The world’s oldest pen pals have both become 100 years old after many years of transatlantic letters and have now switched to Zoom. Centenarians (百岁老人) Geoff Banks from Honiton, Devon, and Celesta Byrne from the US, started writing to each other aged just 16 in 1938. They met as part of an educational project to put British and American students in contact — and decades later they are still corresponding.
Former engineer Geoff even kept in touch with Celesta during WWII when he served as a mechanic on British aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious in the Pacific. It has been so long that Geoff, a retired engineer, barely remembers how they started talking. Geoff said, “I honestly struggle to remember how we got in touch, and I think it was something to do with an American school’s scheme. It matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with a letter from an American girl, and we have just kept corresponding ever since. There were a couple of years when we struggled to keep in touch because of the war. Now I correspond mainly by email. Email is much easier for me these days because I can’t write very well anymore. We just talk about daily lives and our families really, but we don’t discuss the football.”
They now touch base via video app Zoom. Geoff said, “I have this new thing called Zoom to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons.”
Despite having chatted for decades, the pair only met twice — first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York aged 80, and then again two years later. Having such a unique relationship, the pair deny there is any romance there. Celesta said, “We’re just friends, like people who live next door. It’s nice to hear his voice.”
4. What played a key role in the pen pals’ contact
A. A school program. B. An educational email.
C. A pen pal’s introduction. D. A correspondence course.
5. What did the pair mainly talk about in their letters
A. Their favourite sports. B. Their everyday life.
C. Their family traditions. D. Their experiences in the war.
6. Which is closest in meaning to “touch base” in paragraph 3
A. Lay foundation. B. Take a chance C. Stay in contact. D. Make a difference.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Effects of War on Friendship B. True Friendship Lasts Forever
C Pure Friendship Differs from Love D. The Communication Problems of Old People
C
While some critics claim that history curricula (课程) teach unnecessary content, others argue that these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow.
The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. Rather, understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component. This process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the telling of history.
Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author’s credibility and potential bias (偏见). Students are then able to contextualize the information they learn and can think more critically about historical con text and those who tell it.
With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature, values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize recurrent themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches students to develop a healthy skepticism (怀疑论) when presented with information today because our actions are history in the making.
Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what’s behind us.
Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from our predecessors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that tomorrow’s students will be proud to learn about.
8. What is the biggest academic significance of history learning
A. Passing down Chinese culture. B. Grasping historical inquiry skills.
C. Making people more knowledgeable. D. Enriching people’s everyday life.
9. What does the underlined word “critique” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Protect. B. Combine. C. Comment. D. Remember.
10 Why is James Fitzgerald mentioned in the passage
A. To stress the importance of history.
B. To point out the essence of education.
C. To indicate famous people learn from history.
D. To show history contributes to people’s achievements.
11. What can be the best title for the passage
A. It Is the People that Create History
B. History Pushes the Wheel of the Times
C. History Curricula Are Gaining More Attention
D. History Curricula Shape Tomorrow’s Decision Makers
D
Elephants eat plants. That’s common knowledge to biologists and animal-loving, schoolchildren alike. Yet figuring out exactly what kind of plants they eat is more complicated.
A new study from a global team that included Brown University conservation biologists used innovative methods to efficiently and precisely analyze the dietary habits of elephants in Kenya. Their findings on the habits of individual elephants help answer important questions about group food searching behaviors, and aid biologists in understanding the conservation approaches that best keep elephants not only sated (饱的) but satisfied.
“When I talk to non-ecologists, they are surprised to learn that we have never really had a clear picture of what all of these large animals actually eat in nature,” Kartzinel, an expert botanist who has conducted field research in Kenya, said. “The reason is that these animals are difficult and dangerous to observe from up-close, they move long distances, they feed at night and in thick bush and a lot of the plants they feed on are quite small.”
Then the team compared the diets of individual elephants through time. In their analysis, they showed that dietary differences among individuals were often far greater than what had been previously assumed, even among family members that ate together on a given day.
