【解析】
【原文】M: Well, I want to talk about an activity course for the summer holidays. It operated for the first time last year for a six-week period from the middle of July until the end of August.
This year we will hold the course again. There will be different things to do every week, so the children won’t repeat the same activities over and over again. However, I don’t expect many children will come for the whole summer, as I’m sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. It makes it easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is available to children aged 8-10. Next year, those aged 5-7 are welcome to the course. If you or your child is interested in coming to our summer activity course, go to our website, www.summeractivities.co.uk and print out an application form. Send it in with part payment as soon as possible. You'll need to tell us in which weeks you are planning to attend the course straightaway, but you won't need to choose your activities in advance.

From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
24. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises?
A. They are where crested ibises were first found.
B. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
25. What can we conclude from paragraph 4?
A. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B. It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
26. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Merciful and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Shocked and curious. D. Sorry and regretful.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rare animals in China: crested ibises
B. Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C. Endangered crested ibises making a comeback
D. Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下，成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。朱鹗的保护不仅展示了古老生物的力量，也显示了生态环境保护的必要性和紧迫性。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.(1981年，全世界的朱鹮只剩下7只，这些朱鹮只在中国西北陕西省阳县和秦岭深处发现，作为中国南北自然分界线的秦岭成为了野生朱鹮最后的避难所。)”可知，之所以秦岭对朱鹮来说是重要的，是因为这里曾经是朱鹮最后的栖息地。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. (自1981年以来，阳县当地政府提出了四项保护物种的禁令，禁止在鸟类的生活区狩猎，砍伐它们筑巢的树木，在它们寻找食物的区域使用化学物质，以及在它们的繁殖区开枪。)”可知，本段介绍的是政府针对于保护野生动物提出的相应保护政策和措施,即政府在拯救朱鹮方面起着关键作用。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen(“幸运的是，朱鹮这种古老的鸟类还在飞来飞去，”赞林森说。)”可知，赞林森认为，很幸运能够看到这种古老的鸟儿还能飞来飞去，这是保护朱鹮取得的成果，因此推断这让赞林森感到高兴和宽慰。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.(从世界上最后的7只到全球5000多只，中国花了近40年的时间将朱鹮从灭绝的边缘救了回来。)”以及倒数第二段中“Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.(多年来的不懈努力取得了可喜的成果。据估计，目前世界上有5000多只朱鹮，其中大部分生活在陕西。这种鸟在中国的栖息地从1981年的不到5平方公里增加到现在的1.5万平方公里。)”可知，文章介绍的是这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下，成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。中国自1991年开始人工繁育朱鹗，截至去年已在陕西繁育了400多只。多年的努力带来了显著成果。C选项“Endangered crested ibises making a comeback(濒危朱鹮不断回归)”概括文章主要内容，为最佳标题。故选C。
C
I am a professor of clinical psychology. Some time ago, I got halfway through a day of teaching before a co-worker pointed out to me I was quite carelessly wearing a pair of different shoes, one red and one black. I felt so embarrassed and upset but I would have to go teach my course like this. When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.
I shared my mistake because I realized that trying hide it was interfering with my ability to concentrate my mind on my teaching — but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself.
Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes. We might feel self-criticism and shame if we do make some.
However, mistake making is part of learning new things, and it can draw us closer to others. It opens up the possibility of accepting mistakes gladly, letting us be more open and engaged in what we are doing.
We can say words of kindness and self-compassion to ourselves: Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time; noticing our own imperfections can help us to be kind to others when we notice they are imperfect, too. When we practice our mistakes in this way, they can become opportunities to open up to others, learn about ourselves, and connect even more with what matters to us.
28. How does the author develop paragraph 1?
A. By giving some examples. B. By following time order.
C. By doing scientific experiments. D. By sharing personal experience.
29. What was the result of the author sharing his mistake?
A. Shameful. B. Unexpected. C. Punishable. D. Unaccepted.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Intentions to avoid mistakes. B. Advantages of making mistakes.
