一、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A
阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
The train left Beijing Railway Station, ___1___ (make) its way to Hainan Island. I was 20 years old, but it was the first time that I had traveled so far. I ___2___ (long) for the adventure before I set out on it. Like many other college students, I wanted to make use of a summer vacation to see life away ___3___ my home and parents. It was a good beginning, and no matter what happened, I was determined to prove my ability to survive.
【答案】1. making
2. had longed
3. from
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者独自乘火车出游，想要看看家之外的生活，并证明自己有独自生存的能力。
【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：火车离开北京火车站，驶向海南岛。分析句子结构，left是本句的谓语，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语The train和make之间是主谓关系，且这里表示伴随，所以应用现在分词，作状语。故填making。
【2题详解】
考查时态。句意：在我踏上冒险行程之前，我就已经渴望过这次冒险了。根据句中的时间状语从句“before I set out on it”可知，long表示的动作发生在set之前，表示过去的过去，应用过去完成时。故填had longed。
【3题详解】
考查介词。句意：和许多其他大学生一样，我想利用暑假去看看远离家乡和父母的生活。固定搭配：away from...意为“远离……”。故填from。
B
阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
Paper money, much more convenient than metal coins, ___4___ (be) a Chinese invention. It first appeared in China more than 1,000 years ago. The wooden printing blocks still exist for a type called jiao zi, believed to be the earliest kind, but not the paper money itself. The world’s oldest paper notes ___5___ (print) between 1260 and 1269 and used so ___6___ (wide) that even today such notes are still found in many parts of China.
【答案】4. is 5. were printed
6. widely
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纸币发明和使用的历史。
【4题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：纸币是中国人的发明，比金属硬币方便得多。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为paper money，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
【5题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：世界上最古老的纸币印刷于1260年至1269年之间，使用非常广泛，直到今天，在中国的许多地方仍然可以找到这种纸币。根据时间状语“between 1260 and 1269”可知，此处使用一般过去时，paper notes和print为被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为复数名词，be动词用were。故填were printed。
【6题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词used需用副词widely，作状语。故填widely。
C
阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
There is a place ___7___ (name) Dahailin (Huge Sea Forest) in northeastern China’s Heilongjiang Province. Deep in Dahailin is a magic al place, ___8___ it snows from October until March.

The villagers there enjoy ____10____ (live) a free and pleasant life.
【答案】7. named
8. where 9. houses
10. living
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国黑龙江省大海林地区的一个神奇而美丽的小村庄，以及村民们在这里过着自由愉快的生活。
【7题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国东北的黑龙江省有一个叫大海林的地方。分析句子结构可知，name在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，句子主语place承受name的动作，因此使用name的过去分词作定语。故填named。
【8题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：大海林深处是一个神奇的地方，从十月到三月都会下雪。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，place是先行词，从句中缺少地点状语，因此使用where引导定语从句。故填where。
【9题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在雪地里，古老的木屋看起来像白色的蘑菇。house在句子中是可数名词，作主语，由谓语动词look可知，主语是复数，应该使用复数形式。故填houses。
【10题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：那里的村民过着自由愉快的生活。enjoy后接动名词，作宾语。故填living。
二、完形填空（共14小题；每小题1.5分，共21分）
阅读短文，掌握其大意，从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

“The living environment in China is perfect for me, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn’t fluent. It’s not a difficult task to come to China without fluent Chinese. You can enjoy yourself here.” Since I left Japan, I started my journey in China. These have been my first thoughts on my time here in China.
In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almost a year later, I found myself in Beijing, the capital of China. Before coming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I could sense my progress in the language. As you might expect, studying for just one year wasn’t enough to say I was fluent in Chinese, and to be honest, I’m not there yet. But full skills in the language are not necessary to enjoy many attractions of life in China.
The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and less lonely is making friends and joining in conversations. At Tsinghua University, where I studied in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and enjoyed spending time with them for meals and other activities. They would often ask me to hang out together and go to KTV, which was a popular form among Chinese youth.
