Some of the summer’s highlights include pianist Inon Barnatan, who plays Rameau, Ravel, Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff. Rockport’s season ends with the superb Borromeo String Quartet (四重奏), with guest pianist David Deveau and guest violist Barry Shiffman, in music by Bach, Mozart and Brahms-a concert that may very well distract you from the view. New Hampshire Music Festival Various locations July 9-Aug 1 If you’re spending any time in New Hampshire this summer, keep your eye out for these appealing concerts from small chamber groups and small and large orchestras popping up all around the Granite State, promoting community engagement with classical and modern music. This festival includes both lovable standards and fresh, more recent pieces on its programs. For example, the program titled “Midsummer Serenade” presents pieces for string orchestra as Grieg’s “Holberg” Suite, Lars-Erik Larsson’s Concertino for Trombone and Strings and Dvorak’s String Serenade. Newport Classical Music Festival Different locations July 5-21 For one of New England’s outstanding concert series, the venues are some of the great Newport mansions. Many of the concerts are already sold out, so here are a few for which tickets are still available at the time of this writing (but probably not for long). The wonderful Tony Award-winning Broadway star Laura Benanti has two concerts. Vıolinist Anne Akiko Meyers and pianist Max Levinson make up a superb duo (一重奏) for a program ranging from Corelli and Beethoven to Philip Glass and Morten Lauridsen. 21. When can the visitors enjoy all the three Music Festivals? A. From the 9th day to the last day of the 6th month. B. From the 1st day to the 5th day of the 8th month. C.

It is a festival touring the world. C. It can be viewed both online and offline. D. It shows a mix of classical and modern styles. 23. Where probably can we read this article? A. A research report. B. A science fiction. C. A music textbook. D. A travel brochure. B British artist James Lake was 17 when his life changed dramatically. That was the year he was diagnosed with bone cancer, which resulted in the loss of his right leg. During his recovery, Lake generated a new idea of using his creative talents to understand and process the intense experience he was going through. He looked around his house and began making art with the resources closest to hand: old cardboard boxes and packaging that his parents had thrown away. Cutting up the cardboard and then reconstructing it, he created sculptural frames-his very first pieces of art. Fast forward 26 years and the now 43-year-old artist has made a career from that decision to “steal” his parents’ recycling box as a teenager. By cutting, and sticking together littered pieces of cardboard, Lake creates detailed life-size human sculptures. “My work is about transforming an old box and giving it a new life, valuing resources,” he says. “For that reason, I think it’s important that the cardboard is visible in my sculptures, and that people can still see they’re made from it. My works question how we perceive and value art and all the things around us. Arc they reusable? Do we need to buy that? Can we repair it?” By exhibiting his work in primary schools, Lake wants to show children that art is something that’s attainable, created from the same materials they play with in the classroom. “I have developed a way of working wherein the materials and the method mean that art can be created anywhere: a bedroom, a garage. Great art should not only be about the materials that you use, but also about the passion and effort you put into the work.” “It’s incredibly important for me to inspire a new generation of artists beyond the limit of economic barriers,” he explains.“ I want to create a level playing field for all and I hope that I’m a positive role model for them, both as an artist and as a disabled person. 24. What led James Lake to start making art with cardboard boxes? A. His interest in environmentalism. B. The inspiration from his parents. C. The easy access to waste cardboard. D. His desire to deal with his difficult time. 25. Why does James make the cardboard visible in his sculptures? A. To show his outstanding talent. B. To prove art works are easy to make. C. To stress the value of reusing resources. D. To make his works more attractive. 26. Which word can best describe James? A. Hard-working and polite. B. Generous and easy-going. C. Strong-willed and creatIve. D. Determined and humorous. 27. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Embracing the unknown. B. Thinking outside the box. C. Thinking twice before you leap. D. Stepping out of the comfort zone. C To communicate without words, humans use a host of gestures—whether a wave to wish someone goodbye or a thumbs-up to indicate approval. Now researchers have found, in a particularly polite example, the first documented evidence of a symbolic gesture used by birds. Some birds seem to flutter (拍翅膀) their wings to tell their mates they should enter the nest first, suggesting that the animals may communicate with a variety of gestures. Toshitaka Suzuki at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues set up hundreds of nest boxes in a forest populated with Japanese tits (山雀) near the town of Karuizawa. Each box had a 7.5-centimetre-wide