C．Tips on pacing yourself in small talk. 【答案】18．A 19．B 20．C 【原文】 Small talk is a wonderful way of bonding, learning and growing. What makes it challenging is the fact that we can hardly be prepared for it. We just go with what's happening in the moment. When you first get into a small talk situation, I think we need to establish appropriate goals. Rachel Greenwald, an academic, has this wonderful saying. Your goal is to be interested, not interesting. We often think that we need to be fascinating when in fact we just need to be present and be interested in the conversation that's happening. And then, to get good at small talk, you need to give yourself permission to adjust your pace. Many of us have the sense that speed of response is associated with competence, but what really reflects your competence is an appropriate response. And appropriateness can take a little bit of time, so here are some things you can do to help you. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）First Aid Steps To deliver the right care at the right time, you can help save a life.

There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What change does Farr bring to her school? A．Additional income. B．Flexible environments. C．Upgraded equipment. D．Diverse outdoor games. 25．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A．To reduce teacher’s workload． B．To enhance the school’s reputation. C．To improve students’ academic results. D．To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 26．(2.5分)Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A．More focused. B．More energetic. C．More self-centred． D．More courageous. 27．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A．Its theory. B．Its challenge. C．Its purpose. D．Its effectiveness. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 （本题10分）Why did the cow go to Hollywood? Because it wanted to be in the moo-vies! Get it? Because “moo” is the sound a cow makes! This is an example of a dad joke. Anyone can make a dad joke — you don’t have to be a parent. Most of the time it’s just a joke that uses a very obvious and predictable pun (双关语). Dad jokes are usually thought to be pretty harmless, and maybe even cause feelings of love. And researchers have found that humor may actually be an important tool for parents. A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children. More than 300 people aged between 18 and 45 took part in a survey. They were asked to say whether they agreed or disagreed with a number of statements about humor in parenting. These included their memories of whether humor was used by their own parents, and if they might use it with their own children. More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. So why does it work? The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example. 28．(2.5分)How did the author introduce the phrase “dad joke”? A．By giving an example. B．By making a definition. C．By explaining where to use it. D．By showing its hidden meaning. 29．(2.5分)In which aspect do researchers plan to figure out the function of humor? A．Family harmony. B．Social gatherings. C．Parenting skills. D．Parenting stress. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The benefits of using humor in education. B．Different types of humor used by parents. C．The disadvantages of humor in family relationships. D．Participants’ views on the use of humor in parenting. 31．(2.5分)What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．How humor deals with pressure. B．What effect humor has on home. C．Which humor should be stressed. D．Why humor makes people happy. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“爸爸笑话”及幽默在父母养育孩子过程中的作用和相关研究发现。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Why did the cow go to Hollywood? Because it wanted to be in the moo-vies! Get it? Because ‘moo’ is the sound a cow makes!(为什么奶牛要去好莱坞？因为它想参演‘牛影’（moo-vies与movies同音）！明白了吗？因为‘moo’是奶牛发出的声音！)”以及第二段中的“This is an example of a dad joke.(这就是一个‘爸爸笑话’的例子)”可知，作者通过举例介绍了“爸爸笑话”这一短语。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children.(美国的一个研究小组想进一步了解父母在养育孩子时使用幽默所产生的影响)”可知，研究人员计划弄清楚幽默在育儿技巧方面的作用。故选C项。 30．主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. (超过70%的参与者表示，他们认为幽默可以成为育儿过程中的一个有用工具。55%的人说，他们的父母在养育自己时就使用过幽默。研究还发现，父母使用幽默的人更有可能表示自己与父母关系融洽。许多参与者甚至表示，他们愿意参加相关课程，学习如何在育儿中运用幽默。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了参与者对在育儿中使用幽默的看法。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example.(研究人员表示，家庭生活可能充满压力，而幽默是减轻家庭压力的好方法。