Costa Rica When considering a destination for an eco-friendly vacation, Costa Rica is a must. It is a rugged country known for its beautiful beaches and volcanoes. Activities include volcano hikes, whitewater rafting, and coffee region tours. You can also volunteer for sea turtle conservation.

Raja Ampat Raja Ampat, an archipelago (群岛) in Indonesia, is an ecotourism destination with 75% of the world’s marine (海洋的) species. It is very popular with divers and has a lot to offer to any traveler wanting to see somewhere that is off the tourist track. The climate is pleasant year-round, with only short-lived rain in June. Sorsogon Sorsogon, Bicol Region, is a popular spot for ecotourism. If you love mountains and are courageous enough to climb an active volcano, there’s Mt. Bulusan. Visitors can also go kayaking, go camping, and learn to cook local cuisine. However, due to frequent typhoons and natural disasters, it’s difficult to say the best time to visit. 1.

(活动包括火山远足、激流漂流和咖啡产区之旅)”可知，游客可以参观哥斯达黎加的咖啡产区。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jamaica中“For the best experience, visit in April. (要想获得最佳体验，请在4月份参观)”可知，四月是游览牙买加的最佳时间。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Costa Rica中“When considering a destination for an eco-friendly vacation, Costa Rica is a must. (当考虑一个环保度假的目的地时，哥斯达黎加是必须的)”、Jamaica中“Jamaica’s turquoise water and white sand beaches make it a top ecotourism destination in the Caribbean. (牙买加碧绿的海水和白色的沙滩使它成为加勒比地区顶级的生态旅游目的地)”、Raja Ampat中“Raja Ampat, an archipelago (群岛) in Indonesia, is an ecotourism destination with 75% of the world’s marine (海洋的) species. (印度尼西亚的拉贾安帕特群岛是一个生态旅游目的地，拥有世界上75%的海洋物种)”和Sorsogon中“Sorsogon, Bicol Region, is a popular spot for ecotourism.

Gayle Williams, 69, plans to tackle a project she’s been putting off for months: organizing all her financial information. These seniors have been inspired to take these actions by an innovative course for such “solo agers”: Aging Alone Together, offered by Dorot, a social services agency in New York City. More than 1,000 people have participated in the program since it was launched in 2021. Dorot is working with partners across the country to expand its reach. The program consists of six 90-minute, interactive weekly sessions that focus on the seniors’ key concerns: building communities of support, figuring out where to live, completing advance care directives such as living wills, and getting financial and legal affairs in order. The program is to help participants overcome fear and hesitation when planning for their uncertain futures. Practical tools, advice, and resources are provided to motivate people to take action. Additionally, it aims to develop a sense of community that promotes a “can do” attitude. As Nisen emphasized, “Solo aging doesn’t mean aging alone; instead, it means planning for the future.” That message moved Davis deeply, a single artist in Manhattan, who is facing the challenge of finding meaningful activities as arthritis (关节炎) limits his ability to paint. Despite having long-term care insurance and a rent-regulated apartment with an elevator, he feels lonely without his artistic pursuits (追求). “There are days that go by when I don’t say a word to anyone,” Davis admitted. “I have my friends, but they have their own lives, with their children and grandchildren. I’m turning to Dorot for more social contact. And Aging Alone Together has helped me focus on the here and now.” 4. Why does the author mention Jeff Kromrey and Gayle Williams in paragraph 1? A. To introduce Dorot’s program. B. To illustrate the daily life of the elderly. C. To highlight family ties. D. To show the significance of a course. 