I went to Yuanhe Middle School in Xihaigu, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, a place that used to be one of the
poorest regions in China, to participate in an English class with village children.
Most kids in the school come from poor village homes and are “left behind” children 一 kids whose parents work
in the cities to make a better living. After class, we chatted a lot, and they wondered about everything, using “outside
world” as a term to describe the wider globe for many times.
Taking care of rural children is essential. The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the
students, who can also video chat with their parents daily. To better care for the village children, the school provides
outdoor hiking, technology, art, and foreign language program s to help them understand the outside world. After all,
high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation（扶贫）efforts.
During my trip in Xihaigu, I also visited Ningxia Normal University, where over 70% of its students major in
education.
In 2013, local and central governments launched public -funded programs to recruit students interested in
becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts. By 2023, 3, 500 students were enrolled in the program,
many of whom came from disadvantaged village households in Xihaigu.
I had the opportunity to speak with Yang, a public-funded student from the once-poor Xihaigu region. After
finishing school, he planned to stay in the Xihaigu area as a teacher to teach the kids knowledge.
Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world. A lack of
knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor. Money could help the poor for a while but not once for all. He
hopes that by sharing knowledge with the kids in his hometown, he can help them broaden their horizons and develop
an objective perspective on the world. He envisions a future where these children can use their knowledge to make a
better life, stop people’ stereotypes (固有印象) about China and share Xihaigu’s stories with the rest of the world.
24. Why did the kids repeatedly mention “outside world”?
A. Out of curiosity about the unknown world.
B. With the hope of changing the world outside.
C. To show their experiences about the wider globe.
D. For lack of confidence towards their inner world.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The key to poverty-alleviation efforts.
B. The aid to the kids on life and education.
C. The teaching conditions of the school.
D. The high-quality education of the school.
26. What can we infer from the author’s trip in Ningxia Normal University?
A. Students in this university can be free of charge.
B. The authorities support Ningxia’s rural areas by stressing education.
C. The public -funded programs target at the students from poor regions.
D. Money is less important than knowledge for the people in Xihaigu’s villages.
27. Which of the following may agree with Yang’s opinion?
A. Learn and live. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C. Hang on to your dreams. D. Poverty-alleviation starts with education.
C
As archaeologists（考古学家）examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some
surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by
nomadic（游牧的）Turki c peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because
“manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling
in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it’s unclear when
this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened,
dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional
meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian（素食）dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The
relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their
best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings,
perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly
from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings
like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and
might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more
countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”. During the Second World
War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta? Some historians think it
might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the
mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.
28. What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings?
A. The languages they used. B. Their eating habits.
C. Their dumpling-making skills. D. The newly found tombs.
29. What does the phrase “gathered steam” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Originated. B. Stabilized.
C. Got well-cooked. D. Became popular.
30. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The spreading process of dumplings.
B. The possible origins of dumplings.
C. Differences between various dumplings.
D. Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.
31. Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage?
A. Delicious. B. Diverse. C. Unusual. D. Regional.
D
Sonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria. At her institute, Konrad
Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose, which made Kleindorfer feel a
certain amount of pressure. “I can do five, but when the next five come, I start to have a mental meltdown,” she says.
So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him: Could he write a program to distinguish these
faces?
He said, yes, but he’d need a database of geese photos to work with. Kleindorfer got her team out there, snapping
picture s of the geese from every angle. After building the database, they wrote a piece of facial recognition Al that
could ID a goose, by looking at specific feature s of its beak（喙）. After a couple of years, the team reports that their
goose recognition software is now about 97% accurate.
“Geese have such drama—there are archrivals（劲敌）, and jealousy and retribution（报答）,” Kleindorfer
says. To find out how faces figured into this drama, she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves,
their partners, or another member of the flock. She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their
partners and friends, but not themselves. For further study, Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be
able to snap a picture of a goose, ID it, and share its location with scientists. But she adds, just remember, her new
research suggests that bird watching goes both ways: Geese can remember faces too. “If you are ever not kind to a
goose,” she warns, “that goose may find you again.”
Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology.
“We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in
computer science,” she says. “But working together, I think we can do this.”
32. What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work?
A. She was always stressed. B. She was not able to count the geese.
C. She suffered a mental illness. D. She couldn’t recognize all the geese.
33. How does the program distinguish the geese?
A. By snapping pictures of the geese. B. By presenting the full-sized pictures.
C. By identifying the beaks in the photos. D. By building the database of the geese.
34. What is the finding of the new research?
A. Birdwatching is a dangerous activity.
B. Geese can locate and find human beings.
C. Geese have the ability of facial recognition.
D. Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.
35. What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph?
A. Science training. B. Computer science.
C. Photo-taking skills. D. Cross-subject study

How do we slow down and eat more deliberately? And what are some techniques we can use to eat at a health y
pace? 36 That’s when you use your senses to enjoy the food and notice how it makes you feel.
The first tip is to take at least 20 minutes to finish your meal. Very often we find ourselves eating while doing
something else, and that can make us eat faster than we normally would. When you sit down to eat, spend about 20
minutes doing so. 37
38 Remove all distractions while you eat. They can interfere with your ability to enjoy your food and
notice when you are full. Spend time to eat and only eat. Make sure your cell phone is face down and you’re not going
to be responding to any messages that come through.
Noticing all the little details about your food would have great benefits as well. 39 One way to slow
down is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: what’s on my plate?
How hungry am I today? Is it too salty? Notice the smell, the texture and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Instead of wolfing down, don’t forget to actually chew. If you’re inhaling（吸入）your food you’re probably
not chewing it. 40 Look at each bite before popping it into your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and
chew, chew, chew.
A. Putting your phone away is also advisable.
B. So, you’d better eat in a more healthy way.
C. Second, remove food that would make you distract.
D. Experts share helpful tips on how to eat more mindfully.
E. Experts suggest that chewing is an important part of digestion.
F. You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich.
G. It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.

Every time I think of the card attached with a picture, it reminds me that success is important, but why not
sometimes just admit the journey, regardless of success or failure, and show our approval? Our approval may bring us
another story, while for others, another chapter of life.
One month ago, I was temporarily appointed to be in charge of a class, when they just finished an important
exam. A boy walking out of the classroom with his friends greeted me happily. The sunny smile on his face showed
his confidence in the exam. He was Mark, a top A student. During the following days, Mark impressed me with his
optimism in class and after class.
One Monday morning, as I rushed towards my office, I encountered Mark. We greeted each other, but his good
morning” face wasn’t as bright as usual. “Maybe he doesn’t like Monday as much as I do.” I thought jokingly.
At the office, Mark’s less-than-enthusiastic look reminded me of his sunny smile. Recalling the first time we met,
I drew a boy with a broad smile and sparkling eyes. As a new teacher, pupils like Mark were my favourite. Personally,
they learned by heart, and always met our expectations. Moreover, they were easily satisfied. Even a simple “Well
done!” could brighten their day. To encourage students, I had my own award system, including empty cards, where I
would write three or four sentences of encouragement based on students’ individual situations.
As I enjoyed the pleasure of getting a new idea, I heard a knock at the door. It was Mark, dragging his feet with
his head down, “Madam, I’m upset.” His words amazed me. What could make such an excellent student so down? I
asked if he had problems with his friends, but he shook his head. Concerned, I inquired if he was being bullied, but
received the same response.
“Do your parents put pressure on you?” I wondered. As for this question, Mark’s voice began to tremble and he
lowered his head again, whispering, “They trust me and expect me to get better and better. I had been doing my best
but I got the third place in the exam.”
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。
Hearing his words, I was lost in thought.
With my encouragement, Mark opened the card.
