A. had wasted B. had been wasted C. have wasted D. have been wasted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：直到我开始工作，我才意识到我浪费了多少时间。根据“Not until”置于句首，及did I realize可知，此句是一个部分倒装句式，realize发生在过去时，句中waste发生在过去动作realize之前，因此需要使用过去完成时，主语I与waste是主动关系，因此需要使用过去完成时的主动式。故选A。 14. Heavy drinking can cause _______ damage to the brain so people shouldn’t drink too much alcohol. A. vivid B. permanent C. distant D. accessible 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：大量饮酒会对大脑造成永久性损伤，所以人们不应该喝太多酒。A. vivid生动的；B. permanent永久的；C. distant遥远的；D. accessible可接近的。根据“so people shouldn’t drink too much alcohol (所以人们不应该喝太多酒)”可知，句子需强调大量饮酒的危害，permanent“永久的”符合题意，表示“会对大脑造成永久性损伤”。故选B。 15.

She has been recognized by the media as one of the youngest and most successful business owners in America. When she was a kid, Zandra always loved lip balms(润唇膏) and bought a lot of them. But she found they eventually hurt her lips instead of relieving the dryness because of all the chemicals in them. She then started experimenting with different ingredients(成分) together with her mom. They tried a lot of times until they found the natural and healthy combinations they liked. Slowly, Zandra began selling her products at local farmers’ markets and trade events. Before her 10th birthday, she launched her brand and hoped it would inspire other young girls. Soon, it became a challenge for Zandra to separate her personal interests from what her customers usually wanted. “There are a lot of ideas that I feel are excellent but wouldn’t fit into the market,” she said. Her business being part of the market, Zandra recognized the issue and improved her products after truly listening to customers. “There are so many brands doing similar things, but there is still so much room to grow. Your customers are out there, and you just have to reach out to them. That’s what will set you apart,” the 23-year-old shared. When asked about her experience as a promising young businesswoman, Zandra said, “It wasn’t frightening. When you are young, fear doesn’t have a strong hold on your mindset. That maybe it was not going to work never really crossed my mind.” Characterized by encouraging statements and featuring a playful color combination, the packaging is a big part of why Zandra’s business has been so successful. “There are a lot of products on the market that seem natural, but they actually aren’t,” she said. “I make sure that my packaging can help people understand what each term means, and how to read and check ingredients.” 19 What contributed to Zandra’s getting into the skincare business? A. Her goal of providing local people with cheap skin products. B. Her wish to give a hand to some poor girls. C. Her interest in doing chemical experiments. D. Her desire to create skin-friendly products. 20. How did Zandra deal with the trouble in her business? A. She took inspiration from successful businesswomen. B. She made an effort to meet real market needs. C. She stood by her own business decisions. D. She cooperated with powerful brands. 21. Why has Zandra succeeded in her business according to Zandra herself? A. Her work experience. B. Her parents’ support. C. Her youthful positivity. D. Her traditional thinking. 22. What does Zandra expect her packaging to do? A. Encourage customers to be aware of environment problems. B. Educate customers about product knowledge. C. Collect customers’ opinions on skincare. D. Draw customers’ attention to the color. 【答案】19. D 20. B 21. C 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了美国年轻且成功的商人Zandra创立护肤品牌的故事。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“But she found they eventually hurt her lips instead of relieving the dryness because of all the chemicals in them. She then started experimenting with different ingredients (成分) together with her mom. (但她发现，由于它们中的化学物质，它们最终会伤害她的嘴唇，而不是缓解干燥。然后，她开始和妈妈一起尝试不同的成分)”可知，Zandra想要创造对皮肤友好的产品，这促使她进入护肤品行业。故选D。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Soon, it became a challenge for Zandra to separate her personal interests from what her customers usually wanted. (很快，把她的个人兴趣和顾客的通常需求区分开来，对Zandra来说成了一个挑战。)”“Her business being part of the market, Zandra recognized the issue and improved her products after truly listening to customers. (作为市场的一部分，Zandra意识到了这个问题，并在真正倾听客户的意见后改进了她的产品)”可知，Zandra意识到她的个人兴趣与顾客的需求之间存在差异，并决定真正倾听顾客的意见来改善产品。这表明她努力满足真正的市场需求，即Zandra通过努力满足实际市场需求来解决她的商业难题。故选B。