【原文】
Good evening, gentlemen and boys! Thank you for being here this evening. We’re here to congratulate the top achievers of this year. The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony.
Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prize winners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world.
Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here,” he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more.” We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried my absolute best.”

My son Joshua was nine and we were living a hard life. Before Christmas I still hadn’t managed to buy him the gifts.
One snowy day, while walking downtown, I saw a large poster of a fat Santa with a bag of toys before a fireplace, welcoming children to visit Santa at the department store before Christmas.
An idea hit me. Rather than seeking financial support and donations at the church, I’d make Christmas for Joshua using my imagination. Santa was coming to town, but what about Mrs. Claus I headed toward the manager’s office of the store and applied for a job as Mrs. Claus to accompany Mr. Claus. The manager thought about the idea and hired me on the spot. The next morning, I carefully packed my homemade costume. After ducking into a changing room, I emerged dressed as Mrs. Claus. Taking a deep breath I stepped into the manager’s office. “Good morning, I’m Mrs. Claus.” “Good morning, Stella.” Though taken by surprise, she didn’t show it.
I loved the job. As the month wore on, my best friend Liz brought Joshua and her daughter Katie downtown to visit Santa on the last Saturday before Christmas. The two kids were excited about seeing Santa and getting a treat. Later I saw Joshua pass his wish list to Santa, while he pointed to Mrs. Claus who was talking with the waiting children. Then old Santa tucked it in his pocket.
At the end of the last day, and after an endless line-up of children, the store manager gave me a substantial paycheque including a generous bonus. I was overjoyed. Now I could make Christmas for Joshua without having to resort to donations.
Late on Christmas Eve, there was a knock on my apartment door. As I stood speechless at the door, Santa dropped a bag of presents on the floor and disappeared into the darkness. When I opened the bag, I found four beautifully wrapped presents ready to place under the tree. Tears welled in my eyes as I read the tags: Things for Stella, Love Santa.
24．What idea did the author think up seeing the poster
A．Looking for a sales job in the store.
B．Seeking donations from the local church.
C．Making unique Christmas gifts for Joshua at home.
D．Working as Mrs. Claus to buy Joshua Christmas gifts.
25．How did the manager respond to the appearance of Mrs. Claus
A．She appeared to be calm. B．She expressed her satisfaction.
C．She was familiar with the idea. D．She felt annoyed to be disturbed.
26．What do the underlined words “resort to” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Pay for. B．Work out.
C．Depend on. D．Rule out.
27．What had Joshua possibly written on the wish list
A．The things he wanted for Christmas. B．The gifts he wanted for his mother.
C．The dream job his mother wanted. D．The experience he had in Christmas.
【答案】24．D 25．A 26．C 27．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者想办法挣钱为孩子准备圣诞礼物，结果却收到了礼物的故事。
24．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“An idea hit me. Rather than seeking financial support and donations at the church, I’d make Christmas for Joshua using my imagination. Santa was coming to town, but what about Mrs. Claus I headed toward the manager’s office of the store and applied for a job as Mrs. Claus to accompany Mr. Claus. (我突然想到一个主意。与其在教堂寻求经济支持和捐款，我不如用我的想象力为约书亚创造一个圣诞节。圣诞老人要进城了，那圣诞老奶奶呢？我向店长办公室走去，申请了一份圣诞夫人的工作，陪着圣诞老人)”可知，看到海报，作者想扮演圣诞老人，从而赚钱给约书亚买圣诞礼物。故选D。
25．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Taking a deep breath I stepped into the manager’s office. “Good morning, I’m Mrs. Claus. ” “Good morning, Stella.” Though taken by surprise, she didn’t show it. (我深吸了一口气，走进经理的办公室。“早上好，我是圣诞老奶奶。”“早上好，斯特拉。”虽然很吃惊，但她并没有表现出来)”可推知，经理对克劳斯夫人的出现显得很平静。故选A。
26．词句猜测题。由文章划线词上文“At the end of the last day, and after an endless line-up of children, the store manager gave me a substantial paycheque including a generous bonus. I was overjoyed. Now I could make Christmas for Joshua (在最后一天结束的时候，在孩子们排着长长的队伍之后，商店经理给了我一笔可观的薪水，其中包括一笔丰厚的奖金。我欣喜若狂。现在我可以为乔舒亚过圣诞节)”可知，作者可以用自己挣得的钱为孩子买礼物，不用依赖捐款。由此可知，划线词的含义为“依赖，依靠”。A. Pay for付费；B. Work out锻炼；C. Depend on依赖；D. Rule out排除。故选C。
27．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“When I opened the bag, I found four beautifully wrapped presents ready to place under the tree. Tears welled in my eyes as I read the tags: Things for Stella, Love Santa. (当我打开袋子时，我发现四件包装精美的礼物准备放在树下。当我读着标签时，泪水夺眶而出：送给斯特拉的礼物，爱你的圣诞老人)”可推知，约书亚可能在愿望清单上写了他想要给母亲的礼物。故选B。
C
Remember Malcolm Gladwell’s famous “10,000-hour rule” from his bestselling book Outliers It proposes that achieving mastery in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of practice, emphasizing the importance of early professionalization and intensive practice for becoming an elite in a particular field.