5. What is one goal of Aging Alone Together? A. To donate money regularly to seniors. B. To guide seniors to embrace loneliness. C. To encourage seniors to plan for the future. D. To help seniors overcome the fear of living alone. 6. What is Davis’ attitude towards Aging Alone Together? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Challenges of Aging Alone B. Approaches to Overcoming Loneliness C. Dorot’s Initiative: Finding Balance in Solo Aging D. Empowering Seniors: Aging Alone Together Program 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了纽约市社会服务机构Dorot推出一项针对“独居老人”的创新课程——“Aging Alone Together”，该课程旨在帮助老年人为未来做好规划，克服对未来不确定性的恐惧和犹豫，同时培养社区意识。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“These seniors have been inspired to take these actions by an innovative course for such “solo agers”: Aging Alone Together, offered by Dorot, a social services agency in New York City.(这些老年人受到了一个针对“独居老人”的创新课程的启发而采取了这些行动：由纽约市社会服务机构 Dorot 提供的“Aging Alone Together”课程)”可知，作者提到Jeff Kromrey和Gayle Williams是为了引出Dorot的这个课程，即介绍Dorot的项目。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“The program is to help participants overcome fear and hesitation when planning for their uncertain futures. Practical tools, advice, and resources are provided to motivate people to take action. Additionally, it aims to develop a sense of community that promotes a “can do” attitude. As Nisen emphasized, “Solo aging doesn’t mean aging alone; instead, it means planning for the future”(该项目旨在帮助参与者在为不确定的未来做规划时克服恐惧和犹豫。提供实用的工具、建议和资源来激励人们采取行动。此外，它旨在培养一种促进“能行”态度的社区意识。正如尼森所强调的，“独自变老并不意味着孤独地变老；相反，它意味着为未来做规划”)”可知，“Aging Alone Together”项目的一个目标是鼓励老年人为未来做规划。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段““There are days that go by when I don’t say a word to anyone,” Davis admitted. “I have my friends, but they have their own lives, with their children and grandchildren. I’m turning to Dorot for more social contact. And Aging Alone Together has helped me focus on the here and now.”(“有几天过去了，我没有和任何人说一句话，”戴维斯承认。“我有我的朋友，但他们有自己的生活，有他们的孩子和孙子孙女。我正在向Dorot 寻求更多的社交联系。而“Aging Alone Together”项目帮助我专注于当下”)”可知，Davis认为这个项目帮助他获得了更多社交联系，并且能让他专注于当下，由此可以推断出Davis对“Aging Alone Together”项目持积极的态度。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Jeff Kromrey, 69, will sit down with his daughter the next time she visits and show her how to access his online accounts if he has an unexpected health crisis. Gayle Williams, 69, plans to tackle a project she’s been putting off for months: organizing all her financial information. These seniors have been inspired to take these actions by an innovative course for such “solo agers”: Aging Alone Together, offered by Dorot, a social services agency in New York City(69岁的Jeff Kromrey打算等女儿下次来探望他的时候，坐下来教她如何在他遭遇突发健康危机时访问他的在线账户。69岁的Gayle Williams则计划完成一个她已经推迟了几个月的项目：整理她所有的财务信息。这些老年人受到纽约市一家社会服务机构Dorot提供的一门创新课程“独自衰老，共同面对”（Aging Alone Together）的启发而采取了这些行动)”、第二段“More than 1,000 people have participated in the program since it was launched in 2021. Dorot is working with partners across the country to expand its reach. The program consists of six 90-minute, interactive weekly sessions that focus on the seniors’ key concerns: building communities of support, figuring out where to live, completing advance care directives such as living wills, and getting financial and legal affairs in order(自2021年该计划启动以来，已有1000多人参加。Dorot正在与全国各地的合作伙伴合作，以扩大其覆盖范围。该计划包括六次为期90分钟的互动式周会，重点讨论老年人关注的关键问题：建立支持社区、确定居住地点、完成生前医疗指示（如遗嘱）以及整理财务和法律事务)”以及最后一段““There are days that go by when I don’t say a word to anyone,” Davis admitted. “I have my friends, but they have their own lives, with their children and grandchildren. I’m turning to Dorot for more social contact. And Aging Alone Together has helped me focus on the here and now.”(“有些日子过去了，我一句话也没和别人说，”戴维斯承认。“我有朋友，但他们有自己的生活，有他们的孩子和孙子。我正转向Dorot寻求更多的社交接触。“Aging Alone Together”帮助我专注于此时此地。”)”