A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage(胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk.“What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposalin a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d ne ver known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were fille d with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes.“This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away(眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.【小题1】According to the text, we know the writer’s father was __________.

As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems — more crime, dirtier streets , and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity ), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in city areas.How can we deal with such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is little suitable housing — and beca use houses are too expensive. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for sev eral streets. These problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.Los Angeles, California, for example, has no subway system and buses are slow. Instead, many commuters (乘、开车上班族) drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, however, has a big transport system — buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than that in Los Angeles. A taxi driver complains, “I was driving home, but in forty-five minutes I moved only two miles! Finally, I turned off the engine and just sat there. A lot of people left their cars where they were in the middle of the street and went into a bar for a few beers!”On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use buses or subways to move quickly from one part of the city to another.【小题1】What do some people think is the main problem of the future city like? A．Poor housing.B．Overcrowding.C．Environmental pollution.D．Traffic jams.【小题2】The best way to work out the traffic problem in Los Angels might be_________.A．cutting down the number of private carsB．providing more buses in the freewayC．building a subway systemD．persuading people to live nearer to their workplaces【小题3】Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?A．Thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets.B．The crime rate isn’t going down.C．The traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets. D．Many people have a positive attitude towards the future of the city.12.So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders,______ dying soon after birth.A．many of whichB．many of whomC．many of themD．many of that13.The moment she entered the hall, she felt rather ______ as she was the only person that wore sportswear at the party.A．in placeB．out of placeC．by the wayD．in the way14.—— I think a design which ________ all the ages and social groups is not easy to make.——I can’t agree with you more.A．admits toB．appeals toC．objects toD．sticks to15.—— _______ the computer be repaired by him?——No, I’d rather he _______ it repaired.A．Will; hasB．should; haveC．shall; hadD．Can; has16.One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year talliedthe species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations ofraccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost(首要的) is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from deserted lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.【小题1】The first paragraph suggests that ________.A．environment is vital for wildlifeB．tour books are not always a reliable source of informationC．London is a city of foxD．foxes are highly adaptable to environment【小题2】Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities?A．Food is plentiful in the cities.B．Wildlife is appreciated in the cities.C．Wildlife refuges have been built in the citiesD．Air and water quality has improved in the cities【小题3】It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A．Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos. B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their cityC．Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem17.If there is one thing I’m quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we still be reading newspapers. Not those newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The basic British character won’t change, and one of the characteristics of the British is that we don’t much like talking to each other when we get up. So what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper? Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper. It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun. And it is not just the British who love newspapers. On suburban trains in Calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers, much to everybody’s enjoyment.The nature of what is news may change. What essentially makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific resear ch, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do, whether it’s love or depression. We develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspaper will be transmitted(传送) electronically from the national equivalents of FleetStreet(伦敦的舰队街，以报馆集中而著称) and printed out in our own homes. In fact, I’m pretty sure that that is how it will happen in future. You’ll be probably selecting from a menu, making up your ownbespoke newspaperby picking out the things you want to read and say. You might even have an intelligent screening device (装置) to do the job for you.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. They actually have a relationship, feeding off each other. It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, which hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page is more enduring (持久的) than pictures on a flickering screen or sound lost in the sky. And as for the Internet, it’s never really satisfying to read something just on a screen.【小题1】The author of the passage is most probably from _______________. A．RussiaB．IndiaC．BritainD．America【小题2】According to the passage, the future of newspapers ____________. A．will be mainly connected with scientific researchB．will report more important political activitiesC．will directly cover more on scientific researchD．will build a bridge between different people【小题3】The underlined part “bespoke newspaper” of the passage probably refers to _____________.A．a newspaper which dares to report the truthB．a ne wspaper edited to one’s own interestC．a newspaper edited and published for the publicD．a newspaper which only covers the life of family members【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．It was centuries ago that newspapers came into being .B．Televisions have taken the place of newspapers .C．The Internet will gradually take the place of newspapers.D．