B
All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (養父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.
He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.
“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.”
This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.
The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.
24. What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs
A. Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself.
B Miss Price knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him.
C. Miss Price didn’t know much about Vincent, but that didn’t stop her wanting to care about him.
D Vincent sat in the back row so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival.
25. Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs
A. To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin.
B. To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers.
C. To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes.
D. To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Vincent
A. Devoted but shy. B. Nervous and uneasy.
C. Untalkative and tough. D. Sensitive but unfortunate.
27. What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates
A. They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.
B. They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.
C. They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.
D. They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.
C
Do we really know our best friends
I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.
It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.
The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed, people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives.
This seems strange, until you consider, that many-of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends.
Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根問底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions.
28. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph
A. To provide background information. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To show the difference between friends.
29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ .
A. friendships B. strangers C. researchers D. benefits
30. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ .
A. close friends usually know each other in depth
B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often
C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends
D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them
31. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept
A. Stay friends but keep a distance.
B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
D. True friends know all about you and still like you.
D
Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making.
Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖論): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.
To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation.
Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think Why ” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions.
Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children’s Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well.
32. What may help solve the group work paradox
A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students.
C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement.
33. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students
A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality.
C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties.
B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class.
C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities.
D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Paradox of Cooperative Learning and Its Solution
B. Impact of Effective Communicators in Group Discussion
C. Teaching Children to Cooperate in Classroom Group Work
D. Exploratory Talk as a Powerful Learning Tool in Group Work

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。
It was Mar 8, 1970. Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled.
“Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry.
“Thanks. It’s from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.”
“So, about the newspapers…” the editor paused. Henry’s smile faded.
“We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV—live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged.
“Um, no! It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye.
A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a note book. First stop: No. 26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics(漫畫) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them ”
“Maybe. I’ll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook.
He stopped at No. 27. Mr. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.”
“Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but… Know any neighbor with experience ”
Mr. Simon was at No. 28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.”
As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter(簡報) for the neighborhood. But now would he print it
He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine(滾筒油印機), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work ” she asked.

“Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. In the evening, he returned to the library with a sheet of carefully designed paper. With trembling hands, he fed the paper into the mimeograph machine, turned the handle and watched with anticipation as the first printed copy rolled out. His first newsletter featured Mr. Grady’s collection of comics from The Gazette, Mrs. Burke’s request for a babysitter, and details about Mr. Simon’s upcoming band concert. He named the little new publication The Weekly Maple Street Newsletter, hoping it could truly keep the neighbors informed and connected. Early the next morning, Henry set off on his old route to deliver his newsletters, feeling a surge of excitement.
The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter. Never in their wildest dreams had they anticipated reading a newsletter so relevant to them, especially after the closure of The Gazette. They held the precious newsletter close to their chests, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Inspired by Henry’s dedication and enthusiasm, more neighbors began contributing their own news, announcements and personal stories, some even volunteering to help with the printing or donating money. With each issue, the newsletter grew in popularity and was eagerly awaited. As Henry created and delivered more newsletters, his heart overflowed with a sense of purpose and fulfillment: the world may have been moving on to TV, but on Maple Street, a new kind of connection had begun.

"Perfect," Henry was confident to carry out his plan. With a newfound sense of purpose, he approached the mimeograph machine, a relic from the past, but for Henry, it was the key to the future. He meticulously gathered stories and updates from his former paper route, transforming them into a digest of community news. After several trials and adjustments to the ink and paper, the first edition of the "Maple Street Chronicles" rolled off the machine, its pages brimming with local flavor and Henry's passion for his neighborhood.
The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter. As Henry distributed the copies, door by door, a wave of nostalgia and excitement washed over the community. "I can't believe it! It's like old times," said Mrs. Grady, holding the newsletter close to her heart. Mr. Burke, with a smile, posted the babysitter advertisement that Henry had included. And Mr. Simon's band concert announcement found its way onto many refrigerator doors. The "Maple Street Chronicles" was more than just a newsletter; it was a bridge connecting the past with the present, a testament to the enduring spirit of community. （169 words）
