McQuade began caring for the elderly when she was a child. After chores (家务) were done, she would help elderly neighbours with her grandmother, often taking along food and gifts. These experiences and her close relationship with her grandmother planted the seeds for a lifetime of helping the elderly. When McQuade grew up, she became a housewife. She took care of her kids and had many grandchildren. She believed that spending time with elderly loved ones was very important and wanted to create a holiday where families could enjoy themselves together. In the early 1970s, she started her journey to make the holiday a reality. She kept calling and writing letters to the local and state leaders until she finally got attention in 1973 from Senator Jennings Randolph. He introduced to the Senate (参议院) the idea of making Grandparents Day a national holiday. His plan fell through in the Senate, but McQuade didn’t get discouraged. After years of efforts, her hard work paid off. On August 3rd, 1978, the president officially made Grandparents Day a national holiday. He also stated how important it was to honour grandparents and understand the value of family. Although Grandparents Day began in the US, it is now celebrated in many other countries. In Germany, Grandparents Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in October. In Mexico, it is on August 28th, when children often prepare a special meal for their grandparents or give gifts to them. 11. When is Grandparents Day in the US? A. B. C. D. 12. Which experience made McQuade want to help old people all her life? A. Preparing meals for her grandma. B. Being raised by her grandparents. C. Going to small family parties often. D. Spending time with elderly neighbours as a kid. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Grandparents Day was allowed to be celebrated. B. Making Grandparents Day a national holiday failed. C. The Senate delayed the decision on Grandparents Day. D. Jennings Randolph passed away from working too hard. 14. What can we infer about Grandparents Day today? A. Its original meaning has changed. B. Its influence has gone beyond the US. C. Other countries value it more than the US. D. Other countries celebrate it at the same time as the US. 15. Which of the following can best describe Marian McQuade? A. Kind and persistent. B. Brave and intelligent. C. Careful and imaginative. D. Strict and independent. B Many people may throw away the nuts (果核) after eating fruits, but artists of nut carving (核雕) have instead collected them and turned them into artworks. “One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters, can be made into beautiful earrings and other artworks,” said Tan Wanhui, the top artist of Weifang nut carving. The history of nut carving might start from the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912). During that time, Wang Dayan, the best artist in the Palace Museum, spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province. Because of the difficult carving skills required and its rich artistic meanings, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. “It’s hard to bring this kind of traditional art to life,” said Tan, the 48-year-old artist. “Every nut looks different before being carved,” Tan added. Artists have to study each nut to carefully plan out their artwork. Besides, according to Tan, they have to learn about some skills in painting and handwriting art from many traditional cultures. “In order to show folk stories from ancient times, I need to read many books to enrich myself.” “Artists in the past have been wise enough to turn common things into objects of beauty. In recent years, thanks to the creative ideas of artists in Weifang, nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China”, Tan said. “This popularity, in turn, has also attracted many young people to learn the traditional skills of nut carving, create new skills and even help to pass down the skills to future artists. ” 16. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By using an artist’s word. B. By explaining what nut carving is. C. By describing its historical origin. D. By comparing different uses of nuts. 17. Why was Weifang nut carving listed as a national intangible cultural heritage? ①The traditional cultural values. ②Its rich artistic meanings.③The high level of carving skills. ④The popularity around the world. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①②③ D. ①③④ 18. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Nut carving requires natural talent for drawing. B. Nut carving artists must copy traditional designs. C. Artists use nuts of the same size to make nut carving. D. Nut carving artists should learn different traditional skills 19. What is the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ 20. What will the writer talk about next? A. A traditional folk story. B. The history of nut carving. C. The development of nut carving. D. The disappearance of nut carving. C Over the past 100 years, an important idea has become popular in education. Before, people thought intelligence was inborn. But now, we know that intelligence can change with the right training. In the 19th century, psychologist Alfred Binet, who made the first intelligence tests, believed intelligence was fixed and tried to measure it. However, in the early 20th century, thinkers like John Dewey said every child’s intelligence could grow with a good environment. Dweck’s famous experiment divided 10 to 12-year-olds into two groups. One group was praised for being smart, while the other for working hard. The “effort-praised” group tried harder on later tasks, while the “smart-praised” group avoided challenges to protect their self-image. This showed that praising effort, not talent, helps students improve. However, schools often have difficulty in using growth mindset (思维模式) ideas effectively. Many focus too much on test scores and rankings, which actually encourage a “fixed mindset.”. Some schools even create contradictions (矛盾) by talking about growth mindset while giving fixed grades based on performance. Critics point out problems with growth mindset research. Studies trying to repeat Dweck’s experiments often fail. Psychologist Timothy Bates found that students with growth mindsets didn’t get better grades. Statistician (统计学家) Andrew Gelman questioned whether the research truly proved the theory. Recent studies show growth mindset programs rarely improve grades. Posters and motivational speeches often fail. Instead, teaching practical skills (like writing essay introductions) and praising effort works better. True confidence comes from real achievements, not empty praise. Perhaps growth mindset works better as a teaching philosophy than a classroom tool. 21. What did Alfred Binet believe about intelligence? A. Intelligence was based on a person’s effort. B. Intelligence was something fixed and could be measured. C. Intelligence could be developed with the right environment. D. Every child’s intelligence was different and unchangeable. 22. In Carol Dweck’s experiment, what happened to the group praised for intelligence? A. They were more likely to work hard on future tasks. B. They took on more difficult tasks to prove their ability. C. They avoided tasks that might cause them to fail. D. They changed their mindset after the experiment. 23. How is Paragraph 3 developed? A. By stating a problem and explaining its causes. B. By comparing school’s past and present methods. C. By giving personal stories on fixed grades. D. By listing research steps to implement a growth mindset. 24. What might the author agree with? A. Motivational posters are the best way to teach. B. Fixed grades help students develop a growth mindset. C. Dweck’s experiments perfectly prove her theory. D. Teaching real skills is better than empty praise. 25. Which is the best title for the article? A. The History of Intelligence Tests B. Why Fixed Mindset Fails in Schools C. Growth Mindset: Hopes and Realities D. How to Praise Students Correctly 第二节 短文填空 Self-confidence is the key to success. It means believing in ourselves and knowing that we have value. ____26____ That’s why confident people would like to speak up, try new things, and learn from mistakes. How can we build self-confidence? ____27____ We can build it by recognizing our strengths and celebrating our progress, even the small steps.

