My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo(回响)forever.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.( 这是那本你可以经常的查看关于鸟类的野外指南。现在是你的了。反正我们也该给学校买新的了。只要你记住我不会因为你的过错而奖励你，你就不会受到惩罚；我是在奖励你的诚实。)”可推断，这个班很快就会得到一本关于鸟类的新书。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, but I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.(只要你记住我不是因为你的错误而奖励你，而是因为你的诚实而奖励你，你就不会受到惩罚。)”可知，男孩的老师教会他诚实会得到奖励。由此推知，诚实总是受到欣赏的。故选A。

Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources.
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
8. How can one’s attention and memory resources run out according to paragraph 1
A. If they keep thinking about how to solve a problem.
B. If they keep thinking about others’ good performance.
C. If they keep thinking about something bad might happen.
D. If they keep thinking about how to remember the materials.
9. What did the researchers do to carry out the study according to paragraph 3
A. They gave the students a medical examination.
B. They asked about their habits and hobbies.
C. They observed their performance in class.
D. They tested their theory on the students.
10. What did the researchers concentrate on
A. Text anxiety and grades. B. Learning and memory.
C. Process and results. D. Health and lifestyle.
11. Where can you most probably find the text
A. In a journal of geography. B. In a journal of literature.
C. In a journal of politics. D. In a journal of science.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了Beilock教授和另一位研究员Gerardo Ramirez发明了一种能帮助学生在考前缓解焦虑的方法——在考试前学生写下自己的担心。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources.(当我们担心时，它实际上会消耗注意力和记忆资源)”可知，如果人们一直担心不好的事情会发生，那么他们的注意力和记忆资源就会被消耗掉。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后的“Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(考试前，高度焦虑的考生会花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧)”和三段的“The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.(研究人员在一组20名焦虑的大学生身上测试了这个想法)”可知，研究人员在学生身上测试了他们的想法——写下他们对考试的担忧。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.(我们研究表明，对于那些考试高度焦虑的学生，以及那些接受了写下焦虑干预的学生，突然之间，考试焦虑和成绩之间没有任何关系。他们的表现和那些通常在这些测试中不紧张的同学一样好)”可知，研究关注的是考试焦虑和成绩。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(Beilock教授和另一位研究员Gerardo Ramirez已经开发出一种可能的解决方案。就在考试前，高度焦虑的考生会花10分钟写下他们对考试的担忧)”结合文章主要介绍一项研究表明，在考试前学生写下自己的感受有助于缓解他们的焦虑推知，最有可能科学杂志上读到本文。故选D。

Winning the silver medal at the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Nations League in Arlington, the United States, on Sunday, the Chinese women’s volleyball team enjoyed their best result in the tournament (联赛), with the key to the breakthrough being their unity and never-say-die spirit.
“I just feel that our team is more united than ever,” said Yuan Xinyue, Team China captain. “We support and help each other on the court. This is the most important reason behind our success. We don’t want to put pressure on individual athletes. All of us should stand out on the court and shoulder the responsibility of winning.”
She continued to say, “The two-month journey has ended, and it’s great to stand on the top of the hill. We have firm determination, and we will keep moving forward. We cherish the road that we have walked. We will summarize events, and we will keep tackling the problems. We will also try hard and hold onto our dreams and the belief that the Chinese women’s volleyball team can be the best.”
Team China was one step away from gold, but the Turkish women’s team showed greater momentum (势头) in the final beating China 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-19, 25-16). As the Chinese team only finished sixth at last year’s VNL, the second-place finish was a surprise to domestic fans.
Sunday’s final attracted huge media attention and generated a series of trending topics on social media. One example, the hashtag (标签) “Chinese women’s volleyball team vs Turkish team”, had been viewed more than 1 billion times on Weibo by Monday morning. While many engaged in heated discussion about the final, many more expressed congratulations on the fast rise of the young women’s team.
“Although the Chinese women’s team wasn’t able to stand on the highest podium (领奖台) at the Volleyball Nations League, they still produced the best possible result by fighting together. Hand in hand, Team China players march forward together,” read a commentary by China Sports Daily. “Team China was not among the favorites to reach the final of the VNL, but the team still managed to pocket a silver medal, which is huge progress compared to last year’s result. They proved all the doubters wrong, and they showed the world what a united team they are.”
12. Which can replace the underlined word “tackling” in paragraph 3
A. Checking out. B. Bringing about. C. Giving up. D. Dealing with.
13. What is the theme of paragraph 5
A. Large numbers of people were concerned with Team China.
B. Team China played very hard in the tournament.
C. Why Team China made so much progress.
D. How Team China lost the final.
14. How can we best describe Team China in terms of their performance in the tournament
A. Shy. B. United. C. Annoyed. D. Careless.
15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. Rising stars shine in silver medal success

