When I arrived at the Sign Language Center in Manhattan for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at my hesitant posture and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary.
Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words —often multiple times — was its own kind of torture.
Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping (跺脚) on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stopped as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措辞) is not as important as the way you embody (具体化) what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a single unvarying tone while claiming you’re angry.
I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was insignificant: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body.
4. How did the author feel in the first ASL class?
A. Confused. B. Frustrated. C. Anxious. D. Ambitious.
5. What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet?
A. Putting on smiling facial expressions. B. Being made fun of in front of the class.
C. Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. D. Waving a hand to get someone’s attention.
6. According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL?
A. It requires a combination of signs and emotions. B. It conveys more emotions than verbal language.
C. It’s a universal language system across cultures. D. It has a direct translation of signs for every word.
7. What has the author learned from her learning experience?
A. ASL prioritizes precision over communication. B. Diction is what gives language flavour.
C. Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D. The body is what gives language life.
C
When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates.
This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)already use computer simulations(模拟)of the hearts of patients to assess different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being turbocharged by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts(对应的事物), and fine-tune themselves on new information.
Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts.
Digital twins make it easier for humans to tackle complex problems, allowing people to peer into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world consequences. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gobble up(吞噬) mountains of data, some of it wrong or prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all emerging technologies, as they always have and always will. The emergence of the digital mirror world will doubtless raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already plain to see.
8. What is the main function of a digital twin of a patient?
A. To replace the patient in doctor visits.
B. To track the results of physical checkups.
C. To assist doctors in making accurate diagnoses.
D. To store all the patient’s past medical records.
9. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulations of hearts?
A. Because it can reduce the cost of the operation.
B. Because it is more convenient than using real hearts.
C. Because it can help increase patients’ recovery rates.
D. Because it can avoid the risk of experimenting on real hearts.
10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It creates the basic computer models of physical systems.
B. It offers the ability to forecast and adjust based on new data.
C. It enables the perfect simulation of all physical objects.
D. It tackles the complex problems in the real-world application.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the digital twins?
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Critical.
D
I’m sure you’ve all taken some personality tests, like MBTI test or those in psychology class, that can be great for icebreaker activities but how do introversion and extroversion (内向与外向) play out in our daily lives?
An introverted brain has a high automatic system reactivity which means that they are far less likely to seek out stimulation. Hence, introverts tend to be less social, avoid conflict and often process things the best when alone. Extroverts, however, draw their attention from the environment because of their brain’s low stimulation. They seek out social situations and often feel more comfortable in group settings.
Our current education system emphasizes the need for “collaborative learning”, “project-based learning” and “flipped classrooms (翻转课堂)”. In this system, introversion in students can be commonly misinterpreted by teachers as boredom or problematic issues. Furthermore, introverted students are less likely to participate in group discussions, and oftentimes feel more pressure and anxiety to become extroverted. These feelings can easily flow into other aspects of life and impact an introvert’s social and academic life.
However, there are still upsides to being an introvert. Introverts may not always thrive in the social aspects of a class, but their intense concentration and tendency to be organized and methodical can reflect further success in conventional forms of education like grades and exams. On average, more intelligent children are-found to be introverts than extroverts.
So, what can teachers do? Firstly, one of the most important steps is recognizing; understanding the need to accommodate introverted students, while supporting extroverted students. For example, teachers can redefine participation. Participation shouldn’t just represent the times a student raises their hand or speaks in a discussion. Helping others, volunteering, revising work, etc. all reflect a student’s participation in the class. Besides, they can consider playing with space. Grouped desks might be great for extroverts but consider creating “quiet zones” for students willing to focus on a task or create submission boxes for introverted students to leave their discussion thought.
12. What is the cause of the difference between introverts and extroverts?
A. Communication abilities. B. Attitude towards conflicts.
C. Problem processing capability. D. Brain reactivity to stimulation.
13. What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Succeed. B. Emerge. C. Withdraw. D. Struggle.
14. What does the author suggest teachers do?
A. Develop students’ self-management skills
B. Guide students to develop intense concentration.
C. Encourage students to participate in class debates.
D. Create an introvert-friendly learning environment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Introverts & Extroverts: How Students React to Teaching
B. Psychology of Personality: Challenges of Being Introverted
C. Introverts & Extroverts: When Classrooms Overlook Introverts
D. Psychology of Personality: Discussions on Class Participation

No More Chicken Wings, Please!