This study helps address a classic paradox (悖论) in wildlife ecology. Kartzinel said: “How do social bonds hold family groups together in a world of limited resources ” In other words, given that elephants all seemingly eat the same plants, it's not obvious why competition for food doesn't push them apart and force them to search for food independently.
“The simple answer is that elephants vary their diets based not only on what’s available but also their preferences and physiological needs,” said Kartzinel. These findings help inform theories of why a group of elephants may search for food together: The individual elephants don't always eat exactly the same plants at the same time, so there will usually be enough plants to go around.
These findings may offer valuable insights for conservation biologists. To protect elephants and create environments in which they can successfully grow their populations, they need a variety of plants to eat.
12. What did the new study focus on
A. The results of conservation approaches. B. The eating habits of elephants.
C. Ways to protect elephants from starving. D. Elephants’ social behavior and needs.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Elephants are hard to monitor. B. Elephants only live in thick bush.
C. Elephants are kind and friendly animals. D. Elephants seldom eat with humans around.
14. What message can conservation biologists get from the study
A. It is necessary for elephants to live together.
B. It is possible to observe elephants up-close.
C. It is social bonds that hold elephants together.
D. It is important to protect the variety of plants.
15. Which word can be used to describe the study
A. Inaccurate. B. Shocking. C. Beneficial. D. Subjective.

We just talk about daily lives and our families really, but we don’t discuss the football.”
They now touch base via video app Zoom. Geoff said, “I have this new thing called Zoom to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. They’re much better at pressing all the buttons.”
Despite having chatted for decades, the pair only met twice — first in 2002 while Geoff visited New York aged 80, and then again two years later. Having such a unique relationship, the pair deny there is any romance there. Celesta said, “We’re just friends, like people who live next door. It’s nice to hear his voice.”

While some critics claim that history curricula (课程) teach unnecessary content, others argue that these curricula need to be more comprehensive. Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow.
The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. Rather, understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component. This process teaches students how to become critical thinkers and understand the dynamic nature of the telling of history.
Through strong history curricula, students are shown both a variety of primary and secondary sources and are taught to critique them. This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author’s credibility and potential bias (偏见). Students are then able to contextualize the information they learn and can think more critically about historical con text and those who tell it.
With this framework, students can then understand the causal relationship between human nature, values, philosophy, actions, and their consequences. It teaches students to recognize recurrent themes and lessons that are necessary to understand modern society. Most importantly, it teaches students to develop a healthy skepticism (怀疑论) when presented with information today because our actions are history in the making.
Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what’s behind us.
Today, this principle still holds true. Students take both the factual knowledge and the historical inquiry skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real world circumstances. Throughout their lives, students who are taught with strong history curricula will take the lessons they learn from our predecessors and become involved, active, productive citizens who want to create a history that tomorrow’s students will be proud to learn about.
8. What is the biggest academic significance of history learning
A. Passing down Chinese culture. B. Grasping historical inquiry skills.
C. Making people more knowledgeable. D. Enriching people’s everyday life.
9. What does the underlined word “critique” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Protect. B. Combine. C. Comment. D. Remember.