可知，本文通过Jeff Kromrey和Gayle Williams的例子引出了“独自衰老，共同面对”项目并介绍了该项目的参与人数、开展方式以及主要内容，文章通过Davis的例子说明了该项目对老年人的积极影响。由此可知，这篇文章主要围绕 “Aging Alone Together” 项目展开，强调该项目对老年人的帮助，D项“Empowering Seniors: Aging Alone Together Program(赋予老年人力量：“独自衰老，共同面对”项目)”表达的含义可以作为这篇文章的最佳标题。故选D项。 C Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal, the first author of the study, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In their study, 376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed, and people who were more depressed also tended to use social media more. However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure. In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time. Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including younger children and adolescents. 8. Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A. To explore how depression affects social media use. B. To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health. C. To find the link between social media and depression. D. To determine why social media contributes to depression. 9. How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A. By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9. B. By observing the participants’ daily behavior. C. By asking the participants’ friends and families. D. By analyzing the participants’ social media posts. 10. What do the researchers advise people with depression to do? A. Avoid using mobile phones. B. Develop healthy eating habits. C. Seek professional help regularly. D. Cut down the time on social media. 11. What does the follow-up study aim to find out? A. The types of social media. B. The influence of social media on mental health. C. The popularity of social media among younger children. D. Effective ways to limit social media use among the youth. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明社交媒体使用与抑郁症存在相关性，但未证明社交媒体使用会导致抑郁症状的加重或减轻，研究人员建议抑郁症患者注意社交媒体使用时间并培养健康生活习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal (研究表明，当社交媒体的使用率很高时，抑郁症也很严重。但问题是，这是因为社交媒体导致这个人抑郁吗？还是因为抑郁的人也倾向于更多地使用社交媒体，花更少的时间锻炼和呆在绿地上？“这就是我们想要了解的，”Carol Vidal说)”可知，Carol Vidal开展这项研究是为了发现社交媒体和抑郁症之间的联系。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. (在每个时间点，参与者根据PHQ-9，一份通常用于测量抑郁的9项量表，以及社交媒体使用、绿地空间接触和身体活动自我报告抑郁症状)”可知，研究人员通过一个名为PHQ-9的9项量表来测量抑郁。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. (团队中的其他专业人士也表示，这些发现表明，抑郁症患者应该注意他们花在社交媒体上的时间，并应鼓励他们将其他健康习惯融入他们的生活方式中)”可知，研究人员建议抑郁症患者减少使用社交媒体的时间。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all áges, including younger children and adolescents. (维达尔和其他调查人员认为，社交媒体有很多方面，要进一步了解它对所有年龄段的人的心理健康的影响，包括年幼的儿童和青少年，还有重要的下一步工作要做)”可知，后续研究旨在了解社交媒体对心理健康的影响。故选B项。 D Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence (AI)” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers. In the study, published in the Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management, researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate (评估) the relationship between AI inclusion and consumer behavior. The findings consistently showed products described as using AI were less popular, according to Mesut Cicek, clinical assistant professor of marketing and lead author of the study. “When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn reduces purchase intentions,” he said. “We found emotional trust plays a critical role in how consumers view AI-powered products.” In the experiments, the researchers included questions and descriptions across diverse product and service categories. For example, in one experiment, participants were presented with similar descriptions of smart televisions. The only difference was that the term AI was included for one group and omitted for the other. The group that saw AI included in the product description indicated they were less likely to purchase the television. Researchers also discovered that negative