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I grew up in a small town with its location in New Hampshire, and every morning, sometimes before I woke up, my dad left for work. I didn’t know much about all ___36___ my dad actually did all day. But one thing I did know about my dad’s day was that he often looked for books for me during his lunch break. He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag and said that the book belonged to me. When handed the “gift”, I immediately ___37___ (investigate) its cover, checked out the ___38___ (describe) on the back, and sometimes started reading right then. I made ___39___ most of my free time to read.
I was not always as appreciative of those books as I should have been, especially in my younger years. One time, Dad brought home a paperback (平装书) called Bunya the Witch. I looked at the cover quickly before announcing, “Ugh! It’s just another stupid farm book and it is likely ___40___ (be) boring,” and dropped it on the ground. It was obvious that I had behaved rudely. I was rightfully blamed for being an ungrateful kid, and I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover—Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites.
As I got older, my dad favored books that focused ___41___ strong and ___42___ (power) young female characters, like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs, Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt, and Homesick: My Oron Story by Jean Fritz.
It’s not just the books themselves that stay in my memory. It’s the girl reading them, and what she felt as she read. I think back to hours I spent in my childhood bedroom ___43___ (read) about young women who faced lives that were ___44___ (unusual) difficult. I learned from ____45____ (they) courage and drew inspiration from their bravery.
To this day, I love to read. I love the excitement of opening up a new book and getting lost in whatever story the author wants to tell me.

37. investigated
38. description
39. the 40. to be
41. on 42. powerful
43. reading

45. their
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是父亲在作者小时候经常带一本书作为礼物给她，使作者养成了热爱阅读的习惯。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我不太了解我爸爸整天都在做什么。分析句子结构可知，此处应为关系词引导的定语从句，在定语从句中缺少宾语，所以使用关系代词，先行词all指的是事且为不定代词，所以此处只能使用关系代词that。故填that。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：当我拿到“礼物”时候，我立刻就检查它的封面，查看背面的描述，有时马上就开始阅读。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，根据并列谓语checked out以及started可知，此处应用一般过去时，且investigate与句子主语I之间为主动关系。故填investigated。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：当我拿到“礼物”的时候，我立刻就检查它的封面，查看背面的描述，有时马上就开始阅读。分析句子结构可知，此处应用名词作宾语，describe的名词为description意为“描述”。故填description。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：我充分利用空闲时间读书。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语make the most of意为“充分利用”符合句意，所以此处应使用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：我迅速看了看封面，然后宣布：“啊！这只是另一本愚蠢的农场书，很可能很无聊。”然后把书扔在地上。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定用法be likely to do sth.意为“可能做某事”，所以此处应用动词不定式，结合句意可知，此处表示主动意义。故填to be。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：随着年龄的增长，我父亲更喜欢那些专注于坚强而有影响力的的年轻女性角色的书，比如科妮莉亚·梅格斯的《不可战胜的路易莎》、艾琳·亨特的《慢慢地走在路上》和让·弗里茨的《想家：我的奥伦故事》。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语focus on意为“专注于”符合句意。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：随着年龄的增长，我父亲更喜欢那些专注于坚强而有影响力的年轻女性角色的书，比如科妮莉亚·梅格斯的《不可战胜的路易莎》、艾琳·亨特的《慢慢地走在路上》和让·弗里茨的《想家：我的奥伦故事》。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词characters，且与strong为并列关系，power的形容词为powerful意为“有影响力的”。故填powerful。
【43题详解】
考查动名词。句意：我回想起儿时在卧室里读到的关于年轻女性面临异常艰难生活的故事。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语spend some time (in) doing sth.意为“花时间做某事”，该句中省去了介词in，所以此处应使用动名词形式，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填reading。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意： 我回想起儿时在卧室里读到的关于年轻女性面临异常艰难生活的故事。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰形容词，unusual的副词为unusually意为“不同寻常地”符合句意。故填unusually。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：我从他们的勇气中学习，从他们的勇敢中汲取灵感。分析句子结构可知，空后为名词courage，所以此处应使用形容词性的物主代词，they的形容词性物主代词为their意为“他们的”。故填their。

I’m Li Hua, in charge of the column “Professional Advice” in the school English newspaper. Impressed by your English teaching experience, I’m writing to invite you to an interview.
While the column was set up last year, it’s been gaining popularity among students. Distinguished teachers have been offering professional advice on learning English for it.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom’s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone. I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签)and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(撒)presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom’s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.
“Mom, I can’t…”
注意：1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother. I was stopped by my mother’s eager, joyful look. “Let’s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow dryer(吹风机). Though this might seem nothing but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was extremely surprised. In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom’s selfless behavior was impossible to understand. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas gift so that I could have one more present.
That Christmas is quite meaningful to me. I have always remembered that Christmas fondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life, I can now understand my mom’s actions. I see, actually, she was not “giving up her Christmas present” as I had thought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom’s simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom’s giving, I will choose to give in my life.

