Born with a skin condition, Michaela Mabinty DePrince was labeled a “devil child” at her Sierra Leone orphanage (孤儿院), the last to be fed and the first to be beaten. When an issue of Dance Magazine blew into the orphanage yard, with a woman smiling on the cover, she imagined a better life as a ballerina.
Adopted by an American family at age 4, she studied and practiced to make her dream a reality. When she was just 15, she was one of six promising dancers in the documentary First Position. She went on to study with the American Ballet Theater and became a dancer of the Dance Theater of Harlem. At the height of her career, she secured starring roles with the Dutch National Ballet and appearing in the film version of Beyoncé’s Lemonade.
She was born in the war-torn West African country of Sierra Leone. When she was 3, her miner father was killed and her mother died of hunger. At the orphanage, she took to turning around quickly and standing on the tips of her toes, and the DePrinces, the couple who adopted her and brought her back to New Jersey, promised to take her to ballet lessons once she excelled in English. She was quickly discovered to be talented. With her athleticism and what one reviewer called her “spitfire quickness,” DePrince became an international star in Amsterdam. There she took the lead in such ballets as Swan Lake and Coppélia, dancing with “undeniable grace, strength, and precision”.
She had to take a break in 2017 after an accident, which gave her time “to seek treatment for years of nightmares (噩梦)” about her wartime childhood. She joined the Boston Ballet in 2021 but left in the same year for undisclosed reasons. “Dance with your heart,” she once told young ballerinas. “Don’t let the negative aspects of life cause you to lose what made you want to achieve in the first place.”
4. Why is a magazine mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the cause of her skin condition.
B. To show the unfair treatment at the orphanage.
C. To indicate the inspiration for Michaela’s dream.
D. To explain the variety of magazines at the orphanage.
5. What was the highlight of Michaela’s career?
A. Dancing in the documentary First Position. B. Studying with the American Ballet Theater.
C. Taking the lead in the Dance Theater of Harlem. D. Landing lead roles in the Dutch National Ballet.
6. When did Michaela start taking ballet lessons?
A. Once she returned to New Jersey. B. After she learned English well.
C. Once she attended English lessons. D. After she showed a talent for ballet.
7. Which of the following best describes Michaela?
A. Lucky and mysterious. B. Gifted and resolved.
C. Promising and curious. D. Talented and delighted.
C
Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PlelQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera.
On the other side of the center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.”
At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
8. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?
A. By playing the role of a companion.
B. By giving direct guidance.
C. By taking photos with a camera.
D. By presenting visual images.
9. What can be inferred about Woobo from paragraph 3?
A. It is programmed to replace teachers.
B. It may be good company for kids.
C. It can get started automatically.
D. It is intended to design games.
10. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A. They are quite easy to operate.
B. They can teach children numbers.
C. They help kids express themselves well.
D. They can show their emotions clearly.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence.
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair.
C. Toymakers are making profits in education.
D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair.
D
Having an older brother comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers tend to look out for their younger brothers and sisters, and despite the occasional rocky moment here and there, many siblings (兄弟姐妹) enjoy life-long close relationships. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.
The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.
One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills.
Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax, and verbal reasoning.
What the research team discovered was significant: children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister.
As far as explaining this phenomenon, researchers have put forward two hypotheses. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention.
As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to find out if culture or location affects the popularity of these results.
12. Who has a two-month delay in their language development?
A. An only child in the family. B. Children with brothers and sisters.
C. Only children with an older sister. D. Only children with an older brother.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The whole process of the research. B. The real causes of the result.
C. The exact conclusion of the study. D. The sincere relationship of the siblings.
14. What does the underlined word “hypotheses” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Phenomena. B. Researches. C. Assumptions. D. Consequences.
15. What possibly causes the interesting disadvantage according to the text?
A. Older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers.
B. Culture or location affects the popularity of these results.
C. Parents stay longer with their second child than the first one.
D. Older brothers often challenge their siblings less than older sisters.

Aunt Evie had a dollhouse. It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie’s home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours.
Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. ” I said to myself.
Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie’s dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, ‘and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn’t wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn’t go to sleep. “What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie.” I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn’t tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself. And I knew if I didn’t do something, I wouldn’t get away from those bad feelings.

At the orphanage, she took to turning around quickly and standing on the tips of her toes, and the DePrinces, the couple who adopted her and brought her back to New Jersey, promised to take her to ballet lessons once she excelled in English. She was quickly discovered to be talented. With her athleticism and what one reviewer called her “spitfire quickness,” DePrince became an international star in Amsterdam. There she took the lead in such ballets as Swan Lake and Coppélia, dancing with “undeniable grace, strength, and precision”.
She had to take a break in 2017 after an accident, which gave her time “to seek treatment for years of nightmares (噩梦)” about her wartime childhood. She joined the Boston Ballet in 2021 but left in the same year for undisclosed reasons. “Dance with your heart,” she once told young ballerinas. “Don’t let the negative aspects of life cause you to lose what made you want to achieve in the first place.”

A. To illustrate the cause of her skin condition.

5. What was the highlight of Michaela’s career?
A. Dancing in the documentary First Position. B. Studying with the American Ballet Theater.

Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.
Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PlelQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera.
On the other side of the center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.”
At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”
It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.
8. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?
A. By playing the role of a companion.
B. By giving direct guidance.
C. By taking photos with a camera.
D. By presenting visual images.
9. What can be inferred about Woobo from paragraph 3?
A. It is programmed to replace teachers.
B. It may be good company for kids.
C. It can get started automatically.
D. It is intended to design games.
10. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?
A. They are quite easy to operate.
B. They can teach children numbers.
C. They help kids express themselves well.
D. They can show their emotions clearly.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence.
B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair.
C. Toymakers are making profits in education.
D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.(孩子可以与Woobo交流,并遵循Woobo给出的一些指示,因为他认为这是一个伙伴,而不是父母或其他人告诉他要做某些事情。)”可知,Woobo可以被看作是孩子们的好伙伴。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Jonathan Erickson说的话“The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out.(最重要的是她说话。这是这一切的关键——让她的感受表达出来。)”可知,Jonathan Erickson认为他的玩具可以帮助孩子们很好地表达自己。故选C。
【11题详解】

Having an older brother comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers tend to look out for their younger brothers and sisters, and despite the occasional rocky moment here and there, many siblings (兄弟姐妹) enjoy life-long close relationships. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage: children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.
The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.
One would assume that children with older brothers would grow up around more conversation on a daily basis, thus speeding up their language development. Yet researchers say such children actually take longer than their older brothers to begin developing these skills.
Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially designed to measure numerous aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax, and verbal reasoning.
What the research team discovered was significant: children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister.
As far as explaining this phenomenon, researchers have put forward two hypotheses. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention.
As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to find out if culture or location affects the popularity of these results.
12. Who has a two-month delay in their language development?
A. An only child in the family. B. Children with brothers and sisters.
C. Only children with an older sister. D. Only children with an older brother.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The whole process of the research. B. The real causes of the result.
C. The exact conclusion of the study. D. The sincere relationship of the siblings.
14. What does the underlined word “hypotheses” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Phenomena. B. Researches. C. Assumptions. D. Consequences.
15. What possibly causes the interesting disadvantage according to the text?
A. Older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers.
B. Culture or location affects the popularity of these results.
C. Parents stay longer with their second child than the first one.
D. Older brothers often challenge their siblings less than older sisters.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了巴黎研究发现,有哥哥的孩子语言发育平均晚两个月,有姐姐则不会。研究者推测姐姐更爱说话、争抢关注更少,但具体成因仍待进一步探究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.(现在,研究人员表示他们已改进这些发现,得出了更具体的结论:只有拥有哥哥的儿童才会出现这些语言困难)”可知,只有一个哥哥的孩子学语言更慢。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, conducted by a group of researchers in Paris, France, builds upon previous research that had already discovered that having older siblings is associated with poor language development. Now, researchers say they have improved those findings to come to a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language difficulties.(这项研究由法国巴黎的一组研究人员开展,其研究建立在先前发现的基础上,即有年长的兄弟姐妹与语言发展较差存在关联。现在,研究人员表示他们已改进这些发现,得出了更具体的结论:只有拥有哥哥的儿童才会出现这些语言困难)”可知,第二段介绍了研究得出一个更准确的结论。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents’ attention.(第一,姐姐通常比哥哥说话更多,这可以弥补父母对该孩童的陪伴可能少于其对头胎孩子的陪伴的不足。第二,姐姐通常比哥哥更少与兄弟姐妹争夺父母的注意力)”和最后一段“As of now, the study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills.(目前,该研究的作者表示,他们尚无法确切说明为什么有哥哥的孩子在语言发展方面更困难)”可知,研究人员提出了两种原因假设。故划线词意思是“假说”。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would make up for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child.(第一点是,姐姐们通常比哥哥们说话更多,这可以弥补父母对该孩童的陪伴可能少于其对头胎孩子的陪伴的不足)”可知,可能造成这种有趣缺点的原因是姐姐比哥哥更常说话。

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。
Aunt Evie had a dollhouse. It had many toys there. Every Friday afternoon, I went to Aunt Evie’s home with my parents. The adults would sit around a table in the dining room, eating pie and talking, while I played in the dollhouse for hours.
Sometimes I would pick up these lovely toys and place them in different positions. It was really fun. One time I asked Aunt Evie where she got the toys so that I could buy some, too. To my disappointment, Aunt Evie said that most of them were specially handmade gifts from her friends and couldn’t be bought anywhere. One such toy was a little bear, which was my favorite. It was so beautiful that I wanted to own it badly. “If I take it, Aunt Evie may not notice it. ” I said to myself.
Therefore, on a Friday afternoon, I attempted to take the little bear away from Aunt Evie’s dollhouse. I had to wait until nobody was watching me, ‘and it took me hours to get the courage to put the little bear in my pocket. Once I got the little bear, I couldn’t wait to go home. I had to hide it somewhere at home, so that no one would know I took it. That night after I went home with my parents, I couldn’t go to sleep. “What a bad person I am! I stole something from my loved Aunt Evie.” I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I felt awful, but I couldn’t tell my parents, let alone return the little bear to Aunt Evie. I was embarrassed about my behavior. At some point, I started to hate the little bear and myself. And I knew if I didn’t do something, I wouldn’t get away from those bad feelings.

【答案】Paragraph I:
So I decided to tell my mom what I had done. After I told her all the story, I couldn’t hold back my tears. “I can’t live with myself and what I’ve done, ” I said. My mom shook her head in disappointment. “There’s only one way to make this right. You have to return the little bear and apologize to Aunt Evie, ” she said. Seized with fright, I stood frozen to the spot, thinking Aunt Evie would hate me. Eventually, with my mom’s encouragement, I got up the courage to head for Aunt Evie’s home.
Paragraph 2:
My hand was shaking when I rang the doorbell of Aunt Evie’s house. She unlocked the door, smiled and looked as if she already knew everything. I presented her with the little bear and made my apologies. “I admire your courage to return the bear. I would like to give it to you as a gift for your honesty. You’re always my favorite niece. ”Aunt Evie said. On hearing that, I felt a wave of relief. Mom’s words rang in my ears, “Honesty is the best policy!”
