With its expert-made curriculum, the program offers endless hours of content for children aged 2 to 8. The interactive app offers thousands of activities to help develop this essential skill, with lessons that expose students to math, arts, and science at age-appropriate levels too. The cost after free trial is around $15 per month. Families who purchase a full year’s subscription can get about 70% off the price. Homer Homer provides a personalized learning path for children aged 2 to 8. Children will learn reading, math, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way. Instead of a one-size-fits-most approach, Homer customizes learning plans and allows students to take the lead in deciding what they want to work on. The price point is in line with similar apps at about $5 per month after a free trial, or roughly $60 for a full year or $100 for lifetime access. Hooked on Phonics Hooked on Phonics is an exceptional tool for homeschoolers, with a wide range of lessons, games, and fun activities. It is one of the most popular brands for teaching kids to read, and its integrated system makes it an ideal option for homeschooling students. Children are introduced to each new concept through a series of fun activities, videos, and even songs. The system is a little bit pricier than other apps, at about $16 per month after a trial month for roughly $1. FarFaria FarFaria invites children to join in on a magic al adventure that includes island hopping and the choice between reading the story or having it narrated completely with fun, magical animation. While the free membership offers one story a day, paid subscribers unlock access to unlimited adventures at roughly $8 per month. Readers can either read the books themselves or take advantage of the “read to me” option to have stories read aloud by professional narrators. 1. For an annual subscription to ABCmouse, how much does a family need to pay? A. $54. B. $105. C. $126. D. $180. 2. Which app best suits children who are taught at home? A ABCmouse. B. Homer. C. Hooked on Phonics. D. FarFaria. 3. Which section of newspaper is this text probably taken from? A. Finance. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Education. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个学习软件：ABCmouse(开心鼠英语)，Homer(Homer学习软件)，Hooked on Phonics(美国自然拼读)以及FarFaria(FarFaria学习软件)，并对其各自特色和收费进行了详细说明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“ABCmouse”部分内容“The cost after free trial is around $15 per month. Families who purchase a full year’s subscription can get about 70% off the price.( 免费试用后的费用约为每月15美元。购买一整年订阅的家庭可以帮你节省原价的70%。)”可知，费用为每月15美元，一年应是“15*12=180”，同时全年订阅可以帮你节省原价的70%，即，按价格的3折计算，180*(1-70%)=54。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Hooked on Phonics”部分内容“It is one of the most popular brands for teaching kids to read, and its integrated system makes it an ideal option for homeschooling students.(它是教孩子阅读的最受欢迎的品牌之一，它的集成系统使它成为在家上学的学生的理想选择。)”可知，Hooked on Phonics平台是在家上学的学生的理想选择。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，“ABCmouse(开心鼠英语)”，“Homer(Homer学习软件)”，“Hooked on Phonics(美国自然拼读)”以及“FarFaria(FarFaria学习软件)”四个部分分别介绍了该平台的教育信息和收费方式，由此可推知，该篇文章来自于报纸上的教育专栏。故选D项。 B Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could. The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight. The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said. “She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range—while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.” By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia. 4. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph? A. To amuse the readers. B. To lead in the story behind. C. To summarize the main idea. D. To inform readers of a wonderful trip. 5. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4? A. They are optimistic about the children’s disease. B. They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas. C. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision. D. They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The details about the year-long journey. B. The changes of the kids physically and mentally. C. The keen anticipation of Mia about the future. D. The impression Mia had of what she had experienced. 7. Which is the best title of the story? A. Making the most of the vision. B. Seeing is believing. C. Man who travels far knows more. D. The eyes are the window to the soul. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mia一家为了制造回忆，在孩子们失明前进行为期一年的旅行的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.(12岁的米娅现在正和父母以及三个弟弟进行为期一年的旅行。远离他们在加拿大魁北克的家，这家人在蒙古骑马，在柬埔寨划皮艇，在纳米比亚露营，在土耳其乘坐热气球，希望能尽可能多地收集一生一次的回忆)”可知，第一段主要描述了米娅一家人的精彩旅行。