【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要讲的是去Museum of Classical Archaeology进行学校旅行的相关信息。
【21题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Our Cambridge museum is a great place to bring primary school groups, especially those studying the Ancient Greeks or Romans. We can also support both the Classics and the Art curriculum (课程) at secondary level: students studying the ancient world will benefit from student tours, while those studying art can improve their drawing skills.(我们的剑桥博物馆是带小学小组的好地方，尤其是那些学习古希腊或罗马的学生。我们还可以支持中学阶段的古典文学和艺术课程：学习古代世界的学生将从学生旅游中受益，而学习艺术的学生可以提高他们的绘画技能)”可知，博物馆明确提到其教育服务是为不同年龄段的学生量身定制的，帮助他们学习古代希腊或罗马文化、古典学和艺术等内容。由此推知，博物馆的主要目的是支持学校的课程学习，而不是单纯地促进学校旅行本身。故选D。
【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Planning Your Visit部分的第二段中的“To book an in-person or virtual visit, please use our online booking request form. (如需亲自或虚拟参观，请使用我们的在线预订申请表)”和“Please note: we ask that all school trips are booked at least seven days in advance. (请注意：我们要求所有学校旅行至少提前七天预订)”可知，学校参观博物馆前必须提前一周填写预订申请表。故选C。
【23题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Download the Teacher’s Pack for helpful guidelines to maximize your visit. (请下载教师资料包，以获取有助于最大化您参观体验的有用指南)”可推知，这篇文章的目标读者是学校的老师。故选B。
B 24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了老妇人团队在水塘中清理垃圾，提升了环保意识与自豪感。
【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.(自2017年以来，该组织只接受老年女性作为成员，其使命是清除科德角池塘中的垃圾)”可知，这个团队被建立，是为了清理池塘中的垃圾。故选B。
【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean.(该组织的存在归功于退休心理学家苏珊·鲍尔。作为一名终身的自然爱好者，她开始在海角的池塘里游泳，作为海洋的一种更安全的替代品)”可知，苏珊·鲍尔是一位热爱大自然的女性。故选C。
【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.(虽然许多局外人对OLAUG清理池塘表示感谢，但一些人质疑她们为什么称自己为“老妇人”。其他人则表示，她应该向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体)”可知，一些人建议向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体，即组建一个更具包容性的团队。故选A。
【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”(尽管她承认这最初不是一个深思熟虑的选择，但她现在认为“老妇人”的身份是这个团体的重要组成部分。鲍尔说：“65岁以上，如果你足够健康，可以做我们正在做的事情，那就是感恩的年龄”，“你很感激你还能做到这一点。”)”可知，鲍尔认为“老妇人”的身份增强了她们的自豪感和团队自我定位。故选D。
C 28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成长型思维模式及其在教学中的应用。
【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“But they’d be better off thinking of the brain as a muscle that gets stronger with use. Researchers now understand that IQ isn’t fixed at birth. Just as we get more physically fit from exercising, we can build brainpower through the act of learning.(但他们最好把大脑想象成一块随着使用而变得更强壮的肌肉。研究人员现在明白，智商并不是与生俱来的。就像我们通过锻炼变得更健康一样，我们可以通过学习来建立智力)”可知，作者把大脑比作肌肉是为了表明智力可以通过锻炼得到加强。故选C。
【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“In Mindset, Dweck explains why students who have a growth mindset are more willing to tackle challenges, learn from failure, and see criticism as useful feedback (反馈) rather than an excuse to give up.(在《心态》一书中，德韦克解释了为什么拥有成长型心态的学生更愿意应对挑战，从失败中学习，并将批评视为有用的反馈，而不是放弃的借口)”可知，有成长型思维的孩子会把遇到的困难看作成长的机会，而不轻言放弃。故选B。
【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段(有效的教学策略帮助学生进入高阶思维，或者神经学家所说的执行功能。医学博士朱Judy Willis教授解释说：“当教育者为学生提供将所学付诸实践的机会时，特别是通过让他们参与真正的、与个人相关的活动，并在整个单元中进行形成性评估和纠正性反馈，学生所学的知识不再是死记硬背。相反，这些事实被牢固地整合到一个相互关联的记忆框架中，而不是因为缺乏使用而被遗弃。”)可知，强调了让学生参与真实且与个人相关的活动，并给予反对提升执行功能的重要性，即创造性的参与会提高学生的执行功能。故选D。
31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Children who adopt what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a growth mindset (思维模式) understand that intelligence isn’t fixed but can be developed through effort.(采用心理学家Carol Dweck所说的成长型思维模式的孩子明白，智力不是固定不变的，而是可以通过努力来发展的)”结合文章围绕大脑能力提升展开，包括成长型思维培养、有效教学策略等，A选项“脑力建设：鼓励成长心态”全面概括了文章核心内容，最符合文章标题。故选A。
D 32.C 33. B 34. D 35.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了过度自信可能带来的负面影响，并介绍了“智力谦逊”这一概念及其在学习和决策中的积极作用。文章通过研究实例和实验结果，分析了智力谦逊对个人学习和行为的影响，并提出了实践智力谦逊的建议。主要考查考生对语篇细节信息的理解能力和基于信息进行推断的能力。核心价值在于引导考生反思自信与谦逊的平衡，培养批判性思维和科学探究精神。
32. C。推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知，作者提到挑战者号爆炸事件是为了说明过度自信可能导致的灾难性后果。NASA曾认为航天飞行失败的风险极低（约十万分之一），这种过度自信可能是导致挑战者号爆炸的原因之一。因此，作者提到这一事件的目的是给出一个过度自信的例子，因此答案为 C。
33. B。细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知，Porter博士的研究发现，具有智力谦逊的学生更倾向于测试自己是否真正理解了学习内容，并寻找自己理解中的漏洞。当考试成绩公布后，他们会调整学习策略以提高表现，并在下一次考试中更好地掌握知识。由此可推断智力谦逊帮助学生调整学习方法，因此答案为 B。
34. D。词义猜测题。根据文章第五段内容可知，那些认为自己“got a subject down pat”的学生在考试中被要求解释时，发现自己并没有真正理解所学内容。因此，由此可推断“got a subject down pat”的意思是完全掌握了一个科目，因此答案为 D。
35. A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，研究人员承认质疑自己的信念可能非常困难，但同时也建议可以通过“小步骤”来实践。由此可推断接下来可能会讨论如何实践智力谦逊，因此答案为 A。
36--40 D F C A E
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了处理悲伤情绪的四个方法。
36. D。考查过渡句。根据空前内容可知，悲伤情绪与其他不好的事物联系在一起。空后指出我们可以移除悲伤、增加幸福感。由此可见，该空要能够承上启下，指出我们不必沦为悲伤情绪的受害者。故选D项。
37. F。考查细节句。根据空后的So grab some high-quality books or take an online program to boost happiness and learn the skills you need to decrease your sad feelings可知，作者推荐大家读高质量的书。本段小标题也是“读与克服悲伤相关的书”。而在推荐某人做某事前，先要说清楚这样做的意义和好处。故选F项（通过阅读自助书籍，你可以开始学习并将它们应用到你的生活中）。
38. C。考查细节句。根据本段的小标题和空前的Making a “happiness plan” can be helpful可知，做计划是很重要的。该空的内容也应体现“计划”这一特点，C项中的each day体现了计划性。故选C项（例如，你可以每天使用一个新的打破悲伤的策略）。
