I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.
I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.
4. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes
A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the class.
C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well.
5. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No.8
A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.
C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.
6. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry
A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.
C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.
7. What can be inferred about the author from the passage
A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college.
C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.(洗衣机的工作完成了，但即使过了一个小时，烘干机似乎也几乎没有烘干我的衣服。我离开了，决定在8月的高温下在车上风干它们)”可知，作者之所以拿着湿衣服离开是因为烘干机没用。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.(一个月后，我才知道她的名字叫Sandy，是在我帮她阻止一台洗衣机在地板上移动后，她告诉我的。当时我正在桌子旁批改诗歌，突然一个洗衣机松开了，飞到空中一英寸。我跳到洗衣机前，抓住不放，她拔下插头。第二个星期，Sandy告诉我8号烘干机是最快的)”可推知，Sandy告诉我8号烘干机最快是因为她想对作者表达感谢。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.(她开玩笑说，当诗人比当洗衣工更难谋生。即使那时我也知道她可能是对的)”可推知，Sandy认为诗人的待遇太差。故选C。

C
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils’ scholastic (学业的) performance in mathematics, science, and reading undertaken by the OECD (经济合作与发展组织). A closer look at the reading tests, shows the interesting fact that girls are outperforming boys in reading and that this is associated with girls’ greater enjoyment of reading.
One key area which has a major impact on reading performance, is reading for enjoyment rather than simply for study or school work purposes. Interestingly, the PISA study found that in all countries assessed (apart from South Korea), girls read for enjoyment more than boys. The study found that in all the countries assessed, just over half of boys (52%), but almost three-quarters of girls (73%) said that they read for enjoyment which may come as a surprise to many.
In countries such as Estonia and the Netherlands, the difference between boys and girls was most significant, where they found a 30% gap or more between the genders. Additionally in places such as Austria and Liechtenstein, very low levels of boys expressed interest in reading (40%or less), which are worrying statistics.
However, not all countries had such an obvious trend. In places like Japan, boys and girls read for enjoyment at an almost identical level, with 54% of boys and 58% of girls reporting that they enjoy reading. And there were a few countries and regions that scored very highly in boys reading enjoyment, for example in Albania, Indonesia and Shanghai in China where at least 80% of boys enjoy reading. Although these positive numbers are matched and passed by girls who reported an even higher level of reading enjoyment (90%or higher).
An interesting area which the PISA study looked at was the types of literature that both girls and boys generally enjoy. There were clear differences in the choices boys and girls make when deciding on what to read. Boys were found to enjoy reading magazines, newspapers and comic books more than girls. Girls were found to be twice as likely to enjoy works of fiction than boys.
Countries need to think about ways to inspire interest for boys in reading and ensure that they are exposed to a wide variety of different types of literature from a young age. Given that in OECD countries two in three boys only read newspapers for pleasure proves that there is work to be done.
8. What does the underlined word “outperforming” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Performing better than. B. Performing worse than.
C. Being more profitable than. D. Being the same as.
9. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. In more than half of the countries surveyed, most boys read for pleasure.
B. In all countries assessed, over 70% girls read for study and schoolwork.
C. In all countries assessed, boys read for pleasure more than girls.
D. Enjoyment of reading is one of the main factors affecting reading performance.
10. What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4
A. In Austria, 40%more girls than boys are interested in reading.
B. In some countries 30%more girls read for pleasure than boys do.
C. More than half of the boys and girls in Japan have no interest in reading.
D. More boys than girls like reading in Shanghai.
11. What could be the best title of the passage
A. PISA—A Worldwide Study Programme
B. Do Girls Read More Than Boys
C. Do Boys and Girls Have Different Reading Habits
D. Reading Strategies for Boys and Girls
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，女孩在阅读方面的表现优于男孩，这与女孩更喜欢阅读有关。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。各级划线单词下文“that this is associated with girls’ greater enjoyment of reading. (这与女孩子更喜欢阅读有关。)”可知，女孩更喜欢阅读，所以在阅读方面比男孩好，由此可推知，划线单词outperforming意为“比……好”，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One key area which has a major impact on reading performance, is reading for enjoyment rather than simply for study or school work purposes. (对阅读成绩有重大影响的一个关键领域是为了享受而阅读，而不仅仅是为了学习或学校工作的目的。)”可知，享受阅读是影响阅读成绩的主要因素之一。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In countries such as Estonia and the Netherlands, the difference between boys and girls was most significant, where they found a 30% gap or more between the genders. (在爱沙尼亚和荷兰等国家，男孩和女孩之间的差异最为显著，他们发现男女之间的差距达到或超过30% )”可知，在一些国家，为了乐趣而阅读的女孩比男孩多30%甚至更多，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils’ scholastic (学业的) performance in mathematics, science, and reading undertaken by the OECD (经济合作与发展组织). A closer look at the reading tests, shows the interesting fact that girls are outperforming boys in reading and that this is associated with girls’ greater enjoyment of reading. (国际学生评估计划(PISA)是一项全球性的研究，针对的是15岁学生在数学、科学、以及经合组织进行的阅读。仔细观察阅读测试，我们会发现一个有趣的事实：女孩在阅读方面的表现优于男孩，这与女孩更喜欢阅读有关。)”可知，文章主要讲述了男孩和女孩在阅读习惯方面的差距，C项“男孩和女孩有不同的阅读习惯吗？”适合做文章标题，故选C。
D
Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
12. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans
13. What can we learn about the experiment
A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment
B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns
C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.
D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment.
14. It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.
A optic flow mechanism is unique to humans
B. mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish
C. goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information
D. visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish
15. What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study
A. Neutral. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了牛津大学的研究人员对金鱼内部导航系统的研究发现，研究人员通过实验发现，金鱼似乎使用一种“光学流机制”来估算自身的运动距离，其行为受到视觉密度和环境中的光学纹理等因素的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(金鱼可能看起来像在玻璃鱼缸里游泳的简单生物，但它们拥有相当复杂的导航系统，正如牛津大学Adelaide Sibeaux博士领导的研究人员所发现的那样，这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，Adelaide Sibeaux对金鱼进行这项研究是为了揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.(在多次试验中，当看到垂直的2厘米宽的条纹时，金鱼的平均游泳距离为74厘米，误差为17厘米。然而，当条纹图案被改变为较窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼缸设置的改变导致了金鱼的错误判断。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的“光流机制”。他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明，包括人类在内的哺乳动物基于视觉特征的角度运动使用了不同的光流机制。这项研究表明，视觉距离信息的使用可能在进化的早期就出现了)”可知，本段可得出结论，金鱼使用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早，也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的。故选D项。

Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. ___17___ Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. Making your presentation interactive used to be hard, but now you can just use Storydoc. Go make your first interactive presentation. It’s easy as pie.
___18___ No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. Images can be super effective at communicating complex information and save you a lot of needless text. In fact, visual representation of data and concepts can often convey what words cannot. Use diagrams and images to illustrate your points and simplify the complex.
Narrate your content. ___19___ Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable.
Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. ___20___ More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners
A. Show, don’t tell
B. Make every word count.
C. This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar
D. If you don’t sound excited, the listeners won’t feel excited either
E. Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts.
F. Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations
G. For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何传递复杂信息提出了一系列的建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you’re lost in confusing terms, data and concepts Are you giving others this same experience (你是否曾经读过一篇演讲，感觉自己迷失在混乱的术语、数据和概念中？你会给别人同样的经历吗？)”可知空前就交流中可能出现的术语、数据和概念的混乱提出了两个问题，根据空后“But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and reengage your audience. Here’s how you can get complex information across. (但是有一些方法可以简化你的演讲并重新吸引你的听众。下面是如何传递复杂信息的方法。)”可知此处指出有一些可以传递复杂信息的方法，空处承上启下，所以空处应该提出传递复杂信息这个话题，F项Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations. (在演讲中，传达复杂的信息是一个常见的挑战。)提出传递复杂信息这个话题，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. (使用交互式内容。这会让读者更积极地参与到你的演讲中来。)”可知本段的建议是使用交互式内容，根据空后“Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers to readers as part of your presentation. (除此之外，问卷调查和聊天机器人为读者提供个性化和具体的答案，作为你演讲的一部分。)”可知此处仍然讲的是交互式内容的好处，空处呈上启下，所以空处应该就空前所提到的交互式内容举出例子，G项For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace. (例如，允许他们选择他们想要的内容路线并控制节奏。)举例说明如何使用交互式内容，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
空处位于句首，应是本段的主旨句。根据空后“No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. (没有人会读一篇一千字的报告。帮大家一个忙，使用图片。)”可知此处讲的是要善于运用图片而不是篇幅较长的文字来展示自己所讲的内容，所以空处的建议应该是运用展示而不是讲的方式来传递复杂信息，A项Show, don’t tell(展示，不要告诉)指出要用展示的方式，概括了本段的主旨大意，符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Narrate your content. (叙述你的内容。)”可知本段的建议是运用讲故事的方式来传递复杂信息，根据空后“Whether it’s through text to speech Al or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable. (无论是通过文本到语音还是视频气泡，以故事为中心的演讲都可以帮助引导观众理解复杂的内容，使其更容易理解、更吸引人、更难忘。)”可知此处讲的仍然是通过讲故事的形式来传递信息的好处，所以空后应该对这一建议所能采用的方法进行进一步的解释，E项Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts. (讲故事是传达复杂概念的另一个强大工具。)指出了讲故事是叙述的传达复杂概念的一种强大工具，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we’ve already known and understood. (使用例子和表格。它们可以帮助我们清楚地解释思想的复杂性，因为它们是我们已经知道和理解的。)”可知本段的建议是使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息，根据空后“More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant-those are the ones that will truly ring with your listeners. (更重要的是，真正的秘诀在于选择那些不仅熟悉而且非常相关的例子——那些能真正引起听众共鸣的例子。)”可知此处依旧讲的使用例子的好处，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是运用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，C项This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar. (这使得复杂的概念不再那么新鲜，而是更加熟悉。)指出使用例子和表格来传递复杂信息的好处，符合上下文语境。故选C项。

