That’s because they’re impacting (影响) the lives of hundreds of children in their new community. John and Karan Byrd decided to start their own sports camp, Amazing Athletes and Super Soccer Stars. “We were so excited to keep busy, healthy, keep our energy flowing, and do something instead of just coming down to Florida and playing golf,” said John. “It’s bringing longevity (长寿) to our lives. I do believe that,” said Karan. They even brought in a secret weapon (武器), their daughter Lauren. “Growing up with them, I was always doing something with them. We were at the park. We were at the pool. We were outside in the backyard jumping on the trampoline (蹦床),” said Lauren. “I mean you’re looking at two of my best friends here. These are my heroes in life.” The Byrds visited up to seven Child Development Centers throughout Bradenton and Sarasota, and most recently Discovery Point. “Once in a while at 6:30 in the morning Karan asks if we’re really teaching again and says, ‘I thought today was a day off,’” joked John. The camp focuses on the fundamentals (基础) of 10 different sports and continues to build on them each week. “Some of the kids didn’t even feel comfortable with the ball coming toward them and now they want to be the first in line to catch the ball,” said John. The Byrds hope to inspire other retirees moving to Florida to make an impact in their new community. “We will stay healthier and we hope to live longer while we are doing this and being retired so we really aren’t retired anymore,” said John. 24. What did the Byrds do after they retired? A. They often played golf. B. They went to Michigan. C. They set up a sports camp. D. They learned to play soccer. 25. What can we learn from Lauren’s words?

These are my heroes in life.(我的意思是你在这里看到的是我最好的两个朋友。他们是我生命中的英雄)”可知，Lauren认为父母是自己生命中的英雄，是自己最好的朋友，可推理出她和父母的关系非常好。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段中的“Some of the kids didn’t even feel comfortable with the ball coming toward them and now they want to be the first in line to catch the ball, (有些孩子甚至对球朝他们飞过来感到不舒服，现在他们想成为第一个接球的人)”可知，孩子们在参加运动营后，发生了积极的变化。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段中的“We will stay healthier and we hope to live longer while we are doing this and being retired so we really aren’t retired anymore, (我们将保持健康，并且希望活得更久，而当我们这样做并且退休时，我们实际上就不再是退休状态了)”可知，Byrds夫妇希望自己能够一直保持健康，继续为社会做出贡献，希望将永远不会真正退休。故选A。 C Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years. From the age of 2 to 12 years, stunted growth (发育不良) can be modified in some children, but not all of them. There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet. Calorie intake (热量摄取) from birth to about 2 years of age will influence the height of children. An article in The Journal of Nutrition monitored diet and socio-economic factors in more than 2,000 children, aged 2 to 12 years of age. The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls. The study concluded that beyond 2years of age, socio-economic status could have an impact on the height of children. Malnutrition (营养不良) in children younger than 2 years old will cause stunted growth in comparison with their parents and well-fed brothers and sisters, but malnourished (营养不良的) children can “catch up” with proper nutrition (营养). The researcher found that about 63 percent of the children were classified as “stunted” based on height-for-age measurements set by the World Health Organization. With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old. Drinking milk has the greatest impact on the cognitive (认知的) and physical development of babies in their first year. A study examined the effects of drinking milk on the height and weight of 6,669 babies from six countries and found that drinking milk contributed to an increase in height of children. 28. What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Measured. B. Experienced. C. Improved. D. Accepted. 29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Boys grow at a higher speed than girls on average. B Keeping a balanced diet is important to children’s health. C Economic conditions have decisive effects on a person’s height. D. Ensuring children under 2 enough calories is important for their height. 30. How does the author make the statements more convincing? A By quoting data from studies. B. By analyzing possible causes. C. By explaining scientific terms. D. By sharing his personal experiences. 31. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Nutritious diets for children’s health y growth. B. Instructions on how to raise children properly. C. The determining factors in a person’s height. D. The influence of diet on children’s height. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了饮食对孩子身高的影响，特别是两岁以内热量摄入和营养对儿童生长发育的重要性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词前句“Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years.(饮食会影响一个人的身高，但只能在儿童时期直到2岁)”及划线词后句“There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet.(目前没有科学数据表明成年人的身高可以通过饮食来提高)”可推知，划线词所在句表达“在2岁到12岁之间，一些孩子的发育不良可以得到改善，但并不是所有的孩子都可以”，因此，划线词modified与C项“改善”意义相近。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls.(研究人员发现，饮食中每增加100卡路里，男孩的身高就会增加0.13英寸，女孩的身高会略低)”可知，确保2岁以下儿童摄入足够的热量对他们的身高很重要。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls.(研究人员发现，饮食中每增加100卡路里，男孩的身高就会增加0.13英寸，女孩的身高会略低)”及第三段“With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old.(随着热量和维生素摄入量的增加，30%的孩子在8.5岁时不再发育迟缓，32.5%的孩子在12岁时不再发育迟缓)”可知，作者通过引用研究数据使这些说法更有说服力。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years.(饮食会影响一个人的身高，但只能在儿童时期直到2岁)”可知，本文主要讲述了饮食对孩子身高的影响，故D项“饮食对儿童身高的影响”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 D Have you ever sent a text or shared something online that you immediately regretted? Most of us have. Now a growing number of apps and services are offering users the attractive ability to edit those messages. In September alone, Twitter and Apple introduced editing features. Twitter kicked off September by announcing it would test an edit button (按钮). Within two weeks of that move, Apple introduced its new iOS 16 operating system, which lets users-for the first time-edit and unsend iMessages. Users can now edit an iMessage up to five times within 15 minutes after sending it and unsend any message up to two minutes after it’s sent. To do this, users need only tap and hold their sent message, then choose “edit” or “undo send.” On Twitter, the edit button will give people a “generous” time, says Christina Wodtke, a lecturer in computer science at Stanford University. Users will be able to edit a tweet (推文信息) up to five times in the 30 minutes after it’s posted. Once a change is made, a tweet will be marked with a time stamp, and a label (标签) that says “Last Edited.” “What they’re doing is creating an edit button that allows the Twitter audience to be your personal editor,” Wodtke says. “So if you say something that is difficult to believe, you could quickly change it to be clearer or less open to being misunderstood.” Wodtke does warn that especially on Twitter, editing could be used for harmful purposes. Someone looking to spread disinformation, for example, could edit their originally harmless tweet to make it false or harmful after it’s already started reaching an audience. To ensure edit tools are used for good purposes, experts say, tech companies must take certain safety measures. “The importance of an ‘edit trail (痕迹)’ that prevents the spread of mis-and disinformation can’t be overstated,” says Wodtke, “especially when the information is part of the public record.” Twitter says the feature was designed to be transparent (透明的) and protect the integrity (完整性) of the conversation. “We’re purposely starting this test with a smaller group to learn and deal with possible issues before bringing it to more people,” a Twitter spokesperson says. 32. How is Apple’s edit button different from Twitter’s? A. It offers its users less time to regret. B. It offers its users fewer chances to edit. C. It allows its users to tap more words into a message. D. It allows its users to label the message they have edited. 33. What does Wodtke think of Twitter’s edit button? A. It can make its users more organized. B. It can be used to spread wrong messages. C. It can help messages reach more audiences. D. It can cause people to take messages lightly. 34. What can we learn about Twitter’s editing feature from the last paragraph? A. It is still being tested. B. It will add more functions. C. It should be more transparent. D. It has led to unexpected issues. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A growing need for an edit button B. The deep thinking behind the edit button C. The past and present of the edit button D. Promises and risks of a new edit button 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在，越来越多的应用程序和服务为用户提供了编辑后悔发送的消息的功能，文章介绍了这种新功能的前景和风险。