This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate in 9 months. The Value of This MA Program Master’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further graduate study or a career that much faster. Academic Support MAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this support comes from the following sources: ·All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director. ·Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor or Teaching Fellow throughout the year. ·Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to serve as their thesis advisor. ·Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with students to discuss course selection. 21. What is the highlight of the MAPH? A. Interest. B. Expertise. C. Discipline. D. Flexibility. 22. What is the potential use of obtaining the MAPH? A. Pursuing a profitable career. B. Applying for a PhD program. C. Publishing loads of paper work. D. Choosing undergraduate study. 23. What kind of support is available for all MAPH students? A. Course by the director of the program. B. Group work with the MAPH director. C. Advice on thesis writing in fall quarter. D. Help with course books from Mentors. B “I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from afar. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less daunting than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions (条款) for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or-need to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Her path to PI began when she became a parent. B. She struck a balance between work and family. C. She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D. She chose to prioritize her career over her family. 25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3? A. Fearsome. B. Realistic. C. Regretful. D. Promising. 26. What contributed most to her success according to the author? A. Academic researches. B. Supportive work environment. C. Interest in the projects. D. Involvement in engaging projects. 27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To analyse. B. To entertain. C. To report. D. To promote. C Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. “Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms. 28. Why do the scientists use plants to do the experiment? A. They are common in the daily life. B. They are environmentally responsive. C. They absorb much carbon dioxide gas. D. They are small in size and easy to store. 29. What’s the function of the carbon nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A. To control the camera. B. To contain the liquid. C. To fix the tiny sensors. D. To give off plant light. 30. What can we say about the application of the experiment? A. It’s diverse. B. It’s unexpected. C. It’s limited. D. It’s cheap. 31. What’s the suitable title for the text? A. Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs B. Spinach Sends Warning Emails Using Nanotech C. Nanotech Helps Spinach Grov Healthily D. Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger D If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently, you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos. What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done. However, as silly as it seems, Reels-is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format (格式) was first pioneered by TikTok-the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month-including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos. The format is almost perfectly optimised to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want. Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube(which it owns)a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them. 32. Why did the author mention his own experience in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the feature of short videos. B To stress the importance of short videos. C. To prove his preference to short videos. D. To introduce the functions of short videos. 33. What do we know about TikTok according to the passage? A. It has shown the trend of the fall in popularity among “Gen Z”. B. It is perceived as a potential threat to Facebook’s social media dominance. C. Its number of registered UK users has reached 23 million since it launched in 2016. D. It underestimates the essential role of short videos in competition with large tech firms. 34. What makes the short videos on TikTok App so popular? A. The beautiful visual effects. B. The high video quality. C. The random recommendation. D. The quick switch between videos. 35. What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph? A. The short videos have a profound impact on our daily life. B. TikTok seems to be losing its advantage over short videos in the short run. C. YouTube and Facebook may encounter financial difficulties in developing Shorts. D. A growing number of tech firms have engaged in fierce competition for the short video market. 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。 Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life. ____36____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter.

Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life. The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it. However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole. Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度下学期第三次月考 高二学年 英语学科试题 考试用时：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the man do on Friday?

