Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
To learn to think is to learn to question.Those who don’t question never truly think for themselves.These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought.Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones.Unfortunately， it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought.Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world， often incorrectly.He was so respected by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his death， scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them.
Brilliant minds can intimidate up-and-coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities.They often believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such as Aristotle， leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them.
I like many thinkers of the past， once believed in my mental weakness.I didn’t question what was written on those pages.I respected them， and accepted whatever they told me.But that attitude soon changed.My mind’s independence was first developed in the classroom.
A 65-year-old science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave.I confidently believed that light is a wave.One day， however， I heard the German exchange student mentioned that light could be made up of particles （粒子）.As the others laughed at his statement （陈述）， I started to question my beliefs.
Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn’t given me the whole story.I went to the library， did some research and learned of the light-as-a-wave vs light-as-a-particle debate.I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.
Each new year brought more new facts， and I had even more questions.I found myself in the library after school， trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew.Even textbooks can be challenged.I learned to question my sources.I learned to be a thinker.
Questions are said to be the path to truth， and I plan to continue questioning.How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future？ I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole.This knowledge may change in the next 20 years.The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery.Questions are the tools of open minds， and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.
1.In the first paragraph， why is Aristotle taken as an example？（ ）
A.To show he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all time.
B.To show advancements are made when thinkers question theories.
C.To show great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them.
D.To show huge influence of great thinkers may block human thought.

High engagement， high return.That’s the advice from education experts at the University of South Australia for teachers looking to improve student outcomes.
Filming and assessing （评估） the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria， researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple question and answers， taking notes， or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level.Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complicated learning， limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem — solving.
Unisa researcher， Dr.Stephenson， highlights teachers need more support to plan interactive and constructive lessons that promote deep learning.“The greater the engagement， the deeper the learning.Deep learning requites the organization of knowledge into conceptual structures， which improves information memory and learning outcomes.It also supports the development of innovative thinking.Even small changes to teachers’ existing lesson plans and teaching methods can vastly increase student engagement and overall results，” he says.
“At a base level， teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning.Take for example， watching a video.Students can silently watch a video （which is ‘passive’）， watch a video and take notes using the presenter’s words （which is ‘active’）， write questions that occur for them while watching the video （which is ‘constructive’）， or watch a video and discuss it with another student to generate different ideas （which is ‘interactive’）.Interactive engagement in classrooms motivates students to develop deeper understanding.They’re making judgments， suggesting and commenting on arguments and opinions， and working out solutions to problems，” Dr.Stephenson says.
Interestingly， many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate different modes of student engagement.“Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student learning，” Dr.Stephenson says.“Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.”
5.What does the underlined word “superficial” in Paragraph 2 mean？（ ）
A.Shallow. B.Productive.
C.Confusing. D.Challenging.
6.What are most student in-class tasks like according to the study？（ ）
A.They make classes lively and fun.
B.They achieve no desired results.
C.They contribute to students’ deep thinking.
D.They stop students from concentration.
7.If students attend a lesson about Western and Eastern cultures， which activity works best？（ ）
A.A group debate. B.A film screening.
C.A reading contest. D.A retelling exercise.
8.What does Dr.Stephenson suggest teachers do for better student outcomes？（ ）
A.Increase class activities.
B.Interact with students more often.
C.Upgrade teaching strategies.
D.Engage students in more self-study.