During breaks from study, I often started travelling across China. I’ve visited cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Changsha. Although I have experienced travelling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and visited unfamiliar cities, I never feel fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner. Chinese people are warm and welcoming to foreigners, and eager to join in conversations.
I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education. As a volunteer teacher at a local school, I shared traditional Japanese culture such as pop music and languages with the students. Since Japanese language came from Chinese, they are similar somehow. I told the students we could see the connections between our cultures through our daily language use.
If you want to understand and experience the life in China, you’ll find a way to do so. I hope that many foreigners who may not speak Chinese fluently can still enjoy themselves here, just as I have.

For many of us, the desire to speak a foreign language is overshadowed by the idea that it’s a long journey or that there’s no practical reason to learn. However, research has shown that speaking two languages has many advantages in this connected world today. Businesses with people around the world need someone who is not only capable of communicating in another language but also culturally aware and open-minded. Many companies prefer the people who are able to speak more than one language since they have faced more difficult situations in their language learning than the people who only speak one language, thus they desire to deal with more challenges in the work.
While creativity can be a difficult thing to measure, researchers have attempted to measure creative ability in a number of ways. One of the tools that are most widely used to understand creativity is a test known as the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The TTCT was first introduced in 1962 by Ellis Paul Torrance and measures one’s divergent (发散的) thinking in some key areas.
Divergent thinking is how well and how quickly your mind can solve problems. A study conducted by the University of Mashhad collected the TTCT results of the people who speak only one language and the people who have learned two languages and clearly showed that the second of the two groups performed better.
Some reasons for this could be that people who speak two languages are often faced with situations where they must consider various things, which can have an effect on problem-solving ability.
Language allows you to express your thoughts to other people, but what if there are no words to express what you’re thinking and feeling Understanding a second language can allow you to express something you may not be able to with only one language.
Because language is linked to culture, you will find that by speaking more than one language you have a better understanding and appreciation of other cultures. This allows you to establish stronger connections with people from other cultural backgrounds. Nelson Mandela once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” Communicating in someone’s native language is not only a great way to show respect, but also helps you develop a deeper personal connection that goes beyond just being understood.
35. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Encouraged. C. Controlled. D. Strengthened.
36. People who speak more than one language often ______.
A. show no interest in new ideas B. communicate more with others
C. receive more money for their work D. want to perform more difficult tasks
37. What do we know about TTCT
A. Its results can tell us how creative we are.
B. It can be used to develop divergent thinking.
C. It trains our minds to solve problems quickly.
D. It offers us measures to handle different situations.
38. What can help us build deeper personal connections with foreigners
A. Understanding what they said. B. Speaking their native languages.
C. Teaching them our native languages. D. Expressing thoughts in our native languages.
39. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Benefits of Leaning a Second Language
B. Importance of Understanding Other Cultures
C. TTCT: A Useful Tool for Language Learning
D. Second Language: An Advantage in Your Work
【答案】35. A 36. D 37. A 38. B 39. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习一门第二外语的益处。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的下一句“it’s a long journey or that there’s no practical reason to learn.(这是一个漫长的过程，或者没有实际的理由去学习)”可知，这种想法会影响说一门外语的欲望，此处是指说一门外语的欲望受这种想法影响而“降低了”，所以划线词是“降低”的意思。故选A项。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Many companies prefer the people who are able to speak more than one language since they have faced more difficult situations in their language learning than the people who only speak one language, thus they desire to deal with more challenges in the work.(许多公司更喜欢会说一种以上语言的人，因为他们在语言学习中比只会说一种语言的人面临更多困难的情况，因此他们希望在工作中应对更多的挑战)”可知，会说一门以上语言的人希望应对更多挑战。由此推知，会说多种语言的人通常想要完成更困难的任务。故选D项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While creativity can be a difficult thing to measure, researchers have attempted to measure creative ability in a number of ways.

