From classrooms to concert halls, from stone streets to the cinema screen, the spirit of China’s Spring Festival is increasingly finding a place in everyday life in Malta through this year’s “Happy Chinese New Year” program.
The festivities began on the morning of Feb 6 local time, when the China Xizang autonomous region Art Troupe visited San Miguel Special School. Lively dances, the bright sound of the suona, a traditional Chinese wind instrument, and colorful ethnic costumes brought a festive atmosphere to the campus.
“The children are smiling even more than usual today,” said headmaster Mark Agius, noting that beyond the performance itself, it was the artists’ warm interaction that left a lasting impression. By inviting students onto the stage and dancing hand in hand, the performers helped them feel respected, understood and included, he said.
The celebration continued that evening at the Sir Temi Zammit Hall of the University of Malta, where a “Happy Chinese New Year” performance and Spring Festival reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Malta drew more than 400 guests from various sectors, along with representatives of Chinese-funded institutions and members of the local Chinese community. The program featured dynamic folk dances, traditional music and costume displays that highlighted the cultural heritage of China’s plateau (高原) regions. Applause filled the hall as energetic rhythms mixed with more lyrical (抒情的) pieces, offering the audience a vivid look of diverse artistic traditions.
Students in attendance said they were impressed by both the vitality of the music and the interactive elements. “It’s full of energy and rhythm, and people can join in,” one student said after the show.
In his remarks, Chinese Ambassador to Malta Zhang Zuo said cultural and people-to-people exchanges have provided sustained momentum for two-sided relations since the establishment of diplomatic ties. He said both sides are willing to further deepen cooperation and enhance mutual understanding through exchanges among civilizations.

Artificial intelligence is now routinely used to combine and interpret different kinds of information. Yet one major obstacle remains. Developers must decide which algorithm (算法) is best suited for a specific task, and that choice is often complicated and time consuming in the fast growing field of multi-modal (多模态) AI.
Physicists at Emory University have proposed a clearer, more systematic approach. “We found that many of today’s most successful AI methods boil down to a single, simple idea — shorten multiple kinds of data just enough to keep the pieces that truly predict what you need,” says Nemenman, senior author of the study.
“People have created hundreds of different loss functions for multi-modal AI systems and some may be better than others, depending on the situation,” Nemenman says. “We wondered if there was a simpler way than starting from nothing each time you face a problem in multi-modal AI.”
To address that question, the team created a general mathematical structure for building problem-specific loss functions. Their method focuses on deciding what information should be preserved and what can be removed. Using the framework, AI developers can propose new algorithms, predict which ones are likely to succeed, estimate how much training data they will need, and anticipate possible failure points. “Just as important,” Nemenman says, “it may let us design new AI methods that are more accurate, efficient and trustworthy.”
Their breakthrough came when they identified a single principle describing the balance between simplifying data and reconstructing it. The idea captured the trade-off at the heart of many AI methods.
To evaluate their approach, the team applied the framework to dozens of existing AI methods. “By helping guide the best AI approach, the framework helps avoid encoding features that are not important,” Nemenman says. “The less data required for a system, the less computational power required to run it, making it less environmentally harmful. That may also open the door to frontier experiments for problems that we cannot solve now because there is not enough existing data.”
8. What is the key idea of the new approach?
A. Using loss functions. B. Keeping the essential data.
C. Designing various algorithms. D. Combining different data types.
9. What can AI developers expect from the new framework?
A. Computational costs. B. Environmental impact.
C. Algorithm success rates. D. Data collection methods.
10. What does the word “trade-off” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Balance. B. Conflict. C. Exchange. D. Adjustment.