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚的)face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo(回响)forever.
4. How was the author’s teacher in general
A. She could get angry easily. B. She could become sad easily.
C. She was usually gentle and mild. D. She was usually strict and serious.
5. What did the author think when his teacher took down a book
A. She would introduce the book. B. She would hit him hard with it.
C. She would read an article from it. D. She would give it to him as a reward.

B. The teacher rewarded the author for his bravery.
C. The class would get a new book about birds soon.
D. The author felt proud when admitting his misdeed.
7. Which can summarize(总结)the text
A. Truthfulness is always appreciated. B. Action speaks louder than words.
C. Forgive others whenever you can. D. Kill two birds with one stone.

Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources.
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, and who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and grades. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.

Winning the silver medal at the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Nations League in Arlington, the United States, on Sunday, the Chinese women’s volleyball team enjoyed their best result in the tournament (联赛), with the key to the breakthrough being their unity and never-say-die spirit.
“I just feel that our team is more united than ever,” said Yuan Xinyue, Team China captain. “We support and help each other on the court. This is the most important reason behind our success. We don’t want to put pressure on individual athletes. All of us should stand out on the court and shoulder the responsibility of winning.”
She continued to say, “The two-month journey has ended, and it’s great to stand on the top of the hill. We have firm determination, and we will keep moving forward. We cherish the road that we have walked. We will summarize events, and we will keep tackling the problems. We will also try hard and hold onto our dreams and the belief that the Chinese women’s volleyball team can be the best.”
Team China was one step away from gold, but the Turkish women’s team showed greater momentum (势头) in the final beating China 3-1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-19, 25-16). As the Chinese team only finished sixth at last year’s VNL, the second-place finish was a surprise to domestic fans.
Sunday’s final attracted huge media attention and generated a series of trending topics on social media. One example, the hashtag (标签) “Chinese women’s volleyball team vs Turkish team”, had been viewed more than 1 billion times on Weibo by Monday morning. While many engaged in heated discussion about the final, many more expressed congratulations on the fast rise of the young women’s team.
“Although the Chinese women’s team wasn’t able to stand on the highest podium (领奖台) at the Volleyball Nations League, they still produced the best possible result by fighting together. Hand in hand, Team China players march forward together,” read a commentary by China Sports Daily. “Team China was not among the favorites to reach the final of the VNL, but the team still managed to pocket a silver medal, which is huge progress compared to last year’s result. They proved all the doubters wrong, and they showed the world what a united team they are.”
12 Which can replace the underlined word “tackling” in paragraph 3
A. Checking out. B. Bringing about. C. Giving up. D. Dealing with.
13. What is the theme of paragraph 5
A. Large numbers of people were concerned with Team China.
B. Team China played very hard in the tournament.
C. Why Team China made so much progress.
D. How Team China lost the final.
14 How can we best describe Team China in terms of their performance in the tournament

15. What can be the best title for the news report
A. Rising stars shine in silver medal success

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I grew up in a small town with its location in New Hampshire, and every morning, sometimes before I woke up, my dad left for work. I didn’t know much about all ___36___ my dad actually did all day. But one thing I did know about my dad’s day was that he often looked for books for me during his lunch break.

I made ___39___ most of my free time to read.

I looked at the cover quickly before announcing, “Ugh! It’s just another stupid farm book and it is likely ___40___ (be) boring,” and dropped it on the ground.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, immediately announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, as the oldest and my mom’s “grown-up” girl, I had to keep myself cool. I was in middle school after all. But when I got every chance and I was alone. I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签)and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(撒)presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In the past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking up a lot of space of the living room. I had heard the phrase, “Giving is better than receiving”, but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason why I couldn’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. Some of us made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed, we lost our self-control.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, puzzled. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it was not mine. It was my mom’s. A new tag had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.
“Mom, I can’t…”

“This is your present and it belongs to you,” said my mother.