结合第二段中“The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.(这些记忆真的很重要，因为除非科学很快取得突破，否则其中三个孩子很可能会在成年后失明。他们被诊断出患有一种疾病，这种疾病没有有效的治疗方法，也没有具体的时间表，因为它会逐渐夺走他们的视力)可知，此次旅行的背后有着特殊的原因，即孩子们患有一种会逐渐剥夺他们视力的疾病。因此，第一段的主要功能是引出这个故事背后的原因和背景。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it.(诊断是在2015年做出的。尽管父母很悲伤，但他们惊讶地发现当时7岁的米娅对此很平静)”以及第四段“‘She’s finding solutions on her own,’ the parents told each other. ‘We need to follow her lead.’(‘她自己在想办法，’父母告诉彼此，’我们需要听从她的意见。’)”可知，当得知孩子们患病时，父母虽然悲伤，但看到米娅的平静和主动寻找解决方案的态度，他们选择尊重并跟随米娅的意见，进行了这次长途旅行。由此可推断，父母非常开明，尊重孩子们的决定。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot.(米娅长高了，进入青春期后，她需要更多的独立。她的弟弟们变得更加自信和开朗。孩子们非常清楚地意识到他们学到了很多)”可知，本段主要描述了这次旅行给孩子们带来的身体和心理上的变化。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段“The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.(这些记忆真的很重要，因为除非科学很快取得突破，否则其中三个孩子将在成年后失明。他们被诊断出一种疾病，这种疾病没有有效的治疗方法，也没有具体的时间表，因为它会逐渐剥夺他们的视力)”以及文章的主要内容可知，文章主要讲述了米娅一家在得知孩子们可能逐渐失明的情况下，决定进行一次为期一年的旅行，以在孩子们还能看见的时候，为他们留下尽可能多的美好回忆。因此，最好的标题应该是“Making the most of the vision(充分利用视力)”。故选A项。 C Social media can lead to mental exhaustion (疲惫). And when mentally exhausted, you are more likely to be influenced by a high number of likes on posts — even to the point of clicking on ads for products you don't need or want. As a professor of advertising, I have studied social media behaviors for years. In late 2022, my colleague Eric Haley and I conducted three online studies on Americans aged 18 — 65 to test how people under various mental loads respond to ads differently. The control group in each study were given no introductory task — we just had them look at an ad. A second group had to memorize a nine-digit number and then look at the ad. The third group looked through the Internet for 30 seconds and then looked at the ad. Participants randomly saw an ad with a few hundred likes or tens of thousands of likes. After viewing the ad, each participant rated how willing they would be to buy the product, and how much mental effort it took to think about the information. The group that used the Internet first were the most likely to want to buy the featured product when there were lots of likes or comments, and they also reported using the most mental effort to assess the ad. Researchers refer to this mentally exhausted state as “cognitive (认知的) overload”. Using social media puts them in this state because they are constantly evaluating different types of texts, photos and video posts from so many different people. In the span of several seconds, they can see a text from their husband or wife, a photo from a co-worker, a video from a celebrity and an emoji from their brother. All of this evaluating leaves them feeling frazzled. Imagine asking your roommate if they want to go get pizza. Under normal conditions, the roommate might consider several factors such as cost, hunger, timing or their schedule. Now imagine asking your roommate the same question while they are on the phone with a sick relative. They no longer have the mental energy to logically consider whether pizza for dinner is a good idea. By understanding how social media influences them, consumers can be more thoughtful in regulating their use—and hopefully not buy yet another water bottle they don’t need. 8. Why did the author conduct three online studies on Americans aged 18-65? A. To investigate their online habits. B. To test their reactions to advertisements. C. To research what kind of advertising is effective. D. To discover why people suffer great mental stress. 9. What docs paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its finding. D. Its significance. 10. What does the underlined word “frazzled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Interested. B. Depressed. C. Annoyed. D. Tired. 11. Why does the author mention “your roommate” in paragraph 5? A. To further explain cognitive overload. B. To stress the importance of. relationships. C. To strongly call on people to eat healthily. D. To remind people not to rely on mobile phones. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究发现，浏览社交媒体可能会使人精神疲惫，这时候人们更容易购买本来并不需要的产品。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In late 2022, my colleague Eric Haley and I conducted three online studies on Americans aged 18—65 to test how people under various mental loads respond to ads differently. (2022年底，我和同事埃里克·海利对18-65岁的美国人进行了三项在线研究，以测试不同心理负荷下的人对广告的不同反应。)”可知，作者对18-65岁的美国人进行三项在线研究是为了测试他们对广告的反应。故选B。 【9题详解】 段落大意题。