C. Possibilities of making mistakes. D. Efforts to avoid making mistakes.
31. What can we know about mistakes from the last paragraph?
A. They interfere with what we are doing.
B. They draw too much attention from us.
C. They are big opportunities to get us improved.
D. They make us feel irresponsible and defeated.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者通过主动告诉学生自己犯的错误，不但消除了自己内心的尴尬、沮丧，同时还拉进了自己与学生之间的距离。向他人敞开心扉，不仅可以了解自己，还能将自己与其他的事情联系起来。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段第一句提到“I am a professor of clinical psychology. ”（我是一名临床心理学的教授）且该段的主语都使用了第一人称I (我)。由此判断，作者通过分享自己的经历来写第一段的内容。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.”（我感到很尴尬和沮丧，但我必须这样去教我的课程。当我意识到我是多么想要消失和避免这种情况时，我决定去面对它。我走进教室，向同学们宣布我穿了两双不同的鞋，并把他们的注意力引到我的脚上。每个人都笑了，我们继续上课。多年以后，那个班的一个学生告诉我，那是她第一次想到也许，只是也许，她也可以成为一名教授。）和第二段“but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself”（但我不知道这也有助于缩短学生和我自己之间的心理距离）由此判断，作者在发现自己犯错之后感到非常的尴尬，同时内心也十分想上好课，但是作者选择了向学生直言自己犯的错误，没想到得到了学生的笑声，课也进行的十分顺利。并且当时在作者课上的学生也告诉作者，正是看到了当时的那一幕，也燃起了自己想要成为老师的想法，拉近了学生和自己之间的心理距离。因此作者在向学生坦白之后得到了一些自己没有意想到的结果。A. Shameful.羞耻的；B. Unexpected.意想不到的；C. Punishable.该惩罚的；D. Unaccepted.未被接受的。B项符合文意。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段提到“Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes.”（很多情况下，人们会因为犯错而受到惩罚或羞辱。我们努力避免犯错是因为我们渴望成功，以及别人对我们的错误的反应。）很多情况下人们不想犯错是想要成功，也避免别人对自己犯错之后的反应。由此判断，该段主要讲述的是人们为什么想要避免犯错，即避免犯错的意图。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段第二句提到“Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time”（犯错是自然的，也是符合人性的；对于这个错误，我们可以对自己好一点，并且下次努力做得更好）可知，犯错促使人下次努力做得更好，可得出犯错反而是能够帮助人进行自我提升的机会。故选C。
D
Clock making is a traditional craft which involves the building and repair of clocks. But it is now on the red list drawn up by the Heritage Crafts Association(HCA), which has warned that more specialists are retiring than entering the profession.
David Poole, a former master, said, “The shortage of clock makers is a problem. Whereas there used to be clock makers on the high street, a clock repair shop is a rare sight today. People will find it extremely difficult to identify anyone to repair their clocks.”
There are only about 250 makers and repairers left across Britain, according to HCA’s research. When specialists are near retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices(学徒)as happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gaps.
Howard Walwyn, a leading dealer in Kensington, warned that, if expertise in repairing is lost, clocks will become inanimate objects rather than living things, adding, “Most clock makers have fiddled with(捣鼓)clocks as kids, taking them apart, and trying to get them to work. The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of screens and show little interest in clock making. I've got some younger clock makers, but they're few and far between.”
“There are also concerns that too many clock makers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically(审美地)wrong,” said Jonathan Betts, an adviser to the National Trust. He added, “Museum collections and more sensitive private collectors would much rather not have a clock cleaned so it looks brand new, but an awful lot of restorers reject that.” Mr. Poole, who became a clock maker in the1990s,said,“There are few people coming into the business. Most people who are in it are edging towards retirement, as am I. If people aren't skilled, all those lovely things won't be looked after properly.”
