Passage 1
(24-25 高一下·云南昆明·期中)
The Chinese animated (动画的) movie Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-earning animated movie of all time globally since Feb. 18. This shows how big and successful China’s movie
industry can be, according to China Daily.
Masses of amazing visuals and exciting experience are key reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. The movie has a huge challenge for any single studio. Instead of one company, 138 Chinese
animation studios and over 4,000 professionals worked together to create the film, including both well-known giants and smaller studios, Beijing Daily reported.
Red Whale Studios from Suzhou worked on a quarter of the production of Ne Zha 2,
making it the biggest company involved in making the movie. The beautiful scenes in the movie, like fish swimming in the waves, were created by 160 people who worked day and night for 26 months, according to the official WeChat account of the Suzhou government.
Director Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, explained that while international teams were initially considered for special effects, the results didn’t meet the standards. “Even top studios from
international teams may use less experienced employees,” he told CCTV. Instead, he decided to let domestic teams refine the effects, ensuring the project was in expert hands.
One standout example is the work with Fantawild Animation, a film company based in
Shenzhen. They were responsible for creating the attractive waterfall in the forest fight scene.
Waterfalls are massive in size and have complex and ever-changing flow patterns. To make the waterfall look realistic, the team used advanced physics simulation (模拟) techniques with 50 high-performance workstations to do the necessary processing. The team worked hard to ensure that the final effect was grand and consistent with the style of the waterfalls.
In the movie, Ne Zha says, “If there’s no path ahead, I will create one.” Also, 138 Chinese
animation companies have come together to shape the future of Chinese animation, showing the strength and creativity of the industry.

Some schools in the United States offer Chinese language classes with government support from China.
Saint Mary’s School is a private college preparatory school in Medford, Oregon.
Carly Irvine is in her fourth year of learning Mandarin (普通话).
CARLY IRVINE: “Since China and America are working so closely and our relationship is growing more and more, I think it will be very important in the future to know Chinese.”
Saint Mary’s also teaches Spanish, German and Latin. It added Mandarin in two thousand
five. Two years ago, it became the first school in the country to join the Confucius Classroom program.
The program pays about half the costs of a teacher sent to a school in the United States. China’s Education Ministry also provides books and other materials.
Saint Mary’s principal, Frank Phillips, says knowing Chinese will help students in a world where China is quickly gaining economic power.
Zheng Ling, a teacher at Saint Mary’s, came from China in two thousand eight.
ZHENG LING: “People do not know much about China, especially the latest development. So I think this is a chance for them to know more about China, what China is really like. It’s quite different from what it was twenty years ago.”

Passage 1
(24-25 高一下·云南昆明·期中)
When we think of holidays, we think of traveling, beaches, fun, and adventure. But the reality is, we spend most of our holidays on our personal devices (设备).
Smartphones have taken the world by storm, influencing the manner we interact with each other. While it may seem that sending a quick text message or uploading a photo to WeChat
doesn’t take so much time, these things eventually add up without us even knowing it. It was
discovered in a study conducted by travel site LastMinute.com that 90 percent of Britons spend more than four hours a day using their devices while they are on holiday.
If this is what you are experiencing, it sounds like you need a digital detox. Digital detox isn’t a new concept. Brown University defines it as a set period during which people avoid using electronic devices that have become a big part of daily life.
A new study published in May, 2022 revealed that people avoiding social media for one
week might result in obvious improvements in their well-being, depression, and anxiety. And
now, many tour operators around the world have been providing visitors with digital detox trips. For example, Sheldon Chalet, a resort (度假区) in Alaska, US, has gone tech-free in an attempt to provide its guests with a truly relaxing off-line vacation. Owner Marne Sheldon hopes that guests can “spend their nights looking at shooting stars and the aurora (极光), rather than scrolling
Instagram or watching the news”.
In today’s environment of constant digital connection, it’s important to find time to stop
and smell the roses—without taking a selfie at the same time. A digital detox may be just the thing you need to cleanse your mind body, and soul.
21 .Why does the author mention the study by LastMinute.com in paragraph 2?
A .To show how common device usage is during holidays.
