When I reflect on my years in high school,one particular figure stands out like a lighthouse in
the fog of conventional classrooms:Mr.Wesley Hart.
For most of us,the bell schedule determined the rhythm of our days.First period was math,
where we would quietly solve problems from a textbook.Then,we'd drag ourselves to history class,
where mindless memorization left us battling to keep our eyes open.Next was science,where we
mechanically followed laboratory procedures.This cycle repeated itself,class after class,day after
day.
Until,that is,we reached Mr.Hart's literature class.His classroom didn't have the boring rows
of desks facing a chalkboard;instead,it had mismatched sofas.Mr.Hart believed that the physical
environment of a classroom could "liberate the mind"-a phrase he often said with such
conviction that we couldn't help but believe he must be right.
One of Mr.Hart's most memorable teaching moments occurred when we were studying Moby
Dick.Rather than assigning an essay,he took us on a nighttime adventure.We met at the school's
sports field where he handed each of us a passage from the book.The evening air was thick with
anticipation and the smell of the grass as we gathered in a circle.
"In the spirit of sailors in Moby Dick,we will share our thoughts under the stars,"he
announced.He then inspired us to read our passages aloud and relate them to modern-day situations
and personal experiences.In the quiet of the night,I found the themes far more meaningful in that
starlit,open-air classroom.
Perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned from Mr.Hart wasn't about literature.It was that
learning is a voyage,where curiosity and passion are the sails driving us forward.Mr.Hart taught us
to question,to wonder,and to see the world as an endless storybook filled with lessons waiting to be
discovered.
24.What does the bell schedule in paragraph 2 show?
A.The depth of textbooks.
B.The diversity of high school life.
C.The importance of study
D.The boredom of conventional classes.
25.What does the underlined word"conviction"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Concern.
B.Certainty.
C.Doubt.
D.Interest.
26.Why does the author mention Mr.Hart's teaching moment?
A.To reveal the theme of Moby Dick.
B.To recall Mr.Hart's nighttime adventure.
C.To stress the status of Moby Dick.
D.To highlight Mr.Hart's creative teaching.
27.Which of the following best describes Mr.Hart?
A.Curious and brave.
B.Tolerant and helpful.
C.Creative and inspiring.
D.Ambitious and determined.

Creativity scholars are often asked whether everyone is creative.Not everyone is creative in
the sense of having developed new products that enrich our lives.However,everyone might be able
to build their creative potential.
Creative potential is best described as the combination of the capacity for creative thinking and
the drive for creativity.Creative thinking is called for when we are facing open-ended problems
which cannot be addressed by following a precise step-by-step process.The drive for creativity is
based on our confidence that we can be creative.
It is a common belief that schools kill creativity.Research shows that this belief is not
supported by evidence.On the contrary,creative thinking abilities tend to grow as students progress
through school.
Why does the capacity to think creatively increase with schooling,although schools do not
teach creative thinking explicitly ()This is due to the nature of creative thinking itself.New
ideas are built from knowledge and experience,often by applying them in new ways.A student who
takes a machining class might be more likely to think of unusual uses for a can,such as turning it
into an organizer for different tools.Similarly,a theater class might inspire ideas how a can might
be turned into a tool to make sound effects.
Developing the drive for creativity is largely about implicit (learning.Scientists have
shown that creative confidence is boosted when others,especially those in authority,such as
teachers or leaders,expect us to be creative and encourage us.It is as if we think,"Well,they think I
can,therefore I should be able to."We are not aware of these influences,but they are real
nevertheless.
If you aim to build creative potential,start small.Next,aim for multiple ideas.Finally,
understand that creative potential is not fixed.It grows as we expand what we know and how we see
ourselves and creativity.By building potential,we create the foundation from which what we could
do can be transformed into what we actually do
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Steps of building creativity.
B.The pursuit of being creative.
C.Effects of creative thinking.
D.The definition of creative potential.
29.How does the author prove that creativity increases with schooling?
A.By giving examples.
B.By citing a study.
C.By providing statistics.
D.By quoting an expert.
30.What can be inferred about the drive for creativity?
A.It relies on those in authority.
B.We know where it comes from.
C.It grows as we are encouraged.
D.We have high expectations for it.
31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To illustrate that not everyone is creative
B.To explain how to build creative potential.
C.To prove that schools do not kill creativity.
D.To show how to boost creative confidence.

