When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the
change in atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come
running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up
something or finding change,” the headteacher says.
Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely
guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-
based, focused on reading and writing.
Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break time. “Teachers
would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.”
With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she
could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child
development, why are we doing it?”
The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so
she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose
where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher
noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”
Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) that
shows us children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its OFSTED inspection.
“The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can
be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal (了不起的),” she
says.
24. Which of the following best describes “play-based learning”?
A. Children following clear instructions to complete art projects.
B. Children creating their own games and exploring personal interests.
C. Children completing academic worksheets at their desks.
D. Children memorizing facts through repetitive classroom drills.
25. Why did Farr implement play-based learning?
A. To reduce teaching preparation time. B. To improve exam performance.
C. To support child development. D. To attract media attention.
26. How did the fifth graders respond to the new classroom arrangement?
A. Became more distracted. B. Gained better concentration.
C. Grew more independent. D. Developed stronger opinions.
27. What does the final paragraph emphasize about Farr’s approach?
A. Its scientific basis. B. Its implementation costs.
C. Its popularity with parents. D. Its academic achievements.C
The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to
relevant data, the search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year
from January to July 2022. The Baidu 2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that
interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Domestic products are now in fashion,
and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice for the new generation of
consumers.
China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It
not only meets younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive
traditional culture. The rise of China chic is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is
driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the continuous improvement of Chinese people’s
consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five
thousand years of Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways,
guochao is the perfect representative of the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the
fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’ renewed interest in their cultural heritage.
The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in an increasingly powerful
China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing, and its
soft power is also on the rise.
Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of
people’s lives, there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future
to showcase Chinese charm.
28. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously.
C. Remained stable D. Changed slightly.
29. Which best describes “China chic”?
A. It aims mainly to promote Chinese exports.
B. It mixes traditional culture with current trends.
C. It attracts mostly middle-aged and older consumers.
D. It draws major inspiration from Western fashion styles.
30. What is identified as the primary driver behind the rise of China chic?
A. The expansion of China’s economy.
B. The growth in people’s purchasing power.
C. A renewed sense of cultural identity.
D. The influence of social media on the youth.
31. What does the author imply about the future of China chic?A. It will soon lead global fashion.
B. It will need more policy support.
C. It will remain a small market.
D. It will continue to develop and diversify.
D
Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of
scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws
inspiration from an octopus(章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature,the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective au-
tonomous robots that could be used in search,rescue and exploration.“The Octobot is a minimal
system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft,autonomous ro-
bots,"the study's authors wrote.
Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on
rough terrains(地形)or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren't especially safe around
humans,because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to
their us-ers.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They're taken inspiration
from nature,looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches,which are often made up of more
flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone
(硅酮)body,it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts,such as a
source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage,it holds great promise for several
applications,such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio
Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology Center for Micro-Bio Robotics,wrote in a comment.
"Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life."
32.What's the special feature of “Octobot”?
A.It's soft. B. It's made of metal.
C.It's very small. D.It looks like an octopus.
33.What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A.They're hard to control. B. They're too heavy to move.
C. They can't predict conditions. D. They can't behave well all the time.
34.One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's _______
A.silicone body B.complex components
C.precise movements D.flexible power source
35.What's the possible application of “Octobot”?
A.Medical research. B.Life rescue.
C. Machine operation. D.House cleaning.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Appreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you're not sure
where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.
One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open
mind. 36 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see
what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.
When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors,
lines,shapes,and materials. 37 If you're looking at a painting, try to identify the
brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.
38 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better
understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you're looking at a piece of art from the
19thcentury,it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were
common at the time.
The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product.
39 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate
the technical skills and choices of the artist.
If you're looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer
you questions. Don't be afraid to ask for more information. If you're looking at art online or in a
book, try to find out more about the work through research. 40
A. Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.
B. You can also turn to a professional about the subject.
C.Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.
D. The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.
E. Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.
F. Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.