B .To stress that smartphones improve holiday experiences.
C .To prove that Britons are the most frequent device users worldwide.

22 .According to Brown University what is a “digital detox”?
A .A medical treatment for smartphone addiction.
B .A strict rule against using social media for a year.

24 .What is the main idea of the text?
A .A resort for tech-free holidays. B .Digital detox for better vacations.
C .Reasons for limiting screen time. D .Ways to reduce smartphone addiction.
Passage 2
(24-25 高一下·陕西渭南·期中)
There is no such thing as a quick Web search. For example, you just want to look up one thing. But before you know it, you are likely to find more than 37 sites, and 45 minutes are likely to be wasted on what should be a 30-second exercise.
We used to waste our spare time in front of the TV. There is an old saying: No one can become successful sitting on the couch watching TV. The same is true of the Internet. And
endlessly surfing the Web isn’t going to get your goals done. Nor is it going to magically make you successful. So reduce your endless surfing. But what should you do?
If you really need to get work done without being disturbed, turn off the Internet. Use
“airplane mode” on your phone. If you need a better way to do that, there are software apps that will let you block certain websites for a certain amount of time. These apps can block news but still let you do your work, research, etc.
These days, information can be easily found through a click or Web search. But do you
really need to know the answer to every bit of trivia (琐事) that pops up in the course of your day? Try not to immediately look everything up on the Internet. One search could end up costing you
hours of time.
If you must search the Internet, set a time limit on your Web adventure. You’d better set an actual time. This can prevent you from staying online for too long. Leave the Internet immediately when you’re reminded to do that.
When you are surfing the Web, you may want to keep reading each linked (链接的) article.
A great way to stop this is to save “other” articles and read them later. Use an app to save those articles. This allows you to save important information while preventing you from endlessly
reading now.
25 .The author writes the first two paragraphs to .
A .compare televisions and computers B .show how to find information
C .lead into the topic of the passage D .show the function of TV
26 .What are the software apps mentioned in Paragraph 3 used for?
A .Blocking advertisements online. B .Saving some money for you.
C .Providing us with interesting news. D .Limiting our use on certain websites.
27 .What does the author suggest doing in Paragraph 5?
A .Staying away from the Internet. B .Not communicating with others online.
C .Not reading other linked articles online. D .Setting a time limit for Web search.
28 .In which column of a newspaper can you read the passage?
A .Art and Style. B .Science and Technology.
C .Nature and Geography. D .Sports and Health.
Passage 3
(24-25 学年高一下·湖南衡阳四中·期中)
With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his
mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen,
bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts
in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it’s a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”
And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”
It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband’s family when they get married.
29 .Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A .Nick. B .Rita. C .Kathryn D .The daughters.
30 .What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law?
A .Positive. B .Carefree. C .Tolerant. D .Unwilling.
31 .What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?
A .Family traditions. B .Financial reports. C .Published statistics. D .Public opinions.
32 .What is the text mainly about?
A .Lifestyles in different countries. B .Conflicts between generations.
C .A housing problem in Britain. D .A rising trend of living in the UK.
Passage 4
(24-25 高一下·广东深圳·期中)
Gratitude is a powerful tool for transforming negative attitudes and fostering a more
positive outlook on life. Rooted in the simple act of recognizing and appreciating the good in our lives, gratitude has profound psychological, emotional, and social benefits.
Gratitude can significantly improve mental health. When individuals focus on what they are thankful for, they tend to less dwell on negative thoughts and feelings. Studies have shown that
practicing gratitude can decrease symptoms of being depressed and anxious. This shift in focus
can help reframe one’s mindset, promoting a more positive outlook.
Emotionally, gratitude fosters a sense of well-being and contentment. By acknowledging the positive aspects of life, people can have less feelings of envy, resentment, and regret. This emotional shift can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction. Furthermore, gratitude helps
individuals build emotional strength, enabling them to better cope with stress and adversity.
