A
Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital city of the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums and the botanical gardens.
Money Saving Tips
●Unless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.
●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
●Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.

“I want to work full-time in China, honey.” An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. “Why?” asked the wife with surprise, in a drowsy (昏昏欲睡的) voice, from the other side of the ocean.
In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured (终身的) chair professor at Princeton.
When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China.
The news spread explosively. Many expressed confusion, many persuaded him, many made fun of him, and still many waited to have a good laugh at him.
He said patriotism is the plainest feeling of a person. Who doesn’t love his motherland, after all? In his heart, the American dream is already something past; the Chinese dream is rising.
After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory. He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed “Da Niu” (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students. His given name, Yigong, comes from an idiom that means “devoted to public interest whole-heartedly”. “So far as I’m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.” Shi says calmly.
In his 18 years of study in the United States, he never forgot his Chinese dream. In the next 18 years, the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him.
4. Why was Shi determined to return to China?
A. To serve his motherland. B. To reunite with his wife.
C. To live a quieter life. D. To make more money.
5. What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Normal. B. Miserable. C. Wealthy. D. Adventurous.
6. What can we know about Shi Yigong?
A. His decision was well-received. B. He doesn’t care much about fame.
C. He is the youngest professor in history. D. His Chinese dream will be realized in 18 years.
7. Why is Shi Yigong called “Da Niu” by his Tsinghua students?
A. To support his life science research. B. To praise his honesty.
C. To introduce his endless energy in work. D. To show his unusual achievements.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory.(回到中国后,他投入了全部的精力,疯狂地工作,并决心做一番大事业。他组建了一个生命科学研究小组。他每天在实验室工作12到16个小时)”可知,施一公回到祖国之后,努力做科学研究,目的是为自己的祖国做贡献,服务祖国服务人民。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured (终身的) chair professor at Princeton.(在美国,他前途无量。36岁时,他成为普林斯顿大学分子生物系历史上最年轻的教授,因为他的学术成就。40岁时,他成为普林斯顿大学的终身教授)”及第三段“When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China.(当一切在别人看来似乎都是完美和令人钦佩的时候,他坚定地决定告别普林斯顿大学,告别在美国的affluent生活,回到中国)”可知,施一公在美国有着非凡的学术成就,并最终成为普林斯顿大学的终身教授,有着完美的令人钦佩的生活,可推断他告别的是美国 “富足的”生活;wealthy意为“富裕的”,与affluent意思接近。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“‘So far as I’ m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.’ Shi says calmly.(‘在我看来,奖项没有什么特别的意义。’ 施一公平静地说)”可知,施一公并不在乎自己获得的奖项,也就是不在乎奖项所代表的名声。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed ‘Da Niu’ (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students. (他就是施一公,被清华学子戏称为“大牛”(有非凡成就的人))”可知,他的学生给他取名“大牛”是为了显示他非凡的成就。故选D项。
C
While the rest of the country’s schools were struggling with math, student performance in Piedmont, a rural Alabama school district, improved obviously.
Piedmont, a 1,100-student district where seven out of 10 come from poor families, changed its teaching method five years ago: Teachers used test scores to see where their students were struggling and then they tried to help each kid focus on specific skills.
“Once we made that decision and allowed our teachers time to dig into the data, it paid off,” said Mike Hayes, the head teacher.
Piedmont students ranked (排名) 35th in the state in math in 2017. By spring 2022, the district ranked 12th in the state on math, with 57% of students reaching proficiency (娴熟). Statewide, 30% of students scored proficient in math.
To encourage teachers to dig deeper into student data, the Piedmont system made the school day longer and freed up time every four weeks for “data days”, when educators got together to study the testing results and decide how to divide the students into small groups for focused instruction.
“Research supports the use of tests to help teachers figure out which students need personalized help,” said Rebecca Dreyfus, an expert helping schools improve student learning. “Focused instruction for small groups of students also has years of research and evidence to back it up.”