response to AI inclusion was even stronger for “high-risk” products and services, those which people commonly feel more uncertain or anxious about buying, such as expensive electronics, medical devices or financial services. Because failure carries more risk, which may include money loss or danger to physical safety, mentioning AI for these types of descriptions may make consumers more careful and less likely to purchase, according to Cicek. “We tested the effect across eight different product and service categories, and the results were all the same,” Cicek said. Cicek said the findings provide valuable insights for companies. “Marketers should carefully consider how they present AI in their product descriptions or develop strategies to increase emotional trust. Emphasizing AI may not always be beneficial particularly for high-risk products, and mainly focus on describing the features or benefits,” he said. 12. What is the primary focus of the study? A. Why consumers fail to trust AI. B. How AI affects product sales. C. Why Al is considered innovative. D. How AI impacts companies’ strategies. 13. What does the underlined word “omitted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A Removed. B. Added. C. Repeated. D. Highlighted. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The risk of financial loss is the biggest concern from consumers. B. Consumers are more careful when AI is used in high-risk products. C. Researchers tested the effect of AI mainly on expensive electronics. D. This is the first time for people to test AI’s effect in service categories. 15. What should companies do according to Cicek? A. Highlight AI only for low-risk products. B. Improve the product quality to attract customers. C. Enhance consumers’ emotional trust in products. D. Avoid mentioning AI in their product descriptions. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI描述对产品销售的影响及企业应对策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence (AI)” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers. In the study, published in the Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management, researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate (评估) the relationship between AI inclusion and consumer behavior. (根据华盛顿州立大学研究人员领导的一项研究，当公司在描述使用人工智能（AI）技术的产品时，如果包含“人工智能（AI）”一词，可能会无意中损害其销量。该研究发表在《酒店业营销与管理杂志》上，研究人员对美国 1000 多名成年人进行了实验调查，以评估 AI 提及与消费者行为之间的关系。)”可知，本研究主要关注的是人工智能（AI）对产品销售的影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“The only difference was that the term AI was included for one group and omitted for the other. (唯一的区别是，一个组包括了AI这个词，而另一个组omitted这个词。)”可知，两个组的区别是一个组包括了AI这个词，而另一个组省略了这个词。omitted在此处的意思是“省略，去除”，与选项A“Removed (去除)”意思相符。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Researchers also discovered that negative response to AI inclusion was even stronger for “high-risk” products and services, those which people commonly feel more uncertain or anxious about buying, such as expensive electronics, medical devices or financial services. Because failure carries more risk, which may include money loss or danger to physical safety, mentioning AI for these types of descriptions may make consumers more careful and less likely to purchase, according to Cicek. (研究人员还发现，对于“高风险”产品和服务（即人们通常对购买感到更不确定或焦虑的产品和服务，如昂贵的电子产品、医疗设备或金融服务），对AI提及的负面反应甚至更强烈。Cicek表示，由于失败会带来更多风险，可能包括金钱损失或对人身安全的威胁，因此在这些类型的描述中提到AI可能会让消费者更加谨慎，减少购买的可能性。)”可知，当AI被用于高风险产品时，消费者会更加谨慎，购买的可能性会降低。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Marketers should carefully consider how they present AI in their product descriptions or develop strategies to increase emotional trust. (营销人员应仔细考虑如何在产品描述中呈现AI，或制定策略来增加情感信任。)”可知，Cicek建议公司应该增强消费者对产品的情感信任。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Managing personal finances is an essential life skill.

