The center is in north cornwall, in the southwest of england. The center is open all year around, but I only work here during the summer, and summer is the busiest time, so they need extra activity leaders. Then activity centers are a great idea for Young people. Most of the people who come to the centre live in towns and cities, so it's a chance to enjoy some fresh air. Our center is near the sea, so we spend most time on water activities like surfing and sAiling. We also do rock climbing and mountain biking on the mountain slopes. I think that the most important thing about the activity centers is the social side. Young people today spend so much time on computers or watching T, V, that they don't talk to each other much. In most of our activities, they have to work in teams. So it's a good opportunity, unity for them to learn about working and communicating with other people and to make new friends too. In the evenings, we get together to sing songs and play indoor games. On the last afternoon, we always have team games. Every group wants to be first, so they really try hard, and it's a lot of fun. I've been an activity leader for three years now, but this will be my last time I am finishing university next year and getting a full time job. It's sad to think that this is my last year here, but i've really enjoyed IT. hi. My name is jail. I work at an activity center for Young people.

In the heart of the Kanien’keha Nation (卡尼恩克哈部族) in Canada, McComber, a native language teacher reflected on a question raised by Maori (毛利) language advocate Sir Karetu: what was his dream for the future of his language?
Kanien’keha, the Mohawk language, is endangered, and for decades, McComber has worked hard to operate a native language school. At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.
In the early 1970s, young Maori advocates in New Zealand marched to the government, demanding Maori be taught in all public schools. In 1982, Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi established Kohanga Reo, an engaging language program where Maori was the only language taught, spoken and used both in the classroom and at home, and the courses focused on their history and culture. “Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”
Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”
The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”
24. Why did McComber turn to Karetu for help?
A. Karetu also spoke Kanien’keha. B. Karetu once faced a similar crisis.
C. He needed his financial support. D. He desired his tips on language learning.
25. What contributed to the success of Kohanga Reo?
A. Expansion of public schools. B. Flexibility of the courses.
C. Rule of the students’ parents. D. Support from the community.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The impact of the Kohanga Reo model. B. The importance of parents’ involvement.
C. The procedure for building the nest school. D. The case of a student finding his real identity.
27. By saying “It’s everything”, McComber suggests ______.
A. guaranteeing the survival of their own schools B. keeping their culture for future generations
C. purifying their unique minority language D. practicing the tradition of their ancestors
C
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.
B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃.
C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
29. What happened to the surgeon after the strike?
A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music.
30. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters. B. The cell death due to lightning strikes.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. Also, he should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamics, and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying opinions with reasons, and making collective decisions. In Exploratory Talk, participants engage critically but constructively with each other’s ideas, invite contributions, and seek further explanations.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules” for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children work towards joint conclusions, respect opinions, and develop their ideas. For instance, children learn to ask, “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resources for new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in education but also in life as well.
32. What may help solve the group work paradox?
A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students.
C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement.
33. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students?
A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality.
C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties.
B. Traditional questions should be avoided in classes.
C. Well-designed brainstorming matters in group activities.
D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Why putting children in groups doesn’t always work
B. What effects a good communicator has on discussion
C. Whether teachers should use Exploratory Talk or not
D. Where students’ participation in activities should go

Always the outsider?
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. ___36___ I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: ___37___ The only person making me feel like an outsider is me. These are the lessons I have learned along the way:

●Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). ___39___ When are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
●___40___ Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging.
A. Don’t charge into friendships, though.
B. Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
C. If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
D. No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.
E. The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.
F. Try doing something to take yourself out of your comfort zone.
G. We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not the only one.

67. 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。
Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also bring special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there would be no school on Monday — the Labour Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mum.
“It was great, Mum. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mum with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favourite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labour Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened by her dad. He told Kayla that in honour of Labour Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mum. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labour Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla, it is,” replied her mum, “but your mum and I thought hard today would make you appreciate why Labour Day was observed in the first place.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday.

【解析】
【原文】W: I’d like to welcome Barry Green, the successful concert violinist, to our studio today.
M: Hello. It’s good to be here.
W: Barry, why did you decide to be a violinist?
M: It was something I’d been desperate to do since I was about six years old. My parents weren’t musicians, but they let my brother and I do whatever we liked as hobbies, as long as it didn’t get in the way of our education. My brother’s a good footballer, but sport’s never really been my thing. I watched a concert on TV, and after that I was hooked.
W: So what did you do when you left school?
M: I thought about studying maths or physics, but then I heard about a youth band that was doing a world tour. They offered me a scholarship so I could afford to go, which was brilliant. When I got back, as I already knew what I wanted to do, it seemed pointless to delay going to music college, so that’s where I went. I’m very lucky to be able to do what I love, and to have achieved what I set out to do as a young child. Not many people get the chance to do that.