The nature of news may remain the same over generations.18.I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something 41 by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the42 even more tragic was that Bob Collins，the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute 43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience 44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more 45 I became.That was because I wanted to know 46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they 47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we 48 someone up after they have died? Yes，49 memory after memory about someone's good 50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we 51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear 52 .Just once, 53 a gathering of death，1 would like to see a celebration of life, 54 stories are told, tears fall down，laughter rings out；and as the speaker 55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are 56 rises from the chair and gives them a 57 hug! Wouldn’t that be 58 !Life is too short to leave kind words 59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes，we could say 60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.【小题1】A．importantB．wrongC．pleasantD．unnoticed【小题2】A．speakerB．radioC．stationD．story【小题3】A．driveB．silenceC．rideD．tourA．poured in B．grew up C．broke out D．got through【小题5】A．determined B．delighted C．discouraged D．devoted【小题6】A．what B．thatC．ifD．why【小题7】A．impress B．love C．mean D．affect【小题8】A．bring B．build C．pick D．bury【小题9】A．recovering B．showing C．sharing D．losing【小题10】A．qualities B．manners C．records D．attitudes 【小题11】A．barelyC．suddenly D．finally【小题12】A．him B．them C．itD．us【小题13】A．as for B．apart from C．except for D．instead of 【小题14】A．where B．because C．whether D．which【小题15】A．mentions B．writes C．pays D．ends【小题16】A．staring B．listening C．honoring D．talking 【小题17】A．tight B．quick C．cold D．necessary【小题18】A．anything B．nothing C．everythingD．something【小题19】A．untouchedB．unsaidC．unfinishedD．unpacked【小题20】A．helloB．sorryC．goodbyeD．thanks19.根据短文内容，从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

浙江省四校联考2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) supports a wide variety of programs to ensure that all youth have the skills and training they need to successfully make the switch to adulthood and careers. These programs include: ApprenticeshipApprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and related classroom instruction in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. Applicants for apprenticeship programs must be at least 16 years old and meet the program sponsor's qualifications.YouthBuildYouthBuild programs give at-risk youth ages 16-24 the opportunity to transform their lives by earning their high school certificate of graduation or an equally state-recognized degree, learning to be community leaders, and preparing for college and other post-secondary training opportunities.Job CorpsJob Corps is the nation's largest and most comprehensive residential, education, and job training program for at-risk youth, ages 16 through 24. Private companies, state agencies, federal agencies, and unions recruit(招募) young people to participate in Job Corps, where they can train for and be placed in jobs.Youth ConnectionsThe Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 is carrying out a comprehensive youth employment program for serving qualified youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education , training, and employment.For more information about youth programs, visit ETA's Division of Youth Services page. 1．What can participants do in the YouthBuild?A. Lead the state communities.B. Study theories of skilled work.C. Obtain a graduation certificate.D. Prepare for secondary training.2．Which program is suitable for teenagers aged 15?A. Apprenticeship.B. YouthBuild.C. Job Corps.D. Youth Connections.3．What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To improve youth training.B.To advertise for youth services.C. To transform youth development.D. To introduce ETA youth programs.In 2016, when I was on the graduate scheme (计划) at Deutsche Bank, Marie Inafidon, chief executive of Stemettes, who encourages girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) , was also working there. I didn't meet her at the time, but I did read an article about her and her career.Learning at 21 years old about the career of a young black woman' succeeding in a traditionally white male-dominated industry was one of the most influential things that ever happened to me. It gave me confidence that it was possible to do well in the office and work on personal external project at the same time.Role models can play a central role in shaping a young professional's career. They are especially important if you belong to an under-represented group for whom a lack of representation in the workplace can lead to feeling isolated and lacking in confidence. They can help those just starting out, whether or not they are a graduate as I was, to believe in their own abilities.There's a growing need to have accessible role models. Given the tendency to exaggerate (夸大) success stories, hearing from women who talk honestly about the challenges they have faced, either when starting a business or forming a new career path, is much more effective. A study revealed that 70 per cent of girls say they think differently about their futures after hearing from women role models.I'm frequently asked about what businesses could be doing to increase racial diversity in the workplace. A good starting point is to actively promote and support the voices of the people in the organisation that are leading positive change and inspiring others. This makes a real difference. Unlike the tokenism (装样子) I still come across, which results in individuals being made the lone representative for a group without real support from the organisation.Things came full circle for me when I interviewed Ms. Inafidon for my book in 2019. I was able to tell her of the incredible impact her passion and confidence had had on me as a graduate trainee and how grateful I would always be for that.4．What do we learn about Marie Inafidon?A. She became successful at 21.B. She was a trainee at Deutsche Bank.C. She encouraged girls to take up STEM-related work.D. She helped the author with her external project personally.5．Who can benefit most from role models in the work place according to the third paragraph?A. Experienced professionals.B. A graduate eager to succeed.C. People without special abilities.D. The young from an under-represented group. 6．What is effective in changing girls' mindset?A. Taking on challenging projects.B. Reading more made-up success stories.C. Starting their own business as early as possible.D. Listening to women role models share their experiences.7．