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Users can now edit an iMessage up to five times within 15 minutes after sending it and unsend any message up to two minutes after it’s sent.(用户现在可以在发送后15分钟内最多编辑5次iMessage，并在发送后2分钟内取消发送任何消息。)”和第三句第四句“On Twitter, the edit button will give people a “generous” time, says Christina Wodtke, a lecturer in computer science at Stanford University. Users will be able to edit a tweet (推文信息) up to five times in the 30 minutes after it’s posted.(斯坦福大学计算机科学讲师克里斯蒂娜·伍德克表示，在Twitter上，编辑按钮将给人们“慷慨”的时间。用户可以在一条推文发布后的30分钟内最多编辑5次。)”可知，苹果的编辑按钮与Twitter的不同之处是它为用户提供了更少的后悔时间。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“Wodtke does warn that especially on Twitter, editing could be used for harmful purposes. Someone looking to spread disinformation, for example, could edit their originally harmless tweet to make it false or harmful after it’s already started reaching an audience.(伍德克警告说，尤其是在推特上，编辑可能会被用于有害的目的。例如，一些想要传播虚假信息的人可能会在他们原本无害的推文已经开始传播给受众之后，编辑它，使其变得虚假或有害。)”可知，Wodtke认为Twitter的编辑按钮可能会被用于传播虚假信息。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一段最后一句中的“We’re purposely starting this test with a smaller group to learn and deal with possible issues before bringing it to more people(在将测试推广给更多人之前，我们有意让一个较小的小组来学习和处理可能出现的问题)”可知，Twitter的编辑特色还在测试中。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever sent a text or shared something online that you immediately regretted? Most of us have. Now a growing number of apps and services are offering users the attractive ability to edit those messages.(你是否曾经发过一条短信或在网上分享过一些让你立刻后悔的东西？我们大多数人都有。现在，越来越多的应用程序和服务为用户提供了编辑这些消息的诱人功能。)”和第四段最后两句“Wodtke does warn that especially on Twitter, editing could be used for harmful purposes. Someone looking to spread disinformation, for example, could edit their originally harmless tweet to make it false or harmful after it’s already started reaching an audience.(伍德克警告说，尤其是在推特上，编辑可能会被用于有害的目的。例如，一些想要传播虚假信息的人可能会在他们原本无害的推文已经开始传播给受众之后，编辑它，使其变得虚假或有害。)”以及最后一段第一句“Twitter says the feature was designed to be transparent (透明的) and protect the integrity (完整性) of the conversation.(推特表示，该功能旨在保持透明度，并保护对话的完整性。)”可知，文章主要是讲新的编辑功能的前景和风险。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away. ____36____? Below are some tips to get you started. Smile. Although it is possible to overdo smiling, generally it is better to smile than frown (皱眉). Try to find things that really make you happy or laugh and your smile will come across as natural rather than forced. ____37____. Make sure that you aren’t using objects to shield (遮住) yourself from others. At a party, hold your drink at your side instead of close to your chest (胸膛). Keeping objects between you and others makes you appear guarded and closed. Use eye contact. When you do end up talking with someone, be sure to maintain eye contact. Avoiding eye contact makes you appear untrustworthy or disinterested. If direct eye contact feels hard, try looking at only one eye at a time, or at a part between a person’s eyes. ____38____ Avoid nervous habits. Even though you might be nervous, avoid the habits that go with it. ____39____. Don’t play with your pen or the change in your pocket. Keep your hands relaxed at your sides or use them to gesture (做手势) when making conversation. ____40____. Say nice things about other people instead of mean things. Approach others and include those who seem to be left out. Be a positive person and you will attract other positive people to you. Although it may feel unnatural at first, with time you should start to feel more open and confident as a result of changing your body language. A. Avoid blocks B. Use objects on hand C. They won’t be able to tell the difference D. Apart from body language, always be positive E Stop touching your face or playing with your hair F. How can you read different types of body language properly G. How can you improve your body language to appear more approachable 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些改善肢体语言以显得更平易近人的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away.(如果你在社交场合很难结识新朋友或加入对话，可能是你的肢体语言向别人传达了远离的信息)”可知，上文提出了在社交场合中肢体语言可能会给人留下不好的印象这一问题。下文“Below are some tips to get you started.(以下是一些让你开始的建议)”则提出了一些改善肢体语言的建议。G 选项“How can you improve your body language to appear more approachable(如何改善你的肢体语言，让自己看起来更平易近人)”位于段中，承上启下，既承接上文提到的肢体语言给人留下不好印象的问题，又引出下文改善肢体语言的建议。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Make sure that you aren’t using objects to shield (遮住) yourself from others.