(对于高中生来说，这是开始学习理财，为未来成功理财打下坚实基础的好时机)”提到高中生是时候学习理财了，后文段落围绕理财的具体方法展开，空处应起到过渡作用，说明理财的重要性，同时提到具体方法，因此D项“The following is the key to teens’ finance control (以下是青少年控制财务的关键)”符合语境，承前启后。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“The sooner you learn how to allocate (分配) this money effectively, the better off you’ll be. (你越早学会如何有效地分配这笔钱，你就会过得越好)”提到学会有效分配收入的好处，后文“Then group your spending into “necessary” and “optional”. After that, you can prioritize your spending, ensuring that you save or invest a portion each month. (然后将你的支出分为“必要”和“可选”两类。在那之后，你可以优先考虑你的支出，确保你每月储蓄或投资一部分)”介绍有效分配收入的具体步骤，空处应该介绍这些步骤的第一步，因此C项“Start by listing all your monthly earnings (首先列出你所有的月收入)”符合语境，承前启后。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Opening a savings account is a practical way to start managing your money effectively. (开一个储蓄账户是一种开始有效管理你的钱的实用方法)”表明开设储蓄账户的重要性，后文“Most banks offer student savings accounts that come with low or no monthly fees and require a small minimum balance. (大多数银行都提供学生储蓄账户，每月收费很低或没有，而且要求的最低余额很小)”介绍学生储蓄账户的优势，空处应该是说明开设储蓄账户的好处，因此F项“It teaches you how to manage your income and allows you to save money (它教会你如何管理收入并让你存钱)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的It指代前文的Opening a savings account。故选F。 【19题详解】 后文“Before you can effectively manage your money, you need to understand where it’s going. Keeping a daily or weekly log of your purchases, no matter how small, gives you a clear picture of your spending habits. (在你能有效地管理你的钱之前，你需要了解它的去向。每天或每周记录你的消费，无论多么小，都能让你清楚地了解自己的消费习惯)”主要建议记录自己的消费，了解自己的消费习惯，空处是段落标题，应该是总的建议了解消费习惯，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Track your spending habits (追踪你的消费习惯)”符合语境，契合该段内容，其中的spending habits在后文有同词复现。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Needs are essentials such as food and shelter, while wants are things like entertainment or designer clothes. (“需求”是必需品，比如食物和住所，而“欲望”是娱乐或名牌服装)”介绍需求和欲望的概念，后文“When budgeting, a helpful rule to follow is the 50/30/20 rule: 50% of your income should go to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings. (在做预算时，一个有用的规则是50/30/20规则：你收入的50%应该用于需求，30%用于欲望，20%用于储蓄)”介绍如何根据需求和欲望来合理分配收入，因此G项“Distinguishing between the two will help you make smarter spending choices (区分这两者将帮助你做出更明智的消费选择)”符合语境，说明区分需求和欲望的意义，承前启后，其中的the two指代前文提到的Needs和wants。故选G。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Heroic 12-year-old Dwight Winbush saved his mother after they dropped into a pond.

She had no family around and lived alone. Evan befriended her when she helped him cross the street one day. While Evan stood by the roadside, smiling, Mrs. Carter turned around and saw him looking in her shop’s direction. She waved hello to him, and he ran up to her. “Hello. I feel like I have seen you around here!” she said, smiling. “What is your name?” she asked, trying hard to remember. Evan said, “Hello, I’m Evan. I remember you, Mrs. Carter. You helped me cross the street one day. Thank you for that!” “Now I remember! So how can I help you today, young man? Do you want flowers?” Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please employ me?” The old woman laughed. “Don’t you think you are a little young for that, son?” “Surely not!” Evan told her proudly. “I’m 8 years old, and I know many things that my mom taught me!” “Oh, did she?” Mrs. Carter laughed at the boy’s innocence (天真). “Suppose I employ you, Evan,” she said. “How much do I have to pay you?” Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom! Her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you please employ me?” Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. For a whole week, Evan would come to her shop in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around made Mrs. Carter less bored while working. Some customers thought Evan was adorable and entertaining, so they bought more flowers, and Mrs. Carter’s business was thriving (繁荣). A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter made a huge bouquet with an envelope secretly for Evan’s mother. After collecting the bouquet he had earned through his hard work, Evan waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter and dashed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. His mom, Stacey, was shocked. The bouquet was huge and looked expensive. Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it from. “Evan? Where did you get the money for this?” Stacey asked, worried. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a big smile on his face, Evan told his mom the whole story. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Evan looked at the envelope, he thought of Mrs. Carter immediately. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With a big smile on his face, Evan told his mom the whole story. Evan described how he met Mrs. Carter, how she offered him a job to earn a bouquet, and how he worked hard for a week at her flower shop. Hearing her 8-year-old say such things, Stacey couldn’t hold back her ears and hugged him tightly. She was proud of her son’s determination and hard work. “Thank you for caring for me, darling. I love you so much!” Evan smiled and was about to give her the bouquet when he suddenly noticed something. “Oh wait, Mom! There’s something inside…” When Evan looked at the envelope, he thought of Mrs. Carter immediately. Evan and his mom opened the envelope and a ticket to the City Art Museum dropped. They thought Mrs. Carter must have made this by mistake, so they decided to return it. When Evan and his mom arrived at Mrs. Carter’s shop the next morning and explained their purpose, the old lady smiled and said that she didn’t leave it by mistake, explaining that it was a gift for the mother’s birthday, with which she could relax herself. Evan and his mom were moved by Mrs. Carter’s kindness. To return her kindness, they invited Mrs. Carter for dinner that night, and they celebrated Stacey’s birthday together. Mrs. Carter’s support meant a lot to Evan and his mom and they also made Mrs. Carter feel the warmth of home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了85岁独自卖花的Carter夫人因为帮助8岁的Evan过马路而认识了这个孩子，Evan为给妈妈的生日挣来花束向Carter夫人求职，Carter夫人被打动雇佣了他。一周后Evan拿到花束给了妈妈惊喜，妈妈得知缘由后很骄傲。之后他们发现花束中的信封有博物馆门票，本以为Carter夫人放错了，结果Carter夫人解释这是给Evan妈妈的礼物。Evan和妈妈被感动，邀请Carter夫人共进晚餐庆祝生日，彼此感受到温暖。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Evan脸上带着灿烂的笑容，把整个故事告诉了妈妈”和第二段首句中的“信封”可知，第一段可描写Evan叙述自己努力工作挣来花束的经过，妈妈听后非常感动，对Evan表达感谢和爱，以及Evan发现花束里有个信封。 ②由第二段首句内容“Evan看了看信封，立刻想到了Carter太太”可知，第二段可描写Evan和妈妈发现信封里的东西，以为Carter太太放错了，前去退还，结果Carter太太告知这是她给Evan妈妈的礼物，Evan和妈妈很感动，邀请Carter太太一同庆祝生日。 2. 续写线索：Evan告诉妈妈整个故事——Evan叙述事情经过——妈妈表达感谢，Evan发现信封——Evan想到Carter太太——两人退还信封，Carter太太解释情况——共同庆祝生日 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①描述：describe/give an account of/recount ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③看到：notice/spot/catch sight of ④解释：explain/clarify/explicate 情绪类 ①决心：determination/resolution ②打动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1] Evan described how he met Mrs. Carter, how she offered him a job to earn a bouquet, and how he worked hard for a week at her flower shop.

