Nathan Smith is captain of Port Vale FC, and Tom Conlon has just signed for Oldham Athletic of the National League. These two football players, both 27, feel they have a responsibility to pass on lessons they learnt to the next generation.
They founded the Pro Level coaching school in 2021, offering free weekly classes at Keele University, in Staffordshire. To keep the academy run well, they then launched a charity to help children from all backgrounds and abilities get the most from the sport. They see the charity as an “antidote” to the football system, which has been heavily criticised for putting too much pressure on youngsters before many of them are thrown away. Although Nathan and Tom work with the abandoned players, trying to rebuild their confidence and love of the game, they stress that ability is not a criterion for attending the training.
They will provide some vital life lessons along the way, helping young people to overcome their shyness and become better communicators, and also support young players who have been rejected by professional clubs at an early age and feel football has little to offer them.
Tom said, “The sort of coaching shouldn’t just be for those who long to be the stars of the future-all children can benefit from the tactical (战术的), fitness and mentality work we do. Childhood has become increasingly challenging. We are looking to provide a place for all children to feel proud of who they are.”
“I want to offer them the same experience that’s helped shape the person I am now. And we see the children that we are coaching overcome their shyness and lack of confidence. You can see them growing as young people, developing relationship, becoming better communicators and socializing with others, “added Nathan.
Emily Cherry director of the charity, said, “I’ve seen the boys coach and the difference it makes to the children. The kids benefit massively, and not just in terms of soccer skills.”
24. Why did Tom Conlon and Nathan Smith found the coaching school
A. To raise money for children. B. To hunt for professional coaches.
C. To train excellent football players. D. To transform children through football.
25. Which is the closest in meaning to “antidote” in paragraph 2
A. Solution. B. Addition. C. Organisation. D. Shelter
26. What does children need most according to the text
A. Soccer skills. B. Free coaching C. Life skills. D. Physical fitness.
27. What does Emily Cherry think of the coaching school
A. It becomes a hit. B. It needs to be improved.
C. It makes much profit. D. It makes much difference.
C
With the emergence (出现) of intelligent transportation systems and the internet of things, the world is entering the next stage of movement — smart transportation.
In recent years, Chinese technology companies have worked hard to speed up the commercial use of robotaxis. In March, Beijing gave autonomous driving permits to tech giant Baidu and self-driving startup Pony.ai to run fully driverless robotaxis on open roads. In June, Baidu carried out its driverless ride-hailing (叫车) service in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Its Apollo Go robotaxis have been put into use across an area of 188 square kilometers in Shenzhen from 7 am to 10 pm daily.
Passengers can download apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map to their smartphones, and tell the app where they are and where they want to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors and cameras placed all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows how the robotaxi’s software looks at the space around the car to see other cars, humans, bikes, and anything else that might get in its way.
“The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good driving experience,” a user posted on Xiaohongshu. As of the first quarter of 2023, the user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5, with the latest data showing that 97.12 percent of the reviews are five-star ratings.
Meanwhile, drivers in the city can also enjoy the conveniences of smart transportation. In Guiyang, Guizhou, at some smart parking lots, drivers only need to park their cars at an induction (感应) line. A smart system can put the vehicles into a specific area. When drivers want to get back their cars, they make a request on the terminal (终端的) device and the car will come out of the parking lot by itself in about one minute.
All in all, smart transportation uses new technologies to make moving around a city easier and safer.
28. What do we know from paragraph 2
A. Baidu competes fiercely against Pony.
B. Robotaxis begin to run in some cities in China.
C. Robotaxis can run on open roads without driving permits.
D. Tech companies do little research on smart transportation.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How to work robotaxis. B. Why to use smartphones.
C. Where to download apps. D. Who to control computers.
30. What is the purpose of listing the numbers in paragraph 4
A. To compare speed ratings. B. To show the users’ satisfaction.
C. To check the safety of robotaxis. D. To introduce a driving experience,
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Robotaxis: A New Development B. Smart transportation: A Better Life
C. Giant Baidu: A Leader in Technology D. Tech companies: Hope for the Future
D
Some are concerned that AI tools are turning language learning into a weakening pursuit. More and more people are using simple, free tools, not only to decode text but also to speak. With these apps’ conversation mode, you talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later; the app can also listen for another language and produce a translation in yours.
