As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers”, because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate. In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university's Writers' Workshop, however, she felt lonely — a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice”. “It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn't think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it！That's when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn't write about.” she said. Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty­nine. The book talks about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish­speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children's book and a short­story collection． 24. What can we know about Cisneros in her childhood? A. Her brothers disliked her． B. She felt herself a nobody． C She was too shy to go to school． D. She did not meet any good teachers． 25. The graduate writing program gave Cisneros a chance to ________. A. run away from her family. B. develop her writing style. C. make a lot of friends. D. search for a husband. 26. What was the key factor in Cisneros’ success? A. Her childhood experience. B. Her training in the Workshop. C. Her feeling of being different. D. Her early years in college. 27. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street? A. It enjoys great popularity among students. B. It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros. C. It wasn't a success as it was written in Spanish. D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty­nine. C The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily decreasing, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off. In response, major newspapers have made significant changes. They’re attempting to defeat declining reader interest by shortening stories, creating clickbait (诱饵性标题), and most especially, using social media to their advantage. With the rise of social media sites, many people have claimed that we are entering a new age in which news must be delivered in 140 characters or fewer. People’s ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed. To interest a more specific and generally younger readership, newspapers have revised content, prioritizing articles that are visually appealing instead of having depth. But, in reality, there is still a demand for in-depth reporting. In this era of misinformation and clickbait, readers are seeking reliable sources of news that provide context, analysis, and accountability. Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple views, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complex matters. While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment. 28. What problem does traditional news industry face? A. The decline of readership. B. The lack of long-form stories. C. The spread of unreliable information. D. The shortage of experienced journalists. 29. What does the underlined word “prioritizing” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．checking out B．cutting down C．paying no attention to D．attaching importance to 30. What do we know from paragraph 3? A．People’s need for in-depth reporting is decreasing. B．Social media has played a key role in promoting hidden facts. C．Clickbait greatly increases readers’ interests in exploring truths. D．In-depth reporting can improve comprehension of complex issues. 31. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．A focus on quick updates and popular topics. B．Preference for multiple perspectives and shorter articles. C．A balance between readers’ preferences and the quality of news. D．Importance of news sources and accuracy of contents. D About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content designed by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics. Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, time-ordered feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar. Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors. Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like composers and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, composers on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to catch the listener’s attention. Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption. In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world. 32．How have social media platforms changed in the past ten years? A．They show posts in a time-based order. B．They prioritize posts from friends and family. C．They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs. D．They provide more content to meet different needs. 33．What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations? A．They make users more active consumers. B．They shape users’ preferences and behaviors. C．They reduce the influence of content creators. D．They expose users to diverse and challenging content. 34．How do algorithms influence composers’ work on digital platforms? A．By encouraging composers to create longer songs. B．By discouraging composers from using catchy hooks. C．By giving composers more control and choice over their music. D．By requiring composers to create their work to fit the platforms. 35．What can be concluded from the text? A．Tech companies should have more departments. B．Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities. C．Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us. D．Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for years. 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。 Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important? It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 36 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development. 37 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define.

This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 39 . In therapy settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 40 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing. A．These are its major benefits. B．Children love to draw, sing, and dance. C．Art and human history go hand-in-hand D．How does it have an impact on our life? E．It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.

We sat around the dinner table enjoying a family dinner. My mother wore her usual flowered apron (围裙) and served the food, my father (at the head of the table) sat straight and upright and the two young boys (my brother and I ) playfully attended the evening ceremony. My father was a firm believer in table manners. He valued proper manners and eating habits very highly. His presence at the dinner table often made us feel slightly nervous. My brother and I, even at such a young age, had the feeling that we were being strictly observed. Elbows (肘部) were necessarily off the table. Chewing was done with our mouths closed. Proper body position was required. Naturally my younger brother and I were not All-Stars. My brother was no more than 3 years old and was extremely particular about eating. He was often the subject of family fights; his mysterious manner of rearranging vegetables around his plate instead of eating them placed my mother in an awkward middle ground. She was forced to choose sides between my picky little brother and my father. Matters came to a head one evening when I decided to play with my bread. There was a breadbasket full of soft buttery rolls and I decided to handle press, and stretch the bread under the table. My father observed this. "Foot on the table, Brian." he said in a serious and firm tone. A silence followed. Naturally, I had no idea what to do. Again came the voice. "Foot on the table." "That's not right," I thought. "This must be a test--- there's no way he would be asking me to put my foot up on the table." 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 "Foot on the table!" came his voice, ever louder and ever firmer. ___________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ "No, Brian.

