First and foremost, thinking independently serves as the foundation of all meaningful learning. It enables us to form our own views rather than blindly accepting others’ ideas. Next in importance is practical application. Knowledge from textbooks remains abstract and useless unless we put it into real-life use. Applying what we have learned not only helps us master the content more deeply but also lets us see its real-world value, turning theory into useful skills. Cooperative learning, while valuable, works best only when we already have basic independent thinking skills. Working with others allows us to exchange ideas and learn from different perspectives. In conclusion, these three abilities support each other, but independent thinking is the most fundamental, which paves the way for meaningful application and effective cooperation. 读后续写 Paragraph 1： To prepare for the challenge, John made a detailed training plan. He got up early every morning to run on the playground, and Jack accompanied him every time. At first, he could only run 1000 meters, and he was out of breath and wanted to stop. Jack always encouraged him to keep going, saying that every step was a progress. John listened to his friend’s advice and kept training. He gradually increased the running distance, and his physical fitness improved day by day. Sometimes he felt very tired, but he thought of his promise to challenge himself and insisted on training. Paragraph 2： The day of the challenge arrived. At the beginning, John kept up with the team, but after 2000 meters, he felt his legs were heavy and his breathing was difficult. He wanted to give up, but he saw Jack running beside him, cheering for him. He gritted his teeth and kept running, step by step. When he crossed the finish line, all the students cheered for him. Although he didn’t get a prize, John finished the race successfully. He felt very proud of himself. This experience made the boy who did poorly in physical fitness realize that as long as he had the courage to challenge himself and persist, he could overcome any difficulty and gain health and confidence. 听力材料 Text 1 W: Have you finished your homework, Mike?

We had to stand all the way.

Turning around,he saw that his apprentice )Giotto di Bondone,was doing everything he could to keep from laughing.Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. Giotto was born into a poor farming family.Legend has it that one day when Cimabue was walking around the countryside,he spotted a young shepherd (boy.The boy was not tending his sheep.Instead,he was drawing pictures of them,and the sheep he drew were so lifelike that Cimabue stopped to ask the boy his name.The boy replied that it was Giotto,and Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence so that the young shepherd could learn how to paint. In the Middle Ages,an artist not only had to concern himself with things like design and technique,but he also had to learn how to make paints.Almost all artists were men,and they began their apprenticeships at an early age.An apprentice's job was to copy his master as exactly as he could.The unfortunate result of this imitation was a lack of new ideas. In fact,art in the Middle Ages remained the same for hundreds of years.The people in paintings didn't look like real people,and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level.Giotto used many techniques that were uncommon at the time to bring the paintings to life for viewers.He painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall people that other artists painted.He created three-dimensional space by using perspective,something that had not been done since Roman times. Finally,he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting. 24.Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1? A.To show Cimabue disliked painting flies. B.To indicate Giotto drew better than Cimabue. C.To indicate Giotto liked making fun of others. D.To show Giotto had outstanding painting skills. 25.What is typical of medieval artists? A.Lacking creativity. B.Having an unhappy childhood. C.Having a short period of apprenticeship. D.Supporting themselves by making paints. 26.What do we learn about Giotto's painting style? A.He drew extremely tall human figures as other artists did. B.He kept all traditional medieval symbolic elements. C.He portrayed human beings based on real appearances. D.He only painted sheep and small animals in his works. 27.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Giotto's study on medieval painting. B.Giotto's efforts to change art in the Middle Ages. C.The most popular forms of painting in the Middle Ages. D.The competition between Giotto and other medieval artists. 第4页共10页 C By age 2,most kids know how to play pretend.They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties.The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human.Now,for the first time,an experiment hints that an ape ()living under human care can have an imagination. Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols.Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend -that is,act like something is real while knowing it's not.They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi.They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one.They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted,and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68%of the time. To make sure Kanzi wasn't confusing real with fake,they also ran a test with actual juice. "Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80%of the time,which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,"said Amalia Bastos,a study co-author from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend like humans do."There's a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it's real,"said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello."To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,"Tomasello wrote in an email. Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered,and it'll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of."Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies," Bastos said. 28.What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test? A.To read a playbook. B.To choose a certain cup. C.To pour imaginary juice. D.To identify graphic symbols. 29.Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi? A.To prove Kanzi has emotions. B.To explore Kanzi's preference for juice C.To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake. D.To train Kanzi's ability to make choices. 30.What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with? A.Kanzi may not have an imagination. B.Imagination equals pretense. C.This experiment benefits future studies. D.Kanzi represents ape intelligence. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Kanzi:A Good Ape Pretender B.The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved C.The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed D.A Pretend Juice Party:Ape Imagination Tested 第5页共10页 D "If the self or person of today,and that of tomorrow,are not the same,but only like persons,the person of today is really no more interested in what will befall(降临到…头上)the person of tomorrow,than in what will befall any other person,"Joseph Butler,a well-known philosopher wrote in 1736. The theory caught the attention of a researcher called Hal Hershfield,who suspected that a disconnection from our future selves might explain many unreasonable elements of human behaviour including our unwillingness to exercise often. To find out,Hershfield first had to find a way to measure someone's "future self continuity". He settled on a simple graphic that presented pairs of circles representing the current self,and a future self.The circles overlapped()to varying degrees,and the participants had to choose which pair described how similar and how connected they felt to a future self 10 years from now. Current Future Current Future Cufrent Future Current uture Self Self Self Self Self Self Self Self He then compared these responses to his participants'real-life behavior.Hershfield first looked at his participants'real-life savings and he found that the more the participant felt connected to their future self,the more money they had ready squirrelled away.What's more,people who score highly on the future self-continuity measure have higher moral standards than the people who struggle to identify with their future selves.

One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings. Nevertheless,emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day. We all have our own comfort foods.37 One study found that happy people seem to favour pizza,while sad people prefer ice cream and cookies.Bored people desire things like chips. Girls go for chocolate and ice cream. This brings up a curious question:38 Researchers are looking into that,too.What they're finding is that high-fat foods,like ice cream,may activate certain chemicals in the body that create a sense of contentment and fulfillment,which may make you reach for these foods again when feeling upset. 39 But for some people,emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious problems such as weight gain. Managing emotional eating means finding other ways to deal with the situations and feelings that make someone turn to food.40,stop and ask yourself,"Am I really hungry?"Are you having difficulty concentrating?If these signs point to hunger,choose something light and healthy to take the edge off until dinner. A.We're all emotional eaters to some extent. B.But when we've done a lot without realizing it C.What food can bring benefit to our physical health? D.Does no one take comfort in carrots and cabbages?
