Anantawan was brn withut mst f his right frearm. The disability was a greatest impediment t music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students t learn t play the recrder (竖笛).
Instead f giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided t find him a different instrument t explre his musical talent. “My family chse the vilin because they thught it was the mst beautiful instrument,” Anantawan said. They cntacted the Trnt-area hspital near the family, asking them t create an adaptive cast (石膏) n his arm that wuld allw the then 10-year-ld t hld the bw.
A grup f engineers wrked alngside Anantawan t build a special device. With it, Anantawan culd use the bw and use his shulder t make the sund. “Frm the very first nte that I was playing, I was really attracted t the sund and the cnnectin f my bdy t the instrument and being able t express my imaginatin,” he said.
Althugh Anantawan is grateful fr the technlgy that allws him and thers with disabilities t find access t music, he said the mst imprtant part f access is that teachers, supprters and thse wh encurage yung learners r musicians by telling them they can d anything are able t accept diversity.
Anantawan is wrking t prvide that space fr thers. As an assciate prfessr at the Berklee Cllege f Music, Anantawan funded the Music Inclusin Ensemble, a grup f students with disabilities that prvide accmmdatins fr musicians accrding t their needs. Anantawan hpes t inspire peple withut being defined nly by the challenges they face as a result f their disability.

When yung children’s behavir becmes challenging, many parents turn t threats. Many parents threatened t leave an activity r place, r nt get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps yung children learn what behavirs are safe and prper and can play an imprtant rle in helping them learn the difference between right and wrng,” said Susan Wlfrd, M. D．“Empty threats, hwever, destry trust and aren’t usually effective.”
Mst parents surveyed reprted getting input abut discipline strategies frm several surces, turning t the child’s ther parent, talking with friends r using parenting bks, articles and scial media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth f parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare prvider and ne in eight parents say they haven’t thught abut their discipline strategies. Sme parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recmmended by experts, with tw in five smetimes spanking (打屁股).
“Discipline strategies shuld be prper fr the child’s age and develpmental level.” Wlfrd said. Fr children aged ne t tw, distractin (分散注意力) and redirectin are ften mst effective, nting that children this yung are explring their envirnment and willful misbehavir is quite few. But after age tw, children understand their actins can cause a reactin frm thers and may increasingly test that ut. Parents f children aged three t five surveyed were mre likely t use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeuts.
During these preschl ages, parents shuld let them knw what their misbehavir will lead t. Fr instance, if a child thrws a drink ut f anger, a prper punishment wuld be t have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactins shuld be immediate, s the child understands the cnnectin with their misbehavir.
As children grw, they respnd differently t varius discipline methds, s parents shuld adapt their strategies and stay pen t new appraches. “Balancing crrectin with psitive strengthening—like praise and rewards—helps children build self-respect while learning frm their mistakes.” Wlfrd said.
28．What will threatening bring t kids accrding t Susan Wlfrd?
A．Less belief in parents.B．Mre imprper behavirs.
C．Unwillingness t accept gifts.D．Inability t tell right frm wrng.
29．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Effective threats t children.B．Situatins f discipline strategies.
C．Varius methds f parenting.D．Reasns fr children’s misbehavir.
30．What shuld parents d with the misbehavir f children aged 3 t 5?
A．Reasn with them patiently and seriusly.B．Reflect n the causes f their mistakes.
C．Frgive them fr their childish actins.D．Punish them immediately and prperly.
31．What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A．Praise and rewards ensure self-respect.
B．Disciplining children is a flexible prcess.
C．Parenting becmes easier as children grw.
D．Crrecting mistakes is a new parenting apprach.
D
When yu ask peple t judge thers by their speech, a trend emerges: Listeners dislike disfluency (不流畅). Slw talkers prducing lads f ums (嗯) and pauses (停顿) are generally cnsidered as less charming. But science tells us there may be even mre t disfluency.
Disfluencies d nt ccur in arbitrary psitins in sentences. Ums typically ccur right befre mre difficult r lw-frequency wrds. Imagine yu’re having dinner with a friend at a restaurant, and there’re three items n the table: a knife, a glass, and a wine decanter (醒酒器). Yur friend turns t yu and says, “Culd yu hand me ” What wuld yu assume they want? Since it’s unlikely that they will hesitate befre such cmmn wrds as knife, and glass, chances are yu’ll pick up the decanter and ask, “Yu mean this?”
This is exactly what we prved thrugh cntrlled eye-tracking studies in ur lab. Apparently, listeners hear the um and predict that an uncmmn wrd is mst likely t fllw. Such predictins, thugh, reflect mre than just simple assciatin between disfluencies and difficult wrds; listeners are actively cnsidering frm the speaker’s pint f view. Fr example, when hearing a nn-native speaker say the same sentence but with a thick freign accent, listeners dn’t shw a preference fr lking at lw-frequency bjects. This is prbably because listeners assume nn-native speakers may have as much truble cming up with the English wrd fr a cmmn bject, like a knife, as fr unusual nes and can’t guess their intentin.
In anther experiment, listeners were presented with an uncmmn speaker wh prduced disfluencies befre simple wrds and never befre difficult wrds. Initially, participants displayed the natural predictive strategy: lking at uncmmn bjects. Hwever, as mre time went by, they gained experience with this uncmmn distributin (分布) f disfluencies. Listeners started t demnstrate the cntrary predictive behavir: They tended t lk at simple bjects when hearing the speaker say um.
These findings represent further evidence that the human brain is a predictin machine: We cntinuusly try t predict what will happen next, even thugh nt all disfluencies are created equal.
32. Which statement des the example in paragraph 2 supprt?
A. Pauses usually fllw uncmmn wrds.
B. Slw talkers tend t pause mre.
C. Fluent speakers are unlikely t pause.
D. Active listeners nly guess difficult wrds.
33. What des the authr say abut the nn-native speakers?
A. They can be understd easily.B. They actively put themselves in thers’ shes.
C. Their vcabularies are limited.D. Their disfluencies are a little less predictive.
34. What des the experiment in paragraph 4 shw?
A. Simple things are difficult in sme cases.
B. Listeners can adjust predictins accrdingly.
C. Distributin f disfluencies is changeable.
D. Disfluencies in cmmunicatin can be avided.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the article?
A. Active Listeners Simplify Talks
B. Human Brains Have the Pwer t Predict
C. Disfluency Cexists with Pauses and Hesitatin
D. Disfluency Says Mre than Yu Think

