Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist.The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment.Schools have been replaced with"Learning Hubs"that are not restricted to certain ages.They are where intergenerational learning happens,in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year,Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive"teacher-citizen".Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community.She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively.Access to education is universal,and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly.Variability between students is expected and leveraged(利用)as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength.Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets.She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally:Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080,what does it look like,who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies?
(1)、What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A、There are different types of education. B、The present education needs improvements. C、Education and economy are closely associated. D、The goal of future education is fundamentally different.(2)、What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?A、It accepts students of all ages. B、It promotes competition. C、It discourages individualized learning. D、It is all about play-based learning.(3)、What does the underlined word "mandatory" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Tough. B、Satisfactory. C、Optional. D、Required.(4)、What is the suitable title for the text?A、An Example to All B、A Vision for Education C、A Challenge for Education D、A Journey into the Future13. 阅读理解Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass? They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called "zoo pharmacognosy" or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other's fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
(1)、Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree?A、They would like to digest what they eat. B、They are trying to cure diseases. C、They are attracting companions' attention. D、They feel like occupying the land.(2)、What do researchers find through camera-traps?A、Animals can help each other clean the fur. B、Many animals copy monkeys' behaviors. C、Resin can be used as medicine for some animals D、The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys.(3)、What does the underlined word "magnitude" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Characteristics. B、Populations. C、Flexibilities. D、Similarities.(4)、What is the possible significance of the discovery?A、Increasing the production of resin. B、Promoting evolution of creatures. C、Motivating the study of monkeys' diet. D、Contributing to forest conservation.14. 阅读理解Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.
(1)、What is Droll's idea about forgiveness?A、People should offer mercy to others. B、People who forgive can have their own welfare affected. C、Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D、Aggressive people should learn to forgive.(2)、What does the example in Paragraph 2 illustrate?A、To forgive is to love. B、To fight is to grow. C、To dominate is to harm. D、To give is to receive.(3)、What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness?A、Objective. B、Reserved. C、Favorable. D、Skeptical.(4)、What is message of the last paragraph?A、It takes practice to forgive. B、Forgiveness grows with time. C、Actuality is based on potentiality. D、Forgiveness is in our nature.四、第二部分,阅读理解,第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

15. 根据短文内容,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。
Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.
Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren't the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.
Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can't fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep.
Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn't a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person's body is their own musical preferences. For those who don't want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.
A.It can guarantee sufficient sleep.
B.It's natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep.
C.The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age.
D.Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings.
E.This can have a serious effect on a person's quality of life if it continues.
F.People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music.
G.Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past.

19. 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。As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry (咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family's all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn't just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch.
"Ava, come sit here!" Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn't belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack "normal" western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, "Isn't there a moment when you feel proud of your origin?" That was hurting, but not more hurting than others' giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn't take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any "normal" food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible "oh-no" seconds, I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). "What do you have for lunch?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn't hungry. But Ricky wouldn't let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as "Ew" or "What is that?"
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。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.
……
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow's lunch.