On a social level, gratitude strengthens relationships. Expressing appreciation to others enhances social bonds and fosters a sense of community. When people feel valued and
acknowledged, they are more likely to reciprocate (回报), creating a positive cycle of kindness and support. This can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
Integrating gratitude into our life on a daily basis is relatively simple but requires
consistency (始终如一). Keeping a gratitude journal, where one writes down things they are
thankful for each day, is a practical way to cultivate this habit. Another effective practice is
expressing gratitude directly to others, whether through a heartfelt note, a verbal “thank you”, or a small act of kindness.
Most importantly, scan your thoughts. Do they showcase negativity or scarcity? If so, stop. Consider something for which you are grateful in that moment. That thought will begin a shift in your awareness. Do it again. By the third grateful thought, you will be likely to have many more that naturally follow. You have now shifted your thinking from negative to positive, and as you
stay in that flow, your mood will shift too. Gratitude is a simple yet powerful practice, which holds the potential to transform lives and cultivate a more positive, fulfilling existence.
33 .What does the underlined phrase “dwell on” in paragraph 2 mean?
A .Run into. B .Protest against. C .Reflect on. D .Settle for.
34 .What is the benefit of performing gratitude?
A .Curing psychological diseases. B .Increasing financial stability.
C .Avoiding stress and adversity. D .Strengthening personal interaction.
35 .What is a suggested method to carry out gratitude in daily life?
A .Noting down a thankfulness diary. B .Giving away delicate notes.
C .Writing down detailed thoughts. D .Focusing on small acts.
36 .What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A .People should stop considering things when feeling negative.
B .People should never switch to negative thinking flow.
C .The negative thoughts will naturally follow positive thoughts.
D .The practice of gratitude could generate satisfaction.

One of the biggest projects to handle plastic pollution in the UK began on 15 May. In the first Million Mile Beach Clean, around 50,000 volunteers armed with buckets and litter pickers cleaned up beaches across the UK. The volunteers hoped to remove rubbish and litter from
thousands of miles of the coastline and areas of the countryside in seven days.
The campaign wants to address the “crisis” of plastic waste in the ocean that affects sea
creatures and harms the environment. It is thought that at least eight million pieces of plastic are washed into the world’s oceans each day. These items can take hundreds of years to break down.
Surfers Against Sewage, an environmental charity based in Cornwall in England, organised the project. Hugo Tagholm, the head of the charity, said, “We are hoping the campaign will give people the opportunity to reconnect with nature and boost (提升) well-being, as well as having a positive impact on our oceans and wildlife.”
The clean-up not only focused on beaches but also on streets, country lanes, parks and local waterways.
There are nearly 600 registered clean-ups taking place and anyone can join in with them, or even start their own “mini clean” with fewer than 10 people. The campaign’s website
beachcleans.org.uk has a list of all the cleaning that is taking place around the country, including in parks, rivers and streets. It also explains how you can start one in your own community.
George, an 11-year-old volunteer from Bristol, told The Week Junior that he’s been helping to clean up his local river. “It makes me sad to see rubbish polluting the river, which is why I’m
looking forward to taking part in the clean,” he said. “I also like to compete with my sister to see who can pick up the most litter and fill the most bags!”
37 .What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A .White pollution takes hundreds of years to stop.
B .White pollution is very severe in the world.
C .Sea creatures have a good effect on plastic pollution.
D .Many sea creatures die of plastic pollution every year.
38 .What does “It” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?
A .The list of all the cleaning. B .The campaign.
C .The campaign’s website. D .The community.
39 .What’s George’s attitude towards to the clean-up campaign?
A .Unconcerned. B .Positive.
C .Disappointed. D .Negative.
40 .What’s the passage mainly about?
A .A meaningful campaign will take place.
B .Plastic pollution is worse and worse.
C .Volunteers deal with plastic waste.
D .The coastline clean-up is very necessary.
Passage 2
(24-25 高一下·新疆伊犁·期中)
Do you ever throw old things into the dustbin? Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that.
In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival
where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on
recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the
importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah.
What other things can we do for the environment? The government set a rule for gardening with native plants across the nation. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. In Portland, Oregon, many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for
bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner.
Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New
York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount. Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste
significantly.”
41 .What is the main purpose of the monthly recycling festival in California?
