Dear Leslie,
I’m very glad that you show great interest in traditional Chinese culture. I’m writing to recommend one traditional masterpiece to you—Journey to the West.
Journey to the West is a fantastic story set in the Tang Dynasty. The story goes like this. Tangseng and his four companions went through adventures to get the scriptures, which could be beneficial to ordinary people. They made a long and hard journey westwards to achieve their dream. The Monkey King, also called Sun Wukong, managed to fight against all kinds of difficulties. Therefore, the Monkey King as a symbol of bravery and determination is deeply loved by us Chinese.
The story is so amazing that it is well worth reading. I believe you can learn more about Chinese culture from this book.I hope you would like the book.
Yours,
Li Hua Period Four Writing
Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的缓解青少年压力的方法,即通过 30 分钟的在线干预来减轻青少年的压力,该干预旨在鼓励成长型思维并将身体对压力的反应视为积极的。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段“Mental problems among teenagers are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with rates of probable mental health disorders increasing from one in nine (11.1%) in 2021 to one in five (20%) in 2023, and there is a long wait for access to services in some regions.”可推知,作者在第二段中提到数字是为了强调英国青少年心理问题的严重性。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘We’re trying to change teenagers’ belief about and their responses to stressful situations,’ said Dr David Yeager, first author of the study. ‘Actually when you’re doing something hard and your body starts to feel stressed, that could be a good thing.’”可知,David Yeager博士指出当你在做困难的事情并且你的身体开始感到压力时,这可能是一件好事,由此可推知,青少年对压力的误解是:压力是消极的。故选A。
3.A 推理判断题。根据第五段“In another experiment, the intervention was shown to influence academic achievement nine months later, with students 14% more likely to pass classes at the end of the academic year. In the final experiment, teenagers who had received the online intervention reported lower levels of general anxiety several months later.”可推知,这种干预有助于提高学生的学习成绩,减轻他们的焦虑,故选A。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yeager said the new approach went against the ‘common principle of self-care’ that often appears to view stress as uniquely negative and suggests people ‘go do yoga or have camomile tea (甘菊茶)’. ‘That’s a way to take your attention away but it doesn’t help you deal with the fundamental cause of stress,’ he said.”可知,Yeager认为“自我照顾的常用原则”往往认为压力是格外消极的,且这种原则建议人们去做瑜伽或喝甘菊茶,而这是一种转移你注意力的方式,但它不能帮助人们解决压力的根本原因,由此可推知,Yeager赞成新方法,认为其能更有效地缓解青少年的压力,故选D。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇议论文。作者就我们应该成为什么样的人阐述了自己的观点。
5.A 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Basically, Dr Meg Jay explains one’s 20s have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s as it rewires itself for true adulthood.”(总的来说,Meg Jay博士解释说,一个人的20多岁对未来几年甚至几代人的职业、家庭、朋友和关系都有巨大的影响。她说,我们的大脑在20多岁时完成了第二个也是最后一个生长高峰,为真正的成年重组。)可知,Meg Jay博士认为二十几岁对一个人的一生意义重大。故选A项。
6.A 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Maybe the questions should be: What means something to you What makes you happy What do you care about regardless of any rewards This train of thought may benefit all.”可推知,作者提出这些问题是为了帮助人们找到他们真正喜欢的东西。故选A项。
7.C 推理判断题。由文章第四段“In a world of easy access, today’s students can find everything they need after a few clicks on the Internet. Sure, that’s great, quick and convenient. But there is something important missed in the hunt—persistence(坚持), patience, and concentration. So I’m grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to find the resources I needed to write a research paper.”可知,作者对学生在互联网上寻求答案的态度是客观的,即给予肯定,也讲了弊端。故选C项。
8.D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in the early morning and realized things he cared about were not what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is something that may change throughout your life, but it’s likely that your passion and motivation will always come along.”可推知,作者通过Brandon的故事想说明我们应该随心而动,过上充实的生活。故选D项。
Ⅱ.第一节
One possible version:
Learning a new skill
The new skill I acquired is skating. The process is challenging but productive.
Initially, on watching the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, I became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined to master this fascinating sport. However, at the very beginning, when I stepped on the ice, I tripped. Hard as I strove, I still fell over again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on the field, I was inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my persistence and painstaking efforts paid off. I can skate freely all by myself.
From the learning experience, I fully understand that only by diligent practice can we overcome many kinds of difficulties. And eventually, we can have a good command of what we desire to learn.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了“我”第二天在学校得告诉同学们“我”这个夏天都干了些什么。“我”的祖父发明了一种简单的方法,利用粪便作为燃料来源。“我”花了三个月的时间在“我”祖父母的农场里铲、收集和分析粪便。“我”很害怕同学们因此嘲笑我。但最终“我”说出了事实,大家为“我”欢呼。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘轮到你了,安娜,’哈蒙德老师说。”可知,第一段可以描写“我”的心理活动以及“我”对暑期活动的介绍。
②由第二段首句内容“当我回到座位上时,全班都欢呼起来,一些同学走近我,眼中充满了钦佩。”可知,第二段可以描写“我”讲完后大家的反应和“我”的感受。
2.续写线索:轮到“我”—内心挣扎—讲述事实—为“我”欢呼—感到自豪
One possible version:
“It’s your turn, Anna,” Ms Hammond said. Taking a deep breath, I stepped to the front of the room and cleared my throat. “This summer I…Well, I…” I stared at the floor. This was my last chance to save my dignity with a tale of a fake adventure. Then I thought about how hard Grandpa worked to save our planet. Gathering my courage, I described the process of collecting and analysing cow poop and how it was transformed into sustainable fuel. Surprisingly, my classmates listened attentively. As I concluded my sustainable adventure, I gracefully bowed to them.
The class cheered as I returned to my desk, and some of my classmates approached me with admiration in their eyes. Ember Adams, who had just shared her journey to Mount Qomolangma, clapped me on the back. “That’s so cool, Anna! Turning poop into fuel That never crossed my mind!” she exclaimed. Soon, others joined the conversation, intrigued by the unusual nature of my summer experience. A sense of relief, joy and pride overwhelmed me. Instead of being the target of laughter, I became the centre of attention. My seemingly “stinky” summer vacation actually opened a door to my friendships with my new fifth-grade peers!Period Four Writing

