I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students,I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest,she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly. Panicked,I called out to the front for help,but there was no response,and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately,two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace,they shared their own experiences,from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak. "You know,one of them said,looking at my daughter,"I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace,you'll get there too." "Yeah,don't let your lack of experience stop you,"the other added."It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright.In fact,it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That's how we improve and grow."Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However,the two students addressed the celebrating group directly,emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle. I was totally amazed at their bravery,and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage,I've come to realize,has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage,we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the worid a little better. 24.Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage? A.To argue for the true essence of courage. B.To question the common belief of courage C.To show the changing meaning of courage. D.To compare different interpretations of courage. 25.What did the two students suggest the daughter do? A.Challenge her own limits. B.Seek help whenever possible. C.Keep to a suitable pace. D.Stick with experienced climbers 26.Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage? A.The mother asked the girl to rest. B.The girl tried hard not to fall behind. C.The group celebrated the reach of the top. D.The two students pointed out the group's fault. 27.What does the author intend to tell us? A.Kindness connects us all. B.Being a beginner takes courage. C.With courage,everyone can be perfect.D.We don't have to be a hero to be brave. C One of the biggest challenges that traditional educators face is how to unlock students'love of learning.Once students overcome their fear or unwillingness,they will be on the track of becoming motivated learners. In order to help students discover the joy in learning,some teachers are turning to a simple but effective strategy()called gamification-using game-related elements such as activities and rewards()to promote students?engagement in class.With an origin in educational psychology,this approach is designed to reach students by making the leaming process funny and interesting 高二英语第4页（共10页） ▣减 Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 What's more,researches show that gamification can also make assignments less stressful.Without too much pressure,students will associate learning with curiosity and joy. Accordingly,they feel like continuing the journey because positive feelings have boosted their confidence. But like any other strategies,gamification has its drawbacks when used incorrectly.It is very likely that some students only focus on winning rewards but have no interest in understanding concepts or learning new skills-exactly the opposite of the desired outcome.To avoid this,teachers can help prevent students from becoming wrongly motivated by choosing suitable rewards.Instead of class parties or snacks,try rewards that help students develop a passion for academic subjects. For example,have students earn points towards a class field trip by behaving and doing their assignments,or pair subjects that a student dislikes with fun books or activities to encourage motivation.That way,they associate()fun with reading,math,or other skills. More examples include competing on a leader-board,holding a talent show,or playing other team-building games.All activities and rewards need to be carefully selected and well arranged. If you're having a hard time getting your class interested in learning,talk with them together or individually about what motivates them and include it into your student engagement strategies. 28.What can we learn about gamification from the first two paragraphs? A.It improves students'critical thinking. B.It advocates a traditional teaching style. C.It motivates students to be active learners. D.It promotes the use of video games in class. 29.What is the author's attitude to the application of gamification? A.Obiective. B.Worried. C.Doubtful D.Favorable. 30.How should teachers avoid the drawbacks(不利因素)of gamification'? A.Set learning goals for different students. B.Associate learning process with assignments C.Encourage teamwork by holding class parties. D.Select suitable rewards for teaching activities. 31.What is the text mainly about? A.The analysis of a teaching strategy. B.The future influences of gamification C.A discovery about motivating learners. D.A recent research on education system. D Giraffes have one of the most recognizable shapes on the planet."They walk so gracefully that it looks like they are floating across the savanna(热带草原)，”says Michael Brown,an ecologist with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation(GCF). Our familiarity with these tall animals can sometimes hide their declining numbers,masking a"silent extinction()".Expanding agriculture and human communities across Africa have destroyed or fragmented large areas of the savanna where giraffes find food,causing a 40 percent deeline in giraffe species since 1985.Nubian giraffes,a critically endangered subspecies found in South Sudan,Ethiopia,Uganda and Kenya,have lost an estimated 95percent of their population.Today they're down to perhaps 3,000 animals. This crisis recently led GCF to partner with African Parks,a conservation group managing 高二英语第5页（共10页） ▣▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ Badingilo and Boma National Parks in South Sudan.They aim to track(),study and protect the giraffes. Tracking giraffes presents a challenge.GPS collars typically go around the neck,but giraffe necks,six feet long and varying in thickness,aren't suited for collars;the devices slide down when the animal lowers its head,Researchers tried anklets(),chest harnesses and even tags()on their homn-like nubs,but nothing worked for long,says Sara Ferguson,a GCF wildlife veterinarian. Recent technological advances have shrunk()trackers to the size of a candy bar,small enough to attach to the tail or an ear.The new tags are solar-powered,less noticeable and should last a year or more.In April,2024,Ferguson and others from African Parks attached trackers to 11 Nubian giraffes.The data collected will help identify key habitats()and routes within the parks'7.4 million acres,potentially driving their expansion and showing where extra patrols to limit illegal hunting or community education to encourage local support for conservation can save giraffe lives."We can't save what we don't understand,"says Julian Fennessy,co-founder and conservation director of GCF."We need these data to protect this landscape before if's too late.” 32.What has caused a 40 percent decline in giraffe species since 1985? A.Illegal hunting.B.Climate change. C.habitat loss. D.Disease outbreaks 33.Why are traditional GPS collars unsuitable for giraffes? A.They are too heavy. B.They fall off easily. C.They provide inaccurate data. D.They affect the giraffes'movement. 34.What is the main goal of tracking the giraffes? A.To monitor their health status. B.To detect threats from other species C.To study their social structure. D.To identify their key habitats and routes 35.Which would be the best title for the text? A.The silent extinction of Nubian giraffes B.Technology for wildlife protection C.Giraffe-tracking innovations(创新) D.Joint conservation efforts 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。 With everything going on in the world,it's no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. 36 And it's hard to fall back asleep again.However,simple steps before bed can help. Test your pillow.If you bought your pillow in 2022,it's already old.The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years.37 "When your brain is sending pain signals,it can't send sleep signals,says Dr Michael J Breus,a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist. Get an hour of sunlight each day.Morning sunlight is important for good sleep."It stops producing melatonin in your brain,which helps relieve the sleepy morning feeling,"Breus says. It also sets a mental time to produce melatonin,the so-called sleep hormone,that evening.Aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light first and two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day.38 Skip salty snacks before bed.In a Japanese study,researchers followed 321 patients with 高二英语第6页（共10页） ▣儿 Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣ high-salt diets and sleep issues for 12 weeks.39 And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom. 40 If you need to air complaints to your family,don't wait until night.Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate()themt earlier.
