M:Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m pleased to meet all of you here because you are my special guests. Welcome to the museum of our company. My name is Brown. I am the general manager of the company. As you all know, we mainly make computers in our company. We also make some other products. But we are quite interested in education. That’s why we have founded this museum. We hope children can learn how computers have been developed, how they are made and how they are used in industry, agriculture, scientific research, and many other areas. Children can try the computers. They can push buttons and listen to stories about computers, and they can enjoy video shows. I know you are all teachers, and you know what school children really need. So I hope you can give me some advice after you have looked around. I want my museum to be the best when it opens to all school children. This is Mr Tom Silver, my assistant. He will tell you more about our museum. I’ll be with you again in one hour and a half. Enjoy yourselves. See you later.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了澳大利亚的一些高中项目及其优点。
21.B　细节理解题。根据第二段 “This is a great opportunity for students to see what daily family life is like in Australia.”及“…those familiar with the language already can use this opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day life in Australia.”可知,参加该项目可以让学生更好地了解澳大利亚的日常生活,即更好地理解当地的文化。故选B项。
22.B　细节理解题。根据第三段“Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism.”可知,对烹饪感兴趣的同学可能会参加该项目。故选B项。
23.A　细节理解题。根据第四段“Oftentimes these summer programmes can be partnered with universities that will allow students to receive college credits.”可知,参加暑期学习项目可以获得学分。故选A项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Mike Huss通过自己的努力从一名看门人转变成一所小学的校长。
24.B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Huss said he never wanted to be an educator, but his seventh-grade teacher felt otherwise. ‘I remember Mrs Collier telling me, “You will be such a great teacher someday.” And I laughed at her. It is not going to happen, but here I am,’ he said.”可知,当他的老师鼓励他时,他几乎不敢相信老师说的话。故选B项。
25.C　细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Huss thinks his success comes from a push from his family. He wanted to show his young son, who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching, that you can do anything you put your mind to.”可知,渴望成为儿子的榜样促使他在事业上取得进步。故选C项。
26.B　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“She said, ‘The kids aren’t used to seeing him in the office, so we have kids who come in all day long asking “Is Mr Huss busy We miss him so much!”’”可知,Melanie的话表明Huss很受孩子们的欢迎。故选B项。
27.D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段“I’m trying to help students believe that they can achieve great things…”以及第五段“Huss thinks his success comes from a push from his family. He wanted to show his young son, who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching, that you can do anything you put your mind to.”可知,Huss想让孩子们明白,下定决心并且努力就可以取得伟大的成就,因此stay the course的意思是“不断努力”,故选D项。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过展示研究成果告诉我们,手写在学习中依然扮演着重要的角色。
28.A　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,研究人员通过将42名成年志愿者分成三组来学习阿拉伯语字母,一些人通过在纸上书写,一些人通过在键盘上打字,还有一些人通过观看和响应视频指令,然后对比三组成员的学习成果,发现手写组的人能更快地学会不熟悉的字母,由此可推知,研究人员是通过比较得出结论的。故选A。
29.C　推理判断题。根据第二段“Those in the handwriting group not only learned the unfamiliar letters more quickly, but they were also better able to apply their new knowledge to other areas—by using the letters to make new words and to recognize words they hadn’t seen before, for example.”和第五段“In every follow-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained on, the writing group performed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling words, and reading words.”可知,手写组的人能更快地学会不熟悉的字母,并且在说出字母、书写字母、拼写单词和读单词方面表现得最好,而学习字母和拼写单词都是学习语言的相关技巧,由此可推知,手写组在学习一门新语言方面表现得最好。故选C。
30.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While 42 people isn’t a huge sample size for a study of this type, the trends reported by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an important role to play in learning, even as digital formats (格式) have come to control our communication.”可知,因为数字工具的功能更加强大,已经开始控制我们的交流,所以我们在学习中使用笔和纸的频率降低了。再根据最后一段“Today pupils in schools spend far less time than they used to on handwriting skills and practice for obvious reasons—but based on what this study shows, it wouldn’t be wise to put away the pens and pencils permanently.”可知,句中obvious reasons指代的就是数字工具在学习中的使用,由此可推知,学生花在书写技能上的时间比过去少了是因为如今数字工具的功能更加强大了。故选B。
31.D　主旨大意题。通读文章,结合倒数第二段“While 42 people isn’t a huge sample size for a study of this type, the trends reported by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an important role to play in learning, even as digital formats (格式) have come to control our communication.”可知,文章主要通过展示研究成果告诉我们,手写在学习中依然扮演着重要的角色,比使用数字设备的学习效果更好。选项D “Handwriting is better in learning”能够概括文章的主要内容,故选D。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了南极海冰的减少影响帝企鹅的生存。
32.B　细节理解题。根据第二段“While looking at satellite images in 2022, geographer Peter Fretwell noticed that ice in one area was melting (融化) especially early in the year. He and his colleagues wanted to measure the influence of this ice loss on emperor penguins in the Bellingshausen Sea off Western Antarctica.”可知,Peter Fretwell的研究目标是了解海冰消融对帝企鹅的影响。故选B。
33.C　推理判断题。根据第三段“Emperor penguins rely on stable (稳定的) sea ice throughout their breeding season.”以及第四段“Some of those other groups have also experienced bad breeding seasons lately. On Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf, the world’s second-largest emperor penguin group at the time had three years of breeding failure from 2016 to 2018 after storms broke up sea ice there, Fretwell and a colleague previously reported.”可知,这两段主要介绍了海冰的破裂导致繁殖失败。故选C。
34.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The new study, recording breeding failure across several groups at once, is the first observation that agrees with the worst expectations of what could happen as the Earth continues to warm.”可知,这项新研究的特别之处是它符合最坏的预期。故选A。
35.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the future of emperor penguins is worrying, Fretwell still has hope. ‘If we can slow down global warming…we can turn around the future of the emperor penguin,’ he says. ‘But that window of opportunity is getting smaller, so we really have to act now.’”可知,Fretwell仍然抱有希望,所以他对于帝企鹅的未来的态度是积极的。故选D。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了坐游轮旅游是一种有趣的旅游方式以及你可能会爱上这种旅游方式的理由。
36.D　空格前讲的是以前人们通过水路进行货物运输,空格后指出现如今游轮可以带人们在水上旅游。空格处应该继续讲以前的情况。D项“所以在那个时候,城镇沿着河流发展。”介绍了过去的情况,符合语境。故选D。
37.B　根据空格后的“所以你不需要付额外的钱吃饭。”可知,空格处应指出不需要另外付饭钱的原因。B项“餐费包括在航游价格内。”符合语境。故选B。
38.A　根据空格后的“Cruise ships provide fun activities after supper.”可知,本段主要讲的是游轮提供各种娱乐活动,说明晚上不无聊,由此可推知,A项“晚上很少是无聊的。”符合语境,故选A。
39.F　本段介绍游轮上房间的情况。空格前介绍楼层高的房间大而且能看到美丽的风景,但是会更贵。事实上,游轮上有电梯和楼梯,方便游客从顶部欣赏景色。空格后讲的是,另外,你不会在房间里花太多时间。由此可推知,F项“你不必为了更好的景色而选择昂贵的房间。”承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
40.G　空格前指出,如果你害怕坐飞机,游轮旅行是一种很好的方式。游轮从佛罗里达、加利福尼亚、西雅图、纽约、密西西比河沿岸的港口和五大湖出发。G项“有了这些选择,你可以享受一个愉快的假期,且不需要坐飞机。”中的those choices指的是前一句的“…Florida, California, Seattle, New York, ports along the Mississippi River, and the Great Lakes.”,且G项对前面的情况继续进行说明,因此G项符合语境。故选G。