●Ⅰ 阅读理解
A
Stress in teenagers can be reduced by a 30-minute online intervention (干预) aimed at encouraging a growth mindset and seeing the body’s reaction to stress as positive. It interprets physical responses such as a racing heart as potentially performance-enhancing.
Mental problems among teenagers are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with rates of probable mental health disorders increasing from one in nine (11.1%) in 2021 to one in five (20%) in 2023, and there is a long wait for access to services in some regions.
A study involving more than 4,000 secondary school pupils and university students suggests the new approach could be a low-cost, effective treatment for adolescent stress. “We’re trying to change teenagers’ belief about and their responses to stressful situations,” said Dr David Yeager, first author of the study. “Actually when you’re doing something hard and your body starts to feel stressed, that could be a good thing.”
Yeager and colleagues conducted a series of controlled trials. In one trial, half of 166 students were given the intervention while the rest were not. All the students were then surprised with a request to give a speech about their personal strengths and weaknesses in front of peer evaluators who had been trained to create an unsupportive atmosphere by sighing and frowning. Those who had been given the intervention had lower stress responses, based on the heart rate and other physical measures.
In another experiment, the intervention was shown to influence academic achievement nine months later, with students 14% more likely to pass classes at the end of the academic year. In the final experiment, teenagers who had received the online intervention reported lower levels of general anxiety several months later.
Yeager said the new approach went against the “common principle of self-care” that often appears to view stress as uniquely negative and suggests people “go do yoga or have camomile tea (甘菊茶)”. “That’s a way to take your attention away but it doesn’t help you deal with the fundamental cause of stress,” he said.
( )1.Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 2
A.To provide historical information about the study.
B.To present the advantages of the online intervention.
C.To explain the necessity of providing the public services.
D.To stress the severity of mental problems in UK teenagers.
( )2.What is teenagers’ misunderstanding of stress
A.It is something negative.
B.It is something positive.
C.Many people are struggling with it.
D.It contributes to their growth.
( )3.From the controlled experiments, we know the intervention might .
A.lead to academic improvement and lower anxiety
B.do good to teenagers’ physical and mental health
C.help students evaluate their strengths and weaknesses
D.prove efficient in ridding teenagers of stress immediately
( )4.What does Yeager think about the new approach
A.It casts new light on the cause of stress.
B.It changes people’s perspective on stress.
C.It respects people’s opinions about self-care.
D.It relieves teenagers’ stress more effectively.