This approach, known as “deliberate practice”, encourages setting goals from a young age, investing time and specializing in a specific field. On paper, it sounds like a good path to success, but when we look at the lives of elite athletes, musicians and scholars, we find a different story. In reality, many individuals who have risen to the top of their respective fields took a more diverse and winding route. They often explored a wide range of activities, gained a broad skill set, and only specialized at a later stage in life. In other words, the idea that one must know one’s specialization from a young age is fundamentally wrong.
Studies have shown that an approach called the “sampling period” is often more effective for achieving success. During this phase, individuals try various activities, gain diverse skills, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and only choose a field to specialize in once they have a clearer understanding of their passions and abilities.
Elite athletes, for example, rarely specialize in a single sport at a very young age. Instead, they engage in a variety of sports during their formative years, which allows them to acquire broad physical skills and discover their interests and talents. These early diversification experiences provide valuable lessons that can be applied to their chosen sports.
Consider the journey of Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time. At the age of 6, he dabbled in rugby, skiing and wrestling, only returning to tennis later. The trial period benefited him not just because he found his true passion but also because his experiences in various sports enriched his tennis game with a unique set of skills.
28．What does the author think of “10,000-hour rule”
A．It’s effective. B．It’s costly. C．It’s unpractical. D．It’s unproven.
29．“Deliberate practice” stresses the importance of the following aspects except ______.
A．early goal-setting B．diverse skills C．focused practice D．field specialization
30．Why is Roger Federer mentioned in the last paragraph
A．To show the difficulty to be an elite athlete.
B．To prove the advantage of the “sampling period”.
C．To give an example of applying “deliberate practice”.
D．To tell us one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
31．Which statement would the author probably agree with
A．Kids should try many kinds of activities. B．Passion can be found at a young age.
C．Many failures can lead to successes. D．Learn to be an athlete since young.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．B 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“一万小时”定律以及其不实际性。同时研究表明，一种被称为“抽样周期”的方法通常更有效地取得成功。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“On paper, it sounds like a good path to success, but when we look at the lives of elite athletes, musicians and scholars, we find a different story. In reality, many individuals who have risen to the top of their respective fields took a more diverse and winding route. They often explored a wide range of activities, gained a broad skill set, and only specialized at a later stage in life. In other words, the idea that one must know one’s specialization from a young age is fundamentally wrong.(从表面上看，这听起来像是一条通往成功的好途径，但当我们观察精英运动员、音乐家和学者的生活时，我们会发现一个不同的故事。实际上，许多在各自领域登上顶峰的人走的是一条更加多样化和曲折的道路。他们经常探索各种各样的活动，获得广泛的技能，只有在生命的后期才会专业化。换句话说，一个人必须从小就了解自己的专业的想法从根本上是错误的)”可知，作者认为“一万小时规则”是不实际的。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第一段“It proposes that achieving mastery in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of practice, emphasizing the importance of early professionalization and intensive practice for becoming an elite in a particular field.(它提出，要在任何领域达到精通，都需要大约1万个小时的练习，强调早期专业化和密集练习对于成为某一领域的精英的重要性)”以及第二段“This approach, known as “deliberate practice”, encourages setting goals from a young age, investing time and specializing in a specific field.(这种方法被称为“刻意练习”，鼓励人们从小就设定目标，投入时间，专攻某一特定领域)”可知，“刻意练习”没有强调多种技能的重要性。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Consider the journey of Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time. At the age of 6, he dabbled in rugby, skiing and wrestling, only returning to tennis later. The trial period benefited him not just because he found his true passion but also because his experiences in various sports enriched his tennis game with a unique set of skills.(想想有史以来最伟大的网球运动员之一罗杰·费德勒的经历吧。6岁时，他开始涉足橄榄球、滑雪和摔跤，后来才重新回到网球上。这段试用期让他受益，不仅因为他找到了自己真正的激情，还因为他在各种运动中的经历丰富了他的网球比赛，使他拥有了一套独特的技能)”可推知，最后一段提到了罗杰·费德勒是为了证明“抽样周期”的优势。故选B。