G. A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.

In a small Oregon town, Sarah lives with her three children. Every Wednesday, she pushes her
old shopping cart to Hank’s Grocery. The price tags(标签) feel like serious 41 , forcing her
to calculate if she can afford milk and bread. That day, when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she
frantically (慌乱地) searched her canvas jacket pockets — she had left her 42 at home.
“It’s alright,” Maggie the cashier said 43 , “We can hold these for you.” A rustle of 44
traveled through the line. Embarrassed, Sarah met gentle blue-grey eyes. A man in a flannel (法兰绒)
shirt quietly 45 his card: “Please, allow me.” As he bent down for a can that had rolled away,Sarah noticed wood dust on his 46 cuffs(袖口) — a working man, not wealthy himself.
That gift of $47.85 planted a 47 in Sarah’s heart. The following Sunday, she showed up at
the Warm Light Food Bank — and there he was, moving potatoes. He was one of the 48 who started
the project. From that day on, Sarah volunteered weekly, 49 donated clothes. Her daughter
drew sunflowers on food boxes, and her twin boys learned to 50 canned goods.
Three years later, on Thanksgiving morning, Sarah stood at the food bank, 51 meal boxes
to two hundred families. She watched her once-shy twins confidently 52 new volunteers how to
use the scanner. Morning light filtered(透过) through icicles (冰锥), scattering rainbows in the
steam-filled room. That initial kindness set off a cycle of 53 through seasons — as Sarah often
told her children: “Every 54 of kindness we catch is worth growing into a 55 that
brightens others.”

By Autumn Equinox, most of the areas in China 58 (enter) the cool autumn. The
cold air heading south meets the warm and wet air. The temperature also drops 59
(frequent).
In South China, there is a custom 60 (know) as "having Qiucai on the Auatumn
Equinox day". Qiucai is a kind of wild vegetable. Every Autumn Equinox day, all the 61(villager) go to pick Qiucai, which grows in the fields, thin and about 20cm in length. Qiucai is taken
back 62 made into soup called “Qiutang”.
On that day, people try to make eggs stand 63 end. According to experts, on Autumn
Equinox, the day and the night 64 (be) of equal time. The earth's axis(轴线)is in a
relative balance of power with the earth's orbit around the sun. Thus it is a very favourable time to do
that. But some also say that standing an egg has nothing to do with the time. The most important
thing is to shift the egg's center of gravity to 65 lowest part of the egg. The trick is holding
the egg until the yolk sinks(下沉)as much as possible.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
My knees started shaking. Anxiously, I looked through the list posted on the wall of the locker
room. As I saw all my frends' names on that list but couldn't find mine, I was extremely disappointed.
I thought there was a mistake. So I walked up to the coach."Mr. Brown, are you sure that the list
you posted is correct?" I asked nervously. "Yes, the names on the list are finalized. If you didn't make
it this year, there is a chance next year," he replied.
With tears in my eyes, I ran out of the room. When I walked out, my friends crowded into the
locker room to check the finalized team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I slowly walked
away. Every one of them jumped around after seeing they made the team. Trying to forget about the
situation, I headed over to the cafeteria(自助餐厅)to buy some food, but my friend Dan caught up
with me on the way.
"Hey, what's up? Everybody is going to celebrate making the team at my house. Will you be
there?" he asked."I didn't make the team," I said, upset."Oh,I didn't know. I guess you can still come
after school if you want," he suggested. Dan walked away. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered.
My mind was blank(空白的)for the rest of the school day: Everything my teachers said went in
one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot, I saw all my friends gathering at the back of theparking lot, laughing and joking. I walked around the side of the school to avoid them. I saw my
father's familiar red car pull up near the school parking lot.