This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate in 9 months. The Value of This MA Program Master’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further graduate study or a career that much faster. Academic Support MAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this support comes from the following sources: ·All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director. ·Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor or Teaching Fellow throughout the year. ·Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to serve as their thesis advisor. ·Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with students to discuss course selection. 21. What is the highlight of the MAPH? A. Interest. B. Expertise. C. Discipline. D. Flexibility. 22. What is the potential use of obtaining the MAPH? A. Pursuing a profitable career. B. Applying for a PhD program. C. Publishing loads of paper work. D. Choosing undergraduate study. 23. What kind of support is available for all MAPH students? A. Course by the director of the program. B. Group work with the MAPH director. C. Advice on thesis writing in fall quarter. D. Help with course books from Mentors. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了芝加哥大学人文学科的艺术硕士课程（MAPH）的一些信息。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities(MAPH)at the University of Chicago is designed to allow you the freedom to either focus on one academic discipline or explore interdisciplinary interests that may not fit well within a traditional MA program.(芝加哥大学的人文艺术硕士课程(MAPH)旨在让你自由地专注于一门学科，或者探索传统硕士课程中可能不太适合的跨学科兴趣)”可知，MAPH课程的亮点是，它具有一定的学习灵活性。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章The Value of This MA Program中关键句“Master’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields.(完成硕士课程后获得的硕士学位在攻读博士课程中变得越来越普遍，硕士学位作为进入许多专业领域的要求并不罕见)”可知，获得MAPH的潜在用处是可以用来申请博士课程。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Academic Support中关键句“All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director.(所有MAPH学生都参加由MAPH院长教授的必修秋季课程)”可知，对于所有的MAPH学生来说，他们会接受由MAPH院长教授的课程。故选A。 B “I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully, my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from afar. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less daunting than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions (条款) for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or-need to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Her path to PI began when she became a parent. B. She struck a balance between work and family. C. She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D. She chose to prioritize her career over her family. 25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3? A. Fearsome. B. Realistic. C. Regretful. D. Promising. 26. What contributed most to her success according to the author? A. Academic researches. B. Supportive work environment. C. Interest in the projects. D. Involvement in engaging projects. 27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To analyse. B. To entertain. C. To report. D. To promote. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者讲述了自己成为父母后因为无法回到原来的工作岗位而感到困惑和担忧。然而，幸运的是，他们的研究主任为他提供了一份可以远程参与项目的合同，这成为了他职业生涯的转折点。经过几年的休假，作者感到自己已经准备好重新全职工作，最终找到了一份讲师职位。凭借着之前在离开期间的经验，回归工作并没有那么困难。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career—but I felt I had no other choice.(在我为人父母之前，我曾以为有个孩子正好符合我的学业计划。但现在，随着我的假期即将结束，我意识到我不能像往常一样简单地继续下去。我担心这个决定可能标志着我学术生涯的结束，但我觉得我别无选择。)”可知，作者之前认为孩子会完全适应她的学术计划，但现在她意识到不能像以前一样继续工作，因此她感到困惑和担忧即作者本来打算坚持自己的学业计划。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away(在退出学术界五年后，我觉得自己已经准备好更全面地重返学术界。因为在我离开的这段时间里，我一直在工作)”可推知，此处指虽然作者退出了学术界，但是一直没有让自己对学术界生疏，一直在进行工作，让自己对学术界保持着熟悉的状态，因此前景远没有以前那么让作者害怕。故划线词与A选项“Fearsome.(害怕的)”为同义词。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions（条款） for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。)”可知，现在，6个月过去了，作者很高兴回到了一切的起点，在众多有趣的项目中参与其中，但最让其开心的是能够在那段时间离开时得到所需的帮助。因此作者认为最为重要的是支持性的工作环境。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer-if we are given the chance.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。对于那些正在休假或考虑休假的人，要知道，回来是可能的。最重要的是，双方：请不要轻视长期离职者。如果给我们机会，我们有很多东西可以提供。)”可知，从文章最后一段可以看出，作者希望通过自己的经历告诉人们，回归工作是可能的，并呼吁更多的机构和领导提供有创意的设施，不要轻易忽视那些休长期假期的人的能力和价值。因此，作者写这篇文章的目的是促进人们对于这个问题的关注和重视。故选D。 C Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny. “Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments. For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water. The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms. 28. Why do the scientists use plants to do the experiment? A. They are common in the daily life. B. They are environmentally responsive. C. They absorb much carbon dioxide gas. D. They are small in size and easy to store. 