New for 2024 for on-campus students:Stories will be considered for publication in the Daily Free Press,one of the country's top college newspapers. Each option is organized into three parts: Classroom starts each day with a review of journalism fundamentals in a collegiate format.A university-level journalism textbook provides daily readings and writing assignments.Instructors cover story ideas,sources and research,interviewing,story structure,writing for broadcast and web,accuracy,and more. Newsroom provides time for students to apply what they learn in the Classroom part by reporting real news events near them.Students conduct interviews by phone, email and video to cover a wide range of stories. Guest Talks offer students advice and insight from journalism experts on topics such as radio reporting,media law and studying journalism in college.On-campus students also visit city newsrooms where they can hear directly from reporters at their workplaces,such as WBUR public radio and the Boston Globe. 21.What is required for on-campus students? A.A college education. B.An interest in photography. C.A story published by the press. D.Previous experience in journalism. 22.What does "Newsroom"focus on? A.Practical application. B.Strategies for interviews. C.Research about real news. D.Ways of communicating. 23.Which of the following can learn-from-home students do? A.Have their stories published. B.Study for three weeks.

B When my son was a toddler(学步儿童)，he liked to run in our driveway until he fell.He would then turn to me to see if he was hurt.If my face betrayed worry or if I 第3页共11页 3 audibly gasped(发声地吸气)，he would cry.If I maintained calmness,he would brush himself off and get back to running.Learning that I could so powerfully influence his mental state was a lesson. Years later,when he was in middle school,this lesson came back to me.One night while doing homework,my son told me about a classmate who had been unkind to him.My first instinct()was to rush to fix it.But instead of reacting,I paused. "That sounds hard.What did you do?" "I decided not to hang out with him for a while,"my son replied."I'm going to try playing soccer at lunch instead." "That's a great solution,"I said,and he went back to his homework. These otherwise ordinary parenting moments revealed an important truth: Sometimes,the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all. I've spent the past 30 years working in schools,and I've watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children.Too often,I watch parents overfunctioning.We're biologically designed to prevent our children's suffering,and it can be painful to watch them struggle.A parent's first instinct has led to pop-culture belief around pushy parenting styles,including the "Helicopter Parent,"who flies in to rescue a child in crisis,and the "Snowplow Parent,"who flattens any obstacle in their child's way.A young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene()on his behalf begins to believe that he's not capable of acting on his own,feeding both anxiety and dependence. I want to make a case for the Lighthouse Parent.A Lighthouse Parent stands as a steady,reliable guide,providing safety and clarity without controlling every aspect of their child's journey.Like a lighthouse that helps sailors avoid crashing into rocks, Lighthouse Parents provide firm boundaries and emotional support while allowing their children the freedom to face their own challenges. The key is learning when to step back and let them find their own way.One of the most important shifts that parents can make is learning to substitute our impulse to fix problems with the patience to listen.Listening is about allowing emotions to exist without rushing to solve a problem. Yes,parenting can be stressful.But when we trust our children to navigate their own course-with us as steady and supportive guides-we lighten our own load and empower them to thrive. 24.Why does the author mention two moments of his parenting experience? A.To introduce a good method of parenting. B.To show the good relationship with his son. C.To highlight the necessity of parents'company. 第4页共11页 4 D.To present different roles parents play in children's growth. 25.What is in common between"Helicopter Parent"and "Snowplow Parent"? A.They push their children forward in a strict way. B.They replace their children to remove difficulties C.They save their children from crisis as soon as possible. D.They watch their children closely in fear of any trouble 26.Which of the following is an act of a"Lighthouse Parent"? A.A mother allows her child to be free to make any decision. B.A mother helps her child do some extra work to ease the child's burden. C.A father e-mails the teacher frequently to learn about the child's school life D.A father listens to the son's complaints carefully before offering suggestions 27.Which word can replace the underlined word "navigate"in the last paragraph? A.follow B.change C.avoid D.challenge C Americans are faced with an"epidemic of loneliness,"according to the surgeon general and dozens of researchers.But according to a pair of new surveys,American loneliness is more complex than that.The typical American,it seems,texts a bunch of people "we should get together!"before watching TikTok alone on the couch and then passing out.That is,Americans have friends.We just never really see them. For a study published in July,Natalie Pennington,a communications protessor at Colorado State University,and her co-authors surveyed nearly 6,000 American adults about their friendships.The researchers found that Americans reported having an average of about four or five friends,which is similar to past estimates.Very few respondents--less than 4 percent--reported having no friends. Although most of the respondents were satisfied with the number of friends they had,more than 40 percent felt they were not as emotionally close to their friends as they'd like to be,and a similar number wished they had more time to spend with their friends.Americans feel "that longingness there,"as Pennington put it-"a struggle to figure out how to communicate and connect and make time for"friendship. This difficulty arises,in part,from a shortage of free time.In 2021,older Millennials(千禧一代)--those ages35to44,a group that's likely to have young kids-had 16 fewer minutes of leisure time each day than similarly aged adults did in 2003,according to Bloomberg's Justin Fox.They've reallocated those minutes to sleep,work,and child care. Because modern friendship requires so much active scheduling of individual friend-dates,people with more resources are now better able to maintain friendships than disadvantaged people.A survey of 6,500 American adults released last month by 第5页共11页 5 Cox and one of his colleagues found that college-educated Americans were more likely than those with a high-school degree to host friends and neighbors at their home at least once a month. Maitaining friendships in this atomized (new world might require lowering expectations.Instead,Goldfarb suggests getting closer to your friends by taking an interest in things they care about,and asking to hang out for small,specific amounts of time.If you're friends with a new parent,that is,don't invite them to a bar 30 minutes away.Ask if you can bring over fresh fruit and chat for 20 minutes."We need our friends to see us,"Goldfarb said."We need our friends to take all our roles into account." 