At 98, Dick Van Dyke still sings with his group, The Vantastix, and still makes it all look easy. When asked how important it is that he’s having fun when he’s doing it, Van Dyke replied, “My whole career has relied on that. It’s such a blessing to find a way of making a living that you love. I feel so sorry for people who hate their job. I look forward to going to work every morning!”
And some of his work helped define a generation. Take “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; it ran for five years on CBS, and it was such a hit that they’re bringing it back. This week, CBS aired a two-hour tribute (致敬), “Dick Van Dyke, 98 Years of Magic”, and for the occasion, they recreated the original Dick Van Dyke Show” set, down to that well-known sofa.
Early in his career Van Dyke was quoted as saying he only wanted to make films his children could watch. That got the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly cast him in “Mary Poppins”. And his next few films were equally family-friendly, like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which happened to have been co-written by James Bond creator Ian Fleming. From then on, Van Dyke was almost always assigned to play the good guy, though he claims to have missed out on a choice part: “Yeah, I could have been James Bond. When Sean Connery left, the producer said, ‘Would you like to be the next Bond ’ I said, ‘Have you heard my British accent ’ That’s a true story!”
It seems that in show biz the true legends never stop. In an interview from 2017 with his friends, Van Dyke described what it was like hitting 90: “People are more afraid of aging than they are of death these days. And I want to say that remain young in heart and there’s a lot of good living to do.”
4. What can we infer from Dyke’s reply in Paragraph 1
A. He enjoys his job. B. He hates morning work.
C. He sees his job as a burden. D. He prefers leisure to work.
5. What did CBS do for Dyke
A. They created a new set for his show.
B. They bought a famous sofa for him.
C. They made a special program for him.
D. They invited young generation to watch his show.
6. Which statement is true about Dyke’s career
A. His films are rarely family-friendly.
B. His films are only made for his children.
C. Van Dyke was always playing the good guy.
D. Van Dyke had the chance to play James Bond.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Forever Young. B. Work Comes First.
C. Always Have Fun. D. Legends Are Timeless.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】

Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Standford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate (玻色—爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them — explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline—was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students(研究生) who came to work in his lab. When his PH.D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.
A major factor in the graduate students’ transformation, Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors (导师).
Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His aspiration is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.
8. What problem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates
A. Making them excel in the lab. B. Demonstrating lab experiments.
C. Facilitating their all-round development. D. Enhancing their physics problem-solving.
9. Which of the following best describes the graduate students who first joined Wieman’s lab
A. Limited in thinking. B. Resistant to new ideas.
C. Flexible and earnest. D. Experienced and cooperative.
10. What is crucial for developing students’ intelligent thought according to the 2019 study
A. Intense lab work. B. Peer pressure and evaluation.
C. Academic interaction with fellows. D. Engagement with external society.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Transforming Graduates’ Habits B. Carl Wieman’s Nobel Prize Journey
C. The Nobel-Prize Winner’s Struggles D. Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔奖获得者美国斯坦福大学教授Carl Wieman试图帮助本科生提高解决问题的能力而进行了教学创新,将“主动学习”的方法引入课程,希望将科学教育从讲座形式转变为一种更加积极和更加投入的模式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.(尽管他解释得很清楚,但他的学生解决他提出的问题的能力仍然不足)”可知,他的学生(本科生)仍然无法提高解决他提出的问题的能力,即他在提高学生的物理解题能力方面遇到了问题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“When his PH.D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates.(Wieman注意到,当他的博士候选人,即,研究生们进入实验室时,他们的思维习惯和本科生一样狭隘和僵化)”可知,初入实验室时的他们思维习惯和本科生一样狭隘和僵化。由此推知,选项A“Limited in thinking.(思维有限)”是对刚开始进入实验室的研究生的描述。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses, designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab…(该报告的作者在四年的时间里追踪了数百名科学研究生的智力发展,发现关键技能的发展,如提出假设、设计实验和分析数据,与学生在实验室与同龄人的互动密切相关……)”可知,2019年的研究发现关键技能的发展,比如提出假设、设计实验和分析数据等这些思维方面的关键技能,与学生在实验室与同龄人的互动密切相关。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段的总结“Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His aspiration is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.(越来越多的斯坦福大学教授将这种“主动学习”的方法引入他们的课程,Wieman就是其中之一。他的愿望是将科学教育从讲座形式转变为一种更加积极和更加投入的模式)”可知,文章主要讲述了Carl Wieman在教学中发现学生的思维能力和解决问题的能力较差,并找到了解决方案——在实验室的研究生身上发现思维能力的提升关键是和同伴进行的学术交流,从而将“主动学习”的方法引入课程。由此可知,选项D“Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation(Carl Wieman的教育创新) ”适合作本文标题。故选D项。
D
The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.
