As a young man, I dreamed of my ideal class where students with shining eyes were curious about everything before my first teaching year. I repeatedly pictured lively debates and enthusiastic voices filling the room.
However, when I took charge of a tenth-grade English class at a New York school, reality struck. These students had struggled with their studies at their previous schools and came here for a new chance. I followed traditional teaching methods, carried out unchanging lesson plans and stuck to strict classroom rules.
At the start of the term, all the students stared blankly at textbooks. They weren't ready to share their ideas or join in class activities. After observing this discouraging situation for weeks, I realized that strict and rigid(死板的) teaching stopped students creating new ideas and killed their interest in study, which left me wondering how I could improve my teaching.
I decided to try something completely different. So I introduced the popular novel Harry Potter as our in-class reading text and divided students into different Hogwarts teams to perform many interesting story-based group tasks. Students took part with great energy, discussed actively, shared their special thoughts and cooperated well with teammates. For the first time, the classroom was full of inspiration instead of cold rules — they felt seen, heard and valued.
From then on, my classes ran smoothly. The students' eyes lit up with passion. They grew far more willing to share ideas actively in class, and their academic performance improved noticeably.
My first year of teaching has taught me a precious lesson. Real education never means trapping students in fixed learning modes or asking them to think in the same way. Instead, it requires teachers to leave room for students' independent thinking and awaken their inner desire for growth. Every student has creative ideas and great potential(潜能), which can be fully developed in a free and open learning environment.
4. What's the author's purpose of describing his ideal class?
A. To recall his own school days. B. To prove his teaching ability.
C. To compare with the actual class. D. To describe his favorite students.
5. What was the author's initial class like?
A. Flexible and open. B. Inactive and boring.
C. Passive and disorderly. D. Creative and relaxing.
6. What did Harry Potter-themed activities bring to the students?
A. Improvement in physical fitness. B. Wide recognition from parents.
C. A sense of identity and belonging. D. The desire to create science fictions.
7. What does the author learn from his teaching experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Early birds catch the worm.
C. Applying knowledge to life is essential. D. Teaching is to inspire engagement.
C. The Face-down Generation
If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(发短信和自拍) to become successful in real life—or "IRL", as you would say?
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.
So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL(laugh out loud).

When animals are in danger, they can run away. Trees can't do that, but they have their own ways to protect themselves. Oak trees, for example, fight back against caterpillars(毛虫) by opening their leaves three days later the year after being badly eaten, according to a new study from Germany's University of Wurzburg.
Between 2017 and 2021, the scientists used satellites to study six forest sites in Germany. The satellites could see the tree tops clearly, even when it was cloudy. In total, they looked at around 27,500 trees with a total area of 2,400 square kilometers. The year 2019 offered a special research opportunity, as a major outbreak of gypsy moths(吉普赛蛾) hit the country. The satellites recorded how some trees lost all their leaves and how they grew back the next year.
The study found a pattern: If an oak tree lost many leaves to caterpillars, it would open its leaves three days later the next spring. This small delay(延迟) made a big difference, reducing the damage from caterpillars by 55 percent, reported New Scientist. That's because the caterpillars hatched(孵化) at the same time as the year before, only to find there were no fresh leaves to eat.
Previous studies have also found that some trees use chemicals for self-protection. For example, acacia trees in Africa release special chemicals into their leaves when animals like giraffes try to eat them. Acacia trees also send out chemical signals through the air to warn nearby trees to do the same, according to a Facebook post shared by World Wildlife Day.
12. How do oak trees defend themselves against caterpillars?
A. They grow new leaves three days later. B. They lose all leaves to stay alive.
C. They send signals to other trees for help. D. They produce harmful chemicals in leaves.
13. Why did 2019 become a special time for the research?
A. Scientists studied six forest sites. B. All trees leafed out earlier than usual.
C. A major gypsy moths outbreak occurred in Germany. D. Satellites performed well on cloudy days.
14. Why does the author mention acacia trees in the last paragraph?
A. To present a different type of defensive strategy. B. To compare the timeline of various tree responses.
C. To prove that chemical signals travel through air. D. To show that acacia trees are also attacked by animals.
15. In which part of a magazine is the passage most likely taken from?
A. Travel & Leisure. B. Nature & Science. C. Health & Medicine. D. Environment & Life.

第三部分:读后续写汉译英(共5小题,每小题4分,满分20分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容将所给中文翻译成英语,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Emma. She lived in a small town in England, where life was quiet and simple. Emma was fascinated by languages. She spent hours reading books and listening to foreign songs, hoping that one day she could speak many different languages.
One summer, Emma's family decided to go on a trip to a faraway country. It was a place Emma had never heard of before. When they arrived, Emma was immediately struck by how different everything was. The people spoke a language she had never heard, and the words sounded beautiful, but strange. She tried to understand, but nothing made sense. It was so different from anything she had learned before, and Emma felt a bit lost.
One day, as Emma walked through the village, she met an old man named Mr. Liu. He was sitting outside his house, smiling at everyone who passed by. When Emma saw him, she shyly waved and said, "Hello." Mr. Liu smiled back and said, "Hello, young lady. Are you new here?" Emma nodded. "I am learning your language, but it's so difficult," she said sadly. Mr. Liu chuckled softly and said, "Language is like a key. The more you practise, the easier it becomes to open the door to the new world."
Mr. Liu offered to teach Emma a few words every day. Emma was excited but also nervous. What if she couldn't learn as fast as she wanted? The next day, Mr. Liu began with simple words: "hello" "thank you" and "goodbye". Emma repeated after him, carefully copying the sounds, but it wasn't easy. She kept making mistakes, and every time she did, she felt embarrassed.
That evening, Emma couldn't hide her disappointment. Mr. Liu noticed her sadness and smiled gently and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't be upset," he said. "Learning a language is not about perfection. It's about communication. You are doing well, and with each mistake, you are learning more. Think about how you learned your first language—you didn't learn it overnight. It takes time."
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: The next day, Emma decided to try again. She met Mr. Liu and 46.____(耐心地复习了他们之前练习过的单词). This time, Emma spoke slowly and carefully, determined to get them right. As she walked through the village, she gathered the courage to greet a shopkeeper in the local language. To her surprise, the woman smiled warmly and responded, making Emma feel a little more confident. Mr. Liu nodded approvingly, saying, "See? 47.____(每向前迈出一步都会让你离理解更进一步)."
Paragraph 2: By the end of the summer, Emma could hold simple conversations with the locals. 48.____(她可以询问路线、在集市上点菜,甚至讲述有关自己家乡的故事). The villagers appreciated her efforts, treating her as one of their own. As she packed her bags to leave, she thanked Mr. Liu, who reminded her, "The key to language is not just words—it's connection." As Emma waved goodbye, she knew this was only the beginning. 49.____(艾玛挥手告别时,她明白这仅仅是个开始). Language was not just something to study—it was a door to new friendships, experiences, and worlds waiting to be explored. 50.____(它是一扇通往新友谊、新体验以及有待探索的世界的门户).