11. What is Nemenman’s attitude towards the new framework?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章聚焦多模态AI领域的算法选择难题,介绍了埃默里大学物理学家提出的系统性解决方案。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We found that many of today’s most successful AI methods boil down to a single, simple idea — shorten multiple kinds of data just enough to keep the pieces that truly predict what you need (我们发现,当今许多最成功的人工智能方法都可以归结为一个简单的想法——将多种数据精简到只保留那些真正能预测你所需内容的部分)”可知,新方法的关键思想是保留关键数据。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Using the framework, AI developers can propose new algorithms, predict which ones are likely to succeed, estimate how much training data they will need, and anticipate possible failure points. (使用这个框架,人工智能开发人员可以提出新算法,预测哪些算法可能成功,估计他们需要多少训练数据,并预测可能的失败点。)”可知,人工智能开发人员可以从新框架中预测算法成功率。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段中的“Their breakthrough came when they identified a single principle describing the balance between simplifying data and reconstructing it. The idea captured the trade-off at the heart of many AI methods. (当他们确定了一个描述简化数据和重建数据之间平衡的单一原则时,他们取得了突破。这个想法抓住了许多人工智能方法的核心trade-off。)”可知,这个想法抓住了许多人工智能方法的核心平衡,trade-off在这里的意思是“平衡”,与Balance意思相近。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“By helping guide the best AI approach, the framework helps avoid encoding features that are not important,” Nemenman says. “The less data required for a system, the less computational power required to run it, making it less environmentally harmful. That may also open the door to frontier experiments for problems that we cannot solve now because there is not enough existing data. (Nemenman说:“通过帮助指导最佳的人工智能方法,这个框架有助于避免编码不重要的特征。系统所需的数据越少,运行它所需的计算能力就越少,对环境的危害也就越小。这也可能为目前由于现有数据不足而无法解决的问题的前沿实验打开大门。”)”可知,Nemenman对新框架的态度是积极的。

Scientists recently have developed a theoretical model examining whether disturbances in the ionosphere (电离层) could apply electrostatic (静电) forces deep within the Earth’s outer layer. Under certain conditions, these forces might contribute to the start of large earthquakes.
The research is not designed to predict earthquakes. Instead, it outlines a possible physical mechanism showing how shifts in ionospheric charge levels caused by intense solar activity such as solar flares — might interact with already weakened areas of the outer layer and influence how cracks develop.
In this model, cracked regions of the outer layer are thought to contain water at extremely high temperatures and pressures, possibly in a supercritical (超临界的) state. Electrically, these cracked zones may act like capacitors (电容器). They are coupled (连接) both to the Earth’s surface and to the lower ionosphere, creating a vast electrostatic system that links the ground to the upper atmosphere.
When solar activity rises quickly, the number of electrons (电子) in the ionosphere can rise significantly. This can produce a negatively charged layer in the lower ionosphere. Through electrical coupling, that charge may generate intense electric fields inside tiny spaces within cracked rock. The resulting static electric pressure could approach levels similar to tidal or gravitational stresses that are already known to influence crack line stability. According to the team’s calculations, ionospheric disturbances tied to major solar flares might create static electric pressures of several units of pressure within these tiny spaces.
Unusual ionospheric behavior has often been detected before powerful earthquakes. Traditionally, scientists have interpreted it as effects caused by stress building up inside the outer layer. This new framework offers an additional perspective. It suggests a two-way interaction in which processes inside the Earth can influence the ionosphere, while ionospheric disturbances may also send feedback forces back down into the outer layer. The model connects space weather and earthquake activity without claiming that solar activity directly causes earthquakes.
The findings indicate that tracking ionospheric conditions alongside underground measurements could improve understanding of how earthquakes begin and how earthquake risk is assessed. Future work will determine when and how ionospheric disturbances might exert meaningful static electric effects on the Earth’s outer layer.
