What I want to share with you today is simple: education matters greatly. When I first came to the US, I only planned to work as a repairman. At that time, I couldn’t read newspapers, nor could I understand news programs or movies on TV. That was when I decided to attend city college and take English courses for international students. I was really proud to be a college student, because no one in my family had ever studied at a college. In my hometown, most people finish school at the age of fifteen and then learn a trade. I followed the same path. At fifteen, I learned the skills to become a repairman, and I moved to America one year later. Fortunately, I met an excellent teacher who encouraged me to take math, business and history courses. Later, I became a full-time college student. Looking back now, I feel extremely grateful, for I can never tell where life would lead me if I hadn’t attended the college. Before I knew it, I began to earn money simply because I was really good at math. The ability to solve problems with math is far more important than I once thought. I realized this especially after I started my own business, which is now doing very well. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）We welcome you to attend a campus visit of Harvard College.

Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood? A．She learned Kong fu for fun. B．She was interested in poems. C．She met Chinese culture early. D．She had a gift for Chinese dance. 25．(2.5分)What awakened Zhang Xueling's curiosity in Luoyang? A．The magical works of museums. B．The atmosphere of Hanfu lovers. C．The long history of Yingtian Gate. D．The classical makeup of local girls. 26．(2.5分)What made Zhang Xueling win the competition? A．Her family's support and wish. B．Her experience of wearing Hanfu. C．Her nice speech and graceful dance. D．Her deep love for ancient Luoyang. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded from Zhang Xueling's story? A．A positive mind leads to success. B．Traditional culture should be updated. C．True passion connects different cultures. D．Mistakes can be reduced through practice. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文讲述印尼留学生张雪玲从小接触中国舞蹈和功夫，后在洛阳被汉服氛围唤醒对中国文化的热爱，凭借融合汉服与舞蹈的英文演讲比赛斩获大奖，用热爱搭建起中外文化沟通桥梁的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kongfu(五岁时，妈妈就给她报了中国舞和功夫班)”可知张雪玲童年时期很早就接触到中国文化。 25．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture(她看到大批年轻人身着好看的汉服走在街上十分震撼，这种浓厚氛围唤醒了她对中国文化的好奇心)”可知是汉服爱好者营造的氛围唤醒了她的好奇心。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges(她不仅登台发言，还自学了《洛城旧事》这支舞蹈。在后台，她的心跳得飞快：“万一上台出错了怎么办？”然而，当她开始舞动的那一刻，所有的忧虑便烟消云散。她优雅的舞姿，搭配上华美的汉服，彻底征服了现场的观众与评委)”，由此可知出色的演讲和优美的舞蹈让她赢得比赛。 27．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine(张雪玲证明怀揣真挚热爱，任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩)”可知，张雪玲用真挚热爱表明任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩，可推知真挚的热爱能够连接不同文化。 （本题10分）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”. 28．(2.5分)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. 29．(2.5分)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. 30．(2.5分)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. 31．(2.5分)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】28．B 29．C 30．C 31．A 【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。 【详解】28．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。 29．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。 30．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。 31．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” 。 （本题10分）We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen? Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015. Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time. TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach. 32．(2.5分)What can we learn from the 1999 survey? A．TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries. B．Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state. C．People from Greece suffer more from TOT states. D．Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide. 33．