Jon Batiste, a big figure in the music world, views revisiting classic works as a golden opportunity, as seen in his latest album （专辑） “Beethoven Blues,” where he gives new life to Beethoven’s compositions. He perceives a universal and powerful essence in Beethoven’s music, similar to that in the blues.
Batiste served as a bandleader for“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” until 2022 and is now on the board at The Juilliard School. And he has received numerous Grammy nominations （提名） and wins across diverse musical categories. His documentary“American Symphony,” whichdetails the composition and premiere of his symphony at Carnegie Hall in 2022, as well as the storyof his wife Suleika Jaouad’s battle with leukemia (a type of blood illness), has earned him further recognition.
Batiste maintains the idea that classical music, Beethoven’s works included, is suitable for reformation. There is a need to break away from the traditional perception of classical music. For instance, in his album, he starts with“Für Elise”, a piece familiar to many, and adds his own creative touches.
However, Batiste’s journey at Juilliard was not without challenges. As an ambitious teenager from Louisiana, his unconventional pursuits outside the classroom sometimes conflicted with the school’s expectations. However, he later returned to Juilliard to honor his family’s musical legacy and is now working to make the institution more inclusive.
During his wife’s illness, Batiste found that creativity served as a source of strength. His music, often associated with joy, also has roots in struggle, as exemplified by“American Symphony,”which addresses the nation’s deep-seated pain and cultural tensions. Through his art, Batiste aims to bridge the past and present, creating works that resonate （共鸣） with the human experience.
24．What can we know about Batiste’s latest album
A．It was released when he was a bandleader. B．It is a collection of traditional blues music.
C．It includes Beethoven’s original compositions. D．It gives new interpretations to Beethoven’s works.
25．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A．Batiste’s musical accomplishments. B．Batiste’s source of inspiration.
C．Batiste’s success in Grammy-related events. D．Batiste’s novel music comprehension.
26．Which words can best describe Batiste
A．Well-educated and ambitious. B．Broad-minded and creative.
C．Warm-hearted and responsible. D．Strong-willed and considerate.
27．Which of the following might Batiste agree with
A．The newer, the better. B．Classics should always be respected.
C．Something new can always be found in the old. D．There is nothing impossible for a willing heart.
C
Scientists have uncovered a crucial piece in the puzzle of dinosaur feather evolution （羽毛进化）. Some feathered dinosaurs, along with their characteristic sharp teeth and large bodies, alsohad skin similar to that of modern reptiles （爬行动物）. Feathers likely developed in specific areas of the dinosaur’s body, while other parts were covered in reptilian scales （鳞片）. A study published in the journal Nature Communications details these findings, providing new insights into the evolutionary shift from scales to feathers.
Feathers serve a variety of functions beyond flight. For instance, peacocks use them to attract mates. Penguins benefit from reduced drag when they dive underwater, and herons can even use their feathers to create shade. Most feathered dinosaurs, such as theropods and sauropods, probably used feathers to keep warm.
Maria McNamara, a scientist at University College Cork in Ireland and a co-author of the study, commented that the shift from reptilian scales to feathers is a crucial milestone in vertebrate （脊椎动物的） evolution. This phenomenon, despite being the focus of substantial research, stillresists complete understanding. Although numerous feather fossils have been studied, fossilized skin is extremely rare.
In this research, a team from University College Cork and Nanjing University in China examined a rare fossilized skin sample of the feathered dinosaur Psittacosaurus. This small, two-legged, horned dinosaur lived in what is now Mongolia and China during the early Cretaceous period, around 135—120 million years ago, when dinosaurs were starting to evolve into birds.
The research team used a device which sent out ultraviolet light （紫外线） to identify areas of preserved Psittacosaurus skin, which are invisible under natural light. Further inspection with X-rays and infrared light revealed the preserved cellular structure. To their surprise, the fossilized skin was made of silica, the same compound （化合物） as glass. This type of preservation has never been found in vertebrate fossils before.
The team believes that softer, more bird-like skin might have initially developed only in the feathered parts of the dinosaur’s body, while the rest of the skin resembled the scales of modern reptiles. This zoned development would have retained essential skin functions, like protection against abrasion, dehydration, and parasites. As a result, the first dinosaurs to develop feathers could survive and pass on the genes for feathers to their later generations.
28．What’s the significance of the study
A．It challenges our understanding of dinosaurs.
B．It helps better understand how scales formed.
C．It provides crucial evidence for vertebrate evolution.
D．It reveals how dinosaurs became extinct.
29．What message does Maria McNamara deliver
A．Feathers evolved from scales very quickly.
B．The evolutionary process remains partly unknown.
C．There is an urgent demand for more feather fossils.
D．Feathers are necessary in dinosaurs’defence mechanism.
30．What can be learned about the research
A．It lacked international cooperation.
B．It ignored the diversity of dinosaur species.
C．It employed multiple advanced technologies.
D．It mainly focused on the dinosaur’s appearance.
31．What does the underlined word“retained” in the last paragraph mean
A．Preserved. B．Transformed. C．Stimulated. D．Removed.
D
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 （思维模式） 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.
32．Why does the author compare the brain to a muscle
A．To prove they possess memory cells.
B．To show they can be strengthened through exercise.
C．To emphasize they transport information quickly.
D．To illustrate they are important organs of the body.
33．What are children with a growth mindset like according to Dweck
A．They tend to shy away from trouble.
B．They prefer positive feedback from others.
C．They regard intelligence as an unchangeable quality.
D．They view barriers as opportunities for personal growth.
34．Which of the following enhances executive function
A．Creative engagement. B．Organizing activities personally.
C．Engaging in direct interaction. D．Complete independence.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．IQ and Its Influence on Learning
B．The Growth Mindset: A Key to Difficulty-Solving
C．The Significance of Executive Function in Education
D．Brainpower Building: Encourage a Growth Mindset