12. What is the main purpose of the research?
A. To predict earthquake timing.
B. To show solar flares cause earthquakes.
C. To measure electrostatic forces in Earth’s out layer.
D. To describe a link between ionospheric shifts and earthquakes.
13. How do electric fields form in cracked rock according to the model?
A. Solar flares are the only source of such fields.
B. Solar activity directly creates them in all cracks.
C. They occur regardless of ionospheric conditions.
D. They arise from coupling of ionospheric charge and cracked zones.
14. What did the traditional view of pre-earthquake ionospheric changes miss?
A. They might cause earthquakes.
B. They were based on the new model.
C. The ionosphere could also affect the surface.
D. The two-way interaction was fully explained.
15. How does the author present the argument?
A. By listing experimental data.
B. By tracing the research history.
C. By quoting experts on earthquake prediction.
D. By proposing a new idea and making comparisons.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They are coupled (连接) both to the Earth’s surface and to the lower ionosphere, creating a vast electrostatic system that links the ground to the upper atmosphere.(这些裂缝区域同时连接地表与低层电离层,形成连接地表和高层大气的庞大静电系统。)”以及第四段中的“When solar activity rises quickly, the number of electrons (电子) in the ionosphere can rise significantly.(当太阳活动急剧增强时,电离层中的电子数量会大幅增加。)”和“Through electrical coupling, that charge may generate intense electric fields inside tiny spaces within cracked rock.(通过电耦合作用,该电荷会在岩石裂缝的微小空间内产生强电场。)”可知,电场由电离层电荷与裂缝区域的耦合作用产生。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Traditionally, scientists have interpreted it as effects caused by stress building up inside the outer layer. This new framework offers an additional perspective. It suggests a two-way interaction in which processes inside the Earth can influence the ionosphere, while ionospheric disturbances may also send feedback forces back down into the outer layer.(传统观点认为电离层异常是地壳内部压力累积造成的。新理论提出双向相互作用,地球内部活动会影响电离层,电离层扰动也会反向作用于地壳。)”可知,传统观点忽略了电离层也会对地表及地壳产生影响。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Traditionally, scientists have interpreted it as effects caused by stress building up inside the outer layer. This new framework offers an additional perspective. It suggests a two-way interaction in which processes inside the Earth can influence the ionosphere, while ionospheric disturbances may also send feedback forces back down into the outer layer.(传统上,科学家将其解释为地壳内部应力不断累积所产生的影响。这一新研究思路提供了另一种观点。该观点认为二者存在双向相互作用:地球内部的活动会影响电离层,而电离层扰动也可能反过来向地壳传回作用力。)”可知,文章先提出新的研究观点,再将其与传统看法进行对比,以此展开论述。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In middle and high school, group work can quickly go off the rails. Discussions meant to deepen understanding drift off-topic or become controlled by a few voices. Instead of spreading the thinking across the group, one or two students end up doing most of the work. ____16____
But research shows these challenges aren’t necessarily related to student motivation. ____17____ Adolescents are developmentally ready to do more demanding group work. Research suggests teens are naturally willing to analyze materials, deal with complex questions, and explore messy ideas with partners.
____18____ This will help them contribute to a shared visual product. These “art-meets-content” tasks help students build shared understanding while gathering evidence, modeling processes, or representing key ideas visually. The finished products can also serve as visual anchors (锚点) for gallery walks, reviews, or formative assessment.
The jigsaw method creates shared responsibility for learning by making each student an expert on one piece of the material — reducing dominant voices in group work and ensuring all kids are engaged. ____19____ And each person receives a separate part of a lesson plan. Content could be taken from a textbook chapter, a handout, or an online resource, and should be divided into the same number of parts as there are students.
To give every student a voice in group work — especially those who hesitate to speak up — we can let students hold written conversations using sticky notes on poster paper. Instead of talking, students silently add ideas, questions, and evidence to a shared topic, forcing them to slow down their thinking and ensuring everyone participates. ____20____ We can assign colors to different types of responses using colored pens or different colored sticky notes. In other classrooms, different colors could represent claims, evidence, or clarifying questions. The goal is to create conditions for students to read carefully and respond to each other’s ideas with clear, traceable contributions.
