If you enter The Malvern School, you’ll find that children are learning on a “light cube”. It’s a sensory lesson, and this activity allows them to add different colours together to see which colours they create when combined. These preschool-age children are not only learning about colour mixing, but also math and experiment execution.
The Malvern School is an innovative private preschool that serves children from 6 weeks to 8 years old.“ Some schools have a pre-purchased curriculum (课程) that they need to follow, but we do not,” said Christle Seal, Program Operations Manager at The Malvern School. “Our curriculum is based on the needs of the individual children.” The teachers all have training experience in early childhood education, allowing them to help the children and keep them challenged.
Besides, teachers are encouraged to follow a flexible curriculum, making it stand out among other schools. For example, a shorter lesson could turn into a day’s exploration of a more particular topic. “It gives teachers the opportunity to decide what skills each child needs to learn, what interests them and how to teach them,” Seal said. “As educators, we should learn to adjust the lesson according to the children.”
There is a lot of work on creative thinking skills and making sure the children are prepared to be 21stcentury learners. Children in the school do not need to sit and memorize things; they are learning by doing. They are learning in an effective way. They are also learning to enjoy school.
The Malvern School students have the opportunity to link different lessons in a variety of subjects, including science, technology, engineering, art and math. In addition, early literacy (读写能力) is also popular in the school. Based on the 1991 radio program, Mrs. Bush’s Story Time, which encouraged families to read with their children, The Malvern School has developed a series of children’s books based on the original radio program.
4. What is special about the curriculum of The Malvern School
A. It is free for all the children. B. It varies with the children’s needs.
C. It attaches no importance to textbooks. D. It provides training service for parents.
5 What do we know about the teachers in the Malvern School
A. They are creative. B. They stand out among other schools.
C. They have more room to decide what to teach. D. They have to teach longer lesson than other schools.
6. Students in The Malvern School are more likely to be _____.
A. generous and honest B. determined and confident
C. creative and enthusiastic D. independent and hard-working
7. What is the best tittle for the text
A. Malvern School, one that puts students’ need first.
B. Malvern School, one whose teachers are excellent.
C. Malvern School, one whose students are imaginative.
D. Malvern School, one whose curriculums are flexible.

Researchers recently discovered that mosquitoes who have their sleep interrupted would rather get rest than go looking for their next meal. “It was a bit surprising. Sleep deprived (睡眠不足) or not, a blood meal should appeal to them,” said Oluwaseun Ajayi, the leader of the study.
To study mosquitoes researchers spent more than a year developing ways to analyze how they sleep, and to show the posture of mosquitoes accurately and count their amount of sleep. It was particularly challenging because of something researchers call the “observer effect”. This is when the act of just observing something can change its outcome. In the case of mosquitoes, they’re able to sense that people are nearby due to their body heat, movement, smells and breath. To deal with those circumstances, researchers set up the experiment in a quiet lab where the mosquitoes were several rooms away from anybody who might pass by. They placed cameras and infrared sensors (红外传感器) in the room so they could record whenever the mosquitoes moved without any risk of disturbing them.
Researchers found that the mosquitoes in the lab slept between 16 and 19 hours each day. When mosquitoes were actually in a sleep-like state, their hind legs are lowered, and they bring in their bodies closer to the surface where they are resting. Then, researchers moved their sound equipment regularly at night or during the day to subject them to sleep deprivation. More than three-quarters of the mosquitoes that got to sleep normally went hunting for a blood meal when they were awake. But less than one-quarter wanted to eat after a sleepless night.
Mosquitoes can spread serious diseases to humans. By understanding the sleep rhythms of insects, researchers hope to find new methods to prevent the spread of infections. “In fruit flies, a link between sleep and immunity (免疫力) has been established. And immunity is an important factor for disease transmission in mosquitoes,” Ajayi says. “Based on this, this research would provide us with an understanding of the role of sleep on the disease transmission in mosquitoes.”