32. What does the underlined phrase "on the red list"in paragraph 1 mean?
A. On top of standard. B. In need of improvement.
C. In response to demand. D. At risk of extinction.
33. What belongs to a traditional practice in the clock making field?
A. Its pairing each apprentice with a specialist.
B. Its tailoring training programs for apprentices.
C. Its bringing in new blood by employing apprentices.
D. Its postponing experienced specialists' retirement age.
34. What prevents young kids from being clock makers according to Howard Walwyn?
A. A relatively low salary. B. The lack of interest in clock making.
C. The tough employment environment. D. A limited number of training courses.
35. What is Jonathan Betts' concern?
A. Many repairers adopt modern methods in clock making.
B. Many restorers are incapable of fixing mechanical clocks.
C. Private collectors show no interest in traditional techniques.
D. Museums refuse to include cleaned clocks in their collections.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国传统的钟表制造和维修工艺面临着匠人流失的问题。相关专家呼吁重视年轻人对传统钟表制作的教育和培训，以保护这一重要的传统工艺。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“which has warned that more specialists are retiring than entering the profession.(该机构警告称，退休的专家比进入该行业的专家要多。)”可知，HCA警告称退休的专家比进入该行业的专家要多，由此推断划线词的意思是英国传统的钟表制造和维修工艺面临着匠人流失愈发严重的问题。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When specialists are near retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices(学徒)as happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gaps.(当专家快退休时，他们通常无法负担起像过去那样培养学徒。此外，人们担心目前存留下来的少数培训课程无法填补这些空缺。)”可知，过去的时候，钟表制造领域的传统做法是通过雇佣学徒来引入新鲜血液。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of screens and show little interest in clock making. I've got some younger clock makers, but they're few and far between.(问题是，现在的孩子们把所有的时间都花在屏幕前，对制作钟表没有什么兴趣。我有一些年轻的钟表匠，但他们少之又少。)”可知，Howard Walwyn认为年轻的孩子们对制作钟表缺乏兴趣使得他们不愿意进入钟表行业。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““There are also concerns that too many clock makers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically(审美地)wrong,” said Jonathan Betts,(“人们还担心，太多钟表制造商准备使用现代机械解决方案来使钟表运转，即使这些解决方案在审美上是错误的，”Jonathan Betts说道。)”可知，Jonathan Betts担心的是许多修理工采用现代方法制造钟表，而现代的修理方法在审美上是错误的。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些避免过度购物的方法和建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Home organization has been turned into an art form by social media influences who share beautiful images of boxes arranged by color or packed neatly into baskets. This is American addiction with organizing.(在社交媒体的影响下，家庭整理已经变成了一种艺术形式，他们分享了按颜色排列或整齐地装进篮子里的盒子的美丽图片。这是美国人对组织整理的沉迷)”以及后文“It’s not that we need to organize our junk to make it prettier. It’s that we need to buy less stuff. Here are some tips to help you break up with overbuying.(这并不是说我们需要把我们的垃圾整理得更漂亮。而是我们需要少买东西。这里有一些建议可以帮助你摆脱过度购买)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出美国喜欢组织整理却忽视了问题的根源是少买东西。故D选项“但是他们忽视了问题的根源”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Break it into manageable parts, such as kitchen tools or winter clothes. Then identify what you use regularly and what can go.(把它分成易于管理的部分，比如厨房工具或冬天的衣服。然后确定哪些是你经常使用的，哪些可以放弃)”可知，后文提到了分成小部分来整理，说明不必一次性整理整个家庭。故E选项“你不必一次检查你的整个家庭”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Also consider which belongings bring you joy and which ones you wouldn’t miss if they were gone. Do clothes and shoes make you happy, or do you prefer the items you brought back from a trip? Are your books your most prized possessions?(还要考虑一下哪些东西能给你带来快乐，哪些东西如果没有了你也不会想念。是衣服和鞋子让你快乐，还是你更喜欢从旅行中带回来的东西？你的书是你最珍贵的财产吗？)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应说明上文列举的这些问题的作用：帮助你在购物时分清轻重缓急。故G选项“知道这些问题的答案会帮助你在购物时分清轻重缓急”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Shop with intention. Some people buy items because they’re on sale. Some think it’s necessary to stock up on almost everything. Other people shop because it makes them happy.(带着目的购物。有些人买东西是因为它们在打折。有些人认为有必要囤积几乎所有的东西。其他人购物是因为这让他们快乐)”以及后文“After momentary happiness, the items become part of the mountain of stuff unwanted.(短暂的快乐过后，这些东西就变成了堆积如山的不想要的东西的一部分)”可知，上文提到了其他人购物是因为这让他们快乐，后文则说短暂的快乐，说明这种原因产生的快乐和兴奋不会太久。故F选项“不管是什么原因，兴奋通常不会持续太久”符合语境，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据本段内容“Deciding to buy something may not require much mental energy. But deciding what to do with unwanted items can be stressful and take up considerable time. Mindless shop-ping affects our mental health and teaches our children not to value their belongings because it makes each item seem less special. Doing so will benefit all of us, the next generation and our planet.(决定买东西可能不需要太多的精力。但是，决定如何处理不想要的东西可能会让人感到压力，而且会占用相当多的时间。盲目购物会影响我们的心理健康，并教会我们的孩子不要珍惜自己的东西，因为这会让每件东西看起来都不那么特别。这样做将有利于我们所有人、下一代和我们的地球)”可知，本段提到花时间来决定要购买的东西，而不是盲目购物，即购物要谨慎选择。故A选项“谨慎购物”符合语境，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国春秋时期的军事家孙武及其著作《孙子兵法》。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：《孙子兵法》是中国传奇军事家孙武在春秋时期(公元前770-476年)撰写的，鼓舞了2500年的胜利。根据时间状语during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC)可知，此处使用一般过去时，Sunzi Bingfa or The Art of War和write为被动关系，需用被动语态；主语为专有名词，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填was written。
【57题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：它是历史上最具影响力的三大军事书籍之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”为固定结构，空处需填形容词最高级，作定语。故填most influential。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：孙武，又称孙子或孙武子，他的家庭和教育背景鲜为人知，只知道他出生在齐国，位于今天的山东省，他的家族在那里生活了几代人。area是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且area发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。空处作谓语，live发生在was born之前，表示“过去的过去”，需用过去完成时。故填had lived。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：秦王读了孙的军书，被这位军事家对战争的深刻见解所折服。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词read，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词the military treatise，二者为逻辑动宾关系，需填过去分词形式。故填presented。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：在接下来的几年里，孙运用他的理论和战争哲学，帮助吴国赢得了一系列与一些最强大的国家的重大战役。serve as为固定搭配，表示“用作，充当”。故填as。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词helped，空处需填非谓语动词作状语，Sun和use之间为逻辑主谓关系，需用现在分词形式，作状语。故填using。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：《孙子兵法》共分13章，在这些章节中，孙强调了军事战略中的定位和灵活应对战场上不断变化的情况的重要性。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词13 chapters指物，在定语从句中作介词in的宾语，需用which引导。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处和strategy并列，需填名词作宾语，flexible的名词形式是flexibility。故填flexibility。
【65题详解】

67. 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。
I am a volunteer of Story Dogs. Rosie and I began our Story Dogs journey at a local elementary school in Term 2 this year.