A. A college student. B. A participant in an activity center. C. An activity organizer.
18. What activity do people do most time in the center?
A. Water sports. B. Rock climbing. C. Mountain biking.

20. What do participants do on the last afternoon?
A. Watch TV. B. Sing songs together. C. Play team games.
【答案】17. A 18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Hi. My name’s Jess. I work at an activity center for young people, as an activity leader. The center is in North Cornwall in the south-west of England. The center is open all year round, but I only work here during the summer, and summer is the busiest time, so they need extra activity leaders then. Activity centers are a great idea for young people. Most of the people who come to the center live in towns and cities, so it’s a chance to enjoy some fresh air. Our center is near the sea, so we spend most time on water activities like surfing and sailing. We also do rock climbing and mountain biking on the mountain slopes. I think that the most important thing about the activity centers is the social side. Young people today spend so much time on computers or watching TV that they don’t talk to each other much. In most of our activities they have to work in teams, so it’s a good opportunity for them to learn about working and communicating with other people, and to make new friends, too. In the evenings, we get together to sing songs and play indoor games. On the last afternoon, we always have team games. Every group wants to be first, so they really try hard, and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been an activity leader for three years now, but this will be my last time. I’m finishing university next year and getting a full-time job. It’s sad to think that this is my last year here, but I’ve really enjoyed it.

