M: I understand last year’s tour had 45, 000 cyclists. How many do you expect this year?

M: Do you have any other tips for our cyclists this year?
W: Yes. Take water with you, and pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate won’t work.

【原文】
Once there was a pianist in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady was tired of listening to the piano and asked him to sing a song. So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.
He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven’t found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you do nothing about your talent.

I’ve been giving lots of thought recently to the teaching of the science subject at schools. I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science –– the scientific method –– is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.
After all, science isn’t a collection of facts about the world. That’s just called “knowledge”. Rather, science is a process of thinking and making sense of the world, which will then lead to new knowledge. We’ve often heard it said that we should be teaching children not what to think but how to think. However, schools now spend so much of the science subject loading up children’s brains with “knowledge”.
Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.
Yet what seems to be missing today is an understanding of the way we gain this scientific understanding of the world. Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. But social media has only enlarged the societal problem that has been with us.
On top of this, our attention spans(时长)are naturally getting shorter, and we don’t take the time to question our views, or ask whether the information we are getting is reliable. This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on.
This is exactly why we should be teaching more of scientific methods in schools. This remarkable way of seeing, thinking and knowing, is one of humankind’s great riches and the birthright of everyone. And, most wonderfully, it only grows in quality and value the more widely it is shared.
24. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 1?
A. The teaching topics of the science subject.
B. Students’ interest in the science subject.
C. The teaching content of the science subject.
D. The lack of emphasis on science in schools.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The application of science in daily lives.
B. The understanding of science in daily lives.
C. The method of knowing scientific facts.
D. Some scientific phenomena in daily lives.
26. What does the underlined part “the societal problem” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The spread of false information. B. The misunderstanding of science.
C. The popularity of social media. D. The negative impact of social media.
27. What can students get from learning scientific methods?
A. Improved attention in class. B. Growing interest in science.
C. The deeper understanding of science. D. The ability to think critically.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述的是教师应该教学生科学方法而不是简单地灌输科学知识。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m wondering whether spending more time learning how we “do” science –– the scientific method –– is more valuable than simply making children memorize scientific “facts”.”（我想知道花更多的时间学习我们如何“做”科学——科学方法——是否比简单地让孩子记住科学“事实”更有价值。）可知，作者关心的是科学学科的教学内容。故选C项。
25. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Surely, everyone needs a basic scientific understanding. We all need to know some science: facts about the world to help us make informed decisions about important issues that face us all in our everyday lives, from the risks of smoking to the benefits of exercising or why recycling our waste is good for the planet.”（当然，每个人都需要基本的科学认识。我们都需要了解一些科学：关于世界的事实，以帮助我们就日常生活中面临的重要问题做出明智的决定，从吸烟的风险到锻炼的好处，或者为什么回收我们的废物对地球有益。）可知，第三段的主要讲述是日常生活中对科学的理解。故选B项。
26. 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Nowadays, social media has played a significant role in spreading information. However, many people use it as a medium for spreading disinformation or harmful opinions.（如今，社交媒体在传播信息方面发挥了重要作用。然而，许多人将其作为传播虚假信息或有害意见的媒介。）可知，许多人将社交媒体作为传播虚假信息或有害意见的媒介。推断出在这种情况下社交媒体会扩大我们面临的社会问题就是虚假信息的传播，划线部分的“社会问题”和A项“虚假信息的传播”指代相同。故选A项。
27. 推理判断题。根据第五段“This is where thinking scientifically can help. Adopting some of the ways that good science is practiced can help us to critically assess what we believe, question our own views before we attack views we don’t like, and so on.”（这就是科学思考的帮助所在。采用一些好的实践科学的方法可以帮助我们批判性地评估我们的信仰，在攻击我们不喜欢的观点之前质疑我们自己的观点，等等。）可知，学生能从学习科学方法中得到批判性的思考能力。故选D项。
C
Since our earliest school days, we generally accept the idea that some people learn faster than others. However, according to a new study, we actually learn at very similar rates given the same opportunities.
