W: You are not alone in that. It is said that 95% of teenagers either own or have access to a smartphone. Some schools have put in place policies banning or controlling phone use during school hours.
M: I’m all in favor of these policies.
W: Yeah, more and more schools have begun doing this. A friend of mine works at a school and he told me that these policies had brought about positive changes.

【原文】W: Brett, what have you been up to recently?
M: Well, I’ve been working on an English conversation book. But now I’m torn between self-publishing and going through a traditional publishing house.
W: Self-publishing definitely means more work for you. And you could have used that energy to write even more books!
M: You’re right. And without guaranteed sales, it’s a bit risky. I’ll definitely think twice.
W: By the way, is the book suitable for low level students who need to work on their English pronunciation and speaking skills?
M: This book is custom-made for them. The book includes written dialogues, and there’s an accompanying CD of every dialogue. So students can read along and listen at the same time.
W: Cool! I’d love to check it out when it’s on sale. Maybe I can even recommend it to some of my friends who are learning English.

【原文】W: China has made such significant contributions to the world throughout history.
M: Really? Like what?
W: Well, for starters, the Chinese invented paper around two thousand years ago. Can you imagine life without paper?
M: That’s incredible. But that was long ago. What about the present?
W: In modern times, China is a leader in technology. They’ve produced some of the world’s most advanced electronics and useful devices. The train we are traveling on now is Chinese.
M: That’s impressive. What else have they contributed?
W: Chinese cuisine is another great example. Where would the world be without Chinese restaurants?
M: Ah, yes. Chinese food is especially rich and delicious. I take my family out for Chinese food several times a month.
W: Me, too. And let’s not forget traditional Chinese medicine, which has been practiced for thousands of years and continues to influence healthcare globally.
M: I never realized the extent of China’s contributions to the world.
W: It’s truly remarkable, from the ancient inventions that shaped civilization to the modern innovations driving global industries.
M: Absolutely. All those things show the rich cultural heritage and the intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese people.

A.To figure out the number of lost library items.
B.To catch the public’s attention on cat adoption.
C.To encourage people to go back to the library.
20.What borrowed items did Julie lose?
A.Books. B.DVDs. C.CDs.
【答案】17.A 18.A 19.C 20.B
【原文】 W: The Worcester Public Library announced that through the end of March, people who have lost or damaged a book or other borrowed items can bring a photograph, drawing or magazine clipping of a cat, and make their library cards work again without paying fines. The library called the program March Meowness, a way to forgive people who lost or damaged borrowed items by accident. Jason Homer, the executive director of the library, said in an interview on Monday that about 400 people had their library accounts unblocked and could borrow books again after bringing in their pictures or drawings of cats. In one case, a cat-less 7-year-old boy, who lost the book Captain Underpants, had his library card work again after the staff gave him paper and a pencil to draw a cat.
Like many public libraries in the United States, the Worcester Public Library is trying to encourage people to return there after the pandemic. The library had previously tried to raise the number of visitors with canned food drives. The library staff held meetings for several months to come up with different creative ways to get people back through the library doors. After these meetings, the Meowness program took shape. While the library had previously stopped charging fines for late returns, many people who faced fees for lost items simply stayed away. One woman named Julie, who had lost library DVDs by accident, regained access to her account with a photograph of a cat.

