　　As today’s high schoolers are facing too much homework， sports teams and clubs and high-rising college costs， many people are rethinking the idea of high schoolers part-time working.Are there still benefits of having a job in high school？ The answer is yes.
　　When I was 15 years old， my mother suggested that I get a job in order to pay for college.Delighted with my sporadic （零星的） babysitting work， I told my mother that， no matter what job I got， I’d never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker’s pay.
　　My mother smiled and stated that there were plenty of other reasons why I should get a job beyond just the paycheck.So I found myself applying for and finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard at my town’s public pool.I ended up working part-time at the pool through all four years of high school.
　　Not everything about the job was marvelous， and there were times when I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and trying to talk kids into following my instructions， but overall， like my mother said， I got many benefits from the job beyond just the paycheck.
　　At my job， I made lots of new friends， more than I had made in high school.I also learnt lots of skills including CPR training and office experience.I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in college.
　　For many high school students， there are many benefits of having a job.Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money， meet new people， and develop some skills， you can also use your teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.

　　A study from researchers at the University of California， Los Angeles （UCLA） seems to suggest busy students listening to sped-up video lectures can actually understand a lot.
　　In the experiment， Alan Castel and a Dillon Murphy divided 231 undergraduate participants into four groups.Each group watched two video lectures： one about the Roman Empire and the other on real estate appraisals （房地產評估）.The videos， at normal speed， ranged between 13 and 15 minutes long.One group watched each video at its normal speed， the second watched them at 1.5 times normal speed， the third at double speed and the fourth at 2.5 times normal speed.
　　After each individual video， the participants were given a test made up of 20 questions to measure how well they remembered the information.The normal-speed group averaged 26 correct answers out of 40， and were closely followed by the 1.5-speed group and double-speed group， which each scored 25 out of 40.It wasn’t until participants watched the video at 2.5-speed that their performance on the test significantly dropped， to an average of 22 out of 40 questions answered correctly.A week later， when the same participants took new tests without rewatching the videos， the new scores saw the same order of decrease.
　　The study suggests that， while sped-up videos did not improve student learning comprehension （理解力）， they did not put them far behind， either — at least until the speed reached 2.5 times normal speed.
　　The increase in efficiency that students get from finishing a video in half the time could allow them to take more effective notes.“Students can spend the same amount of time studying， but in perhaps a better way，” Murphy said.“That opens the door to the potential benefits of that additional study opportunity.”
　　The videos in the study were for subjects that can be explained in words pretty easily， Murphy explained， whereas students watching a difficult physics or chemistry lecture at high speeds might see different results.Further research on the same topic could provide details on how well students remember information offered at higher speeds when it comes to those kinds of more challenging topics， the researchers said.
28.Which best describes how the participants watched the two videos？（　　）
A.The first group watched videos at different speeds.
B.The second group watched the two videos twice.
C.The third group watched for less than 15 minutes.
D.The fourth group watched for more than 40 minutes.
29.What did the experiment show？（　　）
A.The normal-speed watchers did no better than other groups.
B.Sped-up videos sometimes affected only a little to the watchers.
C.There were great differences among the 4 groups in the testing result.
D.The content of the video made no difference in the experiment.
30.What is Murphy’s attitude to watching video lectures at higher speeds？（　　）
A.Critical. B.Curious. C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
31.What might the researchers at UCLA do in their future studies？（　　）
A.Give participants more difficult tests after they watch videos.
B.Observe the effects of watching videos at lower speeds.
C.Let participants watch videos of more complex topics.
D.Ask students from various majors to watch videos.