hole, just big enough for one bird to squeeze through at a time. During breeding season, the team observed 321 nest visits across eight breeding pairs, with the tits often bringing food for their baby birds. If a bird couple arrived at the nest together, each tit would land on a nearby branch before entering. About 40 percent of the time, the female fluttered her wings for a few seconds, with her chest facing the male. This was quickly followed by the male entering the nest first, then the female. When neither bird fluttered its wings, which made up 44 percent of nest visitations, the females usually entered first. Only one male was seen repeatedly fluttering its wings, which was followed by the female entering first. Wing fluttering wasn’t observed at all when each bird arrived separately. The team believes that this discovery conflicts with earlier beliefs that only a few species use gestures to communicate. “They’ve done a really good job here of showing there is an association between this movement, this gesture, and then… the other bird doing something,” says Mike Webster, an ornithologist at Cornell University, who was not involved in the research. “It’s a really strong support to the notion that it’s a symbolic gesture. The bird that’s the receiver knows what it means, and it does what it’s supposed to do.” “We can conclude that this wing fluttering conveys ‘after you’.” says Suzuki. “This study is the first to show us clearly by evidence that birds can use wing movements to convey a particular meaning.” 28. What is the aim of Toshitaka Suzuki’s experiment? A. To find how the birds wings work in the wind. B. To observe whether birds treat their mates politely. C. To research whether birds can use symbolic gestures D To prove whether birds can communicate with each other. 29. According to paragraph 2, why do tits flutter their wings? A. To show direction to the other bird. B. To signal their mates to enter the nest. C. To dry off their wings after flying in the rain. D. To scare away potential predators near the nest. 30. How do the researchers conduct the study on Japanese tits? A. By listing some examples. B. By reviewing previous data. C. By observing and comparing. D. By analyzing cause and effect 31. What’s the attitude of Mike Webster toward the study? A Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed. D Is social media really making young people antisocial (孤僻的)? A surprising new study finds that children and young adults who use these platforms the most are actually more active in the real world than others! The new findings come from a long-term project called the Trondheim Early Secure Study. Researchers collected information from about 800 children and young adults when they were 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years old. This included interviews about each child’s use of social media from year to year. The goal was to determine if using social media affects a young person’s overall social skills. To the team’s surprise, participants frequently using these platforms did not see their social skills reduced. “On the contrary, we find that people who use social media a lot spend more time with friends offline than those who tend to limit their screen time,” says Professor Silje Steinsbekk from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s Department of Psychology. However, social media can present challenges for children and teens. Although it offers a convenient and comfortable way for those with social anxiety to communicate, it can also lead to addiction and misuse. Studies have suggested that young people with anxiety are more easily affected by the negative effects of social media, which can worsen their symptoms and harm their mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to monitor their children’s online activity and usage Despite the risks to some, the team says their findings debunk the belief that social media causes young people to become socially isolated. In fact, their frequent use of social platforms may actually give them more opportunities to connect with old and new friends and set up chances to go out and socialize outdoors. 32 What does the study focus on? A. The influence of social media on young people. B. The importance of young people’s social skills. C. Reasons for people becoming isolated from the community. D. Ways to prevent children from becoming addicted to social media. 33. Who may probably be more active in the real world according to the study? A. The one seldom surfing the Internet. B. The one experıencıng social anxiety. C. The one never making friends online. D. The one using social media frequently. 34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Negative emotions cause teens to misuse social media. B. Kids are more easıly influenced by social media than adults. C. Online communication can help improve people’s mental health D. Social media is a double-edged sword for young people with anxiety. 35. What does the underlined word “debunk” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Confirm. B. Ignore. C. Explain. D. Challenge. 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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Libraries are highly regarded as symbols of local history and traditions, acting as places for a community’s shared memories.