8. What did the researchers recently find
A. The regular sleep patterns of mosquitoes.
B. An effective way to prevent mosquito bites.
C. The lack of sleep increases the death of mosquitoes.
D. Sleep deprivation influences mosquitoes’ eating behaviors.
9. What is the challenge of the experiment
A. Interrupting the sleep of mosquitoes. B. Avoiding the impacts of observers’ act.
C. Figuring out the number of mosquitoes. D. Placing suitable equipment in the laboratory.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The results of the experiment. B. The process of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The significance of the experiment.
11. What do researchers expect to do with this study
A. Conduct research on sleep rhythms of humans. B. Explore new means of improving human sleep.
C. Help reduce the diseases spread by mosquitoes. D. Present the relationship between sleep and immunity.
D
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 took place in Las Vegas, US. The event shows off some of the coolest new inventions.
One is a robot companion. It helps people around the house. It uses artificial intelligence (Al). AI is when a computer can learn from experience. It can do things that need usually human intelligence. The robot controls household appliances. It keeps an eye on pets. It even patrols like a mini security guard.
Al technology is in many more products at CES 2024. A smart fridge was made by Samsung. It can recognize up to 33 food items. It suggests recipes that will use up what you have.
In video gaming, two companies used AI to create more natural non-playable characters (NPCs). Usually when you meet a character in a game, what they say to you or how they react will have been pre-programmed or coded by the game's creators. The creators of say they are different. They can react spontaneously.
Technology company LG showed a transparent television. It's wireless. This means it can be put anywhere. You can even put it in front of a window. The screen can be kept clear, so you can see what's behind it. Or users can block out the background. It also has a screensaver feature that can play relaxing scenes such as fish swimming around in a tank.
Hairdryers also got an upgrade. The AirLight Pro was created by L’Oreal. It copies the effects of the Sun and wind. It uses infrared (a type of light energy that humans can't see but feel as heat). The company says it dries hair faster, causing less damage, and uses less energy.
Finally, for children, there is the Droyd Venym electric scooterboard (滑板车). It is basically a seat, low to the ground, with legs and four wheels. You control it with handles. Its top speed is three miles per hour.
12. What can’t a robot companion do according to the passage
A. Watch over pets. B. Assist others around the house.
C. Learn from human intelligence. D. Secure around the house.
13. What does the underlined word “spontaneously” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. naturally B. personally C. purposely D. emotionally
14. Which product is energy-efficient according to the passage
A. A smart fridge made by Samsung.
B. Hairdryers updated by L’Oreal.
C. A transparent television showed by LG.
D. A scooterboard launched by Droyd Venym.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A AI applications at CES.
B. AI technology in products at CES.
C. Some of new inventions showed at CES.
D. Some of technology companies at CES.

The science of setting goals
It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves. Our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time. ____16____ But what if this year really could be different Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist at Stanford University, shares four research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals.
Choose a goal that matters, not just an easy win.
Our brains love rewards, so we often set simple goals that make it easy to check off boxes. But if that’s all our New Year’s resolutions are about, no wonder we end up quitting them so quickly. A meaningful goal requires going deeper. ____17____
____18____
When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending when we’ve reached the goal. But we can’t control outcomes. We have to head slowly toward them, one choice at a time. Ask yourself, “What is the smallest thing I can do today that helps me reach my goal " If you make daily choices that are consistent with your goal over and over again, you will eventually reach it.
Express your goals positively.
____19____ Focusing on what you want to bring into your life — not what you want to avoid — will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to set off inhibition systems, while positive goals are going to set off approach and reward motivation,” says McGonigal.
Prepare for failure in a good way
Moments of failure are unavoidable, but most of us quit the goal entirely when minor failures and setbacks start showing up. ____20____ For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can help you through.
A. All can be changed in a new year.
B. Focus on the process, not the outcome.
C. Reach your goals by making daily choices.
D. How you describe your goal makes a big difference.
E. Never mind that we quitted them very quickly last year.
F. Your task is not to avoid failures, but to plan for them.
G. Think about what you want, and then ask yourself why you want that three times in a row.

After a hard day’s work, I usually go shopping in the nearby commercial center to relieve my tiredness.
