Tabichi’s father,uncle,and cousins have all worked as teachers. He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people’s lives and wanted to do the same. So for the past 12 years,Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.
However,working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy. The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students. The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access.The school also has no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers. Most of the students are not able to concentrate because they haven’t had enough meals at home.
One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible. So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school. When the 36-year-old gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out, he works to persuade families to put more value in education. To help those in poverty afford food,uniforms, and books, Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary. Despite all the obstacles he faces,Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village’s youth in school. He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.
Thanks to his tireless work, his students have excelled. In recent years,students have won national and international science competitions. In March of 2019,Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第二段内容，根据“However,working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy.（然而，在肯尼亚一所偏远的乡村学校工作并不容易。）”及“challenges and obstacles（挑战与障碍）”可知，本段主要讲的是Tabichi的学校所面临的困难，故选A。

Buildings with windows filled with water could save energy greatly, according to researchers backing the new technology.
Traditional glass windows increase the heat and temperature in the room in summers, and let the heat inside escape in winters, resulting in more electricity consumed for air-conditioners and more carbon emissions (排放). Now, researchers at Loughborough University (UK) have created a water-filled window that can overcome these problems.
The “water-filled glass” (WFG) system, designed by Dr. Matyas Gutai, involves a sheet of water being trapped between a panel (嵌板) of glass, and the water is practically invisible. The windows are connected to an indoor storage tank (箱) using pipes hidden in the walls, allowing water to flow easily between the windows and the tank.
This system allows the house to cool and reheat themselves automatically. When sunlight streams through the glass, the windows keep the buildings cool as the water takes in external and internal heat. This warm water then flows back to the tank. And when the outdoor temperature drops, the stored warm water is brought back to the walls to reheat the building using a monitoring system similar to central heating. The heated water can also be used for domestic (家用的) purposes. Although some electricity is required to pump the water back and forth, it uses much less energy than traditional air-conditioners or heaters.
Dr. Gutai claimed that WFG can save energy from 47% to 72% compared to when using traditional windows. Once launched into the market, the windows will surely make a real splash, appealing to a large crowd of environmentalists and contributing to reducing our carbon footprint. Currently, the inventor team is testing the windows in two areas with different weather conditions. The research reveals that WFG systems perform well in any inhabited climate—keeping buildings in hot climates cool and buildings in cool settings warm—without requiring an additional energy supply.
18. What’s the weakness of traditional glass windows
A. They are easy to break into. B. They release carbon dioxide.
C. They fail to trap the heat. D. They lead to more energy consumption.
19. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The structure of the WFG system.
B. The working process of the WFG system.
C. The advantages of water-filled windows.
D. The appearance of water-filled windows.
20. What’s the characteristic of the WFG system
A. It is operated by man.
B. It needs no electricity at all.
C. It recycles the water in many ways.
D. It reheats the house via central heating.
21. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Make a big fortune. B. Draw lots of attention.
C. Form a huge waterfall. D. Take immediate effect.
【答案】18. D 19. A 20. C 21. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种节约能源、调节室内温度的充水玻璃窗的结构、工作原理和前景。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“Traditional glass windows increase the heat and temperature in the room in summers, and let the heat inside escape in winters, resulting in more electricity consumed for air-conditioners and more carbon emissions. (传统的玻璃窗在夏季会增加室内的热量和温度，而在冬季会让室内的热量逸散，导致空调耗电量增加，碳排放量增加)”可知，传统玻璃窗的缺点是会导致更多的能源消耗。故选D。
【19题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段第一句话“The “water-filled glass” (WFG) system, designed by Dr. Matyas Gutai, involves a sheet of water being trapped between a panel (嵌板) of glass, and the water is practically invisible. The windows are connected to an indoor storage tank (箱) using pipes hidden in the walls, allowing water to flow easily between the windows and the tank.(由Matyas Gutai博士设计的“充水玻璃”（WFG）系统包括一片水被镶嵌在玻璃板之间，水实际上是看不见的。窗户通过隐藏在墙壁中的管道连接到室内储水箱，使水可以在窗户和水箱之间轻松流动”可知，该段主要介绍了这种新型WFG系统的结构。故选A。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容尤其是最后一句话“Although some electricity is required to pump the water back and forth, it uses much less energy than traditional air-conditioners or heaters.(尽管来回抽水需要一些电，但它比传统空调或加热器消耗的能量要少得多)”可知，这种新型注水玻璃窗全自动运行，需要少量的电力用于输送水，被阳光加热的水不仅可以在温度下降时重新加热房子，还可以有其他家庭用途。由此可推断，WFG系统的特点是可以用多种方式循环用水。故选C。
【21题详解】
短语猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的后半句话“appealing to a large crowd of environmentalists and contributing to reducing our carbon footprint(吸引大批环保人士，为减少我们的碳足迹做出贡献)”可知，这种新型窗户一旦上市，就会吸引大批环保人士的关注。所以换线的部分意为“吸引大量的注意”。故选B。
D
Ever fought with a problem Picked up a new skill Encountered a difficult concept The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps that’s because these phrases suggest something deeper. Researchers are detecting that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.
“In the past, people have argued that as we grow, we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地),” says Andrew Manches, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Conventional (传统的) thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity.
Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important, suggesting that even if only at the subconscious (潜意识的) level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.
Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. Meanwhile, Sunsan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively, if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.
22. How did people in the past understand learning
A. The older a student grows, the less likely he will think abstractly.
B. Teachers are advised to encourage students to use body gestures.
C. Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.
D The physical world never really leaves our thinking.
23. How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery
A. By presenting different researches.
B. By explaining some rules.
C. By making some predictions.
D. By analyzing the theory.
24. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study
A. People use gestures every time they convey the messages.
B. Body movements can increase a teacher’s popularity.
C. Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.
D. Body language is more powerful than spoken language.
25. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Language of Learning: A Vital Approach
B. Body Gestures: A Sharp Tool for Fast Learning
C. Body Language: A Universal Language Signal
D. Thinking Abstractly: A Symbol of Adult World
【答案】22. C 23. A 24. B 25. B
【解析】
【导语】这一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员发现，恰当地使用身体姿势能使学习更容易、更快、更持久。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“In the past, people have argued that as we grow, we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地) (过去，人们认为，随着我们的成长，我们越来越能够抽象地思考)”以及“Conventional (传统的) thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. (传统的这种想法可能表明，教师应该帮助防止孩子们使用身体姿势来为成人世界做准备)”可知，过去的人们认为学习应该去掉身体姿势，以促进成年人的思维。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. (此外，一些研究表明，如果老师在解释一个概念时使用手势，幼儿会获得更多。)”可知，作者让我们相信发现的真相是通过呈现不同的研究，故选A。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points. (凯利还发现证据表明，当老师用手臂和手的动作来强调重点时，他或她对学生更有吸引力。)”可知，我们可以从Spencer Kelly的研究中得知肢体动作可以提高教师的知名度，故选B。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段讲到“Researchers are detecting that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.(研究人员发现，如果涉及身体，学习更容易、更快、更持久。)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员发现，恰当地使用身体语言以及姿势能使学习更容易、更快、更持久。因此本文的主旨是：身体姿势：快速学习的利器，故选B。