通读第三段“The control group in each study were given no introductory task—we just had them look at an ad. A second group had to memorize a nine-digit number and then look at the ad. The third group looked through the Internet for 30 seconds and then looked at the ad. Participants randomly saw an ad with a few hundred likes or tens of thousands of likes. After viewing the ad, each participant rated how willing they would be to buy the product, and how much mental effort it took to think about the information. (在每项研究中，控制组都没有得到任何介绍任务——我们只是让他们看一个广告。第二组被要求记住一个九位数，然后看广告。第三组在网上浏览了30秒，然后看了广告。参与者随机看到一个有几百个赞或上万个赞的广告。在看完广告后，每个参与者都对他们购买该产品的意愿进行了评估，以及他们花了多少精力来思考这些信息。)”可知，本段主要介绍了此次研究的过程。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“Researchers refer to this mentally exhausted state as “cognitive (认知的) overload”. Using social media puts them in this state because they are constantly evaluating different types of texts, photos and video posts from so many different people. In the span of several seconds, they can see a text from their husband or wife, a photo from a co-worker, a video from a celebrity and an emoji from their brother. (研究人员将这种精神疲惫的状态称为“认知超载”。使用社交媒体让他们处于这种状态，因为他们不断地评估来自不同人的不同类型的文本、照片和视频帖子。在几秒钟内，他们可以看到丈夫或妻子的短信、同事的照片、名人的视频和兄弟的表情符号。)”可推断，所有这些评估让他们感到疲惫，划线词的含义为“疲惫的”。A. Interested感兴趣的；B. Depressed沮丧的；C. Annoyed烦恼的；D. Tired累的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Imagine asking your roommate if they want to go get pizza. Under normal conditions, the roommate might consider several factors such as cost, hunger, timing or their schedule. Now imagine asking your roommate the same question while they are on the phone with a sick relative. They no longer have the mental energy to logically consider whether pizza for dinner is a good idea. (想象一下，你问你的室友想不想去吃披萨。在正常情况下，室友可能会考虑几个因素，比如费用、饥饿、时间或他们的日程安排。现在想象一下，当你的室友和生病的亲戚打电话时，你问他们同样的问题。他们不再有精力去逻辑地考虑晚餐吃披萨是否是个好主意。)”可推断，作者提及“你的室友”是为了进一步解释认知超载。故选A。 D Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 12. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 13. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 14. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人们对保护遗产的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living.(我小时候所熟悉的社区，到处都是美丽的老建筑，现在大部分都消失了，取而代之的是现代化的高层建筑。这是有充分理由的。居民们想要现代生活的一切便利)”可知，是人们对现代舒适的渴望驱使人们用新建筑取代旧建筑。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The renovation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world.(对历史街区的改造和保护可以成为一个经济引擎，吸引游客和小企业来到该地区。例如，在迪拜，历史悠久的Al bastikiya区每年吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客)”可知，举Al bastikiya的例子表明：文物保护带来经济效益。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built.(而且，尽管人们经常声称老建筑的环境足迹比新建筑更大，因为它们不是很节能，但建筑师和环境专家坚持认为，最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑)”可推知，翻新旧建筑减少了对环境的影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered.(历史保护是一种提供多种可能性的选择；相反，拆迁是不可逆转的。一旦这些宝藏失去，它们就永远失去了，这是我们遗产中一个永远无法恢复的重要环节)”可推知，作者对历史保护的态度是积极的和支持的。故选A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。 Has this ever happened to you? You’re exhausted after a long working day,and the only thing you want to do is throw yourself on the bed and black out. But unfortunately,you can’t make it! Instead, you’re tossing and turning with your mind occupied with endless thoughts.However tired you’re,sleep keeps escaping from you! ____16____ Drinking water It’s true that our body needs to stay hydrated during the day,but stop “watering” it one hour before going to bed,____17____,which will rudely interrupt your sleep. Moreover, most people hardly fall back asleep after getting up at midnight. Playing with gadgets Cut down on your screen time before falling asleep.Not only do gadgets over-stimulate your brain, making it restless,but their screens also give off that disturbing blue light. This light stops your body’s sleep hormone and changes your internal clock. ____18____Of course,you can choose a special night mode on your devices to solve the problem, but the best solution is to power down all hand-held screens an hour before sleeping. ____19____ It’s believed that eating a lot before going to bed can cause nightmares. By eating heavy foods for dinner,your brain is encouraged to be more active,which can lead to vivid nightmares.Besides,a hearty dinner disrupts your digestive system and causes problems with your stomach. ____20____,you can get physically and mentally ill. So,try to avoid the bad bedtime habits,and you’ll feel more rested and energetic in the morning and during the next day. A. Eating less at proper time B. Eating heavily before sleep C. The reason for that might be the following seemingly innocent bedtime habits D. Consequently,your brain doesn’t believe it’s time to go to bed E. For lack of proper sleep F. It’s not only about the size of the meal but the time when you have it G. otherwise you’ll be certain to make one or even a couple of trips to the bathroom 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了影响睡眠的三个睡前不良习惯——即睡前饮水，睡前玩电子设备和睡前过量饮食。