It’s a little before 8 am when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts.He walks down the hall towards the office to sign in.It’s the same routine he’s had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century.“It’s going to be a good day，” a colleague calls out.“It’s a good day.” They hug.It seems like a typical Friday — except that it’s not.After 23 years at Jenner Elementary，Schergen is retiring.Even on his last day，there are still art projects to finish.
Schergen leaves behind a rich legacy at this school.He’s won grants （拨款） for art projects.He turned an empty classroom into a museum.He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives.And he was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in Chicago.But it wasn’t always easy.For years， Schergen taught in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods.“When I first got my room，I noticed there were bullet holes in the window.That made me nervous，” he says.So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of funny”.“I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year，” he says.“I didn’t want her to know.”
With one hour to go， Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes， one of his best helpers，has watched him say goodbye all day.He wanders in the doorway.“Ah，come here，son，” Schergen says， signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”
When Deontae leaves， a reporter asks Schergen，“When your kids ask why you’re retiring，what do you tell them？” “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too，” he says.“I have other things in my life I have to do.It’s time.It’s just time.”
9.Why is it a special Friday for Schergen？（ ）
A.He was retiring on that day.
B.He won an honor for his school.
C.He was interviewed by a reporter.
D.He received a Golden Apple award.
10.What does the underlined word “legacy” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（ ）
A.Art projects.
B.Great achievements.
C.Respect from students.
D.Change in teaching.
11.What made Schergen nervous when he first got to the school？（ ）
A.Safety concerns in the school.
B.The poorly-equipped classroom.
C.Being misunderstood by his family.
D.Students’ poor academic performance.
12.What is the best title for the text？（ ）
A.A Typical Day for an Art Teacher
B.Time for Art Projects
C.A Teacher’s Final Day at School
D.The Last Art Class

Emotional energy is a relatively new term to describe our vitality （活力）.13.（ ） If we feel that some situations drain （耗尽） us， then it’s because they take away all our vitality in matters that are insignificant， but ones that do require effort.They’re situations that only distract us from what’s truly important， and from the things that enrich us.Let’s learn to identify them and avoid them.
Arguments about insignificant issues
A debate is a great opportunity to present your own points of view and learn from other’s opinions.However， something very different happens when two people get into a pointless argument.14.（ ）
Gossip
15.（ ） This sort of curiosity is no more than a sign of a lack of identity.Whoever gossips about others looks for themselves in other people.The thing is， they just can’t find themselves.
Worrying over and over again
One of the situations that drain our emotional energy is unstoppable doubt.This is when we think and think but only come up with “ifs” and “buts”.We try to find the right answer or make the right decision just by reflection.16.（ ）
Need for approval
We’re constantly trying to get other people’s approval.17.（ ） Instead of investing time to explore who we are， whether others like us or not， we just spend our time doing things that other people want us to do.Generally， people either accept you or they don’t， and sometimes for reasons that are completely beyond your control.
A.By doing this we’re just cheating ourselves.
B.Vitality is the strength that we have before tiredness sets in.
C.We spend so much time worrying about things that it blurs our vision of life.
D.We go on and on about the same problem， without actually doing anything to solve it.
E.The only purpose of it is to “beat the other person”， and express their own points of view.
F.However， we forget that many answers come only when we combine thought and action.
G.Sticking our noses into other’s private lives， instead of our own， drains our emotional energy.
Ⅲ.语法填空

语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了质疑对智力成长和知识进步的重要性。只有人们质疑以前的理论并提出新的理论时，我们的社会才可以取得进步。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Unfortunately， it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought.可知，作者用亚里士多德的例子是为了表明伟大思想家的巨大影响可能会阻碍人们的想法。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可推知，这些新人对自己的能力不自信，因此不敢提出挑战、质疑伟大思想家的思想，最后选择接受。再结合语境可推测，画线词意为“使害怕”。
3.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可推知，质疑是促进进步的必要条件。
4.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可推知，作者决定成为一个善于思考和质疑的人。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学生成功的秘诀：参与度越高，学习就越深入，教师应该进行专业发展，将他们的思维转变为支持学生更深入学习和更好结果的实践。
5.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在句可知，破折号后对superficial学习进行了解释，对比让学生进行更深层次的活动，老师让学生进行浅显的学习。由此推测，画线词意为“浅的”。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，根据研究，大多数学生的课堂任务没有达到预期的结果。
7.A 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，如果学生参加有关西方和东方文化的课程，进行小组辩论活动效果最好。