[2024·广东广州番禺区高二期末]
As a teacher for a decade, I find that college kids want to carve their routes and live out their journeys. But so many of them don’t know what they want to do: What major to choose What career to pursue What topic to write their papers on More importantly, they wonder why any of these things really matters.
One of the best books I have read is Dr Meg Jay’s The Defining Decade. Basically, Dr Meg Jay explains one’s 20s have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s as it rewires itself for true adulthood.
From the time we are in primary school, people ask us what we want to be when we grow up. I once asked my friend’s eight-year-old the question and she said, “I’m just a kid; I have no way of knowing what I want to be when I’m an adult.” Maybe the questions should be: What means something to you What makes you happy What do you care about regardless of any rewards This train of thought may benefit all.
In a world of easy access, today’s students can find everything they need after a few clicks on the Internet. Sure, that’s great, quick and convenient. But there is something important missed in the hunt—persistence(坚持), patience, and concentration. So I’m grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to find the resources I needed to write a research paper. During this process, I reflected on what truly made me happy and what I genuinely cared about.
My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in the early morning and realized things he cared about were not what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is something that may change throughout your life, but it’s likely that your passion and motivation will always come along.
( )5.What idea does Dr Meg Jay express in her book
A.One’s twenties matter a great deal in one’s life.
B.The brain is in its most active stage in our 20s.
C.One’s career choice affects their family members.
D.The old have a long-time influence on the young.
( )6.Why does the author include a series of questions in Paragraph 3
A.To help people find out what they truly love.
B.To call on people to make plans for the future.
C.To encourage people to have a positive attitude.
D.To warn people to learn life skills at an early age.
( )7.What is the author’s attitude towards students’ turning to the Internet
A.Favourable. B.Optimistic.
C.Objective. D.Uncaring.
( )8.What can we learn from Brandon’s story
A.Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.
B.Our dreams keep changing throughout life.
C.Our life journey is always full of uncertainties.
D.We should follow our heart and live a full life.

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。
I chewed on my pencil as I walked back and forth across my bedroom. What was I going to do It was bad enough that I was the new kid. But now I was sure to get laughed at right out of fifth grade. How could my first homework be such a disaster
“My name is Anna, and this summer I…” I stopped. How could I stand in front of my class and say that I’d spent the entire summer handling something that most people don’t even like to talk about Poop (粪便). I’d spent three months shoveling (铲), collecting, and analysing cow poop on my grandparents’ farm. I tried to think of a different adventure I could share. Maybe I could say I’d spent the summer on the Weather Control Team preventing floods.
“Time for dinner,” my mum called.
I walked slowly down the stairs and slid into my chair.
“You’ve been in your room since you came home from school,” Mum said. “What are you working on ”
I sighed, “I have to tell the class what I did this summer.”
My younger brother, Seymour, began to laugh uncontrollably. “No one will want to sit next to you after they hear you were covered in cow poop all summer!”
“OK, that’s enough, Seymour,” Dad said.
“Anna,” said Mum, putting green beans in a bowl, “be proud of the work we did this summer. Our planet would be in sad shape without scientists like your grandfather.”
It’s true that my grandfather does important work. He developed an easy way to use poop as a source of fuel. Using the poop is now easy, economical, and environmentally safe.
“I know, mum,” I said, staring at my meatloaf. “But it’s not exactly something people want to hear about before lunch.”
That night I dreamed about more splendid adventures: cave diving in Mexico, hiking through the Amazon rainforest.
At school the next day, I bent over my desk, listening to each kid speak. My palms were sweaty, and the knot (结) in my stomach grew tighter.
“And that was my journey to Mount Qomolangma,” Ember Adams said, finishing her report. She bowed and took her seat.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“It’s your turn, Anna,” Ms Hammond said.
Paragraph 2:
The class cheered as I returned to my desk, and some of my classmates approached me with admiration in their eyes.