Story Dogs is based on the successful American literacy program, Reading Education Assistance Dogs, which was built around the appealing idea of children and young adolescents reading to dogs.
Reading sessions take place in a quiet area of the school grounds, such as the library or outside the classroom. A reading session is about 20 minutes long, where each child is one-on- one with the dog team. Books are chosen to suit the student’s reading level.
Jayon, a Year 2 student, is such a good boy as everyone likes. No one is perfect. Jayon, however, wanted nothing to do with reading! That made Jayon’s teachers and parents feel helpless. His wonderful teacher used all kinds of teaching methods, but none of them improved. At the same time, his parents trembled with his reading performance. Jayon struggled to stay focused, which meant he was disinterested in his school work... until he met Rosie!
When Jayon first came to read with us, I noticed a few things about his reading. For example, he would guess the words and become distracted very easily. He was unable to hold the book still, which would obviously make it difficult for him to read and he would lose interest very quickly, which meant I would have to read to him.
So I came up with a plan. I decided I would hold the book instead and point to each word and helped him to sound the words out instead of guessing. To keep him focused and still, I asked him to pat Rosie’s back, which helped keep his hands busy. Rosie certainly didn’t mind a bit!
Using these methods, Jayon’s reading improved every week! He developed a beautiful bond with Rosie and she would show him so much love and affection! She knew he needed her and it was lovely to watch them together. With weeks passing by, Jayon’s enthusiasm for reading became stronger.
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。
Jayon finally loved reading.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was told that Jayon would receive the Growth Award at the end of year.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jayon finally loved reading. He told me he would even read to his own dog at home. His wonderful teacher also kept me up to date with his progress in class. It was wonderful to hear that not only had his reading improved dramatically but his writing, focus and behavior had also improved! By the end of the last term of school, he had climbed 9... yes, 9 reading levels! Each week I was shocked at how much he had improved and how he would absolutely nail those big words which was once very scary!
I was told that Jayon would receive the Growth Award at the end of year. I was fortunate to be able to witness the wonderful moment when Jayon was presented with his award. And I was extremely proud that the Story Dogs program was given some credit to his achievement, alongside the hard work and patience of his teachers. It was an emotional and proud moment for his lovely family as well who were very grateful to Rosie and me! All of my students looked forward to Rosie and me visiting every week! Knowing that my beautiful Rosie and I can have such a huge impact on their future makes it all worthwhile!
【解析】

【原文】M: Well, I want to talk about an activity course for the summer holidays. It operated for the first time last year for a six-week period from the middle of July until the end of August.
This year we will hold the course again. There will be different things to do every week, so the children won’t repeat the same activities over and over again. However, I don’t expect many children will come for the whole summer, as I’m sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. It makes it easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is available to children aged 8-10. Next year, those aged 5-7 are welcome to the course. If you or your child is interested in coming to our summer activity course, go to our website, www.summeractivities.co.uk and print out an application form. Send it in with part payment as soon as possible. You'll need to tell us in which weeks you are planning to attend the course straightaway, but you won't need to choose your activities in advance.

From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
24. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises?