但这不仅仅意味着讲更多的‘爸爸笑话’——例如，幽默可以用来代替愤怒来缓解紧张的局面)”可知，接下来的段落可能会谈论幽默是如何应对压力的。故选A项。 （本题10分）Social conflicts, from policy debates to family disagreements, can easily develop into angry words and personal attacks. Such heated conflicts, however, seldom settle disagreements and can lead to worse results. A better approach to dealing with interpersonal disagreements is to apply features of wisdom, like humility (谦虚), diverse viewpoints and open-mindedness. But applying these elements of wisdom can be difficult, especially during conflicts. The trick, according to research published in the journal Psychological Science, is to train yourself in advance to reason about interpersonal conflicts in a wiser manner. “People typically fail to reason wisely when facing social conflicts so we designed a way to help them,” said Igor Grossmann, director of the Wisdom and Culture Lab at the University of Waterloo, Canada. “Our basic idea is to train people to see situations from a more objective, third-person angle (角度). This approach enables people to recognize the limitations of their knowledge and the different ways the conflict may lead to, and consider and balance different viewpoints.” According to the researchers, by changing the angle from the first person to the third person, a person is able to get a better understanding of his or her own knowledge and enjoy different views. To test their assumption (假设), the researchers conducted two field experiments. Grossmann said, “Our research showed the effectiveness of the third- person diary writing for a change in wisdom compared to the first-person diary reflection, and indicated that the third- person self-reflection led to gradual change in wise reasoning about personally challenging interactions.” The data suggest that this increase in wise reasoning happened because the third-person self-reflection broadened people’s typically narrow self-focus. This research provides the evidence for training wise reasoning in daily life when people are dealing with challenging interactions. 32．(2.5分)Why is it significant to settle the social conflicts? A．Conflicts may lead to failure. B．Conflicts can result in a worse situation. C．Conflicts can avoid one’s self-reflection. D．Conflicts can push people to think differently. 33．(2.5分)What can help to reduce the conflicts according to the author? A．Self-awareness. B．Agreed standard. C．Broad viewpoints. D．Firm determination. 34．(2.5分)What can we learn from Grossmann’s findings? A．Social conflicts can increase people’s reasoning ability. B．First-person reflection improves the problem-solving skills. C．Self-focus is helpful in dealing with interpersonal disagreements. D．Third-person diary reflection can increase the ability to solve conflicts. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Reflection Matters in Decreasing Disagreements B．Social Conflicts Do Great Harm to Interpersonal Relationships C．The Wisdom of Problem-solving Lies in Challenges D．Training in Wise Reasoning Helps to Cope with Social Conflicts 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】主要介绍社交冲突易引发不良后果，研究表明以第三人称视角反思能培养理智思维、化解矛盾。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Such heated conflicts, however, seldom settle disagreements and can lead to worse results.(然而这类激烈的冲突几乎无法解决分歧，还会引发更糟糕的后果。)”可知，激烈的社会冲突会让局势变得更加糟糕。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A better approach to dealing with interpersonal disagreements is to apply features of wisdom, like humility (谦虚), diverse viewpoints and open-mindedness. (处理人际分歧更好的办法是运用智慧，比如保持谦虚、拥有多元视角和豁达心态。)”可知，拥有广泛多元的视角有助于化解冲突。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Grossmann said, “Our research showed the effectiveness of the third- person diary writing for a change in wisdom compared to the first-person diary reflection, and indicated that the third- person self-reflection led to gradual change in wise reasoning about personally challenging interactions.”(格罗斯曼表示：“我们的研究表明，相较于第一人称日记反思，第三人称日记写作在提升智慧方面效果更佳，同时也证实，以第三人称进行自我反思，能让人在面对人际难题时，其理性思辨能力逐步得到改善。”)”可知，第三人称日记反思可以提升人们化解冲突的能力。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“The trick, according to research published in the journal Psychological Science, is to train yourself in advance to reason about interpersonal conflicts in a wiser manner.(发表在《心理科学》期刊上的研究指出，应对冲突的诀窍是提前训练自己，用更理智的方式看待人际矛盾。)”