When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervus abut many things. But nthing cmpared t the prblem that I gt t the age where my vice started changing. At first, the vice getting deep excited me. But then I learned befre getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was s embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun f me. In fact, they didn’t even mentin it. But in my self-cnscius sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun f me behind my back. They weren’t having the same prblem.
After my first vice crack experience, I was determined t make sure it wuldn’t happen again. At least nt in public. S, except fr strategic times I said, “cl” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My lgic was, “If I dn’t use my vice, it cannt crack.” Hwever, I culdn’t g withut talking frever. I needed a new slutin.
I began clearing my thrat befre speaking, which actually seemed t help. Limiting hw much I spke and clearing my vice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger prblem. I was much mre scared abut having a vice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spken with. I didn’t want their first impressins f me t be based n a vice crack.
Unfrtunately, ne day my cncern came true. It was abut tw mnths after the beginning f the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I gt int the classrm. I nticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking abut hw he wuld take attendance. My permanent teacher never had t, since he already knew each student, I panicked. S many thughts rushed thrugh my mind that I culdn’t think straight. I calmed myself dwn by telling myself that I nly had t say ne wrd “Here”. “Easy enugh, right?” I thught s until my name was called. I did my rutine — cleared my thrat, tk a breath, and said, “Here.” The nly prblem was that while saying this, I had the wrst vice crack in the histry f vice cracks.
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。
The whle class turned t lk at me.

“Yu knw, the vice prblem yu met in class is nrmal,” a classmate came t me and said.

