A. press B. to press C. pressing D. pressed 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查祈使句。句意：在任何不安全的情况下，仅仅摁一下这个按钮，一个训练有素的特工就会使你得到你需要的帮助。and是连词，连接并列结构，and后面是一个句子，那么，前面也应是句子，选项中只有动词原形可以构成祈使句，其余的都是非谓语动词，无法构成句子。故A选项正确。 点睛：祈使句+and/or+陈述句是一种常见结构。当前后两部分间为承接关系时，用and；前后意思为相反关系时，用or。该句式中的陈述句部分常用一般将来时态。 12. It is a great joy for children to have a harmonious family, ________ the parents treat their child like a friend. A. why B. where C. which D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：对孩子来说，有一个和谐的家庭是一件很快乐的事。在和谐的家庭里，父母像朋友一样对待他们的孩子。分析句子成分可知，the parents treat their child like a friend.为定语从句，缺少一个引导词。a harmonious family先行词，表地点，引导词在从句中作地点状语，故用where引导定语从句。故选B项。 【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为a harmonious family，再分析先行词a harmonious family在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词a harmonious family代入到从句中可知，只能作地点状语，故确定关系词where，相当于in which。 13. remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that is the real spirit of invention. A. What B. That C. Why D. Who 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：重要的是，我们有一种难以置信的思考和创造的欲望，这才是真正的发明精神。分析句子可知，句子为主语从句，空格处单词引导从句，从句中缺少主语，指事物，没有选择范围，故应用“what”引导从句，句首单词首字母大写。故选A项。 14. Nowadays many people have opened their TikTok accounts, they share their ideas and feelings with us. A. what B. where C. which D. how 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：现在许多人都开通了他们的抖音账号，他们在那里与我们分享他们的想法和感受。先行词为TikTok accounts，在非限制性定语从句中作抽象地点状语，关系副词为where。故选B项。 15. the newspaper, I’m shocked by photos showing that a hurricane in Asia has destroyed a town. A. Look through B. To look through C. Looked through D. Looking through 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：翻阅报纸时，我被亚洲飓风摧毁了一个城镇的照片震惊了。句中已有am，空处look through在句中用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语I构成主动关系，故用现在分词形式Looking through作状语。故选D。 16. ______ a serious knee injury, the soccer player has to leave the field of sports. A. Due to B. But for C. Instead of D. Far from 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：由于膝盖严重受伤，这位足球运动员不得不离开赛场。A. Due to由于，因为；B. But for要不是；C. Instead of而不是；D.

A. come about B. come into C. come up with D. come out with 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析：句意：——你想出一些新的想法吗？——是的。以后我会告诉你。A. come about发生；B. come into 进入，得到；C. come up with赶上，想出；D. come out with发表，公布。根据“some new ideas ”可知，指想出一些新的想法。故选C。 18. ______I always felt I would pass the exam, I never thought I would get an A.

A. so that B. as though C. in case D. even though 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查连词短语辨析。句意：尽管那天下着大雨，我还是像往常一样步行去上班。A. so that以便；B. as though似乎；C. in case以防；D. even though尽管。根据“As usual, I went to work on foot that day”和“it was raining heavily”可知，前后构成让步关系，应用even though引导让步状语从句。故选D。 20. ______ in thought, John completely missed his bus stop and had to walk back.

Losing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：约翰陷入了沉思，完全错过了公共汽车站，只得走回去。句中missed与had to并列作谓语；be lost in sth意为“全神贯注；沉浸于”，在句中作非谓语动词，应填过去分词lost作状语，首字母大写。故选C。 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) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Napa Valley is home to some of California's most beautiful hiking trails.

