Salome Thomas-El, the headmaster of Thomas Edison Charter School, has spent more than 30 years teaching his students life lessons through the game of chess. 90% of the students at the school live at or below the poverty level. "These children are playing chess and graduating high school and going to some of the top colleges in the nation," Thomas-El said.
As Thomas-El was looking for innovative ways to teach children math early in his career, he turned to a game from his childhood: chess. "I started actually teaching students math on the chessboard where knights move on right angles, bishops move on diagonals (对角线)…I fell in love with the game as a teacher. Through chess, Thomas-El saw that his students were learning more than just math — they developed confidence and self-respect. Thomas-El decided to get more students involved in chess. He provided chess sets and students began playing during breakfast and lunch. He also opened up the school on Saturdays to give students the chance to play chess, learn and get weekend meals.
Soon, Thomas-El was able to form his own chess team of 40 students. Because some tournaments are all-female, he decided to also create an all-girls team. Over his career. Thomas-EI's all-girls teams have taken on men twice their age and come out victorious. One of his teams even went three years undefeated.
Thomas-El said his proudest moments as an educator do not come from watching his students win games, but from watching them succeed in life. Many of the girls he's coached in chess have gone on to attend schools like Cornell and the University of Virginia on scholarships. Some of them became teachers themselves and come back to help their community.
In the future, Thoma-El hopes to expand chess's impact on students as a board member of America's Foundation for Chess, which has launched a new chess program for kids in school called"First Move."
4. Why did Thomas-El introduce chess into his class at first?
A. To make math easier to learn.
B. To make students'life more colorful.
C. To help students acquire a new skill.
D. To help poor students win a scholarship.
5. What do we know about Thomas-EI's all-girls teams?
A. They consisted of 40 students.
B. They have performed well in tournaments.
C. They were an inspiration to men twice their age.
D. They have followed in Thomas-El's featsteps to become teachers.
6. What touches Thomas-El most?
A. His students learn to work hard.
B. His students have won chess games.
C. Chess brings communities together.
D. Chess has changed his students lives.
7. What will Thomas-El do in the future?
A. Launch a TV chess program.
B. Establish the Foundation for Chess.
C. Train more teachers to promote chess.
D. Make chess accessible to more students.

One of the first things that Harvard University professor Daniel E.Lieberman points out in his new book Exercised is the double meaning of the word. Not only does it mean voluntary physical activity,but as an adjective,exercised suggests being worried, anxious or tired.And there lies the problem with exercise. Most of us just don't like doing it.
Lieberman pursues a double course in"Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do ls Healthy and Rewarding'". The professor presents an in-depth look at how humans evolved from hunter-gatherers who didn't have to think twice about getting enough exercise, to those of us who have to push ourselves away from our couches and devices. The parts of the book devoted to biology and evolution can be a bit hard to understand, although Lieberman often introduces them nicely with anecdotes.
Throughout his book, Lieberman discusses the origins of exercise, a modern pursuit.In the 1700s, Samuel Johnson didn't consider the words"play"and"exercise"worthy to be included in his dictionary. Although children have always played and sports have been a "human universal,exercise outside the context of sports was extremely rare until relatively recently, Lieberman writes. He also considers various contemporary forms of exercise and their benefits: running (which he does), walking, dancing, weight training, games and even cage fighting. He drops in on a Swedish company in Stockholm whose CEO requires a weekly "sports hour"to be participated in by all employees.
However, Lieberman's primary viewpoint- that exercise is indeed good for you-comes with an important warning.It must be enjoyable.The paradox(矛盾的情况),he writes,"is that our bodies never evolved to function optimally(最佳地)without lifelong physical activity but our minds never evolved to get us moving unless it is necessary, pleasurable or rewarding.
Exercise,he writes should be social."None of us is an island when it comes to health. Our well-being is interconnected. Some is better than none.Keep it up as you age."