31．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead, they engage in a variety of sports during their formative years, which allows them to acquire broad physical skills and discover their interests and talents.(相反，他们在成长过程中参加各种各样的运动，这使他们获得广泛的身体技能，发现他们的兴趣和才能)”可知，作者认为孩子们应该尝试各种各样的活动。故选A。
D
Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.
In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.
With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.
“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”
These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .
And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.
32．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research
A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure.
C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed.
33．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing
A．It involves more specific brain activation. B．It promotes better muscle memory.
C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration.
34．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
【答案】32．C 33．A 34．B 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。
32．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. (在这项研究中，挪威科技大学的心理学家奥黛丽和鲁德把电极贴在参与者的头上。他们要求参与者用数字笔打出或手写出现在电脑屏幕上的单词。帽子上的传感器记录了大脑的电活动。然后，心理学家们寻找两个大脑区域在同一时间以相同的电波频率活跃的情况。)”可知，Audrey和Ruud在研究中主要监测大脑活动。故选C。
33．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.(当研究小组比较这两项任务时，他们意识到手写——而不是打字——增加了大脑顶叶区域和中央区域之间的连通性，顶叶区域与感觉和运动处理有关，而中央区域中有许多与记忆有关。)”和后文“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says.“It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.” (奥黛丽说：“即使动作非常相似，手写的激活程度似乎也要高得多。”“这表明，当你书写时，这些大脑区域的参与程度更高，这可能会给你带来一些特殊的优势。”)”可知，手写比打字更能改善学习因为它涉及更具体的大脑激活。故选A。
34．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. (虽然手写可能有助于学习过程，但打字通常更容易、更快、更实用。)”可知，作者对打字的态度是客观的。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，反复写同一个单词可能会让一些人回忆起不好的记忆，但手写可以增强大脑各区域的连通性，其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关。)”可知，文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。所以选项D“Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does (手写比打字更能增强大脑联系)”。故选D。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A．They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B．here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C．Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.

61．考查定语从句。句意：昆曲是中国现存最古老的戏曲形式之一，其起源可追溯到元代。昆曲，也被称为昆山腔，据说是所有中国戏剧之母。这里为定语从句的关系词，先行词为“Kunqu Opera”，在非限制性定语从句中担当主语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
62．考查代词。句意：这种传统的表演艺术是以其发源地昆山命名的，昆山位于今天中国东部江苏省苏州市附近。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词性物主代词修饰空后的名词“birthplace”。故填its。
63．考查冠词。句意：昆曲的发展经历了几个阶段。修饰名词“development”，特指“昆曲的发展”，用定冠词the；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填The。
64．考查时态和语态。句意：在此过程中，只使用了打击乐器。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上下文可知，本句时态为一般过去时；主语为“only percussion instruments”，复数，和动词“apply”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填were applied。
65．考查形容词。句意：在明朝，经过魏良辅的科学改革，昆曲变得温和、流畅、优雅。分析句子成分可知，空处为形容词形式，修饰空后的名词“reform”。故填scientific。

69．考查非谓语动词。句意：原因是观众需要拥有高水平的技术知识。非谓语动词担当主语补足语，用动词不定式形式，构成固定短语：be required to do sth.，意为“某人被要求做……”，符合句意。故填to have。

I participated in a cycling event yesterday. This event attracted cycling lover from all over the city. I was not sure where I found the courage to undertook it, but it could have been the inspiration from the spirit of sportsmanship I witnessed before.
