Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·湖南衡阳期中）Earlier research had suggested we’re best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It’s supposed to be much harder for older kids. The time when people can learn the rules and structure of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18. “But that’s not so，” says psychologist （心理学家） Joshua Hartshorne. 　　Hartshorne asked friends to take an online English grammar test. After completing the test， volunteers answered questions about where they had lived，the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. Hartshorne also asked how long they had lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped， people shared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne’s group study the answers from 669，498 native and non-native speakers of English.The researchers used statistics to find out when people with different English-speaking experiences reached their top grammar ability. 　　If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12， they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learned both English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a little worse than people who spoke English only， the researchers found. The test results showed that around age 17， people’s ability to learn grammar took a sharp drop. And those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger. Why？The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at surprise：Language learning did not end at 17. People’s English skills kept improving a little until around age 30， the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language. Still， most language learning happened by age 20， the new study decided. 1.What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research？（　　） A.From 17 to 20. B.From 5 to 12. C.Before age 5. D.From 20 to 30. 2.How did Hartshorne get his study statistics？（　　） A.By experimenting in the lab. B.By making an online survey. C.By studying historical records. D.By collecting earlier study results. 3.Which of the following agrees with Hartshorne’s study results？（　　） A.Language learning needs much practice. B.Language learning ends at the age of 17. C.The more languages you learn， the better. D.It is best to learn language after 20 years old. 4.What is the best title for the text？（　　） A.How native speakers learn English？ B.What’s the best age to learn a language？ C.What’s the best way to learn a foreign language？ D.Why non-native speakers can never master a second language？ B 　　（2025·湖南重点高中期中）Sara Thompson showed great effort in getting a degree in teaching， something that not many students can do. She was very happy when she finished school at the State University of New York at Buffalo， and she was the first in her big family to get a college degree. 　　Sara grew up with eight other brothers and sisters on a farm in Buffalo， New York. Her dad had a job that wasn’t on the farm， and her mom took care of the farm with the kids. Upon graduating from high school， Sara went to a school close by to learn skills， and she worked part-time to pay for her classes because her family didn’t have extra money for college. After she finished that school， she kept working to help her younger brothers and sisters pay for their education. 　　Now， Sara is married and has three kids. She decided to go back to school to get a better job and to help her family better， while doing something she really likes： teaching. She chose the program at the State University of New York at Buffalo because it was close to her home. She could drive to her classes and be back home in the evening to take care of her kids. Sara’s family helped her a lot while she was studying： her husband worked extra jobs to pay for things， and her mom， who was 65， sometimes looked after the kids. 　　Even though it was hard， she did well in school and graduated with good grades. Sara had to give up some things to reach her goal， like spending time with her kids and attending important family events. “There were nights when it was very hard to choose between being with my kids and studying for tests or writing papers，” she says. But her kids learned a lot from seeing their mom get her degree. Sara is the first in her family to graduate from college， and she is a great example for her family — she shows that you can do anything if you work hard. 5.What did Sara do after high school？（　　） A.She worked with her dad. B.She funded her own education. C.She managed the farm alone. D.She taught her brothers and sisters. 6.Why did Sara choose the Buffalo program？（　　） A.To save money for her family. B.To learn from top teachers. C.To find a high-paying job. D.To care for her kids easily. 7.What did Sara give up for her studies？（　　） A.Her health. B.Her social life. C.Her family time. D.Her career chances. 8.What’s the lesson we can learn from Sara’s story？（　　） A.Effort brings rewards. B.Time equals money. C.Love overcomes all. D.Schooling is key to success. C 　　（2025·江苏盐城四校联考）Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut （首次演出） as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London， she said， “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought， ‘I’ve got to have more of this，’” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making. 　　All her life she has written is mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine， and， after she went into a care home at 13， Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really， she says， a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years， but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of these results come from her years at the children’s home. She says， “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.” 　　After she graduated， she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche （称心的职业），” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies. 　　Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be， the better the writing is，” she says. Her observations are humorous. 　　“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life，” she says. 　　Does she still feel like an outsider？ 　　“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally！ You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident！” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.” 9.How did Dickins feel about her debut？（　　） A.Nervous. B.Anxious. C.Encouraged. D.Relieved. 10.What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging？（　　） A.Her early stay at the care home. B.Her inexperienced writing skills. C.Her struggle with her university studies. D.Her poor relationship with her husband. 11.How does writing benefit Dickins？（　　） A.It helps her land a good job. B.It develops her sense of humor. C.It makes her overcome her learning disabilities. D.It enables her to get on well with her life. 12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text？（　　） A.Mary Dickins’ First Performance B.Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60 C.Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D.Mary Dickins’ Influence on Performance Poets Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·江苏扬州江都区期中）Do you have a passion for art？ Believe it or not， you don’t need a special degree or certification （证书） to get your art career started.13.（　　） It’s definitely not impossible， however.
