第一节[2025淮北十二中月考]
The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn't want summer to end, but I was excited about going to high school for my first week.
When I got to school in the morning on the first day, I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar(不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was fun and always made us excited.
After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn't feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn't feel ready after all. My teacher's name is Mr Valassidis, but he told us to call him Mr V. Mr V told us that we would have to write 40 essays(文章) and read APlevel books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? APlevel books? Now I was afraid.
The courses in high school seem like they're going to get much harder, but they haven't yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too.
The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming(令人不知所措的)—the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience from what I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I'm really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I'm meeting new people.

第二节
Learning how to study effectively is a lifelong skill that benefits high school students significantly. __1__. They are often seen to rely on methods like underlining or rereading, which waste time without boosting(增强) memory. The following strategies will help you study smarter, not harder.
• Embrace(欣然接受) selftesting regularly
Selftesting is more effective than passive review. Instead of passively reviewing notes, ask yourself questions about the material—for example, “What are the key steps of distributed practice?” or “Why is rereading inefficient?” __2__.
• Practise distributed learning
Doing all your studying in one night is ineffective. __3__. For instance, if you're preparing for a biology test, study for 30 minutes on Monday, 20 minutes on Wednesday, and 25 minutes on Friday instead of 2 hours the night before. Spacing out sessions improves longterm memory.
• __4__
Relate new concepts to what you already know or have experienced. If you're learning about economics, relate supply and demand to your experience of buying limitededition sneakers. Making personal connections turns abstract concepts into meaningful information that's easier to remember.
• Avoid multitasking at all costs
Switching between homework, social media, and music reduces focus and slows down learning. __5__. Those are the last things you're expected to do. Instead, focus fully on one task for 25 minutes, and then take a 5minute break—this method maximizes efficiency and prevents burnout.
Mastering these strategies takes practice, but the payoff is significant: better grades, less stress, and lifelong learning ability.
A. Relate learning to daily routines
B. Connect new knowledge to experience
C. This active recall strengthens memory and identifies knowledge gaps
D. Many students struggle with study due to ineffective study approaches
E. Doing a few tasks at once divides attention and prevents deep understanding
F. Spreading out study time over several days leads to better learning outcomes
G. Effective learning demands consistent practice and scientific time arrangement
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
六、 选做拔高题[2025南京师范大学附中期中]
Does studying philosophy(哲学) really make people better thinkers? To test this claim(说法), as researchers, we looked at data from more than 600,000 US college graduates, compared philosophy students with those in every other field, and published our findings in the Journal of the American Philosophical Association.
The results were clear. By the end of their senior year, philosophy students did much better than all other students on tests of language and logical reasoning(逻辑推理). They also reported stronger virtues(美德), including curiosity and openmindedness.
Why does philosophy have such an effect? Different from many fields that focus on specific knowledge, philosophy is best understood as a method of research. It asks questions about human life and the universe and then tests possible answers. Doing philosophy means building logical reasoning, recognizing hidden assumptions(假设), and arriving at often surprising conclusions. These habits of mind enable students to think more clearly and carefully from different aspects.
This benefit matters far beyond the classroom. At a time when public trust in higher education is at historic lows and AI is reshaping the workplace, the need for critical thinking has never been greater. AI can generate(生成) information quickly, but it cannot decide what is true or meaningful. If we humans don't examine AIgenerated information, our life is at risk.
Our research does not claim that philosophy alone guarantees wisdom or moral virtue. Intellectual(智力上的) skills can be used for selfish purposes as well as for justice. But the evidence showed that studying philosophy helps us develop habits of thought that are measurable and lasting. It gives students the tools to question assumptions, face uncertainty, and make thoughtful choices in an everchanging world.
In short, philosophy is not beyond us—it is a necessity. It trains the mind, strengthens judgment, and prepares people to meet future challenges with courage.
( ) 1. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. By interviewing philosophy students.
B. By reviewing earlier studies.
C. By comparing data of graduates.
D. By analyzing graduates' behaviour.
( ) 2. What makes philosophy students better thinkers, according to paragraph 3?
A. Their thirst for knowledge.
B. Their curiosity about mysteries.
C. Their critical thinking skills.
D. Their language and logical training.
( ) 3. Why does philosophy matter in today's world?
A. It is changing the workplace worldwide.
B. It gives us wisdom and a sense of justice.
C. It better prepares us for complex realities.
D. It helps rebuild public trust in higher education.
( ) 4. What can we infer from the text?
A. Philosophy matters more than AI in modern society.
B. Philosophy students are the smartest among graduates.
C. Philosophy students adapt well to the changing workplace.
D. We need to study some philosophy to face the uncertain future.