　　In today’s digital age， where a vast ocean of information is just a click away， the question arises： can one learn too much？ Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge.However， there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction， a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
　　Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal.You begin by conducting extensive research， diving deep into the subject.As you absorb more information， it paradoxically （矛盾地） feels like your understanding diminishes.Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers， making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
　　This situation is a common trap： the endless pursuit of more information.Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable， that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot， issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application.If learning continuously prevents you from starting， you’ll find yourself stuck， unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
　　An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential information， then transition into action swiftly， even if you feel somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to learn， as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
　　The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here.A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process.Instead， it learns by attempting to walk， falling， and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t.Through repeated effort， walking is eventually mastered.This method is applicable to goal achievement too.By engaging in action， learning from the outcomes， and adjusting accordingly， you gradually move closer to your goals.
　　In summary， while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable， it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.Learning should be a stepping stone to doing， not an end in itself.It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations.This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.
32.What problem does the digital age present in learning？（　　）
A.Too much information.　　　　　　　　　　B.Learning to inaction.
C.Online distractions. D.Technical issues.
33.What stops people from achieving the goal？（　　）
A.The distraction caused by unrelated tasks. B.The inability to find relevant information.
C.The confusion caused by the information. D.The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
34.Why is practical experience important in the learning process？（　　）
A.It replaces continuous learning. B.It is irrelevant in gaining knowledge.
C.It holds back theoretical understanding. D.It offers a comprehensive understanding.
35.What can be the best title for the passage？（　　）
A.The Paradox of Information Overload B.The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C.The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge D.The Process of Learning to Walk
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique.It involves explaining what you’re learning to others.By teaching what you’ve learned from memory， you engage in active recall.36.（　　） It also ensures that you understand the topic， because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it.The technique consists of four repeatable steps.
　　To begin， choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand.37.（　　） The more interested you are， the faster you’ll grasp it.Moreover， a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged.
　　38.（　　） Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old.If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone， you can just teach it to an imaginary audience.But it works much better if you use a real person.They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t clear.
　　While teaching， you may discover gaps in your understanding.39.（　　） Review your notes， reread books， or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward.
　　Now that you fully grasp the concept， test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person.This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit.
　　The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn.40.（　　） You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else.However， with great efforts in mastering this method， you’ll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before.
A.It is mentally demanding.
B.This helps the information stick in your mind better.
C.Teach it to a five-year-old， who would give you direct feedback.
D.Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning.
E.Once you have chosen a topic， you can teach it to someone else.
F.Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning.
G.When this happens， refer back to the original material for the missing pieces.

　　When I entered Berkeley， I hoped to earn a scholarship.Having been a Straight-A student， I firmly believed that I could take tough subjects and really learn something.One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne.I was extremely interested in the ideas he presented in class.
　　When I took the first exam， I was shocked to find a 77， C-plus， on my test paper， for English was my best subject and I had expected to score much higher.Upset and disappointed， I went to Professor Jayne， who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved.
　　I decided to try harder， although I didn’t know what that meant because school had always been easy for me.I read the books more carefully.But my efforts seemed in vain as I received another 77.Again， I reasoned with Professor Jayne.Again， he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his mind.
　　One more test before the final exam.One more chance to improve my grade.So I doubled my efforts， reviewing my notes carefully and for the first time， I truly understood the meaning of the word “thorough”.But my effort did no good and everything went as before.
　　The last hurdle （障礙） was the final.No matter what grade I got， it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses.I realized that I might as well give up on the idea of receiving a scholarship， as it was highly unlikely that I would achieve a high enough grade.
　　As a result， I stopped working hard.I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would.In the days leading up to the final， I spent less and less time on study， and was even caught absent-minded in class.Without punishment， Professor Jayne just shook his head and said，“You alone must set your own standard of excellence.”
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

M：I was scared by the storm last night， which sounded like it hit the area near the hotel.
W：Me， too.It has been reported lightning hit the factory near the farm.
（Text 2）

（Text 5）
M：I’m sorry to have to say this， but your son Bob has broken my window.

