浙江省绍兴市建功中学教育集团2024-2025学年九年级上学期学科素养竞赛英语试卷
①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unluckily, it's possible that students with those thoughts will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?
③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking (批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has their own responsibility.
④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don't be afraid of asking any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold are possible to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents' cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're grateful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

A． He took out his two dollars B． The children had little clothes on C． I have bought no books D． They bought some food, and they were very happy. E． I give you these books for your kindness |
One New-year morning, Edward's father gave him two dollars. He left the house happily. He wanted to buy some books. On the street, he saw a poor family, the father, mother and three children. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, and they were shivering(颤抖).
"Happy New Year!" Edward said to the man. The man shook his head. He couldn't understand English. But he pointed to his mouth. It seemed he was saying, "We have nothing to eat."Edward understood. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, and he gave one dollar to the man, and the other to his wife. Their eyes were full of gratitude! They said something in their language. It probably meant, "Thanks a lot."
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought.
"{#blank#}3{#/blank#}," said Edward, "I gave my money to some poor people. They seemed to be very hungry. I can buy my books until next New Year."
"My dear boy," said his father, "Here are some books. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I saw you give the money to the poor family. Be ready to help the poor and every year will be a happy New Year to you."
It takes time to practice critical（批判性） thinking, but it's never too late to start. The following steps will help people to become critical thinkers.
| Step 1: Ask Questions Critical thinkers start by asking questions. They ask themselves: If this, then what? If that, then how will the result be different? They may think about all possible ideas before they make decisions. |
| Step 2: Look for Answers Critical thinkers search for answers. They make use of all possible tools or interview people for information. Then they analyze （分析） the information with an open mind. They compare and decide what the best answers are. |
| Step 3: … After critical thinkers get new ideas to work out problems, they share these ideas with their teammates and get support from them. During communication with others, better ideas often come up. |
When you study, the first thing to consider is whether you understand the information, and the second is how you will remember it. Some of you probably think you know all about that, right? After all, you have been studying for years. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The advice is for all of you.
First of all, have a plan. You can make a plan for a week or for a longer time. If you' re studying for an important exam, you should make a long-term plan. And you need to check if it works from time to time. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Next, think about your environment. Make sure the place for studying is comfortable with enough light and fresh air, not too hot or too cold. If you think you do it better with music, you can put some music on and see if it's true. Some people work better with music playing. But for many people, it can make it harder to concentrate (集中注意力).
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}You can plan your study time in periods ( 时 间 段 ) with breaks in between. Some Experts recommend ( 推 荐 ) you to take a10-minute break after 30 minutes of studying. If you study for too long without a break, your mind won't work as well as before. During your short break, you can treat yourself to something like green tea, but I wouldn't suggest chocolate because sugar can make it harder to concentrate.
Finally, think about what you do when you' re studying. Some people just read through their books and mark important parts with a pencil. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} However, I suggest writing notes while studying because it helps your mind process(处理) the information better!
A. If that works for you, then great! B. Then, take breaks while studying. C. If it doesn't, adjust your plan in time. D. But there's always room for improvement. E. Third, look through your notes before exams. |
What other advice can you come up with to remember information better when studying? (15 词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
