The other day I was doing some shopping and a homeless man who was untidy and spent most of the time talking to no one, walked toward a group of us at the checkout stand. I overheard him say to the man in front of me, “I don’t want to steal from this store... would you buy me some food ”
The man in front of me pretended not to hear him; it was as if he were not there. I waited patiently for my turn to be questioned, but it never came. So I asked him, “Can I buy you something to eat ” He gladly accepted. The man got a bag and began putting cupcakes in the bag. As my things were being rung up I watched the man put the cupcakes into the bag; 1, 2, 3... He finally stopped and I asked him how many he had got and he replied 6.
The cashier looked at me in surprise and then added them to my order. After I was through, the man was walking around the store; he said he wanted something to drink, too. The cashier seemed to be keeping a close eye on him. I admit I was too, as I didn’t want him to steal anything either! I told the cashier that if he got a drink I’d just pay for it.
In the end, we both ended up leaving the store, but he stood right outside holding the cupcakes and talking to himself. Or maybe he was talking with someone who he thought was there.
This man’s circumstances (处境) made me sad. How many of our homeless also suffer from a mental illness Maybe that’s even what led him to be homeless. I also thought about the watchful eye the cashier and I kept over him. Maybe for different reasons, I still hope to run into him again someday, and maybe we can sit down and have lunch together.

Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data-some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they have learned in the science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit-about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in a traditional class performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started off in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques(技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something, the more we retain it,” Hardiman says. “It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”
8. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To see if art might improve science learning
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
9. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Take two types of classes. B. Learn three units in total.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they’d like to learn.
10. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Finish. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Memorize.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.
D
A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity(逆境), even trauma(精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.
12. What is Lisa like now when she fails
A. She tries to cover it. B. She is positive and adult.
C. She acts unconcerned. D. She wants to make excuses.
13. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience
A. There is no sweet without sweat.
B. Experience is the father of wisdom.
C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger.
D. Responsibility is often more important than ability.
14. How does the author prove his view
A. By analyzing existing data.
B. By quoting a psychologist.
C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes.
D. By giving examples together with study results.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth
A. It usually comes at a high price.
B. It produces little negative feelings.
C. It is growth that does both good and harm.
D. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements.

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
Summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn't get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!”
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。
Berlin thought it was a good idea.

【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究表明艺术可以帮助学生更好地记忆科学课上学习的东西。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.(更重要的是，当他们的科学课涉及艺术时，学生们似乎更记得他们被教授的东西。为了证明这一点，Hardiman与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。)”可知，Mariale Hardiman做这项研究是为了证明艺术是否能够提高科学学习。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes. (通过这种方式，每个学生都有一个以艺术为重点的课程和一个传统的课程。每个单元都以两种方式教授给不同的学生群体。这使研究人员能够看到学生在这两种类型的课堂上的表现。)”可知，学生在实验中被要求上两种不同类型的课。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“What’s more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.(更重要的是，当他们的科学课涉及艺术时，学生们似乎更记得他们被教授的东西。为了证明这一点，Hardiman与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作。)”可知，这个研究是为了找到艺术和记忆科学知识之间的关系，所以研究的结论应与记忆有关，结合划线句上文“ Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. (课堂教师报告说，许多学生在完成本单元后继续唱他们学过的歌曲。)”可推断，此处表达的是“我们听某个事情越多，我们保留的也越多”。retain在这里与memorize(记忆)意思最接近。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they have learned in the science class.(现在，一项研究发现，艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。)”引出本文话题：艺术可以帮助学生更好地记忆科学课上学习的东西。最后一句“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.(这表明艺术可以帮助学生运用创造性的学习方法。)”总结前文，由此可推测出，C项“艺术让科学更容易记忆”最符合文章主旨。故选C。
D
A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity(逆境), even trauma(精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.
12. What is Lisa like now when she fails
A. She tries to cover it. B. She is positive and adult.
C. She acts unconcerned. D. She wants to make excuses.
13. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience
A. There is no sweet without sweat.
B. Experience is the father of wisdom.
C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger.
D. Responsibility is often more important than ability.
14. How does the author prove his view
A. By analyzing existing data.
B. By quoting a psychologist.
C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes.
D. By giving examples together with study results.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth
A. It usually comes at a high price.
B. It produces little negative feelings.
C. It is growth that does both good and harm.
D. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过女儿的例子并结合研究结论讲述了精神创伤会对我们造成一些负面影响，但也会产生一些积极的结果，让我们有更牢固的家庭关系，更加感激生活。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.(她开了个玩笑，对自己没有遇到更大的问题表示感谢，最终制订了如何改进的计划。)”可知，Lisa考试不及格后，她开了个玩笑，并庆幸自己没有遇到更糟的问题，还制订了改进计划，由此可推测出，现在Lisa面对失败，她心态乐观，做事成熟。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, most of us grow through adversity(逆境), even trauma(精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.(然而，我们大多数人都是在逆境甚至精神创伤中成长的。这种事去年屡次发生在Lisa身上。当她周围的一切都在一天天地变化时，她想办法找到自己的方位并装备自己。心理学家称之为创伤后成长。)”可知，Lisa经历精神创伤后开始成长，想办法武装自己，由此可推测出，作者通过Lisa的经历想要告诉我们，困境可能会让人变得更强。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一、二段中Lisa的经历并结合最后一段“However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.(然而，在一项研究中，研究人员调查了近385名在疫情期间经历经济困难的人。88%的受访者表示，他们也体验到一些积极的后果——他们现在有了更牢固的家庭关系，对生活有了更多的感激。)”可推测出，作者通过举例和研究结论来证明自己的观点。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.(精神创伤后的成长并不意味着我们能顺利渡过挑战。从某种程度上来说，这对每个人来说都是一段可怕而痛苦的时光。我们可能会经历难以置信、沮丧甚至否认。随着时间的推移，经历过精神创伤的人可能会出现头痛或其他身体症状、情绪起伏，甚至人际关系问题。创伤确实留下了无法抹去的痕迹。)”和最后一段“However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.(然而，在一项研究中，研究人员调查了近385名在疫情期间经历经济困难的人。88%的受访者表示，他们也经历了一些积极的结果——他们现在有了更牢固的家庭关系，对生活有了更多的感激。)”可推测出，精神创伤后的成长对我们有好处也有坏处。故选C。