（Text 6）

Dear Teddy，
Having a noisy neighbour is a really common problem， especially for people who live in an apartment.
Like you， I also had a noise problem with a neighbour.He’d watch loud movies every night， sometimes until 3 in the morning.One night， I decided I’d had enough of the noise， so I went to my neighbour’s apartment and we argued.However， that only made him turn his TV up even louder every night after that.
A week or so later， I saw my neighbour outside.Even though we’d lived next to each other for a long time， the first time we’d spoken was when we had our argument.
So， I chatted with him and got to know him better — I also made a joke about how I liked his taste in movies.
That night， the noise problem stopped.It seemed that all I had to do was get my neighbour to see me as a friend， not an enemy.
So， my advice to you is to be calm and patient with your neighbour.
One day， go over and ask if you can come in for a talk.If you mention that their noise is affecting your studies， they should soon change their mind.
At the same time， however， not everyone is comfortable with facing people this way.If you’re one of those people， write a polite and friendly letter instead， explaining your problem to your neighbour.
Many people we know can make us angry， but usually， the best way to win someone over is through kindness.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者用自己的親身經歷闡述了高中兼職工作給自己帶來的益處。
24.D　觀點態度題。根據第二段第二句可知，作者當時還在上高中，做兼職工作得到的是高中生打工的工資水平，距離大學費用相差太遠。由此推斷，當媽媽提出這個建議時，作者的態度是抗拒的，不愿意去的。
25.C　詞義猜測題。畫線詞后的and表示并列或順承關系，即下文是對畫線詞所在句的進一步解釋，根據下文there were times when I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and trying to talk kids into following my instructions可知，作者有時候不是很喜歡這份工作。由此推測，畫線詞marvelous意為“喜歡的，令人愉快的”。
26.C　細節理解題。根據第五段最后一句可知，這份兼職工作給作者帶來的好處是使作者在大學得到了一份帶薪的研究工作。
27.C　標題歸納題。通讀文章可知，文章為總分總結構，尾段內容點明主旨要義，高中有一份兼職工作不僅可以賺到錢還有其他的很多好處。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道。一項研究表明，忙碌的學生聽加速視頻講座實際上可以理解很多東西，提高學習效率。
28.C　細節理解題。根據第二段最后兩句可知，每個視頻以正常速度播放，時長在13到15分鐘之間，第三組以雙倍速度觀看，則總時間少于15分鐘。
29.B　推理判斷題。根據第三段第二、三句可知，實驗表明加速倍數較高時，得分才會明顯下降。由此推斷，有時加速視頻對觀看者的影響很小。
30.D　觀點態度題。根據倒數第二段內容可知，墨菲認為以更高的速度觀看視頻講座會給學生帶來好處。由此推斷，墨菲對此持支持的態度。
31.C　推理判斷題。根據文章內容尤其是第一段可推知，加州大學洛杉磯分校的研究人員在未來的研究中可能會讓參與者觀看更復雜的主題的視頻。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。在數字時代，過量的信息會造成學習停滯，因此，在學習過程中，實踐經驗能幫助我們更全面地理解學習的知識，從而實現目標。
32.A　細節理解題。根據第一段內容可知，數字時代給學習提供了太多的信息。
33.C　細節理解題。根據第二段內容可知，過多的信息會讓理解變得更加復雜和遙不可及，即使理解變得更混亂。
34.D　細節理解題。根據第四段內容可知，在學習過程中，實踐經驗是重要的，因為它可以通過實踐幫助理解信息，提供一個全面的理解。
35.B　標題歸納題。根據文章內容尤其是最后一段可知，本文介紹了在學習過程中，應將學習和實踐相結合，這樣才能更好地實現目標。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了物理學家、諾貝爾獎得主理查德·費曼發明的被稱為“費曼技巧”的一種聰明的學習方法。
36.B　根據上文可知，本空應說跟“這種學習方法的好處”有關的話題。B項（這有助于信息更好地留在你的腦海中）承接上文。
37.D　根據下文The more interested you are ...motivated and engaged.可知，本空應說跟“感興趣和學習的關系”有關的話題。D項（你對它的好奇心將決定你的學習進度）引起下文。
38.E　通讀本段可知，本空應說跟“教別人”有關的話題。E項（一旦你選擇了一個主題，你就可以把它教給其他人）統領全段。
39.G　根據空前一句可知，本空要說跟“出現這種情況的解決辦法”有關的話題，再根據空后一句可知，空后一句提出這種情況的解決辦法。G項（當這種情況發生時，請回到原始材料中查找缺失的部分）承上啟下。
40.A　根據空后一句可知，積極地思考問題對精神要求很高。A項（這對精神要求很高）引起下文。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者小時候看到媽媽縫制被子時，有一根線伸出來了，作者想去拉那根線，被媽媽呵斥。媽媽告訴作者，如果把那根線拔出來，可能會把整個被子都扯破，毀了幾個小時的工作。作者由這件事聯想到我們的生活，你可能只是一根線，但你的愛和你的生活幫助把整個事情維系在一起。