According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student's growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom. These teachers may convey how, in their classes, mistakes are learning opportunities, not signs of low ability, and back up this view with assignments and evaluations that reward continual improvement. This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.
The study analyzed data from the National Study of Learning Mindset, which was an intervention experiment conducted with a sample of ninth-grade students’ math grades. The present focus on math grades is motivated by the fact that students tend to find math challenging and anxiety inducing, and therefore, a growth mindset might help students face those challenges productively.
In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset. They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.
Successfully teaching a growth mindset to students lifted math grades overall, but this was not enough for all students to reap the benefits of a growth-mindset intervention. Supportive classroom contexts also mattered.Students who were in classrooms with teachers who approved of more of a fixed mindset did not show gains in their math grades over ninth grade, whereas the same kind of students in classrooms with more growth-mind set teachers showed meaningful gains.
In general, they view the testing and understanding of the causal effect of teacher mindset as the next step for mindset science. Such research will be challenging to carry out, however.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. How a student's growth-mindset is inspired.
B. Why a teacher's growth mindset is important.
C. How mistakes turn into learning opportunities.
D. Why a student continues acting on growth mindset.
13. What can we learn from the study on ninth-grade students
A. Students were unable to overcome maths challenge.
B. The positive effect was concentrated on all students.
C. The sample size of the experiment was insufficient.
D. Students at baseline were influenced considerably.
14. In the growth-mindset intervention, the teachers' mindset_______.
A. has an influence on the effectiveness
B. is determined by supportive classroom
C. always brings meaningful gains to students
D. plays a decisive role in students' significant gains
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Academic Performance: The Influence of Students’ Mindset
B. Students’ Learning Motivation: The Impact of Teachers’ Mindset
C. Encouraging a Growth Mindset: The Role of Teachers
D. Fixed and Growth Mindset: Their Relationship and Impact
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究表明,教师成长心态对学生的成长心态以及学习效果有积极的影响。建议教师鼓励学生的成长心态。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student’s growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom….This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.(根据一项研究,教师的成长心态可以作为一种“支持”,在一开始就可以引出学生的成长心态,并使其在课堂上可维护和可操作。……这可以鼓励学生继续按照他们的成长心态行事)”可知,该段主要通过研究讲述为什么教师的成长心态很重要。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.(他们还发现,作为比较和评估其他学生进步的基准的基线学生,在课堂上表现出更固定的心态,对数学成绩有显著的积极影响)”可知那些参与研究的九年级学生中,基线学生受到很大影响。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset.(在这项研究中,研究人员表明,短期成长心态干预对九年级学生数学成绩的积极影响集中在教师自己也有成长心态的学生身上)”可知,在成长心态干预中,教师的心态对干预的效果有影响。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.(成长心态是一种信念,即智力是可以发展的,而不是固定的,这在学校和研究人员中受到了极大的关注)”及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述研究表明,教师成长心态对学生的成长心态以及学习效果有积极的影响。建议教师鼓励学生的成长心态。C项“Encouraging a Growth Mindset: The Role of Teachers(鼓励成长心态:教师的作用)”概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

One spring day, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining brightly. The sky was clear and blue, and the temperature was comfortable. It was a perfect day for a walk outside.
Our teacher Mr. White asked us all to go out of the classroom to enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the natural world. But before Ruby and I were ready to go out to play, Cathy signed to both of us to stop. We were the best sisters, playing together each time.
