So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with. Educational objectives RECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit. ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We will be using comedic tools to keep this light.) IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our clients. PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with each other and with our clients. Frequently asked questions( FAQ) What time is the event? The workshop will be from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Will the recording qualify for RID CEUs? Yes!

It wasn’t until his niece Zara got addicted to electronic devices that he resolved to take action. He introduced kids like Zara to gardening, and that’s how they first got involved in the Springdale Kids’ Garden program, a local initiative launched in 2005. Zara grew deeply passionate about gardening through this program and now assists in managing a youth garden club at her school. In 2018, Jake launched a new project called Little Sprouts, which is designed to instruct kids aged 5 to 7 in vegetable growing. Thanks to his backing, over 80 kids participate free of charge each summer for 4 weeks. They spend 90 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday improving their gardening skills, with each child receiving a small shovel (小铲子), a pair of gloves, and a hat. “They learn to dig, sow seeds, water young plants, and harvest vegetables in an engaging, secure setting,” Jake explained. “It gets them active, away from their tablets. Gardening builds patience, and they take delight in consuming what they’ve grown. Sure enough, more kids expressed interest in joining.” To fund the project, he spent his after-school hours collecting used plastic bottles and old newspapers from the neighborhood, carefully cleaning and sorting them before selling the recyclables to a nearby firm. “At first, the residents questioned my motives, assuming I was doing this just to make a profit, but now even people I don’t know stop by to drop off their recyclables at my door,” he shared. This recycling effort generates about $15,000 each year, which covers all the garden’s needs. Jake says that watching the kids’ excitement when picking their first carrots or tomatoes brings him great contentment. “Not only is less waste ending up in landfills, but we’ve got kids who prefer digging in soil over looking through phones,” he added. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jake enter the field of gardening? A．To repay his grandma’s instruction. B．To join a community initiative. C．To develop his teaching methods. D．To break his niece’s screen habit. 25．(2.5分)What can be learned about Little Sprouts? A．It mainly targets teenagers. B．It provides daily sessions. C．It takes kids’ safety into account. D．It requires a participation fee. 26．(2.5分)How did people initially find Jake’s recycling? A．It benefited him financially. B．It heavily funded his project. C．It needed to be supported. D．It would make little difference. 27．(2.5分)What is Jake’s educational philosophy according to the text? A．Still waters run deep. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Never too old to learn. D．Experience teaches best. （本题10分）If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them. Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes." When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic? A．To introduce instant magical solutions. B．To offer methods to handle worries. C．To promote the use of magic in daily life. D．To explain life transition challenges. 29．(2.5分)What caused a new employee to take criticism as proof of stereotypes? A．Self-doubt. B．Constant failures. C．Big goals. D．Unfair judgement. 30．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “spiral up” mean in paragraph 4? A．Gain more skills. B．Make constant progress. C．Keep current status. D．Become more focused. 31．(2.5分)What does “ordinary magic” refer to in the text? A．Small daily positive actions. B．Instant life-changing tools. C．Major events causing big changes. D．Scientific studies on psychology. （本题10分）In his column, the columnist Anthony Piccione argues just that if we regard the arts subject as important to a child's education as math or science, arts education should be required in schools just as those classes are. I believe deeply in the significance of arts education, which indeed proved transformative to my own life. But I have serious misgivings about seeking to demonstrate the value of something by making it “compulsory” (必修的), which I believe shows a lack of respect for the autonomy and personal thought of our students, and is almost never what tends to convince them of a subject’ s value to their lives. Participating in the arts requires voluntary personal investment in a way that the study of no other compulsory academic subject really does. Part of what made theater so valuable to me when I was a teenager was that for once, it was something I was choosing to do because I wanted it. For once, it wasn't something I was being forced into or that someone else had decided was for my own good. I don't see evidence that students need to be required to study the arts or participate in them. Nor am I convinced by the argument that the future of the professional theater is in danger from lack of compulsory arts education. How often do we already talk about the large number of theater artists coming out of art schools or departments? The crisis of arts education simply is not that not enough students are being forced into it. It's that even when interest of students in low-income communities is strong, underfunded programs, and insufficient school resources prevent them from developing skills or building professional networks. I worry very much when it seems the only vocabulary we have for how much we value something and want others to value it too, is that it needs to be made “compulsory”. And I worry what we'd be teaching students about the arts if we were to approach them that way. 32．