10. Why is James Fitzgerald mentioned in the passage
A. To stress the importance of history.
B. To point out the essence of education.
C. To indicate famous people learn from history.
D. To show history contributes to people’s achievements.
11. What can be the best title for the passage
A. It Is the People that Create History
B. History Pushes the Wheel of the Times
C. History Curricula Are Gaining More Attention
D. History Curricula Shape Tomorrow’s Decision Makers
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了学习历史学科对人们的重要意义，认为学习历史能够让学生们成为积极主动富有成效的公民。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The greatest academic value that history curricula provide is not the recall of important dates and names. Rather, understanding the historical inquiry process is the most important component.(历史课程提供的最大学术价值不是回忆重要的日期和名字。相反，了解历史调查过程是最重要的组成部分)”可知，作者认为学习历史的最大的意义在于了解历史探究过程。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后的“This is where the historical inquiry process begins. Students not only begin to analyze and ask questions about the content, but they also learn about the author's credibility and potential bias (偏见). Students are then able to contextualize the information they learn and can think more critically about historical con text and those who tell it.(这就是历史调查过程开始的地方。学生们不仅要开始分析文章内容并提出问题，还要了解作者的可信度和潜在偏见。这样，学生们就能够将他们所学到的信息语境化，并能更批判性地思考历史背景和那些讲述历史的人)”可知，此处介绍如何对一些资料进行历史探究，了解作者的可信度、偏见以便能更批判性地思考历史背景和那些讲述历史的人。由此推知，划线词critique与comment“评论”意思一致。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Forty years ago, renowned scholar James Fitzgerald argued that no education is complete without the teaching of historical inquiry. He believed that the only way to move forward in life is to understand what's behind us.(40年前，著名学者詹姆斯·菲茨杰拉德认为，没有历史探究的教育是不完整的。他认为，在生活中前进的唯一途径是了解我们身后的事情)”可推知，文章中提到了詹姆斯·菲茨杰拉德，以强调历史的重要性。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Despite ongoing debates about content, one universal truth remains: strong history curricula are necessary for developing the productive citizens of tomorrow.(尽管关于内容的争论仍在继续，但一个普遍的真理仍然存在：强有力的历史课程对于培养未来有生产力的公民是必要的)”及下文论述可知。文章主要分析了学习历史学科对人们的重要意义，认为学习历史能够让学生们成为积极主动富有成效的公民。由此可知，D. History Curricula Shape Tomorrow’s Decision Makers(历史课程塑造未来的决策者)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D

Elephants eat plants. That’s common knowledge to biologists and animal-loving, schoolchildren alike. Yet figuring out exactly what kind of plants they eat is more complicated.
A new study from a global team that included Brown University conservation biologists used innovative methods to efficiently and precisely analyze the dietary habits of elephants in Kenya. Their findings on the habits of individual elephants help answer important questions about group food searching behaviors, and aid biologists in understanding the conservation approaches that best keep elephants not only sated (饱的) but satisfied.
“When I talk to non-ecologists, they are surprised to learn that we have never really had a clear picture of what all of these large animals actually eat in nature,” Kartzinel, an expert botanist who has conducted field research in Kenya, said. “The reason is that these animals are difficult and dangerous to observe from up-close, they move long distances, they feed at night and in thick bush and a lot of the plants they feed on are quite small.”
Then the team compared the diets of individual elephants through time. In their analysis, they showed that dietary differences among individuals were often far greater than what had been previously assumed, even among family members that ate together on a given day.
This study helps address a classic paradox (悖论) in wildlife ecology. Kartzinel said: “How do social bonds hold family groups together in a world of limited resources ” In other words, given that elephants all seemingly eat the same plants, it's not obvious why competition for food doesn't push them apart and force them to search for food independently.
“The simple answer is that elephants vary their diets based not only on what’s available but also their preferences and physiological needs,” said Kartzinel. These findings help inform theories of why a group of elephants may search for food together: The individual elephants don't always eat exactly the same plants at the same time, so there will usually be enough plants to go around.
These findings may offer valuable insights for conservation biologists. To protect elephants and create environments in which they can successfully grow their populations, they need a variety of plants to eat.
12. What did the new study focus on
A. The results of conservation approaches. B. The eating habits of elephants.
C. Ways to protect elephants from starving. D. Elephants’ social behavior and needs.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Elephants are hard to monitor. B. Elephants only live in thick bush.