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of on-going contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti without incident.
Douglas Hofstadter, an expert in many languages, has argued that something profound (深刻的) will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a broken, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of satisfaction at the end.
As AI translation becomes an even more popular labor-saving tool, people can be divided into two groups. There will be those who want to stretch their minds, expose themselves to other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This group will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and puzzlement, as they might with extreme endurance (耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing the benefits of close relationships to heart-health but overlooking the inherent (固有的) value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or ruin a joke in broken German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put delicate differences on an argument, that connection is more profound still. The best relationships do not require a medium.
32. What is the first two paragraphs mainly about
A Communicating through apps is simple.
B. Apps provide a one-way interactive process.
C. Using apps becomes more and more popular.
D. AI tools weaken the needs of language learning.
33 What is Douglas’ attitude to language learning
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear
34. What do we know about the second group mentioned in paragraph 4
A. They are keen on foreign culture.
B. They long to join in endurance sports.
C. They find Al tools too complex to operate.
D. They lack the motivation to learn language.
35. How does the author highlight his argument in the last paragraph
A. By providing examples. B. By explaining concepts.
C. By stating reasons. D. By offering advice.

How to deal with decision paralysis (瘫痪)
If you’ve ever gone online to order something during a work break-let’s say a new electric toothbrush-expecting it to be fairly easy, but instead you found yourself overwhelmed by the huge number of choices available, you’ve experienced decision paralysis.
You’re shocked that there are so many factors to consider; not only the basics, such as price and delivery time, but there are many other factors like battery duration, warning lights for too much pressure and even fancy apps. _____36_____
This is just one example of decision paralysis-when the huge number of choices and the difficulty of weighing the supermarket up-leads you to freeze. It used to be thought that increased choice could only be a good thing for consumers and they would welcome it, but actually it can bring the opposite effect and cause people to walk away. _____37_____ Perhaps you only have two or three choices, but the risk of making the wrong decision can be paralysing, such as choosing between university places and job offers.
_____38_____ One is to recognise that there is rarely any such thing as the perfect decision. Another is to acknowledge that not making a decision is actually a decision-so don’t kid yourself that endlessly procrastinating(拖延)is the easy solution.
If you’re willing to put in the effort, a practical approach is to reduce the mental complexity involved in a decision by doing a little research. _____39_____ In the case of the toothbrush, this might be price first and then battery duration; in the case of choosing a university it might be fame first, then friends who are also planning to study there, and lastly the distance to home. Score the available choices against those factors, giving greater weight to those that are higher priority. _____40_____
A. You could always make a random choice.
B. Make some brief notes about the prior factors to you.
C. There are various ways to overcome decision paralysis.
D. You’ll end up with a score showing you the most favourable decision.
E. The clock is ticking on your break and it’s impossible to make a decision.
F. This is all that you’ll miss out on once you choose to go down a particular path.
G. In other life situations, it might be the weight of the decision that bears down on you.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Elsie watched her older brothers, Edward and Samuel, who were smiling while they held their spelling bee awards and stood at the front of the one-room schoolhouse.
The pale winter sun came through the window and washed the room in a soft light. Heat came from the wood-burning warming stove, and the little wooden schoolhouse was comfortable and warm despite the December weather.
The students could hear the rushing sound of the nearby stream flowing over the rocks. The air smelled salty from the sea, mixed with a sweet smell of fir trees.
Elsie smiled and clapped her hands with the other six students, but inside she felt a strange sadness. Every time she tried to be as good as Edward and Samuel she did not succeed.
She reached down to touch the ears of her puppy dog, Bear. He rewarded her with a stare of love, eyes shining against his thick dark fur.
“What is wrong with me ” her twelve-year-old heart asked her. She knew she was no longer a child. But she was not quite an adult either. Part of her felt and thought with childish ways. But she could tell another part of her mind was more like an adult.
“Congratulations, Edward and Samuel,” Jeanie, her teacher said. “You have been equally matched for the spelling bee champions.” “Those were difficult words. You both deserve to win.”
“When am I going to win something ” she thought. “Why is it always them ”
She felt small, forgotten and alone while the other kids went up to congratulate Edward, age 15, and Samuel, age 17.