David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
24.What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Clear speaking voices. B.Low dull sounds.
C.Enthusiastic responses. D.High spirits.
25.Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A.“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons...” B.“See if you can describe their shells…”
C.“Go outside and look at the sky...” D.“Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories ...”
26.From paragraph 9, we can learn that ______.
A.David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B.David had thought poorly of school before
C.David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D.David had shown his father his homework
27.What is the main idea of this story?
A.Science is all around us. B.School provides us with the best education.
C.There is more than one way to learn. D.Homework is an important part of education.
【答案】24.B 25.A 26.B 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了大卫对传统课堂的死记硬背感到乏味,新校长采用户外观察的新颖教学方式,激发了他的学习兴趣,让他体会到学习方式的多样性。
24.词句猜测题。根据第一段“The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy.(小男孩读字母、大男孩背拉丁语动词的drone让他昏昏欲睡)”可知,能使人犯困的是低沉单调的声音。故选B项。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段““It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. (校长说:“太热了,坐着背功课可不行”“下节课我们要搬到户外去。”他领着那群男生走进校园)”可知,校长结合天气状况改变教学方式,将课堂移至户外,体现出他对孩子的理解。故选A项。
26.推理判断题。根据第九段“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all, (这么说约翰·亚当斯先生和他的新教法终究让学校对你有了用处)”可知,父亲的玩笑话表明大卫此前觉得学校毫无用处。故选B项。
27.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,新校长摒弃传统死记硬背的教学模式,用观察昆虫、仰望星空等户外方式教学,让学生爱上学习,体现出学习的方式并非只有一种。故选C项。
C
The old English proverb “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” has been used since the 16th century to describe the difficulty of getting someone to act in their own best interests. Now a new study suggests this proverb has been underestimating horses for centuries.
“Previous research suggested horses simply respond to stimuli in the moment and that they don’t proactively look ahead, think ahead and plan their actions,” said Louise Evans, the lead researcher from Nottingham Trent University that analyzed the animal’s responses to a reward-based game. However, the new study shows they do have an awareness of the consequences and outcomes of their actions.
The three-stage game involved 20 horses, who were initially rewarded with a treat merely for touching a piece of card with their noses. Then in the second stage, researchers started switching on a “stop light”. The horses were only given a snack if they touched the card while the stop light was off.
At first, they ignored the light and touched the card randomly, regardless of whether the light was on. But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty (处罚) for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second timeout during which the horses could not play the game at all — the team found there was a sudden and highly significant reduction in errors. The horses started correctly touching the card only at the right time to get a treat.
The study suggests that, rather than failing to grasp the essence of the game, the horses had understood the rules the whole time but had not seen any need to pay much attention to them in the second stage. “When there was a timeout for getting something wrong, they started,” said Evans.
Evans hopes the groundbreaking study will help to improve welfare for horses. “Generally, when we start to think animals may have better cognitive abilities than originally thought, their welfare will improve. We also show that, in training, you really don’t need to use anything too harsh to get really good performance out of horses.”
28.Why is an old proverb mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To present a previous understanding. B.To illustrate a common concept.
C.To compare two diverse perceptions. D.To explain an old phenomenon.
29.Why did horses make mistakes in the game?
A.They perceived the game wrongly.
B.They wanted to get more treats purposely.
C.They chose to ignore the rules consciously.
D.They disobeyed the rules casually.
30.What is the function of the timeout penalty in the game?
A.Raising horses’ rule consciousness of the game.
B.Testing horses’ cognition of different situations.
C.Providing rewards to stimulate horses’ response.
D.Refining rules to regulate horses’ action.
31.What is Evans’ opinion on the study result?
A.Potentially beneficial. B.Highly practical.
C.Fairly profitable. D.Completely operational.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.B 31.A
【导语】本文主要讲述了一项新研究推翻了人们对马的传统认知,证明马具备预判、理解规则与调整行为的认知能力,并指出该研究对改善马的福利具有积极意义。
【详解】28.推理判断题。根据第一段中的The old English proverb “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” has been used since the 16th century to describe the difficulty of getting someone to act in their own best interests. Now a new study suggests this proverb has been underestimating horses for centuries.(古老的英语谚语“牵马到河易,逼马饮水难”自16世纪起就被用来描述让某人做出符合自身最大利益的行为有多困难。现在一项新研究表明,几个世纪以来这句谚语一直低估了马)可知,提到谚语是为了呈现人们以往对马的认知,引出新研究的不同观点。
29.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The study suggests that, rather than failing to grasp the essence of the game, the horses had understood the rules the whole time but had not seen any need to pay much attention to them in the second stage.(研究表明,马并非没有理解游戏的本质,它们一直都懂规则,只是在第二阶段认为没有必要刻意关注规则)”可知,马犯错是因为有意识地选择忽略规则。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second timeout during which the horses could not play the game at all — the team found there was a sudden and highly significant reduction in errors. The horses started correctly touching the card only at the right time to get a treat.(但在第三阶段,当研究人员对在红灯亮起时触碰卡片的行为设置了惩罚措施 —— 即暂停10秒钟,在此期间马匹完全无法参与游戏 —— 研究团队发现错误率突然大幅下降。马匹开始只在正确的时间触碰卡片以获取奖励)”可知,暂停惩罚让马意识到不同情况的区别,从而调整自己的行为。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Evans hopes the groundbreaking study will help to improve welfare for horses. Generally, when we start to think animals may have better cognitive abilities than originally thought, their welfare will improve.(埃文斯希望这项开创性研究将有助于改善马的福利。通常,当我们开始认为动物的认知能力可能比原本认为的更强时,它们的福利就会得到改善)”可知,埃文斯认为该研究结果具有潜在益处。

