Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
24. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class
A. The story was too sad.
B. She was moved by the students.
C. She thought of her own grandmother.
D. She helped her students understand the story.
25. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3
A. She was good at writing books.
B. She inspired the writer’s love for reading.
C. She donated many books to poor students.
D. She was the favorite teacher of the whole class.
26. Which of the following words best describe Ms. Moore
A Responsible and caring. B. Positive and independent.
C. Inspiring and strict. D. Knowledgeable and confident.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To express opinions on teaching literature.
B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher.
C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school.
D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Anita Moore.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】

【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher.(每当我想起Anita Moore女士，我总是微笑着，为有她做我的老师而感到幸运)”和最后一段“Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher.

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.
“Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey more information with my body language instead of just with words.”
Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”
28. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC
A. Cultural difference. B. First impression.
C. Body language. D. English education.
29. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression
A. The food culture. B. The transportation means.
C. The climate. D. The public speaking style.
30. What can we learn about the IPSC
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums.
B. Body language plays an important part.
C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot.
D. Language quality is considered the most important.
31. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道的是一名中国学生参加国际演讲比赛的相关经历。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12.(你没有第二次机会给别人留下第一印象——这是今年5月11日至12日在伦敦举行的国际演讲比赛的主题。)”可知，今年国际演讲比赛的主题为“第一印象”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.(除了饮食、交通和气候的明显差异外，给吴印象最深的是中国和外国公开演讲的不同风格。)”可知，这次比赛令Wu Dongxu最为印象深刻的是中西公开演讲风格的差异。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are(这是我第一次在没有讲台的情况下发表演讲，这让我意识到眼神交流和肢体语言的重要性)”可知，在IPSC演讲比赛中没有讲台，肢体语言起着重要的作用。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.(对他来说，这次活动不仅仅是关于第一印象的演讲。这也给他留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，Wu Dongxu对此次比赛评价很高。故选A。
D
If you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How do you get those extra seconds of energy A research team at the Texes Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants underwent physically stressful exercise.
The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机), which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14-percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gym-goers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened to upbeat(快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music.
The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a no-brainer ,but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot," said the study's lead author, Waseem Shami, MD.
The study has confirmed something runners and gym-goers have suspected for years: Listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. "Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine," said Shami. When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too."
32. Why did Shami’s team conduct the research
A. To test the effect of music on health. B. To know the cause of failure in sports.
C. To improve runners' exercise tolerance. D. To record the body change of participants
33. What did the researchers than about the Participants in the stress testing
A. They ran much faster than average runners. B. They created a new record of indoor sports.
C. They could run a little longer with music on. D. They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge
34. What do the underlined words “a no-brainer” mean in paragraph 4
A. A dull activity. B. A foolish action.
C. A demanding task. D. An easy practice
35 What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph
A. Developing a daily exercise routine. B. Listening to music while working out
C. Participating in physical stress testing. D. Taking exercise as doctors recommend.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项研究表明，锻炼时听音乐可以提高运动耐力。介绍了这项研究的过程，以及研究结果证实了跑步者和健身爱好者多年来的怀疑：在锻炼时听音乐对你的耐力有好处。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段If you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.(如果你出去跑步，如果你能够再坚持50秒，会产生什么样的影响呢？如果你距离山顶不到一分钟，那么这段额外的时间就可以在你达到目标和从胜利的边缘抢夺失败之间做出不同的决定)可知对于运动员来说，最后的一分钟决定着成与败。以及第二段中How do you get those extra seconds of energy A research team at the Texes Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance.可知如何获得这些额外的能量？德克萨斯理工大学的一个研究小组开展了一项研究，以衡量听音乐对锻炼耐力的影响。由此推断，Shami的小组进行该研究的目的是怎样提高运动耐力。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds.可知听音乐的那一组比不听音乐的那一组平均多坚持了50.6秒。由此可知，音乐对测试者的运动耐力有一定影响，听音乐可以使他们坚持更长时间。故选C。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot可知但是30钟后你感觉自己好像在爬山，所以即使能多跑50秒也意义重大。由此推断，but表示转折，说明上文的意思是能够多跑一分钟，一开始好像是很容易的练习，但是三十分钟后就像在爬山一样累。故划线词意思为“容易的练习”。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中 "Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine," said Shami. "When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too."可知Shami说：“我们的研究结果证实了这样一个观点，即欢快的音乐可以帮助你锻炼的时间更长，并能坚持日常锻炼。当医生建议锻炼时，他们可能也会建议听音乐。”由此可推知，Shami建议我们锻炼时听音乐。故选B。

【37题详解】
根据上文“Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you.