We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and full of energy. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moves on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular thing happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream. It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per hour, much more than the average $3.5. That was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect (前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn’t dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage ”If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach by myself. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. I gathered my courage and knocked at his door… 67. 根据文本内容从方框中选择适当的词，并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用1次，有2词多余。 continue, energy, upset, advise, fortunate, price, throw, excite, have, disappoint, move, recommend Following My Dream I grew up in a poor family and we ______ little money and few goods. → I felt happy and ______.

Every year he goes to LA Tomatina festival in Bo a town near Valencia. The festival is on the last Wednesday of August on that day almost everyone goes to the main square to throw tomatoes at each other. Before the festival people cover the shop window with plastic Antonio always wears his oldest clothes so he doesn’t get his best clothes dirty. He also puts his camera in a plastic bag to keep it clean. In the morning trucks arrive in the main square bringing tons of tomatoes. The fight begins at twelve o’clock and people never throw tomatoes after about one PM they usually spend the rest of the day cleaning themselves and the town. In the evening Antonio usually watches the fireworks eats the local food and enjoys some dancing shows. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Summer’s Classical Music Festivals Rockport Chamber Music Festival Rockport June 20-Aug 25 Rockport Chamber Music is a high-end festival. Some of the summer’s highlights include pianist Inon Barnatan, who plays Rameau, Ravel, Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff. Rockport’s season ends with the superb Borromeo String Quartet (四重奏), with guest pianist David Deveau and guest violist Barry Shiffman, in music by Bach, Mozart and Brahms-a concert that may very well distract you from the view. New Hampshire Music Festival Various locations July 9-Aug 1 If you’re spending any time in New Hampshire this summer, keep your eye out for these appealing concerts from small chamber groups and small and large orchestras popping up all around the Granite State, promoting community engagement with classical and modern music. This festival includes both lovable standards and fresh, more recent pieces on its programs. For example, the program titled “Midsummer Serenade” presents pieces for string orchestra as Grieg’s “Holberg” Suite, Lars-Erik Larsson’s Concertino for Trombone and Strings and Dvorak’s String Serenade. Newport Classical Music Festival Different locations July 5-21 For one of New England’s outstanding concert series, the venues are some of the great Newport mansions. Many of the concerts are already sold out, so here are a few for which tickets are still available at the time of this writing (but probably not for long). The wonderful Tony Award-winning Broadway star Laura Benanti has two concerts. Vıolinist Anne Akiko Meyers and pianist Max Levinson make up a superb duo (一重奏) for a program ranging from Corelli and Beethoven to Philip Glass and Morten Lauridsen. 21.

That was the year he was diagnosed with bone cancer, which resulted in the loss of his right leg. During his recovery, Lake generated a new idea of using his creative talents to understand and process the intense experience he was going through. He looked around his house and began making art with the resources closest to hand: old cardboard boxes and packaging that his parents had thrown away. Cutting up the cardboard and then reconstructing it, he created sculptural frames-his very first pieces of art. Fast forward 26 years and the now 43-year-old artist has made a career from that decision to “steal” his parents’ recycling box as a teenager. By cutting, and sticking together littered pieces of cardboard, Lake creates detailed life-size human sculptures. “My work is about transforming an old box and giving it a new life, valuing resources,” he says. “For that reason, I think it’s important that the cardboard is visible in my sculptures, and