On Earth Day — April 22 — the XPrize Foundation, which holds contests that encourage people to come up with new ideas to solve big problems, announced the winners of its Carbon Removal contest. A company called Mati Carbon won the $50 million prize. Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food.
The company uses a very common kind of volcanic rock called basalt. Basalt is used worldwide to construct roads and buildings. Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use.
Luckily, this is exactly what Mati Carbon needs. The company removes carbon by spreading this rock powder on farm fields. The powder pulls CO₂ out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years. Mati’s method of carbon removal is called “enhanced rock weathering”.
The results aren’t just good for the environment — they’re also good for the farmers. Farmers who use the basalt powder on their fields grow roughly 25% more food. In areas with poor soil, farmers can grow as much as 70% more. Mati Carbon is already spreading basalt powder on farms in several countries, including India, Tanzania, and Zambia. The company is focused on working with small farmers in poorer countries, putting the powder on their farmlands for free. To pay for this, the company sells “carbon credits”. Since Mati Carbon is removing pollution, large companies that create pollution buy credits to “offset” their pollution so they can be “carbon neutral”.
One of the things that impressed the XPrize judges is how the company carefully tracks and records the impact it is having. So far, Mati Carbon has removed over 1,000 metric tons of CO₂. But the company believes that number will grow rapidly. It is planning to begin work in three more countries soon and allow other companies to use its methods to reach even more areas.
32.What is the material used by the winning company?
A.A common volcanic rock called basalt.
B.A waste powder from construction material production.
C.A chemical compound developed specially for carbon removal.
D.A type of soil found only in poorer countries.
33.What is the main purpose of Mati Carbon’s method?
A.To cut down the cost of basalt processing for construction.
B.To develop a new technology to produce carbon credits.
C.To remove carbon dioxide and help increase crop yields.
D.To help poor countries improve their farming efficiency.
34.How does Mati Carbon’s method work?
A.It filters CO₂ directly from the air with farm-based equipment.
B.It spreads basalt powder on farms to absorb CO₂ from soil water.
C.It uses special bacteria to break down CO₂ in the farmland soil.
D.It adds basalt powder to road materials to trap CO₂ in the air.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Powerful Idea Wins Carbon Removal XPrize.
B.Great Chance Exists in the Green Agriculture.
C.Mati Carbon Has More Carbon Credits to Sell.
D.Joint Effort Pays off in Breaking up the Basalt.
【答案】32.B 33.C 34.B 35.A
【导语】文章讲述在世界地球日——4月22日,举办竞赛鼓励人们提出解决重大问题新想法的XPrize基金会,揭晓了其碳清除大赛的获胜者。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use.(加工玄武岩的企业常会产生无法利用的玄武岩细粉末)”以及第三段“Luckily, this is exactly what Mati Carbon needs.(幸运的是,这正是马蒂碳业公司所需要的材料)”可知,该公司使用的材料是建材生产所产生的废弃粉末。
33.细节理解题。根据第一段“Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food.(他们的方法很简单,但可以清除大量的二氧化碳,还能帮助农民种植更多的粮食)”可知,这项方法的主要目的是清除二氧化碳并帮助提高农作物产量。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段“The company removes carbon by spreading this rock powder on farm fields. The powder pulls CO₂ out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years.(该公司通过将这种岩石粉末撒在农田上来清除碳。这种粉末从土壤的水分中提取二氧化碳,并以一种可以持续数千年的方式储存起来)”可知,其运作方式是在农田上撒玄武岩粉末,以吸收土壤水分中的二氧化碳。
35.主旨大意题。全文围绕XPrize碳清除大赛展开,核心讲述马蒂碳业公司凭借简单有效的固碳方法(撒玄武岩粉末)赢得大奖,介绍了该方法的优势和发展前景,A选项“有力的创意赢得碳清除XPrize大奖”最贴合全文主旨,适合用作标题。
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。
