It supports things like Career Clusters, National Curriculum Standards, 21st-century Skills, Project-Based Learning, and Artificial Intelligence Skills.

Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to “take what you need, share what you can”. Now, one year on, their stand, called the “Waverley Co-op”, provides thousands of locals with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. “Residents and charities donate some produce, and we top this up with $100 of fresh fruit and other foods,” says Danielle, who explains that others began adding to the stand with their own donations. “A common story we hear is that the items people take from the stand enable them to save a few extra dollars so they can afford to buy meat that week.” For a new mum Stacey, it’d been the lifeline she needed to keep food on the table for her family. Last year, the 33-year-old’s one-year-old son Kaidan ran into a hot fire screen, badly burning his hands and forehead. Then, her husband lost his job. With Kaidan needing urgent medical care in Hobart 200km away, the mother spent four weeks at her son’s bedside before returning home, which led to piles of overdue bills at home. “Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn’t have had food or nappies,” says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth. “It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community,” says Danielle, who couldn’t be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. “The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection — that’s been the biggest success!” 4. How did Danielle deal with the onions? A. She let others take them away. B. She donated them to a stand. C. She fed her family on them. D. She exchanged them for fresh fruit. 5. What can we learn about Stacey? A. She could merely pay the bills. B. She stayed for a year in Hobart. C. She was jobless after her son’s accident. D. She heard about the stand from others. 6. What does the Waverley Co-op finally bring in Danielle’s opinion? A. Abundant food sources. B. Strengthened bonds among people. C. Moving stories of strangers. D. Increased communication with locals. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Mother Saved Her Son B. Danielle Brought Happiness to People C. A Small Stand Made All the Difference D. The Waverley Co-op Gave People Wealth 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一对夫妇把用不到的洋葱转赠给有需要的人，并受此启发在自家屋外建立一个站点，号召人们“拿你需要的，分享你能分享的”，这个站点旨在将善意传递下去，这一行为帮助到了很多人，建立了人们之间无形的信任，支持和联系的氛围，并取得了成功。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to “take what you need, share what you can”.(考虑到许多家庭都在努力养活自己的亲人，Danielle把洋葱放在屋外，并挂了一个牌子，鼓励当地人“拿你需要的，分享你能分享的”。)”可知，Danielle把洋葱放到屋外，让有需要的人拿走他们。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn’t have had food or nappies,” says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth.(“如果没有Waverley Co-op的帮助，我们就不会有食物和尿布，”Stacey说，她通过别人口口相传发现了由志愿者建立的这个站点。) ”可知，Stacey是从人们口中听说Danielle站点的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection—that’s been the biggest success!(无形的信任、支持和联系——这是最大的成功！) ”可知，在Waverley Co-op社区，由于这种传递善意站点的设立，社区居民之间形成了无形的信任，支持和联系，这能加强人与人之间的联系。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When a stranger gave Danille and her husband Nathan a box of onions which they later found they didn’t need, she decided to pass the kindness on.(当一个陌生人给了Danille和她的丈夫Nathan一盒洋葱，他们后来发现他们并不需要，她决定把这种善意传递下去。)”以及最后一段“It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community,” says Danielle, who couldn’t be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. “The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection—that’s been the biggest success!(能听到这些故事，见到我们社区里的人，这是一种福气，Danielle说，她对一盒洋葱把这么多人聚在一起感到非常高兴。无形的信任、支持和联系——这是最大的成功！) ”可知Danielle一个小小的赠送洋葱的善意行为，最终将善意传递到整个社区，强化了人与人之间的联系，是一个巨大的成功，所以C项“A Small Stand Made All the Difference(小小的善意行为最终改变了世界)”适合做文章标题。故选C。 C “Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally? Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea. One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful. Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. Another natural factor is physical superiority, which is especially evident in sports. IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive, too. But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success, which also relies on social and environmental factors. In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement. Based on Ericsson’s research, here are some tips on how to practise effectively: be motivated; make specific and realistic goals; work outside your comfort zone; be consistent and persistent; and get plenty of rest! For those wanting to become an expert in something, remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions. 8. How did Gladwell support his idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By using examples. C. By interviewing famous people. D. By mentioning other researchers. 9. Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with? A. Practice alone is far from enough. B. 10,000 hours of practice leads to success. C. Practice hours vary from person to person. D. Deliberate practice is much more effective. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The role of practice. B. Factors in creating experts. C. The importance of natural talent. D. Warnings for experts. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the idea “Practice makes perfect”? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论证了练习可能无法至完美，但刻意练习已经被证明能带来明显的提高。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.”（他提到了披头士乐队和微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨。虽然他们似乎都很有天赋，但在成功之前，他们显然也投入了超过1万个小时的练习。）故可推知，格拉德威尔是通过乐队和微软联合创始人为例子来支持他的1万小时理论。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.”（首先，爱立信表示，1万小时是一个平均数字。有些人需要的时间远远少于1万个小时，有些人则更多。更重要的是，爱立信说，只是大量练习是不够的；实践的类型和质量也很重要。他接着解释了“刻意练习”的重要性，刻意练习是指一个人深入练习一项技能的特定部分，而不是把一项技能作为一个整体来练习。）可知，爱立信可能不同意一万个小时的练习通向成功这个观点。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. Another natural factor is physical superiority, which is especially evident in sports. IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive, too. But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success, which also relies on social and environmental factors.”（普林斯顿大学最近的一项研究表明，实践只占到人才水平的26%。很多人说，天赋对成为人才有很大的影响。另一个自然因素是身体优势，这在体育运动中尤其明显。智商、性格、态度和起步年龄也是决定性因素。但成为人才并不等于一蹴而就，成功还取决于社会和环境因素。）可知，这段主要讲的是成为人才的一些因素。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement. Based on Ericsson’s research, here are some tips on how to practise effectively: be motivated; make specific and realistic goals; work outside your comfort zone; be consistent and persistent; and get plenty of rest! For those wanting to become an expert in something, remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions.”（总而言之，熟不能生巧，但刻意的练习已被证明能带来显著的进步。根据爱立信的研究，以下是一些有效练习的建议：积极主动；制定具体而现实的目标；在舒适区之外工作；始终如一，坚持不懈；好好休息！对于那些想成为某方面专家的人来说，要记住，动力是关键——享受你所做的事情，追随你的激情。）故可推知，作者对“熟能生巧”这一观点持客观的态度。故选D项。 D In Chinese cities, food deliverymen are often seen riding at full speed through busy traffic. They rushed from restaurants to different destinations, even under bad weather conditions. The article The Food Deliverymen Are Trapped in the App pointed out that on food delivery service platforms, Eleme and Meituan, the time limit and the route for each delivery order is calculated by an algorithm（算法）.But the algorithm doesn't consider real-life situations, such as red lights, speed limits and fully occupied elevators. The time limit for a delivery order within 2 kilometers is 30 minutes, even shorter in recent years. Delay could mean a fine. So deliverymen rev up, often breaking traffic rules, putting their own lives at risk. Many people asked the platforms to improve the regulations imposed（强加） on the deliverymen. In response to this demand, Eleme announced it would add a button to the app, which allowed customers to extend the time limits for their orders, and encouraged customers to show more respect for deliverymen. But some people felt that the company was staying away from the problem and changing people's attention. Some held the view that the company was putting the responsibility on the customers rather than solving the problem itself. As to delivery delays, solutions are far from enough. As a matter of fact, when a delivery delay happens and the company can' t reach an agreement with the customer on the responsibility, the deliveryman is usually the final one responsible for the delay. The Shanghai Customer Council commented that it was unfair for the deliveryman to be the only side responsible for a delay and problems should be solved between the companies and their employees. Besides, market regulatory departments should stop companies from setting tight schedules for their deliverymen and keep them safe on the roads. 