【答案】One possible version:
The Importance of Oral English Learning
In my opinion, oral English learning is of great significance for high school students. Firstly, oral English skills are essential for effective communication. Without good oral English skills, we may find it difficult to express ourselves clearly and understand others in class discussions or social interactions. Secondly, oral English learning can enhance our confidence. We will feel more confident when facing English-speaking situations, such as job interviews or international exchanges.
To improve our oral English skills, I suggest the following methods. Firstly, we can participate in English corners or language exchange activities to have conversations with native speakers or other English learners, which will help us become more comfortable and fluent in speaking English. Secondly, we can improve our pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening skills by immersing ourselves in English language and culture.

Jane was waiting in the corridor outside her class. She had two exams that day and physics was the first. She really hated physics. Her friend Terry looked at her from the front of the line, and then looked away quickly.Terry is a straight A student. She didn’t have a problem with physics. She didn’t have a problem with anything… Miss Perfect!
The two girls hadn’t talked to each other for two weeks. “Hi, Jane, it’s your favorite exam today,” said Maya, laughing as she joined the line. Terry was looking at Jane again. “So what’s wrong with her ” asked Maya. “I thought you were friends.” “Yes, so did I,” said Jane. “Two weeks ago, she said she was busy going to the hospital to take care of somebody. I wanted to lend a hand, but she told me she could handle it herself. She promised to help me review for the physics exam , and guess what she did. She ignored all my calls and texts!” said Jane angrily. “Are you listening to me ” Mr. Richard was talking to the class and the other students were going into the exam room. Jane gave Maya a worried look and followed them.
Jane couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Jane couldn’t believe it! Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got such good grades She felt really angry at Terry, but she didn’t know what to do. She thought about telling the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Richard as he started to collect the exam papers.
Jane wanted to talk to Terry at lunch time, but she couldn’t find her anywhere. The next exam was history. That was Jane’s favorite subject but she wasn’t feeling good. She didn’t know what to do about Terry. “It wasn’t fair!” she thought. “Terry was getting good grades by cheating all the time.” thought Jane.