At first, when Piedmont decided to introduce the small group instruction, teachers said they didn’t have enough time in a regular class to do it well. So the district lengthened math classes to 80 minutes every day in the middle school and 120 minutes each day in the elementary school.
“The longer math classes made a big difference,” teacher Landon Pruitt said. “In a 45-minute class, it is impossible to teach in small groups and get through the contents that we are required to cover.”
8. Why are the data used in paragraph 4?
A. To describe a phenomenon in the US.
B. To show the effect of the teaching method.
C. To tell the students’ family background.
D. To explain the state-wide math performances.
9. What does the testing aim to do in Piedmont?
A. Get money from students. B. Force teachers to work harder.
C. Choose the best students. D. Guide personalized instructions.
10. What does Rebecca Dreyfus suggest about the tests?
A. They are waste of time. B. They need further research.
C. They can be very helpful. D. They cost too much money.
11. What has made small group instructions possible in Piedmont?
A. Lengthened class time. B. Smaller class size. C. Less teaching contents. D. Additional teachers.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍皮德蒙特学区通过数据分组教学有效提升学生数学成绩的做法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Piedmont students ranked (排名) 35th in the state in math in 2017. By spring 2022, the district ranked 12th in the state on math, with 57% of students reaching proficiency (娴熟). (2017年,皮德蒙特学生的数学成绩在全州排名第35位。到2022年春天,该学区的数学成绩在全州排名第12位,57%的学生达到了熟练水平。)”可知,本段中这些数据展示了学生在数学成绩上的进步,并与州平均水平形成对比,目的是证明教学方法的效果。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“To encourage teachers to dig deeper into student data, the Piedmont system made the school day longer and freed up time every four weeks for “data days”, when educators got together to study the testing results and decide how to divide the students into small groups for focused instruction. (为了鼓励教师深入挖掘学生数据,皮德蒙特学区延长了上课时间,并每四周腾出一天时间作为“数据日”,教育工作者在这一天聚集在一起研究测试结果,并决定如何将学生分成小组进行有针对性的指导。)”可知,皮德蒙特学区的测试旨在指导个性化教学。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中““Research supports the use of tests to help teachers figure out which students need personalized help,” said Rebecca Dreyfus, an expert helping schools improve student learning.(帮助学校提升学生学业的专家Rebecca Dreyfus表示:“研究表明,测试能帮助教师找出需要个性化辅导的学生。”)”可知,Rebecca Dreyfus认为这些测试非常有帮助。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At first, when Piedmont decided to introduce the small group instruction, teachers said they didn’t have enough time in a regular class to do it well. So the district lengthened math classes to 80 minutes every day in the middle school and 120 minutes each day in the elementary school. (起初,当皮德蒙特决定引入小组教学时,老师们表示,他们在常规课堂上没有足够的时间来做好这件事。因此,该学区将中学的数学课延长到每天80分钟,小学的数学课延长到每天120分钟。)”及最后一段““The longer math classes made a big difference,” teacher Landon Pruitt said. “In a 45-minute class, it is impossible to teach in small groups and get through the contents that we are required to cover.” (“更长的数学课带来了很大的不同,”教师Landon Pruitt说,“在45分钟的课堂上,根本不可能进行小组教学,同时又完成我们需要讲授的全部内容。”)”可知,延长的上课时间使皮德蒙特的小组教学成为可能。故选A。
D
Coolness is not a widely studied subject. Past research has found that coolness is usually considered something positive: Cool people enjoy taking risks and doing extreme things and they are usually fashionable and attractive.
But Dr. Warren and his team want to know what makes a person “good” rather than just “cool”. So they asked the participants in an experiment to think about the people they considered good or cool. Then they were asked to match each person with 15 different qualities.
“We found that the good and cool people do share some qualities. For example, those who appear agreeable are equally considered cool and good,” Dr. Warren said. “But, across the board, the qualities that are usually related to kindness or helpfulness are more often associated with good people instead of cool ones. Compared with cool ones, good people seem to be warmer, more helpful and traditional. They usually work harder and see everyone and everything as being equal or equally worthy of care and respect.”