41.A　根據下文I looked over at one edge of the quilt being sewed可知，此處指媽媽在縫制被子。
42.C　根據下文If I had pulled it out可知，因為被子的線頭出來了，所以作者伸手去拉線頭。wind up上發條，停止；lay aside擱置，放一邊；stick out伸出；wrap up包裹。
43.B　參見上題解析。
44.C　根據上文That was the first time I can ever remember her yelling at me.可知，因為這是媽媽第一次對作者大聲喊叫，所以作者感到驚恐。
45.A　根據上文she smiled可知，媽媽溫柔地向作者解釋自己喊叫的原因。
46.A　根據上文描述可知，因為作者的媽媽在縫制被子，所以此處指線在被子中被縫進縫出。
47.B　根據上文I might have torn the entire quilt可知，因為可能把被子扯破，所以這樣會毀掉幾個小時的工作。
48.D　根據下文描述可知，此處表示作者回憶過去的那一刻。
49.B　根據語境可知，此處指媽媽縫被子的線。
50.D　根據下文tapestry可知，此處指的是一根細繩。
51.C　根據下文Don’t feel lost in the tapestry of life then.可知，此處表示我們不能總是看到我們要去哪里。
52.B　根據上文可知，我們都只是生命掛毯上的一根細繩，因此，如果我們從掛毯上把自己拉出來，上面會留下一個洞。
53.D　根據語境可知，此處表示要接受自己在掛毯中的位置。
54.A　此處突出強調你可能只是掛毯上的一根線。
55.D　根據空后的the whole thing together可知，你的愛和你的生活幫助把整個事情維系在一起。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了全球自然歷史日，該節日也叫青少年科學知識競賽，旨在為中小學生提供一個學習自然科學的平臺。
56.for　考查介詞。provide sth for sb/provide sb with sth給某人提供某事物，是固定搭配。故填for。
57.was launched　考查動詞的時態和語態。根據時間狀語in 2012可知，該動作發生在過去，應用一般過去時；又由于launch和主語GNHD之間是被動關系，應用被動語態。故填was launched。
58.to inspire　考查非謂語動詞。動詞intend后常接動詞不定式，be intended to do sth打算做某事，故填to inspire。
59.a　考查冠詞。此處表示上海是世界著名的經濟金融中心，表示泛指意義，又因world的發音以輔音因素開頭，故填不定冠詞a。
60.Supported　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處作非謂語。support與主語these science knowledge competitions之間構成邏輯上的動賓關系，故填過去分詞Supported。注意首字母大寫。
61.continuously　考查詞形轉換。修飾動詞held，應用副詞，故填continuously。
62.and　考查連詞。分析句子結構可知，attracting 60，000 teams 62.　　　　 involving millions of students and teachers在句中作狀語，且空處前后內容之間為并列關系，故填并列連詞and。
63.what　考查賓語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處為賓語從句的引導詞。從句中的like為介詞，介詞后應接賓語，且此處有“什么”的含義，故填what。
64.has added　考查動詞的時態和語態。根據時間狀語In the past decade可知，此處應用現在完成時，又因GNHD與add之間為主動關系，故填has added。
65.achievement/achievements　考查詞形轉換。根據空前的his or her可知，此處應用名詞，又根據語境可知，此處可用單數也可用復數，故填achievement/achievements。
第四部分
第一節
Dear Kate，
　　I am sorry to hear that you don’t do well in maths.
　　Personally， maths is difficult for most students， so there is no need to feel too bad.At this moment，you should cheer up and find ways to reduce your anxiety.Why not go on an outing with your friends or find time to listen to your favourite music？ If you talk to the teachers who you respect most， they may give you some advice that helps you to improve.
　　Anyway， I hope you can rebuild your self-confidence soon！
Yours，
Li Hua
第二節
　　That day， the words kept ringing in my mind.I began to reflect on my learning attitude.Maybe I had been too focused on grades and ignored the true meaning of learning.I realized that I should set my own standard of excellence and not just aim for a high score.I started to enjoy the process of acquiring knowledge， not just the results.I continued to work hard and strive for better understanding.Soon the final exam came.I finished it and waited for the result anxiously.
　　A week later， I was surprised to find I got an A.A wave of accomplishment and delight swept over me.I immediately called Professor Jayne to express my profound gratitude.Without his insightful approach， I would not have achieved such a breakthrough.The next year， I received a scholarship， proof of the impact of Professor Jayne’s lesson： we alone set the bar for our own excellence.

