One day,from inside her house,Tan noticed a finch flying back and forth just outside the glass door,while looking directly at her.One feeder was full of seeds,and the bird sat there but did not cat.Another feeder nearby,committed to highly favored sunflower seeds,was empty."Could this bird possibly be signaling that I should refill its favorite feeder?"Tan wondered.She did refill it,and the finch "immediately went to the feeder and ate and ate and ate." When she began this project,Tan could recognize precisely three birds in her yard.Now,the count is 63 species.As a bird lover and observer,I deeply share her joy at_this learning curve:n 2023,I counted 43 bird species in our little patch of land in southeastern Virginia. Tan's playful humor mixes with complete anthropomorphism (at times:"I want tourist junk food!"declares a baby crow (she has drawn.This playful tone only brings extra warmth to a beautifully written and illustrated volume.This book offers reflections on ways that watching birds can renew our joy in nature,and may be even transform our lives. 21.What form is the book The Backyard Bird Chronicles written in? APoems. B.Novels. C.Diaries. D.Questionnaires. 22.Why does the author meation Tan's observation of a finch? ATo praise Tan's writing ability. B.To urge the protection of the bird. C.To stress the bird's preference. D.To show Tan's curiosity about birds. 23.What does the underlined phrase"this learning curve"in Paragraph 3 referto? A The approach Tan adopted to study bird species. B.The progress Tan made in identifying bird species. CThe joy shared by Tan and the author in bird counting. D.The contrast between Tan and the author in bird counting. 24.What does the author think of Tan's book? A.Pleasant and direct. B.Warm and humorous. C.Fresh and beautiful. D.Precise and transformative. B Movies for kids and teens aren't only designed to entertain.They can also include messages about what's right and wrong,what actions make a hero or bad guy,and how to deal with moral challenges.Consider The Hate U Give,a movie that deals with how teens can use their voice against racialized gun violence.Or WALL-E,which contains messages about environmental destruction and consumerism But do children and teens want to watch movies containing lessons about moral behavior?Researches at UCLA explored the question in a recent report.They analyzed over 1,700 movies for children and teens released in theaters after 2010 to see how many character strengths were featured in each film.The quality and success of the films were measured in different ways:how many stars each movie received,how much money each movie made in ticket sales during the opening weekend,and audience and film critic scores. The results?Movies that noticeably featured character strengths tended to make more money on the opening weekend both within the United States and internationally compared to movies without character strengths.This was true even when the researchers accounted for how many stars the film received,and the audience and critc scores,so their success wasn't just about being better-quality movies. Qualities like perseverance ),courage,and teamwork were featured most often (in over 300 films each).But qualities like humility and integrity (wepe less commonly highlighted (in fewer than 100 films each)."These are the character strengths that children struggle with the most,and so creators may be missing an opportunity to help children where they need it most,"explain the researchers.The report also found movies made for 13-to 18-year-olds had fewer character strengths compared to movies for younger children. "Teens are at a critical stage where they are easily influenced by their social environments,including media,"explain the researchers."There is a clear gap in the industry for content directed at teens that promotes positive character strengths to help youth so they can better deal with the key challenges and changes they are experiencing." 25.What do The Hate U Give and WALL-Ehave in common? A.Both intend to criticize racism. B.Both are likely to develop values. C.Both focus on environmental issues.D.Both are mainly designed to entertain. 2F.What did the report find about the movies featuring character strengths? AThey gained impressive ticket sales. B.They got lower audience and critic scores. CThey received more negative film reviews. D.They were mainly targeted at overseas audience. 27.What can we learn about the quality "integrity"? A.It brought success to over300 films. B.It is a character familiar to most children. C.It needs to be emphasized in more films. D.It was featured more in films for younger children. 28.What is the best title for the text? A.Are Movies with Moral Lessons Popular? B.Does the Film Industry Fail Its Young Audience? C.What Can Children Learn from Watching Movies? D.Are Films for Teens Different from Films for Young Children? C Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive educational tour of the inside of the human body-and no,not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus.Thisin the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students,.digitally,through its Quest virtual reality(VRI虚拟现实)headsets. Bringing VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities.For instance,it may allow drama students in Royal Academy of Dramatic Art to feel like they're having an immersive,real-time experience watching Shakespeare's work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17th century.New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes,and Morehouse College has developed a "digita twin campus"to teach students a range of subjects through VR,both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology. But VRalso creates thorny questions about digital safety and the potential harm to humans who are having more digital interactions and fewer in-person ones.Moreover,the cost of integrating VR headsets into the classroom could be a hurdle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources.While cheaper than some other headsets on the market,Meta's Quest 3 devices still start at $499 each.Most importantly,it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better. "I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,"said Vincent Quan,an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab."With technology,sure,it can have a lot of promise,but at the same time,there can also be a lot of exaggeration,and I think it's important to carefully evaluate these types of technologies.Sometimes you don't know if it's just innovative and cool versus actually impactful." 29.How does the author lead in the topic in the first paragraph? A.By describing a fictional TV series.B.By creating an appealing scene. C.By presentinganew mnodeoftransport.D.Byinvolvingpeoplein an educationatour. 30.Why does the author mention three schools in the second paragraph? A.To promote the sales of VR devices. B.To give examples of VR's global popularity C.To stress new learning chances brought by VR. D.To encourage more teachers to try VR in learming. 31.What can be inferred about VR from the third paragraph? A.VR devices are more cost-effective than the other headsets. B,VR can be very costly for financially struggling schools. C.People are negative about VR's usefulness in students'learing D.People are concerned about VR's potential harms to students in school. 32.What can we conclude about VR in education according to Vincent Quan? A.VR promises to be creative and helpful in students'learning. B.VR technology has been underestimated in benefiting teaching. C.VR has become a well-developed technology in promoting learning. D.VR needs more related researches to measure its impact on learming. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Four Common Communication Mistakes It can be embarrassing to make mistakes in communication.For example,if you send an email with a grammatical mistake,you can end up looking unprofessional 33For example,they can push away colleagues or customers.Now let's lookat some common communication mistakes. 改 Spelling,tone and grammatical mistakes can make you look careless.That's why it's essential to check all of your communications before you send them.

One lunchtime,when I was in the third grade,will forever stay in my memory.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play and,for weeks,my mother had rehearsed (my lines with me.But no matter how easily I acted at home,as soon as I stepped on stage,every word disappeared from my head.Finally,my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator's (part to the play,and asked me to change roles.Her words,though kindly expressed,still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day but she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practise my lines,she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose bushes was turning green.Under the huge bushes,we could see bunches of yellow dandelions in the grass,as if a painter had touched the landscape with dabs of gold.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion."1 think I'm going to dig up all these weeds," she said,pulling it up by its roots."From now on,we'll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions,"I protested."All flowers are beautiful,even dandelions." My mother looked at me seriously."Yes,every flower gives pleasure in its own way,doesn't it?"she asked thoughtfully.I nodded,pleased that I had won her over. "And that is true of people too,"she added."Not everyone can be the princess,but there is no shame in that."Relieved that she had guessed my pain,I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled at me as only a mother can. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 "But you will be a beautiful narrator,"she said,encouraging and comforting me as she ahways did.
