The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions. A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this, and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.
A few years ago, Rachel attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools. They could let teachers know when their students need help, patience or extra care.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days. To support the student, Rachel told the student’s mom to simply text her “Handle with Care” to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time. “When she would text me, I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help, not going to the playground for morning announcements (通告), so that the rest of her daughter’s day went well,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could make use of it. In no time, the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s unbelievable act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News spread of the amazing system, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class. Printed materials could be found on the school website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
4. What happened to Rachel a few years ago
A. She met with a policeman.
B. She noticed some students in need.
C. She acted as a host at a contest.
D. She raised a girl with autism.
5. What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student
A. She asked to stop the morning announcements.
B. She talked with her in the playground.
C. She took her home ahead of time.
D She comforted her at a quiet place.
6. How did the parents treat Rachel’s system
A. They paid no attention to it.
B. They changed it in daily use.
C. They accepted it thankfully.
D. They introduced it to others personally.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A proper system.
B. A considerate teacher.
C. A story going online.
D. A class influencing the nation.
C
The characteristic (特征) of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention. Whether shyness is part of your children’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a common experience, according to a study.
To look at shyness, researchers brought 152 children aged 7-8 into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children. The study showed that about 10% of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech. About 25% of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents, but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech. This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children’s temperament (性情).
For children at this age, shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task. For a smaller group of shy children, however, being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.
A shy temperament isn’t always valued by society like an outgoing personality, but that doesn’t mean there is something wrong. Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment. And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.
Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem, parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children. Importantly, however, we know that not all shy children are the same, and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.
B. Shyness is born with personality.
C. Shyness will appear when one is in public.
D. Shyness means not communicating with others.
9. What is the finding of the study
A. Few kids like to give a speech to others.
B Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.
C. Some kids appear less shy with their parents.
D. Some kids are stressed when being separated.
10. What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children
A. Bring them to crowded space.
B. Care for them and give them confidence.
C. Keep them away from shyness.
D. Let them be alone.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. When are people shy B. Ways of beating shyness
C. Why is shyness a bad thing D. The discoveries about shyness
D
Humans are not the animal world’s only fashion followers. Tits (山雀) can be one of them, too. A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that, given the chance, they make their nests (巢穴) with this season’s must-have color.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests. This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.
The birds they followed carried instruments on them. That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers (自动取物装置) throughout the woods.
One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food. Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other color was discovered, too. As a comparison, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area, each providing two colors from the beginning.
Of 68 tits’ nests, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers. Even so, 10 of that 18 included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers. By contrast (相比之下), all 8 nests with wool have mixed colors, which showed a clear difference in the record.
Tits, then, do seem to be “in fashion” when it comes to nest-building materials. Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.
12. Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits
A. They want to beautify their nests.
B. They find no other plants.
C. They are used to doing this.
D. They want to keep warm.
13. What does the underlined word “rigged” in paragraph 4 mean
A Refused. B. Warned. C. Forced. D. Arranged.
14. What method is mainly used in the experiment
A. Testing colors. B. Observing activities.
C. Comparing results. D. Checking numbers.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the research
A. Disappointed. B. Supportive
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket(球拍)was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage(车库)floor on shelves. When John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that ” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.” Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation(犹豫), John looked at the racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you come in for a piece I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.

The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions. A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this, and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.
A few years ago, Rachel attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools. They could let teachers know when their students need help, patience or extra care.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days. To support the student, Rachel told the student’s mom to simply text her “Handle with Care” to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time. “When she would text me, I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help, not going to the playground for morning announcements (通告), so that the rest of her daughter’s day went well,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could make use of it. In no time, the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s unbelievable act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News spread of the amazing system and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class. Printed materials could be found on the school website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A few years ago, Rachel attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools. They could let teachers know when their students need help, patience or extra care.(几年前，Rachel参加了一个创伤研讨会。她了解到一些警察局与学校合作。他们可以让老师知道他们的学生需要帮助、耐心或额外的照顾)”可知，几年前Rachel注意到了一些需要帮助的学生。故选B项。