none of them replied.

W：I want to write my own books.Working for a newspaper can make my
dream come true.
M：Don’t worry.I believe you will find work at a newspaper sooner or
later.

Dear Teddy，
　　Having a noisy neighbour is a really common problem， especially
for people who live in an apartment.
　　Like you， I also had a noise problem with a neighbour.He’d watch
loud movies every night， sometimes until 3 in the morning.One night， I
decided I’d had enough of the noise， so I went to my neighbour’s
apartment and we argued.However， that only made him turn his TV up
even louder every night after that.
　　A week or so later， I saw my neighbour outside.Even though we’d
lived next to each other for a long time， the first time we’d spoken was
when we had our argument.
　　So， I chatted with him and got to know him better — I also made a
joke about how I liked his taste in movies.
　　That night， the noise problem stopped.It seemed that all I had to do
was get my neighbour to see me as a friend， not an enemy.
　　So， my advice to you is to be calm and patient with your neighbour.
　　One day， go over and ask if you can come in for a talk.If you
mention that their noise is affecting your studies， they should soon
change their mind.
　　At the same time， however， not everyone is comfortable with
facing people this way.If you’re one of those people， write a polite and
friendly letter instead， explaining your problem to your neighbour.
　　Many people we know can make us angry， but usually， the best
way to win someone over is through kindness.

　　As today’s high schoolers are facing too much homework， sports
teams and clubs and high-rising college costs， many people are rethinking
the idea of high schoolers part-time working.Are there still benefits of
having a job in high school？ The answer is yes.
　　When I was 15 years old， my mother suggested that I get a job in
order to pay for college.Delighted with my sporadic （零星的）
babysitting work， I told my mother that， no matter what job I got，
I’d never be able to cover college costs on a high school worker’s pay.
　　My mother smiled and stated that there were plenty of other reasons
why I should get a job beyond just the paycheck.So I found myself
applying for and finally accepting a job as a swim instructor and lifeguard
at my town’s public pool.I ended up working part-time at the pool
through all four years of high school.
　　Not everything about the job was marvelous， and there were times
when I hated jumping in the pool on cold mornings and trying to talk kids
into following my instructions， but overall， like my mother said， I got
many benefits from the job beyond just the paycheck.
　　At my job， I made lots of new friends， more than I had made in
high school.I also learnt lots of skills including CPR training and office
experience.I was also able to use my work experience to stand out from
other job applicants in college and get a paid research job as a freshman in
college.
　　For many high school students， there are many benefits of having a
job.Not only will high school jobs give you a way to make some money，
meet new people， and develop some skills， you can also use your
teenage jobs to get yourself a better job in college.