“Come over, ladies! Guess what I discovered in Mr. White’s locker, with a mysterious smile on her face, Cathy rocked a chalk box with pieces of colorful chalk inside.
“Fabulous! How exciting it would be to write on the blackboard with it!” Ruby exclaimed with curiosity and expectation.
“But we can’t do it without our Mr. White’s permission, “I said timidly.
“Nobody will find it out. If you’re a chicken, you can stand by and just watch. Anyway, Cathy and I would have a try, “said Ruby. She picked out a piece of pink chalk and started to draw a dress.
Not to make them believe I was a chicken, I unwillingly involved myself in the creation of art. Soon I lost myself in the picture drawing though I knew we were breaking the class rule: never touch the teachers’ supplies. A moment later we drew a rainbow, a rabbit and a dinosaur respectively. Then we went on drawing many other objects with our imagination. It was real fun.
Suddenly, I noticed the clock above the blackboard. It pointed to 10: 28, only two minutes to the end of the interval. We must erase all on the blackboard before Mr. White came back. If we were caught, we would be punished by doing the cleaning for the class in the next three days.
In a hurry, I picked up an eraser and started destroying our art pieces. As the chalk was so sticky that it left a heavy sign on the blackboard. I had to rub it carefully.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
When the work was almost done, the bell announcing the beginning of class rang. With the students’ laughter approaching, I became nervous. If they reported it to the teacher that we were doing something against the class rule, how should we face it Just then, I suddenly spotted a place close to the edge of the blackboard still stained with a yellow mark. Using the side of the eraser, I tried to wipe it off, but the next moment came a shrieking noise. The mark was gone, but the metal part of the eraser left a remarkably noticeable scratch. I was terrified, not knowing what to do.
Mr. White never asked about the scratch, even never noticed it. But with time going by, I felt more and more uneasy. Every day I looked up sitting in the classroom, my eyes would involuntarily fall on the scratched surface, cheeks burning with shame. Three days later, I plucked up my courage and told the truth to Mr. White. Patting me gently on the head, he said, “I’m glad you admit it. In fact, I am waiting for your honest conduct. Don’t worry about the punishment. Actually, you’ve suffered a lot since you tried to cover the truth.”

At 98, Dick Van Dyke still sings with his group, The Vantastix, and still makes it all look easy. When asked how important it is that he’s having fun when he’s doing it, Van Dyke replied, “My whole career has relied on that. It’s such a blessing to find a way of making a living that you love. I feel so sorry for people who hate their job. I look forward to going to work every morning!”
And some of his work helped define a generation. Take “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; it ran for five years on CBS, and it was such a hit that they’re bringing it back. This week, CBS aired a two-hour tribute (致敬), “Dick Van Dyke, 98 Years of Magic”, and for the occasion, they recreated the original Dick Van Dyke Show” set, down to that well-known sofa.
Early in his career Van Dyke was quoted as saying he only wanted to make films his children could watch. That got the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly cast him in “Mary Poppins”. And his next few films were equally family-friendly, like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which happened to have been co-written by James Bond creator Ian Fleming. From then on, Van Dyke was almost always assigned to play the good guy, though he claims to have missed out on a choice part: “Yeah, I could have been James Bond. When Sean Connery left, the producer said, ‘Would you like to be the next Bond ’ I said, ‘Have you heard my British accent ’ That’s a true story!”
It seems that in show biz the true legends never stop. In an interview from 2017 with his friends Van Dyke described what it was like hitting 90: “People are more afraid of aging than they are of death these days. And I want to say that remain young in heart and there’s a lot of good living to do.”
4. What can we infer from Dyke’s reply in Paragraph 1
A. He enjoys his job. B. He hates morning work.
C. He sees his job as a burden. D. He prefers leisure to work.
5. What did CBS do for Dyke
A. They created a new set for his show.
B. They bought a famous sofa for him.
C. They made a special program for him.
D. They invited young generation to watch his show.
6. Which statement is true about Dyke’s career
A. His films are rarely family-friendly.
B. His films are only made for his children.
C. Van Dyke was always playing the good guy.
D. Van Dyke had the chance to play James Bond.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Forever Young. B. Work Comes First.