Last Monday, I was in the commercial center as usual and I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop. I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch laid out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather obvious that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I then joined the line and waited to be served.
Then one thing that made me unforgettable happened. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man, a little confused, not fully understanding the request.
“Please help me give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the 20 dollars,” the young man said to the server.
At that time, the server hesitated for a moment and said, “I am a little scared for his behavior and appearance.”
“Don’t worry. I have the confidence that he is a kind and warm-heated gentleman. He is just in need of some kind of help and has a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I will be watching every second so that you will be completely safe at all times,” the young man added.
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。
Then the server approached the old gentleman slowly.

I wondered there must be some reason for the young man not to do the act of kindness himself.

If you enter The Malvern School, you’ll find that children are learning on a “light cube”. It’s a sensory lesson, and this activity allows them to add different colours together to see which colours they create when combined. These preschool-age children are not only learning about colour mixing, but also math and experiment execution.
The Malvern School is an innovative private preschool that serves children from 6 weeks to 8 years old.“ Some schools have a pre-purchased curriculum (课程) that they need to follow, but we do not,” said Christle Seal, Program Operations Manager at The Malvern School. “Our curriculum is based on the needs of the individual children.” The teachers all have training experience in early childhood education, allowing them to help the children and keep them challenged.
Besides, teachers are encouraged to follow a flexible curriculum, making it stand out among other schools. For example, a shorter lesson could turn into a day’s exploration of a more particular topic. “It gives teachers the opportunity to decide what skills each child needs to learn, what interests them and how to teach them,” Seal said. “As educators, we should learn to adjust the lesson according to the children.”
There is a lot of work on creative thinking skills and making sure the children are prepared to be 21stcentury learners. Children in the school do not need to sit and memorize things; they are learning by doing. They are learning in an effective way. They are also learning to enjoy school.
The Malvern School students have the opportunity to link different lessons in a variety of subjects, including science, technology, engineering, art and math. In addition, early literacy (读写能力) is also popular in the school. Based on the 1991 radio program, Mrs. Bush’s Story Time, which encouraged families to read with their children, The Malvern School has developed a series of children’s books based on the original radio program.

Researchers recently discovered that mosquitoes who have their sleep interrupted would rather get rest than go looking for their next meal. “It was a bit surprising. Sleep deprived (睡眠不足) or not, a blood meal should appeal to them,” said Oluwaseun Ajayi, the leader of the study.
To study mosquitoes, researchers spent more than a year developing ways to analyze how they sleep, and to show the posture of mosquitoes accurately and count their amount of sleep. It was particularly challenging because of something researchers call the “observer effect”. This is when the act of just observing something can change its outcome. In the case of mosquitoes, they’re able to sense that people are nearby due to their body heat, movement, smells and breath. To deal with those circumstances, researchers set up the experiment in a quiet lab where the mosquitoes were several rooms away from anybody who might pass by. They placed cameras and infrared sensors (红外传感器) in the room so they could record whenever the mosquitoes moved without any risk of disturbing them.
Researchers found that the mosquitoes in the lab slept between 16 and 19 hours each day. When mosquitoes were actually in a sleep-like state, their hind legs are lowered, and they bring in their bodies closer to the surface where they are resting. Then, researchers moved their sound equipment regularly at night or during the day to subject them to sleep deprivation. More than three-quarters of the mosquitoes that got to sleep normally went hunting for a blood meal when they were awake. But less than one-quarter wanted to eat after a sleepless night.
Mosquitoes can spread serious diseases to humans. By understanding the sleep rhythms of insects, researchers hope to find new methods to prevent the spread of infections. “In fruit flies, a link between sleep and immunity (免疫力) has been established. And immunity is an important factor for disease transmission in mosquitoes,” Ajayi says. “Based on this, this research would provide us with an understanding of the role of sleep on the disease transmission in mosquitoes.”