Paragraph 2:
Jane was walking towards the school gate, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Terry. “Jane, please wait,” said Terry. “I’m really sorry I didn’t answer your calls.

Tabichi’s father,uncle,and cousins have all worked as teachers. He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people’s lives and wanted to do the same. So for the past 12 years,Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.
Howeverworking at a remote village school in Kenya hasn’t been easy. The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students. The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access.The school also has no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers. Most of the students are not able to concentrate because they haven’t had enough meals at home.
One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible. So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school. When the 36-year-old gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out, he works to persuade families to put more value in education. To help those in poverty afford food,uniforms, and books, Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary. Despite all the obstacles he faces,Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village’s youth in school. He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.
Thanks to his tireless work, his students have excelled. In recent years,students have won national and international science competitions. In March of 2019,Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.
14. What inspired Tabichi to be a teacher
A. The high salary of teachers.

Buildings with windows filled with water could save energy greatly, according to researchers backing the new technology.
Traditional glass windows increase the heat and temperature in the room in summers, and let the heat inside escape in winters, resulting in more electricity consumed for air-conditioners and more carbon emissions (排放). Now, researchers at Loughborough University (UK) have created a water-filled window that can overcome these problems.
The “water-filled glass” (WFG) system, designed by Dr. Matyas Gutai, involves a sheet of water being trapped between a panel (嵌板) of glass, and the water is practically invisible. The windows are connected to an indoor storage tank (箱) using pipes hidden in the walls, allowing water to flow easily between the windows and the tank.
This system allows the house to cool and reheat themselves automatically. When sunlight streams through the glass, the windows keep the buildings cool as the water takes in external and internal heat. This warm water then flows back to the tank. And when the outdoor temperature drops, the stored warm water is brought back to the walls to reheat the building using a monitoring system similar to central heating. The heated water can also be used for domestic (家用的) purposes. Although some electricity is required to pump the water back and forth, it uses much less energy than traditional air-conditioners or heaters.
Dr. Gutai claimed that WFG can save energy from 47% to 72% compared to when using traditional windows. Once launched into the market, the windows will surely make a real splash, appealing to a large crowd of environmentalists and contributing to reducing our carbon footprint. Currently, the inventor team is testing the windows in two areas with different weather conditions. The research reveals that WFG systems perform well in any inhabited climate—keeping buildings in hot climates cool and buildings in cool settings warm—without requiring an additional energy supply.
18. What’s the weakness of traditional glass windows
A. They are easy to break into. B. They release carbon dioxide.
C. They fail to trap the heat. D. They lead to more energy consumption.
19. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The structure of the WFG system.
B. The working process of the WFG system.
C. The advantages of water-filled windows.
D. The appearance of water-filled windows.
20. What’s the characteristic of the WFG system
A. It is operated by man.
B. It needs no electricity at all.
C. It recycles the water in many ways.
D. It reheats the house via central heating.
21. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Make a big fortune. B. Draw lots of attention.
C. Form a huge waterfall. D. Take immediate effect.
D
Ever fought with a problem Picked up a new skill Encountered a difficult concept The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps that’s because these phrases suggest something deeper. Researchers are detecting that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.
“In the past, people have argued that as we grow, we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地),” says Andrew Manches, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Conventional (传统的) thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity.
Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important, suggesting that even if only at the subconscious (潜意识的) level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.
Also, some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept. Meanwhile, Sunsan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively, if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.
22. How did people in the past understand learning
A. The older a student grows, the less likely he will think abstractly.
B. Teachers are advised to encourage students to use body gestures.
C. Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.
D. The physical world never really leaves our thinking.
23. How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery
A. By presenting different researches.
B. By explaining some rules.
C. By making some predictions.
D. By analyzing the theory.
24. What can we learn from Spencer Kelly’s study
A. People use gestures every time they convey the messages.
B. Body movements can increase a teacher’s popularity.
C. Young students like to mirror their teacher’s gestures.
D. Body language is more powerful than spoken language.
25. What is the main idea of the text
A. The Language of Learning: A Vital Approach
B. Body Gestures: A Sharp Tool for Fast Learning
C. Body Language: A Universal Language Signal
D. Thinking Abstractly: A Symbol of Adult World