Dear Leslie,
I'm very glad that you show great interest in traditional
Chinese culture. I'm writing to recommend one traditional
masterpiece to you—Journey to the West.
Journey to the West is a fantastic story set in the Tang
Dynasty. The story goes like this. Tangseng and his four
companions went through adventures to get the scriptures, which
could be beneficial to ordinary people. They made a long and hard
journey westwards to achieve their dream. The Monkey King, also
called Sun Wukong, managed to fight against all kinds of
difficulties. Therefore, the Monkey King as a symbol of bravery and
determination is deeply loved by us Chinese.
The story is so amazing that it is well worth reading. I believe
you can learn more about Chinese culture from this book. I hope
you would like the book.
Yours,
Li Hua

Stress in teenagers can be reduced by a 30-minute online
intervention (干预) aimed at encouraging a growth mindset and
seeing the body's reaction to stress as positive. It interprets
physical responses such as a racing heart as potentially
performance-enhancing.
Mental problems among teenagers are on the rise in the
United Kingdom, with rates of probable mental health disorders
increasing from one in nine (11.1%) in 2021 to one in five (20%) in

2023, and there is a long wait for access to services in some
regions.
A study involving more than 4,000 secondary school pupils and
university students suggests the new approach could be a low-cost,
effective treatment for adolescent stress. “We're trying to change
teenagers' belief about and their responses to stressful situations,”
said Dr David Yeager, first author of the study. “Actually when
you're doing something hard and your body starts to feel stressed,
that could be a good thing.”

Yeager and colleagues conducted a series of controlled trials. In
one trial, half of 166 students were given the intervention while
the rest were not. All the students were then surprised with a
request to give a speech about their personal strengths and
weaknesses in front of peer evaluators who had been trained to
create an unsupportive atmosphere by sighing and frowning. Those
who had been given the intervention had lower stress responses,
based on the heart rate and other physical measures.

In another experiment, the intervention was shown to influence
academic achievement nine months later, with students 14% more
likely to pass classes at the end of the academic year. In the final
experiment, teenagers who had received the online intervention
reported lower levels of general anxiety several months later.

Yeager said the new approach went against the “common
principle of self-care” that often appears to view stress as
uniquely negative and suggests people “go do yoga or have
camomile tea (甘菊茶)”. “That's a way to take your attention away
but it doesn't help you deal with the fundamental cause of stress,”
he said.

As a teacher for a decade, I find that college kids want to
carve their routes and live out their journeys. But so many of them
don't know what they want to do: What major to choose What
career to pursue What topic to write their papers on More
importantly, they wonder why any of these things really matters.

One of the best books I have read is Dr Meg Jay's The
Defining Decade. Basically, Dr Meg Jay explains one's 20s have an
enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in
terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that
our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s
as it rewires itself for true adulthood.

From the time we are in primary school, people ask us what
we want to be when we grow up. I once asked my friend's eight-
year-old the question and she said, “I'm just a kid; I have no way
of knowing what I want to be when I'm an adult.” Maybe the
questions should be: What means something to you What makes
you happy What do you care about regardless of any rewards
This train of thought may benefit all.

In a world of easy access, today's students can find everything
they need after a few clicks on the Internet. Sure, that's great,
quick and convenient. But there is something important missed in
the hunt—persistence(坚持), patience, and concentration. So I'm
grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to
find the resources I needed to write a research paper. During this
process, I reflected on what truly made me happy and what I
genuinely cared about.

My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in
the early morning and realized things he cared about were not
what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others
considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that
was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is
something that may change throughout your life, but it's likely that
your passion and motivation will always come along.

