B Forget about the "post-1995 generation".Young people born in 1995 or later have another name in English-Gencration Z.They are entering adulthood and will soon shape our future,which is why policy makers,as well as employers and murketers, are trying their best to understand these young pcople.So,how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers? Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen-Z and other genorations is how connected they are.This is a group of people who were hooked up to sooial media as soon as they were born.Social media hus changed the way Gen Z-ers interact with each other and how they get and process information. They read news from Twitter,watch videos from Vine,share experiences in Instagram and post recipes in Pinterest. "We are the first true digital natives.I can almost simultancously create a document,edit it,post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone,all from the user-friendly iPhone,"said Hannah Payne,an 18-year-old UCLA student. It is noted that young people in the UK are becoming more active in Politics. Young people regard voting as one option among many to show their political engagement that can potentinlly influence policies.Instead of party politics,they focus more on single--topic issues such as feminism(女权主义)or climate change.. And "much of the engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather thun through truditional political structures,"according to the Guardians. Gen Z-ers are also culture creators.Growing up with the Internet has freed this generation from traditional cultural expression.They are no longer willing to let their creativity be limited by their parents or traditional rules."We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,"wrote Masback,a Huffington Post blogger and a Gen Z-er herself. 34.What does the underlined phrase"pin down"mean in Paragraph 1? A.Cooperate with. B.Firmly convince. C.Communicate with. D.Clearly understand. 35.What is specia)about the Gen Z-ers'engugement in politics? A.It's party-based. B.It stresses social response. C.It's topic-specific. D.It has an immediate effect. 36.What can be inferred about the Gen Z-ers? 5 北京审免三十五中竿2024-2025学年度易一学稀期中剥其秀二芡司 A.They are socially responsiblc B.They are more easy-going and generous. C.They are addicted to social media D.They are rooted in traditiona]culture. 37.What is the author's atitude towards Gen Z-ers? A.Worried.B.Ambiguous. C.Objective. D.Disapproving. C Removing Gender Bias Tailors worked out long ago that men and women have different shapes.Yet this message has failed to enter many other areas of design.Car seat belts,for example, which date back to the 1880s,are often still more suitable for men,who tend to sit farther back than women when driving.And today the most forward-looking tech companies on Earth are still placing old-school bias(偏见：成见)into new products. Consider smart phones.Most are too big to fit comfortably into the average woman's hand,as are many video-game controllers. An obvious part of the explanation for their design problem is that men control most of its companies-malc-run firms receive 82%of venture-capital (VC)funding. Male bosscs may be unaware of the problems women fuce.They may not flag up obvious areas of concer,or ask the right questions when doing their research for a new product design.And once an idea gets the green light,it will then be handled by product-design and engineering tcams,three-quarters of whose members are men. These teams often use data to make decisions,but mixing all users together means they may fail to spot trends based on sex differences.Dependence on historical data and the lack of data on underrepresented groups,can also create bias in algorithms( 法) Next comes testing.Naturally,designers test original models on their intended customers,but they may not get feedback from a broad enough group of people. There is also the risk of confirmation bias-designers may listen to what they want to hear,and ignore negative reactions from some groups of users. Tech's design bias needs fixing for moral,safety and business reasons.The ethical importance is obvious:it is wrong that women have to make do with a "one-size-fits-men"world,as Caroline Criado Perez,a writer,puts it As for safety, regulators can tackle that by banning things that are dangerous to women-including seat belts-because they are not designed properly. But there is also a powerful business case for avoiding design bias,because huge opportunities are being missed.Women are 50%of the population,and make 70- 80%of the world's consumer-spending decisions. Change is coming.The first voice-recognition systems struggled to understand 币示p邪三十五甲学2024-2025学年度第一学期阴中两试高二英语 female voices,but most now manage just fine."Femtech"start-up companies,which focus on women's health and well-being,may raise 1 billion by the end of this year. VC funds and tech firms are hiring more women.Ensuring that products are designed for everyone would lead to happier and safer customers.For the companies that get it right,that means higher profits.What is holding them back? 38.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means A.hits the market B.gets approval C.becomes successful D.comes into being 39.What is discussed in Paragraphs 2 and 3? A.Why tech's design bias needs to be fixed. B.How gender bias is affecting tech companies. C.Where gender bias in product design is rooted. D.Who is to blame for gender bias in tech companies. 