Is everything going well It’s three months since you returned to Britain. I miss you very much.

【思路点拨】 本文讲述汤姆在入学后被同学嘲笑,从而产生了厌学的想法,在好朋友杰克逊的帮助下,他在学习上取得了进步,对学习和校园生活重拾信心。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“杰克逊说:‘汤姆,别担心,我会教你识字的。’”可知,第一段可以描写杰克逊是如何帮助汤姆识字的。
②由第二段首句内容“两个月之后,汤姆带着灿烂的笑容从学校回来了。”可知,第二段可以描写汤姆在学校受到了表扬和对杰克逊的感谢。
2.续写线索:杰克逊教汤姆识字—汤姆被表扬—汤姆向杰克逊表示感谢—感悟
One possible version:
Jackson said, “Don’t worry, Tom. I will teach you to read.” “Can I be the same as you ” Tom asked with hope. “Sure, if you want to,” answered Jackson. Then the two made a reading plan together. During the day both of them went to school, while at night they spent at least two hours reading the alphabet book (while引导状语从句,表示前后对比;reading为现在分词作宾语补足语). With Jackson’s help, Tom began to understand what was written on the blackboard slowly (what引导宾语从句).
Two months later, Tom returned from school with a bright smile. He rushed into the house and couldn’t wait to tell Jackson the good news that he was praised by the teacher, who said he made great progress in a short time (that引导同位语从句;who引导定语从句). And all the class were astonished at his improvements. “Thank you. You do make a difference to me (强调谓语动词),” Tom said. Jackson told him, “No, it is you who you should say thanks to (强调句). Always remember, anyone can achieve his goals. Just don’t give up!”单元素养测评卷(一)

