It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done,” she said, “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up. 4. What do you think of Tom before the big night? A. He was sorry about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He was devoted to the coming play. D. He was sure about the play’s success. 5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance? A. Relaxed. B. Puzzled. C. Hopeful. D. Regretful. 6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end? A. He thought he had done a good job. B. He had accepted his own imperfection. C. He respected his teacher very much. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 7. What point does the author want to express in the text? A. Your mistakes can help you better yourself. B. There is no need to prepare carefully ahead. C. It’s no use regretting what you had mistaken. D. It is better to do once than to practice ten times. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了汤姆第一次参加学校戏剧表演的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came.(然而，他努力完善台词，按照戏剧老师的建议，在镜子前一遍又一遍地重复。他和高年级学生一起排练，很开心。最后，重要的夜晚来了)”可知，重要的夜晚到来之前，汤姆全身心投入即将到来的戏剧表演，努力练习台词。故选C项。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made.(当他走下舞台时，他的手汗流浃背，心跳加速。他没有想到自己取得了什么成就。相反，他为自己犯的错误而自责)”可知，汤姆表演结束后感到后悔，为自己犯的错误而自责。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Well done,’ she said, ‘Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.’(‘干得好，’她说，‘表演就像学习骑自行车。你可能会摔几次，但每次你重新骑上去，你都会骑得更好。你的表演可能并不完美，但对你来说，这是第一次，已经很好了’)”和最后一段中“The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up.(戏剧老师的话让汤姆放下心来。他在镜子里看到了自己的脸，那张脸正对着他笑。不知不觉地，他举起双手，竖起大拇指)”可推知，戏剧老师的鼓励让汤姆感到轻松，他看到镜子里的自己在笑，于是不知不觉地举起了双手，竖起了大拇指，这表明他接受了自己的不完美，对自己的表演感到满意。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是倒数第二段中老师的鼓励“‘Well done,’ she said, ‘Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.’(‘干得好，’她说，‘表演就像学习骑自行车。你可能会摔几次，但每次你重新骑上去，你都会骑得更好。你的表演可能并不完美，但对你来说，这是第一次，已经很好了’)”可知，作者通过讲述汤姆第一次参加学校戏剧表演的经历，表达了“错误可以帮助你提高自己”这一观点。故选A项。 C Young children often benefit from the structure and routine of a traditional classroom setting. On the other hand, older students may find that they learn better when given the freedom to explore material at their own pace (节奏). In order to provide the full benefit of online learning, educators must be aware of the needs of their students and therefore tailor their instruction. As anyone who has tried to learn from videos knows, it can be difficult to search, obtain, and sum up important information. In response to this, Hari Subramonyam, a research professor, and his two colleagues, have developed a new app called VideoSticker which uses artificial intelligence (AI). The app uses AI to automatically identify and arrange objects out of video lessons and place them into a note-taking area. In addition to capturing (捕捉) images, VideoSticker also pulls in key text, joining it with the imagery. This way, students can easily process images and text and add those elements in their own explanations. As a result, the app turns the passive experience of watching a video into an active one with lots of enthusiasm (热情) and determination, which helps students to better read the material and remember the information. The test of VideoSticker’s effectiveness was conducted with 10 graduate and undergraduate students. During the test, the students completed a 75 to 90-minute note-taking part of a biology class. The researchers reported positive response from participants, with particular praise to VideoSticker’s flexibility in directivity between notes and video content. Next up, the team will partner with other educators to further evaluate and improve VideoSticker before making the tool fully available commercially. With more and more people turning to videos for educational content, apps like VideoSticker could help to make the learning process easier and more efficient. Other education-based innovations we have spotted recently include an app that lets students upload maths problems through their phones, as well as a platform for students with learning differences and a tool that identifies struggling readers sooner. 8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word tailor in Paragraph 1? A. expand B. satisfy C. assess D. adapt 9. How do students feel when learning on VideoSticker? A. Energetic and determined. B. Thoughtful and focused. C. Helpful and encouraged. D. Confident and dependent. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. More maths problems can be uploaded. B. More education innovation takes shape. C. More practice bases are to be developed. D. More people tend to make education videos. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. An available method makes students better study efficiency. B. A piece of important education information benefits students. C. An AI tool makes it easy for students to take notes from videos. D. An advanced app makes students interact well with the teachers. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为VideoSticker的应用程序，该程序使用人工智能从视频课程中自动识别和整理对象，帮助学生更好地从视频中记笔记，提高学习效率。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In order to provide the full benefit of online learning, educators must be aware of the needs of their students and therefore tailor their instruction. (为了提供网络学习的全部好处，教育工作者必须了解他们的学生的需求，并据此tailor他们的教学)”中“therefore”可知，前后句为因果关系，结合“educators must be aware of the needs of their students”可推知，教育工作者必须了解学生的需求，并据此“调整”他们的教学。