What should businesses do to increase racial diversity in the workplace according to the author?A. Encourage positive opinions.B. Make more colored people authorities.C. Include more people of different races.D. Understand the true meaning of tokenism.New York University (NYU) surgeons have performed the world's first transplant of an entire human eye, an extraordinary addition to a face transplant, although it's far too soon to know if the man will ever see through his new left eye.An accident had destroyed most of Aaron James' face and one eye. His right eye still works. But the surgeons hoped replacing the missing one would produce better cosmetic (整容的) results for his new face. The NYU team is doing just that. James is recovering well from the dual (双重的) transplant last May and the donated eye looks remarkably healthy.Today, transplants of the cornea(眼角膜) are common to treat certain types of vision loss. But transplanting the whole eye—the eyeball, its blood supply, and the critical optic nerve(视神经) that must connect it to the brain-is considered a moonshot in the search to cure blindness.Whatever will happen next, James' surgery offers scientists a window into how the human eye tries to heal. "We're not claiming that we are going to restore sight," said Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, who led the transplant. "But there's no doubt that we are one step closer."Some specialists had feared the eye would quickly become dry and wrinkled. However, when Rodriguez opened James' left eyelid, the donated eye was fat and full of liquid. Doctors see good blood flow and no sign of rejection.Now researchers have begun analyzing scans (扫描结果) of James' brain that detected some puzzling signals from that all-important but injured optic nerve. Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg, who has long studied how to make eye transplants a reality, called the surgery exciting. "It's an amazing confirmation of animal experiments that have kept transplanted eyes alive," he said. "The difficulty now is how to regrow the optic nerve, although animal studies are making progress." He praised the NYU team's "boldness" in even aiming for optic nerve repair and hopes the transplant will promote more research.8．What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?A. James is fully content with the surgery result.B. The surgeons have transplanted the face and an eye to James.C. James can see through his transplanted eye pretty soon.D. The surgery to replace James' missing eye is underway.9．What does the underlined word “moonshot” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A task impossible to complete.B. A fantasy existing in the virtual world.C. A project extremely tough to accomplish.D. A mission probable to be complete without effort.10．What challenge are the researchers facing now?A. How to obtain better cosmetic results.B. How to stop the transplanted eye from shriveling(萎缩).C. How to make further progress in animal studies.D. How to grow the optic nerve of the transplanted eye again.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A. James Received Transplanted Eye PerfectlyB. NYC Doctors Perform World's First Eye TransplantC. Various Methods to Treat Different Types of Vision LossD. Advances Made in Eye Transplant and Optic Nerve RepairCould you manage without the internet for four and a half years? That's exactly what the actress Selena Gomez has done in a bid to improve her mental health.She has spoken extensively about the relationship between her social media usage and mental well-being, recalling feeling like "an addict" as to becoming Instagram's most followed user in 2016. "Indeed, I regret quitting from social media that late", says she. "The unnecessary hate and comparisons went away once I put my phone down.”However, the increasing digitization (数字化) means that everything from paying a bill to even making a phone call is at the mercy of the internet. Actively opting (选择) out of the internet becomes a matter of privilege. Ms Gomez's multi-millionaire status has allowed her to take the "social” out of social media. The fact that she's still the second most-followed woman on Instagram suggests it's entirely possible to maintain a significant web profile to promote various projects by way of a dedicated team—without being exposed to the cruel comments.It goes without saying that this is fundamentally different from how the rest of us without beauty deals and films to publicize use the likes of Instagram and Twitter, but even the concept of a digital detox (戒瘾) requires having a device and connectivity to choose to disconnect from.The UK's digital divide has worsened over the past two years, leaving poorer families without broadband connections in their homes. Digital exclusion (数字隔绝) is a major threat to wider societal equality in the UK.Consequently, it's worth bearing in mind that while deleting all social media accounts will undoubtedly make some feel infinitely better, many other people benefit from the strong sense of community that sharing platforms can develop. Greater resources and initiatives are needed to provide the underprivileged with the connectivity they desperately need to learn, work and live. It's crucial that people feeling social media is harmful to their mental health are allowed to switch off and for those living in digital exclusion to be able to switch on primarily.12．What do we learn about the actress Selena Gomez in the past four and a half years?A. She has withdrawn from social media.B. She has won Instagram's most followers.C. She has had worsening mental problems.D. She has succeeded in a bid on the internet.13．Why does actively opting out of using the internet become a matter of privilege?A. Most people think that digital exclusion promotes societal equality in the UK.B. Most people can hardly abandon the web while avoiding hate and comparisons.C. Most people can hardly get by without the internet due to growing digitization.D. Most people have been seriously addicted to the web without being aware of it. 14．What is stressed concerning social media platforms in the last paragraph?A. They are beneficial to people's mental health.B. They create a virtual community on the internet.C. They help many people feel connected with others.D. They provide a necessary device for a digital detox.15．What is the author's attitude towards social media platforms?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.二、七选五16．In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there's a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies. ①_____●Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices. ②_____●Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes. ③_____ This occurs because the lasting habits that are selected are implemented every day and reflected upon routinely.●④_____ Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change.●Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times.Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world. ⑤_____ Taking it slow with patience enables individuals to travel along this journey with determination, as can be illustrated by the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare.A.