that people can still see they’re made from it. My works question how we perceive and value art and all the things around us. Arc they reusable? Do we need to buy that? Can we repair it?” By exhibiting his work in primary schools, Lake wants to show children that art is something that’s attainable, created from the same materials they play with in the classroom. “I have developed a way of working wherein the materials and the method mean that art can be created anywhere: a bedroom, a garage. Great art should not only be about the materials that you use, but also about the passion and effort you put into the work.” “It’s incredibly important for me to inspire a new generation of artists beyond the limit of economic barriers,” he explains.“ I want to create a level playing field for all and I hope that I’m a positive role model for them, both as an artist and as a disabled person. 24. What led James Lake to start making art with cardboard boxes? A. His interest in environmentalism. B. The inspiration from his parents. C. The easy access to waste cardboard. D. His desire to deal with his difficult time. 25. Why does James make the cardboard visible in his sculptures? A. To show his outstanding talent. B. To prove art works are easy to make. C. To stress the value of reusing resources. D. To make his works more attractive. 26. Which word can best describe James? A. Hard-working and polite. B. Generous and easy-going. C Strong-willed and creatIve. D. Determined and humorous. 27. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Embracing the unknown. B. Thinking outside the box. C. Thinking twice before you leap. D. Stepping out of the comfort zone. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了英国艺术家詹姆斯·莱克的故事，他在17岁时被诊断出患有骨癌，导致失去了右腿。在康复期间，他开始用硬纸板和包装材料创作艺术，最终创作出了他标志性的雕塑框架。多年来，莱克已经建立了一个成功的职业生涯，用回收纸板创作真人大小的人体雕塑，强调艺术中重视资源和可持续性的重要性。他的目的是让孩子们看到，艺术可以用日常材料制作，可以在任何地方创作，打破艺术创作的经济障碍。雷克是有抱负的艺术家和残疾人士的榜样，倡导艺术努力的包容性和激情。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During his recovery, Lake generated a new idea of using his creative talents to understand and process the intense experience he was going through. He looked around his house and began making art with the resources closest to hand: old cardboard boxes and packaging that his parents had thrown away.”（在康复期间，雷克产生了一个新想法，即利用他的创造才能来理解和处理他正在经历的紧张经历。他环顾了一下自己的房子，开始用手边最接近的资源——他父母扔掉的旧纸板箱和包装——进行艺术创作。）可知，詹姆斯·莱克想处理困难时期的愿望让他开始用纸板箱创作艺术。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““My work is about transforming an old box and giving it a new life, valuing resources,” he says. “For that reason, I think it’s important that the cardboard is visible in my sculptures, and that people can still see they’re made from it.”（他说：“我的工作是改造一个旧盒子，赋予它新的生命，重视资源。”“出于这个原因，我认为在我的雕塑中看到纸板是很重要的，人们仍然可以看到它们是由纸板制成的。）可知，詹姆斯在他的雕塑中让纸板可见是为了强调资源再利用的价值。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“During his recovery, Lake generated a new idea of using his creative talents to understand and process the intense experience he was going through.

Now researchers have found, in a particularly polite example, the first documented evidence of a symbolic gesture used by birds. Some birds seem to flutter (拍翅膀) their wings to tell their mates they should enter the nest first, suggesting that the animals may communicate with a variety of gestures. Toshitaka Suzuki at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues set up hundreds of nest boxes in a forest populated with Japanese tits (山雀) near the town of Karuizawa. Each box had a 7.5-centimetre-wide hole, just big enough for one bird to squeeze through at a time. During breeding season, the team observed 321 nest visits across eight breeding pairs, with the tits often bringing food for their baby birds. If a bird couple arrived at the nest together, each tit would land on a nearby branch before entering. About 40 percent of the time, the female fluttered her wings for a few seconds, with her chest facing the male. This was quickly followed by the male entering the nest first, then the female. When neither bird fluttered its wings, which made up 44 percent of nest visitations, the females usually entered first. Only one male was seen repeatedly fluttering its wings, which was followed by the female entering first. Wing fluttering wasn’t observed at all when each bird arrived separately. The team believes that this discovery conflicts with earlier beliefs that only a few species use gestures to communicate. “They’ve done a really good job here of showing there is an association between this movement, this gesture, and then… the other bird doing something,” says Mike Webster, an ornithologist at Cornell University, who was not involved in the research. “It’s a really strong support to the notion that it’s a symbolic gesture. The bird that’s the receiver knows what it means, and it does what it’s supposed to do.” “We can conclude that this wing fluttering conveys ‘after you’.” says Suzuki. “This study is the first to show us clearly by evidence that birds can use wing movements to convey a particular meaning.” 