My friends and I began my cycling adventure at 6 am from the eastern side of the lake. The cycling path was lined by a variety of color flowers, many of what I couldn’t identify by name. Looking down on, I noticed lots of falling leaves on the red track. At that moment I realized leaves were so attractive. Of course, this journey wasn’t just the feast for the eyes. It was absolute a physical challenge too.
【答案】
1.lover→lovers
2.undertook→undertake
3.witnessed前加had
4.my→our
5.color→colorful
6.what→which
7.删除on
8.falling→fallen
9.the→a
10.absolute→absolutely
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加自行车骑行的经历。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：这项活动吸引了来自全城各地的自行车爱好者。lover是可数名词，由from all over the city可知，不止一个自行车爱好者，应用复数形式，故将lover改为lovers。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：我不确定自己是从哪里找到勇气去做这件事的，但它可能是我以前亲眼目睹的体育精神所激发出来的灵感。to是不定式，其后应用动词原形，to undertake it是不定式作后置定语，修饰名词courage，故将undertook改为undertake。
3.考查时态。句意：我不确定自己是从哪里找到勇气去做这件事的，但它可能是我以前亲眼目睹的体育精神所激发出来的灵感。由句意和before可知，“见证”这一动作发生在过去的过去，应用过去完成时，故在witnessed前加had。
4.考查代词。句意：早上6点，我和朋友们从湖的东边开始了我们的自行车冒险。主语是My friends and I，两个人，所以此处表示“我们的自行车冒险”，应用形容词性物主代词our作定语，修饰名词，故将my改为our。
5.考查形容词。句意：自行车道两旁开满了五颜六色的花，其中很多我都叫不出名字。此处应用形容词colorful作定语，修饰名词flowers，故将color改为colorful。
6.考查定语从句。句意：自行车道两旁开满了五颜六色的花，其中很多我都叫不出名字。逗号后面是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词flowers，指物，且关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，应用which引导定语从句，what不能引导定语从句，故将what改为which。
7.考查介词。句意： 往下看，我注意到红色的轨道上有许多落叶。look down固定搭配，意为“往下看”，后面不接宾语，look down on表示“俯视……”的时候，后面接宾语，故删除on。
8.考查形容词。句意： 往下看，我注意到红色的轨道上有许多落叶。此处表示“落下的”，而非“正在落下的”，应用形容词fallen作定语，修饰名词leaves，故将falling改为fallen。
9.考查冠词。句意：当然，这次旅行不仅仅是一场视觉盛宴。此处泛指一场视觉盛宴，应用不定冠词来修饰，且feast发音是以辅音音素开头，应用a，故将the改为a。
10.考查副词。句意：这也绝对是一个身体上的挑战。此处应用副词absolutely作状语，故将absolute改为absolutely。

【答案】An Experience That Helped Me Grow
I have a lot of interesting experiences during senior high school. But one thing still stays fresh in my memory as if it happened yesterday.
In Grade One I spent a lot of my time reading novels instead of working on my lessons. I thought it wouldn’t do harm to my school performance and the teacher would never know what I was doing. When the result of the midterm examination came out, my head teacher told me that I had bad scores and asked me why. Embarrassed and ashamed, I couldn’t utter a word. I knew I must make a change. I promised her I would put my heart into my lessons.
Since then, I have focused my attention on my lessons and made rapid progress. My experience allows me to realize “You reap what you sow”.

My son Joshua was nine and we were living a hard life. Before Christmas I still hadn’t managed to buy him the gifts.
One snowy day, while walking downtown, I saw a large poster of a fat Santa with a bag of toys before a fireplace, welcoming children to visit Santa at the department store before Christmas.