B 3. C 4. A 5. D 6. A 7. C 8. B 9. D 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述喜马拉雅山女孩Anita失去腿后，在父亲鼓励下安装木腿，坚持练习五年，最终登上山顶的励志故事。 【1题详解】 句意：有一天，Anita发现很多游客参观她的村庄。 根据下文“people from all over the world”（来自世界各地的人）可知，这些人是来参观的“游客”（tourists）。friends“朋友”：不会有大批世界各地友人进村；villagers“村民”：本身就是本村人，不需要visit（拜访）；customers“顾客”：用于商铺消费场景，不适用进山拜访村庄。 【2题详解】 句意：看着来自世界各地的人参观她的村庄使她感到好奇。 根据下文她问父亲“What are these people doing here”（这些人在这里做什么）可知，她对此感到“好奇”（curious）。angry“生气”：无负面情节，情绪不符；surprised“惊讶”：侧重意外吃惊，后文是主动提问探寻缘由，好奇更贴合；sad“难过”：完全无悲伤语境。 【3题详解】 句意：总有一天，我也会到达这些山的山顶！ 根据上文父亲说的“highest of the mountain”（山的最高处）可知，Anita也想到达“山顶”（top）。其他选项均和highest“最高处”语义不符。 【4题详解】 句意：Anita兴奋地说，眼中燃烧着梦想。 根据句中“with a burning dream in her eyes”（眼中燃烧着梦想）及坚定语气可知，体现小女孩满怀憧憬、激动（excitedly）的心情。happily“开心”：侧重愉悦，缺少初次立下志向的激动感；confidently“自信”：此时她只是萌生想法，还没有底气十足的自信，该表述过早；seriously“严肃”：不符合少女怀揣梦想的神态。 【5题详解】 句意：“我永远无法准备好爬那些山，”Anita哭喊道。 根据上文“Clouds of sadness covered her happy world”（悲伤的乌云笼罩了她的幸福世界）可知，因截肢丧失爬山希望，情绪崩溃落泪哭诉（cried）。said“普通的说”：体现不出悲痛情绪；answered“回答”：前文没有别人提问，不存在回答，语法语境错误；shouted“大喊大叫”：句意表现的是低落绝望，不是暴怒嘶吼。 【6题详解】 句意：虽然他很沮丧，但他没有灰心。 根据上文女儿失去腿且很痛苦，父亲虽然难过“沮丧”（upset），但转折后说没有灰心，符合逻辑。calm“冷静”：后半句but did not lose heart（但没有失去信心），说明前半句是情绪低落，冷静逻辑冲突；ashamed“羞愧”：父亲没有做错任何事，不存在羞愧；brave“勇敢”：用来形容人品格，不能用来形容当下看到女儿受伤的心情。 【7题详解】 句意：他给她做了一条木腿，她可以戴着走路。 根据下文“She wore the wooden leg”（她戴着木腿）原词复现可知，是“木制的”（wooden）腿。 【8题详解】 句意：开始爬山吧，”父亲说。 根据父亲鼓励女儿不要放弃的语境，应该是鼓励她“开始”（Start）行动。Stop“停止”：和鼓励女儿追梦完全相反；Enjoy“享受”：后文女儿才刚刚开始练习走路，还谈不上享受登山；Avoid“避开”：语义相悖。 【9题详解】 句意：站起来，试着跑，又摔倒了。 前半句walked, and fell（走路然后摔倒），and again表示“重复相同动作”：站起来尝试跑，再一次摔倒（fell）。其他选项均无法和前文fell摔倒形成递进重复。 【10题详解】 句意：全村人都嘲笑这对父女的愚蠢。 根据宾语“foolishness”（愚蠢）可知，村民们觉得他们可笑而“嘲笑”（laughed at）他们。worried about“担忧”：没有体现担心的情节；talked about“谈论”：程度太弱，体现不出旁人不看好、讥讽的态度；looked at“看着”：单纯观看，无情感倾向。 II. 阅读理解 (40 分) A Grandparents Day, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labour Day (first Monday in September) in the US, did not start for business reasons but because of a determined woman, Marian McQuade. McQuade began caring for the elderly when she was a child. After chores (家务) were done, she would help elderly neighbours with her grandmother, often taking along food and gifts. These experiences and her close relationship with her grandmother planted the seeds for a lifetime of helping the elderly. When McQuade grew up, she became a housewife. She took care of her kids and had many grandchildren. She believed that spending time with elderly loved ones was very important and wanted to create a holiday where families could enjoy themselves together. In the early 1970s, she started her journey to make the holiday a reality. She kept calling and writing letters to the local and state leaders until she finally got attention in 1973 from Senator Jennings Randolph. He introduced to the Senate (参议院) the idea of making Grandparents Day a national holiday. His plan fell through in the Senate, but McQuade didn’t get discouraged. After years of efforts, her hard work paid off. On August 3rd, 1978, the president officially made Grandparents Day a national holiday. He also stated how important it was to honour grandparents and understand the value of family. Although Grandparents Day began in the US, it is now celebrated in many other countries. In Germany, Grandparents Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in October. In Mexico, it is on August 28th, when children often prepare a special meal for their grandparents or give gifts to them. 11. When is Grandparents Day in the US? A. B. C. D. 12. Which experience made McQuade want to help old people all her life? A. Preparing meals for her grandma. B. Being raised by her grandparents. C. Going to small family parties often. D. Spending time with elderly neighbours as a kid. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. Grandparents Day was allowed to be celebrated. B. Making Grandparents Day a national holiday failed. C. The Senate delayed the decision on Grandparents Day. D. Jennings Randolph passed away from working too hard. 14. What can we infer about Grandparents Day today? A. Its original meaning has changed. B. Its influence has gone beyond the US. C. Other countries value it more than the US. D. Other countries celebrate it at the same time as the US. 15. Which of the following can best describe Marian McQuade? A. Kind and persistent. B. Brave and intelligent. C. Careful and imaginative. D. Strict and independent. 【答案】11. C 12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Marian McQuade通过多年努力，成功推动美国将祖父母节设为法定节日的历程，以及该节日如今在世界多国的传播。 【11题详解】 文章第一段指出“Grandparents Day, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labour Day (first Monday in September) in the US”，今年劳动节为9月第一个周一，之后的第一个周日即为祖父母节。说明正确日期为9月的第二个周日，即图C。 【12题详解】 文章第二段指出“These experiences and her close relationship with her grandmother planted the seeds for a lifetime of helping the elderly.”，小时候与祖母一起帮助老年邻居的经历让她决定一生帮助老人。 【13题详解】 文章第四段指出“His plan fell through in the Senate”，结合前文“introduced to the Senate the idea of making Grandparents Day a national holiday”以及后文“didn’t get discouraged”，可以推断该计划未能在参议院通过。 