Yet there was something in my way — the River Thames. I checked my map to see how to reach the path, but there was no other footpath that would lead me to the island on which it sat. It was only accessible by boat. It was this path that came to mind when, a few weeks later, I decided to try cross-country swimming, which combines water and walking. As I got into the river, its coolness welcome on the warm August day, the weight of my supplies dissipated. My back was fee, and I simply puled everything I needed in a bag behind me, feeling almost weightless. I relaxed into the water, my hair flowing around my face as I slowly floated alongside dragonflies, a moorhen and her chicks-none of which seemed to even acknowledge my presence. The whole experience went by all too quickly and in no time I was drying off and walking back to the station. Though cross-country swimming was invented to provide a challenge, I believed it had given me something much more important-the confidence to try it by myself. So I decided to return to my inaccessible island, the footpath by the Thames. I got into the waterway and swam, exploring the island’s banks for a while. After five minutes of searching, the island let me in: I found my entrance point alongside a tree and pulled myself out. Though the Thames loop wasn’t that long a walk, and the swim was not too big a challenge, it represented more than that. It gave me the chance to pioneer a new route never open to me before, the opportunity to reach a picnic spot that otherwise would have been off-limits and, when it came to that footpath, the ability to access the previously inaccessible. 24. What initially prevented the author from accessing the public footpath? A. Overgrown fields. B. A lack of signposts. C A dense woodland. D. A fast-flowing river. 25. What does the underlined word “dissipated” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Spread B. Multiplied. C. Remained. D. Disappeared. 26. Which word best describes the author’s cross-country swimming trial? A. Encouraging. B. Exhausting. C. Thrilling. D. Frustrating 27. What does the island by the Thames mean to the author? A. A chance to get closer to nature. B. A mental and physical burden. C. A symbol of personal achievement. D. An escape from the real world. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的一次越野游泳经历，这次经历带给了作者自信心，找到了个人的成就感。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet there was something in my way — the River Thames, whose water runs very fast.(然而有一样东西挡住了我的去路——泰晤士河，它的水流得很快)”可知，最初是湍急的河流阻碍了作者到达公共人行道。故选D。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“My back was free, and I simply pulled everything I needed in a bag behind me, feeling almost weightless.(我的背部是自由的，我只是把我需要的东西放在我身后的一个袋子里，感觉几乎没有重量)”可知，此处是指补给的重量消失了，所以dissipated意为“消失”。故选D。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Though cross-country swimming was invented to provide a challenge, I believed it had given me something much more important-the confidence to try it by myself.(虽然发明越野游泳是为了提供挑战，但我相信它给了我更重要的东西——自己尝试的信心)”可知，作者的越野游泳经历是很激励人心的。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It gave me the chance to pioneer a new route never open to me before, the opportunity to reach a picnic spot that otherwise would have been off-limits and, when it came to that footpath, the ability to access the previously inaccessible.(它让我有机会开拓一条以前从未向我开放的新路线，有机会到达一个野餐的地方，否则就会是禁区，当它来到那条小径时，有能力进入以前无法进入的地方)”可知，找到通往小岛的小径对作者来说意味着个人的成就。故选C。 C For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals-from big cats to tiny lizards-and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these animals? Long ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园), Animal welfare was not a priority. Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and — to some extent — copying their natural habitats. Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes. Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:”There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have captive breeding programs which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise face extinction. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river. While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.” 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A The origins of menageries. B. The benefits of modern zoos. C. The problems with animal captivity. D. The historical shift in treating wild animals. 29. Why does the author mention the Zoo Licensing Actof1981? A. To emphasize the educational role of zoos. B. To explain why zoos began to help wildlife C. To introduce methods of conserving wildlife. D. To state the need for stricter regulations of zoos. 30. What’s Robert Young’s attitude toward having zoos? A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 31. What conservation achievement was attributed to Chester Zoo by actor Leonardo DiCaprio? A. Exploring ways for humans to meet wildlife. B. Raising funds for captive breeding programs C. Reviving and releasing a rare fish species. D. Involving celebrities in raising wildlife awareness. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，文章介绍了是否应该开设动物园这一问题。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Long ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园), Animal welfare was not a priority. Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and — to some extent — copying their natural habitats.(很久以前，人们只能在博物馆里看到填充标本的野生动物。