Sometimes one plus one does equal three, as was the case when Dave McNee first met Claudia
Mandekic. Mandekic, then training to be a teacher, told McNee how hard it was to get students excited
about math. He made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports ”
This idea got its first shot in 2011. The pair, who had launched a tutoring nonprofit, were invited to
run a summer program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges School. When the students first
showed up, they weren’t exactly thrilled, Mandekic recalls. But she and McNee taught them shooting
techniques while also having them calculate their field-goal percentage.
The winning team was the group with the highest total percentage and most efficient math. “When the
bell rang, they were so focused on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t
leave,” Mandekic says. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The program, later named BallMatics, soon spread across Toronto schools. Almost any math problem,
McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. BallMatics has been hitting only net since its
founding. In 2019, the organization started a private high school called Uchenna Academy. It now serves
26 full-time students and provides financial assistance for those who need it. Kids with exceptional
basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the
BallMatics after-school programs.
The program’s value is clear: last year, three of the first graduates landed university scholarships for
their classroom performance, not on the court — though they also made the basketball teams.
Duane Douglas, now 20 and studying for an education degree, was one of them. He explains the secret
of the program’s success. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game. Coaches would bench
students who didn’t keep up in class. We were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”
24. What is the major function of the first paragraph
A. To highlight the difficulty of math teaching.
B. To question a popular belief about teaching.
C. To explain how a teaching team was formed.
D. To introduce the birth of a new teaching idea.
25. How did the students react when the first BallMatics session ended
A. They were too engaged to leave. B. They eagerly asked to play again.
C. They felt completely exhausted. D. They found the math problem too hard.
26. What does the phrase “hitting only net” in paragraph 4 suggest about the BallMatics program
A. It faced significant challenges.
B. It achieved continuous success.
C. It became financially profitable.
D. It focused only on basketball skills.
27. What key lesson can be drawn from the program of BallMatics
A. Interest can be a powerful drive for learning.
B. Discipline in sports can lead to academic success.
C. Sports can open another door to higher education.
D. Hands-on practice is an effective way to teach math.
C
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also
show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too
much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Br mmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new
book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our
streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighborhoods were destroyed to make way
for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a
Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the
destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane
Jacobs called on her mayor (市长 ) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush
through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were
completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing
rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the
highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really
recognize what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities The authors
of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
28. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
29. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
30. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s
A. They boosted the sales of cars.
B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support.
D. They advocated building new parks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why the Rush B. What’s Next
C. Where to Stay D. Who to Blame
D
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has
come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that
in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same.
Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged
together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to
make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of
crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become
correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon.
The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were
allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal
number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion
groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the
group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their
estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time, but it
wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and
reasoned together.” Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.
Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications
for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
32. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
33. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
34. What did the follow-up study focus on
A. The size of the groups. B. The dominant members.
C. The discussion process. D. The individual estimates.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local
economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and
destinations. 36 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s
world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and
improve our experience.
· Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so
many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only
when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 37
· Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else.
Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a
small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.
38 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
· 39 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.
You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost
the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a
destination special in the first place. 40 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the
people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

I used to think history was the most boring subject in high school. To me, it was nothing more than long
lists of dates, names, and exam points that felt far removed from real life. While teachers spoke passionately
about dynasties and ancient systems, I focused on memorizing just enough to pass tests. Once the exam was
over, everything faded from my mind.I believed history belonged to textbooks, not to students like me who
worried about rankings and future applications.
That attitude began to shift in my second year of senior high school, when China's visa-free policy led to
a noticeable increase in foreign tourists. Our school received a notice calling for student volunteers to guide
international visitors at major landmarks, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I applied mainly
because of my English skills and the chance to earn a volunteer certificate, not because I cared about history.
Before my first assignment, we were given training materials filled with historical background. As I
leafed through the pages, my old impatience returned. There were too many details, too many unfamiliar
terms. Still, I forced myself to prepare, telling myself it was just another task to complete.
On the morning of my first tour, I stood at the foot of the Great Wall with a group of visitors gathering
around me. Mist hung over the mountains, and the stone steps stretched upward beyond sight. As I began my
introduction, my voice sounded tense and my explanations felt forced. But as we climbed higher, questions
followed-about why the wall followed the ridges, who built it, and what it meant to the people who once
guarded it. Looking out over the endless mountains, I hesitated.For the first time, the answers were no
longer lines in the textbook. The stones beneath my feet felt solid and real. I realized that what I was
sharing was not just information, but a story.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. __________________________

Dear Alex,
I’m delighted to offer my sincere advice on your bookstore logo designs. After careful
consideration, I strongly recommend the second one featuring an open book emitting light
toward a globe.
This logo carries profound symbolic meanings. The open book represents the core of your
business — knowledge and learning, while the glowing rays symbolize the enlightening
power of reading. The globe further extends this idea, suggesting your bookstore aims to
connect readers worldwide and spread wisdom across borders. In contrast, the dove in the first
design, though peaceful, is less directly linked to the essence of a bookstore.
I believe this choice will better convey your brand’s vision and attract more book lovers.
Wish your bookstore a runaway success!
Yours,
Li Hua

I cleared my throat and began to tell the story behind the Great Wall. Instead of listing
dates, I described how the wall was built along the ridges to follow the land, which saved
effort and strengthened defense. Pointing to the stones under our feet, I explained that their
weight marked the efforts of ordinary people who guarded tis border centuries ago. As I spoke,
my voice steadied, and the visitors slowed their steps, listening attentively. It was then that I
felt a quiet shift inside me: I was no longer repeating facts, but sharing meaning
That evening, as I opened my history textbook at home, I realized it no longer felt the
same. I didn't rush to underline and memorize exam points; instead, I searched for the stories
behind each event and connected them with the places I had visited. Only when history
stepped out of the textbook and into real life did it become meaningful to me. Had I never
guided those visitors, I might still have treated history as questions on the exam paper. It was
history that helped me understand who we are and why it matters to tell our story well.

learning is her greatest contribution and has influenced educational policies in Europe, Asia, and
North America. What makes her research so powerful is its practical application. She turns brain
science into practical teaching methods that parents and educators can use every day. To spread these
methods globally, she founded the “Global Learning Through Play” initiative in 2015, a non-profit
platform that provides training and resources to educators worldwide. She’s written four books, led
numerous research projects, won some professional prizes, and she still teaches undergraduate
classes at the university because, as she says, “The best ideas come from conversations with curious
minds.” We’re fortunate to have her here to give a speech on the future of early education. Please
join me in warmly welcoming Dr. Emma Thompson.