How can we gain benefits from feedback practices while reducing their disadvantages There are some ways to help you.
Feedback works best for the people whose main goal is self-improvement. It should be given in a developmental approach and future-focused, highlighting areas in which the recipient (接收者) can improve, and offering clear, actionable strategies.
First, we should consider using terms besides “feedback”. Some studies have suggested replacing “feedback” with terms such as “advice”, which often contain more practical information. Offering feedback as advice encourages recipients to focus on improving their future performance.
Next, focus on the advantages. Excellence in teaching is often influenced by our own feelings, with lots of effective approaches for any given topic. Research suggests we improve ourselves when others focus on our advantages. A key to effective feedback is highlighting existing patterns of excellence.
Then, we must learn how to give feedback. Delivering feedback can be challenging, especially if the person receiving the feedback is the person who has the same social position as you or the information could be sensed as critical (批评的). To avoid such situations, reducing unpleasant messages may help.
Receiving feedback, as well as giving it, is a skill. Therefore, helping teachers build skills around receiving practice-based information, feedback, or advice, such as listening with an open mind, thinking critically about the information, asking for specific advice and “making a thoughtful choice” about the quality and effectiveness of the feedback, can improve the whole process.
Finally, focus on the “what” of feedback. While much attention is given to the “how” of feedback delivery, the real value lies in the “what” of feedback, that is the richness of its information. “High information” feedback should include two important points: checking the correctness of the teacher’s approach when there is only one correct method and offering information to fill gaps in understanding and guide the recipient towards a desired approach.
We know that feedback is quite important for teachers’ professional development. After reading the information above, with established effective feedback methods, we can make the feedback process more effective and useful for more teachers in ways that finally improve students’ learning.

“The living environment in China is perfect for me, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn’t fluent. It’s not a difficult task to come to China without fluent Chinese. You can enjoy yourself here.” Since I left Japan, I started my journey in China. These have been my first thoughts on my time here in China.
In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almost a year later, I found myself in Beijing, the capital of China. Before coming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I could sense my progress in the language. As you might expect, studying for just one year wasn’t enough to say I was fluent in Chinese, and to be honest, I’m not there yet. But full skills in the language are not necessary to enjoy many attractions of life in China.
The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and less lonely is making friends and joining in conversations. At Tsinghua University, where I studied in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and enjoyed spending time with them for meals and other activities. They would often ask me to hang out together and go to KTV, which was a popular form among Chinese youth.
During breaks from study, I often started travelling across China. I’ve visited cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Changsha. Although I have experienced travelling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and visited unfamiliar cities, I never feel fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner. Chinese people are warm and welcoming to foreigners, and eager to join in conversations.
I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education. As a volunteer teacher at a local school I shared traditional Japanese culture such as pop music and languages with the students. Since Japanese language came from Chinese, they are similar somehow. I told the students we could see the connections between our cultures through our daily language use.
If you want to understand and experience the life in China, you’ll find a way to do so. I hope that many foreigners who may not speak Chinese fluently can still enjoy themselves here, just as I have.
30. How did the writer feel about living in China without fluent Chinese
A. Challenged. B. Bored. C. Nervous. D. Easy.
31. What mainly helped the writer get used to the life in China
A. Speaking fluent Chinese. B. Studying in a Chinese university.
C. Having talks with Chinese friends. D. Getting to know many Chinese places.
32. The author joined in community activities in Gansu to ______.
A. gain a deeper understanding of China’s city areas
B. share traditional Japanese culture to the local people
C. find out the differences between Japanese and Chinese
D. help the development of local communities and education
33. According to the passage, which word can best describe the writer
A. Active. B. Funny. C. Humorous. D. Honest.
34. What can we learn from this passage
A Japanese language didn’t come from Chinese.