8. What did the researchers recently find
A. The regular sleep patterns of mosquitoes.
B. An effective way to prevent mosquito bites.
C. The lack of sleep increases the death of mosquitoes.
D. Sleep deprivation influences mosquitoes’ eating behaviors.
9. What is the challenge of the experiment
A. Interrupting the sleep of mosquitoes. B. Avoiding the impacts of observers’ act.
C. Figuring out the number of mosquitoes. D. Placing suitable equipment in the laboratory.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The results of the experiment. B. The process of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The significance of the experiment.
11. What do researchers expect to do with this study
A. Conduct research on sleep rhythms of humans. B. Explore new means of improving human sleep.
C. Help reduce the diseases spread by mosquitoes. D. Present the relationship between sleep and immunity.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 took place in Las Vegas, US. The event shows off some of the coolest new inventions.
One is a robot companion. It helps people around the house. It uses artificial intelligence (Al). AI is when a computer can learn from experience. It can do things that need usually human intelligence. The robot controls household appliances. It keeps an eye on pets. It even patrols like a mini security guard.
Al technology is in many more products at CES 2024. A smart fridge was made by Samsung. It can recognize up to 33 food items. It suggests recipes that will use up what you have.
In video gaming, two companies used AI to create more natural non-playable characters (NPCs). Usually when you meet a character in a game, what they say to you or how they react will have been pre-programmed or coded by the game's creators. The creators of say they are different. They can react spontaneously.
Technology company LG showed a transparent television. It's wireless. This means it can be put anywhere. You can even put it in front of a window. The screen can be kept clear, so you can see what's behind it. Or users can block out the background. It also has a screensaver feature that can play relaxing scenes such as fish swimming around in a tank.
Hairdryers also got an upgrade. The AirLight Pro was created by L’Oreal. It copies the effects of the Sun and wind. It uses infrared (a type of light energy that humans can't see but feel as heat). The company says it dries hair faster, causing less damage, and uses less energy.
Finally, for children, there is the Droyd Venym electric scooterboard (滑板车). It is basically a seat, low to the ground, with legs and four wheels. You control it with handles. Its top speed is three miles per hour.
12. What can’t a robot companion do according to the passage
A. Watch over pets. B. Assist others around the house.
C. Learn from human intelligence. D. Secure around the house.
13. What does the underlined word “spontaneously” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. naturally B. personally C. purposely D. emotionally
14. Which product is energy-efficient according to the passage
A. A smart fridge made by Samsung.
B. Hairdryers updated by L’Oreal.
C. A transparent television showed by LG.
D. A scooterboard launched by Droyd Venym.

The science of setting goals
It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves. Our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time. ____16____ But what if this year really could be different Kelly McGonigal, a psychologist at Stanford University, shares four research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals.
Choose a goal that matters, not just an easy win.
Our brains love rewards, so we often set simple goals that make it easy to check off boxes. But if that’s all our New Year’s resolutions are about, no wonder we end up quitting them so quickly. A meaningful goal requires going deeper. ____17____
____18____
When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending when we’ve reached the goal. But we can’t control outcomes. We have to head slowly toward them, one choice at a time. Ask yourself, “What is the smallest thing I can do today that helps me reach my goal " If you make daily choices that are consistent with your goal over and over again, you will eventually reach it.
Express your goals positively.
____19____ Focusing on what you want to bring into your life — not what you want to avoid — will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to set off inhibition systems, while positive goals are going to set off approach and reward motivation,” says McGonigal.
Prepare for failure in a good way
Moments of failure are unavoidable but most of us quit the goal entirely when minor failures and setbacks start showing up. ____20____ For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can help you through.