39. A。考查主题句。根据空后So you need to learn how to use phones in ways that increase happiness instead of sadness可知，此处建议我们学会使用手机以增加快乐而非增加悲伤，言外之意就是人要学会自我调节，人应该比手机更智能，哪怕使用手机可能会增加我们的悲伤情绪。我们也要知道如何调节这一状况。故选A项（智力胜过你的智能手机）。
40. E。考查细节句。空前提到But it just makes us feel worse in the long run可知，it 指代前面反复思考最坏的结果，即反复思考最坏的结果从长久来看会让我们感到更糟糕，空格进一步解释空前句内容，空后My advice is to try to imagine a brighter future建议想象更光明的未来，与空格正反对比。故空格选E项（我们的悲伤会发展成其他各种各样的负面情绪）。
◎读后知识积累：⑴well-being幸福；⑵boost /bu st/ v. 使增长，推动；⑶outcome / a tk m/ n. 结果，效果；⑷outsmart / a t smɑ t/ vt. 比……更聪明。
41-45 D C B B A 46-50 B D A C A 51-55 C D A C D
【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文，作者回顾了自己童年时在稻田里劳作的经历，细致地描写了在炎热的日子里田间农活的辛苦，指出童年的田间劳动经历对自己成长具有重要的作用。
41.D. 田间劳作是一种锻炼，磨炼了“斯巴达”精神。
42.C. 小时候起，就要分担家里的劳作了。Labour是本文关键词之一。
43.B. 这句着重描写“热”。无风的热，才是“hottest”、最难耐的热。
44.B. 虫子“咬”我的皮肤。bite的过去式，bit.
45.A. 弯着腰在田间劳作，因此上半身形成一个拱形（下一句有进一步描写）。作者当时还是个孩子，故不合适用broad， strong等词来形容。
46.B. 汗珠流入眼中会“引起”（produce）流泪。因此下一句说“把脸尽量放低一些”。
47.D. 根据上下文，劳作辛苦，最考验人的不是速度或其他，而是忍耐力。Be patient!
48.A. 劳作是一件很吃力的事情，不求快，但求稳。根据情境，选Slowly.
49.C. “播下什么，收获什么。”
50.A. 根据上下文，田间劳作的场景，与books, neighbours, clothes等无关。
51.C. 土地是最“靠得住”的，一切取决于你的劳作。
52.D. 想象一下绿色的或者金色的稻田，风吹过，稻浪起。
53.A. 经过了辛苦的劳作，如今看见稻田的如此景色，心中自然会“涌起”相应的情绪。
54.C. 本段总结全文，点出童年劳作给后来从事学术的自己带来的启示：踏实做事，坚持不放弃，一定有回报。plant一词在此处用作动词。
55.D. reward vt.回报 “永不放弃，你会得到回报的”
56.ecological. 考查构词法，ecological“生态的”
57.since. 介词的考查,根据下文句子用了现在完成时,所以此处应该是“自从项目开始以来”
58.meaning. 非谓语动词“意味着…”
59.undoubtedly. 根据句意,此处应该用副词
60.To ensure.不定式做目的状语“为了确保…”。
61.a考查冠词, a series of…“一系列…
62 and. 考查并列连词,连接并列的宾语从句。
63.has covered. 考查时态。It is the first time that… 要求从句用现在完成时。
64.where. 考查定语从句, 先行词area在从句中作状语, 所以用where。
65.individuals. 考查名词复数。
第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(满分15分)
Possible version 1
Dear Mike,
I sincerely appreciate your trust in me and the invitation to host the Drama Night organized by the English Club next Friday. I should have embraced this remarkable opportunity and made preparations with utmost dedication. To my regret, however, I’m writing to extend my apologies for failing to serve as the host as scheduled.
I have been selected as a representative of our school to participate in an English speech contest on the same day, making it impossible for me to adjust my schedule accordingly. My apologies again for any inconvenience I brought to you and the club.
I hope you can understand my dilemma and find a suitable replacement promptly. Wishing you all the best for a triumphant event! (120 words)
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Possible version 2
Dear Mike
I am deeply honored to have been invited to host the"Drama Night" event at the English Club next Friday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to host the activity due to unexpected personal
circumstances. I am writing to apologize for the inconvenience I'm bringing.
The reason for my absence is that I have been selected to represent my school in an important academic competition on the same day. This is an opportunity that comes rarely, and it would be a significant benefit to my educational journey. Much as I wish to be there, I have to put my academic responsibilities at the first place.
Hope you can understand the necessity for my absence.Wish the event a great success.(117words)
Sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
With a touch of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. He placed a hand on my shoulder and asked me again what had happened. I took out my test paper and told him that I would never match up to him in a choked voice. Jack’s smile grew warmer, and he gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “You don’t have to measure up to anyone and your worth isn’t defined by grades or achievements. You’ re more than just a number on a test. Remember that be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
His words were like a warm gentle windb, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. I was still engaged in endless tasks and deadlines, but I no longer felt constrained (束缚) by my brother’s shadow. Realizing that comparison is the thief of joy, I pursued excellence instead of perfection, which is often unattainable and can lead to burnout. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders as I realized that my value wasn’t tied to a single test score. I felt more confident and less overwhelmed as I know that believing in doing my best will always be the ultimate best score.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了“我”因追求和哥哥一样完美的成绩而感到巨大压力，在一次生物考试中失利后，对哥哥产生了嫉妒和失望的情绪。
【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句“Jack眼中带着一丝受伤和惊讶，轻轻地走向我。”可知，第一段可描写Jack安慰“我”，询问“我”发生了什么，“我”拿出试卷告诉他自己永远也比不上他，Jack安慰“我”，告诉“我”不要和别人比较。
②由第二段首句“他的话就像一股暖风，吹散了我的沮丧，改变了我的心态。”可知，第二段可描写“我”的心态发生了变化，不再受哥哥的影响，意识到比较是快乐的窃贼，开始追求卓越而不是完美。
2.续写线索：Jack安慰“我”——“我”拿出试卷诉说沮丧——Jack告诉“我”不要和别人比较——“我”的心态发生变化——“我”开始追求卓越而不是完美
“人与自我” 主题通常涉及个人的成长、情感、认知、价值观等方面，关注个体如何认识自己、处理自己的情绪、应对挑战以及追求自我完善等。在这篇文章中，作者主要围绕自己因哥哥的优秀而产生的心理压力、自我认知冲突以及为追求完美而努力学习却遭遇挫折等内容展开，重点描述了自己内心的感受、情绪变化以及对自我价值的思考，如作者提到自己为了证明自己，努力学衡哥哥在高中的优秀记录，在面对考试失利时的沮丧、嫉妒等情绪，这些都体现了 “人与自我” 主题中个体对自我情感、成长困境等方面的探索与挣扎。