She thought about her efforts to try to catch up to Edward and Samuel. Elsie wondered if she would ever be able to do what they did, and have her parents proud of her, too.
“Reading time,” said Jeanie. Elsie thought about the way her teacher taught the group, each person reading out loud for practice.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Jeanie saw Elsie looking low in spirits and knew Elsie was a sensitive child.

Paragraph 2:
Another Spelling Bee competition was coming and Elsie decided to try out for it.

Learning through Traveling
Traveling has the unique ability to broaden our horizons and deepen our understanding of the world, allowing us to experience new cultures, perspectives, and ways of life.
I recently visited the captivating city of Beijing, the heart of China’s rich history and culture. From the Forbidden City to the bustling hutongs, not only did I experience a tapestry of sights, sounds, and traditions, but I was struck by the hospitality and warmth of the local people. Their culture, with its emphasis on family, community, and tradition, taught me valuable lessons about the importance of roots and heritage.
This trip taught me that traveling is not just about seeing new places, but also about learning new ways of thinking and understanding. It opens our eyes to the beauty of diversity and allows us to embrace the world with a more open mind.
Paragraph 1：
Jeanie saw Elsie looking low in spirit and knew Elsie was a sensitive child. She always noticed the quiet girl sitting in the corner, watching her brothers with a mixture of admiration and envy. Jeanie approached Elsie and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Elsie, you are a bright girl with so much potential,” she said gently, “Do not be so hard on yourself. Each person has their own path in life.” Elsie looked up at Jeanie, tears in her eyes. She appreciated the teacher’s kindness and understanding, knowing that she was not alone in her feelings of inadequacy.
Paragraph 2：
Another Spelling Bee competition was coming and Elsie decided to try out for it. She had practiced hard and was determined to show everyone what she could do. As she stood in front of the class, microphone in hand, she focused on the words the judge gave her. With a deep breath, she spelled them correctly. The class applauded, and the judge smiled in approval. Elsie smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment unlike any other. She had proven to herself that she was capable of more than she ever imagined. It didn’t matter if she won or lost; what mattered was that she had taken a step forward and shown her true self.

Nathan Smith is captain of Port Vale FC, and Tom Conlon has just signed for Oldham Athletic of the National League. These two football players, both 27, feel they have a responsibility to pass on lessons they learnt to the next generation.
They founded the Pro Level coaching school in 2021, offering free weekly classes at Keele University, in Staffordshire. To keep the academy run well, they then launched a charity to help children from all backgrounds and abilities get the most from the sport. They see the charity as an “antidote” to the football system, which has been heavily criticised for putting too much pressure on youngsters before many of them are thrown away. Although Nathan and Tom work with the abandoned players, trying to rebuild their confidence and love of the game, they stress that ability is not a criterion for attending the training.
They will provide some vital life lessons along the way, helping young people to overcome their shyness and become better communicators, and also support young players who have been rejected by professional clubs at an early age and feel football has little to offer them.
Tom said, “The sort of coaching shouldn’t just be for those who long to be the stars of the future-all children can benefit from the tactical (战术的), fitness and mentality work we do. Childhood has become increasingly challenging. We are looking to provide a place for all children to feel proud of who they are.”
“I want to offer them the same experience that’s helped shape the person I am now. And we see the children that we are coaching overcome their shyness and lack of confidence. You can see them growing as young people, developing relationship, becoming better communicators and socializing with others, “added Nathan.
Emily Cherry director of the charity, said, “I’ve seen the boys coach and the difference it makes to the children. The kids benefit massively, and not just in terms of soccer skills.”
24. Why did Tom Conlon and Nathan Smith found the coaching school
A. To raise money for children. B. To hunt for professional coaches.
C. To train excellent football players. D. To transform children through football.
25. Which is the closest in meaning to “antidote” in paragraph 2
A. Solution. B. Addition. C. Organisation. D. Shelter
26. What does children need most according to the text
A. Soccer skills. B. Free coaching C. Life skills. D. Physical fitness.
27. What does Emily Cherry think of the coaching school
A. It becomes a hit. B. It needs to be improved.
C. It makes much profit. D. It makes much difference.
C
With the emergence (出现) of intelligent transportation systems and the internet of things, the world is entering the next stage of movement — smart transportation.