A. They are where crested ibises were first found.
B. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
25. What can we conclude from paragraph 4?
A. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B. It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
26. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Merciful and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Shocked and curious. D. Sorry and regretful.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rare animals in China: crested ibises
B. Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C. Endangered crested ibises making a comeback
D. Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下，成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。朱鹗的保护不仅展示了古老生物的力量，也显示了生态环境保护的必要性和紧迫性。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.(1981年，全世界的朱鹮只剩下7只，这些朱鹮只在中国西北陕西省阳县和秦岭深处发现，作为中国南北自然分界线的秦岭成为了野生朱鹮最后的避难所。)”可知，之所以秦岭对朱鹮来说是重要的，是因为这里曾经是朱鹮最后的栖息地。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. (自1981年以来，阳县当地政府提出了四项保护物种的禁令，禁止在鸟类的生活区狩猎，砍伐它们筑巢的树木，在它们寻找食物的区域使用化学物质，以及在它们的繁殖区开枪。)”可知，本段介绍的是政府针对于保护野生动物提出的相应保护政策和措施,即政府在拯救朱鹮方面起着关键作用。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen(“幸运的是，朱鹮这种古老的鸟类还在飞来飞去，”赞林森说。)”可知，赞林森认为，很幸运能够看到这种古老的鸟儿还能飞来飞去，这是保护朱鹮取得的成果，因此推断这让赞林森感到高兴和宽慰。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.(从世界上最后的7只到全球5000多只，中国花了近40年的时间将朱鹮从灭绝的边缘救了回来。)”以及倒数第二段中“Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.(多年来的不懈努力取得了可喜的成果。据估计，目前世界上有5000多只朱鹮，其中大部分生活在陕西。这种鸟在中国的栖息地从1981年的不到5平方公里增加到现在的1.5万平方公里。)”可知，文章介绍的是这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下，成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。中国自1991年开始人工繁育朱鹗，截至去年已在陕西繁育了400多只。多年的努力带来了显著成果。C选项“Endangered crested ibises making a comeback(濒危朱鹮不断回归)”概括文章主要内容，为最佳标题。故选C。
C
I am a professor of clinical psychology. Some time ago, I got halfway through a day of teaching before a co-worker pointed out to me I was quite carelessly wearing a pair of different shoes, one red and one black. I felt so embarrassed and upset but I would have to go teach my course like this. When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.
I shared my mistake because I realized that trying hide it was interfering with my ability to concentrate my mind on my teaching — but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself.
Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes. We might feel self-criticism and shame if we do make some.
However, mistake making is part of learning new things, and it can draw us closer to others. It opens up the possibility of accepting mistakes gladly, letting us be more open and engaged in what we are doing.
We can say words of kindness and self-compassion to ourselves: Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time; noticing our own imperfections can help us to be kind to others when we notice they are imperfect, too. When we practice our mistakes in this way, they can become opportunities to open up to others, learn about ourselves, and connect even more with what matters to us.
28. How does the author develop paragraph 1?
A. By giving some examples. B. By following time order.
C. By doing scientific experiments. D. By sharing personal experience.
29. What was the result of the author sharing his mistake?
A. Shameful. B. Unexpected. C. Punishable. D. Unaccepted.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Intentions to avoid mistakes. B. Advantages of making mistakes.
C. Possibilities of making mistakes. D. Efforts to avoid making mistakes.
31. What can we know about mistakes from the last paragraph?
A. They interfere with what we are doing.
B. They draw too much attention from us.
C. They are big opportunities to get us improved.
D. They make us feel irresponsible and defeated.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者通过主动告诉学生自己犯的错误，不但消除了自己内心的尴尬、沮丧，同时还拉进了自己与学生之间的距离。向他人敞开心扉，不仅可以了解自己，还能将自己与其他的事情联系起来。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段第一句提到“I am a professor of clinical psychology. ”（我是一名临床心理学的教授）且该段的主语都使用了第一人称I (我)。由此判断，作者通过分享自己的经历来写第一段的内容。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“When I noticed how much I wanted to disappear and avoid this situation, I was determined to face it instead. I walked into class and announced to the students that I was wearing two shoes from different pairs, and directed their attention to my feet. Everyone laughed and we went on with class. Years later, a student in that class told me that this was the moment she first thought that maybe, just maybe, she could be a professor, too.”（我感到很尴尬和沮丧，但我必须这样去教我的课程。当我意识到我是多么想要消失和避免这种情况时，我决定去面对它。我走进教室，向同学们宣布我穿了两双不同的鞋，并把他们的注意力引到我的脚上。每个人都笑了，我们继续上课。多年以后，那个班的一个学生告诉我，那是她第一次想到也许，只是也许，她也可以成为一名教授。）和第二段“but I had no idea that it would also help shorten the psychological distance between my students and myself”（但我不知道这也有助于缩短学生和我自己之间的心理距离）由此判断，作者在发现自己犯错之后感到非常的尴尬，同时内心也十分想上好课，但是作者选择了向学生直言自己犯的错误，没想到得到了学生的笑声，课也进行的十分顺利。并且当时在作者课上的学生也告诉作者，正是看到了当时的那一幕，也燃起了自己想要成为老师的想法，拉近了学生和自己之间的心理距离。因此作者在向学生坦白之后得到了一些自己没有意想到的结果。A. Shameful.羞耻的；B. Unexpected.意想不到的；C. Punishable.该惩罚的；D. Unaccepted.未被接受的。B项符合文意。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段提到“Many contexts may punish or shame people for making mistakes. Our efforts to avoid them result from our desires for success, and how others will respond to our mistakes.”（很多情况下，人们会因为犯错而受到惩罚或羞辱。我们努力避免犯错是因为我们渴望成功，以及别人对我们的错误的反应。）很多情况下人们不想犯错是想要成功，也避免别人对自己犯错之后的反应。由此判断，该段主要讲述的是人们为什么想要避免犯错，即避免犯错的意图。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段第二句提到“Mistakes are natural and human; we can be kind to ourselves for this error and still try to do better next time”（犯错是自然的，也是符合人性的；对于这个错误，我们可以对自己好一点，并且下次努力做得更好）可知，犯错促使人下次努力做得更好，可得出犯错反而是能够帮助人进行自我提升的机会。故选C。