A. Meanwhile, the others hang back.
B. Color helps structure the discussion, too.
C. It’s often the result of how group work is designed.
D. Instead, students study their own part independently.
E. In a typical jigsaw, students are divided into small groups.
F. We can assign each student a clear role to focus and equalize group work.
G. In the jigsaw system, each student receives one small part of a bigger lesson.

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍中国灯笼文化,重点讲述“灯城”自贡的灯笼制作工艺、产业价值、文旅影响力,以及灯笼承载的团圆与思乡情怀。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:灯笼如同指引归途的明灯,在元宵、中秋这两个象征团圆的节日里赏灯,已然成为一项传统习俗。此处为“it作形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语”结构,所以此处为代词it。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:提起中国灯笼,就不得不说到位于中国西南四川省的自贡,这座城市素有“灯城”的美誉。结合句意,此处表示“不提及”,介词without符合语境。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:提起中国灯笼,就不得不说到位于中国西南四川省的自贡,这座城市素有“灯城”的美誉。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,a city与recognize之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词recognized。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:大多数中国灯笼由金属骨架和织物外层制作而成。此处为谓语动词,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语Most Chinese lanterns与make之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,其主语为名词复数,所以谓语动词为are made。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:大多数中国灯笼由金属骨架和织物外层制作而成。此处与名词structures并列,作介词with的宾语,需用名词形式,cover对应的名词复数coverings表示“外层、罩面”,
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:翻译:如今制灯产业已成为当地经济的一大支柱,各类节庆展演所用的大型彩灯,大多产自自贡。此处作定语修饰名词force,driving force为固定搭配,意为“驱动力”,所以此处为driving。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:游客们涌向自贡观赏灯笼,同时参与各类休闲活动。此处为非谓语动词作状语,结合句意,此处说明游客前往自贡的目的,用动词不定式to enjoy作目的状语。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:自贡工匠凭借精湛手艺,将这项国家级非物质文化遗产带向海外,在全球七十多个国家和地区举办灯会,献上精彩纷呈、赏心悦目灯光展演。此处修饰名词intangible heritage作定语,需用形容词,nation对应的形容词形式为national意为“国家的”。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:如今自贡灯笼既是这座城市的名片,也同样是国家的名片。此处修饰整个句子,需用副词作状语,equal对应的副词形式为equally意为“同样地”。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:对于中国人而言,灯笼不仅点亮了黑夜,也温暖了一颗颗思乡的心。此处引导定语从句,先行词为hearts,此处指代怀有思乡之情的人,从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词who或that。

Sports Light Up Growth
To me, sports are far more than medals and races, but a warm lesson on growth, a lesson I learned firsthand from the 4×400m relay at our school sports meet last month.
What touched me most was that we insisted on including my deskmate, who had a mild leg injury, in the team rather than replacing him to seek for a higher rank. We adjusted our relay order, trained with him after class, and cheered him on through every single step of the race.
Though we won no prize, I realized the true meaning of sports: they nurture unity, respect and courage, always lighting up our way of growth.

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。
One heavy snow morning, sitting in the living room, Betty looked out of the window, feeling bored. She had promised to go out with her best friend, Lily. They had dreamed for a whole day of building a tall snowman with a carrot nose and an old hat, and of laughing as they threw soft white snowballs at each other. Now it was the very time!
Suddenly, Betty heard a knock at the door. She opened it, seeing an old woman standing there. The woman’s coat was thin, with her gray hair covered with snow, and her hands shook as if the wind might break them. At the sight of the stranger, so weak against the storm, a sense of sympathy rose in Betty’s heart. “Please, come in,” Betty said. As Betty helped the trembling woman inside, a flash of unease mixed with her compassion. She led the stranger to the couch and wrapped her own blanket around the woman’s shoulders. Then Betty hurried to the kitchen, returning with a steaming glass of tea sweetened with honey. The old woman cupped the glass, breathed in the rising steam, and managed a small smile. “I’m Mary. I went out to purchase bread,” she whispered, “but the snow was so heavy that it turned me around. I can’t remember the way back home.” Betty listened carefully, nodding.
Yet, the echo (回声) of Lily’s excited voice, when they were planning their snow adventures that morning, pulled sharply at her heart — Betty had promised. Lily, disappointed by the canceled outing, was likely staying at home, waiting for Betty’s call to share or perhaps initiate an outdoor plan. Betty pictured Lily’s bright face clouding again and felt a heavy sink. The trembling woman needed help now, but the unspoken promise to her friend pressed like a knot (结) inside. Doing the right thing for a stranger meant risking Lily’s trust, and what should she do?