Learning a new skill
The new skill I acquired is skating. The process is challenging
but productive.
Initially, on watching the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, I
became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined
to master this fascinating sport. However, at the very beginning,
when I stepped on the ice, I tripped. Hard as I strove, I still fell
over again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on
the field, I was inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my
persistence and painstaking efforts paid off. I can skate freely all
by myself.
From the learning experience, I fully understand that only by
diligent practice can we overcome many kinds of difficulties. And
eventually, we can have a good command of what we desire to
learn.
第二节 读后续写

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。
I chewed on my pencil as I walked back and forth across my
bedroom. What was I going to do It was bad enough that I was
the new kid. But now I was sure to get laughed at right out of
fifth grade. How could my first homework be such a disaster
“My name is Anna, and this summer I…” I stopped. How
could I stand in front of my class and say that I'd spent the entire
summer handling something that most people don't even like to
talk about Poop (粪便). I'd spent three months shoveling (铲),
collecting, and analysing cow poop on my grandparents' farm. I
tried to think of a different adventure I could share. Maybe I could
say I'd spent the summer on the Weather Control Team preventing
floods.
“Time for dinner,” my mum called.
I walked slowly down the stairs and slid into my chair.
“You've been in your room since you came home from school,”
Mum said. “What are you working on ”
I sighed, “I have to tell the class what I did this summer.”
My younger brother, Seymour, began to laugh uncontrollably.
“No one will want to sit next to you after they hear you were
covered in cow poop all summer!”
“OK, that's enough, Seymour,” Dad said.
“Anna,” said Mum, putting green beans in a bowl, “be
proud of the work we did this summer. Our planet would be in
sad shape without scientists like your grandfather.”
It's true that my grandfather does important work. He
developed an easy way to use poop as a source of fuel. Using the
poop is now easy, economical, and environmentally safe.
“I know, mum,” I said, staring at my meatloaf. “But it's not
exactly something people want to hear about before lunch.”
That night I dreamed about more splendid adventures: cave
diving in Mexico, hiking through the Amazon rainforest.
At school the next day, I bent over my desk, listening to each
kid speak. My palms were sweaty, and the knot (结) in my stomach
grew tighter.
“And that was my journey to Mount Qomolangma,” Ember
Adams said, finishing her report. She bowed and took her seat.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。

Paragraph 1：
“It's your turn, Anna,” Ms Hammond said.___________
Paragraph 2：
The class cheered as I returned to my desk, and some of my
classmates approached me with admiration in their eyes._______
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了“我”第二天在学校得告诉
同学们“我”这个夏天都干了些什么。“我”的祖父发明了一种简单的方法，
利用粪便作为燃料来源。“我”花了三个月的时间在“我”祖父母的农场里铲、
收集和分析粪便。“我”很害怕同学们因此嘲笑我。但最终“我”说出了事实，
大家为“我”欢呼。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘轮到你了，安娜，’哈蒙德老师说。”可知，第
一段可以描写“我”的心理活动以及“我”对暑期活动的介绍。
②由第二段首句内容“当我回到座位上时，全班都欢呼起来，一些同学走
近我，眼中充满了钦佩。”可知，第二段可以描写“我”讲完后大家的反应和
“我”的感受。
2.续写线索：轮到“我”—内心挣扎—讲述事实—为“我”欢呼—感到自豪
One possible version:
“It's your turn, Anna,” Ms Hammond said. Taking a deep
breath, I stepped to the front of the room and cleared my throat.
“This summer I…Well, I…” I stared at the floor. This was my last
chance to save my dignity with a tale of a fake adventure. Then I
thought about how hard Grandpa worked to save our planet.
Gathering my courage, I described the process of collecting and
analysing cow poop and how it was transformed into sustainable
fuel. Surprisingly, my classmates listened attentively. As I concluded
my sustainable adventure, I gracefully bowed to them.
The class cheered as I returned to my desk, and some of my
classmates approached me with admiration in their eyes. Ember
Adams, who had just shared her journey to Mount Qomolangma,
clapped me on the back. “That's so cool, Anna! Turning poop into
fuel That never crossed my mind!” she exclaimed. Soon, others
joined the conversation, intrigued by the unusual nature of my
summer experience. A sense of relief, joy and pride overwhelmed
me. Instead of being the target of laughter, I became the centre of
attention. My seemingly “stinky” summer vacation actually
opened a door to my friendships with my new fifth-grade peers!