可知，文章主要围绕训练理智思考能力有助于应对社交冲突展开论述，所以“Training in Wise Reasoning Helps to Cope with Social Conflicts(智慧思辨训练有助于应对社交冲突)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 （本题12.5分）Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 36(2.5分) It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet check-ups to help discover any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, ensuring your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 37(2.5分) As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. 38(2.5分) Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. 39(2.5分) Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. 40(2.5分) Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companions enjoy their later years with dignity, comfort, and the love they deserve. A．Choose high-quality senior dog food. B．But preventive care is better than treatment. C．Emotional well-being should not be ignored. D．Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. E．Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. F．Don’t forget to reward them with their favorite treats after exercise. G．Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．A 39．E 40．C 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了如何通过关注健康监测、调整营养饮食、安排适宜运动以及重视情感陪伴这四个方面，为老年犬提供全面而细致的关怀。 【详解】36．前文“Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. (与狗狗共度生活是一段充满爱的旅程，这份爱会随着岁月的流逝而愈发深厚。当我们的伙伴步入老年之时，它们对于持续的舒适与快乐的需求也会发生变化。)”提到老年犬对舒适和快乐的需求会变化，后文“It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. (这需要采取一种全面的方法，涵盖它们健康状况的变化、行动能力以及情绪健康等方面。)”指出满足其需求需要全面的方法，因此G项“Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. (照顾你的老年犬，远不止常规的散步和喂食。)”符合语境，指出照顾老年犬有更高的要求，既承接前文的需求改变，又引出后文的方法，其中的Taking care of your senior dog是后文It指代的对象。 37．前文“Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. (记得要密切留意它们的行为表现。)”提醒关注老年犬的行为表现，因此D项“Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. (任何微小的相关变化通常是第一线索。)”符合语境，解释为何要关注其行为，承接前文。 38．前文“As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. (随着狗狗年龄的增长，它们的营养需求也会发生变化。需要调整其饮食并监测体重，以预防任何与肥胖相关的健康问题。)”建议调整老年犬的饮食并监控体重，后文“Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. (还可以考虑给老年犬喂食一些补充剂，比如含有促进关节健康的成分的复合维生素，以及有助于提升大脑功能和维护皮肤健康的健康脂肪。)”进一步说明调整饮食的具体方法，因此A项“Choose high-quality senior dog food. (选择高品质的老年犬粮。)”符合语境，是调整饮食的首要具体方法，承接前文，和后文是递进关系。 39．前文“Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. (你的狗狗可能不像以前那样精力充沛了，所以调整一下它们的运动计划是合理的。)”建议调整老年犬的运动，后文“Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. (像游泳这样的活动也很棒，因为它们提供全面的锻炼，以保持肌肉量和关节灵活性，而且不会给年迈的骨骼带来压力。)”进一步举例游泳这种锻炼方式，因此E项“Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. (考虑温和的散步，而非要求高的体育活动。)”符合语境，举例散步这一锻炼方式，承接前文，和后文游泳的例子并列。 40．后文“Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. (和你的老年犬一起度过美好时光，做一些它们喜欢的活动。你的陪伴对它们来说是无价之宝。)”建议陪伴老年犬，满足其情感需求，因此C项“Emotional well-being should not be ignored. (情感健康不应被忽视。)”符合语境，指出情感健康的重要性，作为段首句统领后文。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Learning a new language is a challenging yet rewarding journey.

Actually, practicing 15 to 20 minutes daily works far better than cramming for hours on weekends. One useful 46 is to bury yourself in the language fully.

Firstly, humor promotes both physical and mental health. When we laugh, our body releases endorphins that reduce pain and boost our mood, making us feel more energetic. Secondly, humor helps relieve stress from study and life. Even though schoolwork can be overwhelming, sharing a funny story with friends can lighten our burdens instantly. Moreover, humor strengthens friendships. People who laugh together tend to build stronger connections because it creates positive memories. Additionally, humor enhances creativity. Studies show that a relaxed mind, which humor provides, is more likely to think outside the box. In conclusion, humor is not just about laughter. So, let’s embrace humor every day! 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。题目要求学生以李华的身份，写一篇关于幽默的好处的演讲稿，需包含身心健康、学习与生活压力、友谊三方面的好处，并自行补充一个其他好处。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 减轻、缓解：relieve→alleviate, ease 倾向于做某事：tend to do→have a tendency to do, be inclined to do 产生：create→produce, generate 提高：enhance→improve 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：In conclusion, humor is not just about laughter. 拓展句：It can be concluded that humor is not just about laughter. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Even though schoolwork can be overwhelming, sharing a funny story with friends can lighten our burdens instantly.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.     After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Jack is a responsible person, but in my eyes, he's too serious.