后来，活生生的动物被探险家捕获，带回家，在动物园向公众展示。动物福利不再是优先考虑的问题。然而，现代动物园已经改变了动物的生活环境，建造了更大的围栏，拆除了栅栏，并在某种程度上复制了它们的自然栖息地)”可知，第二段的主要内容是对待野生动物的历史转变。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes.(有些人质疑圈养动物作为娱乐的残忍，但动物园热衷于通过教育我们保护野生动物来表明它们对野生动物的帮助。在英国，《1981年动物园许可证法案》的出台也要求动物园对公众进行教育。管理良好的动物园现在也参与支持和资助保护项目)”可知，故文章提及《1981年动物园许可证法案》是为了强调动物园的教育作用。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:”There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.”(索尔福德大学野生动物保护主任罗伯特·杨说:“如果没有动物园，地球上有很多不同的物种，我们今天就不会有这些物种。”)”可知，罗伯特·杨对动物园的态度是支持。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.(演员莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥最近称赞了英国切斯特动物园的保护工作。在繁殖并将一群金色斯基菲亚鱼放回其原生河流后，它使“一种罕见的鱼类起死回生”)”可知，演员莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥认为切斯特动物园的保护成就是恢复和放归一种稀有鱼类。故选C。 D The American Psychological Association (APA) has issued its first guidance on teens’ social media use. What’s most surprising in its databased recommendations is how little we know about how these apps affect our kids. The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and TikTok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains. Getting better data will require significant funding-and much more openness from tech companies. What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators (激励因素) that aren’t great for young brains. Many kid start using social media “at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development”, says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina(UNC). “Thing like the ‘like’ button and artificial intelligence(in general)are going to affect young people’s brains in a way that’s very different from adult brains when it comes to the desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers.” When it comes to social interactions (互动), he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes (刹车). Earlier this year, Prinstein and his UNC colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how the teenage brain reacts to social media. The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits, and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains as they reacted to social rewards or punishments. They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had different neural patterns, with more activity over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, salience(or where attention is focused)and cognitive (认知的) control. The team didn’t weigh in on whether those differences were good or bad, or whether the relationship was causal or correlational. But their work points to the need for more research. It should also remind parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media’s hidden influence on still-developing brains. 32. What issue regarding social media apps does the APA report highlight? A. Their effects on social connections. B. The lack of data on their influence. C. The dishonesty of their developers D. The ineffectiveness of their motivators. 33. Which word can best describe young brains in relation to social interactions? A. Uncontrolled. B. Sensitive C. Unpredictable. D. Productive 34. What did Prinstein’s team discover about teenagers who regularly usesocial media? A. They are usually highly motivated B. They find it difficult to concentrate C. They have greater cognitive control D. Their brains show unique features 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. Empowering Teens in the Digital Age B. How to Guide Teens’ Social Media Engagement C. The Importance of Healthy Social Media Habits D. The Hidden Influence of Social Media on Young Minds 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章重点讨论了社交媒体对青少年大脑的潜在影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What’s most surprising in its databased recommendations is how little we know about how these apps affect our kids.(在其数据库推荐中，最令人惊讶的是，我们对这些应用程序如何影响我们的孩子知之甚少)”和第二段“The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and TikTok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains. Getting better data will require significant funding-and much more openness from tech companies.(Snapchat和抖音等平台相对较新，这意味着关于它们对青少年大脑的长期影响的研究很少。获得更好的数据将需要大量的资金——以及科技公司更加开放的态度)”可知，APA报告中强调了我们对这些应用对青少年的影响了解甚少，即缺乏关于其影响的数据。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When it comes to social interactions (互动), he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes (刹车).(当谈到社会互动时，他把孩子的大脑比作一辆油门踏板很大、刹车却很弱的汽车)”可知，青少年的大脑在进行社交活动时就好像汽车有一个猛油门和弱刹车，即很容易失控。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had different neural patterns, with more activity over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, salience (or where attention is focused) and cognitive (认知的) control.(他们发现，习惯查看社交媒体的12岁儿童具有独特的神经模式，随着时间的推移，大脑中与动机、突出性（或注意力集中的地方）和认知控制相关的部分活动更多)”可知， Prin stein的团队发现他们大脑的结构呈现出独特的模式。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators (激励因素) that aren’t great for young brains. Many kid start using social media “at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development”, says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina(UNC).(毫无疑问，我们所掌握的少量证据表明，社交媒体利用的激励因素对年轻人的大脑并不好。北卡罗来纳大学的心理学家和神经科学家米奇·普林斯坦说，许多孩子“在大脑发育最糟糕的时候”开始使用社交媒体)”结合文章重点讨论了社交媒体对青少年大脑的潜在影响。D选项“社交媒体对年轻人思想的潜在影响”符合文章标题。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。 When scrolling through TikTok, I often come across videos suggesting products to improve my self-care routine.___36___ Here are some ways I practice self-care that I believe can truly improve overall mental wellness.