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Has this ever happened to you? You’re exhausted after a long working day, and the only thing you want to do is throw yourself on the bed and black out.(你遇到过这种情况吗？在漫长的一天工作之后，你已经筋疲力尽了，你唯一想做的事情就是躺在床上昏睡过去)”以及“Instead, you’re tossing and turning with your mind occupied with endless thoughts. However tired you’re, sleep keeps escaping from you! (相反，你辗转反侧，思绪万千。不管你有多累，睡眠总是从你身边溜走！)”可知，上文提到想睡觉，但是却睡不着，结合下文段落小标题可知下文分析了不能入睡的理由，可推断空处承上启下，故C选项“原因可能是以下看似无害的睡眠习惯”符合语境，引出下文对不能入睡的原因的陈述。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It’s true that our body needs to stay hydrated during the day, but stop “watering” it one hour before going to bed(我们的身体在白天确实需要保持水分，但在睡觉前一小时不要“喝太多水”)”可知，身体白天需要水分，但是睡前应停止喝水，结合下文“which will rudely interrupt your sleep. Moreover, most people hardly fall back asleep after getting up at midnight. (这将粗暴地打断你的睡眠，而且大多数人半夜醒后难以入睡。)”可知，which引导定语从句，指代空处内容，说明“睡前喝水会导致夜间上厕所从而影响睡眠”，故G选项“否则你肯定会去一次，甚至上几次厕所”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Cut down on your screen time before falling asleep. Not only do gadgets over-stimulate your brain, making it restless, but their screens also give off that disturbing blue light. This light stops your body’s sleep hormone and changes your internal clock.(睡前减少看屏幕的时间。电子产品不仅会过度刺激你的大脑，让它焦躁不安，它们的屏幕也会发出令人不安的蓝光。这种光线会阻止你身体的睡眠激素，改变你的生物钟)”以及后文“Of course, you can choose a special night mode on your devices to solve the problem, but the best solution is to power down all hand-held screens an hour before sleeping.(当然，你可以选择一种特殊的夜间模式来解决这个问题，但最好的解决办法是在睡觉前一小时关闭所有手持屏幕的电源)”根据该空前内容“睡前使用电子设备会抑制身体的睡眠激素并改变生物钟”，以及后文“解决问题的方法”可知，该空为使用电子设备的后果，即“大脑认为此时还不是睡眠时间”。故D选项“因此，你的大脑不认为是时候睡觉了”符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 空处是段落小标题。根据本段内容“It's believed that eating a lot before going to bed can cause nightmares. By eating heavy foods for dinner, your brain is encouraged to be more active, which can lead to vivid nightmares. Besides, a hearty dinner disrupts your digestive system and causes problems with your stomach.(人们认为睡前吃太多会导致噩梦。晚餐吃油腻的食物会让你的大脑更加活跃，这可能会导致生动的噩梦。此外，一顿丰盛的晚餐会扰乱你的消化系统，导致你的胃出现问题)”可知，该段描述了“睡前不良习惯——过量饮食”。故B选项“睡前吃太多”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“So, try to avoid the bad bedtime habits, and you'll feel more rested and energetic in the morning and during the next day.(所以，尽量避免坏的就寝习惯，你会在早上和第二天感到更有精力和神清气爽)”可知，此处是对整篇文章进行总结，足够的睡眠让你第二天精力充沛，因此缺乏足够的睡眠会影响身心健康，所以应避免这些睡前的不良习惯。结合后半句“you can get physically and mentally ill.(你的身体和精神都会生病)”可推断，E选项“由于缺乏适当的睡眠”符合语境，故选E。 第二部分：语言知识及应用（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers, but like anyone for whom you feel affection (喜爱), customers can also drive you mad.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand towards Chips. My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated. Memories of past fear surged through my mind, but I pushed them aside. I closed my eyes briefly and forced myself to touch him. To my surprise, instead of barking or pulling away, Chips simply wagged his tail and leaned into my hand. The softness of his fur under my fingers was comforting, and a small smile crept onto my face. I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. Chips wagged his tail, his eyes filled with kindness, not aggression. I sat back, watching him settle at my feet, and the weight of the fear I had carried for so long began to lift. My mom smiled, clearly noticing the change in me, and I smile back. I had thought that all dogs wanted to hurt me, but Chips had proven me wrong. For the first time since the attack, I felt like I could let go of my fear and start to trust again. Only then did I realize that to conquer fear is the beginning of growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一年级的时候被一只黑狗咬伤，这导致他有了严重的噩梦和对狗的极度恐惧，甚至影响到了他的日常生活和学习，作者的母亲注意到了他的问题，决定帮助他克服对狗的恐惧。她邀请小作者和她一起去见她的朋友Emma和她家的狗Chips，作者去了以后仍然感到非常害怕，但他也意识到这只狗和之前咬他的狗不同。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈温柔的鼓励下，我知道我必须试一试。”可知，第一段可描写作者在母亲的温柔鼓励下，鼓起勇气尝试与狗Chips接触的过程和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续拍着他，感觉我的想法发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者在与狗Chips进一步互动后，内心发生的变化以及这一变化带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：作者伸出手——强迫自己碰狗——狗很友好——狗坐在作者脚边——作者笑了——作者放下恐惧——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/stick out ②强迫：force/compel ③放开：let go of/let loose 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊讶：to my surprise/to my astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated.