Could I eat another bite? I glanced at my car seat, piled high with takeaway chicken wings. Six orders in one afternoon had pushed me to my limit. Feeling overly full was nothing new for a food critic, but I’d finally had enough of this stressful, unhealthy job.
Six years earlier, I’d been thrilled to land this job. I drove hundreds of miles every week, eating out four to five times a day to hunt for hidden restaurants, unique dishes and untold stories. ____16____ “Wait! You get paid to eat? That’s my dream job,” they’d say.
Outwardly it seemed like a dream job, but it was far from enjoyable. I never complained about the pressure, rushing from meal to meal and deadline to deadline, constantly putting off regular medical check-ups. ____17____ “I’d like this number lower,” my doctor said, pointing at my high cholesterol. “I can’t control my diet for work,” I replied.
Many food writers only take one bite of each dish, but I always finished the meals I loved. My weight climbed steadily, exercise did little to help, and long-term overeating did lasting harm to my body. One day, my doctor warned me seriously, “You’re pre-diabetic.” ____18____ I tried to process the shocking news while eating fish tacos nearby, still unable to turn down the food in front of me. I stayed in the job for another year, but I gradually began to dream of simple home cooking instead of endless restaurant meals. ____19____
“I’m leaving the newspaper,” I told my boss. “Are you sure?” she asked in surprise. Yes, I was completely certain. ____20____ It took months to control my oversized appetite and break bad eating habits, but I was determined to regain my health. Nine months later, I’ve lost the extra weight and my blood sugar is back to normal. Less stress has even made me look younger. “You look so relaxed,” friends said.
A. Tight deadlines took up all my personal time.
B. A huge weight was instantly lifted off my mind.
C. I decided to quit for my health before it was too late.
D. People envied my job the moment they heard about it.
E. My blood test results were alarming when I saw a doctor.
F. The tiring work and overeating ruined my health gradually.
G. OK, so my blood sugar had become a worrying problem too.

Too often, people buy products that ____28____ to their taste but without clever packaging, so his ____29____ was to create something that ____30____ quality and aesthetics (美学), so that people would want to put it in their bathroom.
It was not beyond their ____31____ that their goods sold well. Their donation to WaterAid Australia has grown from the initial 2, 500 AUD to 5.85 million AUD, they becoming its largest ____32____.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane was the fastest runner in the school’s track and field team (田径队). Every morning, she’d be the first to reach the track, her old running shoes hitting the ground-their bottoms were broken, and the laces had been tied many circles to keep them from falling apart. Life at home was a mess: her dad’s small repair shop closed down, and her mom had to take on two part-time jobs to pay the bills. But Jane never complained (抱怨); running was her way to relax, and she’d even won third place in the last city 800-meter race with those worn shoes.
One afternoon, the coach called the team together: “The city’s track competition is next month. All runners must wear new running shoes for safety and better performance — no old or worn ones allowed.” Jane’s heart dropped. She looked down at her shoes, knowing a new pair would cost too much and that her family couldn’t afford it. That night, she sat on her bed, touching the shoes over and over, all kinds of ideas flying across the mind. She thought of giving up the competition, but the thought of letting her team down made her heart ache.
The next day, Jane fell behind during practice, her steps slower than usual. Sarah, the team’s leader and her closest friend, noticed. “You’re not your usual self — what’s troubling you?” At first, Jane shook her head, but she opened up at last. She talked about the new shoes and her family’s trouble. Sarah listened quietly, and then said, “We’ll work this out together.”
After practice, Sarah gathered the team except Jane secretly. “Jane’s our top long-distance runner — we can’t let her miss the competition!” They discussed ideas: a bake sale, a charity (慈善) concert... and finally decided on a second-hand book and toy charity sale. For a week, they collected things from classmates and teachers, set up a stand every afternoon, and told everyone about Jane’s story. By Sunday evening, they’d raised more than enough for the shoes — and even a little extra for her family.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Sarah handed Jane a pair of shoes and some money, Jane was surprised.

On the day of the competition, Jane stepped onto the track in her new shoes.

When I arrived at the Sign Language Center in Manhattan for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at my hesitant posture and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary.
Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words —often multiple times — was its own kind of torture.
Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping (跺脚) on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stopped as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措辞) is not as important as the way you embody (具体化) what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a single unvarying tone while claiming you’re angry.
I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was insignificant: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body.
4. How did the author feel in the first ASL class?
A. Confused. B. Frustrated. C. Anxious. D. Ambitious.
5. What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet?
A. Putting on smiling facial expressions. B. Being made fun of in front of the class.
C. Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. D. Waving a hand to get someone’s attention.