Their finding further suggests that the drive to be cool is particularly strong during teenage, and it influences not only what people buy or whom they admire but also how they talk and what they do for fun.
So is coolness a quality that’s worth dreaming of?
“I have serious doubts,” Dr. Warren said. “Sure, cool kids get more attention in school, but many of them who continue behaving in this way in adulthood would struggle. For example, they are very likely to develop problems with drugs and relationships. Though coolness may offer popularity during youth, it is how good you are that contributes to long-term success. Even the most uncool kid will probably do well if they have at least some close friends.”
12. Which quality is more often related to cool people according to the text?
A. Respectfulness. B. Helpfulness. C. Adventurousness. D. Agreeableness.
13. Who are most likely to try to appear cool?
A. Babies. B. Teenagers. C. Young adults. D. The elderly.
14. What is Dr. Warren’s attitude to cool adults?
A. Unfavorable. B. Appreciative. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Possible problems for cool kids.
B. Advantages of being a good person.
C. Shared qualities of good and cool people.
D. Differences between cool and good persons.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“酷”与“好”的人之间的区别及影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Past research has found that coolness is usually considered something positive: Cool people enjoy taking risks and doing extreme things and they are usually fashionable and attractive.(过去的研究发现,酷通常被认为是一种积极的东西:酷的人喜欢冒险和做极端的事情,他们通常很时尚和有吸引力)”可知,酷的人通常喜欢冒险和做极端的事情,即冒险精神更常与酷的人相关。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Their finding further suggests that the drive to be cool is particularly strong during teenage, and it influences not only what people buy or whom they admire but also how they talk and what they do for fun.(他们的发现进一步表明,在青少年时期,追求酷的动力特别强烈,它不仅影响人们购买什么或崇拜谁,还影响他们如何交谈以及为了娱乐而做什么)”可知,青少年最有可能试图表现得酷。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I have serious doubts,” Dr. Warren said. “Sure, cool kids get more attention in school, but many of them who continue behaving in this way in adulthood would struggle. For example, they are very likely to develop problems with drugs and relationships. Though coolness may offer popularity during youth, it is how good you are that contributes to long-term success. Even the most uncool kid will probably do well if they have at least some close friends.”(沃伦博士说:“我对此表示严重怀疑。当然,酷的孩子在学校会得到更多的关注,但许多在成年后继续这样做的孩子会遇到困难。例如,他们很可能会在毒品和人际关系方面出现问题。虽然酷在年轻时可能会让人受欢迎,但你有多好才有助于长期成功。即使是最不酷的孩子,如果他们至少有一些亲密的朋友,也可能会做得很好。”)”可知,沃伦博士对酷的成年人持不赞成的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中““We found that the good and cool people do share some qualities. For example, those who appear agreeable are equally considered cool and good,” Dr. Warren said. “But, across the board, the qualities that are usually related to kindness or helpfulness are more often associated with good people instead of cool ones. Compared with cool ones, good people seem to be warmer, more helpful and traditional. They usually work harder and see everyone and everything as being equal or equally worthy of care and respect.”(沃伦博士说:“我们发现,善良和冷静的人确实有一些共同的品质。例如,那些看起来和蔼可亲的人同样被认为是善良和冷静。”“但是,总的来说,通常与善良或乐于助人相关的品质更常与好人联系在一起,而不是酷的人。与酷的人相比,好人似乎更温暖、更乐于助人、更传统。他们通常工作更努力,认为每个人和每件事都是平等的,或者同样值得关心和尊重”)”以及全文可知,文章主要讨论了“酷”与“好”的人之间的区别及影响,D选项“Differences between cool and good persons.(酷的人和好的人之间的区别)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I’d just finished a months-long project. When a friend asked how I’d celebrate, the idea never occurred to me — I was already thinking of the next task. ____16____ Here are some simple ways to celebrate your every day.