The characteristic (特征) of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention. Whether shyness is part of your children’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a common experience, according to a study.
To look at shyness, researchers brought 152 children aged 7-8 into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children. The study showed that about 10% of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech. About 25% of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents, but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech. This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children’s temperament (性情).
For children at this age, shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task. For a smaller group of shy children, however, being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.
A shy temperament isn’t always valued by society like an outgoing personality, but that doesn’t mean there is something wrong. Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment. And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.
Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem, parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children. Importantly, however, we know that not all shy children are the same, and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.
B. Shyness is born with personality.
C. Shyness will appear when one is in public.
D Shyness means not communicating with others.
9. What is the finding of the study
A. Few kids like to give a speech to others.
B. Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.
C. Some kids appear less shy with their parents.
D. Some kids are stressed when being separated.
10. What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children
A. Bring them to crowded space.
B. Care for them and give them confidence.
C. Keep them away from shyness.
D. Let them be alone.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. When are people shy B. Ways of beating shyness
C. Why is shyness a bad thing D. The discoveries about shyness
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

(研究表明，随着时间的推移，大约10%的孩子在演讲时表现出一定程度的压力。据报道，大约25%的孩子在父母眼中并不害羞，但事实上，他们在演讲时表现出一定程度的社会压力。)”可知，有些孩子在演讲时会害羞。故选B。