【14题详解】 文章最后一段指出“Although Grandparents Day began in the US, it is now celebrated in many other countries.”，说明其影响力已超越美国。 【15题详解】 McQuade从小帮助老人，成年后为设立祖父母节多年坚持写信呼吁，最终成功。由此推断，她是一个善良且坚持不懈的人。 B Many people may throw away the nuts (果核) after eating fruits, but artists of nut carving (核雕) have instead collected them and turned them into artworks. “One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters, can be made into beautiful earrings and other artworks,” said Tan Wanhui, the top artist of Weifang nut carving. The history of nut carving might start from the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912). During that time, Wang Dayan, the best artist in the Palace Museum, spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province. Because of the difficult carving skills required and its rich artistic meanings, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. “It’s hard to bring this kind of traditional art to life,” said Tan, the 48-year-old artist. “Every nut looks different before being carved,” Tan added. Artists have to study each nut to carefully plan out their artwork. Besides, according to Tan, they have to learn about some skills in painting and handwriting art from many traditional cultures. “In order to show folk stories from ancient times, I need to read many books to enrich myself.” “Artists in the past have been wise enough to turn common things into objects of beauty. In recent years, thanks to the creative ideas of artists in Weifang, nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China”, Tan said. “This popularity, in turn, has also attracted many young people to learn the traditional skills of nut carving, create new skills and even help to pass down the skills to future artists. ” 16. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By using an artist’s word. B. By explaining what nut carving is. C. By describing its historical origin. D. By comparing different uses of nuts. 17. Why was Weifang nut carving listed as a national intangible cultural heritage? ①The traditional cultural values. ②Its rich artistic meanings.③The high level of carving skills. ④The popularity around the world. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①②③ D. ①③④ 18. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Nut carving requires natural talent for drawing. B. Nut carving artists must copy traditional designs. C. Artists use nuts of the same size to make nut carving. D. Nut carving artists should learn different traditional skills 19. What is the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤ 20. What will the writer talk about next? A. A traditional folk story. B. The history of nut carving. C. The development of nut carving. D. The disappearance of nut carving. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍潍坊核雕这一非物质文化遗产的起源、工艺特点与传承现状。 【16题详解】 文章开头提到“Many people may throw away the nuts... but artists of nut carving have instead collected them and turned them into artworks”可知通过“扔掉果核”与“制作艺术品”的对比引出主题（By comparing different uses of nuts.）。 【17题详解】 文章第三段提到“Because of the difficult carving skills required and its rich artistic meanings, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.”(由于所需的高难度雕刻技艺和丰富的艺术内涵，潍坊核雕被列为国家级非物质文化遗产)，对应②(丰富的艺术内涵)和③(高超的雕刻技艺)。因此选②③。 【18题详解】 文章第四段提到“they have to learn about some skills in painting and handwriting art from many traditional cultures”，可知核雕艺术家需要学习不同的传统技艺。 【19题详解】 文章结构：①段(对比果核的不同用途，引出核雕主题);②-④段(介绍核雕艺术家、历史起源、制作难度);⑤段(核雕的现状与传承)，符合“总分总”的简化结构①/②③④/⑤。 【20题详解】 最后一段提到“…nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed...attracted many young people to learn...pass down the skills”，由此可知后文可能继续围绕“核雕的发展”展开。 C Over the past 100 years, an important idea has become popular in education. Before, people thought intelligence was inborn. But now, we know that intelligence can change with the right training. In the 19th century, psychologist Alfred Binet, who made the first intelligence tests, believed intelligence was fixed and tried to measure it. However, in the early 20th century, thinkers like John Dewey said every child’s intelligence could grow with a good environment. Dweck’s famous experiment divided 10 to 12-year-olds into two groups. One group was praised for being smart, while the other for working hard. The “effort-praised” group tried harder on later tasks, while the “smart-praised” group avoided challenges to protect their self-image. This showed that praising effort, not talent, helps students improve. However, schools often have difficulty in using growth mindset (思维模式) ideas effectively.