【详解】考查固定短语和状语从句。句子陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时；表示“有些学生”应用some students；表示“避免与老师的眼神交流”应用avoid eye contact with the teacher；表示“只是”应用merely；表示“因为”应用because引导原因状语从句，表示“他们”应用they；表示“担心”应用短语be afraid of；表示“叫某人做某事”应用call on sb. to do sth.；表示“被老师叫起来回答问题”应用be called on by the teacher to answer questions，位于介词of后面，需用动名词being；故翻译为Some students avoid eye contact with the teacher merely because they are afraid of being called on by the teacher to answer questions.
57. 严格禁止考试作弊。(汉译英)
【答案】Cheating in exams is strictly prohibited.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词、时态和语态。表示“严格”应用副词strictly作状语，修饰动词“禁止”（prohibit）；表示“考试作弊”应用cheat in exams，应用动名词的形式在句中作主语。“禁止”和句子的主语为被动关系，且这里叙述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时的被动语态。故可翻译为：Cheating in exams is strictly prohibited.
58. 蒸汽机的发明给现代世界带来了巨大的变化。(汉译英)
【答案】Inventing steam engines has brought vast/great changes to the modern world.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、主谓一致和非谓语动词。“蒸汽机的发明”可表示为invent steam engines，这里应用动名词短语作主语；“给……带来……”可表示为bring...to...；“现代世界”可表示为the modern world；“巨大的变化”可表示为vast/great changes。根据句意，这里陈述过去事情对现在的影响，用现在完成时；且动名词作主语，所以谓语动词用单数。故翻译为：Inventing steam engines has brought vast/great changes to the modern world.
59. 无论你喜欢什么或喜欢哪一种，都有一个令人难以置信的主题公园会吸引你! (汉译英)
【答案】Whatever and whichever you like, there is an incredible theme park that will appeal to you.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、动词时态和定语从句。表示“无论什么”应用whatever；表示“无论哪一种”应用whichever；表示“你”应用you；表示“喜欢”应用like，陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为you，谓语动词用原形；表示“无论你喜欢什么或喜欢哪一种”应用whatever and whichever you like，其中whatever和whichever引导让步状语从句；表示“有”应用there be句型，使用一般现在时，主语为单数名词，be动词用is，表示“一个令人难以置信的主题公园”应用an incredible theme park；表示“吸引”应用appeal to，此处使用一般将来时；表示“吸引你的”应用that will appeal to you，that引导定语从句，修饰先行词park。故翻译成：Whatever and whichever you like, there is an incredible theme park that will appeal to you。

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
Summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn't get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!”

【答案】Berlin thought it was a good idea. When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandfather’s house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods. Jack said, “What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick ” Berlin thought for a moment and said, “I think we should choose a straight tree, so no knots will scratch grandpa’s hands.” Jack nodded his head in agreement. They found a straight tree and set to work. They cut the tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off. It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and was just of the right size. They thought grandpa would love it.
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. When grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with joy, thinking, “This is made by my grandsons themselves. How precious it is!” Jack said, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.” Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed. He held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand. He stood up with strength on his legs. Everyone was surprised and excited to see grandpa stand up. At that moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandfather’s eye.