With its expert-made curriculum, the program offers endless hours of content for children aged 2 to 8. The interactive app offers thousands of activities to help develop this essential skill, with lessons that expose students to math, arts, and science at age-appropriate levels too. The cost after free trial is around $15 per month. Families who purchase a full year’s subscription can get about 70% off the price. Homer Homer provides a personalized learning path for children aged 2 to 8. Children will learn reading, math, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way. Instead of a one-size-fits-most approach, Homer customizes learning plans and allows students to take the lead in deciding what they want to work on. The price point is in line with similar apps at about $5 per month after a free trial, or roughly $60 for a full year or $100 for lifetime access. Hooked on Phonics Hooked on Phonics is an exceptional tool for homeschoolers, with a wide range of lessons, games, and fun activities. It is one of the most popular brands for teaching kids to read, and its integrated system makes it an ideal option for homeschooling students. Children are introduced to each new concept through a series of fun activities, videos, and even songs. The system is a little bit pricier than other apps, at about $16 per month after a trial month for roughly $1. FarFaria FarFaria invites children to join in on a magic al adventure that includes island hopping and the choice between reading the story or having it narrated completely with fun, magical animation. While the free membership offers one story a day, paid subscribers unlock access to unlimited adventures at roughly $8 per month. Readers can either read the books themselves or take advantage of the “read to me” option to have stories read aloud by professional narrators. 1.

B Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could. The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight. The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place. “In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said. “She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range—while the kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.” By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18 countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia. 4. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph? A. To amuse the readers. B. To lead in the story behind. C. To summarize the main idea. D. To inform readers of a wonderful trip. 5. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4? A. They are optimistic about the children’s disease. B. They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas. C. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision. D. They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The details about the year-long journey. B. The changes of the kids physically and mentally. C. The keen anticipation of Mia about the future. D. The impression Mia had of what she had experienced. 7. Which is the best title of the story? A. Making the most of the vision. B. Seeing is believing. C Man who travels far knows more. D. The eyes are the window to the soul. C Social media can lead to mental exhaustion (疲惫). And when mentally exhausted, you are more likely to be influenced by a high number of likes on posts — even to the point of clicking on ads for products you don't need or want. As a professor of advertising, I have studied social media behaviors for years. In late 2022, my colleague Eric Haley and I conducted three online studies on Americans aged 18 — 65 to test how people under various mental loads respond to ads differently. The control group in each study were given no introductory task — we just had them look at an ad. A second group had to memorize a nine-digit number and then look at the ad. The third group looked through the Internet for 30 seconds and then looked at the ad. Participants randomly saw an ad with a few hundred likes or tens of thousands of likes. After viewing the ad, each participant rated how willing they would be to buy the product, and how much mental effort it took to think about the information. The group that used the Internet first were the most likely to want to buy the featured product when there were lots of likes or comments, and they also reported using the most mental effort to assess the ad. Researchers refer to this mentally exhausted state as “cognitive (认知的) overload”. Using social media puts them in this state because they are constantly evaluating different types of texts, photos and video posts from so many different people. In the span of several seconds, they can see a text from their husband or wife, a photo from a co-worker, a video from a celebrity and an emoji from their brother. All of this evaluating leaves them feeling frazzled. Imagine asking your roommate if they want to go get pizza. Under normal conditions, the roommate might consider several factors such as cost, hunger, timing or their schedule. Now imagine asking your roommate the same question while they are on the phone with a sick relative. They no longer have the mental energy to logically consider whether pizza for dinner is a good idea. By understanding how social media influences them, consumers can be more thoughtful in regulating their use—and hopefully not buy yet another water bottle they don’t need. 8.

The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 12. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 13. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 14. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