There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What change does Farr bring to her school? A．Additional income. B．Flexible environments. C．Upgraded equipment. D．Diverse outdoor games. 25．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A．To reduce teacher’s workload． B．To enhance the school’s reputation.

C．More self-centred． D．More courageous. 27．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A．Its theory. B．Its challenge. C．Its purpose. D．Its effectiveness. （本题10分）Why did the cow go to Hollywood? Because it wanted to be in the moo-vies! Get it? Because “moo” is the sound a cow makes! This is an example of a dad joke. Anyone can make a dad joke — you don’t have to be a parent. Most of the time it’s just a joke that uses a very obvious and predictable pun (双关语). Dad jokes are usually thought to be pretty harmless, and maybe even cause feelings of love. And researchers have found that humor may actually be an important tool for parents. A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children. More than 300 people aged between 18 and 45 took part in a survey. They were asked to say whether they agreed or disagreed with a number of statements about humor in parenting. These included their memories of whether humor was used by their own parents, and if they might use it with their own children. More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. So why does it work? The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example. 28．(2.5分)How did the author introduce the phrase “dad joke”? A．By giving an example. B．By making a definition. C．By explaining where to use it. D．By showing its hidden meaning. 29．(2.5分)In which aspect do researchers plan to figure out the function of humor? A．Family harmony. B．Social gatherings. C．Parenting skills. D．Parenting stress. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The benefits of using humor in education. B．Different types of humor used by parents. C．The disadvantages of humor in family relationships. D．Participants’ views on the use of humor in parenting. 31．(2.5分)What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．How humor deals with pressure. B．What effect humor has on home. C．Which humor should be stressed. D．Why humor makes people happy. （本题10分）Social conflicts, from policy debates to family disagreements, can easily develop into angry words and personal attacks. Such heated conflicts, however, seldom settle disagreements and can lead to worse results. A better approach to dealing with interpersonal disagreements is to apply features of wisdom, like humility (谦虚), diverse viewpoints and open-mindedness. But applying these elements of wisdom can be difficult, especially during conflicts. The trick, according to research published in the journal Psychological Science, is to train yourself in advance to reason about interpersonal conflicts in a wiser manner. “People typically fail to reason wisely when facing social conflicts so we designed a way to help them,” said Igor Grossmann, director of the Wisdom and Culture Lab at the University of Waterloo, Canada. “Our basic idea is to train people to see situations from a more objective, third-person angle (角度). This approach enables people to recognize the limitations of their knowledge and the different ways the conflict may lead to, and consider and balance different viewpoints.” According to the researchers, by changing the angle from the first person to the third person, a person is able to get a better understanding of his or her own knowledge and enjoy different views. To test their assumption (假设), the researchers conducted two field experiments. Grossmann said, “Our research showed the effectiveness of the third- person diary writing for a change in wisdom compared to the first-person diary reflection, and indicated that the third- person self-reflection led to gradual change in wise reasoning about personally challenging interactions.” The data suggest that this increase in wise reasoning happened because the third-person self-reflection broadened people’s typically narrow self-focus. This research provides the evidence for training wise reasoning in daily life when people are dealing with challenging interactions. 32．(2.5分)Why is it significant to settle the social conflicts? A．Conflicts may lead to failure. B．Conflicts can result in a worse situation. C．Conflicts can avoid one’s self-reflection. D．Conflicts can push people to think differently. 33．(2.5分)What can help to reduce the conflicts according to the author? A．Self-awareness. B．Agreed standard. C．Broad viewpoints. D．Firm determination. 34．(2.5分)What can we learn from Grossmann’s findings? A．Social conflicts can increase people’s reasoning ability. B．First-person reflection improves the problem-solving skills. C．Self-focus is helpful in dealing with interpersonal disagreements. D．Third-person diary reflection can increase the ability to solve conflicts. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Reflection Matters in Decreasing Disagreements B．Social Conflicts Do Great Harm to Interpersonal Relationships C．The Wisdom of Problem-solving Lies in Challenges D．Training in Wise Reasoning Helps to Cope with Social Conflicts （本题12.5分）Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year.

It is not just about memorizing words and grammar rules, but also about 41 a new way of thinking and seeing the world.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