C. Always Have Fun. D. Legends Are Timeless.
C
Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Standford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate (玻色—爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them — explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline—was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students(研究生) who came to work in his lab. When his PH.D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.
A major factor in the graduate students’ transformation, Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors (导师).
Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His aspiration is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.
8. What problem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates
A. Making them excel in the lab. B. Demonstrating lab experiments.
C. Facilitating their all-round development. D. Enhancing their physics problem-solving.
9. Which of the following best describes the graduate students who first joined Wieman’s lab
A. Limited in thinking. B. Resistant to new ideas.
C. Flexible and earnest. D. Experienced and cooperative.
10. What is crucial for developing students’ intelligent thought according to the 2019 study
A. Intense lab work. B. Peer pressure and evaluation.
C. Academic interaction with fellows. D. Engagement with external society.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Transforming Graduates’ Habits B. Carl Wieman’s Nobel Prize Journey
C. The Nobel-Prize Winner’s Struggles D. Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation
D
The growth mindset is the belief that intellectual abilities can be developed and are not fixed, which have received a great deal of attention in schools and among researchers.
According to a study, a teacher’s growth mindset acts as a “support” that can draw out a student's growth mindset at the very beginning and make it maintainable and actionable in the classroom. These teachers may convey how, in their classes, mistakes are learning opportunities, not signs of low ability, and back up this view with assignments and evaluations that reward continual improvement. This could encourage a student to continue acting on their growth mindset.
The study analyzed data from the National Study of Learning Mindset, which was an intervention experiment conducted with a sample of ninth-grade students’ math grades. The present focus on math grades is motivated by the fact that students tend to find math challenging and anxiety inducing, and therefore, a growth mindset might help students face those challenges productively.
In the study, researchers show that the positive effect of a short growth-mindset intervention on ninth-grade students’ math grades was concentrated among students whose teachers themselves had growth mindset. They also found that baseline students — serve as a benchmark (基准点) for comparing and evaluating the progress of other students — who reported more fixed mindset in classrooms showed a significantly positive effect on math grades.
Successfully teaching a growth mindset to students lifted math grades overall, but this was not enough for all students to reap the benefits of a growth-mindset intervention. Supportive classroom contexts also mattered.Students who were in classrooms with teachers who approved of more of a fixed mindset did not show gains in their math grades over ninth grade, whereas the same kind of students in classrooms with more growth-mind set teachers showed meaningful gains.
In general, they view the testing and understanding of the causal effect of teacher mindset as the next step for mindset science. Such research will be challenging to carry out, however.

One spring day, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining brightly. The sky was clear and blue, and the temperature was comfortable. It was a perfect day for a walk outside.
Our teacher Mr. White asked us all to go out of the classroom to enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the natural world. But before Ruby and I were ready to go out to play, Cathy signed to both of us to stop. We were the best sisters, playing together each time.
“Come over, ladies! Guess what I discovered in Mr. White’s locker, with a mysterious smile on her face, Cathy rocked a chalk box with pieces of colorful chalk inside.
“Fabulous! How exciting it would be to write on the blackboard with it!” Ruby exclaimed with curiosity and expectation.
“But we can’t do it without our Mr. White’s permission, “I said timidly.
“Nobody will find it out. If you’re a chicken, you can stand by and just watch. Anyway, Cathy and I would have a try, “said Ruby. She picked out a piece of pink chalk and started to draw a dress.
Not to make them believe I was a chicken, I unwillingly involved myself in the creation of art. Soon I lost myself in the picture drawing though I knew we were breaking the class rule: never touch the teachers’ supplies. A moment later we drew a rainbow, a rabbit and a dinosaur respectively. Then we went on drawing many other objects with our imagination. It was real fun.
Suddenly, I noticed the clock above the blackboard. It pointed to 10: 28, only two minutes to the end of the interval. We must erase all on the blackboard before Mr. White came back. If we were caught, we would be punished by doing the cleaning for the class in the next three days.
In a hurry, I picked up an eraser and started destroying our art pieces. As the chalk was so sticky that it left a heavy sign on the blackboard. I had to rub it carefully.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