(2.5分)How is the topic introduced? A．By quoting an opinion. B．By telling arts stories. C．By comparing subjects. D．By introducing a writer. 33．(2.5分)What does the author think compulsory arts education harmful to? A．Arts' transformative capacity. B．Arts' need for personal efforts. C．Students’ natural gift for arts. D．Students' independent thinking. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author cite her teenage experience? A．To demonstrate the popularity of arts. B．To stress the educational value of arts. C．To show the importance of free choice. D．To prove the positive impact of theater. 35．(2.5分)What is the real crisis in arts education according to the author? A．Lack of access for poor students. B．Undervalued programs in schools. C．Reliance on a compulsory method. D．Disinterest in arts training and jobs. （本题12.5分）Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36(2.5分) Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences. With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37(2.5分) It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace. 38(2.5分) But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead. Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39(2.5分) If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax. Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40(2.5分) A．It’s necessary to make early plans. B．However, we must realize that life changes. C．This promotes a great sense of achievement. D．Patience may not always give us what we want. E．Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger. F．Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration. G．With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My name is Lorenzo.

We should work together, over a network, 59(1.5分) (build) a global learning society. 60(1.5分) (addition), the Internet is an inexhaustible (无穷尽的) source of information.

The information recipients even decide whether or not they want to stay informed. Today, you can use the Internet to access libraries, art galleries, news archives, and other information sources from anywhere in the world: I believe this is a key advantage in the education field. The web is a(n) 63(1.5分) (amaze) resource for enhancing the process of building knowledge.

The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry; instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 5 Education（适中版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）How do the speakers sound?

These days, you can see traffic jams around schools at drop-off and pick-up times, but it’s hard to blame the parents. They have good reasons for driving their kids to school, mostly to do with safety and convenience. W: You have a point there, but it could also mean children are missing out on much-needed exercise and other life skills. Some parents are just being overprotective with their children learning nothing but living in fear of everything.

Education doesn’t stop when you leave school, and I don’t just mean further education at university or college. I’m talking about lifelong learning. Whether it’s picking up a new skill, mastering deeper knowledge, or exploring new subjects, continuous learning not only makes our lives colorful, but also keeps our brains active. Learning about new cultures, history, and technology deepens our understanding of the world. Learning can happen anywhere, not just in classrooms. You can learn through online courses, reading books, or talking to people. Learning doesn’t have to be formal; it can be part of your daily life. Also, keeping on improving your skills will enable you to fit in at work sooner and make quicker progress. Employers will value workers who are willing to adapt and develop their skills. So remember, it’s never too late to learn something new. Every step counts. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Building Bridges of Trust Date and time   Sunday, October 19 Location    Online About this event     This 3.5-hour interactive webinar (网络研讨会) will focus on ways we can share intercultural spaces with one another. So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with. Educational objectives RECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit. ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We will be using comedic tools to keep this light.) IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our clients. PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with each other and with our clients. Frequently asked questions( FAQ) What time is the event? The workshop will be from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Will the recording qualify for RID CEUs? Yes!

