Unit 3 The world online (译林版2020必修第三册) 单元话题阅读精练(阅读理解15篇+七选五5篇) Ⅰ阅读理解 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·甘肃·期末）Common Sense Media (媒体), a group that helps children, parents and teachers better understand media and technology, did a study. It paid attention to all kinds of activities about media, from old ways like reading and listening to the radio, to new favorites like using social media and video chatting. More than 2,600 teens were surveyed. Here are some truths and myths (荒诞的说法) the study found: Truth 1: Some teens spend too much time looking at screens. One in five teens use more than six hours of screen media each day, and 18% of teens are looking at their screens for more than 10 hours a day. Often they watch television on one while chatting with friends on another. Myth 1: This is the end of reading. The average(平均的) time young people spend reading, either in print or on a screen, is only 30 minutes a day. However, teens who took the survey say reading is one of their favorite activities. Truth 2: Boys prefer video games; girls prefer social media. Among teen boys, 71% enjoy playing video games, twice as many as teen girls. And while more than 25% of teen boys list playing video games as their favorite media activity, only 2% of teen girls do. What’s more, teen girls spend about 40 minutes more each day on social media than boys do. Myth 2: TV and music have been muscled out (强行逐出). For teens, TV is still the top media activity. They enjoy it the most and watch it every day. In fact, 47% of teens have TV sets in their bedrooms. For teens, music is the main form of amusement. However, only about a third listen to music on the radio. Most teens listen on their smartphones. 1．What can we learn from Truth 1? A．Teens prefer to watch TV rather than chat with friends. B．Teen boys spend more time on screens than teen girls. C．20% of teens spend more than 6 hours on screens a day. D．Teens spend too much time chatting with friends online. 2．What percent of teen girls enjoy playing video games? A．About 2%. B．About 25%. C．About 35%. D．About 70%. 3．What can we learn from Myth 2? A．TV and music have been muscled out. B．Most teens hope to have their own smartphones. C．More than half teens have TV sets in their bedrooms. D．It’s popular for teens to listen to music on smartphones. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。Common Sense Media做了一项对青少年生活中的传播媒介使用情况的调查，得出的一些事实和错误观念。 1．细节理解题。根据Truth 1: Some teens spend too much time looking at screens.中的“One in five teens use more than six hours of screen media each day, and 18% of teens are looking at their screens for more than 10 hours a day.(五分之一的青少年每天使用超过6小时的屏幕媒体，18%的青少年每天看屏幕的时间超过10小时)”可知，五分之一（20%）的青少年每天花在屏幕上的时间超过六个小时。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Truth 2: Boys prefer video games; girls prefer social media.中的“Among teen boys, 71% enjoy playing video games, twice as many as teen girls.(在青少年中，71%的男孩喜欢玩电子游戏，是女孩的两倍)”可知在十几岁的男孩之中，有71%喜欢玩电子游戏，是女孩的两倍，因此喜欢玩电子游戏的女孩大约35%。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据Myth 2: TV and music have been muscled out(强行逐出).中的“For teens, TV is still the top media activity. They enjoy it the most and watch it every day. In fact, 47% of teens have TV sets in their bedrooms. For teens, music is the main form of amusement. However, only about a third listen to music on the radio. Most teens listen on their smartphones.(对于青少年来说，电视仍然是他们最喜欢的媒体活动。他们最喜欢看，每天都看。事实上，47%的青少年在卧室里有电视机。对青少年来说，音乐是主要的娱乐形式。然而，只有大约三分之一的人在收音机上听音乐。大多数青少年用智能手机听音乐)”可知，音乐是主要的娱乐形式，大多数青少年用智能手机听音乐。即，青少年很流行用智能手机听音乐。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏苏州·期末）It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But with new crazes becoming popular all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow (枕头) as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. A painful developmental story lies behind the behaviour. People share too much because they have been too lonely. But they fail to understand the risks resulting from it. Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学), says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that more negative experiences will be attracted if shared more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post online, the more socially attractive we become on condition that the posts we share are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said we should avoid complaining too much and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much. 4．Which of the following is a kind of oversharing? A．Disclosing personal details quickly at a party. B．Discussing our feelings online. C．Sharing our toys with kids unselfishly. D．Recording our feelings in the diary. 5．Why do people share too much according to Carolyn Cole? A．To satisfy their psychological needs. B．To overcome the sense of failure. C．To show their feeling of sympathy. D．To develop a painful story. 6．What do you know about sadfishing? A．It is an idea of sharing positive experiences. B．It is generally thought of as a cry for help. C．It is seen as a positive way to seek help. D．It is intended to attract sympathy. 7．What does the underlined sentence imply in Paragraph 4? A．People having good love lives are too busy to post online. B．Sharing photos and texts about love lives makes sense. C．People won’t have successful love if posting it online. D．Good love lives shouldn’t be shared on social media. 【答案】4．A 5．A 6．D 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在社交媒体上过度分享的现象，指出过度分享可能源于心理需求，但会带来风险，同时提醒应该避免发布哪种内容的帖子。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. (过度分享已经与社交媒体联系在一起，但并不是社交媒体独有的现象。想象一下，你去参加一个聚会，遇到了一个人。在五分钟内，他们就透露了自己生活的非常详细的信息)”可知，在派对上快速透露个人详细信息是一种过度分享的行为。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. (根据婚姻专家Carolyn Cole的说法，虽然我们中的一些人可能会试图逃离这些人，但这种过度分享的形式可能来自想要接近某人的强烈愿望)”可知，Carolyn Cole认为人们过度分享可能是为了满足想要接近他人的心理需求。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. (似乎卖惨，即通过过度分享来寻求同情的想法，通常被认为是消极的，而不是寻求帮助)”可知，卖惨是为了吸引同情。故选D项。 7．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? (我们也应该避免炫耀，尤其是我们的爱情生活。这是有道理的——如果你们的爱情生活“那么顺利”，你们真的有时间用文字分享一张照片吗)”可推知，此处先提到应避免炫耀爱情生活，然后用反问的修辞手法暗示，那些拥有美好爱情生活的人太忙了，没有时间在网上发帖。故选A项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·湖南长沙·期末）Recent research reveals the harmful mental health effects caused by social media use, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal (与自杀相关的) tendencies and self-harm. Adolescents who spend more than three hours per day on social media face twice the risk of poor mental health outcomes. Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible — have dramatically raised the risk to young users’ well-being and made our children addicted to these social media outlets. In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled and hospitalization for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents. Instead of responding to the problem, social media have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the results have been catastrophic. Beyond the direct harm of social media addiction, the collection of children’s data by these giant companies puts our kids at huge risk, leaving them vulnerable (易受伤害的) by having their location and other personal data tracked, shared and sold online. As a consequence, that data is at greater risk of falling into the wrong hands — including. human traffickers, identity thieves and others who might prey on (坑害) young people. We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media mega-corporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children’s pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our fingertips to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse. 8．What can we learn about addictive feeds? A．They are food that can easily satisfy people. B．They are Internet content that can get people addicted. C．They are kept on the platform just for a short period of time. D．They are personal data stored on the Internet for convenience. 9．Which word can best replace the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4? A．destructive B．positive C．unique D．effective 10．Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics such as “suicide rates for 10 - to 14-year-old girls doubled”? A．To create an emotional response in the reader. B．To show how effective social media has become at keeping users engaged. C．To offer a balanced view of the effects of social media on young people. D．To provide evidence that supports the argument about social media’s harmful effects. 11．What can we learn from the last paragragh? A．It emphasizes the author’s support for social media companies. B．It describes positive effects of social media on children’s well-being. C．It explains how social media companies can address the mental health issues. D．It calls for increased control on social media companies to protect young users. 【答案】8．B 9．A 10．D 11．D 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要叙述了最近的研究表明，使用社交媒体会对心理健康造成有害影响，包括抑郁、焦虑、自杀倾向和自残的比例增加，揭示了青少年使用社交媒体的现状和危害，呼吁人们采取行动加以应对。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible(成瘾饲料——旨在利用个人数据来增强用户内容，使他们尽可能长时间地留在平台上)”可知，成瘾饲料是指能够让人们上瘾的网络内容。故选B。 9．词句猜测题。根据第三段“In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled and hospitalization for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents.(在引入成瘾饲料后的头七年里，10至14岁女孩的自杀率增加了一倍，所有青少年因自杀倾向和自杀未遂而住院的人数增加了近一倍)”和划线词所在句“Instead of responding to the problem, social media have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the results have been catastrophic.(社交媒体没有对这个问题做出回应，而是付出了巨大的努力来保持和吸引用户的参与，结果是catastrophic。)”可知，社交媒体并未对于青少年的自杀现象做出回应，却努力保持、吸引客户，这个后果是灾难性的，划线词与destructive(破坏性的，毁灭性的)意思相近。故选A。 10．推理判断题。根据第二段“Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible — have dramatically raised the risk to young users’ well-being and made our children addicted to these social media outlets.(成瘾饲料——旨在利用个人数据强化用户的内容，使他们尽可能长时间地留在平台上——极大地增加了年轻用户健康的风险，并使我们的孩子沉迷于这些社交媒体。)”可知，作者在第三段提出了“suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled”之类的数据，是为了提供证据支持关于社交媒体有害影响的论点。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media mega-corporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children’s pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our fingertips to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse.(我们不会坐视社交媒体巨头之间的军备竞赛，看谁能最大限度地从我们孩子的痛苦和成瘾中获利。这就是为什么我们应该使用并且正在使用我们手边的一切工具来反击这些破坏性的做法：从法院到州议会。)”可知，该段呼吁采取一切手段，加强对社交媒体公司的控制，以保护年轻用户，避免其受到伤害。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·广西玉林·期末）The messages always start with something like, “Hey, I’m so sorry but…” Something has suddenly come up — a terrible headache or a pet cat having a problem. The person I have made plans with isn't going to make it. At this point I’m usually dressed, about to walk out the door, or even on my way. However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too. But over the past year, my friends and I have started to realize that people are flaking out more often. When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don’t show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?” Think of that person in your friend group who always can’t arrive on time. That may be more common among some personality types. For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. Another type is what psychologists (心理学家) call conscientiousness or responsibility. People who have no conscientiousness are bad at planning things or don’t follow through — in other words, flake out. Flaking out has got more common in the last decade. Research shows it’s just easier to flake out in the age of technology. Distance can allow people to lie to others. When you don’t want to follow the plan, it’s easier to send a message to someone to cancel the plan than to tell them over the phone. Being flaked out on in this way can make you feel that they are treating you as if you didn’t have thoughts or feelings. So next time someone flakes out by sending you a text message, you can turn to Gray, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina, who has something to share with you to help you deal with the situation. 12．Why does the author take no notice when others cancel the plan? A．They have made apologies. B．It doesn’t have any bad influences. C．Sometimes he has to do the same thing. D．The plan isn’t important and can be changed. 13．What is an example of flaking out according to the text? A．Sending a message to say sorry. B．Cancelling a plan with an excuse. C．Being late for a party on purpose. D．Dealing with other important things. 14．Which of the following can best describe the people who flake out? A．Busy and active. B．Lazy and dishonest. C．Careless and impatient D．Iresponsible and self-centred. 15．What is the best title for the text? A．The Influence of Flaking Out. B．How to Prevent Cancelling Plans. C．The Reasons for Flaking Out. D．How to Get Along with Others. 【答案】12．C 13．B 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普遍存在的食言现象，并分析了这种现象出现的原因。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too.(但是，我通常不在乎。有时我也必须取消计划。)”可知，作者不在乎别人取消了计划，是因为作者有时候也不得不取消计划，故选C。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don't show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?”(当人们爽约——在最后一刻取消计划或者干脆不出现时，我们脑海中浮现的第一个问题是“为什么？”或者“是不是有更大的事情？”)”