B McGriff was in her second year of university when she read Half the Sky,which examines the unfair treatment of women in developing countries.She was shocked to learn that 129 million girls worldwide do not have access to school. "In much of the world,women and girls are responsible for household duties,"said McGriff,"It's seen that girls won't ever be putting their education to use."Additionally, many poor families can't afford girls'tuition fees,school supplies and uniforms().Yet, studies have shown that providing free uniforms can reduce dropout rates by 16%and absenteeism by more than 35%.This simple solution took root in McGriff's mind and started her journey helping girls transform their lives. As she took an entrepreneurship()class,she was tasked with creating a business or nonprofit for a class project,which reminded her of the idea of the school uniform.Soon she developed an idea.After conducting field research,McGriff returned home,presented her education project at entrepreneurship competitions and won $35,000 in startup fund. Eventually she established her nonprofit,Style Her Empowered(SHE),to bring her vision to life. That first year,the group hired local tailors and provided uniforms and school fees for 65 girls.But they soon ran into a problem-the students were outgrowing quickly.To address this,McGriff's team,together with local tailors and students,designed an innovative "growing uniform"which could be adjusted to fit a girl for up to three years, accommodating six different sizes. Today,SHE serves girls in 20 rural villages in southern Togo,providing 1,500 girls a year with free uniforms,school fees,supplies,tutoring,and much more.Once enrolled, students receive weekly tutoring.As a result,SHE's students consistently pass their exams at higher rates than the national average."Our students have increased their performance in school dramatically,"McGriff said."If given the opportunity,they shine." 24.What contributes to girls'high dropout rates according to paragraph 2? A.Financial difficulty. B.Family conflict. C.Academic performance. D.School arrangement. 25.When did McGriff start her nonprofit organization? A.After she analyzed the data of studies. B.When she learned about girls'dropout rates. C.When she won entrepreneurship competitions. D.After she read a book on girls'unfair treatment. 26.How did SHE settle the issue of uniforms for girls? A.By hiring famous local tailors. B.By creating adjustable uniforms. C.By providing uniforms of various sizes. D.By increasing the school uniform budget. 27.Why does the writer mention the school performance of SHE's students? A.To highlight their hard work. B.To suggest the popularity of SHE. C.To indicate their further development. D.To show the effectiveness of SHE's practice. c In an age when online misinformation is seemingly everywhere and objective facts are frequently questioned,some psychologists have presented a solution:Expose young children to more misinformation online-not less.Doing so in limited circumstances,and with careful oversight and education,can help children gain the tools they'll need to tell fact from falsehood online,said Evan Orticio,a Ph.D.student in UC Berkeley's Department of Psychology. "Children are born with skepticism()and they can adapt their level of skepticism according to the quality of information they've seen before in a digital context,"Orticio said."They can use their expectations of how this digital environment works to make reasonable adjustments to how much they trust or distrust information." Minors encounter health misinformation within minutes of creating a TikTok account. Even platforms intended for young audiences like YouTube Kids have become spaces for misinformation.That's a particular problem because parents may have the impression that these are safe places their kids can explore.That may give a false sense of security and allow falsehoods and problematic content to go unchecked and be taken as true and acceptable.So encountering misinformation when children surf online is unavoidable. If children have some experience working in controlled but imperfect environments where they are constantly encountering things that aren't quite right,and we show them the process for figuring out what is actually true and not,that will set them up with the expectation to be more critical.Orticio said,"Rather than trying to sanitize their online environments,parents should have discussions with their children about how to check claims and talk about what they're seeing."It's not that we need to enhance their skepticism.It's that we need to give them the ability to use that skepticism to their advantage. 28.Why should children be exposed to more misinformation online? A.To maintain their level of skepticism. B.To help them adjust to misinformation. C.To equip them with fact-checking skills. D.To lower their expectations of information. 29.What mistake do parents probably make according to paragraph 3? A.Gathering false information online. B.Creating online accounts for their kids. C.Robbing their kids of a sense of security. D.Taking imperfect platforms for safe places. 30.What does the underlined word "sanitize"in the last paragraph mean? A.Adapt to. B.Rely on. C.Figure out. D.Clean up. 31.What should parents offer to help children explore the online world? A.Proper guidance. B.Good digital resources. C.Prevention strategies. D.Limited Internet access. D Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wal.We are probably all guilty(有过失的)of feeling like we are right,even if we don't have all the facts.This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOLA)”. "Interpersonal conflict is on the rise,driving increases in anger,anxiety,and general stress,"says Angus Fletcher,a researcher at the Ohio State University."We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced." In the study,the team surveyed 1,261 Americans online.All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage.Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging()with another school that has better water.Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem.Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments. They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do.They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision.About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools merge. The team calls this belief IOIA.Fletcher describes it as,"The less our brain knows,the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know.This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments,when we miss necessary information." The team also found some were willing to change their minds-once they had all the facts.Timing also plays a role.The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed,not long-held beliefs. According to Fletcher,one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask,"Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better?"This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict. 32.What was the main goal of Fletcher's research? A.To find ways to improve debate skills. B.To identify types of information sources. C.To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D.To explore how to minimize misunderstandings. 33.Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA? A.They held deep-rooted beliefs. B.They received a lot of false information. C.They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D.They were worried about the school's situation. 34.What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA? A.Establishing interpersonal bonds. B.Seeking to bridge the information gap. C.Encouraging others to see the big picture. D.Stressing the weaknesses in others'positions. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B.Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress? C.Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D.What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making? 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。 The word for Samoans to say hello is Talofa.36 It depends on who they're speaking with and the formality of the situation. In the old days,Samoans greeted each other by touching foreheads and noses together. The practice was widely discontinued after the Spanish influenza pandemic()wiped out around 20 percent of our population.37 Now,what about the language that Samoans use to greet people? Talofa is the official word for hello in Samoan.38 That is Si-o'u-alofa,which literally means:my love,but the unspoken understanding behind it is that I'm offering my love to the person I'm addressing.So basically,Talofa means my love is for you. Another greeting expression is Ua 'e sau,which confused me when I first heard it.But I soon learned that it's so common and so very Samoan.When you show up somewhere, it's perfectly natural for a Samoan to ask,"Ua e sau?"39 Anyone outside our culture might think,"Uhh,can you not see that I am here,and I have arrived?"Actually, it's just a way for the greeter to acknowledge you are now in their presence.Also I've noticed that if your arrival is unexpected,this question is a beautifully subtle(way of asking why you are here.40 A.It means,"Have you arrived?" B.But they use a few other greetings as well. C.Remember it next time a Samoan asks you,"Ua e sau?" D.They might wonder why you bother to ask such a question. E.It comes from an older greeting packed with beautiful meaning. F.So we should practice some of Samoa's most common greeting words. G.These days,Samoans like to greet each other with a single kiss on the cheek. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Manuel Vera,a retiree in Silver Spring,had no idea his efforts would go this far.At first,he 41 sought to help his neighbors stay physically active by offering to 42 their bikes for free.All he asked was the cost of new parts.Later,he started thinking about the unused bikes people had at home and 43 neighbors to donate those collecting 44 in their basements.