12.C 标题归纳题。根据第一段最后两句以及下文对Schergen职业生涯的回顾以及离开学校前的举动的描述可知，本文主要讲述了一位小学艺术老师退休前最后一天上班的情景。因此C项为本文最佳标题。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何识别并避免那些消耗我们情感能量的情况，包括无意义的争论、说闲话、反复忧虑和渴望得到认可等。
13.B 上文提到情感能量与活力的关系，B项（活力是我们在疲劳到来之前所拥有的力量）承接上文，进一步补充信息，解释什么是活力。
14.E 上文指出当辩论变成争论时就完全不一样了，E项（它的唯一目的是“击败对方”，并表达自己的观点）承接上文，说明争论只是为了获胜，不像辩论，还可以从别人的观点中学习，其中代词it指代上文中a pointless argument。

21.performers 考查名词的单复数。根据句意可知，他的父母都是剧院演员。故填performers。

Tuesdays with Morrie
Despite① being a sports journalist② with a successful career ahead of him， Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life.This all changes when he is reunited with③ his favourite college professor， Morrie Schwartz.[1] On discovering that Morrie is being weakened④ by a severe⑤ illness， Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays.The weekly conversations⑥ between Mitch and Morrie result in a series of⑦ lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it.
[1]on doing表示“一……就……”，相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。
Arthur K ☆☆☆☆☆
This book is about dying， but it is not pessimistic⑧.Indeed， it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with⑨ joy and hope.Morrie’s bravery⑩ towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more.In fact， far from being a book about death， it’s a book about life.As Morrie says， “Once you learn how to die， you learn how to live.”[2] As Morrie anticipates his own death， he observes everything as though through new eyes — the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. [3] From his window， he watches each season change， knowing it could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have， and to make the most of each day.
[2]本句为复合句，as 意为“当……时”，引导时间状语从句。as though相当于as if，意为“似乎，好像……”，引导方式状语从句。
[3]本句为简单句，knowing it could be his last 为动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
Amy Wang ☆☆☆☆☆
I think this book should be on all school reading lists .[4] After finishing it， I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. On the 11th Tuesday， Morrie explains that “ ...the big things — how we think， what we value — those you must choose yourself.You can’t let anyone — or any society — determine those for you”.While we are living， we tend to get distracted by unimportant things， such as gathering material possessions .[5] I think it’s important for young people to know that making a lot of money won’t always make them happy， or that looking different doesn’t make a person abnormal ！ It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.
Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”， even when they’re doing things they think are important.Reading this book made me feel as if I’d been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world！
[4]本句为简单句，after在此为介词，意为“在……之后”，finishing it作介词after的宾语。
[5]本句为复合句，I think为句子的主谓语，it’s important for young people to ...为省略了that的宾语从句；在宾语从句中，that making a lot of money won’t always make them happy和that looking different doesn’t make a person abnormal是or连接的并列结构，作know的宾语。
Marty ☆☆☆☆☆
[6] Despite its widespread recognition ， my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages， many of which are repeated. But thinking back， it did teach me a lesson or two.The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.Although it isn’t my favourite book， I’d still recommend that people read it — after all， it is something that’s a bit different！
[6]本句为复合句，despite引导让步状语；that引导表语从句，作was的表语；many of which are repeated 为“代词＋of＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词thoughts and messages。
Vivian ☆☆☆☆☆
Warning！ A box of tissues will be needed to get through this book！Morrie’s reflections on love and friendship made me think about my life and all the good friends that I’ve lost touch with along the way.It made me realise just how much I miss them.
I guess that’s one of the lessons of the book — always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.[7] Like Mitch， Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full ， knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could. [8] As Morrie’s favourite poet Auden said， “Love each other or perish.”
[7]本句为复合句，其中that you want to die为that引导的宾语从句；feeling that you have lived life to the full， knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could 为动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
[8]本句为复合句，as 引导非限制性定语从句，意为“正如……”。