A .To provide jobs for local volunteers. B .To sell recycled products to residents.
C .To promote sorting of recyclables. D .To teach children how to use old materials.
42 .What is the main feature of the local plants in the gardening?
A .Adjusting to the local climate. B .Creating habitats for wildlife.
C .Growing faster than traditional lawns. D .Attracting bees and butterflies.
43 .How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups?
A .By providing more coffee. B .By giving a reduction.
C .By offering free drinks. D .By gifting a bag.
44 .What is the key factor in successfully promoting environmental actions?
A .Strict government regulations. B .Combination of education and participation.
C .Large-scale financial investments. D .Advanced technological innovations.

(24-25 高一下·广东汕头·期中)
Sally Rooney’s fans have all been speculating (猜测) about a television adaptation of her third book, Beautiful World, Where Are You. The expectations have grown after Normal People and Conversations with Friends were adapted into TV shows. However, Rooney has settled the
speculation once and for all, saying that this book will not be adapted anytime soon.
In interviews with the media, Rooney said she had not yet considered offers for TV
adaptations ofthe book, citing that it was “time to take a break from that” and let the novel be its own thing in literature. It goes along with her feelings about the world of TV, which she says isn’t one she feels like she’s meant to be in.
Sally Rooney has refused to adapt her third novel for the screen because of what occurred with her previous works. In a September 2024 interview, she explained that after the media
attention around Normal People, the discourse (讨论) and public interest in the project began to
overwhelm her. “It was a really big job,” Rooney said, reflecting on the adaptation process of her hit novel. Reminding everyone of the huge attention an adaptation can bring, she said that the
wide media coverage and audience reaction made her realize that her true home is in books. “Now I know that my books are where I belong, and that’s all I want to be doing,” she said.
While Beautiful World, Where Are You is not heading to TV anytime soon, Sally Rooney has not entirely ruled out the possibility of future adaptations. “I just feel it is time to take a break from TV,” she told Deadline in a September 2024 interview. These adaptations have arguably
shifted the direction of her career, but for now, the author seems fairly comfortable relying on her literary roots.
On September 24, 2024, Rooney published the novel Intermezzo. Whether this new book, or even Beautiful World, Where Are You, will eventually be adapted remains to be seen, but Sally Rooney is happy to let her writing speak for itself without the need for the silver screen.
45 .What do we know about Rooney’s response to the TV adaptation of her third book?
A .Her fans prefer the TV adaptation of her third book.
B .She has no plan to adapt her third book into TV plays yet.
C .She is confident in the status of her books in literature.
D .She doesn’t have good impressions ofthe TV world.
46 .What contributed to Rooney’s rejection to bringing her third book to the screen?
A .The unpleasant experiences in previous adaptations.
B .The public criticism and countless TV interviews.
C .The peace and comfort she could find only in books.
D .The pressure from adaptations and audience reaction.
47 .What can we infer from the passage?
A .Rooney’s fans still have a chance to see her third work on TV.
B .Rooney will never adapt her third book as she only relies on books.
C .Rooney won’t let adaptations change the direction of her career.
D .Rooney is too exhausted from adaptations and wants to have a rest.
48 .Which column of a website does this passage belong to?
A .Book Review. B .Celebrity. C .Literature. D .Weekly charts.

About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show
posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.
Kvle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage
with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological (按时间顺序的) feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel
destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.
Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our
preferences and behaviors.
Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention.
Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could
reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption.
In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more
regulation in our increasingly digital world.

Passage 3
(24-25 学年高一下·广东广州白云中学·期中)
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of
exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that
there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and
fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary
fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing
fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,”
she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
53 .What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A .It promoted the sales of artworks. B .It attracted a large number of visitors.
C .It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D .It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
54 .What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A .They are setting the fashion. B .They start many fashion campaigns.
C .They admire super models. D .They do business all over the world.
55 .What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?
A .learning from B .looking down on C .working with D .competing against
56 .What can be a suitable title for the text?
