①Among all the pen productions, the writing brush (毛笔) is a kind of special writing tool mainly made in China.
②Archaeologists (考古学家) said that the writing brush appeared more than 5,000 years ago. Hengshui, Xuancheng and Huzhou were three centers for making writing brushes in Chinese history. People in the hometown of the writing brush—Hengshui—still celebrate the invention of the brush every year.
③A writing brush can be divided into two parts: the head and the stalk (笔杆). Materials for the head part include rabbit hair, horse hair and so on.

What is your school life like? Can you keep a balance (平衡) between your schoolwork and activities? If you have any problems, who do you want to talk with? Maybe you would not like to share them with teachers or close friends. Then a youth coach (教练) might be a good choice.
A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you. He or she can also help you learn how to deal with stress.
Simon Waltz started a youth coaching company (公司) five years ago. “I offer teenagers a place to talk. I help them find out problems, and then we work them out together,” said Waltz. John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all. Waltz helped him decide on his future plan. Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork and hopes to get into a top university and be a great doctor in the future.
Not only John but also other teenagers gained (受益) from the youth coach. Orella is among them. She said, “I’m thankful to my coach Bella Miranda. Her advice is always helpful. I’m really happy to have her by my side at the difficult moments.” Orella was afraid of talking with people and she didn’t know how to get on well with her classmates. Bella talked with Orella about the things she really enjoyed. Because Orella liked music, Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends. She also shared interesting trips with her classmates. With Bella’s encouragement, Orella has kept a good relationship with them.
It is not surprising that you get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is hard for you to solve it. Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success.

四、读写结合 (共两节,满分25分)
第一节 任务型阅读
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? Do you rush from one subject to another at school? When this happens, it’s easy to get lost in learning. That’s why it’s important to stop and reflect. Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself. By doing so, you give your brain a chance to process what it has already received.
There are different ways to practice self-reflection. Some people choose to keep a diary or take notes. Knowing when to reflect is also necessary. For example, school textbooks are divided into units. You know a unit is over when you have a test. These natural breaks are a good time to stop and do self-reflection.
Once you find a good time, you can follow 4 steps to do self-reflection. Find a quiet place. You can do this even at your desk if you finish early. Take out your reflection diary or a piece of paper to write down what you’ve learned. Then, think about these notes and connect them with what you already know. Finally, make a list of any remaining questions. For example, if you’ve learned a new math way but aren’t sure how to use it, writing this question down will help you find the answer later.
Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

【导语】本文主要介绍了中国特有的书写工具——毛笔。文章涵盖了毛笔的历史起源与产地、结构材质(笔头和笔杆)、在书法及中国文化中的重要地位,以及练习书法对修身养性的益处。
【21题详解】
第二段明确指出:“People in the hometown of the writing brush—Hengshui—still celebrate the invention of the brush every year.”,说明毛笔的故乡是衡水(Hengshui)。
【22题详解】
第三段第一句指出:“A writing brush can be divided into two parts: the head and the stalk.”,随后分别介绍了笔头(head)和笔杆(stalk)的制作材料。因此,该段主要讲的是毛笔的头和杆由不同的材料制成。A、B、C项都只涉及了部分细节,D项概括最全面。
【23题详解】
第四段中提到:“Good calligraphy was a necessary skill in ancient China. Children had to learn calligraphy... Even the emperors were good at it.”,提及皇帝擅长书法是为了佐证在古代中国,人们非常重视书法,它是一项必备技能。
【24题详解】
第四段后半部分提到“When writing, people will forget all worries and turn all thoughts into the beauty of art. This helps improve their temper (脾气).”,练习书法可以让人忘记烦恼,将思想转化为艺术之美,并有助于改善脾气(improve their temper)。这些都是积极、有益的影响,因此“beneficial”意为“有益的、有帮助的”,即“Helpful”。
【25题详解】
文章结构分析:第①段:引入话题,介绍毛笔是中国特有的书写工具。第②段:介绍毛笔的历史和产地。第③段:介绍毛笔的结构和材质。第④段:介绍毛笔在书法中的地位及练习书法的好处。第⑤段:总结全文,升华主题,指出毛笔不仅是工具,更是文化和情感的载体。其中,②③④段分别从历史、构造、文化功能三个不同角度详细阐述毛笔的特点,属于并列关系,共同支撑第①段的引入,最后由第⑤段总结。因此结构为:①/②③④/⑤。