《相约星期二》
米奇·阿尔博姆是一位前途光明的体育新闻记者，可他总觉得生活里少了些什么。直到和最喜爱的大学教授莫里·施瓦茨重逢，他的心态才彻底改变。米奇得知莫里得了重病，日渐虚弱，便每周二都去教授家看望他。米奇和莫里每周的谈话最终成为一堂堂课，探讨人生意义和如何更好地生活。
阿瑟·K
虽然这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。书里洋溢着欢乐和希望，很是让人惊喜。莫里面对死亡所展示出的无畏也给人很大的启发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。实际上，这根本不是一本关于死亡的书，而是一本关于生活的书。正如莫里所说：“懂得了怎样死亡，也就学会了怎样生活。”到了弥留之际，莫里开始用新的眼光看待周围的一切事物——一切都显得更加美好，也有了新的意义。他在窗边看季节更替，知道这可能是生命最后的时光。这鼓励我们珍视自己所拥有的一切，充分利用每一天。
埃米·王
我认为这本书应该列入所有学校阅读书目。读完后，我觉得自己对世界有了更深刻的认识，可以从不同的角度看待事物了。在第11个星期二，莫里说道：“……在重要的问题上，比如如何思考、我们珍视什么等方面，你必须自己做选择。你不能让任何人或社会替你做决定。”在我们活着的时候，我们往往会被不重要的事物分散注意力，例如积累物质财富。我认为对于年轻人来说，重要的是明白赚很多钱并不总能带来快乐，看上去与众不同并不代表不正常。我们应该靠自己去弄清楚生命中什么才是最重要的，并树立我们自己的价值观。
莫里说即使大多数人在做自认为重要的事情，他们也是“看上去半睡半醒”的。阅读这本书仿佛将我从长觉中唤醒了，让我终于开始睁眼看世界！
马蒂
尽管《相约星期二》这本书得到了广泛的认可，但是我的第一印象是，它只是传达了过于感性的思想和信息，其中有很多是重复的。不过现在回想起来，这本书确实给了我一两条经验，它能让我停下来思考流行文化对我的影响，以及在爱与开放式沟通的基础上树立自己的价值观有多么重要。虽然这不是我最爱的一本书，但我还是要推荐大家读一读，毕竟它有与众不同的地方！
薇薇安
注意了！读这本书时，千万要准备一盒纸巾！莫里对于爱和友谊的思考，使我想起了自己的生活，想起一路走来失去联系的那些好友。我才意识到，原来自己如此想念他们。
在人生旅途中，要和你遇到的优秀的人时常保持联系，这或许就是此书想传达给我们的一条经验吧。莫里提醒米奇，也提醒了人们：在你将死之时，要感觉你已经活得很充实，要知道自己是被爱的，也一直尽力爱着别人。正如莫里最爱的诗人奥登所说的，“不相爱即如死灭”。

Arthur K ☆☆☆☆☆
This book is about dying， but it is not pessimistic⑧.Indeed， it was
a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with⑨ joy and
hope.Morrie’s bravery⑩ towards the end of his life is inspirational and
has made me value my own life more.In fact， far from being a book
about death， it’s a book about life.As Morrie says， “Once you learn
how to die， you learn how to live.”[2] As Morrie anticipates his own
death， he observes everything as though through new eyes — the things
around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings.
[3] From his window， he watches each season change， knowing it
could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have， and
to make the most of each day.