C. Elephants are kind and friendly animals. D. Elephants seldom eat with humans around.
14. What message can conservation biologists get from the study
A. It is necessary for elephants to live together.
B. It is possible to observe elephants up-close.
C. It is social bonds that hold elephants together.
D. It is important to protect the variety of plants.
15. Which word can be used to describe the study
A. Inaccurate. B. Shocking. C. Beneficial. D. Subjective.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““The simple answer is that elephants vary their diets based not only on what’s available but also their preferences and physiological needs,” said Kartzinel.(“简单的答案是，大象不仅根据可用的食物，而且根据它们的偏好和生理需求来改变它们的饮食，”Kartzinel说)”及最后一段“These findings may offer valuable insights for conservation biologists. To protect elephants and create environments in which they can successfully grow their populations, they need a variety of plants to eat. (这些发现可能为保护生物学家提供有价值的见解。为了保护大象，并为它们创造能够成功繁殖的环境，它们需要各种各样的植物来吃)”可推知，保护生物学家从中得到的一个信息就是“保护植物的多样性是重要的”。故选D。

Knowing How and When to Say Sorry Can Build Better Friendship
Have you ever argued with a friend and said or done something you regretted ___16___. Knowing how to apologize can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
Why do we argue
We argue for all kinds of reasons. For example, you might think your football team is fantastic, but your friend disagrees, or you don’t want someone to join in your game. Sometimes, especially if you are angry, things can become out of control, and you’ll say or do something you regret. ___17___. But it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.
What does saying sorry mean
We all make mistakes, and apologizing is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. ___18___ . An apology needs to show the other person that you are genuinely sorry, you accept responsibility for your actions, and that you want their forgiveness.
___19___
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it has nothing to do with you. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Does apologizing always work
A genuine apology is a magic word. It may take time for someone to understand and forgive. ___20___. But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
A. What if it’s not my fault
B. How should we apologize to others
C. Try it again if you fail to get others’ forgiveness
D. Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad
E. Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal
F. It may be hard to say sorry, but if you want to make something better you must try
G. Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt
【答案】16 G 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。你和朋友发生过争吵吗？争吵过后你如何修复你们之间的关系呢？文章主要介绍了你应该知道的一些关于争吵和道歉的事情。
【16题详解】
根据前句“Have you ever argued with a friend and said or done something you regretted (你是否曾经和朋友争吵过，说过或做过让你后悔的事情 )”和后句“Knowing how to apologize can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.(懂得道歉可以帮助你们重新成为朋友，也能让你们明白当初为什么会闹翻。)”可知，此处为承上启下句，与朋友吵过架之后，感情肯定受到伤害。选择项G“Sometimes it can be hard to put things right, especially when feelings have been hurt(有时候很难把事情摆正，尤其是当感情受到伤害的时候)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后句“But it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. (但重要的是事后解决你们的分歧，这样糟糕的感觉就不会变得更糟。)”可知，前后为转折关系，偶尔争吵是正常的，但要及时解决分歧。选择项E“Arguing and disagreeing with others occasionally is normal (偶尔与他人争吵或有分歧是正常的)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后句“An apology needs to show the other person that you are genuinely sorry, you accept responsibility for your actions, and that you want their forgiveness. (道歉需要向对方表明你真的很抱歉，你愿意为自己的行为承担责任，你希望他们原谅你。)”可知，道歉很难，但有利于解决问题。选择项F“It may be hard to say sorry, but if you want to make something better you must try (说对不起可能很难，但如果你想做得更好，你必须尝试)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
这里为本段小标题。根据下文“Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it has nothing to do with you. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or leacher to help you resolve the problem. (有时，另一个人可能会迫使你承担责任，但这与你无关。如果你觉得这种情况正在发生，试着谈谈你们当初为什么争吵，并解释它让你有什么感觉。如果你仍然不能同意，你可以让父母或老师帮你解决问题。)”可知，本段介绍不是自己过错的解决方法。选择项A“What if it’s not my fault (如果不是我的错呢)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前句“It may take time for someone to understand and forgive. (一个人理解和原谅可能需要时间。)”和后句“But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do belter next time. (但是你可以在尝试解决问题并承诺自己下次做得更好的过程中感觉良好。)”可知，此处为承上启下句，感觉很糟的原因是不能获得理解与原谅。选择项D“Even after you’ve said sorry, you could still feel bad (即使你说了对不起，你仍然会感觉很糟糕)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

I bought a book about motivation the few weeks ago. My mother asked me that I would like to share it with others when she finished reading the book. Of course, I was willingly to give it to those who wanted it. It occurs to me that I should send it to my friend, Pam. She supported me through my learning journey but I valued her friendship greatly. Fortunately, she was being admitted into a key university last year. I told her pass it on to someone else if it wasn’t fit to her. I hoped that it would be reading instead of sitting on my bookshelf.
