My decision to take Profcssor Browne’s history class 14 years ago was about as random as drawing a name
out of a hat for the office Christmas gift exchange. I had one class I needed to take to graduate. It had to be a night
class because I had begun working full-time for a Member of Parliament. With few options for my history major, I
unwillingly registered for a Wednesday night seminar（研讨班）on Confederation.
I had been a good but lazy student in high school. University was a rude awakening. Spending much time on
partying, I remained a solid B and C student. Now I just wanted that diploma（毕业文凭）.
Professor Browne was a slight man wearing glasses, with a British accent. He always wore the same jacket.
He referred to us formally. I was Miss Switocz, which he pronounced correctly, first try. And he was demanding.
Two major papers were required, as were weekly assignments.
Professor Browne was a well-regarded scholar of Canadian constitutional history. But he liked discussing
学科网（北京）股份有限公司grammar and language even more than the nation’s past. He referred to Henry Fowler’s A Dictionary of Modern
English Usage often as the final authority on all written English. He returned our assignments full of red markings.
Every grammar failure was corrected, many sentences were improved and our thinking was challenged.
A few weeks into the term, I worked harder on every assignment. As stressed as I was about the work the
course required, I came to look forward to the class. I was awestruck that anyone could be so passionate about
language and words.
When I received my grade at the end of the course, I was excited to receive my first A. I had measured up to
Professor Browne’s expectations. From Professor Browne, I learned to love language and the written word. I
discovered the intense satisfaction of digging deep to produce my best. And I never had another teacher like him.
24. Why did the author take Professor Browne’s history class?
A. To obtain a degree.
B. To meet her job requirements.
C. To start a new major in university.
D. To make up for her academic failures.
25. What can we learn about Professor Browne?
A. He disagreed with Henry Fowler’s many thoughts.
B. He was an English grammar scholar.
C. He was particular about language.
D. He disliked written assignments.
26. How did the author change after taking the class for weeks?
A. She became a solid A student. B. She developed a liking for it.
C. She decided to give it up. D. She felt more and
more stressed
27. What influence did Professor Browne have on the author?
A. She became a language teacher.
B. She learned to set realistic expectations
C. She began to find satisfaction from small things.
D. She became a pursuer of highest possible attainments.

Students of Hagerstown Jr-Sr High School walk down grassy land to reach their newest classroom: a fenced-
in field of cattle. Starting in the next academic year, the cattle, which arrived last month and have names like
Ground Round and Honey Bear, will be fed by students taking an agricultural science class. Then, when the
animals are fat enough, they will be fed back to their caretakers — as beef in their lunch.
Hagerstown, population 1,769, is like many rural communities facing the cost of population decline and
concerns that local agricultural ties are disappearing. Farming jobs are disappearing. Residents move away every
year and few return.
Schools in Hagerstown have lost enough students since 2020 to cause a significant drop in per-pupil funding
from the state. School officials say the Hagerstown cattle program is expected to save at least $2,000 in annual
学科网（北京）股份有限公司cafeteria costs and expand career training. “We’ll have more meat than we’ll be able to consume,” said Mark
Childs, the principal（校长）at the school, which will sell its extra beef.
According to a United States Department of Agriculture report released this month, the number of farmers
declined by nearly 20 percent from 2017 to 2022. The total number of farms also fell as large food producers
expanded and land prices rose.
Hagerstown has perhaps as good a chance as any place to buck the broader trend. Dairy（乳品的）farmers
have arrived from Pennsylvania in recent years, with more on the way. Teachers at the school tend crops and
livestock（家畜）on the side for extra income. Some students speak with pride about the local soil-judging team,
which last year fell just shy of qualifying for nationals.
But even supporters admit the plan could backfire. What if the cows get loose or die? What if the price of beef
drops? What if pupils grow attached to their assignment and cannot stomach the sight of Honey Bear between two
hamburger buns（圆面包）? Mr. Williamson, who works.400 acres（英亩）of crops at home when he is not
teaching, said no lesson plan about farming would be complete without a little risk.
28. What is a problem facing Hagerstown?
A. High living costs.
B. Soil degradation.
C. People leaving the town.
D. Students dropping out of school.
29. Why is Hagerstown Jr-Sr High School’s cattle program held?
A. As a way to teach about nutrition.
B. As a solution to its budget problems.
C. To answer students’ requests for hands-on learning.
D. To prepare students for the national soil judging contest.
30. What does the underlined word “buck” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reflect. B. Witness. C. Follow. D. Resist,
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Lesson in Farming: Classroom to Cafeteria
B. Raising Steaks: A Cattle Farm Is Questioning Education
C. Moo-ving Classrooms: A School’s Green Food Experiment
D. Super Delicious: The Lunch Program Launched by Students
D
What’s the difference between Mozart and Pavarotti? Well, one was a child genius and composer who
systematically learned the rules of music at an early age — the other, a singer expert at mimicry （模仿）.
Singers have a talent for foreign languages, most notably when it comes to pronunciation and accent because,
they mimic what they hear. It’s something that Pavarotti, who couldn’t read sheet music, did with his operatic
singing. “Singers are the best with the accent,” says Susanne Reiterer, a neurolinguistics（神经语言学）researcher
at the University of Vienna in Austria. “A foreign accent is a piece of cake for them.”
Brain scientists, based on the structure of the brain, believe that some people are simply born to be musicians.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司“Talking uses the same biological makeup as singing, so it must be related biologically and neurobiologically. It’s
almost like two sides of one coin,” Reiterer says. “It’s 50/50 genes（基因）and environment, and if you have a lot
of musical training then you have more power basically in your auditory（听觉的）areas. You can discriminate
sounds better.”
In Reiterer’s 2015 study, 96 participants categorized as instrumentalists, singers and non- musicians were
tested for their abilities to mimica language unknown to them. Her team found singers had an advantage over
instrumentalists, as they outperformed them in foreign language learning, but both singers and instrumentalists
outperformed non-musicians. This research also suggested that vocal（发声的）motor training may allow singers
to learn a language faster.
Multilingual singer Daniel Emmet sings in seven languages. Emmet feels musicians have a leg up in
understanding a language. He says he’ll always be in a state of learning. “In music, you’re only as good as your
last show. And in languages, I guess you’re only as good as your last conversation,” he says.
For multilingual musicians, language helps them see the world as they tour, produce new work, and meet other
songbirds. It seems that in a world full of rule-followers, it pays to be a Pavarotti.
32. What was Pavarotti good at?
A. Composing music. B. Reading sheet music.
C. Picking up new pronunciations. D. Conducting operas and concerts.
33. What does Reiterer say about language ability in paragraph3?
A. It is half biologically determined.
B. It relies on continuous practice.
C. It determines one’s singing ability.
D. It contributes to sound discrimination.
34. What theory does Reiterer’s 2015 study confirm?
A. Some people are born to be musicians.
B. Multilinguists are able to play instruments well.
C. Singers are better language learners than instrumentalists.
D. Non-musicians can learn music faster after vocal motor training.
35. What might Emmet continue doing?
A. Touring the world. B. Learning from Pavarotti.
C. Befriending other musicians. D. Improving his foreign tongues.