29. What’s the function of the carbon nano-tubes placed into spinach plants? A. To control the camera. B. To contain the liquid. C. To fix the tiny sensors. D. To give off plant light. 30. What can we say about the application of the experiment? A. It’s diverse. B. It’s unexpected. C. It’s limited. D. It’s cheap. 31. What’s the suitable title for the text? A. Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs B. Spinach Sends Warning Emails Using Nanotech C. Nanotech Helps Spinach Grov Healthily D. Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了麻省理工学院的科学家们使用纳米技术将菠菜变成了天然传感器，可以在水中发现爆炸物中的化学物质，并发送警告电子邮件。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.(“但实际上，它们可以感知土壤和水势的微小变化并做出反应。如果我们深入了解这一点，就会有丰富的信息可供获取。”这就是科学家们用来为他们的微小实验提供动力的东西)”可知，科学家们使用植物做实验是因为它们可以感知环境的微小变化，对环境做出反应。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light.(如果水中含有炸弹中使用的某些化学物质，那么叶子中的微小传感器就会使得碳纳米管和之前被科学家放入菠菜中的传感器产生一种稍微特殊的光)”可知，科学家将碳纳米管放入菠菜中，如果水中含有炸弹中使用的某些化学物质，植物就会发出特殊的光。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.(发现炸弹中使用的化学物质只是研究人员正在探索的众多用途之一。他们还利用这些植物发现了其他几种危险的化学物质。从他们的角度来看，毫无疑问，在未来，这样的系统可以为农民提供有关农场土地和水健康的具体信息)”可知，这一实验可应用的范围非常广，是多种多样的。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs.(麻省理工学院的科学家们成功地将普通的菠菜植物变成了天然传感器，可以找到炸弹中使用的化学物质)”以及第三段“By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.(通过不断使用连接在廉价电脑上的摄像头观察植物，科学家们建立了一个系统，如果在水中发现爆炸物中的化学物质，可以发送警告电子邮件)”可知，本文主要介绍了科学家使用纳米技术将菠菜变成了天然传感器，可以在水中发现爆炸物中的化学物质，并发送警告电子邮件，所以“菠菜使用纳米技术发送警告电子邮件”可以作为文章标题。故选B。 D If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently, you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos. What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done. However, as silly as it seems, Reels-is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format (格式) was first pioneered by TikTok-the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month-including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos. The format is almost perfectly optimised to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want. Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube(which it owns)a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them. 32. Why did the author mention his own experience in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the feature of short videos. B. To stress the importance of short videos. C. To prove his preference to short videos. D. To introduce the functions of short videos. 33. What do we know about TikTok according to the passage? A. It has shown the trend of the fall in popularity among “Gen Z”. B. It is perceived as a potential threat to Facebook’s social media dominance. C. Its number of registered UK users has reached 23 million since it launched in 2016. D. It underestimates the essential role of short videos in competition with large tech firms. 34. What makes the short videos on TikTok App so popular? A. The beautiful visual effects. B. The high video quality. C. The random recommendation. D. The quick switch between videos. 35. What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph? A. The short videos have a profound impact on our daily life. B. TikTok seems to be losing its advantage over short videos in the short run. C. YouTube and Facebook may encounter financial difficulties in developing Shorts. D. A growing number of tech firms have engaged in fierce competition for the short video market. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。科技巨头争抢短视频市场，Facebook、Instagram的Reels与Google旗下YouTube的短片功能，紧跟TikTok模式，激烈竞争，力求抓住用户注意力。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done. (这个“卷轴”功能的奇怪之处在于它非常容易上瘾，我从自己的个人经历中非常了解这一点。上周五，我休息了一下，突然看到一个人在做晚饭的短片，20分钟后，我再次抬头看时，电脑显示器上的空白文件向我证实，我的工作还没有完成。)”可知，作者在第二段中提到自己的经历，描述了他在Facebook的Reels功能上观看短视频时，不知不觉就过去了20分钟，这表明了短视频极易吸引人的特点。通过这个亲身经历，作者旨在阐述短视频能够极度吸引用户并长时间保持其注意力的特性，说明短视频的特点。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month-including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason TikTok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos. (如今，抖音每月约有2300万英国用户，基本上包括你认识的所有25岁以下的人。这一事实让Facebook及其母公司Meta非常紧张。随着TikTok的持续繁荣，Facebook在“Z世代”中的受欢迎程度实际上有所下降。Tik Tok之所以能成为Facebook社交媒体霸主地位的强大挑战者，几乎完全归功于这类短视频。)”可知，TikTok被视为对Facebook社交媒体主导地位的潜在威胁。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四中段 “The format is almost perfectly optimised to be as addictive as possible: TikTok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. (这种格式几乎是完美的优化，尽可能让人上瘾：Tik Tok的应用程序会显示一段短视频，如果你不喜欢，你可以简单地把它移开，另一个视频就会立即开始播放。)”