Researchers looked at 1. 3 million “student interactions” across a variety of learning software tools used by 6, 946 learners, ranging from late elementary students to college students. The gathered statistics covered a variety of learning tasks.
The data showed that academic performance gaps come from differences in the starting point of learning, the learning opportunity and access to such opportunity, rather than any learning rate. “This further confirms that educational technologies can provide favorable learning conditions that make it easier to learn something new, like a second language,” says Ken Koedinger, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
“We have all seen cases where somebody gets to a learning outcome sooner than a peer,” says Koedinger. “But what we don’t usually track is where they started. Our results are not contradicting that people end up in different places, but accounting for the fact that where students are starting from can tell us a lot about where they will end up.”
The team suggests that our brains can take different “mental routes” to learn something,which means our learning rates aren’t too different. Given the same opportunities, we can all get to the same point in the way that best suits our experiences and knowledge.
This is useful in figuring out the best ways to pass on knowledge. Though many factors work together when it comes to learning, the researchers want to emphasize that we’re all capable of learning.
“No matter who you are, you can make it,”says scientist Paulo Carvalho from CarnegieMellon University. “You might have had fewer prior opportunities in your life, so it may be harder at first than it is for other people. But you will make just as much progress as anyone else as long as you hold on to your learning.”
28. How did the researchers carry out their study?
A. By doing online surveys.
B. By introducing a concept.
C. By collecting data on learners.
D. By conducting experiments.
29. What causes academic performance gaps according to the study?
A. The learning rate.
B. The learning outcome.
C. The learning task.
D. The learning opportunity.
30. What are we supposed to do according to the new study?
A. Stick to our learning goals wherever we start.
B. Take different routes to learn something new.
C. Try every means to increase our learning rate.
D. Seek learning opportunities at a very young age.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Can You Learn Something Faster?
B. What Is Behind Your Learning Progress?
C. Why Is The Achievement Gap Growing?
D. Where Is Our Starting Point Of Learning?
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究即一项新研究表明，人们在相同的学习机会下，学习速度非常相似。研究人员通过观察学习软件工具的130万个学生互动情况，发现学术表现差距主要来自学习起点和学习机会的差异，而不是学习速度。因此，研究人员强调，无论你是谁，你都有能力学习。只要坚持学习，你将取得与他人一样的进步。
28. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers looked at 1. 3 million “student interactions” across a variety of learning software tools used by 6, 946 learners, ranging from late elementary students to college students. The gathered statistics covered a variety of learning tasks.(研究人员观察了6946名学习者使用各种学习软件工具进行的130万次“学生互动”。收集的统计数据涵盖了各种学习任务。)”可知，该研究的开展是以通过收集学习者的数据的方式开展的。故选C。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The data showed that academic performance gaps come from differences in the starting point of learning, the learning opportunity and access to such opportunity, rather than any learning rate. (数据显示，学习成绩差距来自学习起点、学习机会和获得机会的不同，而不是学习速度。)”可知，研究表明，学习机会导致学业成绩差距。故选D。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““You might have had fewer prior opportunities in your life, so it may be harder at first than it is for other people. But you will make just as much progress as anyone else as long as you hold on to your learning.”(“在你的生活中，你之前的机会可能更少，所以一开始可能比其他人更难。但只要你坚持学习，你就会取得和别人一样大的进步。”)”可知，新研究建议无论我们从哪里开始，都要坚持我们的学习目标，就会取得和别人一样大的进步。故选A。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The data showed that academic performance gaps come from differences in the starting point of learning, the learning opportunity and access to such opportunity, rather than any learning rate. (数据显示，学习成绩差距来自学习起点、学习机会和获得机会的不同，而不是学习速度。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍了一项新的研究即一项新研究表明，人们在相同的学习机会下，学习速度非常相似。研究人员通过观察学习软件工具的130万个学生互动情况，发现学术表现差距主要来自学习起点和学习机会的差异，而不是学习速度。因此，研究人员强调，无论你是谁，你都有能力学习。只要坚持学习，你将取得与他人一样的进步。由此B选项“What Is Behind Your Learning Progress?(你学习进步的背后是什么?)”概括文章的主要内容，文章对此问题进行了回答。故选B。
D
At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.
