一、阅读单选（3题）（本大题共1小题）
From fashionable current affairs reports to the distant past, these podcasts (播客) take the mystery out of history.The Rest Is History
Two men quietly fill your brain with knowledge in an entertaining way. Tackling everything from the history of the World Cup to significant historical events, the two combine total command of their subjects with much enjoyable silliness and some terrible impressions.Slow Burn
Slow Burn takes deep dives into modern American history. Created by Slate, episodes (集) are hosted by various presenters, and are typically attractive from beginning to end. Often, these are moments in history you’ve already known about, but might never learned about in this much detail before. These seriously in-depth explainers will keep you addicted to an entire learning trip.In Our Time
Running weekly from 1998, the popular show hosted by Melvyn Bragg is more than just a history program. With over 1,000 episodes available to download, it covers many straightforward history topics. However, In Our Time mainly explores the big ideas and philosophical concepts that have shaped humanity.A History of the World in 100 Objects
The excellent bite-size journey through the history of the world initially aired in 2010 and probably wasn’t called a podcast, but it lives on in that form. Narrated by an art historian, it does exactly what the title suggests, serving as a loosely chronological guide to human civilization through the artifacts we have created, from primitive tools to world-famous pieces of art.
1．How does Slow Burn differ from other podcasts
A．It covers unknown American history.
B．It is available for download.
C．It offers details of historic events.
D．It is created by different presenters.
2．Which best suits those who want to know about the development of humanity best
A．The Rest Is History. B．Slow Burn.
C．In Our Time. D．A History of the World in 100 Objects.
3．What do we know about A History of the World in 100 Objects
A．It tells history with objects.
B．It is an informal podcast.
C．It focuses on the modern art.
D．It is stated by a famous artist.

In recent years, eatable water balls have emerged as a creative way to reduce plastic waste. These small, transparent balls, often referred to as “water pods,” hold drinking water inside a biodegradable cover made from natural materials like seaweed. Unlike plastic bottles that take centuries to break down, these eatable containers can melt in the mouth quickly or be turned into natural fertilizer, offering a promising alternative to address pollution.
The science behind eatable water balls relies on a process called spherification (球化技术), which was first applied in cooking experiments to shape liquids into round forms using special chemicals. While this method has been popularized in high-end restaurants for creating visually appealing dishes, scientists have adapted it for mass production to tackle global sustainability challenges. Each pod, typically holding 50-100 milliliters of water, is produced strong enough to be carried without breaking, making it convenient for people at sports events, festivals, or daily travel.
One of the most significant advantages of eatable water balls lies in their potential to dramatically cut down single-use plastic consumption. A study conducted by environmental researchers estimated that replacing just 10% of plastic bottles with eatable alternatives could remove over 5 billion plastic units annually, thus reducing ocean pollution and protecting marine ecosystems. Furthermore, the production process requires fewer fossil fuels compared to plastic manufacturing, contributing to lower carbon emissions and matching international climate goals outlined in agreements like the Paris Accord.
Despite their benefits, eatable water pods face challenges in widespread adoption. Critics say their production cost is high because the cover must be both strong and quick to break down naturally, making them less affordable for low-income populations. Plus, people may worry about cleanliness and feel uncomfortable with the idea of eating packaging, which requires education to shift consumer behavior.
In conclusion, eatable water balls represent a combination of innovation and sustainability, offering a real step toward a plastic-free future: As technology advances and social awareness grows, this novel solution may soon become a mainstream choice, reshaping how humanity interacts with one of its most vital resources differently — water.