Keeping objects between you and others makes you appear guarded and closed.(确保你没有用物品来遮住自己不被他人看到。在聚会上，把你的饮料放在你身边，而不是靠近你的胸部。在你和其他人之间放东西会让你显得有戒心和封闭)”可知下文说明在社交场合中要避免用物品隔开自己和他人，要保持开放的姿态。A 选项“Avoid blocks (避免阻隔)”位于段首，对下文起总结概括的作用，且与后文的“shield(遮住)”和“guarded and closed”相呼应。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“If direct eye contact feels hard, try looking at only one eye at a time, or at a part between a person’s eyes.(如果直接的眼神交流感觉很难，试着一次只看一只眼睛，或者看一个人的眼睛之间的部分)”可知，上文建议在与人交谈时，如果感觉直接的眼神交流困难，可以采取的方式。C 选项“They won’t be able to tell the difference (他们不会看出区别的)”则说明即使没有直接的眼神交流，别人也不会察觉，与上文构成因果关系。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Even though you might be nervous, avoid the habits that go with it.(尽管你可能会紧张，但要避免随之而来的习惯)”可知上文提到要避免紧张时的习惯。E 选项“Stop touching your face or playing with your hair (停止触摸你的脸或玩弄你的头发)”是具体的紧张时的习惯，对上文起举例说明的作用。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Say nice things about other people instead of mean things. Approach others and include those who seem to be left out. Be a positive person and you will attract other positive people to you.(说别人的好话而不是刻薄的话。接近他人，包括那些似乎被忽视的人。做一个积极的人，你会吸引其他积极的人)”可知下文建议要做一个积极的人，多说别人的好话。D 选项“Apart from body language, always be positive (除了肢体语言，永远要积极)”位于段首，对下文起总结概括的作用，且positive与后文的nice和positive相呼应。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a normal morning in March, and school bus driver Sondra Artis had just picked up the last student on her route (路线).

I recall feeling quite frustrated (沮丧的) by the slowness with which I was able to learn new moves, and I began to understand why several of my friends ____62____ (start) tai chi but then given it up.

She was applying to be the secretary to the CEO, but she was late for the interview. “I’m truly sorry I was late, sir,” Ophelia said. “I had an emergency earlier today. That’s why I couldn’t make it on time. I hope you can give me another chance,” she added. The boss answered, “You’re applying to be my secretary. You need to be at the top of your game 24/7for this role, and being late for your interview is just not good, though. I’m sorry, but I can’t employ you.” Ophelia had to leave the company. That evening, she looked sad. “What’s wrong, Mom?” her son Jessie asked her. “I didn’t get the job, son. I didn’t make it in time for the interview,” she said. Jessie was very sad when hearing this, so he decided to do something for his mom. The following day, Jessie came to visit the boss. “Hello,” the boss greeted him. “I’m James. How can I help you today?” “Hi, sir,” the young boy said. “My name is Jessie. My mom came in for an interview yesterday, but you refused her. Is there any chance you can give her a second interview? I promise you, my mom is the most hardworking person you’ll ever meet!” “Really? Why should I give her another chance?” James said, surprised. “It was because of me that she didn’t make it on time. I accidentally dropped some food on my shirt, and she had to wash it because I only had one uniform to wear in school. It took a while to get the stain (污迹) out, so she was late,” Jessie explained. “My mom works hard, sir. My parents once ran a cleaning supplies (清洁用品) and equipment business. Because of an accidental fire, their company was destroyed. My parents had to start all over again,” he continued. James listened and felt sorry for Ophelia. He remembered Ophelia didn’t mention the company in her resume (简历).