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, a clever idea struck Betty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Gratefully, Mary’s daughter greeted Betty and Lily at the door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, a clever idea struck Betty. She picked up the phone and called Lily at once, explaining the whole story about the lost elderly lady. Lily hurried over shortly after and decided to help together. The two girls helped Mary get fully wrapped up against the cold, then walked into the heavy snow. Following Mary’s vague directions, they walked cautiously on the slippery road. After struggling forward for quite a while, they eventually arrived at Mary’s house and knocked on the door.
Gratefully, Mary’s daughter greeted Betty and Lily at the door. She was overjoyed to see her mother and thanked the two girls sincerely with warm hugs. Feeling proud and delighted, Betty and Lily said goodbye and went back home. Later, they happily built a snowman and played snowball fights as planned. This unforgettable experience made them realize that helping others not only warms people’s hearts, but also brings us greater happiness.

From classrooms to concert halls, from stone streets to the cinema screen, the spirit of China’s Spring Festival is increasingly finding a place in everyday life in Malta through this year’s “Happy Chinese New Year” program.
The festivities began on the morning of Feb 6 local time, when the China Xizang autonomous region Art Troupe visited San Miguel Special School. Lively dances, the bright sound of the suona, a traditional Chinese wind instrument, and colorful ethnic costumes brought a festive atmosphere to the campus.
“The children are smiling even more than usual today,” said headmaster Mark Agius, noting that beyond the performance itself, it was the artists’ warm interaction that left a lasting impression. By inviting students onto the stage and dancing hand in hand, the performers helped them feel respected, understood and included, he said.
The celebration continued that evening at the Sir Temi Zammit Hall of the University of Malta, where a “Happy Chinese New Year” performance and Spring Festival reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Malta drew more than 400 guests from various sectors, along with representatives of Chinese-funded institutions and members of the local Chinese community. The program featured dynamic folk dances, traditional music and costume displays that highlighted the cultural heritage of China’s plateau (高原) regions. Applause filled the hall as energetic rhythms mixed with more lyrical (抒情的) pieces, offering the audience a vivid look of diverse artistic traditions.
Students in attendance said they were impressed by both the vitality of the music and the interactive elements. “It’s full of energy and rhythm, and people can join in,” one student said after the show.
In his remarks, Chinese Ambassador to Malta Zhang Zuo said cultural and people-to-people exchanges have provided sustained momentum for two-sided relations since the establishment of diplomatic ties. He said both sides are willing to further deepen cooperation and enhance mutual understanding through exchanges among civilizations.
4. What was the highlight of the school visit for the headmaster?
A. The artists’ interaction with students. B. The traditional Chinese costumes.
C. The bright sound of the suona. D. The students’ usual smiles.
5. Why were the university audience members impressed?
A. Because of the large guest list.
B. Because of the ambassador’s speech.
C. Because of the plateau region’s heritage.
D. Because of the music’s energy and participation.
6. What can be inferred about the purpose of the events?
A. To establish formal diplomatic ties with Malta.
B. To promote tourism to China’s plateau regions.
C. To build cultural bridges and mutual understanding.
D. To compare Chinese and European artistic traditions.
7. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Chinese Artists Show Plateau Culture
B. Spring Festival Gains a Foothold in Malta
C. Malta Students Meet Chinese Ambassador
D. Cultural Exchange Programs Face Challenges
C
Artificial intelligence is now routinely used to combine and interpret different kinds of information. Yet one major obstacle remains. Developers must decide which algorithm (算法) is best suited for a specific task, and that choice is often complicated and time consuming in the fast growing field of multi-modal (多模态) AI.
Physicists at Emory University have proposed a clearer, more systematic approach. “We found that many of today’s most successful AI methods boil down to a single, simple idea — shorten multiple kinds of data just enough to keep the pieces that truly predict what you need,” says Nemenman, senior author of the study.