注意:

艺术要考虑文化)历史背景。F项“艺术通常是在特定的历史或文化背景下创的”可以概括本段内容。
39.G 段中设空,衔接上下文。上文讲到创作一件艺术品所用的媒介可能对最终产品产生重大影响,空处
承接上文,应具体说明不同媒介产生的不同效果。G项“由金属制成的雕塑与油画的感觉不同”符合
语境。
40.B 段尾设空,承接上文。上文两个并列的“If you're looking at art...”说明欣赏艺术的不同场合:在博物
馆/画廊以及在网上/书中。后面分别讲了在不同的场合下如何了解更多关于艺术的知识。因此推测
空处也与此有关。B项“你也可以向专业人士咨询这个问题”符合语境。
完型
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah在超市购物时遇到经济困难,得到陌生人帮助后,深受感动,
从而投身公益,并带动家人一起奉献的故事。文章通过这个故事,强调了善意传递的力量。
41. C 考查名词辨析。根据空后“forcing her to calculate if she can afford milk and bread”可知,价格标签让
Sarah感到巨大的压力,迫使她不断计算是否能负担得起牛奶和面包。这表明价格标签就像某种“考
验”或“审查”,在测试她的经济能力和预算管理能力。C. examiner(考官,审查者)最符合语境。故
选C。
42. B 考查名词辨析。根据语境“when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she frantically (慌乱地) searched
her canvas jacket pockets — she had left her ______ at home”可知,在结账时发现没带钱,那么她忘在家
里的应该是用来支付的“钱包”。B. wallet(钱包)符合语境,是存放钱和银行卡的地方。故选B。
43. D 考查副词辨析。根据前文Sarah的窘境和收银员说“It’s alright ... We can hold these for you.”可知,收
银员的语气应该是安慰、体谅的。D. softly(轻柔地)符合安慰和体谅的语气。故选D。
44. C 考查名词辨析。根据前文Sarah的窘境(没钱结账)和空后的“Embarrassed”可知,排在她后面的人可能会因为等待而感到不耐烦,所以“沙沙声”可能代表着不耐烦的情绪。C. impatience(不耐烦)符
合人们在排队等待时可能产生的情绪。故选C。
45. B 考查动词短语辨析。根据后文“his card, ‘Please, allow me.’”可知,这位男士主动提出帮助Sarah支付,
他应该是拿出(举起)自己的卡递给收银员。B. hold up(举起,拿出)符合递交银行卡支付的动作。
故选B。
46. A 考查形容词辨析。根据后文“a working man, not wealthy himself”可知,这位男士是“working man”,
袖口上有木屑,这暗示他的衣服可能因为工作而磨损,所以是“褪色的”。A. faded(褪色的)符合
“working man”的形象,暗示衣服可能旧了或磨损了。故选A。
47. A 考查名词辨析。根据语境“That gift of $47.85 planted a ____ in Sarah’s heart.”和下文内容可知,这份
善意在Sarah心中种下了一个“东西”,促使她也去帮助他人。这表明善意像一颗“种子”一样,在她
心中生根发芽,并最终开花结果。A. seed(种子)比喻善意在心中萌芽,最终长成行动。故选A。
48. C 考查名词辨析。根据空后“who started the project”可知,男子是食品银行的创始人之一。C. founders
(创始人)最符合语境。故选C。
49. B 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,Sarah在食物银行做志愿者,通常会处理捐赠的衣物。B. organize
(整理,组织)符合志愿者处理捐赠衣物的工作内容。故选B。
50. D 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,女儿在食物盒上画画,双胞胎儿子则学习处理罐头食品。对于罐头
食品,最常见的处理方式是“分类”。D. sort(分类)符合在食物银行整理物资的工作内容。故选D。
51. B 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,在感恩节早上,Sarah在食物银行门口向家庭“分发”餐盒。B.
distribute(分发)符合向家庭提供餐盒的行为。故选B。
52. C 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,曾经害羞的双胞胎现在能够自信地“教导”新志愿者如何使用扫描
仪。C. teach(教导)符合向新志愿者展示如何操作的行为。故选C。
53. D 考查名词辨析。根据前文Sarah的故事(从接受善意到付出善意)可知,这是一种“慷慨”的循环。
D. generosity(慷慨,大方)最能概括这种善意传递的循环。故选D。
54. A 考查名词辨析。根据语境“Every ____ of kindness we catch is worth nurturing into a ____ that
illuminates others.”可知,善意被比喻成可以被“catch”和“nurture”的东西,并且最终能“illuminate
others”。“spark”意为火花、微光,可以被“捕捉”并“培养”成“火焰”或“光芒”,符合比喻的逻
辑。A. spark(火花,微光)符合比喻。故选A。
55. C 考查名词辨析。根据语境“Every ____ of kindness we catch is worth nurturing into a ____ that
illuminates others.”可知,一个“火花”被培养后,会变成能“照亮他人”的东西。在选项中,“light”
与动词“illuminates”(照亮)形成直接且自然的搭配,语义上最为精确。光是直接照亮他人的本质。虽
然“fire”也能产生光,但“light”更直接地表达了“照亮”这一结果和功能。故选C。
语法填空。本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了秋分