A group can have a lively discussion and still forget what it decided. Ideas are exchanged, heads nod, and everyone leaves with a slightly different memory. A brief decision log (决策记录) can prevent this problem without turning a meeting into a writing exercise.
36 Instead of writing “website discussion,” write “Which two features must be ready for the first website test?” A clear question gives the group a shared target and makes the final decision easier to recognise.
During the discussion, record only the main alternatives and the strongest reason for each. Do not produce a word-for-word transcript (文稿). 37 It also allows people who missed the meeting to see the real choice rather than a pile of conversation.
When the group chooses, write the decision, the reason, and the person responsible for the next step. 38 Without an owner, a decision may be perfectly clear and still produce no action.
A decision log should remain open to revision. If new evidence appears, note what changed and why the group is choosing differently. 39 In fact, a visible revision often shows that the team is responding to evidence rather than protecting pride.
End the meeting with a two-minute check of the log. Ask whether the wording matches what people believe they agreed to do. 40 That small check can save a much longer argument later.
A.This keeps the record short enough to be useful.
B.The loudest speaker should therefore write the final decision.
C.Begin by turning the issue into a question that can be answered.
D.A longer record is usually more trustworthy than a selective one.
E.Changing a decision is not the same as having made no decision.
F.Correcting one unclear sentence is easier while everyone is present.
G.The last detail matters because naming an owner connects choice with action.
【答案】36.C 37.A 38.G 39.E 40.F
【导语】本文介绍会议决策记录的实用写法,帮助团队留存共识、落实行动,避免会后记忆偏差。
【详解】36.由下文“Instead of writing “website discussion,” write “Which two features must be ready for the first website test?” A clear question gives the group a shared target and makes the final decision easier to recognise.(不要写“网站讨论”,而要写“网站首次测试必须备好哪两项功能?”一个清晰的问题为团队提供共同目标,也更容易识别最终决议)”可知,空格处说明要把议题转化为可作答的问题。C项“Begin by turning the issue into a question that can be answered.(首先把议题转化成一个可以作答的问题)”符合语境,总领本段,有启下作用。
37.由上文“Do not produce a word‑for‑word transcript (文稿).(不要逐字记录文稿)”以及下文“It also allows people who missed the meeting to see the real choice rather than a pile of conversation.(它还能让缺席会议的人看清真正的抉择,而不是一堆闲聊内容)”可知,空格处说明不逐字记录带来的好处。A项“This keeps the record short enough to be useful.(这让记录保持简短,具备实际用处)”符合语境,This指代前文不做逐字文稿,also提示前后并列益处。
38.由上文“When the group chooses, write the decision, the reason, and the person responsible for the next step.(团队做出选择时,写下决议、理由以及负责下一步的人员)”以及下文“Without an owner, a decision may be perfectly clear and still produce no action.(没有负责人,即便决议十分清晰,依旧无法产生实际行动)”可知,空格处强调指定负责人的重要意义。G项“The last detail matters because naming an owner connects choice with action.(最后这一细节很重要,指定负责人能把抉择和行动联系起来)”符合语境,“naming an owner”对应the person responsible,有承上启下作用。
39.由上文“If new evidence appears, note what changed and why the group is choosing differently.(如果出现新依据,记下改动内容以及团队做出不同选择的缘由)”以及下文“In fact, a visible revision often shows that the team is responding to evidence rather than protecting pride.(事实上,公开修改记录往往表明团队依据事实调整,而非维护面子)”可知,空格处表达修改决议不等于没有做出决议。E项“Changing a decision is not the same as having made no decision.(修改决议并不等同于没有做出决议)”符合语境,承接修改记录的做法,引出下文对修改行为的正面评价。
40.由上文“End the meeting with a two‑minute check of the log. Ask whether the wording matches what people believe they agreed to do.(会议结尾花两分钟核对决策记录,确认文字表述是否和大家认同的内容一致)”以及下文“That small check can save a much longer argument later.(这一小步核对可以避免日后耗时更久的争执)”可知,空格处说明所有人在场时修正记录的优势。F项“Correcting one unclear sentence is easier while everyone is present.(趁所有人都在场,修正一处表述不清的句子会更加容易)”符合语境,“while everyone is present”对应会议结尾现场核对,That指代本句做法。