12. What does the underlined expression "rev up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Run away. B. Speed up. C. Wander around. D. Slow down. 13. Who actually gets the blame for a delivery delay? A. The Customer Council. B. The customer. C. The company. D. The deliveryman. 14. What did the Shanghai Customer Council advise market regulatory departments to do? A. Set tight schedules for more orders. B. Solve the problems of delivery delays with the customers. C. Stop companies from setting tight schedules for their employees. D. Employ more deliverymen for the delivery companies. 15. What's the text mainly about? A. The customers' rights should be protected. B. Food delivery regulations need improvement. C. Food deliverymen take risks on their way. D. Delivery platforms earn more than before. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了目前外卖平台计算的运送时间没有考虑到红绿灯、车速和等电梯的因素，因此外卖规章需要被改善。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据划线词后的部分often breaking traffic rules, putting their own lives at risk（经常违反交通规则，把自己的生命置于危险之中）可知，"rev up”意思是加速。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“ As a matter of fact, when a delivery delay happens and the company can' t reach an agreement with the customer on the responsibility, the deliveryman is usually the final one responsible for the delay.”（事实上，当发生延迟交货而公司又不能与客户就责任达成一致时，对延迟交货负责的通常是送货员。）可知因为送外卖延迟，事实上惩罚责备的是送外卖的人。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides, market regulatory departments should stop companies from setting tight schedules for their deliverymen and keep them safe on the roads.”（另外，市场监管部门应该阻止公司们给员工制定严格的安排，让他们保持路上的安全）可知，上海市消费者权益保护委员会建议市场监管部门阻止公司为员工安排紧密的日程安排。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段Besides, market regulatory departments should stop companies from setting tight schedules for their deliverymen and keep them safe on the roads.（此外，市场监管部门应阻止企业为快递员设置紧张的时间安排，确保他们在道路上的安全）结合全文内容，可知文章首段提出了中国城市外卖小哥们不顾路上危险违章全速送外卖的现象，引出市场监管部门应该监督公司改善规则的话题。所以文章主要讲述了食物运送的规章需要被改善。故选B。 【点睛】 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。 Tips for Planning a Nature Walk With Your Child When it comes to planning a nature walk, the key tip to keep in mind is to have fun with it! ____16____ If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了计划与孩子一起在大自然散步的几点建议。 【16题详解】 后文“If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.(如果孩子们有机会体验大自然，即使是简单的方式，互动和参与也会自然而然地随之而来)”谈到，如果给予孩子探索自然的机会，即便是简单的方式，孩子也会自然地互动和参与起来，据此可以推断出此处应该谈到大自然散步是一件并不复杂的事情，D项“自然漫步并不一定要很复杂”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据前文“If your little one is anxious to crawl (爬) in the dirt to get a better look at worms, then go for it!(如果你的孩子急于在泥土里爬，以便更好地观察蠕虫，那就去做吧)”和后文“Research suggests that kids who play the dirt are exposed to bacteria, germs and viruses that can help build their immune (免疫) system and reduce the risks of certain allergies and illnesses later in life.(研究表明，玩泥巴的孩子会接触到细菌、病菌和病毒，这些细菌和病毒可以帮助他们建立免疫系统，降低日后患某些过敏和疾病的风险)”可知，此处与dirt有关，结合后文谈到的好处可以推断出于dirt的优缺点有关，E项“肮脏可能会有坏名声，但它不应该”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“Encourage them to stop to turn over rocks, touch moss, and when they can, climb on and over rocks and fallen trees. Whatever the environment, which you assess for any unreasonable danger, the children can set the pace — stimulating confidence, flexibility, problem-solving, creativity, and a sense of wonder.(鼓励他们停下来翻石头，摸苔藓，如果可以的话，爬上石头和倒下的树。无论环境如何，你评估任何不合理的危险，孩子们都可以设定节奏——激发信心，灵活性，解决问题的能力，创造力和惊奇感)”可知，本段谈到鼓励孩子们多去跟大自然接触，去体验不同的环境，家长在确保环境安全的前提下，让孩子确定与大自然接触的节奏，B项“让孩子们带路”符合本段主旨，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Get creative.(变得有创造力)”可知，本段于创造力有关，结合本段末句“Collecting rocks while on your nature walk can later he painted and re-purposed as beautiful works of art(在大自然中散步时收集的岩石可以在以后被他绘画并重新利用为美丽的艺术品)”可知，C项“大自然对激发孩子的创造力再合适不过了”符合本段主题，故选C。 【20题详解】 结合本段小标题“Let older children be more adventurous.(让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神)”可知，本段主题是“让大一点的孩子更有冒险精神”，前文“With older kids, you can encourage them to connect with nature on a deeper level by exploring their senses.(对于大一点的孩子，你可以通过探索他们的感官来鼓励他们与自然建立更深层次的联系)”提到通过探索感官来鼓励孩子接触大自然，F项“试着让他们赤脚在不同的地面上行走”是具体的方法，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共五节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I never imagined that an interstate trip could be so exciting.