Summer camps typically create images of playing games, staying in comfortable cabins and singing at campfires. For a group of nearly 600 teenagers from northern Virginia, summer camps were just a little different from the normal experiences. They spent a week sleeping in a middle school, showering in temporary set-ups and completing hard physical labor to benefit disadvantaged people in the community.
WeekCamp, an annual week-long camp, put the high school-age teens to work by repairing homes in rural Virginia. The goal of the week was to make homes “warmer, safer and drier,” Kevin Bryan, WeekCamp’s director, said. Roof repair, steps repair, and other home improvement tasks were among the projects undertaken by the campers, who did the work for free. The value of the labor done during WeekCamp was more than $1.5 million.
WeekCamp’s campers and volunteers were based at a middle school, where classrooms served as their bedrooms for the week. Cell phones were completely banned during WeekCamp — something campers were initially hesitant about, but grew to appreciate. “I love being at this camp where a bunch of teenagers do not have their phones for a week, because I feel like I can personally connect with more people than I would if we all had phones. The phone just draws our attention away from our lives,” said camper Emily.
For some, WeekCamp was a family affair. The Edmonson family sent two of their children as campers, and their father served as a volunteer leader. “Yes, teens like to joke around, but it’s wonderful to have this experience,” the father said. His 15-year-old daughter was initially unsure if she wanted to spend a week of her summer doing physical labor with her dad. She was assigned to a team that repaired a roof and fixed the stairs. “My team is good at communicating, and it makes me feel good to be able to help someone,” she said, adding that she was having a good week after all.
8．What is the purpose of introducing typical summer camps
A．To confirm the popularity of summer camps.
B．To create images of great fun in WeekCamp.
C．To encourage participation in summer camps.
D．To highlight the distinct nature of WeekCamp.
9．According to paragraph 2, what does WeekCamp aim at
A．Training young campers to repair their homes for free.
B．Informing campers of poor home conditions in Virginia.
C．Enabling campers to repair rural homes as volunteers.
D．Helping campers raise over $1.5 million for the poor.
10．What did Emily think of the ban on phones
A．It drew her attention away from her life.
B．It strengthened the bond in her family.
C．It improved her connection with others.
D．It made teens in the camp joke at her.
11．Which of the following best describes WeekCamp
A．Carefree and well-received.
B．Demanding but meaningful.
C．Harmonious and comfortable.
D．Adventurous but practical.

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time that you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are having a negative self-image because you can’t move past one weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves (卷起你的袖子) and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
12．You need to build a positive self-image when you ________.
A．dare to challenge yourself
B．feel it hard to change yourself
C．are unconfident about yourself
D．have a high opinion of yourself
13．According to the passage, our self-image ________.
A．have positive effects
B．are probably untrue
C．are often changeable
D．have different functions
14．How should you change your self-image according to the passage
A．To keep a different image of others.
B．To make your life successful.
C．To understand your own world.
D．To change the way you think.
15．What is the passage mainly about
A．How to prepare for your success.
B．How to face challenges in your life.
C．How to build a positive self-image.
D．How to develop your good qualities.
16．Who are the intended readers of the passage
A．Adolescents. B．Parents.
C．Educators. D．Grandparents.

Ever wondered how many drops of water a single penny can hold before spilling This seemingly simple experiment reveals the invisible 17 governing liquids and offers a delightful “wow” moment. Let’s 18 the science adventure with only a penny, a dropper (滴管), water, and a steady hand.
First, clean a copper penny to remove dirt or oils — 19 coins work best. Then fill the dropper with water and begin 20 droplets onto the penny’s surface, one at a time. Watch closely as the water forms a dome (圆丘), growing taller with each addition. Here’s 21 things get strange: 22 the penny’s flat surface, the water won’t spill immediately.

Have you ever thought about the origins of mathematics Interestingly, unlike man-made inventions such as light bulbs or computers, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone. 32 And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person. Instead, mathematics developed gradually over thousands of years through the contributions of many people!
33 No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to divide them evenly (平均地). First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. That means you’d need to count them. You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. 34
Similarly, division might have originated from the need to divide that pile of peaches. 35 And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.
More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. 36 Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world.
A．How did it get started
B．When was it discovered
C．It’s really more of a discovery.
D．They were the first to discover the basics of mathematics.
E．Around this time, mathematics first became an organized science.
F．This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about.
G．In fact, many mathematical principles were developed to meet practical needs.