划线词tailor与adapt同义，意为“调整”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In addition to capturing (捕捉) images, VideoSticker also pulls in key text, joining it with the imagery. This way, students can easily process images and text and add those elements in their own explanations. As a result, the app turns the passive experience of watching a video into an active one with lots of enthusiasm and determination (除了捕捉图像外，VideoSticker还可以提取关键文本，将其与图像连接起来。这样，学生可以很容易地处理图像和文本，并在自己的解释中添加这些元素。因此，该应用程序将观看视频的被动体验转变为充满热情和决心的主动体验)”可知，学生使用VideoSticker学习时会感到精力充沛，有决心，即“energetic and determined”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With more and more people turning to videos for educational content, apps like VideoSticker could help to make the learning process easier and more efficient. Other education-based innovations we have spotted recently include an app that lets students upload maths problems through their phones, as well as a platform for students with learning differences and a tool that identifies struggling readers sooner. (随着越来越多的人转向视频获取教育内容，像VideoSticker这样的应用程序可以帮助使学习过程变得更容易和高效。我们最近发现的其他基于教育的创新包括一个应用程序，可以让学生通过手机上传数学问题，以及一个有学习差异的学生的平台和一个能更快识别阅读困难者的工具)”可推知，最后一段提到了除VideoSticker之外的其他教育创新，我们可以从这些内容中推断出“更多的教育创新正在形成”。故选B项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一款名为VideoSticker的应用程序，根据第三段“The app uses AI to automatically identify and arrange objects out of video lessons and place them into a note-taking area.(该应用程序使用人工智能自动从视频课程中识别和整理对象，并将它们放入笔记区域)”可知，该程序可以帮助学生更好地从视频中记笔记，提高学习效率。由此可知，文章主要介绍了一款人工智能工具，可以帮助学生从视频中轻松记笔记。故选C项。 D Before the Internet age, critical thinking was the most important skill of people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring. As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose (使接触) us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are not customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure to raise information. According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which includes removing low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight. Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first! The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, news agencies, which are trustworthy. The last is: “never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victims (受害者) to those who try to control our attention, time and minds. 12. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2? A. It offers more information. B. It features depressing stories. C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click. 13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3? A. To discuss the quality of information. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food. C. To show the importance of environments. D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower. 14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text? A. Turn a deaf ear to them. B. Review their intention. C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Importance of critical thinking in online search. B. Skills to practice critical ignoring in the digital age. C. Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy. D. Strategies to improve critical thinking for Internet users. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在数字时代，由于信息过载和注意力经济，批判性思维不再是唯一重要的技能，而更为关键的是“批判性忽视”的技能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.(正如研究人员指出的那样，我们生活在一个注意力经济中，互联网上的内容生产者在争夺我们的注意力。他们用大量的情感和引人注目的故事来吸引我们，而提供的有用信息却很少，所以他们可以让我们接触到盈利的广告。因此，我们不再是客户而是产品，我们点击的每一个链接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力)”可知，注意力经济可以让我们接触到盈利性广告，并从每次点击中寻求利润。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题，根据第三段中“Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight. Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first!(同样，我们需要建立一个数字环境，让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线。就像节食一样，如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的“新闻”，他肯定会失败。所以，最好一开始就把它们放在视线之外)”可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境，以此来表明环境的重要性。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention,(喷子是一些在网上传播虚假信息以造成伤害的人，不要纠正他们，因为他们不关心信息是否正确。惹恼别人是他们的目标。所以，永远不要用我们的注意力来回应他们的不良行为)”可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring.(但在数字时代，著名心理学家Anastasia Kozyreva认为，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是“批判性忽视”)”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies.(Kozyreva认为，“批判性忽视”包括三种策略)”可知，本文主要讨论了在数字时代练习批判性忽视的技能。故选B项。 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。 Growing a garden is great fun.

Think carefully about the space available”相呼应。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“Plants need soil, sunshine, and water.(植物需要土壤、阳光和水)”说明植物生存的基本条件，B选项“They are in great need of care as well.(它们也非常需要照顾)”承接上文，进一步强调除了基本条件外，植物还需要精心的照顾，同时引出下文“If you are planting a garden in a corner of your yard, choose a spot that gets lots of morning sun. If you live in an apartment, you might decide to place your container garden on a sunny spot on your balcony or windowsill.(如果你要在院子的一角种植花园，选择一个早晨阳光充足的地方。如果你住在公寓里，你可能要决定把你的容器花园放在阳台或窗台上的阳光充足的地方)”对植物精心照顾举例说明。故选B项。 【18题详解】 上文“Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant.(一旦你确定了花园的大小，你就可以选择种植什么了)”提出要选择种植什么，D选项“Decide whether you want flowers, vegetables, or both.(决定你要花、蔬菜，还是两者都要)”承接上文，举例说明可以种植的植物，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant.(一旦你确定了花园的大小，你就可以选择种植什么了)”和“When choosing plants, consider the size and location of your garden and how much sun it will get.

