For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots. Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him simply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes. This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recall a great many wise rules, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through. The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way. I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consistently picture myself standing in their position, and feel pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people. 4. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning? A. To create an unexpected sharp contrast. B. To lead in the following personal story. C. To provide related supporting statistics. D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples. 5. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame? A. Calm and worried. B. Furious and defensive. C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless. 6. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy? A. Having too many things to do. B. Lacking enough life experience. C. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons. 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. A hidden harm of biased judgment. B. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment. C. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed. D. The importance of patient communication with teenagers. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过发生在自己和儿子身上的一件家庭小事，领悟到换位思考、共情的道理，并且总结出两个避免带有偏见评判他人的小习惯。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person. For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots.(换位思考是一个正直的人最基本的品质。多年来，我一直无法完全理解为什么这么多人没能践行这条简单的准则。在做出评判前设想他人的处境似乎十分容易，直到一件家庭小事迫使我深刻反思自身的盲点)”可知，第一段提到一件家庭小事迫使作者深刻反思自身的盲点，可推理出作者开篇提出共情的价值，目的是引出下文自己的亲身故事。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice.(利奥没有大声反驳，而是低下头，用轻柔疲惫的声音说话)”可知，面对作者的指责，利奥没有发怒，而是低头用轻柔疲惫的声音说话，所以他的态度平静且带着忧虑。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way.(共情的理论听起来简单，但克制突发怒火是阻碍我们的最大障碍)”可知，践行共情最大的难处就是被突发的不良情绪控制。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consistently picture myself standing in their position, and feel pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words.(我慢慢养成两个小习惯来避免带有偏见的评判。在指责任何人之前，我总会设想自己处在对方的位置，切身感受压力。此外，在说出批评话语前，我强迫自己完整停顿十五秒)”可知，本段主要讲述避免偏见评判的实用方法。 C A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out. “What we’ve learned is that the techniques actors use have a powerful effect on how children handle language and how they perceive themselves,” said Siri Lee of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The randomized control trial involved hundreds of year 5 pupils — aged nine and ten — at 45 primary schools that had not been “previously exposed to RSC teaching approach.” They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage. The results showed that the target group of pupils drew on a wider vocabulary, used words “classed as more complicated or rarer”, and wrote at greater length. They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role. While control pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express the character’s emotion”. The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.” Siri Lee said she had been most surprised by the “emotional literacy that was evident in the target children’s writing” and that they were “more resilient in their writing, more hopeful”. She added: “The emotional understanding was very evident and it is probably related to the rehearsal room process where you are used to trying to imagine your way through. They were comfortable in describing different emotional states and part of what you do in drama is put yourself in different shoes.” The study showed the importance of embedding arts in education, she said. But could the results be replicated with any old dramatist? Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”. 8. Why were the pupils divided into two groups? A. To illustrate the popularity of RSC. B. To prove the advantage of acting-out. C. To measure their writing speed. D. To see their understandings of a drama. 9. What did control pupils’ reliance on “deserted island conventions” show? A. Their preference for big words. B. Their casual style of writing. C. Their weakness in description. D. Their ignorance of small details. 