“People have created hundreds of different loss functions for multi-modal AI systems and some may be better than others, depending on the situation,” Nemenman says. “We wondered if there was a simpler way than starting from nothing each time you face a problem in multi-modal AI.”
To address that question, the team created a general mathematical structure for building problem-specific loss functions. Their method focuses on deciding what information should be preserved and what can be removed. Using the framework, AI developers can propose new algorithms, predict which ones are likely to succeed, estimate how much training data they will need, and anticipate possible failure points. “Just as important,” Nemenman says, “it may let us design new AI methods that are more accurate, efficient and trustworthy.”
Their breakthrough came when they identified a single principle describing the balance between simplifying data and reconstructing it. The idea captured the trade-off at the heart of many AI methods.
To evaluate their approach, the team applied the framework to dozens of existing AI methods. “By helping guide the best AI approach, the framework helps avoid encoding features that are not important,” Nemenman says. “The less data required for a system, the less computational power required to run it, making it less environmentally harmful. That may also open the door to frontier experiments for problems that we cannot solve now because there is not enough existing data.”
8. What is the key idea of the new approach?
A. Using loss functions. B. Keeping the essential data.
C. Designing various algorithms. D. Combining different data types.
9. What can AI developers expect from the new framework?
A. Computational costs. B. Environmental impact.
C. Algorithm success rates. D. Data collection methods.
10. What does the word “trade-off” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Balance. B. Conflict. C. Exchange. D. Adjustment.
11. What is Nemenman’s attitude towards the new framework?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
D
Scientists recently have developed a theoretical model examining whether disturbances in the ionosphere (电离层) could apply electrostatic (静电) forces deep within the Earth’s outer layer. Under certain conditions, these forces might contribute to the start of large earthquakes.
The research is not designed to predict earthquakes. Instead, it outlines a possible physical mechanism showing how shifts in ionospheric charge levels caused by intense solar activity such as solar flares — might interact with already weakened areas of the outer layer and influence how cracks develop.
In this model, cracked regions of the outer layer are thought to contain water at extremely high temperatures and pressures, possibly in a supercritical (超临界的) state. Electrically, these cracked zones may act like capacitors (电容器). They are coupled (连接) both to the Earth’s surface and to the lower ionosphere, creating a vast electrostatic system that links the ground to the upper atmosphere.
When solar activity rises quickly, the number of electrons (电子) in the ionosphere can rise significantly. This can produce a negatively charged layer in the lower ionosphere. Through electrical coupling, that charge may generate intense electric fields inside tiny spaces within cracked rock. The resulting static electric pressure could approach levels similar to tidal or gravitational stresses that are already known to influence crack line stability. According to the team’s calculations, ionospheric disturbances tied to major solar flares might create static electric pressures of several units of pressure within these tiny spaces.
Unusual ionospheric behavior has often been detected before powerful earthquakes. Traditionally, scientists have interpreted it as effects caused by stress building up inside the outer layer. This new framework offers an additional perspective. It suggests a two-way interaction in which processes inside the Earth can influence the ionosphere, while ionospheric disturbances may also send feedback forces back down into the outer layer. The model connects space weather and earthquake activity without claiming that solar activity directly causes earthquakes.
The findings indicate that tracking ionospheric conditions alongside underground measurements could improve understanding of how earthquakes begin and how earthquake risk is assessed. Future work will determine when and how ionospheric disturbances might exert meaningful static electric effects on the Earth’s outer layer.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In middle and high school, group work can quickly go off the rails. Discussions meant to deepen understanding drift off-topic or become controlled by a few voices. Instead of spreading the thinking across the group, one or two students end up doing most of the work. ____16____
But research shows these challenges aren’t necessarily related to student motivation. ____17____ Adolescents are developmentally ready to do more demanding group work. Research suggests teens are naturally willing to analyze materials, deal with complex questions, and explore messy ideas with partners.
____18____ This will help them contribute to a shared visual product. These “art-meets-content” tasks help students build shared understanding while gathering evidence, modeling processes, or representing key ideas visually. The finished products can also serve as visual anchors (锚点) for gallery walks, reviews, or formative assessment.