I’ve heard you are great in this particular business field. I’d like you to “wash away” all our competitors. Can you do that?” James asked. Ophelia was too surprised to speak. She gradually calmed down, nodding firmly. “But how did you know that about me?” she said with a puzzled face. James smiled, “You have a wonderful son, and I was lucky enough to meet him today. He shared your story with me.” Ophelia realized that it was because of her son’s efforts that she had got such a great job. She was determined to live up to her new boss’ expectations. And she couldn’t wait to tell Jessie the good news. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展过程为线索展开。Ophelia 求职面试迟到，失去了得到工作的机会，回家后她的儿子 Jessie 了解到事情的真相，决定为妈妈争取第二次机会，James 听了 Jessie 的解释后，决定给 Ophelia 一个机会，Ophelia 最终得到了这份工作。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“同一天，Ophelia被要求回到公司。”可知，第一段可描写Ophelia 得到了再一次面试的机会，James向Ophelia解释了原因。 由第二段首句内容“Ophelia太惊讶了，说不出话来。”可知，第二段可描写Ophelia对 James给她第二次面试机会的惊讶和对儿子Jessie的感谢。 续写线索： Ophelia 被要求回到公司——Ophelia 得到再一次面试的机会——Ophelia对James给她第二次面试机会的惊讶——Ophelia对儿子Jessie 的感谢 词汇激活 行为类 到达：arrive at/get to 提供：offer/provide 点头：nod/nod one's head 情绪类 惊讶的：surprised/amazed 困惑的：puzzled/confused 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Every year people retire (退休) to Florida, but there’s one retired couple from Michigan who said they are working harder than ever, and that they’re loving every minute of it. That’s because they’re impacting (影响) the lives of hundreds of children in their new community. John and Karan Byrd decided to start their own sports camp, Amazing Athletes and Super Soccer Stars. “We were so excited to keep busy, healthy, keep our energy flowing, and do something instead of just coming down to Florida and playing golf,” said John. “It’s bringing longevity (长寿) to our lives. I do believe that,” said Karan. They even brought in a secret weapon (武器), their daughter Lauren. “Growing up with them, I was always doing something with them. We were at the park. We were at the pool. We were outside in the backyard jumping on the trampoline (蹦床),” said Lauren. “I mean you’re looking at two of my best friends here. These are my heroes in life.” The Byrds visited up to seven Child Development Centers throughout Bradenton and Sarasota, and most recently Discovery Point. “Once in a while at 6:30 in the morning Karan asks if we’re really teaching again and says, ‘I thought today was a day off,’” joked John. The camp focuses on the fundamentals (基础) of 10 different sports and continues to build on them each week. “Some of the kids didn’t even feel comfortable with the ball coming toward them and now they want to be the first in line to catch the ball,” said John. The Byrds hope to inspire other retirees moving to Florida to make an impact in their new community. “We will stay healthier and we hope to live longer while we are doing this and being retired so we really aren’t retired anymore,” said John. 24. What did the Byrds do after they retired? A. They often played golf. B. They went to Michigan. C. They set up a sports camp. D. They learned to play soccer. 25. What can we learn from Lauren’s words? A. Longevity is connected to exercise. B. The Byrds are busy with their work. C. Lauren agrees to her parents’ decisions. D. The Byrds are very good with their daughter. 26. What did John mean by his words in the last but one paragraph? A. Exercise can make kids healthy. B. The kids are showing positive changes. C. Good habits don’t develop quickly. D. The camp needs more forms of sports. 27. What is the Byrds’ hope? A. They will never really retire. B. They will get a new job soon. C. They will be an example to others. D. They will not be afraid of getting old. C Diet can influence a person’s height, but only during childhood-until the age of 2 years. From the age of 2 to 12 years, stunted growth (发育不良) can be modified in some children, but not all of them. There is no scientific data currently available to suggest that an adult’s height can be increased through diet. Calorie intake (热量摄取) from birth to about 2 years of age will influence the height of children. An article in The Journal of Nutrition monitored diet and socio-economic factors in more than 2,000 children, aged 2 to 12 years of age. The researcher found that each additional 100 calories in the diet was associated with an increased height of 0.13 inches in boys and slightly less in girls. The study concluded that beyond 2years of age, socio-economic status could have an impact on the height of children. Malnutrition (营养不良) in children younger than 2 years old will cause stunted growth in comparison with their parents and well-fed brothers and sisters, but malnourished (营养不良的) children can “catch up” with proper nutrition (营养). The researcher found that about 63 percent of the children were classified as “stunted” based on height-for-age measurements set by the World Health Organization. With increased calorie and vitamin intake, 30 percent were no longer stunted by the age of 8.5 years, and 32.5 percent were no longer stunted at 12 years old. Drinking milk has the greatest impact on the cognitive (认知的) and physical development of babies in their first year. A study examined the effects of drinking milk on the height and weight of 6,669 babies from six countries and found that drinking milk contributed to an increase in height of children. 28. What does the underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Measured. B. Experienced. C. Improved. D. Accepted. 29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Boys grow at a higher speed than girls on average. B. Keeping a balanced diet is important to children’s health. C. Economic conditions have decisive effects on a person’s height. D. Ensuring children under 2 enough calories is important for their height. 