As an education specialist, I believe the best way to prepare students for colleges and careersis to focus on providing instructional programs and opportunities that help them become goocthinkers. To do this, teachers and actually everyone else in a community, should play a role as acognitive(认知) coach”to students, helping develop good thinkers among our youth.
The best way for you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents in meaningful conversations.The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. Lt may be in a classroom, It may be at the grocery store, It may be at a basketball game. It doesn't matter where as long as you engage students in a topic conversation and，hopefully，even a debate. Mainly,you want to encourage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on “this thing，or that thing,”and ask them to support their position with evidence. Curiously enough，the simple process of engaging students in real life conversations and debates will serve to strengthen what they have learned in the classroom, and help them
create their own knowledge about sublect or a topic.
Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall the information.Knowledge,on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processing, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally,
the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your learners will differ from student to student, and in the level of complexity based on child's age and developmental level. Even a kindergartener has an opinion about things that are going on in his or her life. Engaging in conversation with any members of your learning community in ways that get at what they have learned and what they know will help them develop higher order reasoning skills.
A student's synthetic thinking(综合思维) process occurs when a respected adult asks question, particularly a question that requires reflection. I think all adults in a community have a responsibility to help children with this process, with the goal of producing independent thinkers
24.What contributes most to developing good young thinkers
A.Debating with classmates. B. Learning from respected adults.
C.Engaging in challenging activities. D. Putting forward a sensible argument.
25.Which is the best question raised by a cognitive coach
A.What have you learnt recently B.What nationality is Elbert Einstein
C.Why do you like playing football D.Where are you going this weekend
26.What does the author want to show by mentioning a kindergartener
A.Being a good young thinker is important.
B.Choosing conversation topics accordingly is essential.
C.Cultivating good young thinkers should start as early as possible.
D.Even children have their unique and independent ways of thinking
27.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To state an education idea. B.To assess a teaching strategy.
C.To introduce a learning method. D. To compare different education methods
C
The ability to use tools is rare in the animal world, Recently, ravens(渡鸦) have been proven capable of more than just using tools.
According to a paper published in Current Biology in April, 2023, scientists designed various tasks for a group of ravens. The first task was getting a nut out of a puzzle box, requiring two tools: first a short, sharp tool used to cut the membrane (薄膜), then a long stick to get the nut out of a hole. Five out of 10 ravens were able to reach the nut.
In the following tasks, the ravens were observed picking up tools before doing the task,showing their ability to plan ahead. Researchers also noticed that each raven had a different way of carrying and using the tools.
Using a set of tools means the animal can “solve problems through flexibly applying some insight of a given situation Mark Briffa at the University of Plymouth，UK ,told CNN.
The great intelligence of ravens makes them popular pets—they can imitate sounds and dance to music.However, these smart birds may suffer from mental health issues as mon signs of stress and anxiety include biting and feather picking, according to the PetMD website. Biting is often regarded as a form of attack, but sometimes ravens bite others due to stress and fear, Feather picking can be a more serious sign that the raven is unhappy. In extreme conditions, a raven may pluck(拔) out all of its feathers.
Some other pets show similar troubling behaviors too. For example, according to Discover magazine, pet dogs may chew their nails or lick their bodies so much that they form ulcers (溃疡). Pets desire attention, joy and excitement As scientists learn more about animal intelligence，we should keep in mind that they may suffer from psychological illnesses just like we do.
28.What was the first task
A. Picking up a nut using a long stick.
B. Breaking open a nut with a sharp tool
C. Carrying a set of tools to a specific location.
D. Cutting a hole in a puzzle box and reaching a nut inside.
29. What did scientists discover about the ravens from their studies
A. They were unable to plan ahead.
B. They could not create a set of tools.
C. They used the tools in different ways.
D. Most of them managed to reach the nut.
30. What is a sign of stress and anxiety in ravens, according to the article
A. Developing ulcers. B. Imitating sounds.
C. Quickly flapping their wings D. Plucking and picking at their feathers.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. What makes raven a popular pet B. Ravens suffer from mental problems
C. Ravens are smarter than other birds D. Ravens’high intelligence is a mixed blessing
D
Tiny sensory hair cells called stereocilia(静纤毛) located in your inner ear are responsible for detecting sound, When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.
Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protein that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth. “ Our discovery shows that hair cell function can be restored in certain cells,” said Dr Uri Manor, assistant research professor and director of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Core at Salk.
Stereocilia hair cells are found throughout the cochlea(耳蜗). Regions of the cochlea that sense low frequencies have longer stereocilia, while regions that sense high frequencies have shorterstereocilia. When sounds enter the ear, they cause fluid within the cochlea to vibrate(振动) ，which in turn causes the stereocilia to move..These hair cells then send signals to neurons(神经元), which pass on information about the sounds that we are hearing to the brain.
In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia , Without the protein, the growth of the hairs is stunted and they remain very short. For this latest study, the two researchers teamed up to design an experiment to see if adding EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells could stimulate their regrowth and improve hearing in mice. They used a common gene therapy(基因治疗)technique to deliver the protein to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.
The team found that EPS8 increased the length of the stereocilia and restored their functiorin low-frequency cells, although not enough to restore the hearing of the mice. However, they also found that the cells seemed to lose their ability to regenerate as they aged, The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPS8 further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is effective.
32.What is the author's purpose in writing paragraphs 1 and 2
A. To reveal causes of hearing problems.
B. To show different functions of stereocilia.
C.To prove the necessity of hearing protection.
D. To introduce the finding of a hearing-improving protein.
33.What does the underlined word “stunted”in paragraph 4 mean
A. Guaranteed. B. Prevented
C. Recorded. D. Reflected.
34.What did the researchers use the gene therapy technique to do
A. Help mice grow faster.
B. Keep viruses from growing.
C. Send EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells.
D. Remove aged stereocilia hair cells
35.What do the researchers plan to do B,Make EPS8 effective in aging cells
A. Restore the hearing of the mice.
B. Make EPS8 effective in aging cells
C. Investigate the formation of EPS8
D. Count low-frequency cells of aging mice

Meeting strangers is probably one of most people's biggest fears, only second to speaking in front of a crowd. Thankfully, it doesn't have to be an experience as scary as you might think 36 .

Don't be embarrassed if you're visibly nervous. If your voice cracks or your handshake is sweaty, laugh it off, If you're an amateur comedian and can make it into a joke, point it out and get people laughing with you, If it's something that makes you feel less confident, just ignore it.Everyone gets nervous sometimes, so push past and continue on with the conversation. 40 .

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 wife, Hannah, and I don't usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets eitherover-watered or under-watered. But after my diagnosis with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer. with a prognosis(预洲) of little more than a year to live, I loved the idea of having something new and green around.
My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-size stalks(叶柄). We placed the plant in the living room window across from the couch where I spent much of the day. I smiled when I looked at it over the rim of the mug of coffee Hannah brought me each morning. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself, When it didn't immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised.
Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me tired, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. As a family physician, I was used to being the one whoprovided care, not the one who received it.
Since my diagnosis in August 2018 , far too often, it seemed, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling adrift(漂浮的) and unsettled. Watering the plant，as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver. Plants and people could still depend on me.
Over the next few months，I recovered from surgery and completed radiation and the first round of chemotherapy. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush, Both the tree and I were thriving.
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。
Then, mysteriously, its leaves began to brown and drop,
As my anxiety lessened , I began to search for tips online to care for my sick plant，