The jigsaw method creates shared responsibility for learning by making each student an expert on one piece of the material — reducing dominant voices in group work and ensuring all kids are engaged. ____19____ And each person receives a separate part of a lesson plan. Content could be taken from a textbook chapter, a handout, or an online resource, and should be divided into the same number of parts as there are students.
To give every student a voice in group work — especially those who hesitate to speak up — we can let students hold written conversations using sticky notes on poster paper. Instead of talking, students silently add ideas, questions, and evidence to a shared topic, forcing them to slow down their thinking and ensuring everyone participates. ____20____ We can assign colors to different types of responses using colored pens or different colored sticky notes. In other classrooms, different colors could represent claims, evidence, or clarifying questions. The goal is to create conditions for students to read carefully and respond to each other’s ideas with clear, traceable contributions.
A. Meanwhile, the others hang back.
B. Color helps structure the discussion, too.
C. It’s often the result of how group work is designed.
D. Instead, students study their own part independently.
E. In a typical jigsaw, students are divided into small groups.
F. We can assign each student a clear role to focus and equalize group work.
G. In the jigsaw system, each student receives one small part of a bigger lesson.

We keep on, either ____25____ for small talk or waiting for the other to start. When the sun shines bright, you turn to your new companion: “This is fantastic, isn’t it? I’m X, from Bangalore.” “Hi, I’m Y, from Imphal.” You offer an extra hat; she ____26____, eyes shining with joy.
____27____ fades, replaced by dialogues and laughter. You race, ____28____ each other, and find warmth in mutual support. Together, you cross glacial streams and flying rocks, watching the valleys ____29____ colors as the sun leans.
“Did we cross that ____30____ glacier?” Y asks. “We have miles to go,” you say poetically, ignoring the downhill truth. Denial ____31____ your senses until a health scare shocks you. ____32____, signs of decline appear.
“Dad, why haven’t you ____33____ the speaker?” my son asks from Germany. Once eager to build gadgets, I now fear wires and tiny print. “Stop using ____34____ as an excuse.” he urges. “You hiked the Himalayas!”
I sigh, recalling that mountain journey. As spring comes, the mountains call again. After all, life isn’t all downhill — so long as I still have an extra hat to ____35____.

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。
One heavy snow morning, sitting in the living room, Betty looked out of the window, feeling bored. She had promised to go out with her best friend, Lily. They had dreamed for a whole day of building a tall snowman with a carrot nose and an old hat, and of laughing as they threw soft white snowballs at each other. Now it was the very time!
Suddenly, Betty heard a knock at the door. She opened it, seeing an old woman standing there. The woman’s coat was thin, with her gray hair covered with snow, and her hands shook as if the wind might break them. At the sight of the stranger, so weak against the storm, a sense of sympathy rose in Betty’s heart. “Please, come in,” Betty said. As Betty helped the trembling woman inside, a flash of unease mixed with her compassion. She led the stranger to the couch and wrapped her own blanket around the woman’s shoulders. Then Betty hurried to the kitchen, returning with a steaming glass of tea sweetened with honey. The old woman cupped the glass, breathed in the rising steam, and managed a small smile. “I’m Mary. I went out to purchase bread,” she whispered, “but the snow was so heavy that it turned me around. I can’t remember the way back home.” Betty listened carefully, nodding.
Yet, the echo (回声) of Lily’s excited voice, when they were planning their snow adventures that morning, pulled sharply at her heart — Betty had promised. Lily, disappointed by the canceled outing, was likely staying at home, waiting for Betty’s call to share or perhaps initiate an outdoor plan. Betty pictured Lily’s bright face clouding again and felt a heavy sink. The trembling woman needed help now, but the unspoken promise to her friend pressed like a knot (结) inside. Doing the right thing for a stranger meant risking Lily’s trust, and what should she do?
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, a clever idea struck Betty.

Paragraph 2:
Gratefully, Mary’s daughter greeted Betty and Lily at the door.