Then, I noticed an old gentleman raking (耙) in his yard. Feeling energized by the coolness of the fall, I came outside with my son Sam and started to rake leaves in our yard. Just then, I saw the old man leave his house and get into his car. I waved happily at him, smiling, while he simply gave me an icy look before turning his back, “That’s unfriendly,” Sam said. Then two boys stopped by, introducing themselves as our neighbors. They helped us rake our leaves, making a large pile in our yard. While we were taking a rest, they warned us about “Grumpy (脾气坏的) Old Mr. Roberts”. They told us they were walking to the school bus one day, and, on a whim (一时兴起), they jumped into the leaves that Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts had raked into a sweet mountain next to the bus pickup. The old man had hidden dog shit in the leaves. “I guess he doesn’t want anyone to jump into his leaves,” I said. Rolling their eyes, they said, “He doesn’t want anyone in his life.” After they left, I wondered how I would feel if I was old and alone. Sam and I decided to befriend Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts. Carrying cookies, we went to visit him. We knocked twice and put smiles on our faces. “What do you want?” he asked, as if we were selling him something. We introduced ourselves and offered him the cookies. But he refused and closed his door. A few days later, it was time to do more raking. The neighbor’s tree had dropped so many leaves that it took us long to finish our yard, but I wanted our pile to be bigger so the kids could play for more fun. So I walked to Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts’ yard and began raking his leaves without hesitation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Surprised, he watched me from his window. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitantly, Mr. Roberts picked up a spare rake from his garage and began working alongside us. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Surprised , he watched me from his window. After a while, Mr. Roberts slowly opened his front door and stepped outside, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. “What do you think you’re doing?” he grumbled, though his voice lacked its usual sharpness. I paused, leaning on the rake. “Your leaves were mixing into ours, so I thought I’d help tidy them up,” I said with a smile. “Besides, the kids love jumping into big piles — maybe you’d like to see them play?” Sam, sensing the moment, ran over with an armful of golden leaves “Look, Mr. Roberts! We can make the biggest pile ever!” His enthusiasm was infectious, and for the first time, the old man’s stern expression softened just a little. Hesitantly, Mr. Roberts picked up a spare rake from his garage and began working alongside us. At first, he barely spoke, but as we worked, Sam’s cheerful chatter about school and the changing seasons seemed to chip away at his gruff exterior. By the time we’d gathered all the leaves into a towering heap, Mr. Roberts even let out a quiet chuckle as Sam dove into it with a whoop. “Used to do that as a boy,” he mumbled. As we turned to leave, he hesitated, then called out, “Wait.” He disappeared inside and returned with a bag of apples from his tree into my hands. Though he went back and shut the door quickly, it was lighter than before — like a door cracked open, just a little. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和儿子Sam主动帮助脾气古怪的邻居Roberts先生清理落叶，通过真诚打动他，最终打破隔阂、建立情感联系的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他从窗户里惊讶地看着我。”可知，第一段可描写Roberts先生对作者帮忙耙叶子的举动感到意外，并逐步表现出态度的软化。 ②由第二段首句内容“Roberts先生犹豫地拿起一把多余的耙子，开始和我们一起干活。”可知，第二段可描写他在互动中逐渐敞开心扉，展现出温情的一面。 2.续写线索：主动帮忙——Roberts观察与疑惑——尝试沟通——情感破冰——Roberts参与劳动——建立连接——最终关系转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走出：step outside/go outside ②倚靠：lean on/rest on ③返回：return/come back 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/passion ②欢快的：cheerful/joyful 【点睛】【高分句型1】As we turned to leave, he hesitated, then called out, “Wait.” (使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Though he went back and shut the door quickly, it was lighter than before — like a door cracked open, just a little.