(2.5分)Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys? A．They have too many abstract ideas in their mind. B．They haven’t practiced the new words enough. C．Their brain fails to finish the language producing process. D．Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness. 34．(2.5分)How can people avoid forgetting the same word again? A．Try to recall the word by themselves. B．Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it. C．Increase the chance to repeat it. D．Turn to researchers for professional help. 35．(2.5分)Which is the best title for the text? A．The Origins of the Well-known Idioms B．Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels C．Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence D．The Connection Between Age and Language 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．C 【导语】文章主要解释了“话到嘴边想不起来”这一现象，探讨了其神经学原理、触发因素及应对方法，揭示了记忆、语言和认知的暂时性脱节。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience.(1999年的一项调查发现，超过四分之三的语言使用与英语类似的舌头隐喻来描述这种体验。)”可知，1999年的调查表明大多数语言都有与英语类似的表达方式来描述TOT状态。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,’ she said in 2015.(然而在TOT状态下，这个系统会崩溃，你会在中途卡住。)”可知，根据Karin Humphreys的说法，人们陷入TOT状态是因为大脑未能完成语言产生的过程。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study.(相反，2015年的一项研究发现，自己回忆起该单词会减少重复的可能性。)”可知，人们可以通过自己回忆单词来避免再次遗忘同一个词。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了“话到嘴边想不起来（TOT state）”这一神经现象，解释了它为什么会发生——即大脑在语言产生过程中暂时“卡壳”的原因。C选项“Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence(为什么你的大脑有时会在句子中间卡壳)”最能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。 （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication. B．Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views. C．Learners tend to prefer fluency to accuracy in daily study. D．Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task. E．People often ignore the cultural value behind language learning. F．They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one. G．We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books. 【答案】36．B 37．G 38．A 39．F 40．D 【导语】文章主要纠正了关于外语学习的三种常见误解，指出语言学习的文化价值，倡导勇于试错并提倡小组合作学习。 【详解】36．上文“These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning.(这些错误观念阻碍了他们走出舒适区，体验语言学习的乐趣)”指出了错误观念的负面影响。空后“Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them.(语言专家总结了几个常见的误解，并解释了背后的真相)”引出了专家对误区的纠正。选项B“Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views.(幸运的是，纠正这些错误观点永远为时不晚)”既承接了上文的错误观念，又引出了下文的专家解释，起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。 37．上文“When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles.(在学习一门新语言时，我们有机会探索多样的历史、文化和生活方式)”提到了语言学习的文化层面。选项G“We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books.(我们还可以通过相关的音乐、电影和书籍培养跨文化交流技能)”中的“also”承接上文，进一步列举了通过语言学习接触文化的其他方式，与上文内容形成递进，符合语境。 38．上文“Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else.(传统的课堂学习总是把准确度放在首位)”指出了传统教学的特点。下文“Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all.(即使是母语人士在日常交谈中也会出错，小错误根本不会阻碍有效沟通)”指出了现实交流中对错误的包容。选项A“But things are quite different in real-life communication.(但在现实生活的交流中，情况截然不同)”中的“But”形成转折，完美地连接了死板的课堂规则和灵活的日常交流，符合语境。 39．上文“Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two.(第三，有些人认为学一门新语言就很难了，更别说两门了)”提到了人们对学习多门语言的畏难情绪。选项F“They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one.(他们一直使用在学校学到的同一种语言，从来不敢尝试第二种)”是对上文畏难情绪导致的具体行为结果的阐述，逻辑连贯，符合语境。 40．下文“Group learning brings better progress and experience.(小组学习带来更好的进步和体验)”以及后文提到的加入会话小组、在线论坛等，均围绕“集体学习”展开。选项D“Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task.(此外，语言学习被错误地视为一项个人任务)”指出了最后一个误解，即忽视协作，与下文提倡的小组学习形成鲜明对比，适合作为本段的主旨句，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Studying in Ireland last year, my Chinese name “Qiuyu” brought me confusion and a chance to connect. English and Chinese pronunciation differ a lot, so classmates and professors always 41 to say it right. Once in a class, a professor tried to call my name but messed it up.

Afterward, three classmates came up and asked to learn writing their names in Chinese. I was 48 to help, drawing 49 on paper and interpreting their meanings.