10. What can be inferred about Shakespeare’s use of words? A. It overshadows that of other dramatists. B. It is overly challenging to students. C. It enriches children’s daily vocabulary. D. It is definitely scholarship-oriented. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting Out Shakespeare: A Stone, Two Birds B. Follow in Shakespeare’s Footsteps C. Shakespeare: Language Strugglers’ Cure-all D. Shakespeare: Easier Said Than Done 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项新研究证实通过戏剧表演演绎莎士比亚作品，能够有效提升孩子读写能力与情商，并借助分组对照试验的数据佐证该结论，同时探讨了莎士比亚丰富的词汇量对孩子语言学习的独特作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“New research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out.(新研究证实：倘若通过戏剧表演的形式演绎莎士比亚的作品，就能切实提升孩子们的读写能力与情商。)”及第二段“They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage.(他们被分成实验组和对照组，比如要求学生扮演《暴风雨》中遭遇海难后的费迪南德写一封漂流瓶信件，实验组会配合课文开展三十分钟戏剧活动。)”可知，分组是为了对比验证实景演绎戏剧的好处。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.”(这项名为“行动时刻”的研究还发现，对照组学生只会套用棕榈树这类荒岛写作套路，实验组学生描写内容更丰富，能细致描绘天空、大海和环境氛围。)”可知，对照组拘泥固定套路，体现出他们在细节描写方面的短板。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”.(Siri Lee表示还需要更多研究，但提出莎士比亚拥有两万个词汇，远超日常两千常用词，极大拓展了孩子接触到的语言内容，还能配合肢体表演活化文字。)”可知，莎士比亚的用词丰富了孩子们的日常词汇储备。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“New research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out.(一项新研究证实，如果用表演形式演绎莎士比亚作品，能切实提升孩子的读写能力与情商。)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕表演莎翁作品同时提升读写与情商展开，最佳标题为“表演莎士比亚：一举两得” 。 D Mindfulness is such a hot word. We all want it. But while mindfulness may be credited as a key to happiness, mind-wandering is the key to our survival as a species. According to Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, humans evolved to prioritize immediate threats. “Having your attention focused on external events happening in the moment is of great importance during “fight-or-flight” moments,” says Graziano. But the other side of it is also important: when our mind wanders, that, too, is essential to our survival, says Graziano. “It’s partly about remembering how to survive the saber tooth tiger (剑齿虎), but it might also be about social interactions. There are a lot of benefits to mind-wandering so long as you’re not doing it the moment a tiger is attacking you,” says Graziano. Often, when our minds wander, we’re thinking about past and future social interactions and how to conduct them. And this phenomenon isn’t by chance. Emiliano Bruner, a paleoneurobiologist (古神经生物学家), explains that it originates from the brain’s parietal cortex (顶叶皮层). His 2022 study reveals that this region expanded significantly in modern humans, enabling outstanding capacities of visual imaging, along with imagination of past and future. “This is a wonderful superpower for evolution, promoting evolutionary fitness, but it’s also a drawback for individuals because it can cause overthinking, fears and anxiety,” says Bruner. Today, this ability to survive is also the source of a lot of human sufferings. According to Bruner, in psychology, this is called “negativity prejudice” — or our natural instinct to think negatively about the future to remove any threats to our survival. “Evolution did its job, and happiness is not among its priorities,” says Bruner. Bruner says that because mind wandering was important to our evolutionary survival, humans today need to control the damage it can do to our lives. Regular meditation, for example, is a tool that has been proven by research to increase time spent in the present moment and limit the overthinking that brings mental pains. 12. Why does the author mention “fight-or-flight” in paragraph 2? A. To criticize its negative impact on modern mental health. B. To argue that humans no longer rely on evolutionary instincts. C. To compare different roles of mindfulness and mind-wandering. D. To emphasize its role as the only survival strategy humans need. 13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The danger of mind-wandering during attacks. B. The benefits of mindfulness in social interactions C. The connection of social skills to human survival. D. The evolutionary role of mind-wandering in safe periods. 