30. How does the author make the statements more convincing? A. By quoting data from studies. B. By analyzing possible causes. C. By explaining scientific terms. D. By sharing his personal experiences. 31. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Nutritious diets for children’s health y growth. B. Instructions on how to raise children properly. C. The determining factors in a person’s height. D. The influence of diet on children’s height. D Have you ever sent a text or shared something online that you immediately regretted? Most of us have. Now a growing number of apps and services are offering users the attractive ability to edit those messages. In September alone, Twitter and Apple introduced editing features. Twitter kicked off September by announcing it would test an edit button (按钮). Within two weeks of that move, Apple introduced its new iOS 16 operating system, which lets users-for the first time-edit and unsend iMessages. Users can now edit an iMessage up to five times within 15 minutes after sending it and unsend any message up to two minutes after it’s sent. To do this, users need only tap and hold their sent message, then choose “edit” or “undo send.” On Twitter, the edit button will give people a “generous” time, says Christina Wodtke, a lecturer in computer science at Stanford University. Users will be able to edit a tweet (推文信息) up to five times in the 30 minutes after it’s posted. Once a change is made, a tweet will be marked with a time stamp, and a label (标签) that says “Last Edited.” “What they’re doing is creating an edit button that allows the Twitter audience to be your personal editor,” Wodtke says. “So if you say something that is difficult to believe, you could quickly change it to be clearer or less open to being misunderstood.” Wodtke does warn that especially on Twitter, editing could be used for harmful purposes. Someone looking to spread disinformation, for example, could edit their originally harmless tweet to make it false or harmful after it’s already started reaching an audience. To ensure edit tools are used for good purposes, experts say, tech companies must take certain safety measures. “The importance of an ‘edit trail (痕迹)’ that prevents the spread of mis-and disinformation can’t be overstated,” says Wodtke, “especially when the information is part of the public record.” Twitter says the feature was designed to be transparent (透明的) and protect the integrity (完整性) of the conversation. “We’re purposely starting this test with a smaller group to learn and deal with possible issues before bringing it to more people,” a Twitter spokesperson says. 32. How is Apple’s edit button different from Twitter’s? A. It offers its users less time to regret. B. It offers its users fewer chances to edit. C. It allows its users to tap more words into a message. D. It allows its users to label the message they have edited. 33 What does Wodtke think of Twitter’s edit button? A. It can make its users more organized. B. It can be used to spread wrong messages. C. It can help messages reach more audiences. D. It can cause people to take messages lightly. 34. What can we learn about Twitter’s editing feature from the last paragraph? A. It is still being tested. B. It will add more functions. C. It should be more transparent. D. It has led to unexpected issues. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. A growing need for an edit button B. The deep thinking behind the edit button C. The past and present of the edit button D. Promises and risks of a new edit button 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away. ____36____?

She was applying to be the secretary to the CEO, but she was late for the interview. “I’m truly sorry I was late, sir,” Ophelia said. “I had an emergency earlier today. That’s why I couldn’t make it on time. I hope you can give me another chance,” she added. The boss answered, “You’re applying to be my secretary. You need to be at the top of your game 24/7for this role, and being late for your interview is just not good, though. I’m sorry, but I can’t employ you.” Ophelia had to leave the company. That evening, she looked sad. “What’s wrong, Mom?” her son Jessie asked her. “I didn’t get the job, son. I didn’t make it in time for the interview,” she said. Jessie was very sad when hearing this, so he decided to do something for his mom. The following day, Jessie came to visit the boss. “Hello,” the boss greeted him. “I’m James. How can I help you today?” “Hi, sir,” the young boy said. “My name is Jessie. My mom came in for an interview yesterday, but you refused her. Is there any chance you can give her a second interview? I promise you, my mom is the most hardworking person you’ll ever meet!” “Really? Why should I give her another chance?” James said surprised. “It was because of me that she didn’t make it on time. I accidentally dropped some food on my shirt, and she had to wash it because I only had one uniform to wear in school. It took a while to get the stain (污迹) out, so she was late,” Jessie explained. “My mom works hard, sir. My parents once ran a cleaning supplies (清洁用品) and equipment business. Because of an accidental fire, their company was destroyed. My parents had to start all over again,” he continued. James listened and felt sorry for Ophelia. He remembered Ophelia didn’t mention the company in her resume (简历). He told Jessie he would give his mom a second chance. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 That same day, Ophelia was asked to return to the company. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ophelia was too surprised to speak. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