She was excited to spend a year studying in France. Yet one thought bothered her throughout the flight: “Can they understand me?” Her fears proved justified. Within days of arriving in France, Holly felt completely lost. Simple tasks, like ordering coffee or asking for directions, became exhausting battles. She felt very lonely and missed home terribly. The only comfort came in a package from her mother. It was filled with Holly’s favorite treat: Skippy peanut butter, which was impossible to be found in France. She rushed to the post office to get the package. On the way, she even imagined herself opening the package and eating the comfort food right there! But at the counter, the attendant couldn’t speak any English at all. Holly switched to her awkward French. However, the attendant just shook her head. The more she repeated herself, the more frustrated — and hopeless — she felt. Obviously, she couldn’t understand Holly’s French, either. Just as Holly was about to break down in tears — not just over the peanut butter, but over everything: the loneliness, the endless struggle to be understood — a gentle voice came from behind, “Can I help you?” Holly turned to see a French woman about her mother’s age, with kind eyes and a warm smile. Her name was Jouve. After Holly explained her situation in English, Jouve placed a reassuring hand on Holly’s arm and spoke to the attendant in rapid, fluent French. Within two minutes, the package was handed over. Holly held it like a treasure. On their way to the parking lot, Holly poured out her heart — the language barrier, the isolation, the homesickness. Jouve listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy. Before they parted, she asked, “Why not join my family for dinner this Sunday?” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That meal changed everything. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 That meal changed everything. Stepping into Jouve’s warm and cozy home, Holly was instantly greeted with genuine warmth and kindness. Jouve’s family were all friendly and patient with her. They chatted slowly with simple French words, patiently helping Holly practice her pronunciation and daily expressions. They shared delicious homemade food and interesting local stories, making Holly feel fully relaxed and no longer lonely. For the first time since she arrived in France, she felt a strong sense of belonging and gained confidence in learning French and adapting to new life. Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students. She volunteered to help new foreign students who struggled with language barriers and homesickness. She patiently assisted them with daily communication, shared her adaptation experience and encouraged them bravely to embrace new challenges. Just like Jouve, she offered warmth and support to those in need. Gradually, more overseas students fitted into local life, and the little kindness was passed down continuously, lighting up everyone’s study life abroad. 【导语】本文讲述了霍莉赴法留学后，因语言不通倍感孤独、处处碰壁。她去取母亲寄来的花生酱时交流受阻，险些落泪，幸得法国女士茹芙热心帮忙。茹芙还邀请她到家做客，让霍莉感受到温暖，重拾信心。后来霍莉也主动传递善意，帮助其他留学生，让这份温暖不断延续。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写茹芙邀请霍莉到家做客，让霍莉感受到温暖，重拾信心。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写后来霍莉也主动传递善意，帮助其他留学生，让这份温暖不断延续。 2.续写线索：邀请做客——感到温暖——重拾信心——主动传递善意——帮助他人——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：step into/walk into ②获得：gain/obtain ③适应：adapt to/adjust to 情绪类 ①舒适的：cozy/comfortable ②真诚的：genuine/sincere 【点睛】[高分句型1] Stepping into Jouve’s warm and cozy home, Holly was instantly greeted with genuine warmth and kindness.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She volunteered to help new foreign students who struggled with language barriers and homesickness.（运用了who引导限制性定语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Mary, how did you build such a large vocabulary?

IT truly feels wonderful to be back at university again. What I want to share with you today is simple education matters greatly. When I first came to the U. S, I only plan to work as a repairman.

I was really proud to be a college student because no one in my family had ever studied at a college in my hometown. Most people finish school at the age of fifteen and then learn a trade. I followed the same path at fifteen. I learned the skills to become a repairman, and I moved to amErica one year later. Fortunately, I met an excEllent teacher who encouraged me to take math, business and history courses. Later, I became a full time college student. Looking back now, I feel extremely grateful for I can never tell where a life a beat me. If I hadn't attended the college before, I knew that I began to earn money simply because I was really good at math. The ability to solve problems with math is far more important than I once thought. I realized this, especially after I started my own business, which is now doing very well. Thank you so much. IT truly feels wonderful to be back at university again.

Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood?