D
Clock making is a traditional craft which involves the building and repair of clocks. But it is now on the red list drawn up by the Heritage Crafts Association(HCA), which has warned that more specialists are retiring than entering the profession.
David Poole, a former master, said, “The shortage of clock makers is a problem. Whereas there used to be clock makers on the high street, a clock repair shop is a rare sight today. People will find it extremely difficult to identify anyone to repair their clocks.”
There are only about 250 makers and repairers left across Britain, according to HCA’s research. When specialists are near retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices(学徒)as happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gaps.
Howard Walwyn, a leading dealer in Kensington, warned that, if expertise in repairing is lost, clocks will become inanimate objects rather than living things, adding, “Most clock makers have fiddled with(捣鼓)clocks as kids, taking them apart, and trying to get them to work. The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of screens and show little interest in clock making. I've got some younger clock makers, but they're few and far between.”
“There are also concerns that too many clock makers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically(审美地)wrong,” said Jonathan Betts, an adviser to the National Trust. He added, “Museum collections and more sensitive private collectors would much rather not have a clock cleaned so it looks brand new, but an awful lot of restorers reject that.” Mr. Poole, who became a clock maker in the1990s,said,“There are few people coming into the business. Most people who are in it are edging towards retirement, as am I. If people aren't skilled, all those lovely things won't be looked after properly.”
32. What does the underlined phrase "on the red list"in paragraph 1 mean?
A. On top of standard. B. In need of improvement.
C. In response to demand. D. At risk of extinction.
33. What belongs to a traditional practice in the clock making field?
A. Its pairing each apprentice with a specialist.
B. Its tailoring training programs for apprentices.
C. Its bringing in new blood by employing apprentices.
D. Its postponing experienced specialists' retirement age.
34. What prevents young kids from being clock makers according to Howard Walwyn?
A. A relatively low salary. B. The lack of interest in clock making.
C. The tough employment environment. D. A limited number of training courses.
35. What is Jonathan Betts' concern?
A. Many repairers adopt modern methods in clock making.
B. Many restorers are incapable of fixing mechanical clocks.
C. Private collectors show no interest in traditional techniques.
D. Museums refuse to include cleaned clocks in their collections.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国传统的钟表制造和维修工艺面临着匠人流失的问题。相关专家呼吁重视年轻人对传统钟表制作的教育和培训，以保护这一重要的传统工艺。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“which has warned that more specialists are retiring than entering the profession.(该机构警告称，退休的专家比进入该行业的专家要多。)”可知，HCA警告称退休的专家比进入该行业的专家要多，由此推断划线词的意思是英国传统的钟表制造和维修工艺面临着匠人流失愈发严重的问题。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When specialists are near retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices(学徒)as happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gaps.(当专家快退休时，他们通常无法负担起像过去那样培养学徒。此外，人们担心目前存留下来的少数培训课程无法填补这些空缺。)”可知，过去的时候，钟表制造领域的传统做法是通过雇佣学徒来引入新鲜血液。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of screens and show little interest in clock making. I've got some younger clock makers, but they're few and far between.(问题是，现在的孩子们把所有的时间都花在屏幕前，对制作钟表没有什么兴趣。我有一些年轻的钟表匠，但他们少之又少。)”可知，Howard Walwyn认为年轻的孩子们对制作钟表缺乏兴趣使得他们不愿意进入钟表行业。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““There are also concerns that too many clock makers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically(审美地)wrong,” said Jonathan Betts,(“人们还担心，太多钟表制造商准备使用现代机械解决方案来使钟表运转，即使这些解决方案在审美上是错误的，”Jonathan Betts说道。)”可知，Jonathan Betts担心的是许多修理工采用现代方法制造钟表，而现代的修理方法在审美上是错误的。故选A。

Home organization has been turned into an art form by social media influences who share beautiful images of boxes arranged by color or packed neatly into baskets. This is American addiction with organizing. ____36____ It’s not that we need to organize our junk to make it prettier.It’s that we need to buy less stuff. Here are some tips to help you break up with overbuying.
