There are some things money can’t buy.Education,however,does not appear to be among them—at least as measured by performance on international exams.A new study by Harvard University offers strong evidence that the wealth of a country affects exam results just as much as the wealth of a pupil’s household does.On average,pupils in wealthy countries obtain vastly higher test scores than those in developing ones.
Evaluating test scores around the world is harder than it sounds.Although pupils in the rich world mostly take one of a few big international exams,many developing countries rely on regional tests,making apples-to-apples comparisons impossible.
Researchers organized an exam in 2016 for 2,314 children in India,which included both questions from the leading tests and ones taken from smaller exams.Using answers from the same pupils on the same day to questions from different tests,they built a statistical model they called a “Rosetta Stone”.It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.
They then used these equations(等式) to estimate how pupils in 80 different countries would fare on the benchmark(基准) Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).Their data show that the wealth of a student’s country and family have similar impacts on test scores—meaning that big gaps in GDP per person matter more than small ones in household income do.For example,pupils from families that are very poor by rich-world standards—those earning $5,000 a year—are expected to score around 500 out of 1,000 on the TIMSS in America,and 560 in Japan.In contrast,those whose parents make $10,000 a year in an upper-middle income country can only get the equivalent(等值) of a 475.
The influence of parental earnings is not constant.Rich people tend to educate their children privately in places where wealth is concentrated,such as Brazil.However,in countries with relatively flat income distributions,like Croatia,pupils from different social classes are more likely to attend the same schools.This could reduce the impact of family wealth on test scores.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了哈佛大学的一项新研究证明一个国家的富裕程度和学生家庭的富裕程度对考试成绩的影响一样大。
4.Why is it hard to evaluate the exam scores on a global level?
A.Because the types of exams vary with countries.
B.Because many rich countries refuse regional tests.
C.Because the wealth of a country affects exam results.
D.Because no international exam is available to poor areas.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,富裕国家的学生大多会参加大型国际考试,而许多发展中国家依靠地区考试,说明不同国家的考试的类型不一,使得从全球范围评估考试成绩变得不可能。故选A。
5.Why did the researchers establish a “Rosetta Stone”?
A.To integrate different exams into a common one.
B.To evaluate different exams with distinct approaches.
C.To fix the standard of the exams in different countries.
D.To turn scores of different exams into an equivalent mark.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.”可知,研究者创建Rosetta Stone是为了将不同考试的分数转化为等值分数。故选D。
6.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Poor students tend to be academically superior to rich ones.
B.Students from rich families will definitely get higher grades.
C.The influence of family income on students is related to circumstances.
D.People with high social status are more likely to educate their children privately.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在财富集中的地方,富人倾向于让他们的孩子接受私人教育,而在收入分配相对平等的国家,来自不同社会阶层的学生更有可能上同样的学校。由此可推知,家庭收入的多少对学生的影响和其所在的环境有关系。故选C。
7.What is the text mainly about?
A.Education is something money can’t buy.
B.The wealth of a country matters for education.
C.Family income plays an important role in education.
D.A statistical model helps to evaluate the exam scores.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段中“A new study by Harvard University...than those in developing ones.”指出,国家富裕的程度对孩子教育的影响起着至关重要的作用,接下来的段落主要围绕这一点展开论述。所以选项B最能概括文意,故选B。
C(★)
Definitions of adult learning vary,but it is usually defined as all forms of learning undertaken by adults after having left initial education and training,however far this process may have gone.
Education and training are important factors for achieving the strategy objectives of raising economic growth competitiveness and social inclusion.However,with some exceptions,the process of implementing education and training remains weak.Most education and training systems are still largely focused on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the lifespan.
An additional 4 million adults would need to participate in lifelong learning.Recent research confirms the importance of investing in adult learning.The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier,with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.
The big economic challenge in Europe is to raise its growth and employment performance while preserving social cohesion(凝聚力).The rapid progress in other regions of the world shows the importance of creative,advanced and quality education and training as key factors of economic competitiveness.General levels of competence must increase,both to meet the needs of the labour market and to allow citizens to function well in today’s society.
Europe is facing big demographic(人口的) changes that will have a major impact on society and on the economy and consequently on education and training provision and needs.Over the next 30 years,the number of younger Europeans will fall by 15%.One in three Europeans will be over 60 years old,and about one in ten will be over 80.
Given the challenges identified above,raising the overall level of skills of the adult population by offering more and better learning opportunities throughout adult life is important for both efficiency and equity reasons.Not only does lifelong learning help make adults more efficient workers and more active citizens,it also contributes to their personal well-being.
8.Which can replace the underlined word “implementing” in paragraph 2?
A.Carrying out. B.Taking in.
C.Knowing about. D.Looking over.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文的 “Most education and training systems are still largely...for learning throughout the lifespan.”可知,大多数教育系统仍主要关注年轻人,而关注终身教育的体系却没取得什么进步,即实施教育和培训的进程仍然薄弱。由此可推知,implementing意为“执行,实施”,相当于carrying out。故选A项。
9.What can we learn from the research?
A.Adults have reduced healthcare costs.
B.Learning is good for adults’ health.
C.Few adults need to receive learning.
D.More researches will focus on learning.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier,with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.”可知,参与学习有益于成年人的健康。故选B项。
10.What problem does Europe face according to the text?
A.Europeans are not healthy.
B.Many old Europeans have died.
C.The European population is aging.
D.Young Europeans are out of work.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段“Europe is facing big demographic(人口的) changes...Over the next 30 years,the number of younger Europeans will fall...about one in ten will be over 80.”可知,未来三十年,欧洲年轻人的数量会减少,而老年人的数量会增多。这表明欧洲正面临人口老龄化问题。故选C项。
11.What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A.Lifelong learning is essential.
B.Raising adult population is significant.
C.We should help more efficient workers.
D.Work contributes to personal well-being.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Given the challenges identified above,raising the overall level...important for both efficiency and equity reasons.”可知,作者想表达终身教育是必不可少的。故选A项。