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”. 28．(2.5分)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. 29．(2.5分)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. 30．(2.5分)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. 31．(2.5分)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 （本题10分）We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen? Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015. Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time. TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach. 32．(2.5分)What can we learn from the 1999 survey? A．TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries. B．Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state. C．People from Greece suffer more from TOT states. D．Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide. 33．(2.5分)Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys? A．They have too many abstract ideas in their mind. B．They haven’t practiced the new words enough. C．Their brain fails to finish the language producing process. D．Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness. 34．(2.5分)How can people avoid forgetting the same word again? A．Try to recall the word by themselves. B．Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it. C．Increase the chance to repeat it. D．Turn to researchers for professional help. 35．(2.5分)Which is the best title for the text? A．The Origins of the Well-known Idioms B．Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels C．Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence D．The Connection Between Age and Language （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication. B．Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views. C．Learners tend to prefer fluency to accuracy in daily study. D．Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task. E．People often ignore the cultural value behind language learning. F．They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one. G．We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Studying in Ireland last year, my Chinese name “Qiuyu” brought me confusion and a chance to connect.

White Rabbit, 56(1.5分) (launch) in 1959, has long been a household name in China. It was born in an era of material shortage, when sweets were a rare luxury. Although the times have improved, its packaging has remained 57(1.5分) (virtual) unchanged. The wrapper, 58(1.5分) (feature) a seated white rabbit against a red background, won a national packaging award in 1983 and now draws millions of views overseas. On platform X, a post 59(1.5分) (receive) about 6 million views and 260,000 likes since. Shi Anbin, 60(1.5分) professor from Tsinghua University, linked the trend 61(1.5分) what he described as a broader movement, in which young people overseas have embraced traditional Chinese practices. He argued that original Chinese designs can bridge both generational and cultural divides. Zhang Di, from Renmin University of China, 62(1.5分) (strike) a more practical note. He attributed the wrapper’s appeal to its visual language — bold colors and simple composition , 63(1.5分) requires no specific cultural knowledge for interpretation. He added that short-term online buzz does not guarantee lasting market recognition. Product 64(1.5分) (fundamental) — taste, quality, convenience and adaptability — are what ultimately keep customers. He advised heritage brands to use any current attention to study target markets 65(1.5分) , accordingly, adjust their offerings. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你校为每个班都开辟了班级试验田（class farm plots）。请你为校英文报写一篇短文，内容包括： （1）简述该项目； （2）从两个不同方面论证其益处； （3）鼓励大家积极参与。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Class Farm Plots in Our School ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Holly boarded a plane at JFK Airport in New York City. She was excited to spend a year studying in France. Yet one thought bothered her throughout the flight: “Can they understand me?” Her fears proved justified. Within days of arriving in France, Holly felt completely lost. Simple tasks, like ordering coffee or asking for directions, became exhausting battles. She felt very lonely and missed home terribly. The only comfort came in a package from her mother. It was filled with Holly’s favorite treat: Skippy peanut butter, which was impossible to be found in France. She rushed to the post office to get the package. On the way, she even imagined herself opening the package and eating the comfort food right there! But at the counter, the attendant couldn’t speak any English at all. Holly switched to her awkward French. However, the attendant just shook her head. The more she repeated herself, the more frustrated — and hopeless — she felt. Obviously, she couldn’t understand Holly’s French, either. Just as Holly was about to break down in tears — not just over the peanut butter, but over everything: the loneliness, the endless struggle to be understood — a gentle voice came from behind, “Can I help you?” Holly turned to see a French woman about her mother’s age, with kind eyes and a warm smile. Her name was Jouve. After Holly explained her situation in English, Jouve placed a reassuring hand on Holly’s arm and spoke to the attendant in rapid, fluent French. Within two minutes, the package was handed over. Holly held it like a treasure. On their way to the parking lot, Holly poured out her heart — the language barrier, the isolation, the homesickness. Jouve listened quietly, her eyes full of sympathy. Before they parted, she asked, “Why not join my family for dinner this Sunday?” 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That meal changed everything. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holly decided to pass on Jouve’s kindness to other international students. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