28.What does "epidemic of loneliness"in paragraph 1 refer to? A.Fear of being alone. B.Irend of feeling lonely. C.Preference for being alone. D.Physical problems caused by loneliness. 29.What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about? A.People's choice of their friends B Doubt about American adults'friendships. C.Differences among various kinds of friendships. D Current situation of American adults'friendships. 30.According to the last three paragraphs.what can we conclude? A.People aged 35-44 have the fewest friends in life B.Adults usually have high expectations of their friends C.People with higher education tend to see their friends more. D.New parents should spend less time on child care to get more friends. 31.Which is the best title for the article? A.The Wonder of Friendship B.The Friendship Paradox C.The Longing for Friendship D.The Friendship Puzzle D In the early 1960s,when my parents were in high school,they received free sampler packs of cigarettes on their cafeteria trays.To the cigarette companies,it made sense:Where better to find new customers than at schools,whose studen's, being children,hadn't yet established brand loyalties?This is hard to accept in 2024. I believe that future generations will look back with the same disbelief at our acceptance of phones in schools.The research is clear:The dramatic rise in adolescent anxiety,depression,and suicide correlates closely with the widespread adoption of smartphones over the past 15 years.Although causation(因果关系)is debated,.asa school head for 14 years,I know what I have seen:Unlimited phone usage at school hurts our kids.It is time to remove phones from schools. 第6页共11页 6 At the entrance to our high school is an indoor public place we call the Forum. When making my rounds during the school day,I observe our students playing, reading,discussing and sharing pizzas on the Forum.It is a hive of activity-one visitor to our school described the atmosphere as having an "intellectual crackle (k 花)” That was a decade ago.I still make my rounds,and yes,many of the above activities still unfold in the Forum,but they are being crowded out by students looking at their phones.Watching phones take over the Forum brings to mind a beetle infestation(甲虫侵扰)in a forest.At first,just one or two trees show signs of damage.Then,the next thing you know,the forest is a less healthy,less vibrant place than it once was. I've watched students who struggle to make friends not learn how to,because they can withdraw into the short-term safety of their phones rather than tolerate the discomfort that often precedes finding one's way into a conversation.I've watched some of the spontaneity (that makes school fun decrease,because students are less tuned in to what's happening around them. I am not a Luddite(技术反对者)】believe in the ability of technology to enrich our lives.And yet I believe that those who are responsible for the well-being of children can no longer ignore the reality that phones in schoois are doing more harm than good-distracting students,isolating them,and creating unhealthy echo chambers(回音室)that weaken critical thinking. Let's reclaim our school spaces and ensure that our students learn not just from devices but from one another and the world around them.So much of the magic of childhood happens in unmediated community.We must not deprive our children of that gift. 32.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By presenting a similar case B.By quoting others'comments. C.By giving an opposite example. D.By describing his own experience. 33.What is the purpose of the account in paragraph 3? A.To propose effective measures. B.To form a striking contrast. C.To explain the functions of the Forum. D.To prove the power of collective intelligence. 34.In the author's opinion,what is the harm caused by using phones at school? A.It cuts off the students'social contact. 第7页共11页 7 B.It may affect the students'intelligence quality. C.It makes the students less informed of school activities. D.It encourages the students to be critical of school events. 35.What does the whole article mainly talk about? A.How does technology affect school life? B.Why should phones be banned at school? C.What caused the students depressed and distracted? D.What kind of school life is meaningful and colorful? 第二节七选五（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 We can all relate to being criticized and then feeling terrible.There is not a single one of us who derives pleasure from being criticized.36. Next time you are interacting with someone who is criticizing you,here are some reactions and actions to try. Stay calm.I know that your heart may be beating rapidly and your palms may become sweaty but you must breathe deeply and appear calm.Calmness,even if it does not come naturally or easily,always wins over agitation(心烦意乱）.37. Keep breathing deeply. Listen.Before you start responding,let the person finish saying what they need to say.38. Remain quiet until you finish listening.It is only when you have heard the person out that you can think about what they have said.Take a moment to prepare your response. Tell the person who has just eriticized you that you need time to think about what they have said.If the person delivering the criticism to you is important to you and you are not sure how to respond,then buy yourself some time.Tell them that you will get back to them because you need 24 hours to think about this.39. Don't we? 40. Perhaps the person who is delivering the feedback cares so deeply about you that they truly want you to be the best version of yourself.Keep in mind that there may be something good going on here and try to identify what that may be and see what you can learn. A.This gives you something to work with and think about. B.You will get to the next several steps only if you can achieve it. C.Figure out the purpose of criticism when you decide to respond. D.Think about whether there are any positive messages in the interaction E.This is very helpful because we often feel differently about interactions later on. 第8页共11页 8 n F But we can learn to deal with criticism effectively with the right attitude and strategy. G.If you don't,you will appear defensive and make the other person more annoyed. 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分55分） 第一节完型填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My family has collected bottles from sunup to sundown all year long.I often help my Mom pull the cart the six long blocks to the41center through the streets of Bushwick.Although this center has been like my second home for the past years,I have kept it mostly a secret.I couldn't 42 the idea of my friends knowing our family lived off other people's 43.I felt guilty for being 44,but I couldn't help it.Even though I had a lot of friends and was a social butterfly,I was not ready to talk about my family 45.

But educators wouldn't assign it if it didn't serve a good purpose.Teachers give several reasons for handing 57 at-home assignments,including developing students'critical thinking and assessing their skills and knowledge.Besides,parents often are supporters of homework.When schools and teachers have chosen not to assign homework,moms and dads grow 58 (concern)about their children's future and insist they bring homework back.They believe kids need homework to be prepared for the 59 (challenge)academic tests.