A .Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B .A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C .Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D .Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
Passage 4
(24-25 学年高一下·广东顺德德顺中学·期中)
It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English
meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the
obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that” To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much ofit.” Simply, the reason is that the
unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.
Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by
nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has
nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The interest is less in the phenomena
themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is
developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.
57 .The author mentions Dr. Johnson’s comment to show that .
A .most commentators agree with Dr. Johnson
B .Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C .the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D .English conversations usually start with the weather
58 .What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?
A .A social trend. B .An emotional state.
C .A historical concept. D .An unknown phenomenon.
59 .According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that .
A .Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B .there is nothing special about the English weather
C .the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D .English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
60 .What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?
A .To explain what English weather-speak is about.
B .To analyze misconceptions about the English weather.
C .To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.
D .To convince people that the English weather is changeable.

Passage 1
(24-25 高一下·江苏无锡·期中)
To early childhood educator Erika Christakis, schooling and learning are two different
things. According to one study she cites in her well-researched book, The Importance of Being
Little 25% of Los Angeles kindergarteners were allowed no time at all for free play. Three and four-year-olds can make discoveries for themselves if given the mental space to do so and freed from typical overplanned activities. But too often teachers themselves are managed by higher-ups (with too much attention to details), expected to hew to fixed lesson plans, and given little
flexibility. Some say they have little time to bond with their students.
“Kids are being too much talked at rather than listened to.” This “crushes (毁坏)” their curiosity. In America, reading, writing, and the cognitive (认知的) demands that have been
traditionally introduced in second or third grades have been pushed forward to preschools — to
3-year-olds “who lack the motor skills and attention span (持续时间) to be successful.” Christakis argues that forcing academic rigor (严格) at such an early age has led preschoolers to do worse,
not better.
She admires the philosophies of Waldorf and Steiner schools, which teach young children handiwork such as weaving or woodwork “as part of an imaginative and story-driven curriculum (课程).” They have nature outings for children aged three to six. They sleep in tents with only
their teachers and other children (no texting nor parents allowed everywhere near for days). They learn from nature and everyday experience, invent their own games, choose their own playmates, and settle their own conflicts. They learn to dress themselves, make meals, and help one another. At night they sing around a campfire.
Here at home, early education in Christakis’s telling seems to have been overtaken by
well-intentioned politicians who don’t understand the first thing about how children actually learn. Alphabets, slogans, and rhymes on the walls are too much for “young children when they can’t
even yet read.” Students need less “desk work” and vocabulary drills, she says, and more talking with and listening to adults who “invite the child to be reflective.”
61 .Which of the following best explains “hew to” underlined in paragraph 1?
A .Give up. B .Break up. C .Contribute to. D .Stick to.
62 .What is Erika Christakis’s opinion on American preschool education?
A .It focuses too much on traditional subjects.
B .It negatively affects children’s development.
C .It fails to teach children reading and writing skills.
D .It is disconnected from the reality of primary schools.
63 .What does paragraph 3 tell us about Waldorf and Steiner schools?
A .They disallow texting in the classrooms.
B .Their communication with parents is effective.
C .They advocate an outdoor learning environment.
D .Their courses rely heavily on teacher involvement.
64 .What do children actually need according to Erika Christakis?
A .Inspiring conversations.
B .Appropriate learning resources.
C .Repetitive reading exercises.
D .Quality family time.
65 .What is the main idea of this passage?
A .Early education should stress structured academic lessons.
B .Preschool policies are overly influenced by politicians.
C .Nature-based activities are key to child development.
D .Early education should stress play and exploration.
Passage 2
(24-25 高一下·陕西渭南·期中)
Nowadays, handwriting seems to become less necessary, for young children learn to tap
and touch screens before they have even learned to pick up a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Most of our written communication is done through texting on mobile phones or typing on a keyboard.
And voice recognition softwares are becoming more and more advanced — making even keyboards unnecessary!