Teaching Students with Special Needs to Solve Word Problems
Many special-needs students have difficulty in learning words. Special-needs students often learn in different ways than students in classrooms. Some special ways might help them so they are able to understand how to solve it.
37
Many special-needs students, such as those with learning difficulties, might benefit from computer puter games solving word problems can be more interesting to students who do not learn well in traditional ways. Let your special-needs students partner up to play computer games, and you might see even more progress.
Draw Pictures
Special-needs students who have difficulty hearing or listening for long periods might gain word-problem-solving skills by drawing pictures to show the problem. Ask your special-needs students to draw a picture of the problem. For example, a problem might ask students to determine how many dogs there are if two were in the park first, then three more joined them. Your students can draw two dogs first, three dogs second and then count them to find the answer. Read the problem clearly to your students and give them time to draw.
38
Encourage your special-needs students to read the word problems out loud and discuss what they are about. Many special-needs students gain word-problem-solving skills when they are able to speak out the problem and think of possible answers. Ask your special-needs students questions to help them consider different ways of working through a problem.
39
When special-needs students improve their reading skills, they might also improve their word-problem-solving skills. When the students are given homework to understand the difficult problems, they will be able to solve them. When your students understand what the math problem is to solve, they will give a right answer.
A．Play Computer Games
B．Eat something delicious
C． Talk It Out
D．Practice Reading

Tomato Changed My Life
Doing things—without being planned was never my strength.
As a 14-year-old, I would refuse to go for walks around the block with my friends if I was the least bit behind in my schoolwork.
Unlike most teenagers, I lived not in my room, but in an unused kitchen upstairs where I spread my books and papers on a large round table. I spent considerable time there, working continuously for hours, and my mother worried. She would try to lure (引诱) me away. “Come and watch the parade!” she would call from downstairs. “All neighbors are out there!” She thought of all kinds of tricks-the swimming pool, ice cream, stray cats and turtles—to remove me from my -studies, but nothing ever worked.
Later, in college, the pattern continued. The library and my college dorm replaced the unused kitchen at home. When spring came along friends would stop by my dorm or peer into my library room to persuade me to play Frisbee on the lawn. “No, I would almost always say.” I have too much to do.
My college study days were gone, but not my need and love for schedules. My friends and sisters tried to keep me away from my plans, but they were hardly ever successful.
This summer, though, while house sitting for my parents, I was persuaded to change my plans in the most unexpected way. The sight of tomatoes growing in my mother’s garden lured me out of my tightly scheduled world. They drew me with the power of a lover’s gaze. Hundreds of them were turning ripe and red by the minute, decorating the garden like decorations on a Christmas tree.
“If I have time, I’ll make tomato sauce (番茄酱).” I told myself. But my long week in the house by myself was already filled with things to do: writing, and finishing a project that I brought home from the office.
Then, watching the fascinating tomatoes continuously falling to the ground in ever-greater numbers, again I mentally argued about all the things I had planned and needed to do.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数学的起源和发展，强调了它不是个人发明，而是通过数千年的积累和多地区文化的贡献逐渐形成的知识体系。
【详解】32．上文“Interestingly, unlike man-made inventions such as light bulbs or computers, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone.(有趣的是，与灯泡或电脑等人为发明不同，数学并不是由某人发明的)”说明数学并非人为创造，而是有其自身的存在方式。下文“And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person.(而且它的发现甚至不能归功于一个人)”进一步强调了数学的发现是一个集体过程，而非个人行为。空处需解释数学的本质。 选项C“It’s really more of a discovery.(它更像是一种发现)”完美承接上下文逻辑，强调数学的本质是发现而非发明。故选C。
33．下文“No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to divide them evenly (平均地).(没有人能确切知晓，但我们可以发挥想象力，思考数学可能是如何起源的。例如，如果我们追溯到史前人类采摘桃子食用的时期，便能想象这项基础活动很可能催生了对数学的需求。假设你和史前的朋友采了一篮桃子，你们很可能会同意把桃子平均分)”用史前人类分配桃子的例子解释数学可能的起源。空处应为引导问题的总起句。选项A“How did it get started (它是如何开始的？)”直接提出了关于数学起源的问题，与下文内容相呼应。故选A。
34．上文“If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to divide them evenly (平均地). First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. That means you’d need to count them. You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement.(假设你和生活在史前时期的朋友采了满满一篮桃子，你们很可能会同意把这些桃子平均分。首先，你需要知道一共采了多少个桃子，这就意味着你得把它们数一数。你可能首先需要为基本的计量单位想出名称)”描述史前人类数桃子和命名计数单位的过程。空处需总结这一行为的意义。选项F“This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about.(这可能就是计数和最早数字的由来)”中“this”指代前文数桃子的行为，“counting”和“numbers”与“count them”“names for the basic units”对应，总结该例子与数学起源的关系，符合语境。故选F。
35．上文“Similarly, division might have originated from the need to divide that pile of peaches.(同样，除法可能源于分配那堆桃子的需要)”以“分桃子”为例说明除法的起源，下文“And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.(并且科学家们认为，许多基本的数学运算，比如加法和乘法，是在数千年前同时出现在不同地区的，包括中国、印度、美索不达米亚和埃及)”列举加法、乘法等基础运算的起源，均体现数学源于实际需求。选项G“In fact, many mathematical principles were developed to meet practical needs.(事实上，许多数学原理都是为了满足实际需求而发展起来的)” 是概括性结论，与上文例子形成“例证+观点”关系，强调了数学原理与实际需求的紧密联系。故选G。
36．上文“More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago.(更高级的数学可以追溯到2500多年前的古希腊)”提到古希腊时期的数学发展，下文“Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world.(从那以后，数学上的发现激励着后来的数学家和科学家在前人的研究基础上继续探索，不断拓展我们对数学及其与世界联系的理解)”提到数学研究对后世的启发。选项E“Around this time, mathematics first became an organized science.(大约在这个时候，数学首次成为一门有组织的科学)”承接上文进一步说明古希腊时期数学的发展阶段，与下文形成时间上的延续。故选E。