In recent years, Chinese technology companies have worked hard to speed up the commercial use of robotaxis. In March, Beijing gave autonomous driving permits to tech giant Baidu and self-driving startup Pony.ai to run fully driverless robotaxis on open roads. In June, Baidu carried out its driverless ride-hailing (叫车) service in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Its Apollo Go robotaxis have been put into use across an area of 188 square kilometers in Shenzhen from 7 am to 10 pm daily.
Passengers can download apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map to their smartphones, and tell the app where they are and where they want to go. Then, a car will appear. With sensors and cameras placed all over the car, a computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows how the robotaxi’s software looks at the space around the car to see other cars, humans, bikes, and anything else that might get in its way.
“The robotaxi goes at about the same speed, providing a good driving experience,” a user posted on Xiaohongshu. As of the first quarter of 2023, the user satisfaction rating for the Apollo Go app has reached 4.9 out of 5, with the latest data showing that 97.12 percent of the reviews are five-star ratings.
Meanwhile, drivers in the city can also enjoy the conveniences of smart transportation. In Guiyang, Guizhou, at some smart parking lots, drivers only need to park their cars at an induction (感应) line. A smart system can put the vehicles into a specific area. When drivers want to get back their cars, they make a request on the terminal (终端的) device and the car will come out of the parking lot by itself in about one minute.
All in all, smart transportation uses new technologies to make moving around a city easier and safer.
28. What do we know from paragraph 2
A. Baidu competes fiercely against Pony.
B. Robotaxis begin to run in some cities in China.
C. Robotaxis can run on open roads without driving permits.
D. Tech companies do little research on smart transportation.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. How to work robotaxis. B. Why to use smartphones.
C. Where to download apps. D. Who to control computers.
30. What is the purpose of listing the numbers in paragraph 4
A. To compare speed ratings. B. To show the users’ satisfaction.
C. To check the safety of robotaxis. D. To introduce a driving experience,
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Robotaxis: A New Development B. Smart transportation: A Better Life
C. Giant Baidu: A Leader in Technology D. Tech companies: Hope for the Future
D
Some are concerned that AI tools are turning language learning into a weakening pursuit. More and more people are using simple, free tools, not only to decode text but also to speak. With these apps’ conversation mode, you talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later; the app can also listen for another language and produce a translation in yours.
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of on-going contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti without incident.
Douglas Hofstadter, an expert in many languages, has argued that something profound (深刻的) will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a broken, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of satisfaction at the end.
As AI translation becomes an even more popular labor-saving tool, people can be divided into two groups. There will be those who want to stretch their minds, expose themselves to other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This group will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and puzzlement, as they might with extreme endurance (耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing the benefits of close relationships to heart-health but overlooking the inherent (固有的) value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or ruin a joke in broken German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put delicate differences on an argument, that connection is more profound still. The best relationships do not require a medium.
32. What is the first two paragraphs mainly about
A Communicating through apps is simple.
B. Apps provide a one-way interactive process.
C. Using apps becomes more and more popular.
D. AI tools weaken the needs of language learning.
33 What is Douglas’ attitude to language learning
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear
34. What do we know about the second group mentioned in paragraph 4
A. They are keen on foreign culture.
B. They long to join in endurance sports.
C. They find Al tools too complex to operate.
D. They lack the motivation to learn language.
35. How does the author highlight his argument in the last paragraph
A. By providing examples. B. By explaining concepts.
C. By stating reasons. D. By offering advice.

How to deal with decision paralysis (瘫痪)
If you’ve ever gone online to order something during a work break-let’s say a new electric toothbrush-expecting it to be fairly easy, but instead you found yourself overwhelmed by the huge number of choices available, you’ve experienced decision paralysis.
You’re shocked that there are so many factors to consider; not only the basics, such as price and delivery time, but there are many other factors like battery duration, warning lights for too much pressure and even fancy apps. _____36_____
This is just one example of decision paralysis-when the huge number of choices and the difficulty of weighing the supermarket up-leads you to freeze. It used to be thought that increased choice could only be a good thing for consumers and they would welcome it, but actually it can bring the opposite effect and cause people to walk away. _____37_____ Perhaps you only have two or three choices, but the risk of making the wrong decision can be paralysing, such as choosing between university places and job offers.
