Today’s students have a problem. They were born into a world where smartphones, social media, and immediate access to the internet are hurting their ability to focus.
Now teachers have a problem too. They find it particularly exhausting to ask students to read complex or long texts without taking 11 breaks. Smartphones have clearly affected the younger generation, but how education should 12 for digital-native students was not something that was 13 when they were getting certified.
A common idea among teachers is that short is good. When students can’t seem to pay attention to long lectures, many teachers simply 14 lessons into smaller chunks. In fact, students need time to 15 with a topic once the teacher introduces it before moving on. Switching between small lessons too quickly could rob them of valuable 16 .
A study from educational publisher Pearson found that students aged between 10 and 24 tend to stay away from 17 books. Therefore, some tech-forward teachers choose to “meet kids where they are” on platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.
Still, while those educators are embracing technology in the classroom to meet students’ needs, they are also finding value in traditional methods, and so suggest a mixed learning approach. Direct 18 from them will never be replaced in their classes. Technology will be 19 only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.
Teachers are making an effort not only to ensure that students take advantage of new technologies, but to teach students valuable skills that can help them succeed in a world constantly trying to 20 them.
III. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are 21 their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, eco-communities are being designed with a green 22 in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is one of them.
If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a 23 community along the harbor front of British Columbia’s capital city. The community will be home to 2,500 people and will 24 residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation (通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are 25 and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast and does not require 26 to grow.
Energy efficiency is one of the 27 concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures (照明设备) reduce the environmental 28 of heating and hot water, but they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will have individual water metres (水表) 29 studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. 30 , water is treated at Dockside Green and reused for flushing toilets.
Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the 31 into consideration. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce 32 .
Dockside residents will be encouraged to take advantage of a mini transport system and buy into the community’s car share program. Finally, plans are underway for a high-tech heating system that will use 33 energy instead of fossil fuels.
Dockside residents will 34 excellent local services with high-quality healthcare, shopping and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent leisure facilities and plentiful green open spaces.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail (欧洲旅游火车通票) holiday. My body couldn’t take any more punishment. My mind couldn’t deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.
“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you’ve learnt to sleep in the passage of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.
Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack (背包) makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand.
Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty social. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too attractive, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.
We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared passage floors, food and water, money and music.
The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.
36.What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3?
A.Worrying about your clothes. B.Throwing unwanted things away.
C.Behaving in an anti-social way. D.Looking after your possessions.
37.Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?
A.To get to one place cheaply. B.To meet other young people.
C.To see a lot of famous places. D.To go on a tour of Europe.
38.What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that_____.
A.he could see more interesting places B.he could spend more time sightseeing
C.he could stay away from home longer D.he could make his own decisions
39.What does “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.A name. B.The city. C.The train. D.The station.
B

In the past years the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased, and so has the number of injuries. It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year. Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 2001 and 2021.
The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 2001 and 2021. The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
“We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury,” explained the study author Lara McKenzie, PhD, director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital. “This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”
44.Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?
A.The arm. B.The ankle. C.The knee. D.The hand.
45.How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 2001 and 2021?
A.About 40, 000. B.About 30, 000.
C.About 20, 000. D.About 10, 000.
46.The severity of climbers’ fall-related injures is mainly related to ________.
A.the height of the fall B.the climber’s age
C.the climber’s health conditions D.the climber’s climbing experience
47.The underlined word “demonstrates” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.demands B.prevents C.proves D.describes
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Lego in China
Engineers gather around a table-sized model of the China Art Museum, a landmark of Shanghai, adding airports for helicopters, car parks and other improvements with colorful bricks. 48 Li Yang, visiting for a few days from Shenzhen, has been waiting for her daughter for two hours. Zhu Yunfei, watching his son, marvels at the variety: “Coming here to play with him is making up for my childhood,” he says. They drop by every week.
Lego’s rise in China has been shiningly attractive. In 2017 it overlook Alpha Group, a local giant, to become the country’s leading toy company (not including video games). In the past two years it has opened 89 stores and wants 50 more by December, which will bring it to 30 cities. Its first Chinese factory started making bricks in 2016. The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm’s Chinese section has won “very strong double digits(两位数)”, says Paul Huang, its boss.