Start your day as a celebration.
Celebrate the fact that you are alive. Take a few moments every morning to simply enjoy a few minutes over a cup of coffee or tea and breathe in the aroma (香气), feel the warmth, and enjoy the comfort. ____17____ When you start your day feeling thankful and happy, you will likely have more joy for the rest of the day.
Notice the small achievements.
We often forget to value ourselves. Did you choose to spend your lunch break taking a walk and getting some exercise? ____18____ Did you spend a few extra minutes giving a friend or co-worker a helping hand? Celebrate yourself for giving somebody the time to make their life easier. When we notice the little things in life we did well, it improves our mood and self-esteem (自尊).
____19____
This tip has a double benefit — when you celebrate someone else, both of you feel great! Start taking notice when your partner does little things, like taking out the trash, making the bed, or cleaning up the bathroom. When you celebrate someone else for the little things, they feel valued and will be more willing to help again.
Celebrate every evening.
Just as you begin every day in celebration, let’s end the day celebrating and reflecting upon the day that’s passed. Spend a few minutes over a cup of tea, or lying in bed, giving thanks for all the blessings in your day and your life. ____20____
A. Celebrate others.
B. Do something out of the ordinary.
C. I choose to fill my mind with positive things.
D. Celebrate yourself for taking care of your body.
E. Give thanks for the day that is coming your way.
F. This will add joy to your day, warmth to your heart, and more to celebrate.
G. Her question made me see we should celebrate all life’s achievements, big or small.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. F

When a friend asked how I’d celebrate, the idea never occurred to me — I was already thinking of the next task.(我刚完成一个持续数月的大项目。当朋友问我打算如何庆祝时,我从未想过这个——我已经在想下一个任务了)”描述了作者忙于工作而忽视庆祝的现象,G选项“Her question made me see we should celebrate all life’s achievements, big or small.(她的问题让我意识到,我们应该庆祝生活中大大小小的所有成就)”承接上文,指出朋友的提问让作者意识到庆祝的重要性;下文“Here are some simple ways to celebrate your every day.(这里有一些庆祝每一天的简单方法)”引出下文具体建议,与G选项中的“celebrate all life’s achievements”形成逻辑关联,上下文语意连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“Take a few moments every morning to simply enjoy a few minutes over a cup of coffee or tea and breathe in the aroma (香气), feel the warmth, and enjoy the comfort.(每天早上花几分钟时间,简单地享受一杯咖啡或茶,吸入香气,感受温暖,享受舒适)”建议在早晨通过咖啡或茶来享受片刻,E选项“Give thanks for the day that is coming your way.(对即将到来的一天心怀感恩)”承接上文,进一步指出在早晨的享受中还应怀有感恩之心;下文“When you start your day feeling thankful and happy, you will likely have more joy for the rest of the day.(当你以感恩和快乐的心情开始一天时,你在一天余下的时间里更有可能拥有更多快乐)”解释了感恩带来的积极影响,与E选项中的“give thanks”直接呼应,上下文语意连贯。

上文“Did you choose to spend your lunch break taking a walk and getting some exercise?(你是否选择了利用午休时间去散步和锻炼?)”以一个关于身体锻炼的问题引出思考,D选项“Celebrate yourself for taking care of your body.(为自己照顾好自己的身体而庆祝)”承接上文,针对这一问题给出了回应——应该为自己照顾身体的举动而庆祝;下文“Did you spend a few extra minutes giving a friend or co-worker a helping hand?(你是否花了额外几分钟帮助朋友或同事?)”继续以另一个问题引发思考,与D选项构成并列结构,上下文语意连贯。
【19题详解】
设空处为段落小标题,需概括本段内容。下文“This tip has a double benefit — when you celebrate someone else, both of you feel great!(这个建议有双重好处——当你为他人庆祝时,你们双方都会感觉很好!)”强调了为他人庆祝的积极效果。A选项“Celebrate others.(为他人庆祝)”准确概括了本段主旨,点明这一策略的核心——为身边人的小事庆祝,符合小标题格式。
【20题详解】
上文“Just as you begin every day in celebration, let’s end the day celebrating and reflecting upon the day that’s passed. Spend a few minutes over a cup of tea, or lying in bed, giving thanks for all the blessings in your day and your life.(就像你以庆祝开始每一天一样,让我们以庆祝和反思结束这一天。花几分钟喝杯茶,或躺在床上,为你一天和生活中所有的恩赐心怀感恩)”建议以感恩和反思结束一天,F选项“This will add joy to your day, warmth to your heart, and more to celebrate.(这将为你的一天增添快乐,为你的心灵增添温暖,并带来更多值得庆祝的事)”承接上文,总结了以感恩结束一天所带来的积极影响——增加快乐、温暖和更多值得庆祝的事,作为全文的结尾,上下文语意连贯。

47. 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。