It wasn’t until his niece Zara got addicted to electronic devices that he resolved to take action. He introduced kids like Zara to gardening, and that’s how they first got involved in the Springdale Kids’ Garden program, a local initiative launched in 2005. Zara grew deeply passionate about gardening through this program and now assists in managing a youth garden club at her school. In 2018, Jake launched a new project called Little Sprouts, which is designed to instruct kids aged 5 to 7 in vegetable growing. Thanks to his backing, over 80 kids participate free of charge each summer for 4 weeks. They spend 90 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday improving their gardening skills, with each child receiving a small shovel (小铲子), a pair of gloves, and a hat. “They learn to dig, sow seeds, water young plants, and harvest vegetables in an engaging, secure setting,” Jake explained. “It gets them active, away from their tablets. Gardening builds patience, and they take delight in consuming what they’ve grown. Sure enough, more kids expressed interest in joining.” To fund the project, he spent his after-school hours collecting used plastic bottles and old newspapers from the neighborhood, carefully cleaning and sorting them before selling the recyclables to a nearby firm. “At first, the residents questioned my motives, assuming I was doing this just to make a profit, but now even people I don’t know stop by to drop off their recyclables at my door,” he shared. This recycling effort generates about $15,000 each year, which covers all the garden’s needs. Jake says that watching the kids’ excitement when picking their first carrots or tomatoes brings him great contentment. “Not only is less waste ending up in landfills, but we’ve got kids who prefer digging in soil over looking through phones,” he added. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jake enter the field of gardening? A．To repay his grandma’s instruction. B．To join a community initiative. C．To develop his teaching methods. D．To break his niece’s screen habit. 25．(2.5分)What can be learned about Little Sprouts? A．It mainly targets teenagers. B．It provides daily sessions. C．It takes kids’ safety into account. D．It requires a participation fee. 26．(2.5分)How did people initially find Jake’s recycling? A．It benefited him financially. B．It heavily funded his project. C．It needed to be supported. D．It would make little difference. 27．(2.5分)What is Jake’s educational philosophy according to the text? A．Still waters run deep. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Never too old to learn. D．Experience teaches best. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国俄勒冈州小镇的一位高中教师Jake Morrison如何通过园艺项目帮助孩子们远离电子设备，并培养他们的耐心和动手能力，同时通过回收废品为项目提供资金支持。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It wasn’t until his niece Zara got addicted to electronic devices that he resolved to take action. He introduced kids like Zara to gardening, and that’s how they first got involved in the Springdale Kids’ Garden program(直到他的侄女扎拉迷上了电子设备，他才决定采取行动。他把像扎拉这样的孩子介绍给园艺，这就是他们第一次参加斯普林代尔儿童园艺项目的原因)”可知，Jake进入园艺领域是为了帮助侄女扎拉摆脱对电子设备的沉迷。故选D项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2018, Jake launched a new project called Little Sprouts, which is designed to instruct kids aged 5 to 7 in vegetable growing.(2018年，杰克启动了一个名为“小豆芽”的新项目，旨在指导5至7岁的孩子种植蔬菜)”和第三段中““They learn to dig, sow seeds, water young plants, and harvest vegetables in an engaging, secure setting,” Jake explained.(杰克解释说：“他们在一个吸引人的、安全的环境中学习挖掘、播种、浇灌幼苗和收获蔬菜。”)”可知，“小豆芽”项目让孩子们在安全的环境中学习，说明该项目考虑到了孩子们的安全。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“To fund the project, he spent his after-school hours collecting used plastic bottles and old newspapers from the neighborhood, carefully cleaning and sorting them before selling the recyclables to a nearby firm. At first, the residents questioned my motives, assuming I was doing this just to make a profit (为了给这个项目筹措资金，他利用放学后的时间从附近收集用过的塑料瓶和旧报纸，仔细清理和分类，然后把这些可回收的东西卖给附近的一家公司。