get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday.I am sure you won't be disappointed (失望的).”After this special meeting，I always thought about this kind of st month，I had a chance at last to go

one way to explain things that happen around us.Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen.Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect.It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills.Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.For example，you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket.This is the effect.To look for a cause，think to yourself，“What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?”Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather.Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World.Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold.All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.Now，think about a second example.The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.What are the possiblecauses?Maybe he bullied (欺负) another student.Maybe he is just being picked up early.Maybe he is being given a prize!Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect.Cait，13，was trying to fall asleep when her 8yearold brother，Doug，came into her room.He looked around a bit，but seemed really out of it.Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there lookingstraight up at the hall light for quite a while.Little brothers can be very

tell?16.According to the second paragraph，which of the following is an effect?A.Someone puts on a heavy jacket.B.Someone works in the penguin pen.C.Someone will go outside into cold weather.D.Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.17.Abi has to go to the head teacher's office.Which of the following isn't the possible cause?A.He bullied another student.B.He is going shopping.C.he is being

his dad.19.Which of the following is cause and effect?A.Tony got up and had a glass of water.B.We came home and found him sleeping.C.The ball was lost and a window was broken.D.Tim was late again and his teacher got angry.20.What is the best title for the text?A.Truth and liesB.Work and sleepC.Cause and effectD.Life and dreams(五)Ask any student which subject he or she hates most.9 out of 10 students will answer “math”.No matter which country you visit，no matter which grade you are in，you may not learn art，geography，chemistry or Chinese，but you always learn math.Why is this so?How come so many students hate math，and yet cannot avoid learning it in school?Jenny Sanders，a high school student in California，asks，“What good do we get from learning math?We can use computers to compute numbers，and we can use computers to store information.I think learning math at school is a waste of time.”However，there is much more to math than just learning to add and subtract(减) numbers.In fact，math is not so much about calculation (计算) as it is about learning to think logically (逻辑地) and solving problems.Of course，Jenny was right that we can use computers to do calculations，but how would we even know how to use the computer if we can't think logically?In short，computers are only tools when solving problems.For example，imagine you are a cook and must serve dinner to 100 guests.How should you divide your resources so that you can get the job done most efficiently (高效地)?In situations like this，the ability to think logically will get you to a reasonable answer and solve your problem.21.According to the passage，which subject do students always learn in different grades at school?A.Chinese.B.Math.C.Geography.22.What does Jenny Sanders think of learning math?A.Interesting.B.Boring.eless.23.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.90% of the students hate learning math.B.Students can learn math well with computers.C.Math can do calculations and store information.24.What does the underlined word “resources” mean in the passage?A.科目B.效率C.资源25.What does the writer want to tell us?A.Math is just learning to add and subtract numbers.B.Math can be good for both our body and our mind.C.Math helps us think logically and solve problems.(六)Fiftythree years ago Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in the world of toys.Since then，Barbie doll，as everyone called her，has become the most successful toy doll in history.Her parent，the Mattel Company，said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie

Critical thinking(批判性思维) is trying to improve the way you think. People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims(评估主张).Like every other skill, critical thinking takes practice. When a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it. When we see an advertisement, for example, we should stop and think. Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true, and then people can buy the products. But is what the advertisement says true? Is it making a claim? Or does it only interest us? Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices. In fact, we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see.Practice makes perfect. While you are growing in critical thinking, you’ll become a wiser and more thoughtful person. There are many ways of doing practice. Here are a few.★Read about a topic people disagree on. Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject. For each side of the subject, think carefully and evaluate it.★When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why?★Evaluate your own thinking. Where and why do you think uncritically? How can you improve?Critical thinking should be part of everything we do. It may help you to succeed at work or school. Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking. Change your thoughts and change your world.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

Then we can use the electricity. A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Windmills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren't dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries,that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.()6.Why DON'T new windmills kill birds?

About 80 years ago.C. About 500 years ago.D. Over 1，000 years ago.()8.，so we CAN'T use wind power all the time.A. Windmills break all the timeB. We can't use windmills at nightC. Windmills are too expensive to use all the timeD. Wind doesn't blow all the time()9.What does the article say about wind power?A. Most people don't like it.B. It's getting cheaper.C. Denmark doesn't use it.D. It's getting more expensive.()10.What is the best title for the passage?A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean EnergyC. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD.