A. All can be changed in a new year.
B. Focus on the process, not the outcome.
C. Reach your goals by making daily choices.
D. How you describe your goal makes a big difference.
E. Never mind that we quitted them very quickly last year.
F. Your task is not to avoid failures, but to plan for them.
G. Think about what you want, and then ask yourself why you want that three times in a row.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个帮助你实现目标的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It’s the time of year when we think to ourselves. Our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time.(每年的这个时候，我们都会自言自语。这次我们的新年决心会完全实现的)”以及后文“But what if this year really could be different (但如果今年真的会有所不同呢？)”可知，后文提到了今年有所不同，推测之前的决心被放弃了。故E选项“不要介意我们去年很快就放弃了”符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Our brains love rewards, so we often set simple goals that make it easy to check off boxes. But if that’s all our New Year’s resolutions are about, no wonder we end up quitting them so quickly. A meaningful goal requires going deeper.(我们的大脑喜欢奖励，所以我们经常设定简单的目标，这样很容易完成。但如果这就是我们新年决心的全部，难怪我们这么快就放弃了。一个有意义的目标需要更深入)”可知，上文提到了一个有意义的目标需要更深入，故本句承接上文，说明如何深入了解自己的目标。故G选项“想想你想要什么，然后连续三次问自己为什么你想要这个”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据本段内容“When we set goals, it’s easy to focus on that magical ending when we’ve reached the goal. But we can’t control outcomes. We have to head slowly toward them, one choice at a time. Ask yourself, “What is the smallest thing I can do today that helps me reach my goal ” If you make daily choices that are consistent with your goal over and over again, you will eventually reach it.(当我们设定目标时，当我们达到目标时，很容易把注意力集中在神奇的结局上。但我们无法控制结果。我们必须慢慢地朝着他们前进，一次选择一个。问问自己：“今天我能做的最微不足道的事情是什么？”如果你每天的选择都与你的目标一致，你最终会实现它)”可知，后文提到无法控制结果，说明应该关注过程，故B选项“关注过程，而不是结果”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Focusing on what you want to bring into your life — not what you want to avoid — will make you more likely to actually pursue it. “Any sort of avoidance is going to set off inhibition systems, while positive goals are going to set off approach and reward motivation,” says McGonigal.(专注于你想带给你生活的东西——而不是你想避免的东西——会让你更有可能去追求它。“任何形式的回避都会引发抑制系统，而积极的目标会引发接近和奖励动机，”McGonigal说)”可知，后文提到了回避和积极两种方式，说明描述目标的方式不同，结果也不同。故D选项“你如何描述你的目标会有很大的不同”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据后文“For example, if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack that can help you through.(例如，如果你饿的时候可能会选择不健康的食物，那就带点零食来帮助你度过难关)”可知，后文的例子表明，当无法避免失败的时候，应该为失败提前做好准备。故F选项“你的任务不是避免失败，而是为失败做准备”符合语境，故选F。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After a hard day’s work, I usually go shopping in the nearby commercial center to relieve my tiredness.
Last Monday, I was in the commercial center as usual and I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop. I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch laid out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather obvious that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I then joined the line and waited to be served.
Then one thing that made me unforgettable happened. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man, a little confused, not fully understanding the request.
“Please help me give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the 20 dollars,” the young man said to the server.
At that time, the server hesitated for a moment and said, “I am a little scared for his behavior and appearance.”
“Don’t worry. I have the confidence that he is a kind and warm-heated gentleman. He is just in need of some kind of help and has a problem with his right eye and probably couldn’t see out of it. I will be watching every second so that you will be completely safe at all times,” the young man added.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

【答案】范文
Then the server approached the old gentleman slowly. “Hello, the orange juice and the money for you,” the server said with a little cautiousness. Hearing that, the old gentleman was very surprised at the unexpected event. Knowing what had happened, he took them with a big smile, stood up and bowed to the server and the young man. The server felt relaxed immediately and talked happily with the old gentleman. The young man smiled happily. The old gentleman showed great gratitude to them again after drinking the juice.
I wondered there must be some reason for the young man not to do the act of kindness himself. From the young man’s behavior, I suspected that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old gentleman as well and inspire others to do something when the same things happen around us. Absolutely beautiful! From then on, I made up my mind to let the chain of love pass on and help someone who needs help whenever and wherever possible. Only in this way could more and more people help each other in the future.