Amy Wang ☆☆☆☆☆
I think this book should be on all school reading lists .[4] After
finishing it， I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and
can see things from a different point of view.
On the 11th Tuesday， Morrie explains that “ ...the big things — how
we think， what we value — those you must choose yourself.You
can’t let anyone — or any society — determine those for you”.While
we are living， we tend to get distracted by unimportant things， such
as gathering material possessions .[5] I think it’s important for young
people to know that making a lot of money won’t always make them
happy， or that looking different doesn’t make a person abnormal ！
It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our
own values.
Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”， even when
they’re doing things they think are important.Reading this book made me
feel as if I’d been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes
to the world！
[4]本句为简单句，after在此为介词，意为“在……之后”，
finishing it作介词after的宾语。
[5]本句为复合句，I think为句子的主谓语，it’s important for
young people to ...为省略了that的宾语从句；在宾语从句中，that
making a lot of money won’t always make them happy和that looking
different doesn’t make a person abnormal是or连接的并列结构，作
know的宾语。
on reading lists在阅读清单上
insight n.洞悉，了解（常与介词into连用）
value v.重视；珍视
n.价值
determine v.决定
determined adj.下定决心的
determination n.决心
tend to 倾向于；有助于
get distracted by分心
possession n.财产，财物
abnormal adj.不正常的，反常的
normal adj.典型的；正常的
up to取决于；由……决定
establish v.建立；创立；确立
[6] Despite its widespread recognition ， my first impression
was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over-
emotional thoughts and messages， many of which are repeated. But
thinking back， it did teach me a lesson or two.The book made me stop
and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the
importance of creating my own values based on love and open
communication.Although it isn’t my favourite book， I’d still
recommend that people read it — after all， it is something that’s a bit
different！
Marty ☆☆☆☆☆
[6]本句为复合句，despite引导让步状语；that引导表语从句，作
was的表语；many of which are repeated 为“代词＋of＋关系代词”引
导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词thoughts and messages。
widespread adj.广泛流传的
recognition n.承认，认可
impression n.印象
impress v.给……留下深刻的印象
impressive adj.给人印象深刻的
be made up of 由……组成
a collection of 一系列
recommend v.建议；推荐
Vivian ☆☆☆☆☆
Warning！ A box of tissues will be needed to get through this
book！Morrie’s reflections on love and friendship made me think about
my life and all the good friends that I’ve lost touch with along the
way.It made me realise just how much I miss them.
I guess that’s one of the lessons of the book — always keep in touch
with the good people you meet as you go through life.[7] Like
Mitch， Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you
have lived life to the full ， knowing that you are loved and have loved
others as much as you could. [8] As Morrie’s favourite poet Auden
said， “Love each other or perish.”
[7]本句为复合句，其中that you want to die为that引导的宾语从
句；feeling that you have lived life to the full， knowing that you are
loved and have loved others as much as you could 为动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
[8]本句为复合句，as 引导非限制性定语从句，意为“正
如……”。
get through完成；结束
reflection n.思考；反映
reflect v.反映；显示；表明