When Leo transferred to a new high school in the middle of the term, he rarely spoke a single word. Coming from a quiet small town far away, he was extremely shy and quiet, always sitting silently at the back of the classroom. He never participated in any group activities, and even when the teacher asked him simple questions, he would lower his head shyly and reply in a low voice.
But during the art class, Jake, the most lively and playful boy in their class, secretly glanced at Leo’s painting and couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. One day, Ms. White, their art teacher, announced a city-wide art competition, calling on students to create paintings that could reveal their innermost dreams and true emotions. While other students chatted happily and actively shared their creative ideas, Leo sat all alone in his seat, staring blankly at his blank canvas (画布), looking lost and discouraged.
Ms. White walked over and knelt beside him, saying gently, “Everyone has a unique voice in art and yours is just waiting to be heard.” Leo looked up at her for the first time, his eyes full of doubt but also a faint spark of hope. She stayed with him patiently, asking about his beautiful hometown and his hidden hobbies, and little by little, Leo began to open up his heart. With her encouragement, Leo finished his painting and submitted it to the teacher after class, never expecting anyone to notice.
A month later, as soon as classes ended, Jake rushed over to Leo with a bright grin. “Come on, let’s go to the notice board. The result of the art competition is due out today!” he said excitedly. Leo shook his head and whispered, “I’m not going. It has nothing to do with me anyway.” Moments later, loud, excited cheers came from the hallway.
注意:
1.续写词数为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Jake dashed back and announced the good news.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jake dashed back and announced the good news. “Leo, you won first place!” he shouted, his voice full of excitement. Leo’s eyes widened in disbelief. He shook his head slightly, thinking it must be a mistake. But Jake grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the hallway. There, on the notice board, was Leo’s painting, a peaceful village with starry skies and children laughing. Ms. White stood nearby, smiling proudly. “I knew you could do it,” she said softly. For the first time, Leo felt seen. A shy smile appeared on his face as classmates gathered around, offering their congratulations.
Everyone soon found Leo’s gradual change. He began to speak more in class, his voice no longer a whisper but clear and steady. He joined group activities and even helped other students with their art projects. Jake became his close friend, and together they painted pictures on the classroom wall. Leo no longer sat at the back alone. He had found his voice, not through words alone, but through colors and brushes. Ms. White’s words had planted a seed, and now Leo was finally blooming. Sometimes a single act of kindness is all it takes to help a quiet heart find its way.

Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital city of the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums and the botanical gardens.
Money Saving Tips
●Unless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.
●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
●Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.

“I want to work full-time in China, honey.” An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. “Why?” asked the wife with surprise, in a drowsy (昏昏欲睡的) voice, from the other side of the ocean.
In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured (终身的) chair professor at Princeton.
When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China.
The news spread explosively. Many expressed confusion, many persuaded him, many made fun of him, and still many waited to have a good laugh at him.
He said patriotism is the plainest feeling of a person. Who doesn’t love his motherland, after all? In his heart, the American dream is already something past; the Chinese dream is rising.