6. According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL?
A. It requires a combination of signs and emotions. B. It conveys more emotions than verbal language.
C. It’s a universal language system across cultures. D. It has a direct translation of signs for every word.
7. What has the author learned from her learning experience?
A. ASL prioritizes precision over communication. B. Diction is what gives language flavour.
C. Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D. The body is what gives language life.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者学习美国手语(ASL)的经历,从初期的困惑、尴尬,到逐渐理解手语的交流特点,领悟到其精准性源于肢体语言的表达。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary.(这让人晕头转向:为了鼓励沉浸式学习并尊重聋人教师,上课时间严格要求“保持安静”。没有了说话的能力,我和所有同学只能一边学习新词汇,一边互相微笑点头。)”可知,“disorienting”意为“令人困惑的”,作者在第一堂手语课上因课堂规则和交流方式的陌生而感到困惑。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words — often multiple times — was its own kind of torture.(这很尴尬:看着十几张礼貌微笑的脸注视着我,我慢慢地拼写、拼错,然后重新拼写——通常要重复好几次——这本身就是一种折磨。)”可知,作者在学习字母表时,因反复拼写、拼错单词而感到尴尬。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的““If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a single unvarying tone while claiming you’re angry. (“如果你想表达“极度渴望”,或许只需比出“想要”这个手语,但要配合恰当的面部表情和肢体姿态来传递那种迫切感。”他补充道,“如果你的表情完全看不出沮丧,那比出“沮丧”的手语也毫无意义 ——这就好比你声称自己很生气,说话的语气却平淡无波。”)”可知,美国手语需要手势与情感相结合。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. (虽然美国手语可能与英语没有完全相同的词汇,但这并不意味着它缺乏精准性。我了解到,它的精准性在于肢体这一通用语言。)”可知,作者从学习经历中领悟到,肢体是赋予语言生命力的关键,手语的精准性正是通过肢体表达实现的。故选D项。
C
When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates.
This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)already use computer simulations(模拟)of the hearts of patients to assess different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being turbocharged by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts(对应的事物), and fine-tune themselves on new information.
Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts.
Digital twins make it easier for humans to tackle complex problems, allowing people to peer into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world consequences. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gobble up(吞噬) mountains of data, some of it wrong or prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all emerging technologies, as they always have and always will. The emergence of the digital mirror world will doubtless raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already plain to see.
8. What is the main function of a digital twin of a patient?
A. To replace the patient in doctor visits.
B. To track the results of physical checkups.
C. To assist doctors in making accurate diagnoses.
D. To store all the patient’s past medical records.
9. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulations of hearts?
A. Because it can reduce the cost of the operation.
B. Because it is more convenient than using real hearts.
C. Because it can help increase patients’ recovery rates.
D. Because it can avoid the risk of experimenting on real hearts.
10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It creates the basic computer models of physical systems.
B. It offers the ability to forecast and adjust based on new data.
C. It enables the perfect simulation of all physical objects.
D. It tackles the complex problems in the real-world application.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the digital twins?
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Critical.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是数字孪生技术的发展及所产生的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. (更新你的最新生命体征,它将帮助医生做出准确的诊断。)”可知,数字孪生可以帮助医生做出准确的诊断。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. (在人的心脏上做这种实验太危险了。)”可知,直接在人的心脏上做实验很危险,而使用模拟心脏可以避免这种风险。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“All this is being turbo-charged by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts(对应的事物), and fine-tune themselves on new information. (人工智能(AI)的最新进展为这一切提供了动力,它使数字孪生技术能够对他们的物理对手做出预测,并根据新信息对自己进行微调。)”可知,人工智能(AI)技术的最新发展赋予了数字孪生预测实体状态并依据最新数据实现自我优化的能力。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all emerging technologies, as they always have and always will. The emergence of the digital mirror world will doubtless raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already plain to see. (然而,这些风险并不是数字孪生技术所特有的。它们适用于所有新兴技术,过去是这样,将来也会是这样。数字镜像世界的出现无疑会引发新的问题,但它的潜在优势已经显而易见。)”可知,作者对于数字孪生技术是乐观认可的态度。故选C项。
D
I’m sure you’ve all taken some personality tests, like MBTI test or those in psychology class, that can be great for icebreaker activities but how do introversion and extroversion (内向与外向) play out in our daily lives?