Each year an estimated one billion birds die from crashing into windows,and countless more
exhaust themselves trying to make their way through artificially lit spaces.It's a crisis for migratory
species that are already facing sharp population declines because of climate change,habitat loss and
pesticide(杀虫剂)exposure.
Migratory birds often move at night,when they find their way using specialized cells that
can sense Earth's magnetic field (and take visual clues from the faint light of the moon and
stars.Artificial lights disturb this carefully tuned internal compass,throwing birds off their path and
even trapping them in bright light.
"Unlike a lot of these huge sources of deaths-like changing climates-that individuals
can't influence as much as we'd like to,we can truly help with the overnight lighting problem,"says
S.K.Winnicki,an evolutionary ecologist.
The number of migratory birds overhead varies according to weather conditions and the
location along the flyway.But generally,the number of migratory birds reaches its peak between
two and four hours after sunset in the spring and fall.During these times,the easiest way to help
birds is to turn off unneeded lights at night and to close curtains or blinds.For birds that don't make
it out of cities before the end of the night,one of the biggest dangers is crashing into glass while
looking for a green space to rest.
To help migratory birds in the daytime,experts suggest adding markers that will make the glass
more visible to fast-moving birds.These markers could be as simple as a pattern of dots on the
outside of the window or as complex as UV coatings(紫外徐层)that birds can see but humans
can't.
"It's tough to be a bird,"says Dustin Partridge,senior director at the nonprofit NYC Bird
Alliance."We've built up cities in their path,and this presents risks,but those issues are things that
can be easily fixed.”
32.What can be learnt about migratory birds from the first two paragraphs?
A.They hit windows after a long flight
B.They have trouble finding enough food.
C.They rely on artificial light to make their way.
D.They get lost due to a disturbed internal system.
33.What do Winnicki's words imply?
A.Migratory birds are dying out.
B.Climate change takes a good turn
C.Ordinary people can do their part.
D.Nighttime lighting is beyond control.
34.What is experts'suggestion for helping migratory birds during the day?
A.Keep lights off.
B.Close curtains or blinds.
C.Offer green space.
D.Add markers to glass.
35.What can be a suitable title of the text?
A.Negative effects of artificial light.
B.How darkness might save migratory birds
C.Different crises for migratory birds.
D.How migratory birds would move at night.

The Consequences of Having No Consequences
As a youth football coach,I have watched players develop in real time through both successes
and failures.Yet one season stands out.During that season,a talented group faced no punishments
for missed practices or low effort.As a result,attendance dropped and performance declined.When
the season ended with early losses,the players expressed shock and blame.36
In my coaching,I apply natural consequences.Players who skip physical training sit out the
next session.No exceptions.No second chances.The result has been obvious.37
Young
athletes learn that preparation determines performance.
38 When schools remove failing grades or reduce homework standards,students
lose the link between effort and outcome.But consequences make it clear that effort produces
results.A missed deadline receives a zero.An incomplete assignment requires revision during
personal time.Students learn time management and responsibility as these habits transfer to
professional life.
Actually,consequences are not punishments and they are teachers revealing the connection
between choices and results.They prepare people for real life.Parents who allow natural outcomes
raise responsible adults.39 Coaches who apply consequences develop tough athletes.
Therefore,allow consequences to do their work.The result is that individuals will possess
internal strength.That strength benefits families,workplaces,and communities.40
The
path forward requires courage from adults to step back and let consequences teach.The payoff is
well worth it.
A.Classrooms follow the same principle.
B.Attendance improves and effort increases.
C.The absence of consequences extends into adulthood.
D.It creates a society grounded in personal responsibility.
E.They had never learned that actions carry consequences.
F.Educators who enforce standards prepare capable graduates.
G.Consequences are most effective when introduced gradually.

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。
As a child with a deep love for reading,I was on the hunt for another book in my family's
apartment in Xiamen,China.One particularly beautiful cover caught my eye,on which the golden
Chinese characters read Pride and Prejudice.As I read,I felt transported to another world.I had
never felt so close to the characters in a book.
That was me,a bookworm,before we moved to the United States.I had been outgoing in
China,but I felt lonely here.When the teachers spoke to me,their efforts to help me understand
through body language embarrassed me.What embarrassed me more was my accent,so I seldom
talked with the kids in my class.I began to dislike school.And though I had always loved books,I
hated reading in English.
My 5th grade English teacher,Ms.Thomas,gave me books she thought were well-suited for an
English Language Learner.However,they were picture books with basically no plot,which bored
me to death.
One afternoon,Ms.Thomas asked for another short meeting to discuss my reading progress.
"Chelsea,I know you love to read,so you must have found those childish books I had given you
very boring."Ms.Thomas said.I nodded in reply."I think it's time for you to start reading more
complicated books.I picked out some classics for you.Would you like to see if you are interested in
any of them?"she asked pleasantly.
As I turned the pages,I found these thick novels filled with words that I didn't recognize.I was
about to tell Ms.Thomas that I didn't like any of them when a copy of Pride and Prejudice caught
my eye,just as it had in China.I immediately pulled it out and scanned through it.
"Chelsea,are you sure you would like to read it?"Ms.Thomas asked."It might be too
challenging for your reading level!""I am willing to challenge myself,"I replied."I will try to read
it,even if I need to use the dictionary to understand it."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I read the book in English slowly,determined to finish it.
I used my newfound confidence to make friends in school.