After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory. He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed “Da Niu” (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students. His given name, Yigong, comes from an idiom that means “devoted to public interest whole-heartedly”. “So far as I’m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.” Shi says calmly.
In his 18 years of study in the United States, he never forgot his Chinese dream. In the next 18 years, the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him.
4. Why was Shi determined to return to China?
A. To serve his motherland. B. To reunite with his wife.
C. To live a quieter life. D. To make more money.
5. What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Normal. B. Miserable. C. Wealthy. D. Adventurous.
6. What can we know about Shi Yigong?
A. His decision was well-received. B. He doesn’t care much about fame.
C. He is the youngest professor in history. D. His Chinese dream will be realized in 18 years.
7. Why is Shi Yigong called “Da Niu” by his Tsinghua students?
A. To support his life science research. B. To praise his honesty.
C. To introduce his endless energy in work. D. To show his unusual achievements.
C
While the rest of the country’s schools were struggling with math, student performance in Piedmont, a rural Alabama school district, improved obviously.
Piedmont, a 1,100-student district where seven out of 10 come from poor families, changed its teaching method five years ago: Teachers used test scores to see where their students were struggling and then they tried to help each kid focus on specific skills.
“Once we made that decision and allowed our teachers time to dig into the data, it paid off,” said Mike Hayes, the head teacher.
Piedmont students ranked (排名) 35th in the state in math in 2017. By spring 2022, the district ranked 12th in the state on math, with 57% of students reaching proficiency (娴熟). Statewide, 30% of students scored proficient in math.
To encourage teachers to dig deeper into student data, the Piedmont system made the school day longer and freed up time every four weeks for “data days”, when educators got together to study the testing results and decide how to divide the students into small groups for focused instruction.
“Research supports the use of tests to help teachers figure out which students need personalized help,” said Rebecca Dreyfus, an expert helping schools improve student learning. “Focused instruction for small groups of students also has years of research and evidence to back it up.”
At first, when Piedmont decided to introduce the small group instruction, teachers said they didn’t have enough time in a regular class to do it well. So the district lengthened math classes to 80 minutes every day in the middle school and 120 minutes each day in the elementary school.
“The longer math classes made a big difference,” teacher Landon Pruitt said. “In a 45-minute class, it is impossible to teach in small groups and get through the contents that we are required to cover.”
8. Why are the data used in paragraph 4?
A. To describe a phenomenon in the US.
B. To show the effect of the teaching method.
C. To tell the students’ family background.
D. To explain the state-wide math performances.
9. What does the testing aim to do in Piedmont?
A. Get money from students. B. Force teachers to work harder.
C. Choose the best students. D. Guide personalized instructions.
10. What does Rebecca Dreyfus suggest about the tests?
A. They are waste of time. B. They need further research.
C. They can be very helpful. D. They cost too much money.
11. What has made small group instructions possible in Piedmont?
A. Lengthened class time. B. Smaller class size. C. Less teaching contents. D. Additional teachers.
D
Coolness is not a widely studied subject. Past research has found that coolness is usually considered something positive: Cool people enjoy taking risks and doing extreme things and they are usually fashionable and attractive.
But Dr. Warren and his team want to know what makes a person “good” rather than just “cool”. So they asked the participants in an experiment to think about the people they considered good or cool. Then they were asked to match each person with 15 different qualities.
“We found that the good and cool people do share some qualities. For example, those who appear agreeable are equally considered cool and good,” Dr. Warren said. “But, across the board, the qualities that are usually related to kindness or helpfulness are more often associated with good people instead of cool ones. Compared with cool ones, good people seem to be warmer, more helpful and traditional. They usually work harder and see everyone and everything as being equal or equally worthy of care and respect.”
Their finding further suggests that the drive to be cool is particularly strong during teenage, and it influences not only what people buy or whom they admire but also how they talk and what they do for fun.
So is coolness a quality that’s worth dreaming of?
