During my drive home, I kept telling myself that I would find work again in a short time — I am confident in my experience and abilities.This is the same belief as I tried to teach my son. The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing.I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points.Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the score again.With the game in a tie and few seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skills and confidence, he proceeded to make a basket with a defender hanging all over him.The defender was warned for a foul (犯规). As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would make his team three points ahead, I saw the determination on his face.There was no room for self⁃doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill.It was as if he had done it a thousand times.  As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me.I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self⁃doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He will play in the finals, and it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses.At this moment, we both won. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。刚刚失业正处于沮丧、不自信的作者在观看儿子篮球比赛的过程中受到激励,消除了自我怀疑,重新燃起生活的斗志。 4.What did the author estimate his son’s team would be like at first?

Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12. “The elementary school years are a key time in child development,” said Frederic N.Brier, a psycho⁃education professor who led the study, published in Pediatric Research.“And every parent wants to raise a well⁃adjusted child.” Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress (情绪困扰), anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12.Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre⁃existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation. To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development.From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity.At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school. “The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brier.“We found these benefits above and beyond pre⁃existing individual and family characteristics.” “Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development.This involvement appears to be good on a socio⁃emotional level and not just because of physical benefits.Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges.This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现,在6到10岁时参加有组织的体育活动的孩子在12岁时出现情绪问题的可能性较小。 8.Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time? A.To check their health. B.To test their guess. C.To learn about their study. D.To find out suitable sports. 解析:选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers followed a birth ...at the age of 12.”可知,Brier的团队对一个出生组进行一段时间的跟踪调查,是为了检验他们提出的有关参与运动和情绪问题之间关联的猜想。故选B项。 9.How did the researchers reach their conclusion? A.By analyzing data. B.By doing survey on teachers. C.By doing experiments. D.By organizing physical activities. 解析:选A　细节理解题。根据第四段中“To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development.”可知,研究人员通过分析数据来得到结论。故选A项。 10.What does Brier think of the results? A.They are of little value. B.They need further testing. C.They are against their guess. D.They are up to his expectation. 解析:选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre⁃existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.”和倒数第二段中Brier所说的话可知,Brier团队的研究发现成功排除了已有的个人和家庭特征的影响,实现了他们一开始的目标。由此可知,Brier认为研究结果达到他的期望。故选D项。 11.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.It’s easy to raise a well⁃adjusted child B.Organized sport promotes emotional difficulties C.School education is critical for child development D.Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust 解析:选D　标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段可知,文章围绕一项研究展开,介绍了该研究的研究方法、发现和意义。该研究表明参加有组织的体育活动有利于孩子减少情绪问题,更好地适应社会。因此,D项契合文章大意,适合作为标题。 D We often get into arguments with others and probably think we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. According to a recent psychology study, people tend to assume they have all of the information that they need to make decisions — even if they don’t. This is called the Illusion of Information Adequacy, as described in a PLOS One journal article on October 9th, 2024. In the study, researchers from Ohio State, Stanford, surveyed 1,261 Americans online. Group One read an article that only gave reasons why the school should cooperate with another that has better water. Group Two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group Three was the control group that read all of the reasons from the above articles. They found that the majority from Group One and Group Two still believed that they had enough information to make a good decision about what to do. Most said that they would follow the advice in the article they read. Those from Group One were significantly more likely to recommend the schools cooperate, while readers from Group Two were significantly more likely to recommend that the schools remain separate. About 55 percent of the control group recommend the schools cooperate. The participants who had half the information also said that they thought most people would make the same decision as they did. The team calls this belief that we are correct — even when we don’t have all of the information — the Illusion of Information Adequacy. Fletcher describes it as “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know, which leads to overconfident decisions and judgments, when we are missing necessary information.” In a follow⁃up study with 100 readers from Group One and Group Two, the research tried to know what the participants did after hearing both sides. At first, they shared arguments and reasoned together. Eventually, these arguments and reasoning resulted in them saying “That sounds right.” According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to fight the Illusion of Information Adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to pause and ask, “Is there something I’m overlooking that could help me understand their viewpoint better?” This can help reduce interpersonal conflict. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一项心理学研究表明,人们存在信息充足性错觉,即便信息不全也自信决策。研究通过分组调查证实了这一观点,还给出了减少人际冲突的方法,即思考是否忽略了他人的观点。 12.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A.The content of the article. B.The design of the survey. C.The cause of the research. D.The reactions of participants. 解析:选B　段落大意题。根据第二段可知,该段主要讲述了调查的设计,包括分组情况以及每组阅读的内容。 13.What does the Illusion of Information Adequacy lead to? A.Making decisions quickly. B.Feeling much too confident. C.Knowing enough information. D.Always agreeing with others. 解析:选B　细节理解题。根据第五段“Fletcher describes it as ‘The less ...missing necessary information.’”可知,信息充足性错觉会导致人们过于自信。 