14. Which of the following statements might Bruner agree with? A. We developed “negativity prejudice” after we were born. B. Mind-wandering is a drawback for individuals and should be avoided. C. Evolutionary adaptations prioritize survival over mental well-being. D. The expansion of the parietal cortex in humans enables us to better focus. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Meditation Fixes Evolutionary Flaws B. A Wandering Mind Is Part of Our Evolution C. The Dangers of Overthinking in Modern Life D. The History of Neuroscience and Human Evolution 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了正念备受推崇，但走神是人类进化而来的生存能力。它源于大脑结构演化，有利也易引发焦虑，人们可通过冥想减少其带来的精神困扰。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, humans evolved to prioritize immediate threats. “Having your attention focused on external events happening in the moment is of great importance during “fight-or-flight” moments,” says Graziano. But the other side of it is also important: when our mind wanders, that, too, is essential to our survival, says Graziano.(根据心理学和神经科学教授迈克尔·格拉齐亚诺的说法，人类进化过程中倾向于优先关注眼前的威胁。“在‘战斗或逃跑’的时刻，将注意力集中在当下发生的外部事件上至关重要，”格拉齐亚诺表示。但他也指出，另一面同样重要：当我们的思绪游离时，这对我们生存而言也是必不可少的)”可知，作者在第二段提到“战斗或逃跑”是为了比较正念与走神的不同作用。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““It’s partly about remembering how to survive the saber tooth tiger (剑齿虎), but it might also be about social interactions. There are a lot of benefits to mind-wandering so long as you’re not doing it the moment a tiger is attacking you,” says Graziano. Often, when our minds wander, we’re thinking about past and future social interactions and how to conduct them. And this phenomenon isn’t by chance.(“这在一定程度上关乎如何记住如何躲避剑齿虎，但也可能与社会互动有关。只要不是在老虎攻击你的时候走神，思维漫游其实有很多益处，”格拉齐亚诺说。通常，当我们思绪游离时，我们正在思考过去和未来的社交互动以及该如何应对。而这种现象并非偶然)”可知，第三段的主要观点是心神游离在安全时期中的进化作用。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Evolution did its job, and happiness is not among its priorities(进化只负责保障生存，幸福感从来不在它的首要考量之内)”可知，布鲁纳认为进化适应优先考虑生存而非心理健康。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Mindfulness is such a hot word. We all want it. But while mindfulness may be credited as a key to happiness, mind-wandering is the key to our survival as a species.(正念如今是个热门词汇，人人都向往。虽说正念被视作获得幸福的关键，但思绪游离才是人类得以存续的根本)”结合文章主要说明了正念备受推崇，但走神是人类进化而来的生存能力。它源于大脑结构演化，有利也易引发焦虑，人们可通过冥想减少其带来的精神困扰。可知，B选项“漫游的思绪是我们进化的一部分”最符合文章标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us. ____16____ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ____17____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. ____18____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ____19____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ____20____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques can be tailored based on reading levels. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍阅读教学中的提问技巧，阐释其作用、分类以及培养读者批判性阅读思维的重要意义。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us.(你是否曾看书走神，翻页却没有理解文字内容？这种情况人人都会遇到。)”以及后文“For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading.(对他们而言，阅读不只是读懂文本，还要思辨思考、建立关联并深入研读内容。)”可知，后文出现指代词汇them，空格处需要引出对应的人群，E选项“But imagine students who are just learning to read.(但试想一下正在学习阅读的学生们)”引出学生群体，后文them正好指代这类人群，衔接自然，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills.(就如同运动可以强健肌肉一样，阅读时提问能够提升理解能力。)”可知，后文运用类比的手法进行阐述，F选项“Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain.(可以把提问技巧看作是大脑的思维锻炼)”与后文运动健身的类比句式保持一致，呼应下文内容。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required.(所提出问题的类型会根据阅读思考深度的不同而发生变化。)”以及后文依次列举出字面问题、推理问题、评价问题和预测问题可知，本段主要讲述问题存在不同类别，C选项“Of course, all questions aren’t created equal.(当然，所有的问题并非都是一样的)”总领本段内容，引出下文对不同问题类型的介绍。 【19题详解】 前文依次介绍了多种不同类型的阅读问题，根据后文“But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page.(但这些问题结合在一起，能够打造丰富有趣的阅读体验，远超单纯识别文字的层面。)”可知，空格处说明各类问题有着各自不同的作用，A选项“Each type serves a different purpose.(每一种问题都有着不同的作用)”承接前文多种问题的介绍，与后文转折语句相互呼应。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words.(事实上，阅读远远不只是认识文字这么简单。)”可知，前文否定阅读的浅层含义，空格处需要点明阅读的深层内涵，B选项“It’s about making sense of those words.(阅读是要去理解领悟这些文字背后的含义)”承接上文，对阅读的真正意义进行解释说明。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列文章，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is not flesh and blood, but heart that makes us fathers and sons. — Friedrich von Schiller I built my life on speed — fast boats, fast cars.

Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. Groups gathered around desks piled high with plastic bottles, strings, cardboard boxes, and various waste items. Instead of following strict instructions from expensive commercial kits, they created, tested, and improved their own simple machines. Some used bicycle chains to build a pulley system, while others cut plastic bottles to create a water wheel. When their simple machine successfully lifted a small weight, cheers erupted. Through hands-on creation and repeated attempts, they developed a much deeper understanding of scientific principles. Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before. By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. My students proudly showed off their creations, explaining how they used recycled materials to make something useful. It soon became a hit, inspiring many other classes to collect recycled materials for their own creative activities. The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished. That day, I learned something no teacher training workshop had ever taught me: constraints don’t kill creativity — they set it free. When we involve students as partners in problem-solving, we tap into their creativity and resourcefulness while building genuine investment in their learning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述身为科学老师的作者向来依靠精密器材开展趣味实验。学校预算缩减后实验物资紧缺，作者倍感苦恼。不料学生们主动带来各类废旧物品，合力打造出简易创意实验室。这些废旧材料带来的学习效果，远超以往昂贵的专业实验器材。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：学生们利用废旧物品自主制作简易机械，动手实践中深入领悟科学原理，满怀成就感。 ②由第二段首句内容可以预测续写这段主要内容：班级举办废品创意作品展广受好评，作者领悟到困境反而能激发学生的创造力。 2.续写线索：利用废旧物品创作——深入领悟科学原理——满怀成就感——创意作品展广受好评——作者满怀感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聚集：gather/assemble ②解释：explain/interpret ③鼓舞：inspire/motivate/encourage 情绪类 ①自豪地：proudly/with pride ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Their eyes shone with confidence and pride, which I had rarely seen before.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] The principal visited our classroom and was amazed by what we had accomplished.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级10月练习英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Putting ourselves in others’ shoes is the most basic quality of a decent person. For years, I could never fully understand why so many people failed to practice this simple rule. It seemed easy enough to imagine others’ situations before passing judgment, until a small family incident forced me to reflect deeply on my own blind spots. Last Tuesday evening, I lost my temper over my 14-year-old son Leo. His teachers had sent me three warning messages that week: he frequently handed in unfinished homework and arrived late for morning classes almost every day. I blamed him simply for being lazy and lacking self-discipline, without giving him a single chance to explain. Instead of shouting back, Leo lowered his head and spoke in a soft, tired voice. Our home lies more than 25 kilometers away from his school. The bus ride alone takes one hour each way. The bumpy, noisy bus leaves no quiet space for him to focus on schoolwork. By the time he gets home after rush-hour traffic, it is already dark, and he is too exhausted to finish heavy assignments quickly. His words struck me silent all at once. I suddenly realized I had only focused on his bad performance, totally ignoring the tough struggles hidden behind his mistakes. This conversation brought me a clear insight: everyone can recall a great many wise rules, yet putting them into real action is surprisingly hard. I have long told my family and friends to stay considerate, but whenever I am seized by negative emotions, I instinctively jump to blame others. I fix my eyes on visible results rather than digging out unseen difficulties others are going through. The theory of empathy sounds simple, but self-control against sudden anger is the biggest barrier standing in our way. I have gradually formed two small habits to avoid prejudiced judgment. Before blaming anyone, I will consistently picture myself standing in their position, and feel pressure firsthand. Besides, I force myself to pause for fifteen full seconds before saying any critical words. That short pause can calm my sudden anger, break my fixed prejudice, and leave space for real understanding between people. 4. Why does the author talk about the value of empathy at the very beginning? A. To create an unexpected sharp contrast. B. To lead in the following personal story. C. To provide related supporting statistics. D. To prove a viewpoint with opposite examples. 5. What was Leo’s attitude when faced with the author’s blame? A. Calm and worried. B. Furious and defensive. C. Confused and doubtful. D. Unconcerned and careless. 6. What is the greatest difficulty in practicing empathy? A. Having too many things to do. B. Lacking enough life experience. C. Being controlled by sudden bad emotions. D. Failing to remember valuable life lessons. 7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. A hidden harm of biased judgment. B. Practical methods to avoid biased judgment. C. Long-term benefits of keeping silent when annoyed. D. The importance of patient communication with teenagers. C A new research confirmed that Shakespeare truly boosts children’s reading and writing skills and emotional intelligence provided that his works are acted out. “What we’ve learned is that the techniques actors use have a powerful effect on how children handle language and how they perceive themselves,” said Siri Lee of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The randomized control trial involved hundreds of year 5 pupils — aged nine and ten — at 45 primary schools that had not been “previously exposed to RSC teaching approach.” They were split into target and control groups and asked to write, for example, a message in a bottle as Ferdinand after the shipwreck in The Tempest. The target group was given a 30-minute drama-based activity to accompany the passage. The results showed that the target group of pupils drew on a wider vocabulary, used words “classed as more complicated or rarer”, and wrote at greater length. They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role. While control pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, target children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express the character’s emotion”. The Time to Act study also found that while control