51．【答案】
Finally, I gave in. I picked up the recipe that I had copied down from a friend. “Prepare a little bit of water with garlic and onions. Add…,” it read. I scarched for 20 minutes in the kitchen cabinet and pulled out a huge white china pot. I washed the tomatoes, cutting away sections that were spoiled, and sliced and threw them into the pot. I swayed the watery mixture as if I were washing gold. Meanwhile, turning on the stereo, I sang along with Billy Joel and reviewed a step I’d picked up in my swing-dance class.
A month later, my parents came back. They found a daughter who had discovered the beauty of flexibility. I shared stories of my tomato adventures, and we laughed together. My mom, the same woman who used to try and lure me away from my books, now shared in my newfound passion for the kitchen. As I stood in the kitchen, surrounded by the rich flavour of tomato sauce, I realized the importance of allowing life to surprise us. Those tomatoes had taught me a valuable lesson: balance in life is not just about sticking to schedules and plans; it’s also about embracing the unexpected, reminding me that there’s a world of joy beyond the limitations of a strict schedule.

In recent years, eatable water balls have emerged as a creative way to reduce plastic waste. These small, transparent balls, often referred to as “water pods,” hold drinking water inside a biodegradable cover made from natural materials like seaweed. Unlike plastic bottles that take centuries to break down, these eatable containers can melt in the mouth quickly or be turned into natural fertilizer, offering a promising alternative to address pollution.
The science behind eatable water balls relies on a process called spherification (球化技术), which was first applied in cooking experiments to shape liquids into round forms using special chemicals. While this method has been popularized in high-end restaurants for creating visually appealing dishes, scientists have adapted it for mass production to tackle global sustainability challenges. Each pod, typically holding 50-100 milliliters of water, is produced strong enough to be carried without breaking, making it convenient for people at sports events, festivals, or daily travel.
One of the most significant advantages of eatable water balls lies in their potential to dramatically cut down single-use plastic consumption. A study conducted by environmental researchers estimated that replacing just 10% of plastic bottles with eatable alternatives could remove over 5 billion plastic units annually, thus reducing ocean pollution and protecting marine ecosystems. Furthermore, the production process requires fewer fossil fuels compared to plastic manufacturing, contributing to lower carbon emissions and matching international climate goals outlined in agreements like the Paris Accord.
Despite their benefits, eatable water pods face challenges in widespread adoption. Critics say their production cost is high because the cover must be both strong and quick to break down naturally, making them less affordable for low-income populations. Plus, people may worry about cleanliness and feel uncomfortable with the idea of eating packaging, which requires education to shift consumer behavior.
In conclusion, eatable water balls represent a combination of innovation and sustainability, offering a real step toward a plastic-free future: As technology advances and social awareness grows, this novel solution may soon become a mainstream choice, reshaping how humanity interacts with one of its most vital resources differently — water.