过得充实
米奇·阿尔博姆是一位前途光明的体育新闻记者，可他总觉得生活
里少了些什么。直到和最喜爱的大学教授莫里·施瓦茨重逢，他的心态
才彻底改变。米奇得知莫里得了重病，日渐虚弱，便每周二都去教授
家看望他。米奇和莫里每周的谈话最终成为一堂堂课，探讨人生意义
和如何更好地生活。
【参考译文】
《相约星期二》
阿瑟·K
虽然这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。书里洋溢着欢乐和希
望，很是让人惊喜。莫里面对死亡所展示出的无畏也给人很大的启
发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。实际上，这根本不是一本关于死亡的
书，而是一本关于生活的书。正如莫里所说：“懂得了怎样死亡，也
就学会了怎样生活。”到了弥留之际，莫里开始用新的眼光看待周围
的一切事物——一切都显得更加美好，也有了新的意义。他在窗边看
季节更替，知道这可能是生命最后的时光。这鼓励我们珍视自己所拥
有的一切，充分利用每一天。
埃米·王
我认为这本书应该列入所有学校阅读书目。读完后，我觉得自己
对世界有了更深刻的认识，可以从不同的角度看待事物了。在第11个
星期二，莫里说道：“……在重要的问题上，比如如何思考、我们珍
视什么等方面，你必须自己做选择。你不能让任何人或社会替你做决
定。”在我们活着的时候，我们往往会被不重要的事物分散注意力，
例如积累物质财富。我认为对于年轻人来说，重要的是明白赚很多钱
并不总能带来快乐，看上去与众不同并不代表不正常。我们应该靠自
己去弄清楚生命中什么才是最重要的，并树立我们自己的价值观。
莫里说即使大多数人在做自认为重要的事情，他们也是“看上去
半睡半醒”的。阅读这本书仿佛将我从长觉中唤醒了，让我终于开始
睁眼看世界！
马蒂
尽管《相约星期二》这本书得到了广泛的认可，但是我的第一印
象是，它只是传达了过于感性的思想和信息，其中有很多是重复的。
不过现在回想起来，这本书确实给了我一两条经验，它能让我停下来
思考流行文化对我的影响，以及在爱与开放式沟通的基础上树立自己
的价值观有多么重要。虽然这不是我最爱的一本书，但我还是要推荐
大家读一读，毕竟它有与众不同的地方！
薇薇安
注意了！读这本书时，千万要准备一盒纸巾！莫里对于爱和友谊
的思考，使我想起了自己的生活，想起一路走来失去联系的那些好
友。我才意识到，原来自己如此想念他们。
在人生旅途中，要和你遇到的优秀的人时常保持联系，这或许就
是此书想传达给我们的一条经验吧。莫里提醒米奇，也提醒了人们：
在你将死之时，要感觉你已经活得很充实，要知道自己是被爱的，也
一直尽力爱着别人。正如莫里最爱的诗人奥登所说的，“不相爱即如
死灭”。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
To learn to think is to learn to question.Those who don’t question
never truly think for themselves.These are simple rules that have governed
the advancement of science and human thought.Advancements are made
when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones.Unfortunately， it
is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress
of human thought.Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories
explained much of the natural world， often incorrectly.He was so
respected by the scientific community that even 1，200 years after his
death， scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than
correct them.
Brilliant minds can intimidate up-and-coming thinkers who are not
confident of their abilities.They often believe they are not as good as the
minds of giants such as Aristotle， leading many to accept current ideas
instead of questioning them.
I like many thinkers of the past， once believed in my mental
weakness.I didn’t question what was written on those pages.I respected
them， and accepted whatever they told me.But that attitude soon
changed.My mind’s independence was first developed in the classroom.
A 65-year-old science teacher once told me that light is a type of
wave.I confidently believed that light is a wave.One day， however， I
heard the German exchange student mentioned that light could be made up
of particles （粒子）.As the others laughed at his statement （陈述）， I
started to question my beliefs.
Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn’t given me the whole story.I
went to the library， did some research and learned of the light-as-a-wave
vs light-as-a-particle debate.I realized I had gone through life accepting
only half of the story as the whole truth.
Each new year brought more new facts， and I had even more
questions.I found myself in the library after school， trying to find my
own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I
already knew.Even textbooks can be challenged.I learned to question my
sources.I learned to be a thinker.
Questions are said to be the path to truth， and I plan to continue
questioning.How many things do we know for sure today that we will
question in the future？ I know nothing can escape the gravity of a black
hole.This knowledge may change in the next 20 years.The one thing we
can control now is our openness to discovery.Questions are the tools of
open minds， and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.

High engagement， high return.That’s the advice from education
experts at the University of South Australia for teachers looking to improve
student outcomes.
Filming and assessing （评估） the content of classrooms across
South Australia and Victoria， researchers found in a new study that nearly
70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple question and
answers， taking notes， or listening to teachers — rather than activities
that engage students on a deeper level.Less than a third of teachers are
engaging students in complicated learning， limiting student opportunities
for critical thinking and problem — solving.
Unisa researcher， Dr.Stephenson， highlights teachers need more
support to plan interactive and constructive lessons that promote deep
learning.“The greater the engagement， the deeper the learning.Deep
learning requites the organization of knowledge into conceptual
structures， which improves information memory and learning
outcomes.It also supports the development of innovative thinking.Even
small changes to teachers’ existing lesson plans and teaching methods can
vastly increase student engagement and overall results，” he says.
“At a base level， teachers should consider how they can adjust their
existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of
learning.Take for example， watching a video.Students can silently watch
a video （which is ‘passive’）， watch a video and take notes using
the presenter’s words （which is ‘active’）， write questions that
occur for them while watching the video （which is ‘constructive’），
or watch a video and discuss it with another student to generate different
ideas （which is ‘interactive’）.Interactive engagement in classrooms
motivates students to develop deeper understanding.They’re making
judgments， suggesting and commenting on arguments and opinions， and
working out solutions to problems，” Dr.Stephenson says.
Interestingly， many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate
the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate different modes of
student engagement.“Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to
‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student
learning，” Dr.Stephenson says.“Teachers should undertake
professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that
support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.”