M: Jennifer, are you going to the library
W: No, I’m going to the cinema near our school. A famous French movie will be on there this afternoon. Do you want to go with me
M: Sure. I think it can help my French learning.
Text 2
M: Jenny, every time we meet, you look a bit tired.
W: Well, honestly, I’m always on the go because of work, school pickups and other activities. I have no time to relax myself.
Text 3
M: I’d like to buy a round-trip train ticket to Chicago. I’m leaving on March 20 and coming back on March 25th.
W: That will be 45 dollars for the one-way ticket.
Text 4
M: I loved watching that romantic film with you. I was deeply touched by the happy ending.
W: It was a good love story, but I guess we’d better try some comedies or action movies next time in case we run out of tissues again.
M: That’s true.
Text 5
W: Henry, could you explain talk shows to me
M: Yes, they are TV shows where a host or hosts interview guests about a particular topic or just have conversations about current events or pop culture.
W: Now I see. Thank you.
Text 6
M: Hello, I’m Paul from Speedy Computers. Did you call for a repair
W: Oh yes, I’m glad you came. I was having a video chat with my son in China when the computer screen suddenly went black.
M: Did you check the power supply
W: Yes, everything seems to be normal. I need it to be repaired because I have some urgent work to deal with.
M: Okay, I’ll try my best.
W: Can I make you a cup of tea or coffee
M: No thanks. I had a drink a few minutes ago. I’ll just go out to my car and get my tools.