Summer camps typically create images of playing games, staying in comfortable cabins and singing at campfires. For a group of nearly 600 teenagers from northern Virginia, summer camps were just a little different from the normal experiences. They spent a week sleeping in a middle school, showering in temporary set-ups and completing hard physical labor to benefit disadvantaged people in the community.
WeekCamp, an annual week-long camp, put the high school-age teens to work by repairing homes in rural Virginia. The goal of the week was to make homes “warmer, safer and drier,” Kevin Bryan, WeekCamp’s director, said. Roof repair, steps repair, and other home improvement tasks were among the projects undertaken by the campers, who did the work for free. The value of the labor done during WeekCamp was more than $1.5 million.
WeekCamp’s campers and volunteers were based at a middle school, where classrooms served as their bedrooms for the week. Cell phones were completely banned during WeekCamp — something campers were initially hesitant about, but grew to appreciate. “I love being at this camp where a bunch of teenagers do not have their phones for a week, because I feel like I can personally connect with more people than I would if we all had phones. The phone just draws our attention away from our lives,” said camper Emily.
For some, WeekCamp was a family affair. The Edmonson family sent two of their children as campers, and their father served as a volunteer leader. “Yes, teens like to joke around, but it’s wonderful to have this experience,” the father said. His 15-year-old daughter was initially unsure if she wanted to spend a week of her summer doing physical labor with her dad. She was assigned to a team that repaired a roof and fixed the stairs. “My team is good at communicating, and it makes me feel good to be able to help someone,” she said, adding that she was having a good week after all.
8．What is the purpose of introducing typical summer camps
A．To confirm the popularity of summer camps.
B．To create images of great fun in WeekCamp.
C．To encourage participation in summer camps.
D．To highlight the distinct nature of WeekCamp.
9．According to paragraph 2, what does WeekCamp aim at
A．Training young campers to repair their homes for free.
B．Informing campers of poor home conditions in Virginia.
C．Enabling campers to repair rural homes as volunteers.
D．Helping campers raise over $1.5 million for the poor.
10．What did Emily think of the ban on phones
A．It drew her attention away from her life.
B．It strengthened the bond in her family.
C．It improved her connection with others.
D．It made teens in the camp joke at her.
11．Which of the following best describes WeekCamp
A．Carefree and well-received.
B．Demanding but meaningful.
C．Harmonious and comfortable.
D．Adventurous but practical.
三、阅读单选（5题）（本大题共1小题）
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time that you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are having a negative self-image because you can’t move past one weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves (卷起你的袖子) and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
12．You need to build a positive self-image when you ________.
A．dare to challenge yourself
B．feel it hard to change yourself
C．are unconfident about yourself
D．have a high opinion of yourself
13．According to the passage, our self-image ________.
A．have positive effects
B．are probably untrue
C．are often changeable
D．have different functions
14．How should you change your self-image according to the passage
A．To keep a different image of others.
B．To make your life successful.

Have you ever thought about the origins of mathematics Interestingly, unlike man-made inventions such as light bulbs or computers, mathematics isn’t something that was invented by someone. 32 And its discovery can’t even be attributed to one person. Instead, mathematics developed gradually over thousands of years through the contributions of many people!
33 No one can know for sure, but we can use our imaginations to think about how mathematics might have gotten its start. For example, if we go all the way back to prehistoric humans gathering peaches to eat, we can imagine how this basic task probably gave rise to a need for math. If you and your prehistoric friend gathered a basket full of peaches, you’d probably agree to divide them evenly (平均地). First, you’d need to know how many peaches you gathered. That means you’d need to count them. You might first need to come up with names for the basic units of measurement. 34
Similarly, division might have originated from the need to divide that pile of peaches. 35 And scientists believe that many basic mathematical functions, such as addition and multiplication appeared thousands of years ago in various areas at the same time, including China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt.
More advanced mathematics is traced to ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. 36 Since then, mathematical findings have inspired later mathematicians and scientists to build on predecessors’ work, continuously broadening our comprehension of mathematics and its connection to the world.
A．How did it get started
B．When was it discovered
C．It’s really more of a discovery.
D．They were the first to discover the basics of mathematics.
E．Around this time, mathematics first became an organized science.
F．This might be how counting and the earliest numbers came about.
G．In fact, many mathematical principles were developed to meet practical needs.