“I have serious doubts,” Dr. Warren said. “Sure, cool kids get more attention in school, but many of them who continue behaving in this way in adulthood would struggle. For example, they are very likely to develop problems with drugs and relationships. Though coolness may offer popularity during youth, it is how good you are that contributes to long-term success. Even the most uncool kid will probably do well if they have at least some close friends.”
12. Which quality is more often related to cool people according to the text?
A. Respectfulness. B. Helpfulness. C. Adventurousness. D. Agreeableness.
13. Who are most likely to try to appear cool?
A. Babies. B. Teenagers. C. Young adults. D. The elderly.
14. What is Dr. Warren’s attitude to cool adults?
A. Unfavorable. B. Appreciative. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Possible problems for cool kids.
B. Advantages of being a good person.
C. Shared qualities of good and cool people.
D. Differences between cool and good persons.

I’d just finished a months-long project. When a friend asked how I’d celebrate, the idea never occurred to me — I was already thinking of the next task. ____16____ Here are some simple ways to celebrate your every day.
Start your day as a celebration.
Celebrate the fact that you are alive. Take a few moments every morning to simply enjoy a few minutes over a cup of coffee or tea and breathe in the aroma (香气), feel the warmth, and enjoy the comfort. ____17____ When you start your day feeling thankful and happy, you will likely have more joy for the rest of the day.
Notice the small achievements.
We often forget to value ourselves. Did you choose to spend your lunch break taking a walk and getting some exercise? ____18____ Did you spend a few extra minutes giving a friend or co-worker a helping hand? Celebrate yourself for giving somebody the time to make their life easier. When we notice the little things in life we did well, it improves our mood and self-esteem (自尊).
____19____
This tip has a double benefit — when you celebrate someone else, both of you feel great! Start taking notice when your partner does little things, like taking out the trash, making the bed, or cleaning up the bathroom. When you celebrate someone else for the little things, they feel valued and will be more willing to help again.
Celebrate every evening.
Just as you begin every day in celebration, let’s end the day celebrating and reflecting upon the day that’s passed. Spend a few minutes over a cup of tea, or lying in bed, giving thanks for all the blessings in your day and your life. ____20____
A. Celebrate others.
B. Do something out of the ordinary.
C. I choose to fill my mind with positive things.
D. Celebrate yourself for taking care of your body.
E. Give thanks for the day that is coming your way.
F. This will add joy to your day, warmth to your heart, and more to celebrate.
G. Her question made me see we should celebrate all life’s achievements, big or small.

47. 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。
When Leo transferred to a new high school in the middle of the term, he rarely spoke a single word. Coming from a quiet small town far away, he was extremely shy and quiet, always sitting silently at the back of the classroom. He never participated in any group activities, and even when the teacher asked him simple questions, he would lower his head shyly and reply in a low voice.
But during the art class, Jake, the most lively and playful boy in their class, secretly glanced at Leo’s painting and couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. One day, Ms. White, their art teacher, announced a city-wide art competition, calling on students to create paintings that could reveal their innermost dreams and true emotions. While other students chatted happily and actively shared their creative ideas, Leo sat all alone in his seat, staring blankly at his blank canvas (画布), looking lost and discouraged.
Ms. White walked over and knelt beside him, saying gently, “Everyone has a unique voice in art and yours is just waiting to be heard.” Leo looked up at her for the first time, his eyes full of doubt but also a faint spark of hope. She stayed with him patiently, asking about his beautiful hometown and his hidden hobbies, and little by little, Leo began to open up his heart. With her encouragement, Leo finished his painting and submitted it to the teacher after class, never expecting anyone to notice.
A month later, as soon as classes ended, Jake rushed over to Leo with a bright grin. “Come on, let’s go to the notice board. The result of the art competition is due out today!” he said excitedly. Leo shook his head and whispered, “I’m not going. It has nothing to do with me anyway.” Moments later, loud, excited cheers came from the hallway.
注意:
1.续写词数为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Jake dashed back and announced the good news.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everyone soon found Leo’s gradual change.