A
High school programmes in Australia
Beautiful weather, friendly people and a widely varied landscape are just a few of the reasons you should choose to spend time in Australia as a high school student. Here are some programmes you can choose from.
High School Exchange
Individuals studying for a semester or a full year in Australia will usually live with a host family. This is a great opportunity for students to see what daily family life is like in Australia. Students learning English will see their language skills improve from communicating with their new friends and family, while those familiar with the language already can use this opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day life in Australia.
Youth Travel Tours
Travel tours for teens are a wonderful way for high school students to spend a short, concentrated amount of time abroad. Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism. Students will have a fun, unique experience while incorporating educational components like environmental or cultural studies—and all without missing your normal coursework back home.
Summer Study Programme
For students who only have the few months of summer break available, an advanced summer programme is perfect. Just keep in mind, the summer of the northern hemisphere is actually the winter of Australia. Oftentimes these summer programmes can be partnered with universities that will allow students to receive college credits.
(　)21.What can High School Exchange offer
A.A good command of what we learn at school.
B.A better understanding of Australian culture.
C.A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D.A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
(　)22.Who may want to choose Youth Travel Tours
A.Those who are interested in painting.
B.Those who are interested in cooking.
C.Those who like doing adventure sports.
D.Those who want to take a part-time job.
(　)23.Which programme should you choose if you want to earn college credits
A.Summer Study Programme.
B.Youth Travel Tours.
C.High School Exchange.
D.All of the programmes.

Many years ago, Mike Huss attended Ione Elementary School as a student. He went on to work there—first as a janitor (看门人), then as a teacher, and now as a principal.
Huss said he never wanted to be an educator, but his seventh-grade teacher felt otherwise. “I remember Mrs Collier telling me, ‘You will be such a great teacher someday.’ And I laughed at her. It is not going to happen, but here I am,” he said.
Huss ended up starting as Ione Elementary School’s janitor 30 years ago. He then spent 19 years there as a teacher and now is starting his first year as the school principal.
“I was really looking forward to teaching fifth grade again, and they reached out to me and said, ‘We think you’re the leader the school needs.’”
Huss thinks his success comes from a push from his family. He wanted to show his young son, who was 3 years old when Huss went back to school for teaching, that you can do anything you put your mind to.
Huss’ co-worker Melanie Cortez was also once a student of the school. She said, “The kids aren’t used to seeing him in the office, so we have kids who come in all day long asking ‘Is Mr Huss busy We miss him so much!’”
For Huss, it’s about the opportunity to change a child’s life. “Believe in every child. I’m here to help them see themselves in a different light, because that’s what people have done for me my whole life,” he said. “I’m trying to help students believe that they can achieve great things if they just stay the course.”
(　)24.How did young Huss respond when his teacher encouraged him
A.He thanked the teacher for her kind words.
B.He could hardly believe what the teacher said.
C.He didn’t understand what the teacher meant.
D.He kept the teacher’s words in mind and worked hard.
(　)25.According to Huss, what pushed him to make progress in his career
A.The anxiety to support his family.
B.The hope to make the school better.

In our daily lives, we spend a lot more time typing on a keyboard than writing with pencil and pen, so does handwriting still offer anything useful
Researchers tasked 42 adult volunteers with learning the Arabic letters from beginning: some through writing it out on paper, some through typing it out on a keyboard, and some through watching and responding to video instructions. Those in the handwriting group not only learned the unfamiliar letters more quickly, but they were also better able to apply their new knowledge to other areas—by using the letters to make new words and to recognize words they hadn’t seen before, for example.
The real question is: Are there other benefits of handwriting that have to do with reading and spelling and understanding
While writing, typing, and visual learning were effective at teaching participants to recognize Arabic letters—learners made very few mistakes after six exercise sessions—on average, the writing group needed fewer sessions to get to a good standard.
Researchers then tested the groups to see how the learning could be generalized. In every follow-up test, using skills they hadn’t been trained on, the writing group performed the best: naming letters, writing letters, spelling words, and reading words.
While 42 people isn’t a huge sample size for a study of this type, the trends reported by the study indicate that pen and paper still have an important role to play in learning, even as digital formats (格式) have come to control our communication. And although adults were used in this particular experiment, the researchers say their findings should have relevance to children too. Several previous studies have also highlighted the advantages of copying as an aid to learning.
Today pupils in schools spend far less time than they used to on handwriting skills and practice for obvious reasons—but based on what this study shows, it wouldn’t be wise to put away the pens and pencils permanently. Because with writing, you’re getting a stronger representation in your mind that lets you support other types of tasks that don’t in any way involve handwriting.
(　)28.How did the researchers get the conclusion
A.By making a comparison.