28. What is the aim of Toshitaka Suzuki’s experiment? A. To find how the birds wings work in the wind. B. To observe whether birds treat their mates politely. C. To research whether birds can use symbolic gestures D. To prove whether birds can communicate with each other. 29. According to paragraph 2, why do tits flutter their wings? A. To show direction to the other bird. B. To signal their mates to enter the nest. C. To dry off their wings after flying in the rain. D. To scare away potential predators near the nest. 30. How do the researchers conduct the study on Japanese tits? A. By listing some examples. B. By reviewing previous data. C. By observing and comparing. D. By analyzing cause and effect 31. What’s the attitude of Mike Webster toward the study? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现鸟类使用象征性姿势交流的首个证据，揭示了日本山雀拍打翅膀示意伴侣优先入巢的习性。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now researchers have found, in a particularly polite example, the first documented evidence of a symbolic gesture used by birds. Some birds seem to flutter(拍翅膀) their wings to tell their mates they should enter the nest first, suggesting that the animals may communicate with a variety of gestures.(现在，研究人员在一个特别礼貌的例子中发现了鸟类使用象征性示意动作的第一个记录证据。有些鸟似乎会扇动翅膀，告诉它们的伴侣应该先进入巢穴，这表明这些动物可能会通过各种示意动作进行交流)”可知，Toshitaka Suzuki的实验目的是研究鸟类是否能使用象征性示意动作进行交流。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“About 40 percent of the time, the female fluttered her wings for a few seconds, with her chest facing the male. This was quickly followed by the male entering the nest first, then the female.(大约40%的时间里，雌鸟会拍打它的翅膀几秒钟，胸朝向雄鸟。这之后很快，雄鸟便会首先进入巢穴，接着是雌鸟)”可知，山雀拍打翅膀是为了向其伴侣发出信号，让它们先进入巢穴。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“During breeding season, the team observed 321 nest visits across eight breeding pairs, with the tits often bringing food for their baby birds. If a bird couple arrived at the nest together, each tit would land on a nearby branch before entering. About 40 percent of the time, the female fluttered her wings for a few seconds, with her chest facing the male. This was quickly followed by the male entering the nest first, then the female. When neither bird fluttered its wings, which made up 44 percent of nest visitations, the females usually entered first. Only one male was seen repeatedly fluttering its wings, which was followed by the female entering first. Wing fluttering wasn’t observed at all when each bird arrived separately.(在繁殖季节，研究团队对八对育雏的鸟夫妻进行了观察，记录了321次巢穴访问，其间山雀经常为它们的幼鸟带来食物。如果一对鸟儿一同到达巢穴，它们都会先落在附近的树枝上，然后再进入巢内。大约40%的情况下，雌鸟会面向雄鸟胸部位置拍打翅膀几秒钟。之后紧接着是雄鸟先入巢，随后雌鸟进入。在44%的巢穴访问中，若两只鸟都不拍打翅膀，通常是雌鸟先进入。只观察到一只雄鸟会反复拍打翅膀，之后雌鸟会先入巢。当每只鸟分别到达时，完全没有观察到翅膀拍打的行为)”可知，研究团队观察和比较了不同情境下鸟类进入巢穴的顺序，从而得出结论，这表明研究方法是通过观察和比较来进行的。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Mike Webster的评论“They’ve done a really good job here of showing there is an association between this movement, this gesture, and then… the other bird doing something(他们在这里做得非常好，展示了这种动作、这种姿态与另一只鸟随之做出某种行为之间的关联)”“It’s a really strong support to the notion that it’s a symbolic gesture. The bird that’s the receiver knows what it means, and it does what it’s supposed to do.(这强有力地支持了这样一个观点，即这是一种象征性的姿态。接收信号的鸟明白其含义，并据此做出它该做的行为)”可知，他对这项研究持赞同态度。故选A。 