In the heart of the Kanien’keha Nation (卡尼恩克哈部族) in Canada, McComber, a native language teacher reflected on a question raised by Maori (毛利) language advocate Sir Karetu: what was his dream for the future of his language?
Kanien’keha, the Mohawk language, is endangered, and for decades, McComber has worked hard to operate a native language school. At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.
In the early 1970s, young Maori advocates in New Zealand marched to the government, demanding Maori be taught in all public schools. In 1982, Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi established Kohanga Reo, an engaging language program where Maori was the only language taught, spoken and used both in the classroom and at home, and the courses focused on their history and culture. “Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”
Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”
The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”
24. Why did McComber turn to Karetu for help?
A. Karetu also spoke Kanien’keha. B. Karetu once faced a similar crisis.
C. He needed his financial support. D. He desired his tips on language learning.
25. What contributed to the success of Kohanga Reo?
A. Expansion of public schools. B. Flexibility of the courses.
C. Rule of the students’ parents. D. Support from the community.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The impact of the Kohanga Reo model. B. The importance of parents’ involvement.
C. The procedure for building the nest school. D. The case of a student finding his real identity.
27. By saying “It’s everything”, McComber suggests ______.
A. guaranteeing the survival of their own schools B. keeping their culture for future generations
C. purifying their unique minority language D. practicing the tradition of their ancestors
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了莫霍克语Kanien’ keha已经濒临灭绝,为了保护这种语言McComber寻求社会的支持和帮助,建立了Kohanga Reo模式。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.(在世纪之交,当它遇到更多的障碍时,麦康伯向世界各地寻求帮助和灵感,而卡雷图就是答案。“不要等待金钱或认可;做你该做的,”卡雷图告诉他。几十年前,当te reo Maori(毛利人的语言)也处于危险之中时,Karetu也带着同样的信息)”可知,McComber向Karetu寻求帮助是因为Karetu曾经面临过类似的危机。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”(“祖父母成了老师,”她说。“造成差异的原因是,Kohanga Reo完全由社区主导。家庭集资租用教室空间,志愿者策划并教授课程。”)”可知,来自社会的支持促成了Kohanga Reo的成功。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”(Kohanga Reo模式在英语中被翻译为“语言之巢”,迅速成为一种重要的文化输出,并激励了世界各地的其他少数民族社区。“我们的父母说了算,”麦康伯所在学校的一名学生说,“他们想教我们语言之美、文化之美,以及我们是谁。它给了我信心,让我可以轻松地用英语和卡尼亚语说话和阅读。”)”可知,第4段主要讲了Kohanga Reo模式的影响。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”(该模式帮助社区通过祖先的眼睛看世界,确保了他们的生活方式的生存。“这不仅仅是语言的问题,”McComber现在可以回答这个问题。“这一切。”)”可知,通过说“这就是一切”,McComber建议为后代保留他们的文化。故选B。
C
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.
B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃.
C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
29. What happened to the surgeon after the strike?
A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music.
30. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters. B. The cell death due to lightning strikes.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.(血管因电击和高温而爆炸,通常会在你的皮肤上形成一种叫做利希滕贝格的形状。这是一种疤痕模式,像树一样在你的身体上分支。)”可知,被闪电袭击后,皮肤上出现树枝状疤痕是很典型的情况。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.( Brogaard说,一种理论是,被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥,这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。这会导致神经元的重新连接,从而进入以前无法进入的大脑区域。)”可知,这位外科医生被闪电击中后,他未探索的大脑区域被激活了。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段划线词This前文的内容“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元).(Brogaard说,一种理论是,被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥,这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。)”可知,This此处是代词,指代上文提到的a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质),即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.(在天空的某个地方,闪电正在形成。虽然在你的一生中被击中的可能性大约是1/12000,但人类确实为闪电提供了一个有吸引力的目标。如果你发现自己处于闪电的路径上,你应该这样想。)”和最后一段“Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.(尽管这很酷,但你不应该指望闪电会在一瞬间把你变成天才。它的大部分结果都是痛苦的,可能会伴随你一生。)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。故选B。
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. Also, he should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamics, and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying opinions with reasons, and making collective decisions. In Exploratory Talk, participants engage critically but constructively with each other’s ideas, invite contributions, and seek further explanations.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules” for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children work towards joint conclusions, respect opinions, and develop their ideas. For instance, children learn to ask, “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resources for new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in education but also in life as well.
32. What may help solve the group work paradox?
A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是小组工作悖论,以及教室如何来解决这一悖论,让小组学习变得有效。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk.(为了确保有效的小组工作,教师必须首先提高学生对小组活动的目的和价值的认识。更重要的是,他们需要教学生如何进行理性的讨论,也就是所谓的探索性谈话)”可知,教师的有效指导可以帮助解决小组工作悖论。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules” for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children work towards joint conclusions, respect opinions, and develop their ideas.(成功的合作需要理性的讨论,这可以通过建立一套探索性谈话的“基本规则”来促进。这些规则指导诸如询问信息、寻找并提供理由以及评估建议等行为。基本规则帮助孩子们得出共同的结论,尊重意见,并发展他们的想法)”可知,为学生制定基本规则是为了在谈话中鼓励推理。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others.(探索性谈话作为一种强大的学习工具,加强了小组活动。某些活动,如“谈话要点”,在激发此类讨论方面特别有效。谈话要点是鼓舞人心的陈述,旨在鼓励孩子们分享他们对特定主题的知识和不确定性。研究表明,谈话要点比传统问题能带来更有想象力和更广泛的回答。它们帮助孩子专注于主题,并将自己的观点与他人的观点进行比较)”可知,精心设计的头脑风暴在小组活动中很重要。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive.(对课堂小组作业的研究揭示了一个悖论:虽然合作学习可以非常有效,但仅仅将孩子们分组往往被证明是无效的)”结合文章主要解释了什么是小组工作悖论,以及教室如何来解决这一悖论,让小组学习变得有效。由此可知,A选项“为什么把孩子分组并不总是有效”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Always the outsider?
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. ___36___ I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: ___37___ The only person making me feel like an outsider is me. These are the lessons I have learned along the way:
●Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. ___38___ It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.
●Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). ___39___ When are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
●___40___ Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging.
A. Don’t charge into friendships, though.
B. Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
C. If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
D. No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.
E. The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.
F. Try doing something to take yourself out of your comfort zone.
G. We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not the only one.

67. 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。
Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also bring special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there would be no school on Monday — the Labour Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class.
An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla?” asked her mum.
“It was great, Mum. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mum with a laugh.
Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favourite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labour Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened by her dad. He told Kayla that in honour of Labour Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday, a day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mum. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labour Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla, it is,” replied her mum, “but your mum and I thought hard today would make you appreciate why Labour Day was observed in the first place.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But things began to change as she was doing the housework.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
At first, Kayla felt sad at her parents’ plan for the holiday. She dragged her feet as she grabbed a broom, grumbling under her breath about “wasting the extra day.” Wiping the dusty windows made her arms ache, and sweeping the wet leaves in the yard left her shoes muddy — none of this felt like a holiday at all. She kept checking the clock, counting down the minutes until she could sneak back to her room.
But things began to change as she was doing the housework. When she finished scrubbing the kitchen counter, her mum smiled and pointed out how bright the room looked; when she helped her dad fix the wobbly fence, he high-fived her and said the yard felt “brand new.” By evening, Kayla sat on the clean porch, sipping lemonade with her parents, and realized the tiredness faded into a warm pride — this kind of fun, from working and making the home nicer, felt more special than any video game or basketball game.