可知，faking out指的是以借口取消计划，故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段“When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don't show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?”(当人们爽约——在最后一刻取消计划或者干脆不出现时，我们脑海中浮现的第一个问题是“为什么？”或者“是不是有更大的事情？”)”可知，食言的人在最后一刻取消计划，这说明他们不可靠，没有责任感的；根据第三段“For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. (对于这些人来说，他们似乎对别人的感受几乎没有意义。)”可知，食言的人不考虑他人感受，所以说他们是以自我为中心的，故选D。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先指出食言的现象普遍存在，然后介绍了产生这种现象的两个原因：即一个人的性格类型和科技时代下人们更容易找借口，由此可知，C项“食言的原因”适合作文章标题，故选C。 Passage 5 （24-25高一上·吉林长春·期末）Museums have regained their popularity among young people because of social media, but one person shared on Twitter that people shouldn’t use such ways for their photos. Milo Atienza Parada, an Instagram user, said that people have been going to museums for the sake of taking selfies(自拍)to be posted on their social media. Although there is nothing wrong with it, he still thinks that museums are places of art appreciation(欣赏). Last month, the National Museum of the Philippines opened its newest building to the public — the National Museum of Natural History. It houses the country’s collections of plants and animals. According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos. “For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks, taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.” But some museums are now accepting the selfie phenomenon(现象). The Artists’ Network shared that the popularity of selfies is an important factor in making people visit museums. The Frick Collection in New York City allows people to take selfies with the artworks. “If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said. 16．Why is Parada against taking selfies in museums? A．It may put pressure on museum management. B．It affects the popularity of social media sites. C．It may take people’s focus away from artworks. D．It damages artworks that should avoid flash photography. 17．What can be learned about the mentioned museum from Paragraph 2? A．Many visitors are blind to its rules. B．Many visitors disagree with its rules. C．It should set up some photo-taking areas. D．It needs to spend more on protecting artworks. 18．According to Paragraph 4, taking selfies in museums can ________ A．leave some special memories for visitors B．offer a new chance to express people’s creativity C．draw people’s attention to the protection of artworks D．promote the artworks and the museums to the public 19．What is the text mainly about? A．The influences of social media on the changes in museums. B．Some benefits and harm of taking selfies in museums. C．Some common behaviors among visitors to museums. D．Different creative ideas for taking selfies in different museums. 【答案】16．C 17．A 18．D 19．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体对博物馆参观行为的影响，包括自拍现象在博物馆中的普及、不同博物馆对自拍行为的不同态度以及自拍对博物馆参观体验和宣传的影响。 16．细节理解题。根据文章第三段““For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks, taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.”(“对于那些只想欣赏艺术品的参观者来说，自拍行为会打扰到他们，”Parada说，“当看到有人与他们想要欣赏的伟大艺术品自拍时，他们会感到恼火。”)”可知，Parada认为对于只想欣赏艺术品的参观者来说，自拍行为打扰到了他们，使人们的注意力从艺术品上转移开，所以他反对在博物馆自拍。故选C。 17．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos.(根据其脸书帖子内容，参观者不允许拍照，也不允许拍摄视频或触摸馆内展品。然而，Parada注意到，很多人在参观时会触摸艺术品。此外，博物馆已沦为一个拍照之地。)”可知，该博物馆在脸书上发布规定，参观者不允许拍照、拍视频或触摸展品。然而很多参观者在参观时触摸艺术品且将博物馆当作拍照之地，无视了博物馆的规定。故选A。 18．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said.(“如果他们在社交媒体上分享这些照片，博物馆将获得备受赞赏的“口碑”效应。在网上搜索关于博物馆自拍的信息，你会惊讶地发现人们将自己与艺术和历史展品融合在一起的各种有趣方式。这会促使其他人亲自前来参观这些博物馆，” 弗里克收藏馆的公关总监Heidi Rosenau说道。)”可知，如果人们在社交媒体上分享在博物馆自拍的照片，博物馆会得到口碑传播，吸引其他人亲自来参观，这说明在博物馆自拍能向公众宣传艺术品和博物馆。故选D。 19．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章前半部分通过 Parada 的观点阐述了在博物馆自拍的弊端，如影响他人欣赏艺术品等；后半部分指出一些博物馆接受自拍现象，因其能通过社交媒体宣传博物馆，带来积极影响，所以文章主要讲的是在博物馆自拍的一些好处与坏处。故选B。 Passage 6 In the old days — say, the 1980s — if you bought a piece of technology, a paperback user guide came with it. It was the manufacturer’s one big chance to explain its engineers’ thinking to you, to communicate what the designers and marketers had in mind. Supplying documentation seemed, at the time, like a good idea all around. Mastery made customers happy, and happy customers meant repeat sales. But there were other forces at play. Printing and binding took time and money — and customers didn’t seem to be reading user manuals. Over time, therefore, physical manuals began disappearing from our hardware and software boxes. Maybe you’d get a Quick Start leaflet, but the rest was online. Online, you can search for certain terms, find topics faster and post questions for other people. Online communities and answer sites sprang up. Mini tutorials on the Internet began showing you how to perform a task. And it’s all free. Meanwhile the kind of technologies we use has changed. “People increasingly spend time in apps and social sites that have a fairly simple interface (界面),” Tim O’Reilly told me. (He’s founder of O’Reilly Media, which publishes my own how-to books. )You don’t need a manual to use Google. That was the beginning of the end for physical manuals. In principle, the death of professionally prepared support materials shouldn’t be any cause for concern. It’s just another big change caused by the Internet, another in the list of casualties, such as printed encyclopedias, newspaper classified ads and music on discs. In reality, though, none of the tech industry’s teaching channels, whether physical or online, is universal and effective. To this day, it’s astonishing how little we know about our phones, computers and software. A Microsoft product manager once told me that most feature requests the company gets for Microsoft Office are, in fact, already features of Microsoft Office. Hardware and software makers still operate with their traditional business model: Every year or so they sell us a new version, whose appeal is supposed to be more features. And so, as time goes by, our devices and apps become more and more complex — but access to documentation remains limited and incomplete. In the fantasy version of our world, designers would make our tech products simple enough, their important features obvious enough, for the masses to figure out on their own. Until then, there will be a growing information gap between the features we want and the engineering work that’s already been done. 20．The word “casualties” (paragraph 6) is closest in meaning to___________. A．causes B．manuals C．industries D．victims 21．Why did the author mention what a Microsoft product manager once told him? A．To criticize the lack of access that we have to complete documentation. B．To reveal the traditional business model that software makers operate with. C．To emphasize that it is a pity that physical manuals are no longer available. D．To illustrate that people actually know little about the tech products they use. 22．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Tech companies’ teaching channels are shrinking as time goes by. B．There is little chance that tech products will soon be simple enough. C．Printed manuals worked better than online versions. D．Consumers of the 1980s loved to read user manuals. 23．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．What Happened to User Manuals? B．How Did Physical Manuals Prosper? C．How Simple Will Our Tech Products Be? D．What Change Has the Internet Brought About? 【答案】20．D 21．D 22．B 23．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕用户手册展开，阐述其发展历程与影响。往昔购买科技产品会配备纸质手册，用于传达设计理念、促进销售，却因成本及用户阅读习惯问题，逐渐被在线资料替代，同时产品界面简化也减少对手册依赖。但当下，无论是纸质还是在线教学渠道都难以有效帮助用户了解产品。制造商不断推出复杂新产品，却缺乏完整说明，致使用户需求与产品实际功能间信息鸿沟渐大，尽管理想是产品简单易用，但目前尚未达成。 20．词义猜测题。根据第六段中“In principle, the death of professionally prepared support materials shouldn’t be any cause for concern.( 原则上，专业准备的支持材料的死亡不应该引起任何担忧)”以及划线单词句中“It’s just another big change caused by the Internet, another in the list of casualties, such as printed encyclopedias, newspaper classified ads and music on discs.( 这不过是互联网带来的又一个巨大变化，是印刷版百科全书、报纸分类广告和光盘音乐等诸多casualties中的又一个)”可知，printed encyclopedias（纸质百科全书）、newspaper classified ads（报纸分类广告）和music on discs（光盘音乐）都因互联网而受到影响，这里的casualties该指的是受互联网影响而受损或消失的事物，即“受害者，牺牲品”，与D选项“victims(受害者)”意思最接近。故选D项。 21．推理判断题。根据第七段“To this day, it’s astonishing how little we know about our phones, computers and software. A Microsoft product manager once told me that most feature requests the company gets for Microsoft Office are, in fact, already features of Microsoft Office.( 直到今天，我们对自己的手机、电脑和软件所知甚少，令人惊讶。一位微软的产品经理曾经告诉我，公司收到的关于微软Office的大多数功能要求实际上已经是微软Office的功能了)”可知，很多用户向微软提出的功能需求，其实在微软办公软件中已经存在，这说明人们对自己使用的科技产品了解甚少，作者提及此事是为了阐述这一点。故选D项。 22．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the fantasy version of our world, designers would make our tech products simple enough. their important features obvious enough, for the masses to figure out on their own. Until then, there will be a growing information gap between the features we want and the engineering work that’s already been done.( 在我们幻想的世界里，设计师会让我们的科技产品足够简单。它们的重要特征足够明显，大众可以自己弄清楚。在那之前，我们想要的功能和已经完成的工程工作之间的信息差距将会越来越大)”可知，使科技产品足够简单只是一种幻想，在那之前，人们想要的功能和已完成的工程工作之间的信息差距会越来越大。由此可推断出科技产品短期内不太可能变得足够简单。故选B项。 23．主旨大意题。根据文章大意，以及第一段中“In the old days—say, the 1980s—if you bought a piece of technology, a paperback user guide came with it.( 在过去，比如20世纪80年代，如果你买了一项技术，就会附带一本平装本的用户指南)”和第三段“Over time, therefore, physical manuals began disappearing from our hardware and software boxes. Maybe you’d get a Quick Start leaflet, but the rest was online.( 因此，随着时间的推移，物理手册开始从我们的硬件和软件盒中消失。也许你会得到一份快速入门的传单，但其余的都在网上)”可知，文章开篇讲述过去购买科技产品会附带纸质用户手册，接着阐述随着时间推移，纸质手册逐渐消失的原因，以及现在无论是纸质还是在线的技术支持资料都存在不足，围绕用户手册展开讨论，A选项“What Happened to User Manuals?（用户手册怎么了？）”能很好地概括文章内容，作为标题最合适。故选A项。 Passage 7 （24-25高一上·广东梅州·期末）No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant? According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented (辅助) rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered? Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns. Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans. As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does.” Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity. 24．What may be affected most by AI? A．Managing human resources. B．Reporting taxes. C．Selling new products. D．Making decisions. 25．What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with? A．We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B．We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact. C．Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D．Employing Al in life is effortless. 26．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．AI’s outlook. B．AI’s development. C．AI’s application. D．AI’s advantage. 27．Which is the best title for the passage? A．How to get over people’s fears on AI? B．How to explore human emotions AI affects? C．How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces? D．How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI? 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能(AI)的发展对工作的影响，以及人们应如何适应这一变化以保持在职场中的相关性。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.(Joc Apfelbaum在他的课程中教授如何使用人工智能，他说，最危险的工作是那些使用人工智能可以更快、更便宜地完成的过程，比如制造产品或申报税款)”可知，申报税款这类工作最有可能受到人工智能的影响。故选B项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.(Joc Apfelbaum在他的课程中教授如何使用人工智能，他说，最危险的工作是那些使用人工智能可以更快、更便宜地完成的过程，比如制造产品或申报税款)”可知，Apfelbaum认为最受影响的是那些可以被人工智能更快更便宜地完成的工作，但并没有说人工智能会完全取代所有工作；根据第四段中“Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. ‘We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.’(创始人兼教育家Shannan Monson表示，前景并没有那么糟糕。“洗碗机发明后，我们并没有停止洗碗。我们只是洗得更快、更容易，而且省力。”)”可知，Monson认为前景并没有那么糟糕，人工智能不会完全代替人类工作。由此可推知，Apfelbaum和Monson都认为我们不必过分高估人工智能的影响。故选B项。 26．词句猜测题。根据指代关系和划线词所在句“As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage.(随着人工智能的发展，它的应用可能不像我们想象的那么快。但那些迅速精通它的人更有优势)”可知，指示代词it指代的是前文提到的“its application”，即“人工智能的应用”。故选C项。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant?(无论你对此有何感想。人工智能已经来了。那么，哪些类型的工作最危险?保持与时俱进的最佳方式是什么?)”和最后一段“Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. ‘Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader’ Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity.(专家们一致认为，显然，人类的技能将仍然是最有价值的。人类在这方面具有独特的资格，人与人之间的工作将是最难取代的。Monson说：“专注于培养你作为团队成员和团队领导的技能。”Apfelbaum认为，这不仅仅是重新技能的问题，而是人们需要克服恐惧，接受真实的自己，这样他们才能展现出所有的创造力，因为人工智能没有激情和真正的人类创造力)”可知，文章主要讲述了在人工智能时代，人们应如何保持在职场中与时俱进。故D项“How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI?(在人工智能时代，如何在工作中与时俱进？)”是文章内容的概括，最适合作文章标题。故选D项。 Passage 8 （24-25高一上·安徽合肥·期末）Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms. Brain rot has its own vocabulary that includes internet slang like “skibidi toilet” and viral video, such as an old clip of Barron Trump saying “I like my suitcase!” mixed with synth-heavy club music. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who grew up with smartphones and social media, are the primary audience for this content and have popularized the term. Emilie Owens, a doctoral researcher in the University of Oslo, surveyed some high school students about their online consumption habits and attitudes. She found that the teenagers described ridiculous videos on TikTok as “brain rot.” “It’s not like they were discussing a serious condition,” Owens said. “They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.” It’s almost a mark of pride, she said, certifying you as a card-carrying member of a certain generation, or at least clued into their inside joke. “Each generation use their own version of brain rot to do the same thing,” Owens said. “If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.” The phrase brain rot can cause concern and panic about young people and their screen time. But social media users say it implies a certain degree of self-awareness — knowing that you have consumed so much online content that you can understand even the most proper references and jokes. “I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ” 28．What can you learn about “brain rot” according to the first two paragraphs? A．Brain rot has its own textbooks. B．Brain rot originates from Baron Trump. C．Brain rot offers people club music. D．Brain rot is favored by most young people. 29．What did Emilie Owens find in her survey? A．It’s a manner for young people to express something they like online. B．Some high students are addicted to the internet. C．Brain rot has caused some damage to their intelligence. D．Brain rot is a special mark for some youth organizations. 30．Why would some people watch TV series “Friends” and “Desperate Wives” again? A．They are the most popular American TV series around the world. B．Watching American TV series has become a fashion. C．They can get some comfort and relief from such TV series. D．Such TV are better than video games. 31．From Krissy Ryan’s words, what can you infer? A．Brain rot is harmful to young people’s intelligence. B．Brain rot is misunderstood by most of the public. C．Most young people don’t realise brain rot just offers some fun. D．Most contents of brain rot are silent videos. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．C 31．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了“脑腐”现象受到年轻人喜爱，介绍了脑腐产生的原因和治疗方式等。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms.(如今，许多年轻人在各种社交媒体平台上吹嘘自己患有“脑腐病”)”可知，大多数年轻人都喜欢“脑腐”。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.(他们以一种积极的方式使用它来指代他们喜欢看的东西，或者他们用来一起看TikTok的语言)”可知，艾米丽·欧文斯在她的调查中发现这是年轻人在网上表达自己喜欢的东西的一种方式。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段““If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.”(“如果你有一份压力很大的工作，度过了糟糕的一周，你可能真的很期待回家，在沙发上再看一遍《老友记》，或者《绝望主妇》的剧集。”)”可知，有些人会把电视剧《老友记》和《绝望主妇》再看一遍是因为他们可以从这样的电视剧中得到一些安慰和解脱。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ”(“我认为，总的来说，内容消费是一种很大的耻辱，人们认为它让我们变得不那么聪明，”34岁的Krissy Ryan说。她是佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的一名内容创作者，在Facebook和Threads等平台上经营着20多个表情包页面。“但我不这么认为。我们知道，说到底，这些内容是愚蠢的。”)”可知，大多数公众误解了“脑腐”。故选B。 Passage 9 （24-25高一上·安徽亳州·期末）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 (批判性忽略). As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet com-pet e for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can offer us advertisements producing profit. So we are not customers but products, and each connection we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls on us to learn the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure to false 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 (难以抵制的) 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-catching 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 judge the reliability (可靠) of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false in-formation. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, which can be reliable. 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, ignore their bad behaviour. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being harmed by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds. 32．What does the author mean by “we are not customers but products”? A．We produce content for profit. B．We are persuaded to make advertisements. C．We are being used to make money. D．We control the information flow. 33．What does the word “exposure” mean in the context of the passage? A．Display. B．Experience. C．Contact. D．Advertisement. 34．How is the first strategy explained? A．By making a comparison. B．By describing a scene. C．By listing detailed steps. D．By providing scientific ideas. 35．What do we know about the trolls? A．They intend no good. B．They care about honesty. C．They refuse to annoy others. D．They ignore bad behaviour. 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．A 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了互联网时代人们面临的信息过载问题，并介绍了心理学家 Anastasia Kozyreva提出的“批判性忽略”技能。文章指出，在互联网注意力经济中，内容生产者竞相吸引我们的注意，而批判性忽略则能帮助我们控制信息环境，减少接触到虚假信息。Kozyreva提出了三种批判性忽略的策略：设计环境、判断信息可靠性和“不喂食巨魔”，即忽略网络上的恶意传播者。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段“So we are not customers but products, and each connection we click is a sale of our time and attention.(所以我们不是顾客而是产品，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，作者的意思是我们在互联网上点击链接时，我们的时间和注意力被出售，成为了广告商的产品，而不是作为消费者去选择广告。因此，选项C“我们被用来赚钱”正确表达了作者的意思。故选C。 33．词句猜测题。根据第二段“So we are not customers but products, and each connection we click is a sale of our time and attention.(所以我们不是顾客而是产品，我们点击的每一个连接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力)”以及划线词上文“readers can control their information environment to reduce(读者可以控制他们的信息环境来减少……)”以及后文“false information(虚假信息)”可知，读者可以控制自己的信息环境以减少对虚假信息的“接触”。故“exposure”意思是“接触”。故选 C。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.(成功的节食者需要让不健康的食物远离他们的家)”可知，作者举了节食的例子，通过将设计数字环境与减肥做比较来解释第一种策略。故选A。 35．细节理解题。根据第五段“Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm.(喷子是一些在网上传播虚假信息以造成伤害的人)”可知，trolls是指在网络上传播虚假信息以造成伤害的人。因此，他们意图不善。故选A。 Passage 10 （24-25高一上·甘肃兰州·期末）The biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry Rosen, in his book iDisorder, says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing - empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. Sherry Turkle, a professor of Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from their family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”. These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults. 36．What does the underlined word “unfounded” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Undoubted. B．False. C．Acceptable. D．Illegal. 37．What can we learn from the passage? A．The advantages of social media outweigh the disadvantages. B．Young people tend to develop offline friendships. C．Young people can’t go without social media. D．We are becoming unable to understand others well. 38．According to Sherry Turkle, how can we make meaningful friendships with others? A．By getting in touch with online friends. B．By avoiding the problems of social networking. C．By reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves. D．By having discussions with a much more diverse set of people. 39．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Internet culture causes various problems. B．We are losing some most important emotions. C．Online friendships do good to offline friendships. D．Social networking affects young people’s personalities. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了社交网络有助于让我们与比现实世界中更加多元的人交流，提升我们的幸福感，它不会对我们的友谊产生负面影响，但会对我们的性格产生负面影响，所以需要提出建议避免社交网络的问题。 36．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. (对社交网络最大的批评是，我们的年轻人正在让他们的线下朋友被线上朋友夺去。)”可知，目前存在对社交网络的批评，批评的观点认为社交网络会让人们失去线下朋友。以及后文“Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. (皮尤互联网和美国生活项目的研究发现，人们并没有用在线伙伴取代线下的朋友，而是利用他们来支持自己的线下关系。)”可知，研究发现和这些批评的观点并不相符。由此可推测出，这些批评一般来说是没有事实依据的。unfounded意为“不依据事实的”，与B项“错误的，不真实的”意思最接近。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第三段“But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing - empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. (但也许更令人不安的影响是，我们最基本的情感之一——同理心似乎正在消失。这是把我们联系在一起的情感；它让我们从朋友的角度看世界。没有它，我们就很难建立有意义的成人关系。)”可知，我们越来越不能很好地理解别人。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据第四段“But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. (但特克尔认为，独处是一段时间，在这段时间里，我们可以自我反省，了解真正的自己。只有当我们这样做时，我们才能与他人建立有意义的友谊。)”可知，Turkle认为与他人建立有意义的友谊的方式是自我反思并接触自我。故选C。 39．主旨大意题。根据第二段“However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. (然而，社交网络的一个方面令人深感担忧。我们发现自己处于一个高度互联的世界，人们日夜访问社交媒体，兴奋地宣布他们生活中最微小的细节。研究开始表明，这种文化不仅对我们的友谊产生负面影响，而且对我们的性格产生负面影响。)”结合文章主要讲述了社交网络有助于让我们与比现实世界中更加多元的人交流，提升我们的幸福感，它不会对我们的友谊产生负面影响，但会对我们的性格产生负面影响，所以需要提出建议避免社交网络的问题。可知，这篇文章主要讲了社交网络影响年轻人的个性。故选D。 Passage 11 （24-25高一上·贵州遵义·期末）Have you taken a gap day before? It’s a new concept on social media recently, different from a gap year. A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life. Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like city walk, dazi and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused heated discussion. Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm. “For example, the common expression taking a walk is neutral (中性的). Now city walk is the positive version of it, meaning ‘to explore the city with a curious mind’,” Zhou Yaokai, an 18-year-old from China West Normal University, said. “It’s the same with gap day. Instead of lying flat, people are actively trying to balance their stress and life, which is a good approach.” Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is, said Wu Ruilin, an 18-year-old from Chengdu. He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security. For example, as the term dazi gains popularity on social media, some young people are searching for dazi in different life aspects that are normally enjoyed alone or with close friends, like traveling and games. “They may have forgotten and ignored that most dazi are just strangers who share similar interests. That may bring problems for us,” said Wu. Despite different views, they have already taken root in our daily lives. So what we need to do is keep a level head and don’t overemphasize them. 40．What can be concluded about gap day from the text? A．It refreshes people in busy life. B．It is a long vacation for people to relax. C．It went viral several years ago. D．It is a new lifestyle replacing the old one. 41．Why do people prefer these newly-created phrases? A．They could attract people’s attention. B．They are neutral and objective. C．They could rid people of stressful life. D．They show people’s passion for life. 42．What does the underlined phrase “sugaring up” probably mean? A．Covering something against the truth. B．Making something look or sound better. C．Covering something with layers of sugar. D．Making something easier to understand. 43．What does Wu Ruilin think of the new phrases? A．They may cause people to be over-confident. B．They are useful for people to show their creativity. C．They are fancier phrases than they actually are. D．They may mislead people and bring potential risks. 【答案】40．A 41．D 42．B 43．D 【导语】这是一篇议论文，阐述了社交媒体上出现的一些新词汇如“gap day”等引发的热议，有人认为这些新词汇体现人们的积极心态，也有人认为这是一种过度美化，可能带来风险。 40．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life(gap day意味着从日常生活中短暂地放松和逃离。休息之后，人们将继续投入到忙碌的正常生活节奏中)”可知，gap day能让忙碌生活中的人们得到放松。故选A项。 41．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm.(一些人认为这些新短语更好地迎合了人们的心态，显示出他们的热情)”可知，人们喜欢这些新创造的短语是因为它们显示出人们对生活的热情。故选D项。 42．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is(然而，其他人不同意，他们认为这只是一种“sugaring up”，满足某人炫耀的需求。例如，city walk基本上和散步是一样的。但是通过称其为city walk，人们感觉他们正在做比实际更高级的事情)”可知city walk基本上和散步是一样的，但是通过称其为city walk，人们感觉他们正在做比实际更高级的事情，可推理出这里是说这些新词汇让原本普通的事情看起来更好，所以“sugaring up”的意思是使某事看起来或听起来更好。故选B项。 43．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security.(他担心这种华丽辞藻的推广可能掩盖其背后的风险，如安全风险)”可知，Wu Ruilin认为这些新短语可能误导人们并带来潜在风险。故选D项。 Passage 12 （24-25高一上·吉林长春·期末）I never know what to say around other people. Whenever I am in a group of people, I feel like everyone knows what to say and I have no idea. When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged- as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I usually avoid them. People think I am a loner. Maybe I am. Individuals (个体) experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt (打断) others and they say please and thank you when it is proper to do so. They often avoid eye contact, because it makes them feel judged. They feel like others can see how uncomfortable they are. Individuals experiencing these symptoms (症状) are often very intelligent, but their anxiety prevents them from being able to prove this in front of others. Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity (从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do. Becoming an important part of these groups requires that you sacrifice some of your individuality, values, and styles to fit in. Some individuals naturally pick up the patterns of relating to different groups and change themselves accordingly. They leave their individuality behind. For some people, this is automatic (自动的) and they don’t even register that they are changing themselves to fit into groups. However, if you are one of those people who feels disconnected in most social group settings, it may be because your personality refuses conformity. You have trouble liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off. 44．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To compare different types of social groups. B．To explain why some people avoid eye contact C．To introduce hard experience of social anxiety. D．To recommend ways to go for job interviews. 45．What would people do when experiencing social discomfort? A．