An introverted brain has a high automatic system reactivity which means that they are far less likely to seek out stimulation. Hence, introverts tend to be less social, avoid conflict and often process things the best when alone. Extroverts, however, draw their attention from the environment because of their brain’s low stimulation. They seek out social situations and often feel more comfortable in group settings.
Our current education system emphasizes the need for “collaborative learning”, “project-based learning” and “flipped classrooms (翻转课堂)”. In this system, introversion in students can be commonly misinterpreted by teachers as boredom or problematic issues. Furthermore, introverted students are less likely to participate in group discussions, and oftentimes feel more pressure and anxiety to become extroverted. These feelings can easily flow into other aspects of life and impact an introvert’s social and academic life.
However, there are still upsides to being an introvert. Introverts may not always thrive in the social aspects of a class, but their intense concentration and tendency to be organized and methodical can reflect further success in conventional forms of education like grades and exams. On average, more intelligent children are-found to be introverts than extroverts.
So, what can teachers do? Firstly, one of the most important steps is recognizing; understanding the need to accommodate introverted students, while supporting extroverted students. For example, teachers can redefine participation. Participation shouldn’t just represent the times a student raises their hand or speaks in a discussion. Helping others, volunteering, revising work, etc. all reflect a student’s participation in the class. Besides, they can consider playing with space. Grouped desks might be great for extroverts but consider creating “quiet zones” for students willing to focus on a task or create submission boxes for introverted students to leave their discussion thought.
12. What is the cause of the difference between introverts and extroverts?
A. Communication abilities. B. Attitude towards conflicts.
C. Problem processing capability. D. Brain reactivity to stimulation.
13. What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Succeed. B. Emerge. C. Withdraw. D. Struggle.
14. What does the author suggest teachers do?
A. Develop students’ self-management skills
B. Guide students to develop intense concentration.
C. Encourage students to participate in class debates.
D. Create an introvert-friendly learning environment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Introverts & Extroverts: How Students React to Teaching
B. Psychology of Personality: Challenges of Being Introverted
C. Introverts & Extroverts: When Classrooms Overlook Introverts
D. Psychology of Personality: Discussions on Class Participation
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了内向学生在课堂上容易受到忽视,作者建议老师给学生创设适合内向学生学习的课堂环境。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“An introverted brain has a high automatic system reactivity which means that they are far less likely to seek out stimulation. Hence, introverts tend to be less social, avoid conflict and often process things the best when alone. Extroverts, however, draw their attention from the environment because of their brain’s low stimulation.(内向的大脑具有很高的自动系统反应性,这意味着他们不太可能寻求刺激。因此,内向的人往往不太善于社交,避免冲突,并且经常在独处时处理事情最好。然而,外向的人会因为他们的大脑刺激性低而将从周围的环境中吸引注意力。)”可知,造成内向和外向差异的原因就是大脑对刺激的反应,内向对刺激的反应高,而外向的人大脑对刺激的反应低。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“......but their intense concentration and tendency to be organized and methodical can reflect further success in conventional forms of education like grades and exams(但是,他们的高度专注和有组织有条理的倾向,可以反映出他们在成绩和考试等传统教育形式中取得的进一步成功。) ”可知,内向的人也可以取得成功。根据此句中的“but”可知,前句应表示内向的人不总是取得成功,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Firstly, one of the most important steps is recognizing; understanding the need to accommodate introverted students, while supporting extroverted students.(首先,最重要的步骤之一是认识;理解需要容纳内向的学生,同时支持外向的学生。)”和“Grouped desks might be great for extroverts but consider creating “quiet zones” for students willing to focus on a task or create submission boxes for introverted students to leave their discussion thought.(分组办公桌可能对外向的人很好,但考虑为愿意专注于任务的学生创建“安静区域”,或者为内向的学生创建提交箱,让他们留下讨论的想法。)”可知,作者建议老师适合内向学生的学习环境。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, what can teachers do? Firstly, one of the most important steps is recognizing; understanding the need to accommodate introverted students, while supporting extroverted students. (那么,老师们能做些什么呢?首先,最重要的步骤之一是认识到;理解需要容纳内向的学生,同时支持外向的学生。)”和本文的主要内容可知此文主要讲述了内向学生在课堂上容易受到忽视,作者建议老师给学生创设适合内向学生学习的课堂环境,故选C。

No More Chicken Wings, Please!
Could I eat another bite? I glanced at my car seat, piled high with takeaway chicken wings. Six orders in one afternoon had pushed me to my limit. Feeling overly full was nothing new for a food critic, but I’d finally had enough of this stressful, unhealthy job.