49 In 2017 Lego cut 1,400 jobs and recorded its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each. Lego has thus retained its status as the world’s biggest toy-maker, snatched from Mattel in 2014 - even as its American rival last year earned its highest revenues in five years from its Barbie dolls.
Newly wealthy parents in China have helped Lego recover. “We have not reached the extreme out there, by far,” says Niels Christiansen, whom Lego brought in as chief executive two years ago. 50 Last year 98% of those surveyed by Lego said that play was essential for their child’s well-being, even more than Americans and Danes.
Lego has also sensibly managed to meet the demands of local tastes. 51 Fans were delighted at the attention to cultural detail. One was a Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner kit, with tiny red envelopes and chunlian, lucky couplets on banners pasted around doorways. A dragon boat race set included a sticky-rice dumpling, a popular festival snack. The high-quality kits are pricey, costing up to 700 yuan ($100) a piece.
A.It has done so even though the brick-maker’s global business has looked shakier.
B.It has been sold in great volumes with various kinds of sets and earned the fame as the most suitable toys for children to play with.
C.Removing a child from Lego’s vast shop near People’s Square can be like unsticking two stubborn bits of Lego.
D.Over the past decades, Lego’s sales volume in China is not as satisfying as it expected.
E.As in the West, the educational merits of bricks appeal to Chinese parents.
F.This year the firm launched several sets specifically for China, the first time it has done so for any country.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
A trip to a water park can be a fun adventure for families, couples or a group of friends. Whether you prefer relaxing in a tube on a lazy river or riding a water roller coaster, a trip to one of the nation's water parks offers something exciting to everyone. However, the fun does not come without risks. People who plan to go to a water park should be careful enough and follow rules to avoid these risks.
Drowning (溺水) is one of the greatest dangers in water parks, especially for young children. The ability to swim is the most important skill in a water park. Before you go to a water park, make sure that all the people in your group know how to swim well. Do not swim in water that does not have a lifeguard on the scene. Many parks provide life jackets for free - do prepare some in case some people need them.
People usually choose to go to water parks on clear sunny days, which means that they are easy to get sun burnt, or even get heatstroke. Most of the water parks are open areas with little shelter or few buildings to block the sun, so it can be dangerous for people who have fair and sensitive (敏感的) skin to spend a whole day there. Be sure to wear a hat and a shirt with sleeves over your bathing suit while you are walking around.
In rare cases, water park guests may be subjected to polluted water. Some illnesses are easily spread in such situation. The most common cause of water pollution is small children who are not old enough to go to the toilet. Water parks have been trying their best to avoid the spread of diseases. However, pollution is still possible. Guests can protect themselves by trying not to swallow any water and washing their hands after playing with shallow and still water.

11.G 12.H 13.I 14.A 15.J 16.K 17.C 18.E 19.B 20.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今为了适应年轻一代被智能手机分心的影响,老师们也在学着改进自己的教学方式。文章列举了教师们所采取的一些方法和作者对此的看法。
11.考查形容词。句意:他们发现,要求学生阅读复杂或长文本而没有定期休息尤其令人疲惫。分析句子结构可知,此处需要形容词做定语,修饰空后的breaks,此处表达“定期的休息”之意,regular“定期的”符合题意。故选G项。
12.考查动词。句意:智能手机显然已经影响了年轻一代,但数字原生学生的教育应该如何发展,并不是他们获得认证时所涉及的内容。分析句子结构可知,此处需要动词作谓语,位于情态动词should后面,用动词原形,此处表达“如何发展”之意,evolve“发展”符合题意。故选H项。
13.考查动词。句意:智能手机显然已经影响了年轻一代,但数字原生学生的教育应该如何发展,并不是他们获得认证时所包括的内容。分析句子结构可知,此处需要动词作谓语,表达“被包括”之意,空前已有be动词was,所以covered“包括”符合题意,与be动词构成一般过去时的被动语态。故选I项。
14.考查动词。当学生们似乎无法集中注意力听长课时,许多老师就简单地把课程分成小块。分析句子结构可知,此处需要动词做谓语,表达“简单地把课程分成小块”之意,chop sth. into 为固定搭配意为“把某物切成……”符合题意。故选A项。
15.考查动词。事实上,一旦老师介绍了一个话题,学生在继续学习之前需要时间来参与。分析句子结构可知,空前的to是不定式标志,所以空处应填动词原形,此处表达“需要时间来参与”之意,engage“使参加”符合题意。故选J项。

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail (欧洲旅游火车通票) holiday. My body couldn’t take any more punishment. My mind couldn’t deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.