They don’t know about my father working under a little roof. They don’t know about my mother riding an old yellow bicycle through the rain and the cold and several dangerous areas every day when I was a little boy.
Initially, the walls of our house were supposed to be white. But I never remember them being white. At first, they were grey, then turning black. My father was a coal worker. He made charcoal in our house. Have you ever seen charcoal being made The little bags you buy in the store for barbeque, they come from somewhere, and honestly, it’s a very dirty business.
I remember one day I was bagging up the charcoal with my dad, and it was really cold and raining. All we had was the tiny roof over our heads. After a few hours, I got to go to school, where it was warm. My dad stayed out there working, all day. If he didn’t sell that day, maybe we wouldn’t have enough to eat.
I thought to myself: At some point, everything is going to change. For this, I owe football everything.
I started football early. I played so much football that every two months, my boots would break apart. When I was seven, I must have been pretty good, because I scored 64 goals for my neighborhood team.
That year, my dad got a call from a coach saying they wanted me to play there. My dad asked, “Oh, it’s too far away. Nine kilometers. How will we get him there ” My mom said, “No, no, no! Don’t worry, I’ll take him!”

【答案】 “Let’s make and sell more charcoal per day to buy a used bike!” my mother said with a determined look. During the following whole month, in our little black house, my father made charcoal day and night and he nearly had no time to wash his face, which made him look like a moving black coal. My mother began to take responsibility for selling the charcoal. In order to sell all the charcoal, my mother nearly walked every corner of our town in a day. Back from school, I always helped my father fire charcoal or my mother sell charcoal. Ultimately, with the joint effort of my whole family, we saved sufficient money to buy a used bike.
My mother used the old bicycle to drive me to training every day. My mother biked through town with me on the back and a bag in the basket with my boots. Up hills. Down hills. We would get through some dangerous neighborhoods in the freezing cold rain or in the horrible dark. The bicycle witnessed me becoming a promising football player. Finally, we bought a comfortable house with pure white walls. My father and mother needn’t work so hard. However, I will never forget the tough journey, always inspiring me to move forward.