【38题详解】
根据上文“Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.(你是想在几周内流利地说英语，还是想参加大脑训练？好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表)”以及后文“These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.(这些应用程序鼓励养成习惯，因为成功养成习惯可以确保你的安全定期回归)”可知，上文提到好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表，即好的应用程序可以自我调整，来适应使用者的习惯，F选项中the best apps对应后文中These apps。故F选项“最好的应用程序会根据你的行为进行自我调整”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
空处为本段小标题。根据下文“I don’t mean posting your progress online. I mean social for real. I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support of Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to accompany you. Take an evening class. Borrow a book. Buy a book. Book a week away and attend a language school. Just don't forget your phone!（我的意思不是把你的进展公布在网上。我是说真正的社交。我在意大利语方面取得的进步速度归功于我的学习伙伴吉姆的支持。找个朋友陪你。上夜校。借一本书。买一本书。预订一周的假期，然后去语言学校学习。别忘了你的手机！）”可知，本段建议我们要利用app进行社交以帮助自己。C项“使其具有社交性”可以作为本段小标题。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If I may speak sincerely, the combination of apps, language school, Jim, evening out, and a choice book or two proved extremely effective.(坦率地说，app、language school、Jim、evening out和一两本精选书的结合证明是非常有效的)”可知，上文提到了一种有效的方法，言下之意，作者推荐这种做法，A选项中it指代上文the combination of。A选项“我推荐”符合语境，故选A。

Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
24. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class
A. The story was too sad.
B. She was moved by the students.
C. She thought of her own grandmother.
D. She helped her students understand the story.
25. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3
A. She was good at writing books.
B. She inspired the writer’s love for reading.
C. She donated many books to poor students.
D. She was the favorite teacher of the whole class.
26. Which of the following words best describe Ms. Moore
A Responsible and caring. B. Positive and independent.
C. Inspiring and strict. D. Knowledgeable and confident.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To express opinions on teaching literature.
B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher.
C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school.
D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Anita Moore.
C
You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.
“Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey more information with my body language instead of just with words.”
Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”
28. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC
A. Cultural difference. B. First impression.
C. Body language. D. English education.
29. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression
A. The food culture. B. The transportation means.
C. The climate. D. The public speaking style.
30. What can we learn about the IPSC
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums.
B. Body language plays an important part.
C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot.
D. Language quality is considered the most important.
31. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
D
If you're out for a run, what difference does it make if you're able to tough it out for another 50 seconds If you're less than a minute from the top of the hill, that extra time can make the difference between having reached your goal and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
How do you get those extra seconds of energy A research team at the Texes Tech University developed a study to measure what effect listening to music would have on exercise tolerance. The researchers based the study on a stress testing. As part of the testing, they noted any changes in heart rate and blood pressure as participants underwent physically stressful exercise.
The tests were done on treadmills (跑步机), which increased in both speed and incline (坡度) through three stages. In the final stage, the treadmills moved at 10 miles per hour at a 14-percent grade. Most of these tests were designed to last up to 40 minutes. The average gym-goers lasted 30 minutes. For this study, they divided 127 participants into two groups. One listened to upbeat(快节奏) music, while the other group had earbuds in but did not listen to music.
The group that listened to music was able to outlast the non-music group by an average of 50.6 seconds. Again, being able to go an extra minute may seem like a no-brainer ,but “after 30 minutes, you feel like you are running up a mountain, so even being able to go 50 seconds longer means a lot," said the study's lead author, Waseem Shami, MD.
The study has confirmed something runners and gym-goers have suspected for years: Listening to music during workout can be beneficial to your endurance. "Our findings reinforce the idea that upbeat music can help you exercise longer and stick with a daily exercise routine," said Shami. When doctors are recommending exercise, they might suggest listening to music, too."
32. Why did Shami’s team conduct the research
A. To test the effect of music on health. B. To know the cause of failure in sports.
C. To improve runners' exercise tolerance. D. To record the body change of participants
33. What did the researchers than about the Participants in the stress testing
A. They ran much faster than average runners. B. They created a new record of indoor sports.
C. They could run a little longer with music on. D. They all enjoyed extreme physical challenge
34. What do the underlined words “a no-brainer” mean in paragraph 4
A. A dull activity. B. A foolish action.
C. A demanding task. D. An easy practice
35. What did Shami suggest us doing in the last paragraph
A. Developing a daily exercise routine. B. Listening to music while working out
C. Participating in physical stress testing. D. Taking exercise as doctors recommend.

That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive.
Keith had always wanted a handphone, But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”

Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.”
Mary said, “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest
Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying her best to talk some sense into him.
