Win or Lose
Pete hated losing at anything. He said he didn't know how to lose, but the truth of it was that he couldn't stand losing. If he wanted to win, he would join in, especially for table football. You could hardly stop him from playing.
A new kid named Albert started at Pete's school. He was an (5) table football player, and it didn't take Pete and Albert long before they challenged each other to a game.

For several days, Pete (11) the new guy. Albert was great at some things, terrible at others, but he enjoyed everything equally.

A
Being Frank
Honesty is the best way. That’s Frank’s saying. Frank told the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth.
Frank never lied to his schoolmates. “Your freckles (雀斑) remind me of the Big Dipper,” Frank told Dottie. “Your singing is kind of shrieky (尖声刺耳的),” Frank told Carol. They stormed away.
Frank always told the truth to adults. “Your breath smells like onions,” he told his teacher, Ms. Zeller. She sent Frank to the headmaster’s office. “Your hair looks like my pet dog,” Frank told headmaster Wilkins. Mr. Wilkins called Frank’s mom. Frank told his mom on the way home. “And you’re speeding.”
No one was quite as impressed with Frank’s honesty as Frank was. Everyone was mad at him for being frank (坦率的). Frank was honestly unhappy.
“I’m not sure honesty is the best policy anymore,” Frank said to his grandpa, Ernest. “That used to happen to me, too,” Grandpa Ernest said. “I was once just like you—too much truth, too little kindness.”
Grandpa pulled out some strange hats. “Tell me the truth about these hats,” he said.
Frank didn’t hold back. “That one’s too big. That one’s too sparkly. That one looks like a squashed pumpkin.” Grandpa smiled. “Ouch. Truth can be spicy, like this jar of relish (开胃小菜).” He handed Frank the pickle relish. “Too much pepper, and it burns. But add a little sugar, and it tastes much nicer.” Frank thought hard. He realized the truth didn’t have to be rude. He could be honest and kind.
The next day at school, Frank tried his new lesson. To Dottie: “Your freckles are like stars—so pretty.” To Carol: “You sing with so much heart.” To Ms. Zeller: “You always explain things so clearly.” To Mr. Wilkins: “I like how neat your hair looks every day.”
Everyone smiled. Frank learned a great lesson: The truth is best served with more sugar and less pepper. Honesty matters, but so does being gentle with others’ feelings.
13.How did people feel about Frank’s way of speaking at first
A. Impressed. B. Mad. C. Nervous. D. Surprised.
14.What did grandpa do to help Frank out
A. He taught Frank a lesson with examples.
B. He asked Frank to look back on his words.
C. He shared his early experiences with Frank.
D. He invited Frank to try some hats and relish.
15.What did Frank learn in the end
A. Holding back honesty is important.
B. Honesty is always the best way.
C. Pleasing others means honesty.
D. Honesty and kindness matter.
B
A study by Hasselt University and Ghent University in Belgium has found that children who live close to green spaces, such as parks, community gardens, and tree-lined areas, may have higher IQs and better behavior compared to those with limited chances to access such environments.
The study, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, involved 620 children between the ages of 7 and 15, covering cities, suburbs and countryside. Researchers measured(测评) their IQs with a set of tests, focusing on memory, reasoning and problem-solving skills. Meanwhile, 442 of the children’s parents completed a survey to evaluate their children’s behavior, including attention spans, mood control and social skills.
Using the children’s home addresses, the researchers analyzed maps and satellite images to find out how much green space was within 3 kilometers of each child’s home, to make sure the data was accurate.
After adjusting (校正) the results for factors like the children’s sex, age, their parents’ wealth and education, and the economic status of their residential (住宅的) areas, the study found a clear link: children who lived closer to green spaces had higher IQs and fewer behavioral problems. A 3% increase in green space within 3 kilometers of a child’s home was connected with a 2.6-point increase in IQ, as well as fewer problems like poor attention and aggressive (富于攻击性的) behavior.
Notably, this link was only found in children living in cities; for those in suburbs and countryside, researchers found no connection between green spaces and intelligence or behavior. Additionally, the study examined the residential environment of the children’s mothers during pregnancy (孕期) and got similar results: mothers living in cities with more green space during pregnancy gave birth to children with higher intelligence.
The study noted that the exact reason why green space affects children’s intelligence is not clear, but suggested that reduced air and noise pollution, as well as more chances for outdoor physical activity and mental relaxation, may be important factors (因素). A 2015 study of children in Barcelona, Spain, also supported this, finding that more green spaces at home, school and on the way to school improved children’s attention and memory, likely due to lower levels of air pollution.
16.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why the study was designed. B. What results the study found.
C. How the study was carried out. D. Which areas the study covered.
17.According to the passage, what may affect city children’s IQs and behavior
A. The sex and age. B. The life experiences.
C. The family background. D. The living environment.
18.What can we learn from the passage
A. Air and noise pollution is likely to affect children’s intelligence.
B. There is a clear connection between green spaces and intelligence.
C. Children with limited chances to green spaces may develop slowly.
D. Pregnant women in more green places could have smarter children.