“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you’ve learnt to sleep in the passage of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.
Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack (背包) makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand.
Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty social. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too attractive, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.
We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared passage floors, food and water, money and music.
The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.
36.What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3?
A.Worrying about your clothes. B.Throwing unwanted things away.
C.Behaving in an anti-social way. D.Looking after your possessions.
37.Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?
A.To get to one place cheaply. B.To meet other young people.
C.To see a lot of famous places. D.To go on a tour of Europe.
38.What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that_____.
A.he could see more interesting places B.he could spend more time sightseeing
C.he could stay away from home longer D.he could make his own decisions
39.What does “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.A name. B.The city. C.The train. D.The station.
【答案】36.B 37.A 38.D 39.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过国际铁路旅行的经历及其感受。
36.词句猜测题。由第三段中的“Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack (背包) makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. (把你所有的东西都背在背包里,这让你有了一个非常基本的旅行方式,并鼓励难以置信的浪费可能会导致你想烧掉的那些已经变得太反社会的袜子,并在读完书后扔掉书。另一方面,this way of looking at life完全符合国际铁路的精神,因为常识和推理可以与平装书和袜子一起被抛到窗外)”可知,作者通过国际铁路旅行,可以忽视常识和推理,把看过的书和臭袜子等一起扔出窗外,可得出“this way of looking at life”指的是“扔掉不需要的东西”。故选B项。
37.细节理解题。由第四段中的“On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. (在第一次旅行中,我和我的朋友一开始并不知道这种火车票的可能性,认为这只是一种往返于我们选择的法国南部营地的廉价方式)”可知,作者最初购买国际火车票是因为这种交通方式可以让人便宜到达一个地方。故选A项。
38.细节理解题。由第五段中的“But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most available sights. (但这是第一个没有父母的假期,就像大多数其他国际旅行者一样,在安排我们自己的时间表时,我们忽略了除了最常见的景点之外的一切)”可知,作者喜欢没有父母的旅行是因为作者可以自己做决定,安排自己的时间表。故选D项。
39.词句猜测题。由第六段中的“It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time. (就好像你到达的城市从未真正存在过,直到火车进站,你才能够第一次用疲惫的眼睛看到it)”可知,该句关键词是城市,可得出it指代上文的“城市(The city)”。故选B项。

C
In the past years the popularity of rock climbing has greatly increased, and so has the number of injuries. It has been estimated that rock climbing is now enjoyed by more than 9 million people in the US each year. Study findings revealed a 65 percent increase in the number of patients that were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 2001 and 2021.
The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 2001 and 2021. The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent). Climbers in the study ranged in age from 2 to 74, with an average age of 26. The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.
Falls were the primary reason for injury with over three-quarters of the injuries occurring as the result of a fall. The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.
“We found that the climbers who fell from heights higher than 20 feet took up 70 percent of the patients treated for a rock climbing-related injury,” explained the study author Lara McKenzie, PhD, director at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Hospital. “This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries, demonstrates the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers.”
44.Which body part is most likely to get injured for a climber?
A.The arm. B.The ankle. C.The knee. D.The hand.
45.How many women climbers in America got injured while climbing a rock between 2001 and 2021?
A.About 40, 000. B.About 30, 000.
C.About 20, 000. D.About 10, 000.
46.The severity of climbers’ fall-related injures is mainly related to ________.