They pay attention to proper social manners. B．They are eager to stop others judging them. C．They tend to observe what others are doing. D．They try to prove their intelligence. 46．The underlined part “sacrifice” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．accept. B．take down. C．admit. D．give up. 47．What would the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A．We should give up our personality to fit in. B．Not changing ourselves is also a good choice. C．Refusing help will turn you away from friends. D．Conformity is a requirement in the society. 【答案】44．C 45．A 46．D 47．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了社交焦虑者在社交场合中的不适感受、表现，以及融入群体所需的从众行为，同时指出保持自我个性也是一种选择。 44．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I never know what to say around other people. Whenever I am in a group of people, I feel like everyone knows what to say and I have no idea. When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged- as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I usually avoid them. People think I am a loner. Maybe I am.(我不知道在别人面前该说些什么。每当我身处一群人中时，就感觉好像每个人都知道该怎么说，而我却一无所知。当我试着加入谈话或回答问题时，就会感到焦虑。我的心跳开始加速。这种情况在聚会或与家长团体见面时都会发生，但我总感觉自己被别人评判，就好像在接受工作面试一样。我不喜欢这些经历，所以通常都会避免。人们觉得我是个孤僻的人。也许我确实是。)”可推知，可知，第一段的功能是介绍社交焦虑的艰难经历。故选C。 45．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Individuals (个体) experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt (打断) others and they say please and thank you when it is proper to do so.(经历这种社交不适的个体通常很有礼貌和体贴。他们不会打断别人，在适当的时候会说请和谢谢。)”可知，当人们经历社交不适时，他们会注重适当的社交礼仪。故选A。 46．词句猜测题。根据上文“Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity (从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do.(融入大多数人群需要从众。你需要对群体中其他人感兴趣的话题也感兴趣，并且要按照他们的方式去思考和谈论这些话题。)”可知，要成为这些群体中的重要一员，就需要你放弃一些你的个性、价值观和风格来融入其中，由此可知，sacrifice在此处意为“放弃”。故选D。 47．推理判断题。根据最后一段“if you are one of those people who feels disconnected in most social group settings, it may be because your personality refuses conformity. You have trouble liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off.(如果你是在大多数社交群体中感到脱节的人之一，那可能是因为你的个性拒绝从众。你很难喜欢别人喜欢的东西，你不再改变自己的思考方式，以便感觉自己是群体的一部分。也许对你来说，保持自我更好。也许你这样会更好。)”可知，作者认为不改变自己、保持自我也是一个不错的选择。故选B。 Passage 13 （24-25高一上·江苏南京·期末）Recently, Florida and California have both passed laws that limit the use of smartphones in public schools. This move is welcome as they reflect a growing awareness that it is unhealthy for young people to spend all day looking at phones. The laws limiting phone usage, however, tend to be broad, filled with exceptions. At the same time, private schools have pushed ahead with their own rules, which are typically more comprehensive (详尽的) than the well-meaning but ineffective laws made by state governments. Half-hearted laws, especially those that place the burden (负担) on teachers, are almost useless. The enforcement (执行) of these laws often leaves teachers in challenging positions. For example, a teacher told a case where a parent listened to a classroom discussion through their child’s phone and immediately emailed a complaint about the lesson. Young people respond best to rules that are simple, clear and easy to follow. Plus, teachers should not be expected to announce the rules before every class. Strict limitations set clear expectations for students and help them work together better without overburdening already busy teachers. The arguments against strict phone bans (禁令),on the other hand, are unpersuasive (没有说服力). Parents are concerned about locking up phones in case of an emergency, but classroom rules shouldn’t be designed around unlikely disasters. Students are also free to keep low-tech phones for emergency situations. A student from Oregon complained of having trouble finding friends in the lunchroom after her school banned phones. High schoolers who need to get in touch with mom and dad say they’re confused about the school’s old-fashioned rules. The passing of the laws is a hopeful sign that schools are finally waking up to the dangers of smartphone overuse. The perfect treatment, however, is sadly lacking. 48．How are the rules made by private schools different from government laws? A．They sound broader. B．They are ill-meaning. C．They are welcomed by students. D．They produce better results. 49．In paragraph 2, the author mentions the example to explain that ______. A．parents should stop complaining about children’s class B．governments should set clear and direct phone bans C．teachers should carry out strict enforcement of phone use D．students should work together without teachers’ help 50．In paragraph 3, parents are against banning phones because of their children’s ______. A．difficulty in acquiring low-tech phones B．trouble in making friends without phones C．need to use phones in emergency situations D．confusion about schools’ old-fashioned rules 51．What is the author’s attitude towards the laws limiting phone usage? A．Unclear. B．Objective. C．Confused. D．Supportive. 【答案】48．D 49．B 50．C 51．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了佛罗里达州和加利福尼亚州最近都通过了限制在公立学校使用智能手机的法律。文章将法律与学校制定的规则进行了对比，列举了人们对此的不同看法。 48．细节理解题。根据第一段“The laws limiting phone usage, however, tend to be broad, filled with exceptions. At the same time, private schools have pushed ahead with their own rules, which are typically more comprehensive (详尽的) than the well-meaning but ineffective laws made by state governments.(然而，限制手机使用的法律往往很宽泛，充满了例外。与此同时，私立学校也在推行自己的规则，这些规则通常比州政府制定的善意但无效的法律更全面)”以及第二段“Young people respond best to rules that are simple, clear and easy to follow, Plus, teachers should not be expected to announce the rules before every class. Strict limitations set clear expectations for students and help them work together better without overburdening already busy teachers.(年轻人对简单、清晰、容易遵守的规则反应最好。另外，老师不应该在每次上课前都宣布规则。严格的限制为学生设定了明确的期望，帮助他们更好地合作，而不会给本已忙碌的教师带来过重的负担)”可知，私立学校制定的规则与政府法律的不同在于，私立学校制定的规则产生更好的结果。故选D。 49．推理判断题。根据第二段“Half-hearted laws, especially those that place the burden (负担) on teachers, are almost useless. The enforcement (执行) of these laws often leaves teachers in challenging positions. For example, a teacher told a case where a parent listened to a classroom discussion through their child’s phone and immediately emailed a complaint about the lesson.(半心半意的法律，尤其是那些把负担加在教师身上的法律，几乎是无用的。这些法律的执行往往使教师处于具有挑战性的职位。例如，一位老师讲述了一个案例，一位家长通过孩子的手机听了课堂讨论，并立即通过电子邮件投诉了这节课)”可知，作者提到了这个例子来解释政府应该设定明确和直接的电话禁令。故选B。 50．细节理解题。根据第三段“Parents are concerned about locking up phones in case of an emergency, but classroom rules shouldn’t be designed around unlikely disasters.(家长们担心在紧急情况下把手机锁起来，但课堂规则不应该围绕不太可能发生的灾难而设计)”可知，父母反对禁止使用手机，因为他们的孩子在紧急情况下需要使用手机。故选C。 51．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The passing of the laws is a hopeful sign that schools are finally waking up to the dangers of smartphone overuse. The perfect treatment, however, is sadly lacking.(这些法律的通过是一个充满希望的迹象，表明学校终于意识到过度使用智能手机的危险。然而，令人遗憾的是，目前还缺乏完美的治疗方法)”可知，作者对限制手机使用的法律客观态度。故选B。 Passage 14 American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information. A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, “TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.” The platform lets users create and share very short videos and provides helpful tools to do so. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has helped launch the careers of new Internet and music stars. News of the possible ban spread quickly among TikTok users. One of those users is Ty Gibson of Greensboro, North Carolina. Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. But then, a technical problem led him to believe a ban might be beginning. The problem, which was later fixed, made a video counting tool disappear. “I thought it was the end,” Gibson told Reuters news agency. “I didn’t even have time to think things through.” Gibson said he recorded a personal goodbye video for his 4.6 million fans, asking them to follow him on YouTube and Facebook’s Instagram. Other TikTok fans are staying with the service for now. TikTokBan has received more than 212 million views on the app, while SaveTikTok got over 315 million. Fans are concerned that if the app is actually shut down, it will challenge the values that Americans hold dear, such as freedom of speech. Competing video sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched downloads of their apps rise. Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTok user from Greenville, South Carolina with 1.2 million followers. He has been urging other TikTok users to move to the Byte app in his recent videos. Tate says one big reason to move is that Byte gives 100 percent of ad earnings to video creators. 52．What can we know about TikTok in Paragraph 1? A．Its employees have easy access to user data. B．It can protect their users from losing their jobs. C．It is a platform where users protect their privacy. D．It may be banned for possibly misusing users’ information. 53．How did Ty Gibson react to the ban? A．He was shocked and angry at first. B．He didn’t take the ban seriously at first. C．He chose to stick to TikTok despite the ban. D．He attracted more fans with his goodbye video. 54．What happened to the competing video sharing service? A．They made efforts to support TikTok. B．They tried to win over top TikTok stars. C．They forced TikTok users to download their apps. D．They advertised their videos to make more money. 55．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The ban makes people familiar with TikTok in the USA． B．TikTok and its rivals are competing for customers. C．TikTok becomes increasingly stronger despite the ban. D．US TikTok users prepare for life without the app. 【答案】52．D 53．B 54．B 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了美国TikTok用户正在为美国政府可能禁令该应用程序做准备。文章介绍了TikTok的回应、用户对禁令的反应、以及竞争对手趁机争取用户的情况。 52．细节理解题。根据第一段中提“American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government.(美国流行的视频分享服务TikTok的用户们正在为美国政府可能对该应用实施的禁令做准备。)”以及“US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information.(美国议员警告称，中国拥有的TikTok可能会滥用用户信息。)”可知，第一段中表明TikTok可能因滥用用户信息而面临被禁止的风险。故选D。 53．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. (Gibson说，起初他并没有理会那些暗示该应用可能会被禁止的报道。)”可知，Gibson 起初并没有理会该应用可能被禁止的消息，即Gibson在禁令消息传出时并没有认真对待。故选B。 54．推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join(以大量使用嘻哈音乐而闻名的Triller正在寻求签约TikTok的顶级明星加入)”可知，竞争对手正在试图吸引TikTok的顶级明星加入自己的平台。故选B。 55．主旨大意题。根据文章开头提到“American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government.(美国流行的视频分享服务TikTok的用户们正在为美国政府可能对该应用实施的禁令做准备。)”以及通读全文，文章讲述的是美国TikTok用户正在为可能无法使用该应用的生活做准备。全文围绕这一主题展开，描述了用户对禁令的反应以及竞争对手趁机争取用户的情况。D选项“US TikTok users prepare for life without the app.(美国TikTok用户为没有这款应用的生活做准备。)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意。故选D。 Passage 15 Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them. Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy. So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges. Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life.” 56．What can we know about new communication tools? A．Destroying our life totally. B．Posing more dangers than good. C．Helping us to hide our faults. D．Replacing traditional letters. 57．What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools? A．Sheltering us from virtual life. B．Removing face-to-face interaction. C．Leading to false mental perception. D．Making us rely more on hi-tech media. 58．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．Technologies have changed our relationships. B．The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits. C．Love can be better conveyed by text message. D．The digital self need not take responsibility. 59．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Addiction to the Virtual World B．Cost of Falling into Digital Life C．Interpersonal Skills on the Net D．The Future of Social Media 【答案】56．C 57．C 58．A 59．B 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要介绍了陷入数字生活的代价。 56．推理判断题。根据第二段“To use a theatrical metaphor(隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world.  (用戏剧化的比喻来说，这些新的交流形式提供了一个舞台，我们每个人都可以在这个舞台上创造自己的角色，隐藏在推特、状态更新和文本的第四堵墙后面。当我们与残酷的肉体生活保持安全距离时，这种不真实的漠不关心状态会让人上瘾，在肉体生活中，我们是不完美、无能为力和微不足道的。从本质上讲，我们不仅获得了更自由的手段，而且获得了变新的手段，创造并向世界投射出更完美的自我。)”可知，新的交流工具让人们隐藏自己的不完美。故选C。 57．推理判断题。根据第二段“By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism.  (通过消除任何真实的人际交往，它们使我们能够发展我们不正常的自爱，而不会有不赞成或批评的风险。)”可知，新的交流工具让人们产生了错误的心理感知。故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据第三段“So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges. (因此，我们生活在一个冷漠的时代，名字和面孔代表着两种不同程度的亲密，工作关系只能通过电子邮件的魔力来建立，爱情可以通过短信开始或结束。在这样的环境下，人与人之间的关系就变成了单纯的数字交流。)”可知，科技改变了我们人与人之间的社会关系。故选A。 59．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology.

(如今，世界正在慢慢成为一个高科技社会，我们现在被科技所包围。Facebook和Twitter是创新工具；短信仍然是一种存在的现象，与我们悠久的蜗牛邮件历史相比，即使是电子邮件也只是屏幕上的一个亮点。现在，我们采用这些工具到了本质的地步，很少考虑我们如何从根本上受到它们的影响。)”根据第二段“By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism.  (通过消除任何真实的人际交往，它们使我们能够发展我们不正常的自爱，而不会有不赞成或批评的风险。)和第三段“So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message.