B Jeff Kromrey, 69, will sit down with his daughter the next time she visits and show her how to access his online accounts if he has an unexpected health crisis. Gayle Williams, 69, plans to tackle a project she’s been putting off for months: organizing all her financial information. These seniors have been inspired to take these actions by an innovative course for such “solo agers”: Aging Alone Together, offered by Dorot, a social services agency in New York City. More than 1,000 people have participated in the program since it was launched in 2021. Dorot is working with partners across the country to expand its reach. The program consists of six 90-minute, interactive weekly sessions that focus on the seniors’ key concerns: building communities of support, figuring out where to live, completing advance care directives such as living wills, and getting financial and legal affairs in order. The program is to help participants overcome fear and hesitation when planning for their uncertain futures. Practical tools, advice, and resources are provided to motivate people to take action. Additionally, it aims to develop a sense of community that promotes a “can do” attitude. As Nisen emphasized, “Solo aging doesn’t mean aging alone; instead, it means planning for the future.” That message moved Davis deeply, a single artist in Manhattan, who is facing the challenge of finding meaningful activities as arthritis (关节炎) limits his ability to paint. Despite having long-term care insurance and a rent-regulated apartment with an elevator, he feels lonely without his artistic pursuits (追求). “There are days that go by when I don’t say a word to anyone,” Davis admitted. “I have my friends, but they have their own lives, with their children and grandchildren. I’m turning to Dorot for more social contact. And Aging Alone Together has helped me focus on the here and now.” 4. Why does the author mention Jeff Kromrey and Gayle Williams in paragraph 1? A. To introduce Dorot’s program. B. To illustrate the daily life of the elderly. C. To highlight family ties. D. To show the significance of a course. 5. What is one goal of Aging Alone Together? A. To donate money regularly to seniors. B. To guide seniors to embrace loneliness. C. To encourage seniors to plan for the future. D. To help seniors overcome the fear of living alone. 6. What is Davis’ attitude towards Aging Alone Together? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Challenges of Aging Alone B. Approaches to Overcoming Loneliness C. Dorot’s Initiative: Finding Balance in Solo Aging D. Empowering Seniors: Aging Alone Together Program C Research shows that when social media use is high, depression is also high. But the question is — is that because social media causes that person to be depressed? Or is it because people who are depressed tend to also use social media more, and spend less time exercising and being in green spaces? “That is what we wanted to understand,” says Carol Vidal, the first author of the study, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. In their study, 376 young adults in Canada were asked to complete three online questionnaires between May 2021 and January 2022. At each point, participants self-reported depressive symptoms based on the PHQ-9 — a nine-item scale (表) that is commonly used to measure depression — as well as social media use, green space exposure, and physical activity. Researchers found that participants who had higher social media use tended to be more depressed, and people who were more depressed also tended to use social media more. However, researchers found that social media use did not cause an increase or decrease in depressive symptom levels over time. Researchers also found that higher levels of social media use and higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with lower levels of green space exposure. In addition, higher eveningness was also associated with higher depressive symptom levels. One study author says these results show social media use and depression are associated, but do not provide evidence that greater social media use predicts an increase in depressive symptoms over time. Other professionals in the team also say these findings indicate people who suffer from depression should be careful about the amount of time they spend on social media and should be encouraged to integrate other healthy habits into their lifestyle. Vidal and other investigators believe there are many aspects to social media, and there are important next steps to learn more about its impact on the mental health of people of all ages, including younger children and adolescents. 8. Why did Carol Vidal conduct the study? A. To explore how depression affects social media use. B. To investigate if green spaces benefit mental health. C. To find the link between social media and depression. D. To determine why social media contributes to depression. 9. How did the researchers measure depression in the study? A. By using a nine-item form called PHQ-9. B. By observing the participants’ daily behavior. C. By asking the participants’ friends and families. D. By analyzing the participants’ social media posts. 10. What do the researchers advise people with depression to do? A. Avoid using mobile phones. B. Develop healthy eating habits. C. Seek professional help regularly. D. Cut down the time on social media. 