True confidence comes from real achievements, not empty praise. Perhaps growth mindset works better as a teaching philosophy than a classroom tool. 21. What did Alfred Binet believe about intelligence? A. Intelligence was based on a person’s effort. B. Intelligence was something fixed and could be measured. C. Intelligence could be developed with the right environment. D. Every child’s intelligence was different and unchangeable. 22. In Carol Dweck’s experiment, what happened to the group praised for intelligence? A. They were more likely to work hard on future tasks. B. They took on more difficult tasks to prove their ability. C. They avoided tasks that might cause them to fail. D. They changed their mindset after the experiment. 23. How is Paragraph 3 developed? A. By stating a problem and explaining its causes. B. By comparing school’s past and present methods. C. By giving personal stories on fixed grades. D. By listing research steps to implement a growth mindset. 24. What might the author agree with? A. Motivational posters are the best way to teach. B. Fixed grades help students develop a growth mindset. C. Dweck’s experiments perfectly prove her theory. D. Teaching real skills is better than empty praise. 25. Which is the best title for the article? A. The History of Intelligence Tests B. Why Fixed Mindset Fails in Schools C. Growth Mindset: Hopes and Realities D. How to Praise Students Correctly 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 24. D 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了成长型思维理念的发展、Dweck的实验、学校应用中的问题以及专家对该理论的质疑。 【21题详解】 第一段“...psychologist Alfred Binet, who made the first intelligence tests, believed intelligence was fixed and tried to measure it.”表明，Binet认为智力是固定的且可以被测量。 【22题详解】 第二段“...the ‘smart-praised’ group avoided challenges to protect their self-image.”表明，被表扬聪明的群体避免挑战以保护自我形象。 【23题详解】 第三段首句“However, schools often have difficulty in using growth mindset ideas effectively.”提出问题，后文列举原因（过度关注分数、创造矛盾），因此第三段是通过提出问题和解释原因来展开的。 【24题详解】 最后一段“Instead, teaching practical skills...and praising effort works better. True confidence comes from real achievements, not empty praise.”表明，作者认为教授实际技能比空泛表扬更好。 【25题详解】 全文从成长型思维的起源、实验支持、学校应用问题到专家质疑，全面呈现了其希望与现实，因此“Growth Mindset: Hopes and Realities”为最佳标题。 第二节 短文填空 Self-confidence is the key to success. It means believing in ourselves and knowing that we have value. ____26____ That’s why confident people would like to speak up, try new things, and learn from mistakes. How can we build self-confidence? ____27____ We can build it by recognizing our strengths and celebrating our progress, even the small steps. Speaking kindly to ourselves and keeping a positive mindset (思维模式) also help. Instead of feeling bad about failures, we should see them as opportunities (机会) to learn and grow. ____28____ Support from family, friends, or teachers plays a big role in building confidence. Their encouragement helps us believe in ourselves and achieve our goals. However, social media can sometimes make us doubt ourselves by only showing the best parts of others’ lives. ____29____ Why does self-confidence matter? Self-confidence is more than just feeling good about ourselves. ____30____ With it, we are more likely to set clear goals, stay true to our values, and move forward even when life gets hard. A. How do others influence our confidence? B. It is about knowing our purpose and direction in life, too. C. With this belief, we feel brave and ready to face challenges. D. Instead of comparing, we should focus on our own strengths. E. Confidence means we will always succeed if we try hard enough. F. Self-confidence is not something we are born with—it develops over time. 【答案】26. C 27. F 28. A 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【原文】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了自信的定义、重要性、建立方法及他人影响，强调自信并非天生，而是通过自我认可、积极心态和支持环境逐渐培养的。 【26题详解】 前文提到 “自信意味着相信自己”，C项“this belief”指代 “相信自己”，“brave and ready to face challenges”（勇敢面对挑战）与下文的“自信的人愿意发言、尝试新事物”衔接，故选C。 【27题详解】 本段主题是 “如何建立自信”，后文提到“build it by recognizing strengths and celebrating progress”，说明自信是“后天发展的”，F选项 “自信不是天生的，而是逐渐发展的” 引出后文方法，符合主旨。 【28题详解】 本段提到“家人、朋友、老师的支持在帮助建立自信方面扮演重要角色，社交媒体则让人怀疑自己”，均围绕“他人如何影响自信”展开，A项作为段落主题句，衔接自然。 【29题详解】 空格上句提到“社交媒体只展示他人生活的美好部分”，易导致 “与他人比较”，D项 “不要比较，关注自身优势”是针对该问题的建议，衔接合理。 【30题详解】 前文提到“自信不仅仅是自我感觉良好”，“more than”提示后文补充自信的其他内涵，B项“还关乎了解人生目标和方向”符合补充说明的逻辑。 第三节 信息匹配 ____31____ Sally is from Japan.