Would you rather have a higher salary or the freedom to work from anywhere in the world? According to a survey, seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary for more perks (额外收入) and benefits — one in ten would definitely do so. 6 . For today’s workforce, especially Gen Zs and millennials (千禧一代), perks extend far beyond the traditional benefits package. They are putting a lot of focus on work-life balance, career advancement, and the company’s culture and values. Among all, a flexible work arrangement tops the list of those values. 7 . The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts productivity but also helps prevent burnout. This shift enforces companies to demonstrate that they value outcomes and results over rigid schedules. In return, employees feel trusted, valued, and empowered, performing at their best when given the flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives. 8 . For women, especially working mothers, unclear boundaries between home and work can make them feel like they are always working, which increases the risk of burnout. Moreover, remote work can intensify (增强) the challenges associated with career advancement, as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined. 9 . This belief could negatively affect their chances for promotions and leadership opportunities. Looking ahead, flexible work arrangements are here to stay and will likely continue to evolve. 10 . Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models, such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. A．This is where company policies can play a crucial role. B．Employers invest a lot in creating attractive work environments. C．It provides the independence and freedom younger employees seek.

Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. 12 Xiao Yiyi said her group usually consists of a dozen or so people and her events last around half a day. Citywalk not only offers a way for them to interact with a city, but also provides them with a new social scene. So participants who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends. Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has recently established Citywalk routes using public bus routes. 13 Citywalk is a new phenomenon and the market is relatively small. 14 Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers. 15 Meanwhile, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.

And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps. 16 Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds. Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. 17 A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. 18 Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. 19 When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury. If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. 20 For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task. A．Checking your phone is often automatic. B．There's also a mental-health element to consider. C．Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves. D．Start going without your phone for set periods of time. E．The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief. F．Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior. G．But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up. 【答案】16．A 17．C 18．G 19．B 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了无意识看手机的现象、原因和改正措施。 16．根据下文“Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it.(研究表明，很多人都会做同样的事情。只有11%的人查看智能手机是为了回应通知。在其他时间里，他们完全没有计划地查看手机，通常也没有想过自己为什么这么做)”可知，本段主要将看手机是无意识的。故A选项“查看手机通常是无意识的”切题，适合为本段的标题。故选A项。 17．根据上文“Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want.(我们的大脑天生就会寻求知识、娱乐和社会联系等奖励。在我们指尖上有微型电脑之前，所有这些东西都很难找到。现在我们知道了。我们的手机基本上是我们大脑的自助餐，没完没了地、轻松地提供它们想要的东西)”可知，选项承接上文总结大脑的自我功能。故C选项“当然，我们的大脑会情不自禁地养活自己”切题。故选C项。 18．根据上文“A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm.(快速查看一下电话可能不会对你的大脑造成任何真正的伤害)”根据下文“Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive.(随着时间的推移，如果你在走路或开车的时候看手机，持续的滚动屏幕可能会对你的工作表现、人际关系、睡眠甚至人身安全产生负面影响)”可知，选项与上文为转折关系且承接下文说明量的积累会产生负面的影响。故G选项“但同样值得考虑的是，所有这些小的查看加起来是多少”切题。故选G项。 19．根据下文“When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.(当你屈服于你的欲望，查看你的手机，然后感到内疚，失败的感觉增加了伤害的羞耻)”可知，选项承接下文说明另一个考虑因素是心理健康。故B选项“还有一个心理健康因素需要考虑”切题。故选B项。 20．根据下文“For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task.(例如，下次当你发现自己在浏览短视频时，甚至没有吸收内容，想想你是真的想玩手机，还是你只是在推迟一个不那么有趣的任务)”可知，下文通过具体实例说明上文要反思自己的行为。故F选项“花点时间问问自己是什么驱使着你的行为”切题，与下文话题一致。故选F项。 Passage 5 （24-25高一上·安徽·期末）Young people today can download an app on their phone in seconds. They can quickly make things like videos and music. 21 They’re known as digital natives. It is a term for people who have grown up using digital technology. But according to teachers, there’s one thing many of them can’t do very well: type on a keyboard. The 22-year-old singer Billie Eilish said this year that she never learned to type, and now she regrets it. According to the US Department of Education, there has been a big decrease in the number of courses that teach typing in the classroom. 22 The department said that in 2000, 44% of students had taken a typing course before finishing high school. 23 In August, The Wall Street Journal spoke to a number of young adults and teenagers about typing. Many said they have to take their time while typing on a computer keyboard, looking carefully to find the letters they want. 24 It involves using all fingers to type without looking at the keyboard. However, young people today often lack this ability. It’s said one of the reasons young people are slower at typing is that they do a lot of their schoolwork on smartphones or tablets. Some teachers think young people’s typing speeds might cause them problems when they’re writing long assignments at university, or working in a job that needs them to type a lot. 25 But experts still say being able to touch type can help people find better job opportunities. A．One thing has changed. B．It might not be needed for all jobs. C．There are some excellent typing programs online. D．They might even be able to create an app themselves! E．However, by 2019, only 2.5% of students had taken such a course. F．That’s despite a big increase in the use of technology in classrooms. G．In older generations, touch typing was considered an important skill. 【答案】21．D 22．F 23．E 24．G 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了当今数字时代下年轻人对于打字技能的缺失现象，并提到了一些老师对年轻人打字速度慢的担忧，以及专家对打字技能在职场中的重要性的看法。 21．根据上文“Young people today can download an app on their phone in seconds. They can quickly make things like videos and music.(如今的年轻人能在几秒钟内就在手机上下载一个应用程序。他们能迅速制作出视频、音乐之类的东西)”可知，上文描述了现在年轻人使用数字技术的能力。选项D“They might even be able to create an app themselves!(他们甚至可能自己开发一款应用程序！)”进一步说明他们甚至可能自己创建应用程序，与前文衔接，继续体现年轻人在数字技术方面的能力。故选D。 22．根据上文“According to the US Department of Education, there has been a big decrease in the number of courses that teach typing in the classroom.(根据美国教育部的数据，在课堂上教授打字的课程数量大幅减少)”可知，教授打字的课程数量大幅减少。选项F“That’s despite a big increase in the use of technology in classrooms.(尽管教室里技术的使用大幅增加，但这种情况还是发生了)”表明尽管教室里技术的使用大幅增加，但打字课程却减少了，形成对比。故选F。 23．根据空前“The department said that in 2000, 44% of students had taken a typing course before finishing high school.(教育部称，2000年，44%的学生在高中毕业前上过打字课)”可知，上文提到2000年44%的学生在高中毕业前上过打字课程。选项E“However, by 2019, only 2.5% of students had taken such a course.(然而，到2019年，只有2.5%的学生上过这类课程)” 通过“However”转折，给出2019年的数据，体现出打字课程参与率的下降，与前文对应。故选E。 24．根据下文“It involves using all fingers to type without looking at the keyboard. However, young people today often lack this ability.(它指的是使用所有手指打字，且无需看键盘。然而，如今的年轻人往往缺乏这种能力)”可推测，空处需要指出“this ability”。选项G“In older generations, touch typing was considered an important skill.(在老一辈人中，盲打被视为一项重要技能)”中的“touch typing”即下文的“it”以及“this ability”。与下文内容一致。故选G。 25．根据上文“Some teachers think young people’s typing speeds might cause them problems when they’re writing long assignments at university, or working in a job that needs them to type a lot.(一些老师认为，年轻人的打字速度可能会在他们在大学写长篇作业，或者从事一份需要大量打字的工作时给他们带来麻烦)”可知，年轻人打字速度可能在大学写长篇作业或从事大量打字工作时带来问题。选项B“It might not be needed for all jobs.(也许并非所有工作都需要（快速打字能力）)”与上文内容形成转折，指出不是所有工作都需要快速打字的能力，自然引出下文“But experts still say being able to touch type can help people find better job opportunities.(但专家们仍然表示，能够盲打可以帮助人们找到更好的工作机会)”。故选B。 ( 44 / 44 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 3 The world online (译林版2020必修第三册) 单元话题阅读精练(阅读理解15篇+七选五5篇) Ⅰ阅读理解 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·甘肃·期末）Common Sense Media (媒体), a group that helps children, parents and teachers better understand media and technology, did a study. It paid attention to all kinds of activities about media, from old ways like reading and listening to the radio, to new favorites like using social media and video chatting. More than 2,600 teens were surveyed. Here are some truths and myths (荒诞的说法) the study found: Truth 1: Some teens spend too much time looking at screens. One in five teens use more than six hours of screen media each day, and 18% of teens are looking at their screens for more than 10 hours a day. Often they watch television on one while chatting with friends on another. Myth 1: This is the end of reading. The average(平均的) time young people spend reading, either in print or on a screen, is only 30 minutes a day. However, teens who took the survey say reading is one of their favorite activities. Truth 2: Boys prefer video games; girls prefer social media. Among teen boys, 71% enjoy playing video games, twice as many as teen girls. And while more than 25% of teen boys list playing video games as their favorite media activity, only 2% of teen girls do. What’s more, teen girls spend about 40 minutes more each day on social media than boys do. Myth 2: TV and music have been muscled out (强行逐出). For teens, TV is still the top media activity. They enjoy it the most and watch it every day. In fact, 47% of teens have TV sets in their bedrooms. For teens, music is the main form of amusement. However, only about a third listen to music on the radio. Most teens listen on their smartphones. 1．What can we learn from Truth 1? A．Teens prefer to watch TV rather than chat with friends. B．Teen boys spend more time on screens than teen girls. C．20% of teens spend more than 6 hours on screens a day. D．Teens spend too much time chatting with friends online. 2．What percent of teen girls enjoy playing video games? A．About 2%. B．About 25%. C．About 35%. D．About 70%. 3．What can we learn from Myth 2? A．TV and music have been muscled out. B．Most teens hope to have their own smartphones. C．More than half teens have TV sets in their bedrooms. D．It’s popular for teens to listen to music on smartphones. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏苏州·期末）It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not to be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But with new crazes becoming popular all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow (枕头) as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media? Oversharing has become connected with social media, but isn’t unique to it. Imagine you head to a party and meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away very detailed information about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage expert Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to get close to someone. A painful developmental story lies behind the behaviour. People share too much because they have been too lonely. But they fail to understand the risks resulting from it. Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学), says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that more negative experiences will be attracted if shared more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of seeking sympathy by oversharing, is generally regarded as negative rather than the cry for help. However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post online, the more socially attractive we become on condition that the posts we share are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said we should avoid complaining too much and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense— if your love lives are going ‘that well’, would you really have time to share a photo with text? So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much. 4．Which of the following is a kind of oversharing? A．Disclosing personal details quickly at a party. B．Discussing our feelings online. C．Sharing our toys with kids unselfishly. D．Recording our feelings in the diary. 5．Why do people share too much according to Carolyn Cole? A．To satisfy their psychological needs. B．To overcome the sense of failure. C．To show their feeling of sympathy. D．To develop a painful story. 6．What do you know about sadfishing? A．It is an idea of sharing positive experiences. B．It is generally thought of as a cry for help. C．It is seen as a positive way to seek help. D．It is intended to attract sympathy. 7．What does the underlined sentence imply in Paragraph 4? A．People having good love lives are too busy to post online. B．Sharing photos and texts about love lives makes sense. C．People won’t have successful love if posting it online. D．Good love lives shouldn’t be shared on social media. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·湖南长沙·期末）Recent research reveals the harmful mental health effects caused by social media use, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal (与自杀相关的) tendencies and self-harm. Adolescents who spend more than three hours per day on social media face twice the risk of poor mental health outcomes. Addictive feeds — designed to make use of personal data to intensify (增强) users’ content that will keep them on the platform for as long as possible — have dramatically raised the risk to young users’ well-being and made our children addicted to these social media outlets. In the first seven years after addictive feeds were introduced, suicide rates for 10- to 14-year-old girls doubled and hospitalization for suicidal tendencies and attempts increased nearly twice for all adolescents. Instead of responding to the problem, social media have made great efforts to keep and capture user engagement, and the results have been catastrophic. Beyond the direct harm of social media addiction, the collection of children’s data by these giant companies puts our kids at huge risk, leaving them vulnerable (易受伤害的) by having their location and other personal data tracked, shared and sold online. As a consequence, that data is at greater risk of falling into the wrong hands — including. human traffickers, identity thieves and others who might prey on (坑害) young people. We will not stand by and watch an arms race among social media mega-corporations (大型企业) over who can best profit from our children’s pain and addiction. That is why we should use and are using every tool at our fingertips to fight back against these damaging practices: from the courthouse to the statehouse. 8．What can we learn about addictive feeds? A．They are food that can easily satisfy people. B．They are Internet content that can get people addicted. C．They are kept on the platform just for a short period of time. D．They are personal data stored on the Internet for convenience. 9．Which word can best replace the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4? A．destructive B．positive C．unique D．effective 10．Which of the following best describes the author’s purpose in mentioning statistics such as “suicide rates for 10 - to 14-year-old girls doubled”? A．To create an emotional response in the reader. B．To show how effective social media has become at keeping users engaged. C．To offer a balanced view of the effects of social media on young people. D．To provide evidence that supports the argument about social media’s harmful effects. 11．What can we learn from the last paragragh? A．It emphasizes the author’s support for social media companies. B．It describes positive effects of social media on children’s well-being. C．It explains how social media companies can address the mental health issues. D．It calls for increased control on social media companies to protect young users. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·广西玉林·期末）The messages always start with something like, “Hey, I’m so sorry but…” Something has suddenly come up — a terrible headache or a pet cat having a problem. The person I have made plans with isn't going to make it. At this point I’m usually dressed, about to walk out the door, or even on my way. However, I usually don’t care about it. I have to cancel (取消) plans sometimes, too. But over the past year, my friends and I have started to realize that people are flaking out more often. When people flake out — cancel the plan at the last minute or simply don’t show, the first question that appears in our brain is “Why?” or “Is something bigger really happening?” Think of that person in your friend group who always can’t arrive on time. That may be more common among some personality types. For these people, they seem to have little concern for how other people feel. Another type is what psychologists (心理学家) call conscientiousness or responsibility. People who have no conscientiousness are bad at planning things or don’t follow through — in other words, flake out. Flaking out has got more common in the last decade. Research shows it’s just easier to flake out in the age of technology. Distance can allow people to lie to others. When you don’t want to follow the plan, it’s easier to send a message to someone to cancel the plan than to tell them over the phone. Being flaked out on in this way can make you feel that they are treating you as if you didn’t have thoughts or feelings. So next time someone flakes out by sending you a text message, you can turn to Gray, a psychology professor at the University of North Carolina, who has something to share with you to help you deal with the situation. 12．Why does the author take no notice when others cancel the plan? A．They have made apologies. B．It doesn’t have any bad influences. C．Sometimes he has to do the same thing. D．The plan isn’t important and can be changed. 13．What is an example of flaking out according to the text? A．Sending a message to say sorry. B．Cancelling a plan with an excuse. C．Being late for a party on purpose. D．Dealing with other important things. 14．Which of the following can best describe the people who flake out? A．Busy and active. B．Lazy and dishonest. C．Careless and impatient D．Iresponsible and self-centred. 15．What is the best title for the text? A．The Influence of Flaking Out. B．How to Prevent Cancelling Plans. C．The Reasons for Flaking Out. D．How to Get Along with Others. Passage 5 （24-25高一上·吉林长春·期末）Museums have regained their popularity among young people because of social media, but one person shared on Twitter that people shouldn’t use such ways for their photos. Milo Atienza Parada, an Instagram user, said that people have been going to museums for the sake of taking selfies(自拍)to be posted on their social media. Although there is nothing wrong with it, he still thinks that museums are places of art appreciation(欣赏). Last month, the National Museum of the Philippines opened its newest building to the public — the National Museum of Natural History. It houses the country’s collections of plants and animals. According to its Facebook post, visitors are not allowed to engage in photography. They are also not allowed to take videos or touch museum objects. However, Parada has noticed that many people have been touching artworks during their visit. Besides, the museum has been turned into a place to take photos. “For visitors who only wish to enjoy artworks, taking selfies bothers them,” said Parada. “They will feel angry when seeing some people taking selfies with great artworks they want to enjoy.” But some museums are now accepting the selfie phenomenon(现象). The Artists’ Network shared that the popularity of selfies is an important factor in making people visit museums. The Frick Collection in New York City allows people to take selfies with the artworks. “If they share those images on social media, museums will get a much appreciated’ word of mouth’ result. Search for information about museum selfies on the Internet and you’ll be surprised by all the fun ways people put themselves and objects of art and history together. And that makes other people visit these museums in person,” Heidi Rosenau, the Frick’s communication director said. 16．Why is Parada against taking selfies in museums? A．It may put pressure on museum management. B．It affects the popularity of social media sites. C．It may take people’s focus away from artworks. D．It damages artworks that should avoid flash photography. 17．What can be learned about the mentioned museum from Paragraph 2? A．Many visitors are blind to its rules. B．Many visitors disagree with its rules. C．It should set up some photo-taking areas. D．It needs to spend more on protecting artworks. 18．According to Paragraph 4, taking selfies in museums can ________ A．leave some special memories for visitors B．offer a new chance to express people’s creativity C．draw people’s attention to the protection of artworks D．promote the artworks and the museums to the public 19．What is the text mainly about? A．The influences of social media on the changes in museums. B．Some benefits and harm of taking selfies in museums. C．Some common behaviors among visitors to museums. D．Different creative ideas for taking selfies in different museums. Passage 6 In the old days — say, the 1980s — if you bought a piece of technology, a paperback user guide came with it. It was the manufacturer’s one big chance to explain its engineers’ thinking to you, to communicate what the designers and marketers had in mind. Supplying documentation seemed, at the time, like a good idea all around. Mastery made customers happy, and happy customers meant repeat sales. But there were other forces at play. Printing and binding took time and money — and customers didn’t seem to be reading user manuals. Over time, therefore, physical manuals began disappearing from our hardware and software boxes. Maybe you’d get a Quick Start leaflet, but the rest was online. Online, you can search for certain terms, find topics faster and post questions for other people. Online communities and answer sites sprang up. Mini tutorials on the Internet began showing you how to perform a task. And it’s all free. Meanwhile the kind of technologies we use has changed. “People increasingly spend time in apps and social sites that have a fairly simple interface (界面),” Tim O’Reilly told me. (He’s founder of O’Reilly Media, which publishes my own how-to books. )You don’t need a manual to use Google. That was the beginning of the end for physical manuals. In principle, the death of professionally prepared support materials shouldn’t be any cause for concern. It’s just another big change caused by the Internet, another in the list of casualties, such as printed encyclopedias, newspaper classified ads and music on discs. In reality, though, none of the tech industry’s teaching channels, whether physical or online, is universal and effective. To this day, it’s astonishing how little we know about our phones, computers and software. A Microsoft product manager once told me that most feature requests the company gets for Microsoft Office are, in fact, already features of Microsoft Office. Hardware and software makers still operate with their traditional business model: Every year or so they sell us a new version, whose appeal is supposed to be more features. And so, as time goes by, our devices and apps become more and more complex — but access to documentation remains limited and incomplete. In the fantasy version of our world, designers would make our tech products simple enough, their important features obvious enough, for the masses to figure out on their own. Until then, there will be a growing information gap between the features we want and the engineering work that’s already been done. 20．The word “casualties” (paragraph 6) is closest in meaning to___________. A．causes B．manuals C．industries D．victims 21．Why did the author mention what a Microsoft product manager once told him? A．To criticize the lack of access that we have to complete documentation. B．To reveal the traditional business model that software makers operate with. C．To emphasize that it is a pity that physical manuals are no longer available. D．To illustrate that people actually know little about the tech products they use. 22．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Tech companies’ teaching channels are shrinking as time goes by. B．There is little chance that tech products will soon be simple enough. C．Printed manuals worked better than online versions. D．Consumers of the 1980s loved to read user manuals. 23．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．What Happened to User Manuals? B．How Did Physical Manuals Prosper? C．How Simple Will Our Tech Products Be? D．What Change Has the Internet Brought About? Passage 7 （24-25高一上·广东梅州·期末）No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant? According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented (辅助) rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered? Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns. Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans. As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does.” Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity. 24．What may be affected most by AI? A．Managing human resources. B．Reporting taxes. C．Selling new products. D．Making decisions. 25．What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with? A．We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B．We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact. C．Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D．Employing Al in life is effortless. 26．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．AI’s outlook. B．AI’s development. C．AI’s application. D．AI’s advantage. 27．Which is the best title for the passage? A．How to get over people’s fears on AI? B．How to explore human emotions AI affects? C．How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces? D．How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI? Passage 8 （24-25高一上·安徽合肥·期末）Many young people boast of having “Brain Rot” nowadays on various social media platforms. Brain rot has its own vocabulary that includes internet slang like “skibidi toilet” and viral video, such as an old clip of Barron Trump saying “I like my suitcase!” mixed with synth-heavy club music. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who grew up with smartphones and social media, are the primary audience for this content and have popularized the term. Emilie Owens, a doctoral researcher in the University of Oslo, surveyed some high school students about their online consumption habits and attitudes. She found that the teenagers described ridiculous videos on TikTok as “brain rot.” “It’s not like they were discussing a serious condition,” Owens said. “They were using it in a positive way to refer to the stuff they liked to watch, or a language they use to watch TikTok together.” It’s almost a mark of pride, she said, certifying you as a card-carrying member of a certain generation, or at least clued into their inside joke. “Each generation use their own version of brain rot to do the same thing,” Owens said. “If you have a really stressful job and you had a horrible week, you probably really look forward to going home and spending a Saturday on the sofa watching all of ‘Friends’ again, or episodes of ‘Desperate Housewives’.” The phrase brain rot can cause concern and panic about young people and their screen time. But social media users say it implies a certain degree of self-awareness — knowing that you have consumed so much online content that you can understand even the most proper references and jokes. “I think there’s big stigma around content consumption in general, and people think that it’s making us less intelligent,” said Krissy Ryan, 34, a content creator in Jacksonville, Fla, who runs more than 20 meme pages across platforms like Facebook and Threads. “But I don’t think it is. We know that the content is stupid at the end of the day. ” 28．What can you learn about “brain rot” according to the first two paragraphs? A．Brain rot has its own textbooks. B．Brain rot originates from Baron Trump. C．Brain rot offers people club music. D．Brain rot is favored by most young people. 29．What did Emilie Owens find in her survey? A．It’s a manner for young people to express something they like online. B．Some high students are addicted to the internet. C．Brain rot has caused some damage to their intelligence. D．Brain rot is a special mark for some youth organizations. 30．Why would some people watch TV series “Friends” and “Desperate Wives” again? A．They are the most popular American TV series around the world. B．Watching American TV series has become a fashion. C．They can get some comfort and relief from such TV series. D．Such TV are better than video games. 31．From Krissy Ryan’s words, what can you infer? A．Brain rot is harmful to young people’s intelligence. B．Brain rot is misunderstood by most of the public. C．Most young people don’t realise brain rot just offers some fun. D．Most contents of brain rot are silent videos. Passage 9 （24-25高一上·安徽亳州·期末）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 (批判性忽略). As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet com-pet e for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can offer us advertisements producing profit. So we are not customers but products, and each connection we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls on us to learn the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure to false 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 (难以抵制的) 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-catching 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 judge the reliability (可靠) of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false in-formation. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, which can be reliable. 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, ignore their bad behaviour. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being harmed by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds. 32．What does the author mean by “we are not customers but products”? A．We produce content for profit. B．We are persuaded to make advertisements. C．We are being used to make money. D．We control the information flow. 33．What does the word “exposure” mean in the context of the passage? A．Display. B．Experience. C．Contact. D．Advertisement. 34．How is the first strategy explained? A．By making a comparison. B．By describing a scene. C．By listing detailed steps. D．By providing scientific ideas. 35．What do we know about the trolls? A．They intend no good. B．They care about honesty. C．They refuse to annoy others. D．They ignore bad behaviour. Passage 10 （24-25高一上·甘肃兰州·期末）The biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character. Professor Larry Rosen, in his book iDisorder, says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing - empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. Sherry Turkle, a professor of Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from their family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”. These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults. 36．What does the underlined word “unfounded” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Undoubted. B．False. C．Acceptable. D．Illegal. 37．What can we learn from the passage? A．The advantages of social media outweigh the disadvantages. B．Young people tend to develop offline friendships. C．Young people can’t go without social media. D．We are becoming unable to understand others well. 38．According to Sherry Turkle, how can we make meaningful friendships with others? A．By getting in touch with online friends. B．By avoiding the problems of social networking. C．By reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves. D．By having discussions with a much more diverse set of people. 39．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Internet culture causes various problems. B．We are losing some most important emotions. C．Online friendships do good to offline friendships. D．Social networking affects young people’s personalities. Passage 11 （24-25高一上·贵州遵义·期末）Have you taken a gap day before? It’s a new concept on social media recently, different from a gap year. A gap day means an extremely brief period of relaxation and escape from everyday routine. After resting, people will continue to bury themselves in the busy pace of normal life. Apart from gap days, other similar expressions have made a hit on the Internet, like city walk, dazi and so on. This growing trend of creating new phrases for something otherwise ordinary and common has caused heated discussion. Some people think these kinds of new phrases better please people’s mindsets, showing their enthusiasm. “For example, the common expression taking a walk is neutral (中性的). Now city walk is the positive version of it, meaning ‘to explore the city with a curious mind’,” Zhou Yaokai, an 18-year-old from China West Normal University, said. “It’s the same with gap day. Instead of lying flat, people are actively trying to balance their stress and life, which is a good approach.” Others disagree, however, and think that it’s simply just a kind of “sugaring up”, satisfying one’s need for showing off. For example, city walk is the same as taking a walk basically. But by calling it a city walk, people feel like they are doing something fancier than it actually is, said Wu Ruilin, an 18-year-old from Chengdu. He is concerned that the promotion of such fancy phrases may cover the risks behind it, such as security. For example, as the term dazi gains popularity on social media, some young people are searching for dazi in different life aspects that are normally enjoyed alone or with close friends, like traveling and games. “They may have forgotten and ignored that most dazi are just strangers who share similar interests. That may bring problems for us,” said Wu. Despite different views, they have already taken root in our daily lives. So what we need to do is keep a level head and don’t overemphasize them. 40．What can be concluded about gap day from the text? A．It refreshes people in busy life. B．It is a long vacation for people to relax. C．It went viral several years ago. D．It is a new lifestyle replacing the old one. 41．Why do people prefer these newly-created phrases? A．They could attract people’s attention. B．They are neutral and objective. C．They could rid people of stressful life. D．They show people’s passion for life. 42．What does the underlined phrase “sugaring up” probably mean? A．Covering something against the truth. B．Making something look or sound better. C．Covering something with layers of sugar. D．Making something easier to understand. 43．What does Wu Ruilin think of the new phrases? A．They may cause people to be over-confident. B．They are useful for people to show their creativity. C．They are fancier phrases than they actually are. D．They may mislead people and bring potential risks. Passage 12 （24-25高一上·吉林长春·期末）I never know what to say around other people. Whenever I am in a group of people, I feel like everyone knows what to say and I have no idea. When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged- as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I usually avoid them. People think I am a loner. Maybe I am. Individuals (个体) experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt (打断) others and they say please and thank you when it is proper to do so. They often avoid eye contact, because it makes them feel judged. They feel like others can see how uncomfortable they are. Individuals experiencing these symptoms (症状) are often very intelligent, but their anxiety prevents them from being able to prove this in front of others. Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity (从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do. Becoming an important part of these groups requires that you sacrifice some of your individuality, values, and styles to fit in. Some individuals naturally pick up the patterns of relating to different groups and change themselves accordingly. They leave their individuality behind. For some people, this is automatic (自动的) and they don’t even register that they are changing themselves to fit into groups. However, if you are one of those people who feels disconnected in most social group settings, it may be because your personality refuses conformity. You have trouble liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off. 44．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To compare different types of social groups. B．To explain why some people avoid eye contact C．To introduce hard experience of social anxiety. D．To recommend ways to go for job interviews. 45．What would people do when experiencing social discomfort? A．They pay attention to proper social manners. B．They are eager to stop others judging them. C．They tend to observe what others are doing. D．They try to prove their intelligence. 46．The underlined part “sacrifice” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．accept. B．take down. C．admit. D．give up. 47．What would the author agree with according to the last paragraph? A．We should give up our personality to fit in. B．Not changing ourselves is also a good choice. C．Refusing help will turn you away from friends. D．Conformity is a requirement in the society. Passage 13 （24-25高一上·江苏南京·期末）Recently, Florida and California have both passed laws that limit the use of smartphones in public schools. This move is welcome as they reflect a growing awareness that it is unhealthy for young people to spend all day looking at phones. The laws limiting phone usage, however, tend to be broad, filled with exceptions. At the same time, private schools have pushed ahead with their own rules, which are typically more comprehensive (详尽的) than the well-meaning but ineffective laws made by state governments. Half-hearted laws, especially those that place the burden (负担) on teachers, are almost useless. The enforcement (执行) of these laws often leaves teachers in challenging positions. For example, a teacher told a case where a parent listened to a classroom discussion through their child’s phone and immediately emailed a complaint about the lesson. Young people respond best to rules that are simple, clear and easy to follow. Plus, teachers should not be expected to announce the rules before every class. Strict limitations set clear expectations for students and help them work together better without overburdening already busy teachers. The arguments against strict phone bans (禁令),on the other hand, are unpersuasive (没有说服力). Parents are concerned about locking up phones in case of an emergency, but classroom rules shouldn’t be designed around unlikely disasters. Students are also free to keep low-tech phones for emergency situations. A student from Oregon complained of having trouble finding friends in the lunchroom after her school banned phones. High schoolers who need to get in touch with mom and dad say they’re confused about the school’s old-fashioned rules. The passing of the laws is a hopeful sign that schools are finally waking up to the dangers of smartphone overuse. The perfect treatment, however, is sadly lacking. 48．How are the rules made by private schools different from government laws? A．They sound broader. B．They are ill-meaning. C．They are welcomed by students. D．They produce better results. 49．In paragraph 2, the author mentions the example to explain that ______. A．parents should stop complaining about children’s class B．