C
It’s a little before 8 am when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side
door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts.He walks
down the hall towards the office to sign in.It’s the same routine he’s
had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century.“It’s going to
be a good day，” a colleague calls out.“It’s a good day.” They
hug.It seems like a typical Friday — except that it’s not.After 23 years at
Jenner Elementary，Schergen is retiring.Even on his last day，there are
still art projects to finish.
Schergen leaves behind a rich legacy at this school.He’s won grants
（拨款） for art projects.He turned an empty classroom into a
museum.He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives.And he
was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in
Chicago.But it wasn’t always easy.For years， Schergen taught in one
of the city’s toughest neighborhoods.“When I first got my room，I
noticed there were bullet holes in the window.That made me nervous，”
he says.So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of
funny”.“I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year，” he says.“I
didn’t want her to know.”
With one hour to go， Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the
floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae
Barnes， one of his best helpers， has watched him say goodbye all
day.He wanders in the doorway.“Ah，come here，son，” Schergen
says， signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you for
making these last days special and being a help to me.”
When Deontae leaves， a reporter asks Schergen，“When your kids
ask why you’re retiring，what do you tell them？” “I just tell them
that grown people have dreams too，” he says.“I have other things in
my life I have to do.It’s time.It’s just time.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Emotional energy is a relatively new term to describe our vitality （活
力）.13.（ ） If we feel that some situations drain （耗尽） us，
then it’s because they take away all our vitality in matters that are
insignificant， but ones that do require effort.They’re situations that only
distract us from what’s truly important， and from the things that enrich
us.Let’s learn to identify them and avoid them.
Arguments about insignificant issues
A debate is a great opportunity to present your own points of view and
learn from other’s opinions.However， something very different
happens when two people get into a pointless argument.14.（ ）
Gossip
15. （ ） This sort of curiosity is no more than a sign of a lack of
identity.Whoever gossips about others looks for themselves in other
people.The thing is， they just can’t find themselves.
Worrying over and over again
One of the situations that drain our emotional energy is unstoppable
doubt.This is when we think and think but only come up with “ifs” and
“buts”.We try to find the right answer or make the right decision just by
reflection.16.（ ）
Need for approval
We’re constantly trying to get other people’s approval.17.
（ ） Instead of investing time to explore who we are， whether
others like us or not， we just spend our time doing things that other
people want us to do.Generally， people either accept you or they
don’t， and sometimes for reasons that are completely beyond your
control.
A. By doing this we’re just cheating ourselves.
B. Vitality is the strength that we have before tiredness sets in.
C. We spend so much time worrying about things that it blurs our vision of
life.
D. We go on and on about the same problem， without actually doing
anything to solve it.
E. The only purpose of it is to “beat the other person”， and express
their own points of view.
F. However， we forget that many answers come only when we combine
thought and action.
G. Sticking our noses into other’s private lives， instead of our own，
drains our emotional energy.

耗我们情感能量的情况，包括无意义的争论、说闲话、反复忧虑和
渴望得到认可等。

么是活力。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何识别并避免那些消
耗我们情感能量的情况，包括无意义的争论、说闲话、反复忧虑和
渴望得到认可等。
14. E 上文指出当辩论变成争论时就完全不一样了，E项（它的唯一
目的是“击败对方”，并表达自己的观点）承接上文，说明争论只是
为了获胜，不像辩论，还可以从别人的观点中学习，其中代词it指代
上文中a pointless argument。
15. G 根据小标题可知，本段主要讲述闲话的影响。G项（干涉
别人的私人生活，而不是自己的，会耗尽我们的情感能量）与本
段主题一致。
16. F 上文指出我们试图通过思考来找到答案。F项与上文构成转折
关系，说明思考要与行动相结合才能找到正确的答案，其中answers与
上文中the right answer相呼应。
17. A 上文指出试图得到别人的认可是我们一直在做的事。A项（这
样做，我们只是在欺骗自己）指出这样做的问题，其中this指代上文
中to get other people’s approval。

人的感受，用-ed结尾的形容词bored，意为“无聊的”。故填bored。

足语，解释说明宾语everything，说明事物的特征，应用-ing结尾的形