8. What can be learned about the book"Exercised"?
A. It distinguishes between*play"and" exercise"
B. It is aimed specifically at couch potatoes.
C. It is a brief account of human evolution.
D. It explains difficult concepts with stories.
9. What can we infer about Samuel Johnson?
A. He was picky about sports. B. He thought little of exercise.
C. He invented the word "exercise." D. He advocated a weekly sports hour.
10. What does Lieberman stress by mentioning the paradox?
A. The importance of making exercise fun.
B. The difficulty of making exercise social.
C. The necessity of exercise for the elderly.
D. The physical and mental benefits of exercise.
11. What is this text?
A. An autobiography. B. A health report.
C. A research paper. D. A book review.
【答案】8 D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Lieberman的新书Exercised,介绍了书中的不同内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The parts of the book devoted to biology and evolution can be a bit hard to understand, although Lieberman often introduces them nicely with anecdotes.”(尽管Lieberman经常用轶事很好的介绍它们,但书中介绍生物学和进化的部分可能还是有点难懂。)可知,Lieberman经常在书中用轶事介绍难懂的部分。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 1700s, Samuel Johnson didn't consider the words "play" and "exercise" worthy to be included in his dictionary.”(在十七世纪,Samuel Johnson认为玩耍和锻炼不值得出现在他的字典里。)可知Samuel Johnson几乎没有想过玩耍和锻炼。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The paradox,he writes,"is that our bodies never evolved to function optimally without lifelong physical activity but our minds never evolved to get us moving unless it is necessary, pleasurable or rewarding.”(他写到,矛盾的情况是我们的身体从未进化到不用终身活动的最佳功能,但是我们的思想从未进化到让我们去运动,除非这是必要的、愉快的或是友谊的。)可知,如果想要让自己去运动,我们需要让运动变得有趣,也就是强调了让运动变得有趣的重要性。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段介绍了Lieberman的这本书以及锻炼的意思,第二段到第五段介绍了书中的不同内容、不同部分,我们可以看出这是一篇对于Lieberman的《锻炼》这本书的书评。故选D项。
【点睛】阅读理解题的解题方法,首先,宏观浏览全文,了解文章大意;然后读懂题干,带着问题去寻读;最后,分析句子,得出正确答案。
D
I've worked as a social media influencer for four years and have experienced the many positive aspects of this industry. My travels inspired an American woman to take her first solo(独自的)trip to the Middle East, which is a valuable experience. But I’ve also seen the more negative aspects, such as the emotional stress that comes from creating content with the goal of getting as many people as possible to double-tap or like our photos.
So when Instagram announced that it is beginning to test removing likes from the platform, my immediate reaction was a positive one.
Similar to the experience of the average Instagram user, viewing likes creates an incredible point of comparison among influencers. It shifts the focus away from providing value to constantly comparing yourself to other creators.The removal of likes pushes influencers to create valuable content and start meaningful conversations with their followers rather than post content only for the purpose of generating likes. It is a shift in a positive direction and an answer to the call for social platforms to take responsibility for the impact their apps have on users' mental health.
If Instagram does away with likes altogether,the way brands will partner with influencers will also likely change. The influencer marketing industry is still fairly new and most brands make quick judgments using only the ratio(比率)of the number of followers to the number of likes without looking at much else. If like counts are no longer visible, brands will need to take a deeper dive into a creators content and into the quality of the conversations they are having with their audience. This is the true test of an influencer's impact and ultimately, of the return on investment a brand can expect. This change will force brands to get smarter.
Instagram's test to explore removing likes reflects a larger cultural call for connection, community and authenticity online. I believe it would be a welcome change that all users could appreciate.
12. What is the example of an American woman used to prove?
A. The advantage of traveling.
B. The emotional stress of getting likes.
C The favorable impact of an influencer.
D. The widespread use of modern technology.
13. What can removing likes lead influencers to do?
A. Switch to other social platforms.
B. Focus on the quality of their content.
C. Compare themselves with average users.
D. Stop communicating with their followers.
14. What does the author think of brands choosing partners based on the number of likes?
A. It's risky. B. It's confusing.
C. It's smart. D. It's inconvenient.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Does removing Instagram likes affect our health?