起初，居民们质疑我的动机，认为我这样做只是为了赚钱)”可知，人们最初认为Jake回收废品是为了赚钱，即认为这给他带来了经济上的好处。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，特别是第三段中“Thanks to his backing, over 80 kids participate free of charge each summer for 4 weeks. They spend 90 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday improving their gardening skills, with each child receiving a small shovel (小铲子), a pair of gloves, and a hat. “They learn to dig, sow seeds, water young plants, and harvest vegetables in an engaging, secure setting,” Jake explained. “It gets them active, away from their tablets. Gardening builds patience, and they take delight in consuming what they’ve grown. Sure enough, more kids expressed interest in joining.”(在他的支持下，每年夏天有80多名孩子免费参加为期4周的活动。每周二和周四，他们花90分钟的时间来提高他们的园艺技能，每个孩子都会得到一把小铲子，一副手套和一顶帽子。杰克解释说：“他们在一个吸引人的、安全的环境中学习挖掘、播种、浇灌幼苗和收获蔬菜。它让他们远离平板电脑，变得活跃起来。园艺培养了他们的耐心，他们以食用自己种植的东西为乐。果不其然，越来越多的孩子表示有兴趣加入。”)”和最后一段中“Jake says that watching the kids’ excitement when picking their first carrots or tomatoes brings him great contentment. “Not only is less waste ending up in landfills, but we’ve got kids who prefer digging in soil over looking through phones,” he added.(杰克说，看着孩子们第一次摘胡萝卜或西红柿时的兴奋，他感到非常满足。他补充说：“不仅减少了垃圾填埋场的垃圾，而且我们的孩子更喜欢在土里挖东西，而不是看手机。”)”可知，Jake通过园艺项目让孩子们亲身体验和学习，帮助孩子们远离了电子设备，并培养他们的耐心和动手能力，由此可推知，他的教育理念是“体验是最好的老师”。故选D项。 （本题10分）If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them. Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes." When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic? A．To introduce instant magical solutions. B．To offer methods to handle worries. C．To promote the use of magic in daily life. D．To explain life transition challenges. 29．(2.5分)What caused a new employee to take criticism as proof of stereotypes? A．Self-doubt. B．Constant failures. C．Big goals. D．Unfair judgement. 30．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “spiral up” mean in paragraph 4? A．Gain more skills. B．Make constant progress. C．Keep current status. D．Become more focused. 31．(2.5分)What does “ordinary magic” refer to in the text? A．Small daily positive actions. B．Instant life-changing tools. C．Major events causing big changes. D．Scientific studies on psychology. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．B 31．A 【导语】文章介绍了Gregory Walton的新书《平凡的魔力》，该书阐述了日常生活中微小行为如何帮助我们消除担忧、实现积极改变，并提供了相关心理学研究支持。   【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them.(斯坦福大学心理学教授Walton阐述了影响我们信念、反应和后续发展的简单、通常微小的担忧。然后，他向我们展示了处理这些担忧的方法。)”可知，这本书的主要目的是提供处理担忧的方法。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. (基于你过去的经验和你所知道的刻板印象，你可能会纠结于一个担忧：我能胜任这份工作吗？当你的第一个项目遭到同事的批评时，你可能会倾向于把这次小小的互动当作刻板印象正确的证据。)”可知，新员工因为自我怀疑（即内心的担忧），从而把批评当成了刻板印象的证明。 30．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others.(然而，当我们发现的事实帮助我们抛开这些担忧时，我们就能“spiral up”，并为自己或他人开辟新的道路。)”以及后文提到的“improved participants’ lives(改善了参与者的生活)”可知，抛开担忧后，人们能够取得积极的进展，开辟新道路。由此推知，spiral up意为“取得持续进步”。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire.(它们是日常点滴经历，帮助我们放下忧虑，让人生朝着期许的方向前行)”以及第一段的书名“Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts (《平凡的魔力：如何用小行动实现大改变的科学》)”可知，“平凡的魔力”指日常中积极的微小行为。 （本题10分）In his column, the columnist Anthony Piccione argues just that if we regard the arts subject as important to a child's education as math or science, arts education should be required in schools just as those classes are. I believe deeply in the significance of arts education, which indeed proved transformative to my own life. But I have serious misgivings about seeking to demonstrate the value of something by making it “compulsory” (必修的), which I believe shows a lack of respect for the autonomy and personal thought of our students, and is almost never what tends to convince them of a subject’ s value to their lives. Participating in the arts requires voluntary personal investment in a way that the study of no other compulsory academic subject really does. Part of what made theater so valuable to me when I was a teenager was that for once, it was something I was choosing to