A.the height of the fall B.the climber’s age
C.the climber’s health conditions D.the climber’s climbing experience
47.The underlined word “demonstrates” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.demands B.prevents C.proves D.describes
【答案】44.B 45.D 46.A 47.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了攀登作为一项流行的运动带来健康的同时也造成了身体伤害,有骨折、扭伤、摔倒,在这些原因中,摔倒是一大主要原因,研究显示:从20英尺摔倒的人比从20及以下的人更容易受伤。
44.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The most common types of rock climbing-related injuries were fractures (骨折) and sprains (扭伤). The ankle was the most common body part to be injured (40 percent).(最常见的攀岩相关损伤类型是骨折和扭伤。脚踝是最常受伤的身体部位(40%))”可知,脚踝是攀登者最常受伤的身体部位,故选B。
45.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study, published in the online issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that about 40,000 patients were treated in US emergency departments for rock climbing-related injuries between 2001 and 2021.(这项发表在《美国预防医学杂志》网络版上的研究发现,2001年至2021年期间,约有4万名患者在美国急诊科接受了攀岩相关伤害的治疗)”和“The study also found that women took up a quarter of the injuries.(研究还发现,女性占所有受伤人数的四分之一)”可知,2001年至2021年期间,约有4万名患者在美国急诊科接受了攀登相关伤害的治疗,其中四分之一是女性,即约10000名。故选D。
46.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The severity of fall-related injuries had a lot to do with the height of the fall. Patients who were injured after falling from a height over 20 feet were 10 times more likely to be treated than patients who were injured falling from 20 feet or lower.(与坠落有关的伤害的严重程度与坠落的高度有很大关系。从20英尺以上的高度坠落受伤的患者接受治疗的可能性是从20英尺或更低高度坠落受伤患者的10倍)”可知,登山者受伤的严重程度主要是与他们坠落的高度有关,故选A。
47.词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“This trend, combined with the fact that rock climbers have a higher hospitalization rate than other sports and recreational injuries(这一趋势,再加上攀岩者比其他运动和娱乐伤害有更高的住院率)”以及后文“the need to increase injury prevention efforts for climbers(有必要加强对攀登者的伤害预防工作)”可知,攀岩者比其他体育运动的人有较高的住院率,这表明需要展开对攀登者的伤害预防工作。demonstrates意为“表明,证明”,故选C。

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Lego in China
Engineers gather around a table-sized model of the China Art Museum, a landmark of Shanghai, adding airports for helicopters, car parks and other improvements with colorful bricks. 48 Li Yang, visiting for a few days from Shenzhen, has been waiting for her daughter for two hours. Zhu Yunfei, watching his son, marvels at the variety: “Coming here to play with him is making up for my childhood,” he says. They drop by every week.
Lego’s rise in China has been shiningly attractive. In 2017 it overlook Alpha Group, a local giant, to become the country’s leading toy company (not including video games). In the past two years it has opened 89 stores and wants 50 more by December, which will bring it to 30 cities. Its first Chinese factory started making bricks in 2016. The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm’s Chinese section has won “very strong double digits(两位数)”, says Paul Huang, its boss.
49 In 2017 Lego cut 1,400 jobs and recorded its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each. Lego has thus retained its status as the world’s biggest toy-maker, snatched from Mattel in 2014 - even as its American rival last year earned its highest revenues in five years from its Barbie dolls.
Newly wealthy parents in China have helped Lego recover. “We have not reached the extreme out there, by far,” says Niels Christiansen, whom Lego brought in as chief executive two years ago. 50 Last year 98% of those surveyed by Lego said that play was essential for their child’s well-being, even more than Americans and Danes.
Lego has also sensibly managed to meet the demands of local tastes. 51 Fans were delighted at the attention to cultural detail. One was a Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner kit, with tiny red envelopes and chunlian, lucky couplets on banners pasted around doorways. A dragon boat race set included a sticky-rice dumpling, a popular festival snack. The high-quality kits are pricey, costing up to 700 yuan ($100) a piece.
A.It has done so even though the brick-maker’s global business has looked shakier.
B.It has been sold in great volumes with various kinds of sets and earned the fame as the most suitable toys for children to play with.
C.Removing a child from Lego’s vast shop near People’s Square can be like unsticking two stubborn bits of Lego.
D.Over the past decades, Lego’s sales volume in China is not as satisfying as it expected.
E.As in the West, the educational merits of bricks appeal to Chinese parents.
F.This year the firm launched several sets specifically for China, the first time it has done so for any country.

IV. Summary Writing (10分)
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible.
A trip to a water park can be a fun adventure for families, couples or a group of friends. Whether you prefer relaxing in a tube on a lazy river or riding a water roller coaster, a trip to one of the nation's water parks offers something exciting to everyone. However, the fun does not come without risks. People who plan to go to a water park should be careful enough and follow rules to avoid these risks.