An idea hit me. Rather than seeking financial support and donations at the church, I’d make Christmas for Joshua using my imagination. Santa was coming to town, but what about Mrs. Claus I headed toward the manager’s office of the store and applied for a job as Mrs. Claus to accompany Mr. Claus. The manager thought about the idea and hired me on the spot. The next morning, I carefully packed my homemade costume. After ducking into a changing room, I emerged dressed as Mrs. Claus. Taking a deep breath I stepped into the manager’s office. “Good morning, I’m Mrs. Claus.” “Good morning, Stella.” Though taken by surprise, she didn’t show it.
I loved the job. As the month wore on, my best friend Liz brought Joshua and her daughter Katie downtown to visit Santa on the last Saturday before Christmas. The two kids were excited about seeing Santa and getting a treat. Later I saw Joshua pass his wish list to Santa, while he pointed to Mrs. Claus who was talking with the waiting children. Then old Santa tucked it in his pocket.
At the end of the last day, and after an endless line-up of children, the store manager gave me a substantial paycheque including a generous bonus. I was overjoyed. Now I could make Christmas for Joshua without having to resort to donations.
Late on Christmas Eve, there was a knock on my apartment door. As I stood speechless at the door, Santa dropped a bag of presents on the floor and disappeared into the darkness. When I opened the bag, I found four beautifully wrapped presents ready to place under the tree. Tears welled in my eyes as I read the tags: Things for Stella, Love Santa.

Remember Malcolm Gladwell’s famous “10,000-hour rule” from his bestselling book Outliers It proposes that achieving mastery in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of practice, emphasizing the importance of early professionalization and intensive practice for becoming an elite in a particular field.
This approach, known as “deliberate practice”, encourages setting goals from a young age, investing time and specializing in a specific field. On paper, it sounds like a good path to success, but when we look at the lives of elite athletes, musicians and scholars, we find a different story. In reality, many individuals who have risen to the top of their respective fields took a more diverse and winding route. They often explored a wide range of activities, gained a broad skill set, and only specialized at a later stage in life. In other words, the idea that one must know one’s specialization from a young age is fundamentally wrong.
Studies have shown that an approach called the “sampling period” is often more effective for achieving success. During this phase, individuals try various activities, gain diverse skills, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and only choose a field to specialize in once they have a clearer understanding of their passions and abilities.
Elite athletes, for example, rarely specialize in a single sport at a very young age. Instead, they engage in a variety of sports during their formative years, which allows them to acquire broad physical skills and discover their interests and talents. These early diversification experiences provide valuable lessons that can be applied to their chosen sports.
Consider the journey of Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time. At the age of 6, he dabbled in rugby, skiing and wrestling, only returning to tennis later. The trial period benefited him not just because he found his true passion but also because his experiences in various sports enriched his tennis game with a unique set of skills.
28．What does the author think of “10,000-hour rule”
A．It’s effective. B．It’s costly. C．It’s unpractical. D．It’s unproven.
29．“Deliberate practice” stresses the importance of the following aspects except ______.
A．early goal-setting B．diverse skills C．focused practice D．field specialization
30．Why is Roger Federer mentioned in the last paragraph
A．To show the difficulty to be an elite athlete.
B．To prove the advantage of the “sampling period”.
C．To give an example of applying “deliberate practice”.
D．To tell us one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
31．Which statement would the author probably agree with
A．Kids should try many kinds of activities. B．Passion can be found at a young age.
C．Many failures can lead to successes. D．Learn to be an athlete since young.
D
Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.
In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.
With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.
“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”
These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .
And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.
32．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research
A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure.
C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed.
33．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing
A．It involves more specific brain activation. B．It promotes better muscle memory.
C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration.
34．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A．They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B．here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C．Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D．So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E．How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F．Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G．However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.

I participated in a cycling event yesterday. This event attracted cycling lover from all over the city. I was not sure where I found the courage to undertook it, but it could have been the inspiration from the spirit of sportsmanship I witnessed before.
My friends and I began my cycling adventure at 6 am from the eastern side of the lake. The cycling path was lined by a variety of color flowers, many of what I couldn’t identify by name. Looking down on, I noticed lots of falling leaves on the red track. At that moment I realized leaves were so attractive. Of course, this journey wasn’t just the feast for the eyes. It was absolute a physical challenge too.