As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately,there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember,though,what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook(素描本) for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future.__1__ You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come.
·Paint often and paint from life.There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lifes,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.__2__
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new.__3__ Artistic growth can be a bit painful.Welcome to the club;we’ve all been there.I love taking on challenges.I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
·__4__ Seeking and accepting constructive feedback(反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and,in turn,have met some of the kindest people.They make me feel valued and respected,no matter my level of artistic ability.
The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.__5__ Push through,give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B.Make career plans and set goals.
C.Don’t throw away your beginner art.
D.Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You’ll hit roadblocks,and you’ll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and,if needed,redefine your role.
G.You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.
1.答案 C
解析 根据设空处前后文内容可知,空处应是一个过渡句,从给出建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践,到回顾自己的艺术之旅,所以C项(不要扔掉你初学时的艺术作品)符合文意,和后文形成顺承关系。故选C。
2.答案 G
解析 设空处位于段尾,是对本段的总结,根据前文可知,本段主要讲述要不断练习绘画,所以G项(你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)是对前文的总结。故选G。
3.答案 A
解析 根据前文“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.”以及后文“Artistic growth can be a bit painful.”可知,A项(走出你的舒适区)是对前句的进一步说明,且与后文构成顺承关系。故选A。
4.答案 D
解析 设空处位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文内容可知,本段主要讲述的是可以分享自己的作品以获得建设性的反馈,所以D项(如果你感觉舒适的话,可以分享你的作品)符合本段的主旨。故选D。
5.答案 E
解析 根据前文“The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path.”以及后文“Push through,give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.”可知,E项(你会遇到障碍,有时你会感到气馁)是对前句的进一步说明,且与后文构成顺承关系。故选E。

Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students.Therefore,it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood.A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction,known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children,aged 5 to 6,who had just started school.They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds;a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms;and a control group that received traditional,seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient(熟练的) at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction,” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition,Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds,she adds,“There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish.These sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them,they will be better readers.”
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke,who led the study,explains,“The primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start.The idea is that if,through play and movement,we can learn where their strengths truly lie,we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play,and that’s truly positive.”
Previously,the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement.Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words.This was not possible,which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。全身学习,又称为体验式学习有助于培养孩子的阅读技能。文章介绍了与之相关的研究过程和发现。
1.What were the participants required to do in the study?
A.To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B.To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C.To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D.To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
答案 C

A.By combining learning with games.
B.By offering them chances to cooperate.
C.By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D.By explaining instructions to them patiently.
答案 A

(2024·广东广州模拟)
Beavers(海狸),like humans,change their surroundings to fit their needs.Known as nature’s engineers,they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies.Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物) that would otherwise flow downstream.The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed.There are challenges,though.Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding,and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act,learning to coexist with beavers.Last winter,many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds,frogs,turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern.As beavers worked,they raised water levels about five feet.The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over.But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.
To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers,the county introduced a “beaver_baffle”—a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam,unnoticed by the beavers.
People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees.Recently,Catherine Jones,18,organized a tree-caging event—putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them.It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat,while planting periodically others they like,”said Jones.“We need to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.”
Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path.The balancing act continues.