40.We can learn from the passage that A.tech companies are unwilling to change B.design bias may result in missed opportunities C.male workers benefit more in engineering teams D.tech companies are incapable of making user-friendly products 41.How does the author feel about the future of bias-free product design? A.Uncertain. B.Sceptical C.Positive. D.Negative. D If you look across the entire lifespan,what you see is an average increase in desirable personality traits.Psychologists call this the "maturity principle"and it's comforting to know that,assuming your personality follows a typical course,then the older you get,the more mature you will become.However,it's not such good news for young adolescents,because at this point something known as the "disruption hypothesis"kicks in. Consider a study of Dutch teenagers who completed personality tests each year for six or seven years from 2005.The boys showed a temporary dip in conscientiousness-orderliness and self-discipline in early adolescence,and the girls showed a temporary increase in neuroticism-emotional instability.This seems to back up some of the stereotypes we have of messy teen bedrooms and mood swings. Thankfully,this decline in personality is short-lived,with the Dutch data showing that the teenagers'previous positive traits rebound()in later adolescence. Both parents and their teenage children agree that changes occur,but surprisingly, the perceived change can depend on who is measuring,according to a 2017 study of over 2,700 German teenagers.They rated their own personalities twice,at age 11 and 北京市第三十五中牛2024-20m5华年度第一孕期聊中测试商二英据 age 14,and their parents also rated their personalities at the same time.Some differences emerged:for instance,while the teenagers rated themselves as declining in agrceability,their parents saw this decline as much sharper.Also,the teens saw themselves as increasingly extroverted,but their parents saw them as increasingly introverted. This mismatch can perhaps be explained by the big changes underway in the parent-child relationship brought on by teenagers'growing desire for autonomy and privacy.The researchers point out that parents and teens might also be using different reference points-parents are measuring their teenagers'traits against a typical adult, while the teenagers are comparing their own traits against those displayed by their peers. This is in line with several further studies,which also reveal a patter of a temporary reduction in advantageous traits in early adolescence.The general picture of the teenage years as a temporary personality"disruption"therefore seems accurate. In fact,we're only just beginning to understand the complex mix of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to individual patterns of personality change. Studies also offer some clues for how we might create more nurturing environments for teenagers to aid their personality development.This is an approach worth pursuing further given that teenage personality traits are predictive of experiences in later life. For instance,one British study of over 4,000 teenagers showed that those who scored lower were twice as likely to be unemployed later in life,in comparison with those who scored higher. People focus so much on teaching teenagers facts and getting them to pass exams, but perhaps they ought to pay at least as much attention to helping nurture their personalities. 42.Which of the following can be an example of"disruption hypothesis"? A.A kindergarten kid cries over a toy. B.A boy in high school cleans his own room. C.A teenage girl feels sad for unknown reason. D.A college graduate feels stressed out by work. 43.According to the study of German teenagers, A.parents give their teens too much autonomy and privacy B.teens are more optimistic about their personality changes C.teens and parents have the same personality rating standard D.parents and teens can later agree on teens personality decline 44.We can infer from the last three paragraphs that A.teens should pay less attention to their scores in exams B.developing teens'personality has a long-term effect in their life 8 北京市第三十五中学2024-2025学年度第一学期期中测试高二英语 C.people's success in later life depends on teenage personality traits D.environmental factors outweigh genetic ones for personality change 45.What is the author's attitude towards present teenager personality education? A.Dissatisfied. B.Approving. C.Neutral. D.Cautious. 第二节（共5小愿：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (keep messages private.Banks,companies,and government agencies use secret codes in doing business,especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of yenrs.46 Code breaking never lags()far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography.47 For example,the first letters of"My elephant eats too many eels"Spell out the hidden message"Meet me." 48 You might represent each letter with a number,for example,Let's number the letters of the alphabet,in order,from I to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter,the message"Meet me"would read "13 5 20 13 5." A code uses symbols to replace words,phrases,or sentences.To read the message of a real code,you must have a code book.49 For example,"bridge"might stand for"meet"and"out"might stand for "me."The message "bridge out"would actually mean"Meet me."50 However,it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B.In any language,some letters are used more than others. C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D.As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them. E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F.With a code book,you might write down words that would stand for other words. G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 9 I1卷 第四题.语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给出提示词的空白从仅填写一个适 当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空， In a sports center51 (locate)at the heart of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa,a burst of shouts come out from trainees52(practice)Chinese martial arts.The trainees,aged from 7 to 65,practice the Chinese martial arts,kung fu and kickboxing at the Dave Dan Wushu and Kickboxing Training Center."Martial arts are not to harm other people but to teach respect,humanity,sincerity,self-defensc,and search for inner pence,"said master Dawit Terefe 53works as a coach in the training center. 8 Chinas achievements in space have snowballed in the last yenrs.In.June 2020, the final Beidou satellite was 54 (successful)launched,55 (provide)a network of satellites for global navigation akin to(相类似的)heUS-owned GPS and Europe's Galileo networks.The network is set56(bring)greater coveruge to the surrounding Asia region,which makes up roughly 50 percent of the worid's population,potentially57(benefit)billions of people. c Creativity is58(be)able to see what everybody else hus seen and think what nobody else has thought so that you can do what nobody else has done.