If going to class is something that makes you really anxious, be sure to set aside some time to do a sport or create art in a way that makes you feel inspired or at peace.”（虽然这似乎是显而易见的，但我发现参加能让我充满活力的活动是必不可少的，因为作为一名学生，我一天中的大部分时间都会感到压力。如果去上课真的让你很焦虑，一定要留出一些时间做运动或创作艺术，以一种让你感到灵感或平静的方式。）说明在遇到压力时，要参加一些能让你充满动力的活动。B项“Take part in activities that fill you with motivation.”（参加能让你充满动力的活动。）可概括本段内容。故选B项。 【40题详解】 上文“Self-care is often viewed through a lens that we must be focusing on individual improvement. From my experience, turning inward often leads to negative emotions.”（自我保健通常被认为是我们必须关注个人的进步。从我的经验来看，内向往往会导致负面情绪。）说明不社交，不与他人交流会导致负面情绪，E项“Challenge this idea by doing nice things for others.”（通过为他人做好事来挑战这个想法。）说明了正确的方法，并引出下文“Cook something to share with your friends and remind your loved ones of how much they mean to you.”（做一些食物与你的朋友分享，提醒你所爱的人他们对你有多重要。）具体的向他人表达善意的方法。衔接恰当。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(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,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In August, Hilde Falun Strom and Sunniva Sorby began a nine-month Arctic expedition, settling into a tiny hunting cabin on the high-Arctic Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard.

Dad put his arm around Mom and told them that they were going on a trip to the Virunga Mountains of Africa. There were three national parks that they would visit. Rose and Gina looked at each other. “What?” they said with one voice. Mom told them it would be really exciting to go there on a trip. At 12 years old, Rose would prefer going to an amusement park or a beach. She thought it important to let her parents know she didn’t want to go there but to the beach for a week or two. “Well,” said Dad, “I have to go for an assignment for the paper. We’re covering the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) because they’re critically endangered these years. So, I thought it’d also be a great place to take a vacation. I’m sure it’ll be very educational for you girls.” Gina let out a sigh, unable to contain her disappointment. She wanted to say something but Mom interrupted and announced that the trip was set on the next Monday. “Sit down, both of you.” Dad had on his severe look. “Girls, it’s important for you to know about the world around you. This is a wonderful chance for you to experience and learn an amazing place. Do you know anything about the mountain gorillas?” The sisters shook their heads. “Well, get your laptop computer, Gina.

B The public footpath laid barely 20 meters from where I stood, promising a walk along the river, passing fields and through woodland, well away from any road. Yet there was something in my way — the River Thames. I checked my map to see how to reach the path, but there was no other footpath that would lead me to the island on which it sat. It was only accessible by boat. It was this path that came to mind when, a few weeks later, I decided to try cross-country swimming, which combines water and walking. As I got into the river, its coolness welcome on the warm August day, the weight of my supplies dissipated. My back was fee, and I simply puled everything I needed in a bag behind me, feeling almost weightless. I relaxed into the water, my hair flowing around my face as I slowly floated alongside dragonflies, a moorhen and her chicks-none of which seemed to even acknowledge my presence. The whole experience went by all too quickly and in no time I was drying off and walking back to the station. Though cross-country swimming was invented to provide a challenge, I believed it had given me something much more important-the confidence to try it by myself. So I decided to return to my inaccessible island, the footpath by the Thames. I got into the waterway and swam, exploring the island’s banks for a while. After five minutes of searching, the island let me in: I found my entrance point alongside a tree and pulled myself out. Though the Thames loop wasn’t that long a walk, and the swim was not too big a challenge, it represented more than that. It gave me the chance to pioneer a new route never open to me before, the opportunity to reach a picnic spot that otherwise would have been off-limits and, when it came to that footpath, the ability to access the previously inaccessible. 24. What initially prevented the author from accessing the public footpath? A. Overgrown fields. B. A lack of signposts. C. A dense woodland. D. A fast-flowing river. 25 What does the underlined word “dissipated” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Spread B. Multiplied. C. Remained. D. Disappeared. 26. Which word best describes the author’s cross-country swimming trial? A. Encouraging. B. Exhausting. C. Thrilling. D. Frustrating 27. What does the island by the Thames mean to the author? A. A chance to get closer to nature. B. A mental and physical burden. C. A symbol of personal achievement. D. An escape from the real world. C For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals-from big cats to tiny lizards-and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these animals? Long ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园), Animal welfare was not a priority. Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and — to some extent — copying their natural habitats. Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes. Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:”There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have captive breeding programs which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise face extinction. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river. While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.” 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The origins of menageries. B. The benefits of modern zoos. C. The problems with animal captivity. D. The historical shift in treating wild animals. 29. Why does the author mention the Zoo Licensing Actof1981? A. To emphasize the educational role of zoos. B. To explain why zoos began to help wildlife C. To introduce methods of conserving wildlife. D. To state the need for stricter regulations of zoos. 30. What’s Robert Young’s attitude toward having zoos? A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 31. What conservation achievement was attributed to Chester Zoo by actor Leonardo DiCaprio? A. Exploring ways for humans to meet wildlife. B. Raising funds for captive breeding programs C. Reviving and releasing a rare fish species. D. Involving celebrities in raising wildlife awareness. D The American Psychological Association (APA) has issued its first guidance on teens’ social media use. What’s most surprising in its databased recommendations is how little we know about how these apps affect our kids. The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and TikTok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains. Getting better data will require significant funding-and much more openness from tech companies. What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators (激励因素) that aren’t great for young brains. Many kid start using social media “at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development”, says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina(UNC). “Thing like the ‘like’ button and artificial intelligence(in general)are going to affect young people’s brains in a way that’s very different from adult brains when it comes to the desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers.” When it comes to social interactions (互动), he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes (刹车). Earlier this year, Prinstein and his UNC colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how the teenage brain reacts to social media. The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits, and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains as they reacted to social rewards or punishments. They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had different neural patterns, with more activity over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, salience(or where attention is focused)and cognitive (认知的) control. The team didn’t weigh in on whether those differences were good or bad, or whether the relationship was causal or correlational. But their work points to the need for more research. It should also remind parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media’s hidden influence on still-developing brains. 32. What issue regarding social media apps does the APA report highlight? A. Their effects on social connections. B. The lack of data on their influence. C. The dishonesty of their developers D. The ineffectiveness of their motivators. 33. Which word can best describe young brains in relation to social interactions? A. Uncontrolled. B. Sensitive C. Unpredictable. D. Productive 34. What did Prinstein’s team discover about teenagers who regularly usesocial media? A. They are usually highly motivated B. They find it difficult to concentrate C. They have greater cognitive control D. Their brains show unique features 35. What might be the best title for the text? A. Empowering Teens in the Digital Age B. How to Guide Teens’ Social Media Engagement C. The Importance of Healthy Social Media Habits D.

She recalled the joyful experiences they shared last summer, which filled her with excitement for the upcoming holiday. “Girls!” Rose heard her father calling. She raced to her big sister’s room, telling her that Dad was calling them, and they rushed downstairs log either. Dad put his arm around Mom and told them that they were going on a trip to the Virunga Mountains of Africa. There were three national parks that they would visit. Rose and Gina looked at each other. “What?” they said with one voice. Mom told them it would be really exciting to go there on a trip. At 12 years old, Rose would prefer going to an amusement park or a beach. She thought it important to let her parents know she didn’t want to go there but to the beach for a week or two. “Well,” said Dad, “I have to go for an assignment for the paper. We’re covering the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) because they’re critically endangered these years. So, I thought it’d also be a great place to take a vacation. I’m sure it’ll be very educational for you girls.” Gina let out a sigh, unable to contain her disappointment. She wanted to say something but Mom interrupted and announced that the trip was set on the next Monday. “Sit down, both of you.” Dad had on his severe look. “Girls, it’s important for you to know about the world around you. This is a wonderful chance for you to experience and learn an amazing place. Do you know anything about the mountain gorillas?” The sisters shook their heads. “Well, get your laptop computer, Gina. I want you to look them up right now,” said Dad, “Rose, there is a book on the bookshelf about the cute mountain gorillas. Find it and read it.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The girls dragged their feet upstairs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next Monday came and the family set out excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