I used to feel like the only way to “improve” myself and work towards my goal was to change everything about my lifestyle all at once. Dropping every bad habit immediately and adding in all of the “good” ones I’ve read about online. This doesn’t work. All it does is to make me stuck.
I could spend years of my life reading about and preparing for these new habits that people say are great and can change my life, which I need to develop. But a sense of perfectionism will keep me from ever actually using them in a meaningful way. Plus, if I do actually start a completely new lifestyle routine, I’m very likely to lose the inspiration (积极性) to keep it up, pretty quickly.
Instead, I’ve found that it can be the smallest habits that can make the most meaningful change in how I feel and how my day-to-day life flows. The bigger changes, like going to the gym, a regular study routine, a new diet—all of these things are fine, but the tiny habits get looked over in their shadow. It’s easier to change one small thing at a time and stay motivated to keep up with it, which allows the positive benefits of that habit to grow over time before you give up on it.
One such habit for me has been making a daily protein smoothie (蛋白质奶昔). I used to love smoothies, but making a smoothie seemed like too much work. So I put it off. Eventually, I remembered how much of a nice sweet treat a smoothie is, and I got a tiny blender (搅拌机) online for about $20. Now, I’ve kept up the daily routine of having a smoothie. I blend up frozen fruit, yogurt, a vanilla protein powder. This smoothie isn’t a magical quick fix for all of the gaps I may have in my diet or for my mental health... but it’s an easy way for me to get extra protein.
Because I’ve found a smoothie recipe I really like, and an easy blender to use and clean, I’ve been able to stick with this habit. I’m feeling more motivated than ever to add some more tiny habits into my routine that will add up! You’d be surprised how many little things turn out to be even more helpful than those bigger, more obvious lifestyle changes.
19.What does the word “motivated” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Inspired. B. Satisfied. C. Surprised. D. Relaxed.
20.Why does the writer introduce an example in Paragraph 4
A. To stress the ways of adding in good small habits.
B. To argue about the misunderstanding of small habits.
C. To prove small habits are easy to keep and bring benefits.
D. To encourage people to start small habits from daily routine.
21.What can we learn from the passage
A. The bigger changes in life always benefit the writer a lot.
B. The idea of dropping bad habits works well on the writer.
C. It’s hard for the writer to stick to a totally new lifestyle routine.
D. Too much effort to reach the goal made the writer give up trying.
22.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Choices Lie in Small Habits B. Small Habits, Take Time
C. How Small Habits Work D. Small Habits, Big Wins

23.
If you look online, you can find a new kind of earbuds for less than $10 that offer real-time AI-powered translation of lots of languages. You just put in the earbuds, and they’ll translate what they hear into your chosen language.
That means if you’re trying to communicate with a police officer in Spain, a shop assistant in Malaysia or a new friend in Egypt, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying thanks to the earbuds.
Some of these earbuds even say their translations are 99% correct.
It sounds almost like magic, doesn’t it
Perhaps. But translating a language and learning a language are very different things, language experts remind us.
Writing in The Conversation, language professors Gabriel Guillen and Thor Sawin say that while translation earbuds may be useful for a moment, they can’t replace the benefits of language learning.
“The effort of learning a language communicates respect, trust and a willingness to see the world through someone else’s eyes,” they write.
And as people continue to move around the world more and more, learning languages allows us to make “deeper connections” with people from different cultures, they say.
Research has already suggested that using AI when we’re writing means we exercise our brains less and the same idea applies to translation earbuds. They give us answers, but we don’t have to work our minds to get them.
Guillen and Sawin agree that learning a language isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. In fact, they add, “the very qualities companies want in the AI age—resilience, lifelong learning, analytical and creative thinking, active listening —are all developed through language learning.”
So it’s easy to look at those cheap earbuds and think about all the things we could gain by using them. But we should also think: What might we lose by taking the easy route
(1) What can the new kind of earbuds do ____________________________________________________________________________
(2) What are the benefits of language learning ____________________________________________________________________________
(3) When you want to communicate with foreigners, would you like to use the earbuds Why or why not (Please give at least two reasons.)____________________________________________________________________________

28.【答案】例文
I did a survey on my classmates’ exercising between classes. The results show that 50% of the students often exercise between classes. 20% of them sometimes do exercise. Another 20% seldom exercise. However, 10% of the students never exercise during the break.
From the results, we can learn that half of the students don’t get enough exercise between classes. In my opinion, it is necessary for us to exercise during the break. First, we can go out of the classroom to breathe fresh air and relax our eyes. Second, doing some simple stretching is an effective way to keep healthy. Let’s take action and make good use of the break time!
29.【答案】例文
As we all know, good learning strategies play an important role in our study. For me, taking notes in class and doing regular review is a really useful learning strategy.
When teachers explain key knowledge, I write down difficult points and useful notes carefully. After school, I will review my notes every evening. Going over lessons helps me lock in knowledge that I easily forget.
This habit improves my grades little by little. It stops me from feeling stressed before exams. With this practical method, I pick up knowledge faster and turn into a more self-disciplined, better learner.