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes, determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to first takes energy you don’t have to spare. 36, you still need to figure out how to prioritize them. Try the 3-3-3 method.
This technique comes from Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. 37. First, devote three hours to deep work on your most important project. Next, complete three other urgent tasks that don’t require three hours of focus. Finally, do three “maintenance” tasks, like cleaning, answering emails, or scheduling other work.
38. Jumping into it first means you’ll be fresh, focused, and more likely to be able tofocus on a task without getting distracted. Keep those three hours free of emails, texts, chit-chat, or other smaller duties, to the best of your ability.
Deep work produces major productivity, so you’ll get a lot accomplished if you commit to it, but you can’t stay in that mindset forever. You’ll wear yourself out after about three hours. 39.
Finally, your maintenance tasks give you a chance to get things done while giving your brain a rest. This technique is similar to“eating the frog”, or doing your hardest task first thing. 40, or you can use it to put finishing touches on whatever you were working on during those three hours of intense focus.
You can use this technique to manage seven different tasks of varying urgency levels. Just be sure to stick with the process, starting with the big lift and finishing off with the little jobs that keep it all flowing.
A．So go to three other smaller tasks to stay productive
B．But even when you know what tasks need to be done
C．He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model
D．Even if you pay attention to how many resources you will need
E．He’ll feel the same sense of relief when moving onto lesser tasks
F．Use your maintenance time to prepare for the following day’s work
G．What distinguishes this method from others is the first three hours’deep work

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。
Volcanic ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallaj kull made Europe’s airports shut down for nearly a week, leaving thousands of passengers stranded （滞留） across the globe. Among them was Agnes’s mother, Sophia Atila Kafu, who was stuck at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, nearly 4,000 miles away from Agnes, who was in Canada, waiting for her mother to attend her graduation ceremony.
This would hardly be notable were it not for the fact that Sophia was 64, had never been outside Kenya, had never been on a plane, had never been inside an airport, spoke only Swahili （斯瓦希里语）, carried only 25 euros and didn’t have a working mobile.
By the time Agnes realized something was wrong, Sophia had already been stranded at Schiphol for 19 hours. She had some emergency contact details with her but, so far, no call had been made or received.
Realizing that her mother was unable to seek help, Agnes called the airline, KLM （荷兰航空）, to ask if they could search for her. The airline told her that there was too much chaos in theairport and that they would not be able to locate one particular person.
Unable to rest, Agnes contacted her friends and her colleagues for help. Soon, there were people from Boston, Toronto, New York and San Francisco working on a solution. By now, Sophia had been stranded for nearly 40 hours.
One of Agnes’s friends sent an email to her contacts titled“Urgently need your networking help!” It begged, “Do you know anyone who’s stranded in Amsterdam, or know anyone whose Facebook friends or Twitter followers might be there ”
This email spread quickly among friends of friends. Within two hours, the email went into the inbox of George Bougias, the manager of Delta Airlines (a KLM partner). George happened to know Swahili. A few minutes later, George was on his way to the airport. He and six security agents began to comb the airport.

W: I’m Susie, and I’m here to talk about improving a park in my city called Central Park. My interest in the park was inspired by my childhood hobbies. I used to collect wild flowers, and my books were mostly about science. When I was young, I liked playing ball games in Central Park with my friends. Two years ago, I went back to the park again for a walk and was amazed to see how rich it was in wildlife. But there was also lots of plastic waste lying around. So I found volunteers to help clean up the park. Since then, the park has become popular with local people. There are two lakes in the park, and they attract birds. But they need looking after, as the water can dry up during dry seasons. So now I’m working with the local environmental agency to protect that! Now, I’m very busy, and it’s hard to fit in things like hanging out with my friends. But they understand I need to continue working on improving the park.

One possible version:
Dear Jimmy,
I’m delighted to learn that you are going to organize a study tour in China. For such an inspiring journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Xi’an.
Xi’an, an ancient capital of China, has a profound historical and cultural heritage. It was the starting point of the Silk Road, which once connected the East and the West, playing a crucial role in cultural exchanges.
There are numerous historical sites that can offer a vivid and immersive experience of Chinese culture. The Terracotta Army is a must-visit. Standing in front of the terracotta warriors, you can feel the charm of the ancient Qin Dynasty. The city wall ofXi’an is another iconic landmark, where you can enjoy the city view while cycling.
I hope this suggestion helps!
Yours,
Li Hua
写作第二节（满分25分）
One possible version:
Near midnight, they noticed a figure wrapped in a blanket outside the airport. They walked over and lifted the blanket. Underneath was a woman in her 60s. “Mama Sophia ” asked George. Then, in Swahili: “We’ve been sent here by your daughter.” Sophia nodded and smiled. Shaken but relieved, she explained that another African woman, who spoke English, had taken care of her. They had tried to call Agnes but hadn’t been able to reach her number. To the relief of everyone, Mama Sophia was finally found.
Four days later, Sophia arrived in Canada in time for Agnes’s graduation ceremony. A worrying event finally came to a good end. Agnes was grateful that so many people had helped her and was in awe of the power of the Internet. Surprisingly, the experience left Sophia more positive about flying. Troublesome as it was, the kindness of strangers taught her an important lesson. “You might have a problem,” she said. “But as long as other people know it, it’s not only yours anymore.”