So, are handwriting skills important to your child? Actually, handwriting is an exercise in
eye-hand coordination (协调), an important part of visual-motor (视觉运动) skills, which are
connected with achievements in study. Scientists found that developing fine visual-motor skills in early childhood can lead to not only writing success, but better performance in reading and math
in elementary school. It was also found that kids who fail to write neatly and efficiently are often accused of being lazy, and this may affect their behavior and self-worth. Moreover, a study
showed that when a group of children were asked to come up with ideas for an article, the ones
with better handwriting were more active and had quicker minds. In some ways, handwriting helps their brains’ development.
The first attempts at writing can be challenging for pre-school children — whose fine motor skills are not yet fully developed. But some skills to prepare for handwriting are simple to build at home and in preschool. Parents should provide lots of opportunities for kids to copy and draw
shapes and simple pictures in early childhood before letters are introduced. Let your child copy your shapes in sand, or with chalks on a board before trying to draw the shapes on their own.
Encourage your child to spend less time on electronic devices and more time on activities to
improve eye-hand coordination.
Let’s face it — technology is certain to continue developing and more research is needed to find the best ways to teach handwriting to young children. But, there’s plenty of evidence that the handwriting practice can provide young children with a good start in developing skills needed for a healthy and successful journey in school.
66 .According to Paragraph 1, handwriting is .
A .easy to learn on a touch screen B .used less frequently (频繁的) now
C .more difficult than typewriting D .totally replaced (取代) by softwares
67 .How does the author explain the benefits of handwriting?
A .By mentioning examples of the kids around him.
B .By providing data (数据) about pupils with good grades.
C .By giving some news reports on hand-writing.
D .By presenting some research findings (研究发现) .
68 .What does the author suggest parents do?
A .Keep young children away from electronic devices.
B .Teach pre-school children to write letters with chalks.
C .Help children get ready for handwriting before school.
D .Encourage children to face writing challenges bravely.
69 .What can be the best title for the text?
A .Does poor handwriting really mean being lazy?
B .How can handwriting affect children’s self-confidence?
C .Should homework be done through handwriting or typewriting?
D .Should handwriting be taken seriously in children’s growth?
Passage 3
(24-25 高一下·江苏南通·期中)
When planning my wedding. I was determined not to get caught up in the “perfect day”, but to have a relaxed, informal celebration. My husband and I ended up having a lovely time.
“Pursuit (追求) of perfection is a prison,” says Moya Sarner, an NHS psychotherapist (心理医生). Many of us are driven by the unconscious (下意识的) wish that if we could just have the
perfect body, the perfect job and the perfect family, then we would be happy. For that reason, it can get in the way to happiness in life.
The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote about the importance of the “good enough
mother” who meets her baby’s needs timely, but is not perfect. He said perfect is harmful. To meet every need immediately, whenever it is demanded, slows down a baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel disappointed and learn to get the toy for themselves.
Winnicott believed that while perfection is not a good thing, acceptance of imperfection is. If we cannot develop the ability to accept imperfection in ourselves and in those around us, we can have no self-confidence, no sustainable relationships and no fulfilling career. If we’re always
trying to build a perfect life, we aren’t really living the one we’re in.
How do I know all this? I am a perfectionist in recovery. I’ve started to recognize my
pursuit of perfection has influenced my relationship and my parenting. How can you be a good
partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations? How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them?
We need to go further than accepting imperfections. We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty. Imperfections are why people will pay a calligrapher to handwrite
invitations when a computer can produce a perfect version of the same invitation for less money and in less time. So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose
imperfectionism.
70 .How does the author introduce the topic?
A .By presenting a successful life. B .By showing her firm determination.
C .By describing her personal experience D .By introducing her perfect marriage.
71 .What can we learn from the example of the “good enough mother”?
A .Raising a child brings a mother much joy. B .Pursuing perfection is the duty of mothers.
C .Meeting babies’ demands is very challenging D .Quick responses are not good for babies’ growth.
72 .What is the function of the two questions at the end of Paragraph 5?
A .To attract interest. B .To lead to the topic.
C .To encourage thinking. D .To make assumptions.
73 .Which of the following might the author agree with?
A .Close enough is good enough. B .A miss is as good as a mile.
C .A wise head makes a close mouth. D .Actions speak louder than words.