11. What does the follow-up study aim to find out? A. The types of social media. B. The influence of social media on mental health. C. The popularity of social media among younger children. D. Effective ways to limit social media use among the youth. D Companies may unintentionally hurt their sales by including the words “artificial intelligence (AI)” when describing their offerings that use the technology, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers. In the study, published in the Journal of Hospitality Marketing & Management, researchers conducted experimental surveys with more than 1,000 adults in the U.S. to evaluate (评估) the relationship between AI inclusion and consumer behavior. The findings consistently showed products described as using AI were less popular, according to Mesut Cicek, clinical assistant professor of marketing and lead author of the study. “When AI is mentioned, it tends to lower emotional trust, which in turn reduces purchase intentions,” he said. “We found emotional trust plays a critical role in how consumers view AI-powered products.” In the experiments the researchers included questions and descriptions across diverse product and service categories. For example, in one experiment, participants were presented with similar descriptions of smart televisions. The only difference was that the term AI was included for one group and omitted for the other. The group that saw AI included in the product description indicated they were less likely to purchase the television. Researchers also discovered that negative response to AI inclusion was even stronger for “high-risk” products and services, those which people commonly feel more uncertain or anxious about buying, such as expensive electronics, medical devices or financial services. Because failure carries more risk, which may include money loss or danger to physical safety, mentioning AI for these types of descriptions may make consumers more careful and less likely to purchase, according to Cicek. “We tested the effect across eight different product and service categories, and the results were all the same,” Cicek said. Cicek said the findings provide valuable insights for companies. “Marketers should carefully consider how they present AI in their product descriptions or develop strategies to increase emotional trust. Emphasizing AI may not always be beneficial, particularly for high-risk products, and mainly focus on describing the features or benefits,” he said. 12. What is the primary focus of the study? A. Why consumers fail to trust AI. B. How AI affects product sales. C. Why Al is considered innovative. D. How AI impacts companies’ strategies. 13. What does the underlined word “omitted” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A Removed. B. Added. C. Repeated. D. Highlighted. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The risk of financial loss is the biggest concern from consumers. B. Consumers are more careful when AI is used in high-risk products. C. Researchers tested the effect of AI mainly on expensive electronics. D. This is the first time for people to test AI’s effect in service categories. 15. What should companies do according to Cicek? A. Highlight AI only for low-risk products. B. Improve the product quality to attract customers. C. Enhance consumers’ emotional trust in products. D. Avoid mentioning AI in their product descriptions. 第二节（共5小题；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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Managing personal finances is an essential life skill.

She had no family around and lived alone. Evan befriended her when she helped him cross the street one day. While Evan stood by the roadside, smiling, Mrs. Carter turned around and saw him looking in her shop’s direction. She waved hello to him, and he ran up to her. “Hello. I feel like I have seen you around here!” she said, smiling. “What is your name?” she asked, trying hard to remember. Evan said, “Hello, I’m Evan. I remember you, Mrs. Carter. You helped me cross the street one day. Thank you for that!” “Now I remember! So how can I help you today, young man? Do you want flowers?” Evan smiled, “I’m looking for a job! Can you please employ me?” The old woman laughed. “Don’t you think you are a little young for that, son?” “Surely not!” Evan told her proudly. “I’m 8 years old, and I know many things that my mom taught me!” “Oh, did she?” Mrs. Carter laughed at the boy’s innocence (天真). “Suppose I employ you, Evan,” she said. “How much do I have to pay you?” Evan shook his head. “All I want is a big bouquet (花束) for my mom! Her birthday is one week away. Mom says we should work hard for what we want. I want to work hard for that bouquet. Can you please employ me?” Mrs. Carter was impressed and nodded. For a whole week, Evan would come to her shop in the evenings and help her, and having Evan around made Mrs. Carter less bored while working. Some customers thought Evan was adorable and entertaining, so they bought more flowers, and Mrs. Carter’s business was thriving (繁荣). A week later, on Evan’s last day on the job, Mrs. Carter made a huge bouquet with an envelope secretly for Evan’s mother. After collecting the bouquet he had earned through his hard work, Evan waved goodbye to Mrs. Carter and dashed home to surprise his mom. “Happy birthday, Mom!” he cried, running up to her. His mom, Stacey, was shocked. The bouquet was huge and looked expensive. Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it from. “Evan? Where did you get the money for this?” Stacey asked, worried. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a big smile on his face, Evan told his mom the whole story. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Evan looked at the envelope, he thought of Mrs. Carter immediately. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