One pssible versin:
Tw-Day Weekend Plicy in Our Schl
Our schl has recently intrduced a tw-day weekend plicy, allwing students and teachers t rest n bth Saturdays and Sundays. This change aims t reduce stress and imprve verall well-being.
Mst students welcme the plicy, saying they nw have mre time fr hbbies and family. Teachers als appreciate the extra rest, which helps them prepare lessns mre effectively. Hwever, a few wrry abut keeping up with studies, as they feel weekends might becme t relaxed.
In my pinin, the duble-day weekend is beneficial. Nt nly des it balance wrk and rest but als leads t better prductivity and mental health. With prper time management, students can enjy their weekends while staying n tp f schlwrk.
第二节
Pssible versin 1:
The whle class turned t lk at me. My face burned with embarrassment as I felt each pair f eyes fixed n me. The substitute teacher’s puzzled expressin nly added t the awkward mment. I wished the grund wuld pen up and swallw me whle, but all I culd d was shift uncmfrtably in my seat. The whispers that fllwed were like knives t my self-esteem. When the bell finally rang fr the break, I rushed ut f the classrm, feeling utterly humiliated. It seemed like the whle schl nw knew abut my vice crack.
“Yu knw, the vice prblem yu met in class is nrmal,” a classmate came t me and said. His reassuring wrds caught me ff guard. As he shared his wn similar experiences, I realized I wasn’t alne in this struggle. Knwing that thers were ging thrugh the same thing made me feel seen and understd. His empathy sparked a sense f team spirit and supprt that I hadn't anticipated. Gradually, I let g f the fear f judgment and started t embrace my vice cracks as a natural part f grwing up. This newfund sense f cnfidence and self-acceptance transfrmed my interactins at schl, making me feel mre at ease and cnnected with my peers.
Pssible versin 2:
The whle class turned t lk at me. I felt my face turning red and wished the grund wuld pen up and swallw me whle. The embarrassment was unbearable, and I culdn’t even bring myself t meet anyne’s gaze. After what felt like an eternity, the substitute teacher finally spke up, breaking the awkward silence. He chuckled and said, “Well, that’s quite a lvely yung vice!” The class laughed friendly alng with him, and I managed a weak smile, wndering whether they were just trying t make me feel better. Finally, the bell rang and I walked ut t have sme fresh air.
“Yu knw, the vice prblem yu met in class is nrmal,” a classmate came t me and said. “Everyne ges thrugh it. It happens t mst f us during this stage f life.” He explained hw he had als experienced vice cracks and hw he had learned t embrace them as a natural part f grwing up. I lked at him in surprise, grateful fr his reassurance. My initial embarrassment and cncern gave way t gratitude and cnfidence. My classmates were understanding and supprtive, just as my friends had been frm the beginning. With their encuragement, I gradually became mre cnfident in using my vice, accepting the changes that came with puberty withut fear r shame.

M：Sunds interesting, but it's nt my thing at all. I'm mre int phtgraphy rather than paintings, s my hme is filled with lads f phts. Especially landscape phtgraphy.

Gd afternn. My name is William, and I am the new drama teacher in ur schl. I'm very happy that yu gave me the pprtunity t cme and wrk fr the students. And I believe that yu wn't be disappinted. I wuld like t intrduce the drama prgrams that I'm planning t wrk n fr this schl year. Frm this mnth, September, I'll start preparing sixth graders fr tw plays, The Sleeping Beauty and The Little Prince. I'll prvide all the cstumes fr the plays, and I'll als make sure we have all the necessary bjects and furniture. But students shuld prepare scripts and make up themselves. Fr the seventh graders, I'm thinking abut smething mre challenging like The Three Little Pigs r The Ice Queen. These plays require mre practices and strnger acting skills. But we have enugh time t practice. Fr the eighth graders, I've decided t try sme bks, nt just simple stries. Cnsidering that students like mystery, I've chsen the bk, The Hund f the Baskervilles by the famus English writer Arthur Cnan Dyle. All these plays will be ready fr the stage by the end f March next year.