A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector (领域). It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code (编码) and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong major. Not being able to code limits your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skill. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.
32. What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Personal learning style. B. Sex characteristic.
C. Conventional sex concept. D. Profession difference.
33. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?
A. Increasing job possibility. B. Winning popularity.
C. Improving language ability. D. Enriching imagination.
34. How did the author feel for her major choice?
A. Satisfied. B. Active.
C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Art or Science, Either is OK
B. Good Subjects, Good Future
C. Girls, Choose More Wisely
D. Catch Chances, Change the World
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】本文为夹叙夹议的文章。作者以自己的经历告诉读者：女性也应该学习理科，不要拘泥于传统的性别观念。
32. 词义猜测题。由第二段中的“In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages”事实上我就是“a gender stereotype”的受害者，这种刻板印象从一出生就变得更加强烈，男人学科学和数学，女人学艺术或语言。Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. 计算机科学、技术和物理在我十几岁的世界观中根本不存在。根据that从句解释了“a gender stereotype”。a gender stereotype指的是男性学习理科和数学，女性学习艺术和语言。结合选项，可知gender stereotype指的是人们传统的性别观念，故C选项正确
33. 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those question.”当我参加工作面试的时候，面试官经常问：“你会说外语这很棒，但是你还会做什么呢？” 没有人问我那些学过科技的朋友这些问题。由此可知，对于作者那些学理科的朋友，面试官从来没有问过他们这样的问题。由此可以推知，学理科在找工作时比较有优势，即“增加了工作的可能性”。故A选项正确。
34. 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong major”我认识到自己在大学里选择语言学习是错误的，由此可以推断出她很后悔自己的选择。故D选项正确。
35. 主旨大意题。作者在文中以自己的经历告诉读者：女性不应该只学习艺术或语言。女性也应该学习理科。最后一段作者以自己的女儿为例，进一步强调女性要学习理科，这样才会有更好的未来。因此对于女性来说选择要更明智，可知 C选项“女孩们，更明智地选择吧”是最佳标题。故选C。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-using images and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. 36
What a pity I didn’t meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. 37 So, in case you weren’t one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to know about ow learning really works.
38 It’s no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every month!
Don’t check your memory too soon. There’s not much point in testing yourself straightaway. 39 Instead, wait until it’s a bit more challenging to remember what you’ve watched, read or been told. Recapping (概括) it then will leave a much stronger trace in your brain.
Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively (合作地) ? If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. 40
Above all, don’t be held back by any memory myths you picked up at school. Take steps like these to start remembering more, and be a “class act” in all your learning from here!