governments should set clear and direct phone bans C．teachers should carry out strict enforcement of phone use D．students should work together without teachers’ help 50．In paragraph 3, parents are against banning phones because of their children’s ______. A．difficulty in acquiring low-tech phones B．trouble in making friends without phones C．need to use phones in emergency situations D．confusion about schools’ old-fashioned rules 51．What is the author’s attitude towards the laws limiting phone usage? A．Unclear. B．Objective. C．Confused. D．Supportive. Passage 14 American users of the popular video sharing service TikTok are preparing for a possible ban (禁令) of the app by the US government. US lawmakers have warned the Chinese-owned TikTok could be misusing users’ information. A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, “TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform.” The platform lets users create and share very short videos and provides helpful tools to do so. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has helped launch the careers of new Internet and music stars. News of the possible ban spread quickly among TikTok users. One of those users is Ty Gibson of Greensboro, North Carolina. Gibson said at first, he dismissed the reports suggesting the app might be banned. But then, a technical problem led him to believe a ban might be beginning. The problem, which was later fixed, made a video counting tool disappear. “I thought it was the end,” Gibson told Reuters news agency. “I didn’t even have time to think things through.” Gibson said he recorded a personal goodbye video for his 4.6 million fans, asking them to follow him on YouTube and Facebook’s Instagram. Other TikTok fans are staying with the service for now. TikTokBan has received more than 212 million views on the app, while SaveTikTok got over 315 million. Fans are concerned that if the app is actually shut down, it will challenge the values that Americans hold dear, such as freedom of speech. Competing video sharing services like Triller and Byte have watched downloads of their apps rise. Some rivals (对手) are now directly targeting TikTok users. Triller, which became known for its heavy use of hip-hop music, is seeking to sign up top TikTok stars to join, said Ryan Kavanaugh, founder of Triller. Dylan Tate is a TikTok user from Greenville, South Carolina with 1.2 million followers. He has been urging other TikTok users to move to the Byte app in his recent videos. Tate says one big reason to move is that Byte gives 100 percent of ad earnings to video creators. 52．What can we know about TikTok in Paragraph 1? A．Its employees have easy access to user data. B．It can protect their users from losing their jobs. C．It is a platform where users protect their privacy. D．It may be banned for possibly misusing users’ information. 53．How did Ty Gibson react to the ban? A．He was shocked and angry at first. B．He didn’t take the ban seriously at first. C．He chose to stick to TikTok despite the ban. D．He attracted more fans with his goodbye video. 54．What happened to the competing video sharing service? A．They made efforts to support TikTok. B．They tried to win over top TikTok stars. C．They forced TikTok users to download their apps. D．They advertised their videos to make more money. 55．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The ban makes people familiar with TikTok in the USA． B．TikTok and its rivals are competing for customers. C．TikTok becomes increasingly stronger despite the ban. D．US TikTok users prepare for life without the app. Passage 15 Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them. Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy. So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges. Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life.” 56．What can we know about new communication tools? A．Destroying our life totally. B．Posing more dangers than good. C．Helping us to hide our faults. D．Replacing traditional letters. 57．What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools? A．Sheltering us from virtual life. B．Removing face-to-face interaction. C．Leading to false mental perception. D．Making us rely more on hi-tech media. 58．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．Technologies have changed our relationships. B．The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits. C．Love can be better conveyed by text message. D．The digital self need not take responsibility. 59．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Addiction to the Virtual World B．Cost of Falling into Digital Life C．Interpersonal Skills on the Net D．The Future of Social Media Ⅱ阅读理解七选五 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·湖北十堰·期末）The Internet is a useful tool that has become an important part of our daily lives. As high school students, it is important to know how to use it safely. 1 .Stay watchful and think carefully The Internet is a large source of information, but not all information is correct or secure. 2 . Be careful of tricks (骗局), each piece of news, and content that is not suitable. A careful mind will help you see the difference between what is true and what is not, and keep you out of danger in the digital world. 3 Telling personal details on the Internet can make you a target for identity theft and other dangers. Never tell sensitive (敏感的) information such as your full name, home address, or school name on public discussion boards or social media. If you need to give information, make sure the website is safe and well-known.Be careful with people you meet online The Internet lets you meet people worldwide, but not everyone has good intentions. Do not click on links from people you do not know. 4 . Trust your feelings and tell a trusted adult or the people in charge of the platform (平台) if you see anything strange.Be careful with online chats 5 . However, it is important to remember that people may not always tell the truth about who they are. Protect your privacy and be careful about the information you share when you talk to others on the Internet. A．Online chats can be fun. B．Know who you can’t trust. C．The Internet may make you feel bored. D．Keep your personal information private. E．Here are four tips to help you stay safe on the Internet. F．Stop talking to strangers who make you feel uncomfortable. G．When you look at things online, check if the sources are believable.\ Passage 2 Time or Money? Would you rather have a higher salary or the freedom to work from anywhere in the world? According to a survey, seven out of ten surveyed readers would consider accepting a lower salary for more perks (额外收入) and benefits — one in ten would definitely do so. 6 . For today’s workforce, especially Gen Zs and millennials (千禧一代), perks extend far beyond the traditional benefits package. They are putting a lot of focus on work-life balance, career advancement, and the company’s culture and values. Among all, a flexible work arrangement tops the list of those values. 7 . The ability to control when and where they work not only boosts productivity but also helps prevent burnout. This shift enforces companies to demonstrate that they value outcomes and results over rigid schedules. In return, employees feel trusted, valued, and empowered, performing at their best when given the flexibility to balance their personal and professional lives. 8 . For women, especially working mothers, unclear boundaries between home and work can make them feel like they are always working, which increases the risk of burnout. Moreover, remote work can intensify (增强) the challenges associated with career advancement, as fewer in-person interactions can lead to being overlooked or sidelined. 9 . This belief could negatively affect their chances for promotions and leadership opportunities. Looking ahead, flexible work arrangements are here to stay and will likely continue to evolve. 10 . Organizations should ensure equitable opportunities consistent with flexible work models, such as offering personalized arrangements instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. A．This is where company policies can play a crucial role. B．Employers invest a lot in creating attractive work environments. C．It provides the independence and freedom younger employees seek. D．While flexible work arrangements offer benefits, they also have drawbacks. E．Flexibility and work-life balance now outweigh financial rewards for many. F．But what are these perks and how are companies adapting to meet these expectations? G．Furthermore, those who prefer flexibility are often seen as less committed to their careers. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·广东深圳·期末）Hashtags (标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently trending across multiple Chinese social media platforms as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. 11 Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides. Xiao Yiyi is a young entrepreneur based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector. Recently she launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. 12 Xiao Yiyi said her group usually consists of a dozen or so people and her events last around half a day. Citywalk not only offers a way for them to interact with a city, but also provides them with a new social scene. So participants who share the same interests and ideas can easily make friends. Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has recently established Citywalk routes using public bus routes. 13 Citywalk is a new phenomenon and the market is relatively small. 14 Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers. 15 Meanwhile, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands. A．However, industry insiders say that its potential is huge. B．Her routes include some historical architecture and traditional alleys. C．Citywalk can be a special guided trip for a small group of people to explore new areas. D．It allows them to better choose the experiences that agree with their interests and needs. E．But it provides more opportunity for tour guides and travel companies to better their service. F．This will help day-trippers reach more distant districts by public transport and continue on foot. G．The spreading Citywalk trend is encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Passage 4 You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator. You have no more than a minute to kill. And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps. 16 Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds. Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. 17 A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. 18 Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. 19 When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury. If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. 20 For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task. A．Checking your phone is often automatic. B．There's also a mental-health element to consider. C．Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves. D．Start going without your phone for set periods of time. E．The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief. F．Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior. G．But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up. Passage 5 （24-25高一上·安徽·期末）Young people today can download an app on their phone in seconds. They can quickly make things like videos and music. 21 They’re known as digital natives. It is a term for people who have grown up using digital technology. But according to teachers, there’s one thing many of them can’t do very well: type on a keyboard. The 22-year-old singer Billie Eilish said this year that she never learned to type, and now she regrets it. According to the US Department of Education, there has been a big decrease in the number of courses that teach typing in the classroom. 22 The department said that in 2000, 44% of students had taken a typing course before finishing high school. 23 In August, The Wall Street Journal spoke to a number of young adults and teenagers about typing. Many said they have to take their time while typing on a computer keyboard, looking carefully to find the letters they want. 24 It involves using all fingers to type without looking at the keyboard. However, young people today often lack this ability. It’s said one of the reasons young people are slower at typing is that they do a lot of their schoolwork on smartphones or tablets. Some teachers think young people’s typing speeds might cause them problems when they’re writing long assignments at university, or working in a job that needs them to type a lot. 25 But experts still say being able to touch type can help people find better job opportunities. A．One thing has changed. B．It might not be needed for all jobs. C．There are some excellent typing programs online. D．They might even be able to create an app themselves! E．However, by 2019, only 2.5% of students had taken such a course. F．That’s despite a big increase in the use of technology in classrooms. G．In older generations, touch typing was considered an important skill. ( 22 / 25 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