Drowning (溺水) is one of the greatest dangers in water parks, especially for young children. The ability to swim is the most important skill in a water park. Before you go to a water park, make sure that all the people in your group know how to swim well. Do not swim in water that does not have a lifeguard on the scene. Many parks provide life jackets for free - do prepare some in case some people need them.
People usually choose to go to water parks on clear sunny days, which means that they are easy to get sun burnt, or even get heatstroke. Most of the water parks are open areas with little shelter or few buildings to block the sun, so it can be dangerous for people who have fair and sensitive (敏感的) skin to spend a whole day there. Be sure to wear a hat and a shirt with sleeves over your bathing suit while you are walking around.
In rare cases, water park guests may be subjected to polluted water. Some illnesses are easily spread in such situation. The most common cause of water pollution is small children who are not old enough to go to the toilet. Water parks have been trying their best to avoid the spread of diseases. However, pollution is still possible. Guests can protect themselves by trying not to swallow any water and washing their hands after playing with shallow and still water.

V. Translation (15分)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
53.从长远来看,回收包装对环境有积极的影响。(impact)
【答案】Recycling packaging has a positive impact on the environment in the long run.
【详解】考查名词和固定短语等。分析汉语句意可知,表示“从长远来看”可用固定短语in the long run;表示“回收包装”可用recycle packaging;表示“对环境有积极影响”可用短语have a positive impact on the environment。整个句子可以recycle packaging作为主语,故需用动名词形式,主语为单数,谓语也应用单数形式,此处是在陈述一般事实,用一般现在时即可。故翻译为Recycling packaging has a positive impact on the environment in the long run.。
54.背诵单词,切莫苛求数量和频率,持之以恒方能见效。(a difference)
【答案】During reciting words, do not demand quantity and frequency and perseverance can make a difference.
【详解】考查固定短语。分析句子,句子表述的是客观事实,故使用一般现在时。表示“背诵单词时”用during reciting words;表示“不要苛求数量和频率”用do not demand quantity and frequency ,此处为祈使句的否定结构;表示“持之以恒”用perseverance;表示“起到作用,见效果”用make a difference,前后两句构成并列关系,使用and连接。故翻译为:During reciting words, do not demand quantity and frequency and perseverance can make a difference。
55.你能否得到一份工作一定程度上取决于你在面试中的表现。(determine)
【答案】Your performance in the interview will partly determine whether you will get the job or not.
【详解】考查名词,时态和宾语从句。句子可理解为“你在面试中的表现将在一定程度上决定你是否能得到这份工作”,根据句意可知,句子时态用一般将来时,“你在面试中的表现”是your performance in the interview,“将在一定程度上决定”是will partly determine,“你是否能得到这份工作”用whether引导的宾语从句,翻译为whether you will get the job or not。故答案为Your performance in the interview will partly determine whether you will get the job or not.
56.尽管存在一些缺点,但网上外卖服务对那些住得离超市很远的人来说非常有用。(despite)
【答案】Despite some drawbacks, online delivery services can be very useful for those who live far from a supermarket.
【详解】考查介词、短语和定语从句。介词despite表示“尽管”之意,后接名词或动名词形式。online delivery service网上外卖服务;be useful for对……有用;far from远离。句中先行词为those,代指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导。根据句意,故翻译为Despite some drawbacks, online delivery services can be very useful for those who live far from a supermarket.

Dear Amy,
I’ve noticed your interest in the “Success” themed English speech competition, and I’m excited for you! It’s natural to feel anxious, especially when you’re stepping out of your comfort zone.
Your concern about content preparation is valid. To tackle this, you could start by brainstorming topics that resonate with you personally. Reflect on your own experiences or research success stories that inspire you. This will not only make your speech authentic but also engaging for your audience.
As for your spoken English, it’s important to remember that confidence comes with practice. Begin by writing your speech and then rehearse it aloud. This will help you become more fluent and comfortable with the language. Additionally, try to immerse yourself in English by listening to podcasts or watching English-language shows. This exposure will improve your pronunciation and comprehension.
Remember, the competition is as much about your message as it is about your language skills. Focus on delivering your thoughts with clarity and conviction. Confidence in your ideas will overshadow any linguistic imperfections.
Believe in your potential and embrace the opportunity to grow. You have the ability to inspire and be inspired. Good luck, and I’m looking forward to hearing your speech.
Best regards,