　　A study from researchers at the University of California， Los
Angeles （UCLA） seems to suggest busy students listening to sped-up
video lectures can actually understand a lot.
　　In the experiment， Alan Castel and a Dillon Murphy divided 231
undergraduate participants into four groups.Each group watched two video
lectures： one about the Roman Empire and the other on real estate
appraisals （房地產評估）.The videos， at normal speed， ranged
between 13 and 15 minutes long.One group watched each video at its
normal speed， the second watched them at 1.5 times normal speed， the
third at double speed and the fourth at 2.5 times normal speed.
　　After each individual video， the participants were given a test made
up of 20 questions to measure how well they remembered the
information.The normal-speed group averaged 26 correct answers out of
40， and were closely followed by the 1.5-speed group and double-speed
group， which each scored 25 out of 40.It wasn’t until participants
watched the video at 2.5-speed that their performance on the test
significantly dropped， to an average of 22 out of 40 questions answered
correctly.A week later， when the same participants took new tests
without rewatching the videos， the new scores saw the same order of
decrease.
　　The study suggests that， while sped-up videos did not improve
student learning comprehension （理解力）， they did not put them far
behind， either — at least until the speed reached 2.5 times normal speed.
　　The increase in efficiency that students get from finishing a video in
half the time could allow them to take more effective notes.“Students can
spend the same amount of time studying， but in perhaps a better way，”
Murphy said.“That opens the door to the potential benefits of that
additional study opportunity.”
　　The videos in the study were for subjects that can be explained in
words pretty easily， Murphy explained， whereas students watching a
difficult physics or chemistry lecture at high speeds might see different
results.Further research on the same topic could provide details on how
well students remember information offered at higher speeds when it
comes to those kinds of more challenging topics， the researchers said.

B. The second group watched the two videos twice.
C. The third group watched for less than 15 minutes.
D. The fourth group watched for more than 40 minutes.

D
　　In today’s digital age， where a vast ocean of information is just a
click away， the question arises： can one learn too much？ Given that no
individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge.However， there
exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction， a
state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
　　Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular
goal.You begin by conducting extensive research， diving deep into the
subject.As you absorb more information， it paradoxically （矛盾地）
feels like your understanding diminishes.Each new concept or strategy
reveals further layers， making the goal seem more complex and out of
reach.
　　This situation is a common trap： the endless pursuit of more
information.Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable，
that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot， issues arise
when this pursuit obstructs practical application.If learning continuously
prevents you from starting， you’ll find yourself stuck， unable to
achieve your desired outcomes.
　　An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to
strike a balance between learning and doing.Gather essential
information， then transition into action swiftly， even if you feel
somewhat unprepared.This is often the best way to learn， as hands-on
experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
　　The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example
here.A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the
process.Instead， it learns by attempting to walk， falling， and then
understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t.Through
repeated effort， walking is eventually mastered.This method is applicable
to goal achievement too.By engaging in action， learning from the
outcomes， and adjusting accordingly， you gradually move closer to
your goals.
　　In summary， while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable， it’s
crucial not to let it become a barrier to action.Learning should be a
stepping stone to doing， not an end in itself.It’s through the interplay of
gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our
aspirations.This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of
overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.

第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最
佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a
clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique.It involves
explaining what you’re learning to others.By teaching what you’ve
learned from memory， you engage in active recall.36.（　　） It
also ensures that you understand the topic， because you can only
explain an idea if you truly understand it.The technique consists of
four repeatable steps.
　　To begin， choose a concept or topic you wish to fully
understand.37.（　　） The more interested you are， the faster
you’ll grasp it.Moreover， a personally interesting topic will keep
you motivated and engaged.
　　38. （　　） Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to
a five-year-old.If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone， you
can just teach it to an imaginary audience.But it works much better if you
use a real person.They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t
clear.
　　While teaching， you may discover gaps in your understanding.39.
（　　） Review your notes， reread books， or seek external help to
ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving
forward.
　　Now that you fully grasp the concept， test your understanding by
trying to teach it to another person.This will help you identify any
remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit.
　　The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to
learn.40.（　　） You need to actively think about the problem instead
of passively reading or listening to someone else.However， with great
efforts in mastering this method， you’ll see your learning results
improve quicker than ever before.
A. It is mentally demanding.
B. This helps the information stick in your mind better.
C. Teach it to a five-year-old， who would give you direct feedback.
D. Your curiosity about it will determine the pace of your learning.
E. Once you have chosen a topic， you can teach it to someone else.
F. Active engagement plays a key role in promoting deeper learning.
G. When this happens， refer back to the original material for the missing
pieces.