B. We may all feel fearful when visiting new cities.
C. Language may not be a big problem when living in China.
D. Hanging out to a KTV is necessary when visiting a new place.
C
For many of us, the desire to speak a foreign language is overshadowed by the idea that it’s a long journey or that there’s no practical reason to learn. However, research has shown that speaking two languages has many advantages in this connected world today. Businesses with people around the world need someone who is not only capable of communicating in another language but also culturally aware and open-minded. Many companies prefer the people who are able to speak more than one language since they have faced more difficult situations in their language learning than the people who only speak one language, thus they desire to deal with more challenges in the work.
While creativity can be a difficult thing to measure, researchers have attempted to measure creative ability in a number of ways. One of the tools that are most widely used to understand creativity is a test known as the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT). The TTCT was first introduced in 1962 by Ellis Paul Torrance and measures one’s divergent (发散的) thinking in some key areas.
Divergent thinking is how well and how quickly your mind can solve problems. A study conducted by the University of Mashhad collected the TTCT results of the people who speak only one language and the people who have learned two languages and clearly showed that the second of the two groups performed better.
Some reasons for this could be that people who speak two languages are often faced with situations where they must consider various things, which can have an effect on problem-solving ability.
Language allows you to express your thoughts to other people, but what if there are no words to express what you’re thinking and feeling Understanding a second language can allow you to express something you may not be able to with only one language.
Because language is linked to culture, you will find that by speaking more than one language you have a better understanding and appreciation of other cultures. This allows you to establish stronger connections with people from other cultural backgrounds. Nelson Mandela once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” Communicating in someone’s native language is not only a great way to show respect, but also helps you develop a deeper personal connection that goes beyond just being understood.
35. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Reduced. B. Encouraged. C. Controlled. D. Strengthened.
36. People who speak more than one language often ______.
A. show no interest in new ideas B. communicate more with others
C. receive more money for their work D. want to perform more difficult tasks
37. What do we know about TTCT
A. Its results can tell us how creative we are.
B. It can be used to develop divergent thinking.
C. It trains our minds to solve problems quickly.
D. It offers us measures to handle different situations.
38 What can help us build deeper personal connections with foreigners
A. Understanding what they said. B. Speaking their native languages.
C. Teaching them our native languages. D. Expressing thoughts in our native languages.
39. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Benefits of Leaning a Second Language
B. Importance of Understanding Other Cultures
C. TTCT: A Useful Tool for Language Learning
D. Second Language: An Advantage in Your Work

How can we gain benefits from feedback practices while reducing their disadvantages There are some ways to help you.
Feedback works best for the people whose main goal is self-improvement. It should be given in a developmental approach and future-focused, highlighting areas in which the recipient (接收者) can improve, and offering clear, actionable strategies.
First we should consider using terms besides “feedback”. Some studies have suggested replacing “feedback” with terms such as “advice”, which often contain more practical information. Offering feedback as advice encourages recipients to focus on improving their future performance.
Next, focus on the advantages. Excellence in teaching is often influenced by our own feelings, with lots of effective approaches for any given topic. Research suggests we improve ourselves when others focus on our advantages. A key to effective feedback is highlighting existing patterns of excellence.
Then, we must learn how to give feedback. Delivering feedback can be challenging, especially if the person receiving the feedback is the person who has the same social position as you or the information could be sensed as critical (批评的). To avoid such situations, reducing unpleasant messages may help.
Receiving feedback, as well as giving it, is a skill. Therefore, helping teachers build skills around receiving practice-based information, feedback, or advice, such as listening with an open mind, thinking critically about the information, asking for specific advice and “making a thoughtful choice” about the quality and effectiveness of the feedback, can improve the whole process.
Finally, focus on the “what” of feedback. While much attention is given to the “how” of feedback delivery, the real value lies in the “what” of feedback, that is the richness of its information. “High information” feedback should include two important points: checking the correctness of the teacher’s approach when there is only one correct method and offering information to fill gaps in understanding and guide the recipient towards a desired approach.
We know that feedback is quite important for teachers’ professional development. After reading the information above, with established effective feedback methods, we can make the feedback process more effective and useful for more teachers in ways that finally improve students’ learning.