D Is social media really making young people antisocial (孤僻的)? A surprising new study finds that children and young adults who use these platforms the most are actually more active in the real world than others! The new findings come from a long-term project called the Trondheim Early Secure Study. Researchers collected information from about 800 children and young adults when they were 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years old. This included interviews about each child’s use of social media from year to year. The goal was to determine if using social media affects a young person’s overall social skills. To the team’s surprise, participants frequently using these platforms did not see their social skills reduced. “On the contrary, we find that people who use social media a lot spend more time with friends offline than those who tend to limit their screen time,” says Professor Silje Steinsbekk from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s Department of Psychology. However social media can present challenges for children and teens. Although it offers a convenient and comfortable way for those with social anxiety to communicate, it can also lead to addiction and misuse. Studies have suggested that young people with anxiety are more easily affected by the negative effects of social media, which can worsen their symptoms and harm their mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to monitor their children’s online activity and usage Despite the risks to some, the team says their findings debunk the belief that social media causes young people to become socially isolated. In fact, their frequent use of social platforms may actually give them more opportunities to connect with old and new friends and set up chances to go out and socialize outdoors. 32. What does the study focus on? A. The influence of social media on young people. B. The importance of young people’s social skills. C. Reasons for people becoming isolated from the community. D. Ways to prevent children from becoming addicted to social media. 33. Who may probably be more active in the real world according to the study? A. The one seldom surfing the Internet. B. The one experıencıng social anxiety. C. The one never making friends online. D. The one using social media frequently. 34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Negative emotions cause teens to misuse social media. B. Kids are more easıly influenced by social media than adults. C. Online communication can help improve people’s mental health D. Social media is a double-edged sword for young people with anxiety. 35. What does the underlined word “debunk” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Confirm. B. Ignore. C. Explain. D. Challenge. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要基于一项关于社交媒体对年轻人社交影响的研究，通过介绍研究方法、结果，并对比普遍观点，分析了频繁使用社交媒体的年轻人在现实生活中的社交活动情况，同时提及了社交媒体对部分用户的潜在风险，整体上是对该研究发现的阐述与解读。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The goal was to determine if using social media affects a young person’s overall social skills.(目的是确定使用社交媒体是否会影响年轻人的总体社交技能。)”可知，该研究关注的社交媒体对年轻人的影响。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中““On the contrary, we find that people who use social media a lot spend more time with friends offline than those who tend to limit their screen time,” says Professor Silje Steinsbekk from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s Department of Psychology.(‘相反，我们发现，经常使用社交媒体的人比那些倾向于限制屏幕时间的人花更多的时间与线下的朋友在一起，’挪威科技大学心理学系的斯利杰·斯坦斯贝克教授说。)”可知，根据研究，经常使用社交媒体的青少年可能在现实世界中更活跃。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, social media can present challenges for children and teens. Although it offers a convenient and comfortable way for those with social anxiety to communicate, it can also lead to addiction and misuse. Studies have suggested that young people with anxiety are more easily affected by the negative effects of social media, which can worsen their symptoms and harm their mental health. Therefore, it is crucial for parents to monitor their children’s online activity and usage.(然而，社交媒体给儿童和青少年带来了挑战。虽然它为那些有社交焦虑的人提供了一种方便和舒适的交流方式，但它也可能导致上瘾和滥用。研究表明，焦虑的年轻人更容易受到社交媒体负面影响的影响，这会使他们的症状恶化，损害他们的心理健康。因此，家长监控孩子的网络活动和使用情况是至关重要的。)”可知，对于有焦虑的年轻人来说，社交媒体是一把双刃剑。因为虽然它为社交焦虑者提供了一种方便舒适的沟通方式，但也可能导致成瘾和误用，且对有焦虑的年轻人负面影响更大，这表明对于焦虑的年轻人来说，社交媒体是一把双刃剑。故选D。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文中“Despite the risks to some(尽管对一些人来说存在风险)”、下午中的“the belief that social media causes young people to become socially isolated(认为社交媒体导致年轻人社交孤立的观点)”以及“In fact, their frequent use of social platforms may actually give them more opportunities to connect with old and new friends and set up chances to go out and socialize outdoors.(事实上，他们频繁使用社交平台可能会让他们有更多机会与新老朋友联系，并有机会出去参加户外社交活动。)”可知，团队的发现与普遍认为社交媒体使年轻人变得孤立的观点相反，因此debunk一词最有可能的意思是“反驳”。A. Confirm证实；B. Ignore忽视；C. Explain解释；D. Challenge向……挑战，对……质疑。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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Libraries are highly regarded as symbols of local history and traditions, acting as places for a community’s shared memories.