Thousands of emperor penguins in Western Antarctica lost their chicks last year, largely due to gradually reducing sea ice, satellite data suggested.
While looking at satellite images in 2022, geographer Peter Fretwell noticed that ice in one area was melting (融化) especially early in the year. He and his colleagues wanted to measure the influence of this ice loss on emperor penguins in the Bellingshausen Sea off Western Antarctica. So the researchers looked at satellite images of groups to determine the future of the breeding (繁殖) season. There were 62 emperor penguin groups throughout Antarctica. Of the five groups observed, four probably lost all their chicks, the team reported on August 24.
Emperor penguins rely on stable (稳定的) sea ice throughout their breeding season. When an egg hatches (孵化), the newborn chick must fledge (长出飞羽), losing its soft feathers to gain its waterproof coat. But in 2022, sea ice broke up before some groups finished fledging. Without waterproof feathers, fledging birds were unable to survive, Fretwell says.
Some of those other groups have also experienced bad breeding seasons lately. On Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf, the world’s second-largest emperor penguin group at the time had three years of breeding failure from 2016 to 2018 after storms broke up sea ice there, Fretwell and a colleague previously reported.
The new study, recording breeding failure across several groups at once, is the first observation that agrees with the worst expectations of what could happen as the Earth continues to warm. Schmidt says,“I’m worried—it’s not a good sign.” Recent estimates predict (预测) that the changing climate and melting sea ice could cut emperor penguin populations by more than half by 2100.
Although the future of emperor penguins is worrying, Fretwell still has hope. “If we can slow down global warming…we can turn around the future of the emperor penguin,” he says. “But that window of opportunity is getting smaller, so we really have to act now.”
(　)32.What’s Peter Fretwell’s research aimed at
A.Figuring out why Antarctica’s ice is melting.
B.Knowing the effect of ice loss on emperor penguins.
C.Working out the number of emperor penguin groups.
D.Changing the emperor penguins’ future in the breeding season.
(　)33.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4
A.The birth rate of emperor penguins is very low.
B.The growth process of emperor penguins is tough.
C.The breaking up of sea ice leads to the breeding failure.
D.The groups all have experienced bad breeding seasons.
(　)34.What is special about the new study
A.It meets the worst expectations of what might happen.
B.It records breeding failure of several groups at once.
C.It predicts emperor penguin populations will decrease by half.
D.It calls on people to change the future of the emperor penguin.
(　)35.What is Fretwell’s attitude towards the future of emperor penguins
A.Unclear. B.Negative.
C.Doubtful. D.Positive.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Jackson’s family hired a driver. The driver’s family came to stay with them in a small house in their backyard. That’s how Jackson met the driver’s eight-year-old son, Tom. From the day he met Jackson, Tom became his fan. For Tom, 11-year-old Jackson seemed to be a big boy. He would always follow Jackson around.
Tom didn’t go to school. He was admitted to a local government school, but he refused to go. He told Jackson shyly that the teachers only made them copy words from the blackboard. Since he hadn’t learned how to read, he could not understand anything that was written on the blackboard. Jackson felt sorry for him. On Sunday, Jackson saw Tom sitting under a tree holding an alphabet (字母表) book in his hands. Jackson walked quietly towards him and discovered that Tom was holding the book upside down.
Jackson took the book out of Tom’s hands and turned the right side up. “This is how you should read,” he told Tom. Two big tears rolled down Tom’s cheeks. Tom told Jackson, “I want to be like you, but I can’t do anything.” That evening, Jackson told his parents they had to help Tom get into a better school. It was not easy to help Tom be admitted to a new school, because the time for admission was over.
Luckily, one principal (校长) looked at Tom kindly and admitted him to her school. The next day Tom went to his new school wearing a new shirt. But when Tom returned from school, he was a bit sad. The other children in his class had laughed at him. He told Jackson, “They all said I am much older than them but in the same class. I don’t want to go to school.”
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Jackson said, “Don’t worry, Tom. I will teach you to read.”


Paragraph 2:
Two months later, Tom returned from school with a bright smile.