It began with an inspiring speech given by the headmaster. Then came the exciting contest. All the participants made wonderful speeches with impressive Chinese stories, ranging from ancient stories, such as "The foolish old man who removed the mountains",to modern stories like "Everyone is remarkable". Afterwards, there was an award ceremony. Everyone thought highly of it, which not only offered us a chance to improve our English but also deepened our understanding of Chinese culture. 读后续写范文： "Foot on the table!" came his voice, ever louder and ever firmer. Feeling confused，I froze there，wondering what to do. As I saw it, putting one's foot on the table was possibly the most impolite thing a person could do. Not only was it bad but it was also in my mind one of the fullest and most thorough actions against all proper table manners! “Brian,this is the last time I'm gonna ask: Foot on the table!" I stared at the table silently, playing with the buttery roll and feeling the weight of my father's words. I had no choice left but to follow his orders. "No, Brian. FOOD on the table! FOOD!" After a moment of nervous silence, everyone burst into laughter as they saw I'd actually put my foot up on the table; my right leg and tiny foot awkwardly took their place among the knives, forks, spoons, plates, and dinner bowls. My father said he was sorry. I'm not sure if I laughed, cried,or maybe it was a combination of both. In any case ,it's a great family memory that we all look back on. Every time it was mentioned , we all couldn’t help laughing our heads off. 答案详解 A篇 【答案】21．B 22．B 23．D 21. B 解析: 细节题。根据原文：“With a focus on wildlife protection and habitat restoration, the foundation has helped establish numerous national parks and wildlife reserves.”文章中提到Sierra Club Foundation重点是野生动物保护和栖息地恢复，并帮助建立众多的国家公园和野生动物保护区。因此，答案是B. setting up national parks and wildlife reserves（建立国家公园和野生动物保护区）。因此选项B是正确的。 22. B 解析: 细节题。根据原文：“They use science, economics, and law to find environmental solutions that work with industry and government.”文章指出EDF使用科学、经济学和法律来寻找环境解决方案，所以选项B “By using science, economics, and law to find solutions” （通过使用科学、经济学和法律来找到解决方案）是正确答案。 23.

A [解题导语]　这是一篇记叙文。在文章中作者为我们讲述了一个害羞的小女孩是如何成长为一位知名作家的故事， 作者着重说明了她独特写作风格形成的原因。 24.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated into books.”可知， 她感到害羞和不重要， 就躲进了书堆里。由此可知， B选项的描述“她觉得自己是个无名小卒”符合文意。 25.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her ‘creative voice’.”可知， 这种与众不同的感觉帮助西斯内罗斯找到了她富有“创造性的声音”。由此推断出， 研究生课程给了Cisneros一个形成写作风格的机会。 26.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice.”可知， 直到这一刻， 当我认为自己真的与众不同时， 我的写作才有了声音。由此可知， 根据Cisneros的说法， 她成功的关键因素是她有了与众不同的感觉。 27.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level.”可知， 这本书在1985年获得了一个奖项， 从高中到研究生阶段都在使用。由此推断出， The House on Mango Street在学生中很受欢迎。 C篇 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．D 31．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体时代下的新闻业。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily declining, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off.(新闻行业经历了艰难的十年。纸质报纸的读者数量正在稳步下降，报纸正在关闭，拥有数十年经验的记者正在被解雇)”可知，传统新闻业面临的问题是读者群体数量下降。故选A项。 29．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“People’s ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed.(由于当今世界无休止的干扰和过多的信息，人们专注于长篇内容和深度阅读的能力也在下降。这种阅读习惯的改变导致人们更倾向于阅读短小易懂、易于消化的新闻)”可知，由于当今世界存在太多干扰以及信息过载，人们专注于长篇内容和深度阅读的能力也在下降。这种阅读习惯的改变导致人们更倾向于阅读短小易懂、可以快速消化的新闻。由此可推知，画线词所在句应表示为了吸引特定的、更年轻的读者，报纸修改了内容，“优先考虑”那些在视觉上吸引人的文章，而不是有深度的文章。故“Attaching importance to”表示“重视；着重于……”，符合语境，故选D项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple perspectives, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complicated matters.(深度报道探究根本原因，涉及多个角度，揭示塑造我们世界的隐藏真相，帮助读者更全面地了解复杂的事物)”可知，深度报道可以提高读者对复杂问题的理解。故选D项。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.(虽然社交媒体改变了我们读新闻的方式，但新闻的质量对公众来说仍然至关重要。对于新闻行业来说，在迎合不断变化的读者偏好和保持新闻的完整性之间取得平衡至关重要。这意味着提供快速更新和深入分析，并利用社交媒体推广他们的内容，但不以准确性或完整性为代价。通过这样做，新闻机构可以确保它们在迅速变化的媒体环境中保持相关性和可信赖的信息来源)”可知，作者强调新闻业应该在满足读者偏好和确保新闻的质量之间的平衡。故选C项。 D篇 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今社交媒体运用算法会根据用户的喜好进行相应的推送。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.”（大约十年前，登录Facebook、Twitter或Instagram，看到的大多是朋友和家人发布的帖子，顺序是先后的。如今，这些平台呈现的内容是多种多样的，通过算法进行定制，以匹配用户的兴趣，无论是植物、体育、猫还是政治）可知，社交媒体平台在过去的十年里会根据用户的需求进行调整。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.”（这种源源不断的推荐减少了我们接触多样化或具有挑战性的内容，微妙地塑造了我们的偏好和行为）可知，Kyle Chayka认为算法推荐塑造了用户的偏好和行为。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms.”（此外，Chayka还指出，算法还会迫使音乐家和艺术家等内容创作者调整自己的作品，以适应这些数字平台）可知，算法要求音乐家创作适合平台的作品。故选D项。 35．推理判断题。通读全文且根据第三段“This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.”（这种源源不断的推荐减少了我们接触多样化或具有挑战性的内容，微妙地塑造了我们的偏好和行为）可知，文章主要介绍了社交媒体运用算法会根据用户的喜好进行相应的推送，但推送的内容因为缺乏挑战和多样性，进而使我们的文化更加扁平化。故选C项。 七选五 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．C 39．G 40．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章向人们解释了艺术的重要性，并通过举例说明了艺术对于人的积极作用。艺术具有可以提高人的表达能力和创造力的作用，又可以帮助我们了解前人所处的时代，还可以帮助孩子调节情绪。 36．上文“It promotes expression and creativity.