We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and full of energy. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fast ball and hit anything that moves on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular thing happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream. It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per hour, much more than the average $3.5. That was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect (前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn’t dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, ”If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach by myself. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. I gathered my courage and knocked at his door… 67. 根据文本内容从方框中选择适当的词，并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用1次，有2词多余。 continue, energy, upset, advise, fortunate, price, throw, excite, have, disappoint, move, recommend Following My Dream I grew up in a poor family and we ______ little money and few goods. → I felt happy and ______.

I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.”（我很高兴，充满活力。我明白了，无论一个人多么贫穷，他仍然可以拥有一个梦想。）可知，根据第1段，作者认为“梦”是一种超越物质财富的宝贵财产。尽管成长于一个经济条件有限的贫困家庭，但作者明白一个人的梦想并不是由他的经济地位决定的。或作者认为，梦想是非常私人的东西，每个人都能负担得起，不管他们有多少钱。作者强调，即使在贫困中，一个人仍然可以培养和追求自己的梦想。故回答为：Based on paragraph 1, the author believed that “dream” was a valuable possession that transcended material wealth. Despite growing up in a poor family with limited financial resources, the author understood that a person’s dreams were not determined by their economic status. 或 The author believed that dreams were something deeply personal and affordable to everyone, regardless of how much money they had. The author emphasized that even in poverty, one could still nurture and aspire towards their dreams. 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is priceless.””（我很幸运，我的高中教练是奥利·贾维斯，他不仅相信我，而且经常告诉我:“梦想是无价的。”）可知，教练鼓励他实现自己的梦想，经常告诉他，梦想是无价的。这表明了教练对作者潜力的坚定信心，并强调了远大梦想和为之奋斗的重要性。教练鼓励的话语帮助激励作者继续追求成为一名运动员的梦想，尽管他面临着挑战。故回答为：The coach encouraged him to realize his dream by often telling him that the dream was priceless. This showed the coach’s strong faith in the author’s potential and highlighted the importance of dreaming big and striving for them. The coach’s words of encouragement helped motivate the author to continue pursuing his dream of becoming an athlete, despite the challenges he faced. 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per hour, much more than the average $3.5. That was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.”（ 那是高二的暑假，一个朋友推荐我去做暑期工。我的时薪是12.25美元，远高于平均的3.5美元。那是一大笔钱。我很兴奋，因为这意味着我口袋里有钱的机会，当然，有钱买一辆新自行车和新衣服，并开始为我母亲攒钱买房子。这份工作的前景很诱人，我想抓住这个机会。）根据第四段“Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule.”（然后我意识到我必须放弃夏季棒球训练来处理工作安排。）可知，作者之所以想放弃夏季棒球训练，是因为他得到了一份薪水高于平均水平的暑期工作，这对他来说意味着一大笔钱。这笔钱意味着他有机会买一辆新自行车和新衣服，也意味着他开始为母亲攒钱买房。然而，工作日程与他的棒球训练相冲突，所以他不得不做出一个艰难的决定。最终，为家庭赚钱的前景压倒了他继续训练棒球的愿望。故回答为：The author wanted to give up summer baseball training because he was offered a summer job that paid much more than the average, which meant a significant amount of money for him. This money represented a chance to buy a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for his mother. However, the work schedule conflicted with his baseball training, so he had to make a difficult decision. Ultimately, the prospect of earning money for his family outweighed his desire to continue training for baseball. 【71题详解】 考查开放性试题。教练会同意作者的决定吗?他会对作者说什么? 不同意。他会说:“每小时12.25美元是你实现梦想的代价吗?梦想是无价的。以毁掉梦想为代价来赚零花钱是愚蠢的。”或者同意。他会说:“我理解你的处境，也相信你。但是当你完成你的工作时，你必须更多地练习和付出更多的努力来追随你的梦想，因为梦想是无价的。”故回答为：Disagree. He would say: “Is $12.25 an hour the price of your dream? Dream is priceless. It’s stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of ruining your dream.”或者Agree. He would say: “I understand your situation and believe in you. But you have to practice more and spare more efforts to follow your dream when you finish your work because dream is priceless.”。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