56.dividing 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语lies,此处填非谓语。divide与主语Antorn Equinox 之间是逻
辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词作状语,故填dividing。
57.longer 考查形容词的比较级。分析句子结构可知,此处是“make+宾语+宾补”结构,连接词and连接
两个并列的成分,即“days shorter”与“nights (long)”是并列的关系,根据“shorter”可知,
空处应用形容词long的比较级longer。58.have entered 考查动词的时态。句子主语是“most of the areas in China”,句中缺少谓语,此处填谓语动
词。再根据时间状语By Autumn Equinox可知,空处应用现在完成时,表示“已经进入凉爽的秋天”。
故填have entered。司义替换
59.frequently 考查副词。此处修饰动词drops,应用副词作状语。故填frequently。
60.known 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语is,此处填非谓语。动词know与custom之间是逻辑上的动宾关
系,应用过去分词形式作后置定语,修饰custom。故填known。
61.villagers 考查名词的数。句中谓语go前缺少主语,此处为名词作主语。又空前有all修饰,本空应用名
词的复数形式,故填 villagers。
62.and 考查连词。此处表示“被带回来并被做成秋汤”,句中动词短语 istaken back 与(is)made into soup
为顺承关系,故应用and连接。
63.on 考查介词。名词前设空,考虑填介词或冠词。“stand on end”意为“竖着,直立着”,是固定用法,
符合语境。
64.are 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句子主语是“the day andthe nighu”,句中缺少谓语,此处填谓语动词。
本句描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,再根据句子的主语"the day and the night”表复数概念,故此
处谓语应用复数形式。
65.the 考查冠词。名词前设空,考虑填介词或冠词。空后为形容词最高级lowest,本空应填定冠词the。

Dear Robert,
I'm thrilled to hear about your plan to study in China!Understanding Chinese body language will surely
enrich your experience here. I'd like to share with you some commonly used gestures that you might
encounter.[引入主题,表示乐意分享]
In China,waving one hand is a common greeting or farewell,but in formal situations, we greet people by
shaking hands. Besides, like in many other countries, we nod to say "yes" and shake our head to say "no”. The
thumbs-up usually means praise or approval, while a frown may indicate disagreement. What's more, raising
your hand with the palm facing outwards is a way to signal "stop" or “wait a moment”.
However,please keep in mind that the meaning of these gestures can vary depending on the context. I
hope this will be helpful and I can't wait to see you in China! [表达期待]
Yours,
Li Hua

I walked up to the car and got in. My father smiled at me and started driving home. After getting home, he
noticed my depression and asked me what was wrong. I explained the whole thing."Well,what are you going
to do about it? Are you just going to sit here?“he asked. Surprised, I just shook my head and went into my
room.Soon I realized nobody would give me a spot on the team. I'd have to earn it. I decided to work toward
my goal of making the team.The next day,after school,I immediately biked to a gym near my school. And I trained there for two hours. I
ran,shot until I fell down on the floor every single day. There were moments when I didn't think I could keep
on going, but I survived. After almost a year of practicing and training, I tried out for the school team
again.The next day,seeing my name printed in large letters, I felt as though all my dreams came true in one
wonderful moment.
