B An elm tree was planted in the first half of the 20th century on a farm in Michigan, US. In the 1950s, the family that owned the farm kept a bull chained to it. The bull walked around the tree, pulling a heavy iron chain, which made a groove (沟 in the tree about a meter off the ground. The groove deepened over the years, though for whatever reason, it didn't kill the tree. After some years, the family sold the farm and took their bull with them. They cut the chain, leaving most of it hanging down from the tree. Eventually, bark (树皮) slowly covered the old chain. Then one year later, disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch elm disease. It left a path of death across vast areas. All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm were infected and died. Everyone figured that the old elm tree would be next. There was no way the tree could last, with its age and the chain hanging off its trunk. The present owners considered pulling the chain out and chopping the tree up into firewood before it died. But they simply couldn't bring themselves to do it. It was as if the old tree had become a family friend, so they decided to let nature take its course. Amazingly, the tree didnt die. Year after year, it grew stronger. Nobody could understand why it was the only elm still standing in the whole area. Experts from Michigan University came to observe the tree later, examining the scar left by the iron chain. The experts decided that it was actually the chain that saved the elms life. They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune to Dutch elm disease. Its said that what doesnt kill you will make you stronger. So if youre ever in Michigan, look for that beautiful elm tree. Look for the wound made by the chain - it serves as a reminder that even with wounds, we can still have hope. Our wounds can give us the resources we need to cope and survive. They can truly make us strong.24. What is the right order of the events related to the elm tree?a.

C Lying alongside mountains of smelly garbage under the South American sun, Cateura is a long way from the music schools of Prague or Vienna. Yet the township, which grew out of Paraguay's largest dump (垃圾场)，is gaining a reputation as a hothouse for musical talentand for its youth orchestra that plays instruments made from garbage. "The world sends us garbage. We send back music," says Favio Chavez, leader of the "Recycled Orchestra". Orchestra members, poor children from Cateura, play violins fashioned from oven trays and guitars made from dessert dishes. The orchestra provides the youngsters an outlet and an escape, a chance to go beyond the mess of their slum through the music of Mozart, and even Sinatra. "In the beginning, it was difficult to play," says the l0-year-old violinist Celeste Fleitas. "But Favio helped me learn over time.

He knew shop-bought instruments were beyond the means of villagers whose sheds are worth less than a violin, so he approached a carpenter to make some out of waste from the dump. The orchestra caught the eye of Paraguayan filmmaker Alejandra Amarilla. She uploaded a short piece of the orchestra to YouTube in 2022, hoping to secure crowdfunding for what would become Landfill Harmonic, a documentary released across the United States this month and promoting the youngsters on a tour of the world's music halls later on.28.

The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students cortisol levels(皮质醇水平, which are a biological indicator of stress. Researchers collected saliva(唾液samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students' cortisol levels went up. Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems. "This suggests that stress spreading might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers," said Eva Oberle, the study s lead author. "It is unknown what came first-raised cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom." Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may influence teachers' ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can lead to students' needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in raised cortisol levels in students. Alternatively, stress could start from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this case, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout. "Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as class sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut," said Oberle. "It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and get rid of stress in the classroom," said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl. "If we do not support teachers, we risk the additional damage of students."32. Students are generally believed to feel stressed because of .A. academic difficulties and mental health problems.B. lack of support for teachers and growing class sizes.C. heavy study burden and pressure from other students.D. poor classroom management and overstrict teachers.33.

Student stress results from teachers' emotional exhaustion.C. They are closely related and may contribute to each other.D. Teachers suffer burnout because of more challenging students.34.

Professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl seemed to believe that .A. students should be taught to show respect for their teachers.B. teachers are generally to blame for not meeting students' needs.C. students should learn to control their behaviors to please their teachers.D. teachers should be provided with more resources and support in their profession.第二节共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With the Christmas Day, the New Year, as well as the Spring Festival plus the Valentine's Day on the way, the gift-giving season has been in full swing. When receiving a gift contrary to your expectation, some will feel annoyed and it may lead to quarrelling. 36 Don't expect a specific gift First of all, before you've even opened the present, you need to get yourself in the right mind tendency. If you've got a specific gift in mind (say, a new pair of running shoes please Santa!), you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. 37 Have an open mind about it Once you've opened the present and seen whatever it may be, give yourself a moment. Dont react until you've had a proper look at the thing. 38 . Instead you should take it seriously and consider why it is. With that in mind, try to figure out whether you could, in fact, learn to love it. 39 . Right after you say "thank you!" and before you say anything else, you need to find something positive to comment about the gift. It could be something as small as the fact that you like the color of ii. It could be that you think it's practical. If you begin with the word of praise, the whole thing will be much easier. Skillfully ask about the gift receipt If you've decided that you're likely not going to use the thing at all, ask about the gift receipt skillfully. Now you should give a seemingly convincing reason for wanting it. For example, if it's a clothing item, you could say that it's in case it doesn't quite fit. 40 . Let the gift-giver feel at ease. No matter what you receive, always remember to see things in others' shoes.A. Don't be casual about it.B. Find something to speak highly of.C. Your friendship may come to an end.D. Get your gift ready before leaving home.E. Therefore, how to handle it appropriately is vital.F. If it's a glass item, say you just want to have it in case it breaks.G. Unless you've told the gift-giver your favorites, you have to accept it.第三局部 英语知识运用共两节，总分值35分第一节完形填空共20小题；每题1分，总分值20分 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 "It's time to wake up, Catherine," my mom sang from the kitchen.