What we often overlook can make a big difference.
My suggestion is to set up a “Shared Stationery Corner” in every classroom. All it takes is a box filled with extra pens, rulers and erasers donated by classmates; those in need may borrow an item and return it afterwards. Run by student volunteers, the corner can be ready in a week.

67.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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman Park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their faces lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they co-operated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.

After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. Finally, it was time for him to do the presentation. Standing in front of several experts from Go Green, Peter was nervous in fear of screwing things up. But unbelievably, when he began to speak, everything went so smoothly. His voice was clear and influential, and his speech was logical and well-organized. Peter ended his presentation with a deep bow and went out to wait for Go Green’s decision.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Their ideas were approved and Go Green agreed to provide the money they needed to purchase the trash bin. Peter smiled. It meant not only their efforts paid off, but also Tubman Park would restore its cleanliness and tidiness. Peter and Isabel decided to tell Mrs. Evans this good news first and then worked out the next step they needed to take.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述彼得和伊莎贝尔发现儿时玩耍的公园脏乱不堪、垃圾堆积严重。二人尝试向市政厅求助无果后,在埃文斯老师的指导下寻求环保公益组织Go Green的帮助,分工合作调研方案、精心准备宣讲,立志改善公园环境的故事。

②由第二段首句内容可知,本段可描写二人收到公益组织的资助批复,努力终获回报,计划继续推进后续改造工作。
2. 续写线索:紧张等候——登台宣讲——流畅表达——顺利结束——收到喜讯——获得资助——努力见效——规划后续
3. 词汇激活

David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!
He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from Harvard College. David’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.
“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles (幼虫和甲虫). Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells (壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology (神话), names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David’s father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look at the sky.
“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”
“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David’s father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”
24.What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Clear speaking voices. B.Low dull sounds.
C.Enthusiastic responses. D.High spirits.
25.Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A.“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons...” B.“See if you can describe their shells…”
C.“Go outside and look at the sky...” D.“Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories ...”
26.From paragraph 9, we can learn that ______.
A.David’s father had met the new schoolmaster B.David had thought poorly of school before
C.David’s father was not satisfied with the new ways D.David had shown his father his homework
27.What is the main idea of this story?
A.Science is all around us. B.School provides us with the best education.
C.There is more than one way to learn. D.Homework is an important part of education.

The old English proverb “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” has been used since the 16th century to describe the difficulty of getting someone to act in their own best interests. Now a new study suggests this proverb has been underestimating horses for centuries.
“Previous research suggested horses simply respond to stimuli in the moment and that they don’t proactively look ahead, think ahead and plan their actions,” said Louise Evans, the lead researcher from Nottingham Trent University that analyzed the animal’s responses to a reward-based game. However, the new study shows they do have an awareness of the consequences and outcomes of their actions.
The three-stage game involved 20 horses, who were initially rewarded with a treat merely for touching a piece of card with their noses. Then in the second stage, researchers started switching on a “stop light”. The horses were only given a snack if they touched the card while the stop light was off.
At first, they ignored the light and touched the card randomly, regardless of whether the light was on. But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty (处罚) for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second timeout during which the horses could not play the game at all — the team found there was a sudden and highly significant reduction in errors. The horses started correctly touching the card only at the right time to get a treat.
The study suggests that, rather than failing to grasp the essence of the game, the horses had understood the rules the whole time but had not seen any need to pay much attention to them in the second stage. “When there was a timeout for getting something wrong, they started,” said Evans.
Evans hopes the groundbreaking study will help to improve welfare for horses. “Generally, when we start to think animals may have better cognitive abilities than originally thought, their welfare will improve. We also show that, in training, you really don’t need to use anything too harsh to get really good performance out of horses.”
28.Why is an old proverb mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To present a previous understanding. B.To illustrate a common concept.
C.To compare two diverse perceptions. D.To explain an old phenomenon.
29.Why did horses make mistakes in the game?
A.They perceived the game wrongly.
B.They wanted to get more treats purposely.
C.They chose to ignore the rules consciously.
D.They disobeyed the rules casually.
30.What is the function of the timeout penalty in the game?
A.Raising horses’ rule consciousness of the game.
B.Testing horses’ cognition of different situations.
C.Providing rewards to stimulate horses’ response.
D.Refining rules to regulate horses’ action.
31.What is Evans’ opinion on the study result?
A.Potentially beneficial. B.Highly practical.
C.Fairly profitable. D.Completely operational.

