Passage 1（2024·广雅三模）
Do you have trouble creating a big idea 41
Scientists have found a connection between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. 42 They had to think of as many ways as they could. Then, before solving the difficult problem again, they chose to do one of the following things: work out a difficult problem, work out an easy one, or take a 12-minute break.
43 Many students reported that they were daydreaming when doing the easy task. So the scientists believed that daydreaming might help them become more creative.
But how could daydreaming help the brain think creatively 44 Even when you are not actively working on a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about it, but you are unaware of it.
Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. 45

Passage 4（2024·深圳龙华区第二实验学校）
Many of us were told from an early age to learn from our mistakes. 26
The short answer is “yes” and failure (失败) can teach us something. But learning from our mistakes is in fact very hard because we don’t like to fail. 27 For example, we may give up a job easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding mistakes with the job itself.
This is self-protection (自我保护), according to a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. Most of us want to think of ourselves to be excellent, so failure may be bad for our self-image (自我形象).
Luckily, there are studies to suggest that there are some methods of helping us deal with the bad feelings around failure.
28 Instead of asking “Why did I fail ”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail ”, for example. Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings. It allows us to look at failure more positively.
The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation. 29 Both adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors found that helping others could help people understand their experience and what they had learned.
30 But it now seems that we should be saying, “Fail again. Fail more wisely.” Failure can’t be avoided in life. However, we may find the road to success easily by learning.
A. But is this actually true
B. A famous writer once said, “Fail again. Fail better.”
C. Why is it so important for us to learn from mistakes
D. One of them is to use a third-person perspective (视角).
E. This method led to better levels of success in the test groups.
F. It doesn’t feel good, so we respond to failure in emotional (情绪化的) ways.
【答案】26. A 27. F 28. D 29. E 30. B
【解析】本文主要讲述要从错误中吸取教训以及可以帮助我们应对失败带来的不良情绪的一些方法。
26. 根据下文“The short answer is ‘yes’”可知，此处为一般疑问句，选项A“但这真地是真的吗？”符合语境。故选A。
27. 根据上文“But learning from our mistakes is in fact very hard because we don’t like to fail.”及下文“For example, we may give up a job easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding mistakes with the job itself.”可知，我们以情绪化的方式应对失败，选项F“这感觉不好，所以我们以情绪化的方式应对失败。”符合语境。故选F。
28. 根据下文“Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings. It allows us to look at failure more positively.”可知，此处与第三人称视角有关，选项D“其中之一是使用第三人称视角。”符合语境。故选D。
29. 根据上文“The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation.”可知，此处与向可能处于相同情况的其他人提供建议这种方法有关，选项E“这种方法在测试组中取得了更好的成功。”符合语境。故选E。
30. 根据下文“But it now seems that we should be saying, ‘Fail again. Fail more wisely.’”并结合选项可知，此处指再失败一次，更好地失败，选项B“一位著名作家曾说过：‘再失败。更好地失败。’”符合语境。故选B。
Passage 5（2024·龙岗区期末）
Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 26 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念) Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 27 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”.
28
After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 29 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
30 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.”
A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).
B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition.
C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.
D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.
E. On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone.
F. Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育).

B. Practise and learn from mistakes.
C. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well.

Passage 1（2024·广雅三模）
Do you have trouble creating a big idea 41

Then, before solving the difficult problem again, they chose to do one of the following things: work out a difficult problem, work out an easy one, or take a 12-minute break.
43 Many students reported that they were daydreaming when doing the easy task. So the scientists believed that daydreaming might help them become more creative.
But how could daydreaming help the brain think creatively 44 Even when you are not actively working on a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about it, but you are unaware of it.

Passage 3（2024·广实三模）
A taste of the world’s coolest food
Every summer around the world, people wait in lines outside ice cream shops as they look for a tasty way to cool themselves down or cheer themselves up. 41
No one is really sure who invented ice cream. 42 In the 154 century AD, the Roman emperor enjoyed ice with honey and nuts, although this was more like a frozen mixture of water, sugar and fruit juice. One of the first examples of ice made with milk can date back to the Tang Dynasty in China. Ice cream arrived in Europe in the 16th century and quickly became popular in Italy and France.
43 If you go to Germany, you can buy “spaghetti” ice cream which looks like noodles with strawberry sauce and white chocolate on the top. 44 All the things are quickly mixed in and the ice cream is done. There is a special ice cream named Maotai ice cream in China. It chooses fresh milk and add with about 2% of 53℃ Feitian Maotai.
Ice cream is getting more popular across the world. Customers want new, exciting taste, and lots of people are turning to healthier ice cream without dairy milk and cream. 45
A. In Thailand, i-tim-pad is made by pouring mixture onto a freezing plate.
B. Next time you taste ice cream, you’re enjoying food that is thousands of years old.
C. Let’s find out the story behind this delicious taste.

Passage 4（2024·深圳龙华区第二实验学校）
Many of us were told from an early age to learn from our mistakes. 26
The short answer is “yes” and failure (失败) can teach us something. But learning from our mistakes is in fact very hard because we don’t like to fail. 27 For example, we may give up a job easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding mistakes with the job itself.
This is self-protection (自我保护), according to a professor at the Norwegian School of Economics. Most of us want to think of ourselves to be excellent, so failure may be bad for our self-image (自我形象).
Luckily, there are studies to suggest that there are some methods of helping us deal with the bad feelings around failure.
28 Instead of asking “Why did I fail ”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail ”, for example. Many studies show that using a third-person perspective helps to reduce our bad feelings. It allows us to look at failure more positively.
The second method is to offer advice to others who may be in the same situation. 29 Both adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors found that helping others could help people understand their experience and what they had learned.
30 But it now seems that we should be saying, “Fail again. Fail more wisely.” Failure can’t be avoided in life. However, we may find the road to success easily by learning.
A. But is this actually true
B. A famous writer once said, “Fail again. Fail better.”
C. Why is it so important for us to learn from mistakes
D. One of them is to use a third-person perspective (视角).
E. This method led to better levels of success in the test groups.
F. It doesn’t feel good, so we respond to failure in emotional (情绪化的) ways.
Passage 5（2024·龙岗区期末）
Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 26 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念) Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in 1914. 27 . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed (提出) “unity (融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”.
28
After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 29 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal collage (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
30 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.”
A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).
B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition.
C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.
D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.
E. On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone.
F. Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育).