Begin by taking a look around to see what you have, what you need, and what you can get rid of. Periodically having a check will help you make better shopping decisions and will help reduce purchases. ____37____Break it into manageable parts, such as kitchen tools or winter clothes. Then identify what you use regularly and what can go.
Also consider which belongings bring you joy and which ones you wouldn’t miss if they were gone. Do clothes and shoes make you happy, or do you prefer the items you brought back from a trip? Are your books your most prized possessions? ____38____
Shop with intention. Some people buy items because they’re on sale. Some think it’s necessary to stock up on almost everything. Other people shop because it makes them happy. ____39____After momentary happiness, the items become part of the mountain of stuff unwanted.
____40____Deciding to buy something may not require much mental energy. But deciding what to do with unwanted items can be stressful and take up considerable time. Mindless shop-ping affects our mental health and teaches our children not to value their belongings because it makes each item seem less special. Doing so will benefit all of us, the next generation and our planet.
A. Shop mindfully.
B. Consider our planet.
C. Our shopping habits are complex.
D. But they ignore the root of the problem.
E. You don’t have to check your entire household at once.
F. Whatever the reason, the excitement usually doesn’t last long.
G Knowing the answers to these questions will help you set priorities when shopping.
【答案】36. D 37. E 38. G 39. F 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些避免过度购物的方法和建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Home organization has been turned into an art form by social media influences who share beautiful images of boxes arranged by color or packed neatly into baskets. This is American addiction with organizing.(在社交媒体的影响下，家庭整理已经变成了一种艺术形式，他们分享了按颜色排列或整齐地装进篮子里的盒子的美丽图片。这是美国人对组织整理的沉迷)”以及后文“It’s not that we need to organize our junk to make it prettier. It’s that we need to buy less stuff. Here are some tips to help you break up with overbuying.(这并不是说我们需要把我们的垃圾整理得更漂亮。而是我们需要少买东西。这里有一些建议可以帮助你摆脱过度购买)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出美国喜欢组织整理却忽视了问题的根源是少买东西。故D选项“但是他们忽视了问题的根源”符合语境，故选D。

根据后文“Break it into manageable parts, such as kitchen tools or winter clothes. Then identify what you use regularly and what can go.(把它分成易于管理的部分，比如厨房工具或冬天的衣服。然后确定哪些是你经常使用的，哪些可以放弃)”可知，后文提到了分成小部分来整理，说明不必一次性整理整个家庭。故E选项“你不必一次检查你的整个家庭”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Also consider which belongings bring you joy and which ones you wouldn’t miss if they were gone. Do clothes and shoes make you happy, or do you prefer the items you brought back from a trip? Are your books your most prized possessions?(还要考虑一下哪些东西能给你带来快乐，哪些东西如果没有了你也不会想念。是衣服和鞋子让你快乐，还是你更喜欢从旅行中带回来的东西？你的书是你最珍贵的财产吗？)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应说明上文列举的这些问题的作用：帮助你在购物时分清轻重缓急。故G选项“知道这些问题的答案会帮助你在购物时分清轻重缓急”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Shop with intention. Some people buy items because they’re on sale. Some think it’s necessary to stock up on almost everything. Other people shop because it makes them happy.(带着目的购物。有些人买东西是因为它们在打折。有些人认为有必要囤积几乎所有的东西。其他人购物是因为这让他们快乐)”以及后文“After momentary happiness, the items become part of the mountain of stuff unwanted.(短暂的快乐过后，这些东西就变成了堆积如山的不想要的东西的一部分)”可知，上文提到了其他人购物是因为这让他们快乐，后文则说短暂的快乐，说明这种原因产生的快乐和兴奋不会太久。故F选项“不管是什么原因，兴奋通常不会持续太久”符合语境，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据本段内容“Deciding to buy something may not require much mental energy. But deciding what to do with unwanted items can be stressful and take up considerable time. Mindless shop-ping affects our mental health and teaches our children not to value their belongings because it makes each item seem less special. Doing so will benefit all of us, the next generation and our planet.(决定买东西可能不需要太多的精力。但是，决定如何处理不想要的东西可能会让人感到压力，而且会占用相当多的时间。盲目购物会影响我们的心理健康，并教会我们的孩子不要珍惜自己的东西，因为这会让每件东西看起来都不那么特别。这样做将有利于我们所有人、下一代和我们的地球)”可知，本段提到花时间来决定要购买的东西，而不是盲目购物，即购物要谨慎选择。故A选项“谨慎购物”符合语境，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国春秋时期的军事家孙武及其著作《孙子兵法》。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：《孙子兵法》是中国传奇军事家孙武在春秋时期(公元前770-476年)撰写的，鼓舞了2500年的胜利。根据时间状语during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC)可知，此处使用一般过去时，Sunzi Bingfa or The Art of War和write为被动关系，需用被动语态；主语为专有名词，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填was written。