Napping（小睡）during the day is an ancient custom that is practiced worldwide. But napping can come with
drawbacks（缺点）as well as benefits.

time. Short naps are also linked to increased productivity and creativity. Some companies have attempted to
introduce napping rooms into the workplace. 3 7 . One study found that naps of about 20 minutes improved
the overall mood of participants. However, longer naps lasting more than 30 minutes are not typically associated

The Accidental Artist: Alia Discovers the Science of Self-Portraits
Alia sighed as she entered the art studio. She had been sick during the week when everyone else got to pick
their classes. She had hoped for Astronomy or Marine Biology, but they were full by the time she got to choose.
She loved everything about science, from the way it used facts and lines and shapes to explain things to how it
revealed the basic nature of things. But art was so … un-scientific. She couldn’t imagine how she would spend the
coming weeks.
The first class project was self-portraits（自画像）. Some students were drawing self-portraits using mirrors.
Others were working from photographs. Everyone appeared to be enjoying what they were doing, except for Alia.
She looked at their incomplete sketches（草图）, feeling like a cat in a dog show.
The art teacher, Mr Smith, sensing her upset, approached her with a kind smile. “Every portrait starts with a
circle,” he explained, drawing a simple circle on a piece of paper. “Then, we add lines to bring it to life.”
To demonstrate, Mr Smith drew a group of small, quick portraits. He began each one with a circle, some
straight lines, and a triangle（三角形 ）to determine where the eyes, nose, and mouth should go. Alia watched in
amazement as various faces emerged from the simple shapes. She had never thought about it before, but there was
a hidden order to the human face, a structure that could be created with lines and angles. Each line required focus
and precision, just like a scientific experiment.
After the demonstration, Mr Smith passed a pencil to Alia, inviting her to put into practice what he had just
explained. “Everyone can do it,” he encouraged the girl. “I am looking forward to your work.” Mr Smith turned
away to give other students instructions.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Hesitantly, Alia began her own self-portrait.

One possible version:
Achieving your dreams can be challenging if you have numerous bad habits. One such habit that prevented my
progress was my addiction to watching short videos on my cellphone late at night, resulting in poor sleep quality.
To break free from this habit, I decided to read classic Chinese novels. Although the initial weeks were tough,
the process proved to be rewarding. I discovered that the joy of reading physical books surpassed the short - lived
entertainment provided by watching videos.
It’s not easy to kick an old habit, but if you stay determined, you can make it.
One possible version:
Hesitantly, Alia began her own self portrait. She drew the basic form of a head, the way she had been shown.
From there, she used lines to plot the features of her face. The process took patience and precision. She had to take
note of each detail. One wrong measurement could throw off the whole portrait. Alia was surprised by the structure
and discipline involved in drawing a portrait. Measuring, studying details, revealing the basic nature of something it
reminded her of what she loved about science. Without realizing it, she finished the very first self-portrait of her
life.
Alia admired her artwork with satisfaction, unaware that Mr Smith had quietly approached her. Mr Smith
looked at Alia’s portrait, his eyes