Li Ping, a full-time housewife, sat sadly on the sofa, tears in eyes. She looked slim and beautiful with long hair down her shoulders. Her husband, Wang Gang, did a low-income job. The couple were living a simple life. Wang Gang had a gold watch without a chain, though! Hoping to buy him a festival gift, she started to save money several months ago. But she had just saved 7 yuan! Standing in front of a mirror, she touched her hair, black hair falling down shoulders. She left directly for a barbershop, where the boss was doing the cleaning. “Excuse me, will you buy my hair?” “Yes.” The boss looked up. “How much does my hair cost?” “Up to 200 yuan.” said the boss. “All right.” The boss soon cut Li Ping’s long hair. She took the money and left the barbershop. She searched in one store after another. She got it in a watch shop. It was a gold chain, just worth the watch. They charged 180 yuan, and she paid and hurried home with the remaining 27 yuan. Back home, She looked in the mirror for her short hair and felt a bit sad. A moment later, she became happy again. Next, she hurried into the kitchen and began to prepare the dinner. Nearly seven o’clock, the dinner was ready. Li Ping, holding the gold chain in her hand, sat nervously on a chair near the door. Then she heard footsteps on the stairs. The door opened, and Wang Gang came in, looking tired. Suddenly, he stood still, staring at her. There was an expression in his eyes that she could not read, which scared her! It was not anger, not surprise, not fear, not any emotion she was ready for. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 “Don’t watch me like that!” She walked toward him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 It was a beautiful hat she admired for months in the shop window! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Don’t watch me like that!” She walked toward him, trying to break the silence. “I have a surprise for you!” With trembling hands, she revealed the gold chain she had bought for his watch. Wang Gang’s expression softened as he stepped closer, his tired eyes now filled with warmth. “You did this for me?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “I wanted to give you something special for the Qiqiao Festival,” she replied, her heart racing. “But... your hair,” he said, glancing at her short locks. “I can’t believe you sold it just to buy me this.” Tears welled up in her eyes again, but this time they were tears of joy. “It’s just hair, my love. You’re what matters most to me.” It was a beautiful hat she admired for months in the shop window! Wang Gang reached into his bag and pulled out a small box, a smile breaking across his face. “I have something for you too,” he said, his voice filled with excitement. As he opened the box, Li Ping gasped in delight. Inside was the hat she had been dreaming of, a lovely wide-brimmed creation adorned with flowers. “I saved up for it,” he explained, his eyes sparkling. “I wanted you to have something nice too.” Li Ping’s heart swelled with love and gratitude. They hugged tightly, realizing that their simple life was rich with love and understanding, more precious than any material gift. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了李萍作为一个全职主妇，尽管生活简朴，但仍然希望在七夕节给她的丈夫王刚送上一份特别的礼物。为了这个目标，她开始存钱，但几个月下来只存了7元。在节日前一天，她决定剪掉自己心爱的长发，用卖来的钱加上之前存的钱去购买了一条与丈夫金表相配的金链。当王刚回家看到她的短发和手中的金链时，他的反应复杂而难以捉摸，这让李萍感到既紧张又期待。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““别那样盯着我看！”她朝他走去，试图打破沉默。”可知，第一段可描写李萍送出手表链子的过程以及王刚的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那顶帽子她一直在商店橱窗里欣赏了几个月！”可知，第二段可描写王刚送给李萍礼物以及感悟。 2.续写线索：李萍送出礼物——王刚的反应——王刚送出礼物——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②想要做某事：want to do sth/would like to do sth. ③拥抱：hug/embrace ④意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①颤抖的：trembling/shaking ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Inside was the hat she had been dreaming of, a lovely wide-brimmed creation adorned with flowers.（运用了完全倒装，省略了that的定语从句） [高分句型2] They hugged tightly, realizing that their simple life was rich with love and understanding, more precious than any material gift.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 中牟县2024—2025学年上学期期中考试 高中二年级 英语试题 亲爱的同学们，漫长而惬意暑假过去三个月了。通过这一段的晨读夜练，你的英语水平一定有了长足的进步和迅猛的提高了吧！相信在惬意的国庆长假后，你一定找到了学习的快乐！快带上“信心、细心、专心”这三位好朋友，开始我们的“开心考一考”之旅吧！么么哒！ 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。第Ⅰ卷包括第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节，第Ⅱ卷包括第三部分的第二节和第四部分。考试时间120分钟，满分150分（听力成绩暂不计入总分）。考生应首先阅读答题卡上的文字信息，然后在答题卡上作答，在试卷上作答无效。交卷时只交答题卡。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done,” she said, “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up. 4. What do you think of Tom before the big night? A. He was sorry about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He was devoted to the coming play. D. He was sure about the play’s success. 5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance? A. Relaxed. B. Puzzled. C. Hopeful. D. Regretful. 6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end? A. He thought he had done a good job. B. He had accepted his own imperfection. C. He respected his teacher very much. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 7. What point does the author want to express in the text? A. Your mistakes can help you better yourself. B. There is no need to prepare carefully ahead. C. It’s no use regretting what you had mistaken. D. It is better to do once than to practice ten times. C Young children often benefit from the structure and routine of a traditional classroom setting. On the other hand, older students may find that they learn better when given the freedom to explore material at their own pace (节奏). In order to provide the full benefit of online learning, educators must be aware of the needs of their students and therefore tailor their instruction. As anyone who has tried to learn from videos knows, it can be difficult to search, obtain, and sum up important information. In response to this, Hari Subramonyam, a research professor, and his two colleagues, have developed a new app called VideoSticker which uses artificial intelligence (AI). The app uses AI to automatically identify and arrange objects out of video lessons and place them into a note-taking area. In addition to capturing (捕捉) images, VideoSticker also pulls in key text, joining it with the imagery. This way, students can easily process images and text and add those elements in their own explanations. As a result, the app turns the passive experience of watching a video into an active one with lots of enthusiasm (热情) and determination, which helps students to better read the material and remember the information. The test of VideoSticker’s effectiveness was conducted with 10 graduate and undergraduate students. During the test, the students completed a 75 to 90-minute note-taking part of a biology class. The researchers reported positive response from participants, with particular praise to VideoSticker’s flexibility in directivity between notes and video content. Next up, the team will partner with other educators to further evaluate and improve VideoSticker before making the tool fully available commercially. With more and more people turning to videos for educational content, apps like VideoSticker could help to make the learning process easier and more efficient. Other education-based innovations we have spotted recently include an app that lets students upload maths problems through their phones, as well as a platform for students with learning differences and a tool that identifies struggling readers sooner. 8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word tailor in Paragraph 1? A. expand B. satisfy C. assess D. adapt 9. How do students feel when learning on VideoSticker? A. Energetic and determined. B. Thoughtful and focused. C. Helpful and encouraged. D. Confident and dependent. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. More maths problems can be uploaded. B More education innovation takes shape. C. More practice bases are to be developed. D. More people tend to make education videos. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A An available method makes students better study efficiency. B. A piece of important education information benefits students. C. An AI tool makes it easy for students to take notes from videos. D. An advanced app makes students interact well with the teachers. D Before the Internet age, critical thinking was the most important skill of people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring. As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose (使接触) us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are not customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure to raise information. According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which includes removing low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight. Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first! The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, news agencies, which are trustworthy. The last is: “never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victims (受害者) to those who try to control our attention, time and minds. 12. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2? A. It offers more information. B. It features depressing stories. C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click. 13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3? A. To discuss the quality of information. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food. C. To show the importance of environments. D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower. 14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text? A. Turn a deaf ear to them. B. Review their intention. C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Importance of critical thinking in online search. B. Skills to practice critical ignoring in the digital age. C. Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy. D. Strategies to improve critical thinking for Internet users. 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。 Growing a garden is great fun.

Li Ping, a full-time housewife, sat sadly on the sofa, tears in eyes. She looked slim and beautiful with long hair down her shoulders. Her husband, Wang Gang, did a low-income job. The couple were living a simple life. Wang Gang had a gold watch without a chain, though! Hoping to buy him a festival gift, she started to save money several months ago. But she had just saved 7 yuan! Standing in front of a mirror, she touched her hair, black hair falling down shoulders. She left directly for a barbershop, where the boss was doing the cleaning. “Excuse me, will you buy my hair?” “Yes.” The boss looked up. “How much does my hair cost?” “Up to 200 yuan.” said the boss. “All right.” The boss soon cut Li Ping’s long hair. She took the money and left the barbershop. She searched in one store after another. She got it in a watch shop. It was a gold chain, just worth the watch. They charged 180 yuan, and she paid and hurried home with the remaining 27 yuan. Back home, She looked in the mirror for her short hair and felt a bit sad. A moment later, she became happy again. Next, she hurried into the kitchen and began to prepare the dinner. Nearly seven o’clock, the dinner was ready. Li Ping, holding the gold chain in her hand, sat nervously on a chair near the door. Then she heard footsteps on the stairs. The door opened, and Wang Gang came in, looking tired. Suddenly, he stood still, staring at her. There was an expression in his eyes that she could not read, which scared her!