Six years earlier, I’d been thrilled to land this job. I drove hundreds of miles every week, eating out four to five times a day to hunt for hidden restaurants, unique dishes and untold stories. ____16____ “Wait! You get paid to eat? That’s my dream job,” they’d say.
Outwardly it seemed like a dream job, but it was far from enjoyable. I never complained about the pressure, rushing from meal to meal and deadline to deadline, constantly putting off regular medical check-ups. ____17____ “I’d like this number lower,” my doctor said, pointing at my high cholesterol. “I can’t control my diet for work,” I replied.
Many food writers only take one bite of each dish, but I always finished the meals I loved. My weight climbed steadily, exercise did little to help, and long-term overeating did lasting harm to my body. One day, my doctor warned me seriously, “You’re pre-diabetic.” ____18____ I tried to process the shocking news while eating fish tacos nearby, still unable to turn down the food in front of me. I stayed in the job for another year, but I gradually began to dream of simple home cooking instead of endless restaurant meals. ____19____
“I’m leaving the newspaper,” I told my boss. “Are you sure?” she asked in surprise. Yes, I was completely certain. ____20____ It took months to control my oversized appetite and break bad eating habits, but I was determined to regain my health. Nine months later, I’ve lost the extra weight and my blood sugar is back to normal. Less stress has even made me look younger. “You look so relaxed,” friends said.
A. Tight deadlines took up all my personal time.
B. A huge weight was instantly lifted off my mind.
C. I decided to quit for my health before it was too late.
D. People envied my job the moment they heard about it.
E. My blood test results were alarming when I saw a doctor.
F. The tiring work and overeating ruined my health gradually.
G. OK, so my blood sugar had become a worrying problem too.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane was the fastest runner in the school’s track and field team (田径队). Every morning, she’d be the first to reach the track, her old running shoes hitting the ground-their bottoms were broken, and the laces had been tied many circles to keep them from falling apart. Life at home was a mess: her dad’s small repair shop closed down, and her mom had to take on two part-time jobs to pay the bills. But Jane never complained (抱怨); running was her way to relax, and she’d even won third place in the last city 800-meter race with those worn shoes.
One afternoon, the coach called the team together: “The city’s track competition is next month. All runners must wear new running shoes for safety and better performance — no old or worn ones allowed.” Jane’s heart dropped. She looked down at her shoes, knowing a new pair would cost too much and that her family couldn’t afford it. That night, she sat on her bed, touching the shoes over and over, all kinds of ideas flying across the mind. She thought of giving up the competition, but the thought of letting her team down made her heart ache.
The next day, Jane fell behind during practice, her steps slower than usual. Sarah, the team’s leader and her closest friend, noticed. “You’re not your usual self — what’s troubling you?” At first, Jane shook her head, but she opened up at last. She talked about the new shoes and her family’s trouble. Sarah listened quietly, and then said, “We’ll work this out together.”
After practice, Sarah gathered the team except Jane secretly. “Jane’s our top long-distance runner — we can’t let her miss the competition!” They discussed ideas: a bake sale, a charity (慈善) concert... and finally decided on a second-hand book and toy charity sale. For a week, they collected things from classmates and teachers, set up a stand every afternoon, and told everyone about Jane’s story. By Sunday evening, they’d raised more than enough for the shoes — and even a little extra for her family.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Sarah handed Jane a pair of shoes and some money, Jane was surprised.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the competition, Jane stepped onto the track in her new shoes.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When Sarah handed Jane a pair of shoes and some money, Jane was surprised. “Here is a pair of running shoes for you and some extra money for your family,” Sarah said, smiling. The shoes were bright blue — Jane’s favorite color — and they felt soft. Jane’s eyes welled up. She tried to speak, but her throat felt tight. “Why would you all do this?” she finally asked. “Because we’re a team,” Sarah said softly. “Teammates help each other when things get hard.” Holding the shoes, Jane felt a flood of warmth she hadn’t felt in months — hope, not just for the race, but for her family.
On the day of the competition, Jane stepped onto the track in her new shoes. The shoes fit perfectly, light and comfortable. When the starting gun fired, she rushed forward, her legs moving faster than ever. She could hear her teammates cheering from the stands, and their voices gave her strength. In the end, she crossed the finish line first, breaking the city’s record. After the race, she hugged her teammates tightly. “This win is for all of you,” she said. She knew the shoes weren’t just footwear — they were a symbol of friendship that would carry her through any hard time.