do because I wanted it. For once, it wasn't something I was being forced into or that someone else had decided was for my own good. I don't see evidence that students need to be required to study the arts or participate in them. Nor am I convinced by the argument that the future of the professional theater is in danger from lack of compulsory arts education. How often do we already talk about the large number of theater artists coming out of art schools or departments? The crisis of arts education simply is not that not enough students are being forced into it. It's that even when interest of students in low-income communities is strong, underfunded programs, and insufficient school resources prevent them from developing skills or building professional networks. I worry very much when it seems the only vocabulary we have for how much we value something and want others to value it too, is that it needs to be made “compulsory”. And I worry what we'd be teaching students about the arts if we were to approach them that way. 32．(2.5分)How is the topic introduced? A．By quoting an opinion. B．By telling arts stories. C．By comparing subjects. D．By introducing a writer. 33．(2.5分)What does the author think compulsory arts education harmful to? A．Arts' transformative capacity. B．Arts' need for personal efforts. C．Students’ natural gift for arts. D．Students' independent thinking. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author cite her teenage experience? A．To demonstrate the popularity of arts. B．To stress the educational value of arts. C．To show the importance of free choice. D．To prove the positive impact of theater. 35．(2.5分)What is the real crisis in arts education according to the author? A．Lack of access for poor students. B．Undervalued programs in schools. C．Reliance on a compulsory method. D．Disinterest in arts training and jobs. 【答案】32．A 33．D 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要围绕艺术教育是否应强制开展这一话题展开讨论。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“In his column, the columnist Anthony Piccione argues just that if we regard the arts subject as important to a child's education as math or science, arts education should be required in schools just as those classes are.(专栏作家安东尼·皮乔内在他的专栏中提出，如果我们认为艺术学科对孩子的教育和数学或科学一样重要，那么艺术教育就应该像这些学科一样在学校成为必修课)”可知，文章通过引用安东尼·皮乔内的观点来引入话题，故选A项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“But I have serious misgivings about seeking to demonstrate the value of something by making “compulsory”, which I believe shows a lack of respect for the autonomy and personal thought of our students, and is almost never what tends to convince them of a subject’s value to their lives.(但我对通过强制手段来证明某事物的价值深感担忧，我认为这表现出对学生自主性和个人思想的不尊重，而且几乎永远无法让他们相信一门学科对他们生活的价值)”可知，作者认为强制艺术教育对学生的独立思考有害，故选D项。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段“Participating in the arts requires voluntary personal investment in a way that the study of no other compulsory academic subject really does. Part of what made theater so valuable to me when I was a teenager was that for once, it was something I was choosing to do because I wanted it. For once, it wasn't something I was being forced into or that someone else had decided was for my own good.(参与艺术需要个人自愿投入，这是其他必修学术科目所不具备的特点。青少年时期，戏剧对我来说如此有价值的部分原因是，这是我第一次因为自己想做而选择去做的事情。这一次，这不是我被迫去做的，也不是别人为了我好而决定的事情)”可知，作者引用自己青少年时期的经历是为了表明自由选择的重要性，故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The crisis of arts education simply is not that not enough students are being forced into it. It's that even when interest of students in low-income communities is strong, underfunded programs, and insufficient school resources prevent them from developing skills or building professional networks.(艺术教育的危机根本不是没有足够多的学生被强制学习艺术。而是即使低收入社区学生的兴趣很浓厚，资金不足的项目和学校资源的匮乏也阻碍他们发展技能或建立专业网络)”可知，作者认为艺术教育的真正危机是贫困学生缺乏接受艺术教育的机会，故选A项。 （本题12.5分）Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36(2.5分) Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences. With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37(2.5分) It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace. 38(2.5分) But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead. Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39(2.5分) If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax. Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40(2.5分) A．It’s necessary to make early plans. B．However, we must realize that life changes. C．This promotes a great sense of achievement. D．Patience may not always give us what we want. E．Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger. F．Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration. G．With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully. 【答案】36．E 37．F 38．D 39．B 40．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章强调耐心是一种美德，能培养内在力量和明智判断，帮助我们冷静面对挑战，专注于长期目标。耐心让我们在挫折中保持乐观，改善人际关系，减少冲动和愤怒。感恩和接受变化是耐心的关键。耐心虽需努力培养，但能让生活更美好。 【详解】36．上文“In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions.(在一个常常让人感到匆忙和要求苛刻的世界里，能够冷静等待并容忍延迟的能力，真的赋予了我们做出明智决策的力量。)”提到耐心能让我们冷静等待，避免冲动决策，E项“保持耐心可以帮助我们避免因愤怒而采取行动。”符合语境，进一步说明耐心如何帮助我们避免因愤怒而做出错误行为，与上下文逻辑紧密相连。故选E。 37．前文“With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan.(有了耐心，我们能够以冷静的头脑应对挑战。它帮助我们专注于长期目标，而不是短期的挫折。事情并不总能按计划进行。)”说明了耐心的现实意义，有耐心让我们冷静面对挑战，专注长期目标，F项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”引出耐心的另一个现实意义——耐心并不总能让我们得到想要的结果，但即便如此，它依然能帮助我们保持积极的心态，与下文“It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic.( 但它赋予了我们保持乐观的力量和决心。)”形成对比和呼应。故选F。 38．由下文的转折“But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.(但我们仍然可以保持冷静、平和和快乐。耐心在我们与他人的互动中发挥着最重要的作用。有了耐心，我们不会轻易对别人发火。我们会努力收集更多信息，寻找解决方案。)”可推断，空处总结上文提到的耐心在面对挑战时的作用，即帮助我们更好地应对挫折和困难，因此推断D项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”与下文是转折关系。故选D。 39．前文“Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient.(耐心的另一个关键是感恩。而不是专注于我们现在想要什么，我们专注于感激我们已经拥有的。当我们感激我们所拥有的，我们提高了耐心的能力。)”此句引出耐心与接受生活变化之间的关系，因此推断B项“然而，我们必须认识到生活是变化的。”与下文“But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.(但如果你接受生活的保证之一就是变化，你就会放松下来。)”接受变化能减少不耐烦形成因果关系，说明耐心与接受现实之间的联系。故选B。 40．此句为最后一句，总结全文，呼应开头“Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment.(耐心是一种美德，因为它能培养内心的力量和健全的判断力。)”耐心是一种美德，强调耐心带来的积极影响，即让生活变得更加美好。因此推断G项“有了耐心，你会发现生活会变得更加美好。”符合语境，故选G。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My name is Lorenzo. Born in Mexico City, I’ve been living here in the United States for five years. While in the tenth grade I had an(a) 41 with my ESL teacher, Mrs. Del Signore.

When I explained what had happened, she answered, “Quit 47 my leg. I want the truth.” I felt my face turning red. What she said didn’t make any 48 to me. She was sitting at her desk, and it would have been practically 49 to pull her leg from under the desk. The whole class looked at her because they did not 50 her either. Soon Mrs. Del Signore realized the reason and 51 to me and the rest of the class. She explained what she meant by the idiom “pulling my leg”. She had thought I was 52 her and making up a story.

The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry; instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right． We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it, we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves． 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者七岁那年，和妹妹迫切地想要独立，于是开始了一项园艺生意，为邻居们除草来赚取费用。令她们惊讶的是，只有怀特夫人接受了她们的提议。然而，第二天她们却忘记了她们的约定，导致怀特夫人联系上了她们的母亲。面对她们的错误，她们感到内疚，但很快就被母亲提出的惊喜提议所分散了注意力——她打算那天下午带她们去迪士尼乐园。但是临出门时母亲又说不去了，母亲用不去迪士尼乐园的策略让孩子们意识到他们的错误。接下来，通过道歉和实际行动，孩子们挽回了失信的过失，学会了履行承诺的价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“在楼梯平台上，妈妈说：“孩子们，我们今天不去迪斯尼乐园了。””可知，第一段描述母亲通过实际行为告诉作者和妹妹被食言的感受。 ②由第二段句首内容“我们轻轻地敲了敲怀特太太的门，低着头，心情沉重。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妹妹去帮助怀特太太的花园除草，履行自己的承诺。 2. 续写线索：妈妈食言——伤心——教导——明白自己的错误——道歉——完成承诺——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：exclaim/shout out ②意识到：realize/aware of ③信守诺言：keep one’s word/keep one’s promise 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】You need to learn that actions have consequences.