On Earth Day — April 22 — the XPrize Foundation, which holds contests that encourage people to come up with new ideas to solve big problems, announced the winners of its Carbon Removal contest. A company called Mati Carbon won the $50 million prize. Their method is simple, but it could remove huge amounts of carbon dioxide and also help farmers grow more food.
The company uses a very common kind of volcanic rock called basalt. Basalt is used worldwide to construct roads and buildings. Companies that break up the basalt often have a fine powder of basalt left over that they can’t use.
Luckily, this is exactly what Mati Carbon needs. The company removes carbon by spreading this rock powder on farm fields. The powder pulls CO₂ out of the water in the soil and stores it in a way that will last for thousands of years. Mati’s method of carbon removal is called “enhanced rock weathering”.
The results aren’t just good for the environment — they’re also good for the farmers. Farmers who use the basalt powder on their fields grow roughly 25% more food. In areas with poor soil, farmers can grow as much as 70% more. Mati Carbon is already spreading basalt powder on farms in several countries, including India, Tanzania, and Zambia. The company is focused on working with small farmers in poorer countries, putting the powder on their farmlands for free. To pay for this, the company sells “carbon credits”. Since Mati Carbon is removing pollution, large companies that create pollution buy credits to “offset” their pollution so they can be “carbon neutral”.
One of the things that impressed the XPrize judges is how the company carefully tracks and records the impact it is having. So far, Mati Carbon has removed over 1,000 metric tons of CO₂. But the company believes that number will grow rapidly. It is planning to begin work in three more countries soon and allow other companies to use its methods to reach even more areas.
32.What is the material used by the winning company?
A.A common volcanic rock called basalt.
B.A waste powder from construction material production.
C.A chemical compound developed specially for carbon removal.
D.A type of soil found only in poorer countries.
33.What is the main purpose of Mati Carbon’s method?
A.To cut down the cost of basalt processing for construction.
B.To develop a new technology to produce carbon credits.
C.To remove carbon dioxide and help increase crop yields.
D.To help poor countries improve their farming efficiency.
34.How does Mati Carbon’s method work?
A.It filters CO₂ directly from the air with farm-based equipment.
B.It spreads basalt powder on farms to absorb CO₂ from soil water.
C.It uses special bacteria to break down CO₂ in the farmland soil.
D.It adds basalt powder to road materials to trap CO₂ in the air.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Powerful Idea Wins Carbon Removal XPrize.
B.Great Chance Exists in the Green Agriculture.
C.Mati Carbon Has More Carbon Credits to Sell.
D.Joint Effort Pays off in Breaking up the Basalt.

A group can have a lively discussion and still forget what it decided. Ideas are exchanged, heads nod, and everyone leaves with a slightly different memory. A brief decision log (决策记录) can prevent this problem without turning a meeting into a writing exercise.
36 Instead of writing “website discussion,” write “Which two features must be ready for the first website test?” A clear question gives the group a shared target and makes the final decision easier to recognise.
During the discussion, record only the main alternatives and the strongest reason for each. Do not produce a word-for-word transcript (文稿). 37 It also allows people who missed the meeting to see the real choice rather than a pile of conversation.
When the group chooses, write the decision, the reason, and the person responsible for the next step. 38 Without an owner, a decision may be perfectly clear and still produce no action.
A decision log should remain open to revision. If new evidence appears, note what changed and why the group is choosing differently. 39 In fact, a visible revision often shows that the team is responding to evidence rather than protecting pride.
End the meeting with a two-minute check of the log. Ask whether the wording matches what people believe they agreed to do. 40 That small check can save a much longer argument later.
A.This keeps the record short enough to be useful.
B.The loudest speaker should therefore write the final decision.
C.Begin by turning the issue into a question that can be answered.
D.A longer record is usually more trustworthy than a selective one.
E.Changing a decision is not the same as having made no decision.
F.Correcting one unclear sentence is easier while everyone is present.
G.The last detail matters because naming an owner connects choice with action.

On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman Park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their faces lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they co-operated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