I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.
I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.
4. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes
A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the class.
C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well.
5. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No.8
A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.
C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.
6. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry
A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.
C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.
7. What can be inferred about the author from the passage
A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college.
C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.
C
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils’ scholastic (学业的) performance in mathematics, science, and reading undertaken by the OECD (经济合作与发展组织). A closer look at the reading tests, shows the interesting fact that girls are outperforming boys in reading and that this is associated with girls’ greater enjoyment of reading.
One key area which has a major impact on reading performance, is reading for enjoyment rather than simply for study or school work purposes. Interestingly, the PISA study found that in all countries assessed (apart from South Korea), girls read for enjoyment more than boys. The study found that in all the countries assessed, just over half of boys (52%), but almost three-quarters of girls (73%) said that they read for enjoyment which may come as a surprise to many.
In countries such as Estonia and the Netherlands, the difference between boys and girls was most significant, where they found a 30% gap or more between the genders. Additionally in places such as Austria and Liechtenstein, very low levels of boys expressed interest in reading (40%or less), which are worrying statistics.
However, not all countries had such an obvious trend. In places like Japan, boys and girls read for enjoyment at an almost identical level, with 54% of boys and 58% of girls reporting that they enjoy reading. And there were a few countries and regions that scored very highly in boys reading enjoyment, for example in Albania, Indonesia and Shanghai in China where at least 80% of boys enjoy reading. Although these positive numbers are matched and passed by girls who reported an even higher level of reading enjoyment (90%or higher).
An interesting area which the PISA study looked at was the types of literature that both girls and boys generally enjoy. There were clear differences in the choices boys and girls make when deciding on what to read. Boys were found to enjoy reading magazines, newspapers and comic books more than girls. Girls were found to be twice as likely to enjoy works of fiction than boys.
Countries need to think about ways to inspire interest for boys in reading and ensure that they are exposed to a wide variety of different types of literature from a young age. Given that in OECD countries two in three boys only read newspapers for pleasure proves that there is work to be done.

Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
12. Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans
13. What can we learn about the experiment
A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment
B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns
C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.
D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment.
14. It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.
A. optic flow mechanism is unique to humans
B. mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish
C. goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information
D. visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish
15. What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study
A. Neutral. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable.

Nowadays people look on YouTube, watch the World Cup and see that I am now a superstar, but they don’t know the journey. They don’t know about my living room walls turning from white to black. They don’t know about my father working under a little roof. They don’t know about my mother riding an old yellow bicycle through the rain and the cold and several dangerous areas every day when I was a little boy.
Initially, the walls of our house were supposed to be white. But I never remember them being white. At first, they were grey, then turning black. My father was a coal worker. He made charcoal in our house. Have you ever seen charcoal being made The little bags you buy in the store for barbeque, they come from somewhere, and honestly, it’s a very dirty business.
I remember one day I was bagging up the charcoal with my dad, and it was really cold and raining. All we had was the tiny roof over our heads. After a few hours, I got to go to school, where it was warm. My dad stayed out there working, all day. If he didn’t sell that day, maybe we wouldn’t have enough to eat.
I thought to myself: At some point, everything is going to change. For this, I owe football everything.
I started football early. I played so much football that every two months, my boots would break apart. When I was seven, I must have been pretty good, because I scored 64 goals for my neighborhood team.
That year, my dad got a call from a coach saying they wanted me to play there. My dad asked, “Oh, it’s too far away. Nine kilometers. How will we get him there ” My mom said, “No, no, no! Don’t worry, I’ll take him!”