Basically, they believe that anyone can develop their abilities in anything. The opposition of the growth mindset is the fixed mindset. People with the fixed one believe that intelligence and skills are innate—it's something that were born with and there is no room for change.All of us are a mixture of both the growth and fixed mindsets. In some areas of our lives, we work with the growth mindset while in others, the fixed mindset. A lot of researches suggest that people with the growth mindset seem to be more successful than people with the fixed mindset. For example, a study found that students with a growth mindset were three times more likely to score in the top 20% on the test, while students with a fixed minds were four times more likely to score in the bottom 20%. Another study found that 7th graders who took part in a growth mindset program were able to avoid a drop in grades.People with the growth mindset are much more resilient (有韧性的), which allows them to deal with challenging and difficult situations. Because they think about learning first over failure and they are unafraid to take risks. On the other hand, people with the fixed mindset don't want to challenge themselves because to them, failure once means failure always.We know that the brain can keep learning until the day we die. It also seems quite clear that if people want to be successful, they must work hard and keep trying even when they meet difficulties. Now you know why the growth mindset is important. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of efforts to develop a growth mindset and that it'll always be a hard fight to avoid falling into the fixed mindset.11．What does the underlined word "innate" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Changeable.B．Natural.C．Trainable.D．Growing.12．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．People with mixed mindsets are smarter.B．Growth mindset may help achieve more.C．20% of students could get the top scores.D．The scores of 7th graders stop dropping.13．What would people with the growth mindset see "losing a match" as?A．A learning way.B．A fixed result.C．A useless risk.D．A silly mistake.14．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A．To explain why we have different mindsets.B．To discuss the advantages of mixed mindsets.C．To compare the growth mindset with the fixed one.D．To encourage people to develop the growth mindset.15．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science magazine.B．A science fiction.C．A medical book.D．A story book.阅读理解Many farmers prefer to remove natural habitats (栖息地) to keep wild birds, and any bacteria (细菌) they carry, away from their fields and crops. However, a new study published in 2023 shows that farms near natural habitats get the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.The study showed that the natural habitats played the most important role in deciding whether a farm would get more benefits than harms from wild birds. Without neighboring natural habitats, birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat fruit. At the same time, different farming actions influenced the benefits and costs that birds brought to the farms.The study was done in 21 strawberry fields in California. Together with the data from more than 300 bird surveys, scientists from the University of California also studied 1,000 fecal samples (排泄样本) from 55 kinds of birds. According to the information above, they found out which birds ate pests, beneficial insects and plants, and carried bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked (排序) wild birds to see which were more likely to bring benefits or harms to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, got a "gold star" in the study.The lead researcher, Krap said, "A better understanding of the birds' roles in ecosystem can help farmers bring out the best in the wild birds near their fields." Another similar study in 2020 found that farms with natural habitats attracted more insect-eating birds — and fewer fruit-eating birds — so that farmers got less plant damage on farms. "All together, these studies suggest that farms with natural habitats are good for both plants and birds," said Krap.It is important to know how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harms. Growers may say it's impossible to keep birds off the farms. So how can we make full use of the services birds provide?16．What is the finding of the study in 2023?A．Wild birds in farms increase food-safety risks.B．Farmers should clear out the natural habitats.C．Birds in natural habitats carry more bacteria to farms.D．Farms near natural habitats benefit most from birds.17．Which is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．Who did the study.B．When the study ended.C．How the study was done.D．Where the study was done.18．Why is a study in 2020 mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．To describe the difficulties.B．To compare ways of the two studies.C．To support the study in 2023.D．To give background information.19．What influences farms most according to the passage?A．Prices of neighboring farmlands.B．Management of the neighboring land.C．Size of natural habitats near farms.D．Location of natural habitats for birds.20．The study was done mainly to help ____.A．the scientists B．the studentsC．the farmers D．the officers(10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