56. for　考查介詞。provide sth for sb/provide sb with sth給某人提供某
事物，是固定搭配。故填for。
57. was launched　考查動詞的時態和語態。根據時間狀語in 2012可
知，該動作發生在過去，應用一般過去時；又由于launch和主語
GNHD之間是被動關系，應用被動語態。故填was launched。
58. to inspire　考查非謂語動詞。動詞intend后常接動詞不定式，be
intended to do sth打算做某事，故填to inspire。
59. a　考查冠詞。此處表示上海是世界著名的經濟金融中心，表示泛
指意義，又因world的發音以輔音因素開頭，故填不定冠詞a。
60. Supported　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處作非謂
語。support與主語these science knowledge competitions之間構成邏輯上
的動賓關系，故填過去分詞Supported。注意首字母大寫。
61. continuously　考查詞形轉換。修飾動詞held，應用副詞，故填
continuously。
62. and　考查連詞。分析句子結構可知，attracting 60，000 teams

63. what　考查賓語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處為賓語從句的引
導詞。從句中的like為介詞，介詞后應接賓語，且此處有“什么”的
含義，故填what。
64. has added　考查動詞的時態和語態。根據時間狀語In the past
decade可知，此處應用現在完成時，又因GNHD與add之間為主動關
系，故填has added。
65. achievement/achievements　考查詞形轉換。根據空前的his or her可
知，此處應用名詞，又根據語境可知，此處可用單數也可用復數，故
填achievement/achievements。

Dear Kate，
　　I am sorry to hear that you don’t do well in maths.
　　Personally， maths is difficult for most students， so there is no need
to feel too bad.At this moment，you should cheer up and find ways to
reduce your anxiety.Why not go on an outing with your friends or find
time to listen to your favourite music？ If you talk to the teachers who you
respect most， they may give you some advice that helps you to improve.
　　Anyway， I hope you can rebuild your self-confidence soon！
Yours，

第二節（滿分25分）
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　When I entered Berkeley， I hoped to earn a scholarship.Having
been a Straight-A student， I firmly believed that I could take tough
subjects and really learn something.One such course was World Literature
given by Professor Jayne.I was extremely interested in the ideas he
presented in class.
　　When I took the first exam， I was shocked to find a 77， C-plus，
on my test paper， for English was my best subject and I had expected to
score much higher.Upset and disappointed， I went to Professor Jayne，
who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved.
　　I decided to try harder， although I didn’t know what that meant
because school had always been easy for me.I read the books more
carefully.But my efforts seemed in vain as I received another 77.Again，
I reasoned with Professor Jayne.Again， he listened patiently but
wouldn’t change his mind.
　　One more test before the final exam.One more chance to improve my
grade.So I doubled my efforts， reviewing my notes carefully and for the
first time， I truly understood the meaning of the word “thorough”.But
my effort did no good and everything went as before.
　　The last hurdle （障礙） was the final.No matter what grade I got，
it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses.I realized that I might as well give up
on the idea of receiving a scholarship， as it was highly unlikely that I
would achieve a high enough grade.
　　As a result， I stopped working hard.I felt I knew the course material
as well as I ever would.In the days leading up to the final， I spent less
and less time on study， and was even caught absent-minded in
class.Without punishment， Professor Jayne just shook his head and
said，“You alone must set your own standard of excellence.”
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　That day， the words kept ringing in my mind. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　
　
　　A week later， I was surprised to find I got an A.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　That day， the words kept ringing in my mind.I began to reflect on
my learning attitude.Maybe I had been too focused on grades and ignored
the true meaning of learning.I realized that I should set my own standard
of excellence and not just aim for a high score.I started to enjoy the
process of acquiring knowledge， not just the results.I continued to work
hard and strive for better understanding.Soon the final exam came.I
finished it and waited for the result anxiously.
　　A week later， I was surprised to find I got an A. A wave of
accomplishment and delight swept over me.I immediately called Professor
Jayne to express my profound gratitude.Without his insightful approach，
I would not have achieved such a breakthrough.The next year， I received
a scholarship， proof of the impact of Professor Jayne’s lesson： we
alone set the bar for our own excellence.
謝謝觀看！