W: Peter, can you help set the table
M: Just a moment, Grace. I’m trying an app that uses AI and helps users make art.
W: That’s amazing. Can you show me how to use it
M: Sure, you just need to give it some words. For example, let’s tell it a koala on a balloon. See, it gives us four different pictures all showing a koala on a balloon. Isn’t that cool
W: Oh wow. I can’t believe it. I want the app on my phone. How can I download it
M: I’ll send you the link later. Now we should go downstairs. Mother called us to dinner.
Text 8
M: Welcome Mrs brown, we all know you’ve had a very successful company. Can you share with our listeners the secret of success
W: It’s my pleasure. Good communication is vital in all areas of life, especially when it comes to running a business. After all, it’s no use creating the greatest product or service in the world. If your team is unable to convincingly share it with potential customers
M: That makes perfect sense. But very few people are born as great public speakers or natural communicators.
W: You are right. So it comes down to acquiring these skills by learning from your mistakes, participating in useful training.
M: What can people focus on training
W: For example, when speaking, you must ensure that the pace, volume and clarity of speech is helpful for your listeners. It also involves your word choice, body language and self confidence. Pre business can help with language training. You can explore our corporate language training program on our website.

W: Okay, I’ll drive there. Where should I park
M: Parking is not available for museum ticket holders. You can find a parking lot nearby.
W: If I’m taking my students with me, is there any discount on fare
M: Yes. National Geographic is perfect for student and adult groups of all ages. We welcome you to learn, engage and discover. You need to fill out the group reservation request form. We’ll call you back after we calculate the discounted fare, but in that case, you need to postpone the plan again. All group reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.
W: I see. I’ll go and see by myself this time. Thank you very much.

In Chengdu, a Canadian has become fascinated by the art of penjing, or Chinese bonsai. His name is Chad Sinclair. He’s 46 years old. He came to China 21 years ago to learn Chinese penjing. He fell in love with Chengdu and decided to stay here. Since then, he has been seeking inspiration from mountains, rocks, plants and trees to design his own penjing creations. From a young age, under the influence of his grandmother, Sinclair developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, especially the art of bonsai. In 1997 at the age of nineteen, Sinclair began to learn from Takayama, a world-class Japanese bonsai master. But he had always wanted to visit China, where the art originated. In Chengdu’s parks, Sinclair learned of Sichuan style penjing. As one of the five schools of Chinese penjing, Sichuan style penjing is a national intangible cultural heritage with elegant shapes. He hopes to combine his own style with the Sichuan style concept and introduce the Sichuan style penjing to the world. He took a lot of pictures and his friends who are outside of China reposted them. Today, Sinclair has become a somewhat famous penjing artist in Sichuan. He has also been selected as the Expo promotion ambassador for the International Horticultural Expo 2024 Chengdu.济宁市2022级高三下学期4月月考