14.What did the follow⁃up study focus on? A.The research result. B.The number of participants. C.The size of the groups. D.The process of changing minds. 解析:选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In a follow⁃up study ... after hearing both sides.”可知,后续研究关注的是参与者改变想法的过程。 15.What does Fletcher suggest to reduce conflict? A.Agreeing with others’ ideas. B.Focusing on new information. C.Ignoring deeply⁃held beliefs. D.Pausing to consider other views. 解析:选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,弗莱彻建议通过停下来考虑他人观点来减少冲突。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 French explorer Jacques Cartier is known mainly for exploring the St.Lawrence River and giving Canada its name. Like many other European explorers,Jacques Cartier went to North America looking for gold, and perhaps a shortcut to Asia.　16　 It became France’s main route into Canada.  Jacques Cartier was born on December 31, 1491 in Brittany, a province of France.In about 1534, the king of France asked him to lead an expedition (远征) to the New World in search of riches and a new route to Asia. 　17　 There he and his crew explored the land around the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and met native Americans.When he sailed back to France, he took with him two native Americans.   　18　 This time, Cartier sailed deeper into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and into the Saint Lawrence River.The two native Americans he had taken before had learned French,and they served as guides.About 260 miles inland, Cartier reached the native American village of Stadacona.Today,the city of Quebec stands near that place.   Cartier and his men were among the first Europeans to winter in what is now Canada.　19　 After returning to France he reported tales told by the native people of treasures farther inland.   Cartier once again crossed the Atlantic in 1541.　20　 When he returned to France in 1542, he was told that they were just the common minerals pyrite (黄铁矿) (fool’s gold) and quartz (石英).   A.A second voyage came in May 1535. B.Instead he found the Saint Lawrence River. C.The bitter cold surprised them, and some of the men died. D.He made three voyages of exploration in dangerous waters. E.Cartier was considered one of the most devoted explorers of the period. F.He explored further and found what he thought were gold and diamonds. G.In the spring of 1534 Cartier sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to what is now Canada. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了法国探险家雅克·卡蒂埃的三次航海探险经历。 16.选B　根据该空前的“Jacques Cartier went to North America looking for gold”和该空后的“It became France’s main route into Canada.”可知,B项“相反,雅克·卡蒂埃发现了圣劳伦斯河”符合此处语境。空后的It指的就是选项中的the Saint Lawrence River。 17.选G　根据上文中的“In about 1534,the king of France asked him to lead an expedition”可推知,在1534年春天,卡蒂埃横渡大西洋到了现在的加拿大。G选项中的时间与上文相符。 18.选A　根据该空后的“This time,Cartier sailed deeper into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence ...”可推知,A项“在1535年5月,卡蒂埃进行了第二次航行”符合语境。 19.选C　根据该空前的“the first Europeans to winter in what is now Canada”可知,C项“加拿大的严寒令卡蒂埃和船员们难以承受,其中一些船员死于严寒”符合此处语境。 20.选F　根据该空前的“Cartier once again crossed the Atlantic”和该空后的“he was told that they were just the common minerals pyrite (黄铁矿) (fool’s gold) and quartz (石英)”可知,1541年卡蒂埃第三次航海,他进一步探险,发现了他认为是黄金和宝石的“宝物”。故选F项。 第二部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 　21　 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you’ve done well and allowing you to skip a grade (跳级), but you’ll have to 　22　 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 　23　 for the rest of the night. I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the 　24　 decisions adults had to make.  For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 　25　 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 　26　 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.  During my fourth⁃grade holiday break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 　27　 apartment, I became 　28　 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 　29　 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on balancing family and work. 　30　 difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 　31　 attitude.  Back home, I 　32　 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 　33　. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 　34　.  My mother is now back with us.

When I moved to a new city, I was excited about trying new foods, visiting new places, meeting new people and having new experiences.But, I also felt lonely and really wanted to make new friends.I joined a book club and a dinner group.But after a few months, I still felt like I hadn’t made any close friends. One day, someone asked me if I wanted to run in a half marathon.Without thinking, I said, “Sure, count me in!” A half marathon is 13.1 miles, which is a lot longer than the three miles I usually ran.I was a bit scared, but also excited. After the shock wore off, I started to learn everything about running a half marathon.I even bought my first pair of really good running shoes.They were the most expensive shoes I’d ever owned.I was ready to start training with them. My new running friends picked me up at my house, and we started to jog together.I took it slow at first, running one mile, then two.They taught me how to run properly and how to drink enough water.I learned new words like carbo⁃loading, strides, and electrolytes.I slowly built up to running three, four and five miles.Running seven miles straight felt like climbing a really high mountain, and I started to love the feeling I got after a long run. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 The day of the race finally came. 　       All the training I had done was now paying off. 　       参考范文: 　　The day of the race finally came.I stood at the starting line, my heart pounding with excitement and nerves.The announcer counted down, and then the race began.I took off at a sprint, my legs pumping and my arms swinging as I tried to find my rhythm.As I ran, I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead.The sun beat down on me, but I pushed through, focusing on the sound of my breath and the rhythm of my feet hitting the pavement.I passed other runners, feeling a surge of excitement each time I passed someone.As I approached the final stretch, I gave it everything I had left.My legs felt like lead, but I pushed through the pain.I could see the finish line in the distance, and it fueled my determination. All the training I had done was now paying off.I crossed the finish line first! The crowd cheered me up as I crossed the finish line, and I collapsed to the ground, exhausted but delighted.Everyone applauded for me and congratulated me on winning the game.A feeling of excitement and satisfaction seized me.I was really grateful for the tremendous changes that running had brought to my body and mind. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