pupils relied on “deserted island conventions” such as palm trees, target pupils were “more expansive giving a broader picture of the sky, the sea and the atmospheric conditions.” Siri Lee said she had been most surprised by the “emotional literacy that was evident in the target children’s writing” and that they were “more resilient in their writing, more hopeful”. She added: “The emotional understanding was very evident and it is probably related to the rehearsal room process where you are used to trying to imagine your way through. They were comfortable in describing different emotional states and part of what you do in drama is put yourself in different shoes.” The study showed the importance of embedding arts in education, she said. But could the results be replicated with any old dramatist? Siri Lee said more research would be needed but suggested that the grammar school boy’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a “massive expansion of language into children’s lives”, which was combined with children “using their whole bodies to bring words to life”. 8. Why were the pupils divided into two groups? A. To illustrate the popularity of RSC. B. To prove the advantage of acting-out. C. To measure their writing speed. D. To see their understandings of a drama. 9. What did control pupils’ reliance on “deserted island conventions” show? A. Their preference for big words. B. Their casual style of writing. C. Their weakness in description. D. Their ignorance of small details. 10. What can be inferred about Shakespeare’s use of words? A. It overshadows that of other dramatists. B. It is overly challenging to students. C. It enriches children’s daily vocabulary. D. It is definitely scholarship-oriented. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Acting Out Shakespeare: A Stone, Two Birds B. Follow in Shakespeare’s Footsteps C. Shakespeare: Language Strugglers’ Cure-all D. Shakespeare: Easier Said Than Done D Mindfulness is such a hot word. We all want it. But while mindfulness may be credited as a key to happiness, mind-wandering is the key to our survival as a species. According to Michael Graziano, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, humans evolved to prioritize immediate threats. “Having your attention focused on external events happening in the moment is of great importance during “fight-or-flight” moments,” says Graziano. But the other side of it is also important: when our mind wanders, that, too, is essential to our survival, says Graziano. “It’s partly about remembering how to survive the saber tooth tiger (剑齿虎), but it might also be about social interactions. There are a lot of benefits to mind-wandering so long as you’re not doing it the moment a tiger is attacking you,” says Graziano. Often, when our minds wander, we’re thinking about past and future social interactions and how to conduct them. And this phenomenon isn’t by chance. Emiliano Bruner, a paleoneurobiologist (古神经生物学家), explains that it originates from the brain’s parietal cortex (顶叶皮层). His 2022 study reveals that this region expanded significantly in modern humans, enabling outstanding capacities of visual imaging, along with imagination of past and future. “This is a wonderful superpower for evolution, promoting evolutionary fitness, but it’s also a drawback for individuals because it can cause overthinking, fears and anxiety,” says Bruner. Today, this ability to survive is also the source of a lot of human sufferings. According to Bruner, in psychology, this is called “negativity prejudice” — or our natural instinct to think negatively about the future to remove any threats to our survival. “Evolution did its job, and happiness is not among its priorities,” says Bruner. Bruner says that because mind wandering was important to our evolutionary survival, humans today need to control the damage it can do to our lives. Regular meditation, for example, is a tool that has been proven by research to increase time spent in the present moment and limit the overthinking that brings mental pains. 12.

This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ____17____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. ____18____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ____19____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ____20____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever.

Nothing made me happier than seeing their eyes light up during these interactive and engaging activities. So I had never imagined that waste items would become our most valuable teaching resources, and that shortage would become the source of our greatest inspiration. Last year, our school was hit by severe budget cuts, which meant many resources for science activities were no longer available. As a teacher who had always relied on vivid experiments to make science fun, I felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. How could I keep my students interested and engaged without the well-equipped lab and expensive materials that had served us so well before? I was at a loss, worrying that my science classes would become boring and ineffective, and that my students would lose their passion for exploring the world through experiments. Just as I was struggling with this problem, my students surprised me in the most unexpected way. When we started our unit on simple machines, something amazing happened. Jamie, a ten-year-old boy full of curiosity, brought in some old bicycle parts from his garage. He said they could be used to make wheels and levers (控制杆). Following his example, Maya shared cardboard boxes that her family had kept for later use. One by one, other students also brought in recycled items: plastic bottles, string, used cans, and even small pieces of wood. By the end of the week, we had transformed the corner of our classroom into an entire “invention lab” using recycled materials and student contributions. At first, I doubted whether these simple, everyday objects could support meaningful learning. However, it turned out the learning that happened in that makeshift (临时的) lab exceeded anything we had accomplished with expensive commercial kits. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In this makeshift lab, students worked with amazing enthusiasm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the semester, we held a small exhibition for other classes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