The pond is silent — until the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducks into the water. She emerges, fist first, clutching a pair of bright blue children’s swimming goggles(护目镜). She shakes them overhead, as if she has won a prize.
Over the next hour, on a cloudy Saturday morning in July, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women — hunts for trash across Mares Pond, a 28-acre kettle hole on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.
The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean. However, between mud, darkness and snapping turtles, the world of the pond was at first one of anxiety for her.
In 2017, on a whim, she rounded up two friends and a stranger with a kayak and together, they cleared a large amount of litter from a pond. Soon others joined them, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups.
While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.
Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”
24. Why was the group OLAUG founded
A. To promote an active way of life. B. To clean up garbage in the ponds.
C. To rescue children from the ponds. D. To advocate swimming to keep fit.
25. What do we know about Susan Baur from the text
A. She longs for a quiet retired life. B. She cares about old ladies'life.
C. She is a nature enthusiast. D. She is keen on physical training.
26. What is some people’s suggestion to the group
A. To be more inclusive. B. To expand its business.
C. To rename the group. D. To be more independent.
27. Why does Baur particularly care about their “old lady” identity
A. It helps to promote their image. B. It helps them win more respect.

C
Ask students to describe their brain, and they’re likely to suggest a computer, a command center, or maybe a lightning-fast communications network. But they’d be better off thinking of the brain as a muscle that gets stronger with use. Researchers now understand that IQ isn’t fixed at birth. Just as we get more physically fit from exercising, we can build brainpower through the act of learning.
Children who adopt what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a growth mindset understand that intelligence isn’t fixed but can be developed through effort. In Mindset, Dweck explains why students who have a growth mindset are more willing to tackle challenges, learn from failure, and see criticism as useful feedback (反馈) rather than an excuse to give up. This is the kind of thinking that keeps students motivated, even when learning is hard work.
The good news is that even the mindset isn’t fixed. A growth mindset can be learned and enhanced by messages that praise persistence and set high expectations. For example, help students understand that challenging assignments will stretch their “thinking muscles.” At the same time, provide them with necessary support so they don’t get discouraged.
It is widely believed that all brains are not equal and that context and ability influence learning. The brain connects new information to the old and can be changed by experience.
Effective teaching strategies help students move toward higher-order thinking, or what neurologists call executive (执行) function. As professor Judy Willis, MD explains, “When educators offer students chances to put their learning into practice, particularly by engaging them in genuine, personally relevant activities accompanied by formative assessments and corrective feedback throughout a unit, the facts students learn are no longer rote (死记硬背) memory. Instead, these facts become solidly integrated into an interconnected memory framework, rather than being deserted due to lack of use.”
Of course, all this brain activity is happening in a unique way for each student. By addressing learners’ individual needs, educators can help students strengthen the bonds that will lead to deeper understanding.

Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It's usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N. C., has studied the role of people's beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common,especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there's a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that's what scientists call“intellectual humility”—— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they'd change their study strategies to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn't see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn't stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard,or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test,they found they didn't actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it's important to remember that questioning beliefs isn't always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking“baby steps.”
32. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To give an example of overconfidence.
D. To show the result of wrong operation.
33. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter's research
A. It urged students to obtain recognition.
B. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
C. It encouraged students to take exams actively.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
34. What do the underlined words“got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5
A. Really enjoyed a subject.
B. Put great effort into a subject.
C. Fully mastered a subject.
D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
35. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs
A. How to practice intellectual humility.
B. Why questioning our belief is hard.
C. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
D. How to become a confident person.

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。
My brother Jack was so smart that he earned a full scholarship to Harvard. I often wished he wasn’t so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was a great pressure that I struggled to handle.
To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), dedicating every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed (压缩) into a series of endless tasks and deadlines.
“I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon, the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Unwillingly, I handed her the test paper.
The next day, I received my test back. I stared dumbfounded at the red mark: 76. Not even a B. minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt a great sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the sofa, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara ” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him “How I wish you were not so perfect!”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With a touch of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack gently approached me. _____________________________

His words were like a warm gentle wind, blowing my depression away and changing my mindset. _________