B When a stranger gave Danille and her husband Nathan a box of onions which they later found they didn’t need, she decided to pass the kindness on. Mindful of many families struggling to feed their loved ones, Danielle placed the onions outside her home with a sign encouraging locals to “take what you need, share what you can”. Now, one year on, their stand, called the “Waverley Co-op”, provides thousands of locals with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. “Residents and charities donate some produce, and we top this up with $100 of fresh fruit and other foods,” says Danielle, who explains that others began adding to the stand with their own donations. “A common story we hear is that the items people take from the stand enable them to save a few extra dollars so they can afford to buy meat that week.” For a new mum Stacey, it’d been the lifeline she needed to keep food on the table for her family. Last year, the 33-year-old’s one-year-old son Kaidan ran into a hot fire screen, badly burning his hands and forehead. Then, her husband lost his job. With Kaidan needing urgent medical care in Hobart 200km away, the mother spent four weeks at her son’s bedside before returning home, which led to piles of overdue bills at home. “Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn’t have had food or nappies,” says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth. “It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community,” says Danielle, who couldn’t be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. “The invisible atmosphere of trust, support, and connection — that’s been the biggest success!” 4. How did Danielle deal with the onions? A. She let others take them away. B. She donated them to a stand. C. She fed her family on them. D. She exchanged them for fresh fruit. 5. What can we learn about Stacey? A. She could merely pay the bills. B. She stayed for a year in Hobart. C. She was jobless after her son’s accident. D. She heard about the stand from others. 6. What does the Waverley Co-op finally bring in Danielle’s opinion? A. Abundant food sources. B. Strengthened bonds among people. C. Moving stories of strangers. D. Increased communication with locals. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Mother Saved Her Son B. Danielle Brought Happiness to People C. A Small Stand Made All the Difference D. The Waverley Co-op Gave People Wealth C “Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally? Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea. One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful. Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. Another natural factor is physical superiority, which is especially evident in sports. IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive, too. But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success, which also relies on social and environmental factors. In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement. Based on Ericsson’s research, here are some tips on how to practise effectively: be motivated; make specific and realistic goals; work outside your comfort zone; be consistent and persistent; and get plenty of rest! For those wanting to become an expert in something, remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions. 8. How did Gladwell support his idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By using examples. C. By interviewing famous people. D. By mentioning other researchers. 9. Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with? A. Practice alone is far from enough. B. 10,000 hours of practice leads to success. C. Practice hours vary from person to person. D. Deliberate practice is much more effective. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The role of practice. B. Factors in creating experts. C. The importance of natural talent. D. Warnings for experts. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the idea “Practice makes perfect”? A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Objective. D In Chinese cities, food deliverymen are often seen riding at full speed through busy traffic. They rushed from restaurants to different destinations, even under bad weather conditions. The article The Food Deliverymen Are Trapped in the App pointed out that on food delivery service platforms, Eleme and Meituan, the time limit and the route for each delivery order is calculated by an algorithm（算法）.But the algorithm doesn't consider real-life situations, such as red lights, speed limits and fully occupied elevators. The time limit for a delivery order within 2 kilometers is 30 minutes, even shorter in recent years. Delay could mean a fine. So deliverymen rev up, often breaking traffic rules, putting their own lives at risk. Many people asked the platforms to improve the regulations imposed（强加） on the deliverymen. In response to this demand, Eleme announced it would add a button to the app, which allowed customers to extend the time limits for their orders, and encouraged customers to show more respect for deliverymen. But some people felt that the company was staying away from the problem and changing people's attention. Some held the view that the company was putting the responsibility on the customers rather than solving the problem itself. As to delivery delays, solutions are far from enough. As a matter of fact, when a delivery delay happens and the company can' t reach an agreement with the customer on the responsibility, the deliveryman is usually the final one responsible for the delay.

Then, I noticed an old gentleman raking (耙) in his yard. Feeling energized by the coolness of the fall, I came outside with my son Sam and started to rake leaves in our yard. Just then, I saw the old man leave his house and get into his car. I waved happily at him, smiling, while he simply gave me an icy look before turning his back, “That’s unfriendly,” Sam said. Then two boys stopped by, introducing themselves as our neighbors. They helped us rake our leaves, making a large pile in our yard. While we were taking a rest, they warned us about “Grumpy (脾气坏的) Old Mr. Roberts”. They told us they were walking to the school bus one day, and, on a whim (一时兴起), they jumped into the leaves that Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts had raked into a sweet mountain next to the bus pickup. The old man had hidden dog shit in the leaves. “I guess he doesn’t want anyone to jump into his leaves,” I said. Rolling their eyes, they said, “He doesn’t want anyone in his life.” After they left, I wondered how I would feel if I was old and alone. Sam and I decided to befriend Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts. Carrying cookies, we went to visit him. We knocked twice and put smiles on our faces. “What do you want?” he asked, as if we were selling him something. We introduced ourselves and offered him the cookies. But he refused and closed his door. A few days later, it was time to do more raking. The neighbor’s tree had dropped so many leaves that it took us long to finish our yard, but I wanted our pile to be bigger so the kids could play for more fun. So I walked to Grumpy Old Mr. Roberts’ yard and began raking his leaves without hesitation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Surprised, he watched me from his window. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitantly, Mr. Roberts picked up a spare rake from his garage and began working alongside us. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