Teaching Students with Special Needs to Solve Word Problems
Many special-needs students have difficulty in learning words. Special-needs students often learn in different ways than students in classrooms. Some special ways might help them so they are able to understand how to solve it.
37
Many special-needs students, such as those with learning difficulties, might benefit from computer puter games solving word problems can be more interesting to students who do not learn well in traditional ways. Let your special-needs students partner up to play computer games, and you might see even more progress.
Draw Pictures
Special-needs students who have difficulty hearing or listening for long periods might gain word-problem-solving skills by drawing pictures to show the problem. Ask your special-needs students to draw a picture of the problem. For example, a problem might ask students to determine how many dogs there are if two were in the park first, then three more joined them. Your students can draw two dogs first, three dogs second and then count them to find the answer. Read the problem clearly to your students and give them time to draw.
38
Encourage your special-needs students to read the word problems out loud and discuss what they are about. Many special-needs students gain word-problem-solving skills when they are able to speak out the problem and think of possible answers. Ask your special-needs students questions to help them consider different ways of working through a problem.
39
When special-needs students improve their reading skills, they might also improve their word-problem-solving skills. When the students are given homework to understand the difficult problems, they will be able to solve them. When your students understand what the math problem is to solve, they will give a right answer.
A．Play Computer Games
B．Eat something delicious
C． Talk It Out
D．Practice Reading

Tomato Changed My Life
Doing things—without being planned was never my strength.
As a 14-year-old, I would refuse to go for walks around the block with my friends if I was the least bit behind in my schoolwork.
Unlike most teenagers, I lived not in my room, but in an unused kitchen upstairs where I spread my books and papers on a large round table. I spent considerable time there, working continuously for hours, and my mother worried. She would try to lure (引诱) me away. “Come and watch the parade!” she would call from downstairs. “All neighbors are out there!” She thought of all kinds of tricks-the swimming pool, ice cream, stray cats and turtles—to remove me from my -studies, but nothing ever worked.
Later, in college, the pattern continued. The library and my college dorm replaced the unused kitchen at home. When spring came along friends would stop by my dorm or peer into my library room to persuade me to play Frisbee on the lawn. “No, I would almost always say.” I have too much to do.
My college study days were gone, but not my need and love for schedules. My friends and sisters tried to keep me away from my plans, but they were hardly ever successful.
This summer, though, while house sitting for my parents, I was persuaded to change my plans in the most unexpected way. The sight of tomatoes growing in my mother’s garden lured me out of my tightly scheduled world. They drew me with the power of a lover’s gaze. Hundreds of them were turning ripe and red by the minute, decorating the garden like decorations on a Christmas tree.
“If I have time, I’ll make tomato sauce (番茄酱).” I told myself. But my long week in the house by myself was already filled with things to do: writing, and finishing a project that I brought home from the office.
Then, watching the fascinating tomatoes continuously falling to the ground in ever-greater numbers, again I mentally argued about all the things I had planned and needed to do.

Let your special-needs students partner up to play computer games, and you might see even more progress.( 许多有特殊需要的学生，比如那些有学习困难的学生，可能会从电脑游戏中受益。解决文字问题的电脑游戏对那些用传统方式学习不好的学生来说更有趣。让你有特殊需要的学生一起玩电脑游戏，你可能会看到更大的进步)”可知，这一段主要讲述了许多有特殊需求的学生，比如有学习困难的学生，可能从电脑游戏中受益。所以小标题是“Play Computer Games(玩电脑游戏)”。故选A项。
38．根据下文“Encourage your special-needs students to read the word problems out loud and discuss what they are about. Many special-needs students gain word-problem-solving skills when they are able to speak out the problem and think of possible answers. Ask your special-needs students questions to help them consider different ways of working through a problem.( 鼓励有特殊需要的学生大声朗读单词问题，并讨论问题的内容。许多有特殊需要的学生在能够说出问题并想到可能的答案时获得了解决问题的能力。向有特殊需要的学生提问，帮助他们考虑解决问题的不同方法)”可知，此段鼓励有特殊需求的学生大声读出单词问题并讨论它们是关于什么的，即把自己的想法说出来。因此小标题是“Talk It Out(说出来)”。故选C项。
39．根据下文“When special-needs students improve their reading skills, they might also improve their word-problem-solving skills. When the students are given homework to understand the difficult problems, they will be able to solve them. When your students understand what the math problem is to solve, they will give a right answer.( 当有特殊需要的学生提高他们的阅读技能时，他们也可能提高他们解决单词问题的能力。当给学生布置作业来理解难题时，他们就能解决它们。当你的学生明白要解决的数学问题时，他们就会给出正确的答案)”可知，该段表明当有特殊需求的学生提高阅读技能时，他们也可能提高解决单词问题的技能。所以小标题是 “Practice Reading(练习阅读)”。故选D项。