可知，TikTok用户如果不喜欢当前视频，只需滑动即可立即开始播放下一个视频。这种快速切换机制让用户能持续不断地浏览新内容，增强了其吸引力。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube (which it owns) a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them. (Facebook并不是唯一一个试图做TikTok擅长的事情的应用程序。Facebook母公司Meta旗下的Instagram更积极地将Reels整合到自己的应用程序中。就连Google也感到紧张，几年前在YouTube （它拥有的YouTube）上推出了自己的tiktok风格的视频部分。就目前的情况来看，尽管TikTok目前在这一类别中保持着健康的领先地位，但YouTube和Facebook都有雄厚的财力——所以随着这场激烈的战斗继续进行，预计你会看到更多的Reels和Shorts出现在你的信息流中。你的视线将无法从它们身上移开。)”可知，越来越多的科技公司在短视频市场上展开了激烈的竞争。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。 Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life. ____36____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse. People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. ____37____ Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well. ____38____ Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. ____39____ The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. ____40____ The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media. A. Anticipation itself is pleasurable. B. Decrease unnecessary socializing. C. Find someone to call or FaceTime. D. This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized. E. Facebook and Instagram often overstate how much better off others are. F. Nothing is more important for our psychological health than high-quality friendships. G. They recover from illnesses more quickly, live longer, and enjoy more enriched lives. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. F 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，如何在生活中变得更加快乐、如何保持更加快乐。大学心理学讲师根据自己的研究提出了四条建议。 【36题详解】 根据下文“Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert.(期待一次愉快的经历会让一切变得更加甜蜜。等上几天再去看一部刚上映的新电影，计划一下你夏天晚些时候的大假期，试着花时间享受每一口甜点)”可知，本段主要是说对未来美好的期待会使这段经历更加甜美，A项“期待本身是令人愉快的”符合语境，故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route.(那些更关注过程而不是结果的人在面对挫折时往往会保持动力。他们更善于坚持重大挑战，更喜欢挑战而不是简单的路线)”可知，关注过程比关注结果更能激励人们面对挫折，结合本段末句“Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well.(如果事情进展不顺利，只关注结果会导致过早倦怠)”可知，只关注结果会使人倦怠，空处应是描述与之相反的关注过程的积极影响，D项“这种‘成长心态’帮助人们保持精力充沛”符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据下文“Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier.(找一个能让你定期和朋友聚在一起的活动。每周的欢乐时光、扑克之夜或电视节目可以确保你在社交活动中的一致性和动力。拥有高质量人际关系的人不仅更快乐，也更健康)”可知，本段主要讲友谊对心理健康的重要作用，F项“没有什么比高质量的友谊对我们的心理健康更重要的了”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier.(拥有高质量人际关系的人不仅更快乐，也更健康)”可知，高质量的友谊不仅使人更加快乐，而且使人更加健康，G项“他们从疾病中恢复得更快，活得更长，享受更丰富的生活”符合语境，持续讲述高质量友谊的作用，故选G。 【40题详解】 空前“The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead.(下次你想用手机浏览社交媒体时，先看看你的联系人列表吧)”提到，如果要浏览社交媒体时，就看看通讯录，结合下文“The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media.(你从与另一个人的真正联系中获得的快乐将远远大于你在社交媒体上得到的任何评论或点赞)”可知，空处应是承接上文，查看同学录给某个人打电话或视频，C项“找一个可以打电话或视频通话的人”符合语境，承接上文动作，且呼应下文“a real connection with another person”，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空(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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For a little girl growing up in Colombia in the 1980s, a science career with NASA may have seemed like setting foot on a faraway planet. ___41___, Diana Trujill has made it — she is a(n) ___42___ now, leading a 45-person team that’s responsible for the robotic arm of the latest Mars rover.

Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life. The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it. However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole. Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me! When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life. Fishing has taught me to be patient and persistent and most importantly, it has also taught me a lesson that we should not miss out on these opportunities just because they are simple or just we do not know how to do them well. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者童年，在哥哥和邻居的影响下，我尝试了一些户外活动。在某一次尝试了钓鱼之后，作者喜爱上了这项活动，变成了一个充满激情的渔夫，喜欢花时间在户外，欣赏生活的简单乐趣。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我表姐不得不一再提醒我要有耐心”可知，第一段可描写作者钓上鱼的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们最后离开湖时，我已经钓到了三条鱼！”可知，第二段可描写作者喜爱钓鱼以及对钓鱼的感悟。 2.续写线索：提醒有耐心——指导作者——鱼上钩——喜爱钓鱼——对钓鱼感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确定：determine/confirm ②告诉：tell/inform ③捕捉：catch/capture 情绪类 ①专注：focused/concentrated ②激动：excited/thrilled ③满足：fulfilled/content 【点睛】[高分句型1] So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air.