_____38_____ One is to recognise that there is rarely any such thing as the perfect decision. Another is to acknowledge that not making a decision is actually a decision-so don’t kid yourself that endlessly procrastinating(拖延)is the easy solution.
If you’re willing to put in the effort, a practical approach is to reduce the mental complexity involved in a decision by doing a little research. _____39_____ In the case of the toothbrush, this might be price first and then battery duration; in the case of choosing a university it might be fame first, then friends who are also planning to study there, and lastly the distance to home. Score the available choices against those factors, giving greater weight to those that are higher priority. _____40_____
A. You could always make a random choice.
B. Make some brief notes about the prior factors to you.
C. There are various ways to overcome decision paralysis.
D. You’ll end up with a score showing you the most favourable decision.
E. The clock is ticking on your break and it’s impossible to make a decision.
F. This is all that you’ll miss out on once you choose to go down a particular path.
G. In other life situations, it might be the weight of the decision that bears down on you.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Elsie watched her older brothers, Edward and Samuel, who were smiling while they held their spelling bee awards and stood at the front of the one-room schoolhouse.
The pale winter sun came through the window and washed the room in a soft light. Heat came from the wood-burning warming stove, and the little wooden schoolhouse was comfortable and warm despite the December weather.
The students could hear the rushing sound of the nearby stream flowing over the rocks. The air smelled salty from the sea, mixed with a sweet smell of fir trees.
Elsie smiled and clapped her hands with the other six students, but inside she felt a strange sadness. Every time she tried to be as good as Edward and Samuel she did not succeed.
She reached down to touch the ears of her puppy dog, Bear. He rewarded her with a stare of love, eyes shining against his thick dark fur.
“What is wrong with me ” her twelve-year-old heart asked her. She knew she was no longer a child. But she was not quite an adult either. Part of her felt and thought with childish ways. But she could tell another part of her mind was more like an adult.
“Congratulations, Edward and Samuel,” Jeanie, her teacher said. “You have been equally matched for the spelling bee champions.” “Those were difficult words. You both deserve to win.”
“When am I going to win something ” she thought. “Why is it always them ”
She felt small, forgotten and alone while the other kids went up to congratulate Edward, age 15, and Samuel, age 17.
She thought about her efforts to try to catch up to Edward and Samuel. Elsie wondered if she would ever be able to do what they did, and have her parents proud of her, too.
“Reading time,” said Jeanie. Elsie thought about the way her teacher taught the group, each person reading out loud for practice.

Learning through Traveling
Traveling has the unique ability to broaden our horizons and deepen our understanding of the world, allowing us to experience new cultures, perspectives, and ways of life.
I recently visited the captivating city of Beijing, the heart of China’s rich history and culture. From the Forbidden City to the bustling hutongs, not only did I experience a tapestry of sights, sounds, and traditions, but I was struck by the hospitality and warmth of the local people. Their culture, with its emphasis on family, community, and tradition, taught me valuable lessons about the importance of roots and heritage.
This trip taught me that traveling is not just about seeing new places, but also about learning new ways of thinking and understanding. It opens our eyes to the beauty of diversity and allows us to embrace the world with a more open mind.
Paragraph 1：
Jeanie saw Elsie looking low in spirit and knew Elsie was a sensitive child. She always noticed the quiet girl sitting in the corner, watching her brothers with a mixture of admiration and envy. Jeanie approached Elsie and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Elsie, you are a bright girl with so much potential,” she said gently, “Do not be so hard on yourself. Each person has their own path in life.” Elsie looked up at Jeanie, tears in her eyes. She appreciated the teacher’s kindness and understanding, knowing that she was not alone in her feelings of inadequacy.
Paragraph 2：
Another Spelling Bee competition was coming and Elsie decided to try out for it. She had practiced hard and was determined to show everyone what she could do. As she stood in front of the class, microphone in hand, she focused on the words the judge gave her. With a deep breath, she spelled them correctly. The class applauded, and the judge smiled in approval. Elsie smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment unlike any other. She had proven to herself that she was capable of more than she ever imagined. It didn’t matter if she won or lost; what mattered was that she had taken a step forward and shown her true self.