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了马耳他中国文化中心在第45届马耳他图书节上举办的“读中国”展览，以及该展览和图书节在促进文化交流方面的影响。
【详解】
40． 考查非谓语动词。句意：马耳他中国文化中心在第45届马耳他图书节上推出的“读中国”展览，宛如一幅展现文化与社会的万花筒。本句已有谓语动词was，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词exhibition，动词launch与名词exhibition之间是逻辑被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词launched作后置定语。故填launched。
41． 考查定语从句的引导词。句意：在这个节日上，约200本中英文书籍陈列展出，内容涵盖汉语教育、传统文化、文学、旅游和儿童读物等多个类别，吸引了众多参观者。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是festival，指物，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
42． 考查动词的时态。句意同上。根据前一句谓语动词was可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时，表示过去发生的事情。故填attracted。
43． 考查名词。句意：据主办方介绍，该图书节每年有40家参展商参与，为行业专业人士提供了广泛的交流机会，每天吸引约5万名参观者到场。介词with后需接名词作宾语，participate的名词为participation“参加”，不可数名词。故填participation。
44． 考查冠词。句意同上。此处需用不定冠词泛指一个参观率，attendance是发音以元音音素开头的单词，所以空处需用不定冠词an。故填an。
45． 考查非谓语动词。句意：马耳他国家图书委员会执行主席马克·卡米莱里表示：“马耳他中国文化中心是连接两国的重要机构。”本句已有谓语动词is，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词organization，动词bridge与名词organization之间是逻辑主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词bridging作后置定语。故填bridging。
46． 考查副词。句意：它在图书节上的参与极大地丰富了文化交流，营造了和谐的氛围。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词enriches，dramatic的副词为dramatically。故填dramatically。
47． 考查介词。句意：一名26岁的马耳他大学中国专业研究生正在寻找旅游指南，为本月与女友的前往北京和上海的两周旅行做准备，他们将这次旅行作为毕业礼物。表示“作为”需用介词as。故填as。
48． 考查形容词。句意：意大利书商埃米利亚诺·萨尔维说：“我妹妹曾跟我讲过汉字的演变，我刚在一本书里找到了实例，这让我着迷。”空处需用形容词作表语，修饰物，需用-ing结尾的形容词fascinating。故填fascinating。
49．考查动词不定式。句意：在意大利很难直接找到关于中国的资料，我觉得这个图书节是探索中国文化书籍的绝佳机会。空处需用动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词opportunity。故填to explore。

九、读后续写
【知识点】一般过去时、哲理感悟、记叙文、读后续写、饮食
51．【答案】
Finally, I gave in. I picked up the recipe that I had copied down from a friend. “Prepare a little bit of water with garlic and onions. Add…,” it read. I scarched for 20 minutes in the kitchen cabinet and pulled out a huge white china pot. I washed the tomatoes, cutting away sections that were spoiled, and sliced and threw them into the pot. I swayed the watery mixture as if I were washing gold. Meanwhile, turning on the stereo, I sang along with Billy Joel and reviewed a step I’d picked up in my swing-dance class.
A month later, my parents came back. They found a daughter who had discovered the beauty of flexibility. I shared stories of my tomato adventures, and we laughed together. My mom, the same woman who used to try and lure me away from my books, now shared in my newfound passion for the kitchen. As I stood in the kitchen, surrounded by the rich flavour of tomato sauce, I realized the importance of allowing life to surprise us. Those tomatoes had taught me a valuable lesson: balance in life is not just about sticking to schedules and plans; it’s also about embracing the unexpected, reminding me that there’s a world of joy beyond the limitations of a strict schedule.

【详解】1、段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“最终，我屈服了。”可知，第一段可描写作者做西红柿酱的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，我的父母回来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和父母分享制作西红柿酱的经历以及感悟。
2、续写线索：拿起食谱——制作西红柿酱——和父母分享经历——感悟