Passage 4
(24-25 学年高一下·广东广州白云中学·期中)
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own
personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her
research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件
夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When
people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
74 .The passage begins with two questions to .
A .introduce the main topic B .show the author’s attitude
C .describe how to use the Internet D .explain how to store information
75 .What can we learn about the first experiment?
A .Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B .The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C .The first group did not try to remember the information.
D .The second group did not understand the information.
76 .In transactive memory, people .
A .keep the information in mind
B .change the quantity of information
C .organize information like a computer
D .remember how to find the information
77 .What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A .We are using memory differently.
B .We are becoming more intelligent.
C .We have poorer memories than before.
D .We need a better way to access information.

Passage 1
(24-25 高一下·河北衡水·期中)
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) has announced plans to take a limited amount of water from rivers that feed Mono Lake this year, a step that environmentalists say will help build on a recent rise in the lake’s level over the last year.
DWP said it plans to import 4,500 acre-feet of water from the Mono Basin’s current year runoff (径流), the same amount that was diverted (外调) the previous year, and enough to supply about 18,000 households for a year.
DWP officials detailed their expected water diversions from the region of the Eastern Sierra in an annual plan, which began in April. Environmentalists praised the decision by city officials as an important step. “It’s a historic decision in the history of Mono Lake,” said Mark Gold, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Environmentalists said it’s the first time in 30 years that city officials have announced plans to take less water than the maximum amount allowed under a 1994 ruling by the State Water
Resources Control Board. However, DWP said in the plan that it will review water conditions in
November, and at that point could still decide to import additional water if necessary, up to the limit of 16,000 acre-feet.
The city has been diverting water from the Mono Basin since 1941, transporting it south through the Los Angeles Aqueduct. For decades, diverting water from the area’s rivers led to a sharp drop in the lake.
Mono Lake houses endangered birds such as Wilson’s phalaropes, which feed on the
insects near the lake. “The decision by city officials opens the door to have that conversation about how we go forward in the years ahead and make sure we achieve the protection at Mono Lake,” Gold said.
78 .Why did DWP announce the plans about Mono Lake?
A .To supply water to more families.
B .To stop the rainwater flowing to it.
C .To reduce the loss caused by floods.
D .To make its water return to normal.
79 .What will DWP probably do this November?
A .Limit the water in the lake.
B .Revise its plan as needed.
C .Increase the price of water.
D .Put an end to a 1994 policy.
80 .What did Gold think of the water decision?
A .It will be applied to other fields.
B .It will threaten other native wildlife.
C .It is good for the local ecosystem.
D .It is protested by the city officials.
81 .In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?
A .Environment. B .Technology.
C .Education. D .History.
Passage 2

Big storms and tornadoes hit Oklahoma late at night on Sunday. They threw cars around
and uprooted trees and sent debris (碎片) flying through the air. Many people got hurt, and 11
needed to go to the hospital. Much of the damage was reported in the state capital of Oklahoma
City, near the state’s center, but it happened in other places too. The early morning storms set off tornado warnings that extended (延伸) south to the Arkansas state line. Rain caused floods, and
lightning started a house fire. More than 99,000 Oklahoma homes and stores lost power during the overnight storms.
Richard Thompson, the main weather forecaster in Oklahoma, thought six or more
tornadoes would hit the state overnight. He told people to get ready for more rain and severe weather on Monday.
“We’re not done yet,” he said. A warning for tornadoes was in place for central and
southeast Oklahoma until 8 pm on Sunday. Other places were warned about thunderstorms and floods.
In the town of Choctaw, east of Oklahoma City, firefighters and police checked houses to see if anyone was hurt. The town’s mayor, Chad Allcox, said a whole neighborhood was
destroyed with power lines down everywhere and lots of roads blocked, which made it hard to find and help people. As recovery efforts began, Oklahoma would face more challenges ahead with people coming together to rebuild and support those affected by the storms.
82 .What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A .How the storms formed. B .Types of natural disasters.
C.Measures to deal with storms. D .The damage caused by storms and tornadoes.
83 .What did Richard Thompson say about the weather in Oklahoma on Monday?
A .The tornadoes would stop. B .It would improve soon.