Humans are not the animal world’s only fashion followers. Tits (山雀) can be one of them, too. A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that, given the chance, they make their nests (巢穴) with this season’s must-have color.
Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests. This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.
The birds they followed carried instruments on them. That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers (自动取物装置) throughout the woods.
One day in March 2021, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food. Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other color was discovered, too. As a comparison, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area, each providing two colors from the beginning.
Of 68 tits’ nests 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers. Even so, 10 of that 18 included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers. By contrast (相比之下), all 8 nests with wool have mixed colors, which showed a clear difference in the record.
Tits, then, do seem to be “in fashion” when it comes to nest-building materials. Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.
12. Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits
A. They want to beautify their nests.
B. They find no other plants.
C. They are used to doing this.
D. They want to keep warm.
13. What does the underlined word “rigged” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Refused. B. Warned. C. Forced. D. Arranged.
14. What method is mainly used in the experiment
A. Testing colors. B. Observing activities.
C. Comparing results. D. Checking numbers.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the research
A. Disappointed. B. Supportive
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人类并不是动物界唯一的时尚达人。研究表明，山雀也像人类一样追随潮流，用流行色装点巢穴。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“山雀Humans are not the animal world’s only fashion followers. Tits () can be one of them, too.(人类并不是动物世界中唯一的时尚追随者。山雀也可能是其中之一)”以及第二段“Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests. This also suggested fashion-following — and it led Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.(怀尔德博士和阿普林博士跟进了一项研究，该研究指出，蓝山雀更喜欢把同样的植物放进它们的巢穴。这也表明了时尚追随——这让怀尔德博士和阿普林博士想象鸟类正在研究其他鸟类的巢穴并模仿它们)”可知，同样的植物会被山雀放进巢里是因为它们想要美化它们的巢穴。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“As a comparison, Dr. Wild and Dr. Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area, each providing two colors from the beginning.(作为对比，怀尔德博士和阿普林博士在一个单独的区域设置了四个羊毛分配器，每个分配器从一开始就提供两种颜色)”可知，作为对比每个分配器被设置成提供两种颜色，所以前文提到的应是被设置成只能给出其中一种颜色。由此推知，rigged是“设置，安排”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Of 68 tits’ nests, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers. Even so, 10 of that 18 included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers. By contrast (相比之下), all 8 nests with wool have mixed colors, which showed a clear difference in the record.(在68个山雀的巢中，有26个包括来自分配器的羊毛。其中，18是在从所有分配器获得两种颜色后建造的。即便如此，在这18只羊毛中，有10只包含了造巢者首先选择的羊毛颜色。相比之下，所有8个有羊毛的巢都是混合的颜色，这在记录中显示出明显的差异)”可推知，实验中主要采用比较实验结果的方法分析实验数据。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tits, then, do seem to be “in fashion” when it comes to nest-building materials. Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.(因此，当谈到筑巢材料时，山雀似乎确实很“时髦”。与人类时尚领袖的头衔相似，值得更深入的研究)”可知，作者觉得更深入的研究。由此推知，他支持这项研究。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是9月27日的世界旅游日，这一天提醒人们旅游业的重要性以及它是如何把来自于世界不同地区的人们聚在一起的。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：每年的9月27日是世界旅游日。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语every year on September 27th可知，此处应使用一般现在时，celebrate与句子主语World Tourism Day之间为被动关系，且句子主语为第三人称单数。故填is celebrated。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：这一天提醒我们旅游业的重要性，以及它如何将来自世界不同地区的人们聚集在一起。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作介词of的宾语，important的名词为importance意为“重要性”，且为不可数名词。故填importance。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们还可以看到令人惊叹的地标和自然奇观，如山脉、海洋和森林。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词landmarks (地标) 和natural wonders，此处修饰的是物，所以使用amaze的形容词amazing，意为“令人惊叹的”符合句意。故填amazing。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：有些人喜欢去大城市旅行，而另一些人喜欢去小城镇或农村地区。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词连接两个句子，结合句意可知，两个句子之间可理解为表示转折或者是对比关系，所以使用连词but或者是while。故填while/but。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：当人们到某地旅游时，他们会把钱花在食物、酒店和礼物上，这有助于创造就业机会和支持当地商业。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语spend time/money on sth.意为“在……上花时间（金钱）”符合句意。故填on。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：当人们到某地旅游时，他们会把钱花在食物、酒店和礼物上，这有助于创造就业机会和支持当地商业。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，job为可数名词单数，空前无限定词时使用名词复数形式，表示泛指意义。故填jobs。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：旅游业还可以通过支持保护工作来帮助保护环境和野生动物。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语，介词by后应使用动名词形式作宾语，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填supporting。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：然而，我们必须提醒自己，旅游业可以影响环境和当地文化。分析句子结构可知，此处为代词作宾语，结合句意，句子主语和宾语为同一人，应使用反身代词，they的反身代词为themselves。故填ourselves。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：无论如何，世界旅游日是我们庆祝旅游业的好处并学习如何确保旅游业不损害环境或生活在我们所参观的地方的人们的日子。分析句子结构可知，此处为“疑问词+to do sth.”结构作learn的宾语，所以此处应使用不定式形式，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填to make。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：无论如何，世界旅游日是我们庆祝旅游业的好处并学习如何确保旅游业不损害环境或生活在我们所参观的地方的人们的日子。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，使用关系代词，先行词people指人，所以此处使用who或者that。故填who/that。

47. 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。
In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket(球拍)was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage(车库)floor on shelves. When John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that ” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.” Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation(犹豫), John looked at the racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you come in for a piece I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded(奖励)them for helping her.

After Alan and John finished the cake, Ms Maud walked in and handed Alan a new tennis racket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded(奖励)them for helping her. Alan nodded in agreement. John continued to say that Ms Maud always made tasty cakes for them, even bought them some books. She was very kind to them. Besides, their mom told them not to take something without permission. Luckily, John stopped Alan in time, or he could have made a mistake. After Alan and John exchanged ideas, they walked into the house and enjoyed the cake. For Alan and John, the cake that Ms Maud made today was very delicious.
After Alan and John finished the cake, Ms Maud walked in and handed Alan a new tennis racket. “This is for you. Your mother said your tennis racket was missing. So I went to the store and bought you this tennis racket. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” said Ms Maud. “I put it in a box in the garage, so you could find it in surprise” Alan looked at the racket, and then he looked at John. He was ashamed of what he had thought a few moment ago. “Thanks so much. I love it!”