What is your school life like? Can you keep a balance (平衡) between your schoolwork and activities? If you have any problems, who do you want to talk with? Maybe you would not like to share them with teachers or close friends. Then a youth coach (教练) might be a good choice.
A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you. He or she can also help you learn how to deal with stress.
Simon Waltz started a youth coaching company (公司) five years ago. “I offer teenagers a place to talk. I help them find out problems, and then we work them out together,” said Waltz. John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all. Waltz helped him decide on his future plan. Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork and hopes to get into a top university and be a great doctor in the future.
Not only John but also other teenagers gained (受益) from the youth coach. Orella is among them. She said, “I’m thankful to my coach Bella Miranda. Her advice is always helpful. I’m really happy to have her by my side at the difficult moments.” Orella was afraid of talking with people and she didn’t know how to get on well with her classmates. Bella talked with Orella about the things she really enjoyed. Because Orella liked music, Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends. She also shared interesting trips with her classmates. With Bella’s encouragement, Orella has kept a good relationship with them.
It is not surprising that you get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is hard for you to solve it. Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success.
26. Why does the writer ask the questions in Paragraph 1?
A. To ask for direction. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To compare different ideas. D. To tell a personal story.
27. What can a youth coach do for teenagers?
①Guide teenagers
②Help teenagers develop life skills
③Solve the problems together with teenagers
④Share teenagers’ problems with their family members
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
28. What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A. John is always interested in study.
B. Waltz made a future plan instead of John.
C. Waltz’s guidance helped John become serious about his schoolwork.
D. Waltz finally helped John to achieve his dream of being a doctor.
29. How did the youth coach help Orella?
A. By teaching her how to play the violin very well.
B. By helping her with her school subjects directly.
C. By encouraging her to join in activities she liked.
D. By talking with her classmates about her problems.
30. Why does the writer write the passage?

C. To advise teenagers to become a youth coach in the future.
D. To encourage teenagers to ask a youth coach for help.
【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“青年教练”(youth coach)这一角色,他们通过提供指导、帮助青少年发展生活技能和应对压力来协助青少年解决学习和生活中的问题。文章通过John和Orella两个具体案例,展示了青年教练如何帮助青少年改变态度、改善人际关系并取得进步,最后建议青少年在遇到困难时可以寻求青年教练的帮助。
【26题详解】
文章第一段通过提问“学校生活如何?”、“能否平衡学业与活动?”、“有问题找谁倾诉?”等,引出如果不愿向老师或朋友倾诉,可以考虑“青年教练”。这种开头方式旨在引入文章的主题(youth coach)。
【27题详解】
根据第二段“A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you.”以及第三段“we work them out together”,可知青年教练的作用包括:①提供指导;②帮助发展生活技能;③与青少年共同解决问题。文中并未提及④将问题分享给家人,这通常涉及隐私保护,且不符合教练独立工作的描述。因此选①②③。
【28题详解】
第三段提到:“John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all... Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork...”,说明是Waltz的指导帮助John变得认真对待学业。A项错误,他以前不关心;B项错误,是帮助他制定计划(helped him decide),而不是替他制定;D项错误,文中说他希望成为医生,这是未来的目标,尚未实现。
【29题详解】
第四段提到:“Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends.”,说明教练是通过鼓励Orella参加她喜欢的活动(音乐/小提琴俱乐部)来帮助她融入集体、结交朋友的。
【30题详解】
文章最后一段总结道:“Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success.”,表明作者的写作目的是鼓励青少年在遇到问题时寻求青年教练的帮助。

第一节 任务型阅读
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? Do you rush from one subject to another at school? When this happens, it’s easy to get lost in learning. That’s why it’s important to stop and reflect. Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself. By doing so, you give your brain a chance to process what it has already received.
There are different ways to practice self-reflection. Some people choose to keep a diary or take notes. Knowing when to reflect is also necessary. For example, school textbooks are divided into units. You know a unit is over when you have a test. These natural breaks are a good time to stop and do self-reflection.
Once you find a good time, you can follow 4 steps to do self-reflection. Find a quiet place. You can do this even at your desk if you finish early. Take out your reflection diary or a piece of paper to write down what you’ve learned. Then, think about these notes and connect them with what you already know. Finally, make a list of any remaining questions. For example, if you’ve learned a new math way but aren’t sure how to use it, writing this question down will help you find the answer later.
Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