【57题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：它是历史上最具影响力的三大军事书籍之一。“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”为固定结构，空处需填形容词最高级，作定语。故填most influential。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意：孙武，又称孙子或孙武子，他的家庭和教育背景鲜为人知，只知道他出生在齐国，位于今天的山东省，他的家族在那里生活了几代人。area是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且area发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。空处作谓语，live发生在was born之前，表示“过去的过去”，需用过去完成时。故填had lived。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：秦王读了孙的军书，被这位军事家对战争的深刻见解所折服。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词read，空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词the military treatise，二者为逻辑动宾关系，需填过去分词形式。故填presented。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：在接下来的几年里，孙运用他的理论和战争哲学，帮助吴国赢得了一系列与一些最强大的国家的重大战役。serve as为固定搭配，表示“用作，充当”。故填as。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词helped，空处需填非谓语动词作状语，Sun和use之间为逻辑主谓关系，需用现在分词形式，作状语。故填using。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：《孙子兵法》共分13章，在这些章节中，孙强调了军事战略中的定位和灵活应对战场上不断变化的情况的重要性。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词13 chapters指物，在定语从句中作介词in的宾语，需用which引导。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处和strategy并列，需填名词作宾语，flexible的名词形式是flexibility。故填flexibility。
【65题详解】

67. 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。
I am a volunteer of Story Dogs. Rosie and I began our Story Dogs journey at a local elementary school in Term 2 this year.
Story Dogs is based on the successful American literacy program, Reading Education Assistance Dogs, which was built around the appealing idea of children and young adolescents reading to dogs.
Reading sessions take place in a quiet area of the school grounds, such as the library or outside the classroom. A reading session is about 20 minutes long, where each child is one-on- one with the dog team. Books are chosen to suit the student’s reading level.
Jayon, a Year 2 student, is such a good boy as everyone likes. No one is perfect. Jayon, however, wanted nothing to do with reading! That made Jayon’s teachers and parents feel helpless. His wonderful teacher used all kinds of teaching methods, but none of them improved. At the same time, his parents trembled with his reading performance. Jayon struggled to stay focused, which meant he was disinterested in his school work... until he met Rosie!
When Jayon first came to read with us, I noticed a few things about his reading. For example, he would guess the words and become distracted very easily. He was unable to hold the book still, which would obviously make it difficult for him to read and he would lose interest very quickly, which meant I would have to read to him.
So I came up with a plan. I decided I would hold the book instead and point to each word and helped him to sound the words out instead of guessing. To keep him focused and still, I asked him to pat Rosie’s back, which helped keep his hands busy. Rosie certainly didn’t mind a bit!
Using these methods, Jayon’s reading improved every week! He developed a beautiful bond with Rosie and she would show him so much love and affection! She knew he needed her and it was lovely to watch them together. With weeks passing by, Jayon’s enthusiasm for reading became stronger.
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。
Jayon finally loved reading.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was told that Jayon would receive the Growth Award at the end of year.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jayon finally loved reading. He told me he would even read to his own dog at home. His wonderful teacher also kept me up to date with his progress in class. It was wonderful to hear that not only had his reading improved dramatically but his writing, focus and behavior had also improved! By the end of the last term of school, he had climbed 9... yes, 9 reading levels! Each week I was shocked at how much he had improved and how he would absolutely nail those big words which was once very scary!
I was told that Jayon would receive the Growth Award at the end of year. I was fortunate to be able to witness the wonderful moment when Jayon was presented with his award. And I was extremely proud that the Story Dogs program was given some credit to his achievement, alongside the hard work and patience of his teachers. It was an emotional and proud moment for his lovely family as well who were very grateful to Rosie and me! All of my students looked forward to Rosie and me visiting every week! Knowing that my beautiful Rosie and I can have such a huge impact on their future makes it all worthwhile!