B. How can influencers get more Instagram likes?
C. Should Instagram get rid of likes for good?
D. Why do Instagram infuencers need likes?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了Instagram取消“赞”后所带来的影响,并且作者表达了希望Instagram永远摆脱“赞”的愿望。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I've worked as a social media influencer for four years and have experienced the many positive aspects of this industry. My travels inspired an American woman to take her first solo(独自的)trip to the Middle East, which is a valuable experience.(作为一名有影响力的社交媒体人,我已经工作了四年,并经历了这个行业的许多积极方面。我的旅行启发了一位美国女士,让她第一次独自去中东旅行,这是一次宝贵的经历。)”可知,作者举一个美国妇女的例子用来证明有影响力的人的良好影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The removal of likes pushes influencers to create valuable content and start meaningful conversations with their followers rather than post content only for the purpose of generating likes. (删除“赞”会促使有影响力的人创造有价值的内容,并开始与粉丝进行有意义的对话,而不是仅仅为了获得“赞”而发布内容。)”可知,删除“赞”会促使有影响力的人更关注内容的质量。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The influencer marketing industry is still fairly new and most brands make quick judgments using only the ratio of the number of followers to the number of likes without looking at much else. If like counts are no longer visible, brands will need to take a deeper dive into a creators content and into the quality of the conversations they are having with their audience. This is the true test of an influencer's impact and ultimately, of the return on investment a brand can expect. This change will force brands to get smarter. (影响力营销行业仍处于起步阶段,大多数品牌仅根据粉丝数量与赞的比例就能快速做出判断,而无需考虑其他因素。如果用户数量不再可见,品牌就需要深入挖掘创作者的内容以及他们与用户之间的对话质量。这是对影响者影响力的真正考验,也是对品牌预期投资回报的真正考验。这种变化将迫使品牌变得更聪明。)”可推断,作者认为品牌根据点赞数量选择合作伙伴是有风险的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知,文章主要讨论了Instagram取消“赞”后所带来的影响,并且作者表达了希望Instagram永远摆脱“赞”的愿望。所以“Should Instagram get rid of likes for good?( Instagram应该永远摆脱“赞”吗?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

When it comes to learn English as a second language, there are various ways to improve one's English. As far as I'm concerned, I preferred to learn English through songs. I'm the music lover and believe that combining my interest with learning will be the best way to improve my English. I look forward to learning many interesting songs in classes. I particularly like songs that are pleased and easily remember. These tunes make easier to remember new words and expressions, especially when you can't stop hearing of them. Therefore, song lyrics often use phrases that aren't necessarily standard. These may need an explanation from our teacher. All in all, learning English with songs are sure to be fun and effective.
【答案】1.learn → learning
2.preferred → prefer
3. the → a
4. classes → class
5. pleased →pleasing
6. remember → remembered
7. make后加it
8. 去掉of
9.Therefore → However
10.are → is
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者用英语歌曲学习英语的方法。
【详解】第一处:考查非谓语动词。句意:说到把英语作为第二语言来学习,有很多方法可以提高英语水平。when it comes to当涉及到; 当谈到,to是介词,后接动名词形式。故将learn改为learning。
第二处:考查时态。句意:就我而言,我更喜欢通过歌曲来学习英语。根据文章时态可知,用一般现在时。故将preferred改为prefer。
第三处:考查冠词。句意:我是一个音乐爱好者,我相信把我的兴趣和学习结合起来是提高我英语水平的最好方法。名词music lover为泛指,所以用不定冠词a。故将the改为 a。
第四处:考查名词的数。句意:我期待在课堂上学习许多有趣的歌曲。in class上课,在课堂上。故将classes改为class。
第五处:考查形容词。句意:我特别喜欢令人愉快且容易记住的歌曲。修饰物,一般用-ing形式形容词。pleasing表示“令人愉快的”故将pleased改为pleasing。
第六处:考查语态。句意:我特别喜欢令人愉快且容易记住的歌曲。songs与remember之间为被动关系,用被动语态,所以动词的过去分词形式。故将remember 改为remembered。
第七处:考查代词。句意:这些曲调让你更容易记住新单词和短语,尤其是当你不停地听它们的时候。句中用it作形式宾语,真正的宾语为不定式to remember new words and expressions。故在make后加it。
第八处:考查动词用法。句意:这些曲调让你更容易记住新单词和短语,尤其是当你不停地听它们的时候。hear强调听的结果;hear of强调听说过。故去掉of。
第九处:考查副词。句意:然而,歌词中经常使用的短语并不一定是标准的。前后句之间为转折关系,所以用副词however。故将Therefore改为However。
第十处:考查主谓一致。句意:总而言之,用歌曲学习英语肯定是有趣和有效的。动名词作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。故将are改为is。