A. Reading isn’t great for memory.
B. Learn in company when you can.
C. Learning isn’t an event: it’s a process.
D. That’s just short-term memory, and it quickly fades.
E. We hoped to know how to do it in a fun, fast and effective way.
F. In fact they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory.
G. He sparked an interest in the art and science of learning that still inspires me today.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些关于学习怎么才能真正起作用的重要事情。
36. 根据上文“I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-using images and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. (我清楚地记得老师第一次告诉我如何学习的情景。不是学什么。一个星期五的下午，我们的历史老师给我们展示了一种学习关键词和概念的方法——用图片和故事。在短短几分钟内，他证明了控制记忆过程是多么容易。)”可知，老师教授的如何学习的方法，使作者体会到了控制记忆过程是多么容易，G项“He sparked an interest in the art and science of learning that still inspires me today. (他激发了我对学习艺术和科学的兴趣，这种兴趣至今仍激励着我。)”，G项顺接上文，he指代上文的老师，因为老师的方法，作者能更好地记忆知识，从而激发了学习兴趣，上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。
37. 根据上文“What a pity I didn’t meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. (真可惜我15岁才认识他！更令人沮丧的是，许多学生从未被教导如何学习。)”可知，作者到15岁才认识这个老师，懂得如何学习，而现在有很多学生从未有人教他们如何学习；F项“In fact they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory. (事实上，他们通常会对记忆产生一些非常无益的想法。)”，F项中的They指代上文的那些从未有人教如何学习的学生们，F项顺接上文，故选F项。
38. 根据上文“So, in case you weren’t one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to know about how learning really works. (所以，如果你不是一个幸运的人，这里有一些关于学习如何真正运作的重要事情要知道。)”可知，第三段开始，要介绍一些关于学习怎么才能真正起作用的重要事情；下文“It’s no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every month! (只是在那上一节课是没有用的。你必须参与其中，使用学习技巧，并知道哪些最适合你。每个月，以这些提示和技巧开始！)”可知，学习不是只上一节课就结束了，学习是一个参与的过程，使用学习技巧。选择学习技巧的过程，C项“Learning isn’t an event: it’s a process. (学习不是一个事件，而是一个过程)”，C项为本段中心句，下文诠释了C项的意思，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。
39. 根据上文“Don’t check your memory too soon. There’s not much point in testing yourself straightaway.  (不要太快检查你的记忆。直接测试自己没有多大意义。)”可知，第一句为本段中心句，对于刚学过的知识，不要马上测试检验，D项“That’s just short-term memory, and it quickly fades. (这只是短期记忆，很快就会消失。)”，D项与上一句为解释关系，短时记忆很快消失，所以检测没有意义。故选D项。
40. 根据上文“Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively (合作地)? If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. (学习者不需要成为孤独者。你有很多合作学习的机会吗？如果不是，那就太遗憾了！它在记忆中起着重要作用。)”，第一句为中心句，阐述学习可以采取合作学习的方式，因为合作学习有助于记忆，B项“Learn in company when you can. (尽可能一起学习。)”，为本段的总结句，上下文语意一致，故选B项。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Simon transferred (转学) to the school which Jerry attended after his parents business closed down. Jerry had met Simon long before. After all, his mother once worked as the housekeeper in the large house that was Simon’s home. Since young Jerry had looked at all that Simon had with envy and anger. Jerry’s mother ensured that Jerry treated Simon’s family with politeness, unaware that each time she made him do so, her young son’s hatred increased.
Jerry was seen as the leader in class, being the captain of the school soccer team. The other students looked on him as their hero. When Simon transferred to the school, Jerry knew that it was payback time. He would show Simon that he was the superior one even without all the trappings of wealth. Thus,he always tried to ensure Simon was unwelcome in his class. He always said,“Sometimes, we have to treat people unkindly for their own good.”
One day, Jerry’s teammate ran to him with the message that his form teacher and soccer coach wanted to see him in the teachers’ office. Jerry ran to the teacher’s office. The expressions on the faces of his form teacher and coach worried him. He sat down quietly, hoping that the worst would not happen. He knew that he had not managed to get the minimum score required for a school athlete to remain in the school team. But he was confident that his superb performance in the soccer team would overcome all those poor results. The look on their faces showed that he was mistaken.
As he left the office, Jerry was upset. How was he to achieve the results required by the school before they would let him play in the game due to start in a month’s time? To catch up on all his schoolwork in a month was clearly impossible. His mother would never be able to afford a private teacher and he had no good friends who were capable of helping him.
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。
Just then, Jerry saw Simon and he brightened up.

After a long stop, Simon’s voice rang out loud and clear.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just then, Jerry saw Simon and he brightened up. Simon was the top boy in his class and would surely be able to help him. Jerry’s smile broadened even more as he thought of how thankful Simon would be to be given a chance to help a popular boy in class. Jerry walked quickly over to Simon and put forward his proposal to Simon that he should stay back in school after lessons every day to help Jerry achieve the required results. Jerry was confident that Simon would agree.
After a long stop, Simon’s voice rang out loud and clear. “Thank you for your kind offer Jerry. But I’m afraid I cannot help you. You may think that I’m unkind, but sometimes, we have to treat people unkindly for their own good.” With that, he turned around and walked away leaving a shocked Jerry in the corridor. Jerry realized he had hurt Simon deeply. Without hesitation, Jerry ran up to Simon and said sorry sincerely. Sensing Jerry’s sincerity, Simon forgave him.