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“When you are young, fear doesn’t have a strong hold on your mindset. That maybe it was not going to work never really crossed my mind. (当你年轻时，恐惧不会对你的心态有很大的影响。我从未想过这可能行不通)”可知，Zandra因她年轻的积极态度而在商业中取得了成功，即她认为自己在事业上的成功是因为她年轻时的积极态度。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I make sure that my packaging can help people understand what each term means, and how to read and check ingredients. (我确保我的包装可以帮助人们理解每个术语的含义，以及如何阅读和检查成分)”可知，Zandra希望她的包装能够教育顾客有关产品的知识，即期望通过包装对客户进行产品知识教育。故选B。 C Making eye contact with a robot can be a very strange experience. Scientists even have a name for the feeling: the “mysterious valley”. Now, researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Italy have found that it is more than just a feeling. They ran an experiment that showed how a robot’s gaze (凝视) can trick people into thinking they are socially interacting with a human being. That experience can slow a person’s ability to make decisions. “The gaze is an extremely important social signal,” said the lead writer, Professor Agnieszka Wykowska, “The question is whether the robot’ s gaze will cause very similar mechanisms (机制) in the human brain as a human’s gaze would.” The team asked 40 participants to play a video game of “chicken”. Each player had to decide whether to permit a car to run straight toward another car or to turn to avoid a crash. The people played against a human-like robot sitting across from them. During breaks in the game, players had to look at the robot. Sometimes the robot would look back and at other times it would look away. As the interactions happened, the scientists collected data on participants’ behavior and brain activity. “Our results show the gaze of the robot had an impact on the way humans made decisions and humans’ responses, so humans were much slower in making decisions in the game,” Wykowska said. Given that the robot is designed to copy the shape and appearance of people, it’s not altogether surprising perhaps that its gaze can influence people’s attention. The findings could be useful for deciding where and how human-like robots might be placed. “When we understand when and how robots change people’s social behavior, then we can decide in which sort of context (环境) this is desirable and beneficial for humans and in which context something should not occur,” Wykowska said. 23. What did the robots do when participants looked at them during breaks? A. They sat among the participants for a while. B. They made eye contact with the participants. C. They greeted the participants in a polite way. D. They had a chat with the participants. 24. What is the key point of the study according to Wykowska? A. How humans can control robots. B. How robots react to human’s gaze. C. Whether robots and humans can think the same way. D. Whether robots’ gaze can have the same impact as humans’. 25. How should the player deal with the car in the game? A. Whether it should keep away from another car. B. When it should be filled up with gas. C. What speed it should run at. D. Where it should be parked. 26. What do the findings intend to state? A. The working principle of human-like robots. B. The application strategy of human-like robots. C. The perfection of human-like robots’ actions. D. The improvement of human-like robots’ assessment. 【答案】23. B 24. D 25. A 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机器人眼神凝视对人类决策的影响及研究发现。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“During breaks in the game, players had to look at the robot. Sometimes the robot would look back and at other times it would look away. (在游戏的间歇，玩家必须看着机器人。有时机器人会回看，有时则会移开目光)”可知，此时机器人有时与参与者进行眼神交流。故选B。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““The gaze is an extremely important social signal,” said the lead writer, Professor Agnieszka Wykowska, “The question is whether the robot’ s gaze will cause very similar mechanisms (机制) in the human brain as a human’s gaze would. (“目光是一个极其重要的社会信号，”首席作者Agnieszka Wykowska教授说，“问题是，机器人的目光是否会在人类大脑中引发与人类目光相似的机制)”可知，研究的关键点是机器人凝视是否会对人类产生与人类凝视相同的影响。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each player had to decide whether to permit a car to run straight toward another car or to turn to avoid a crash. (每个玩家都必须决定是否让自己的车直行朝向另一辆车，或者转弯以避免碰撞)”可知，玩家需要决定车辆是否应该避开另一辆车。故选A。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The findings could be useful for deciding where and how human-like robots might be placed. “When we understand when and how robots change people’s social behavior, then we can decide in which sort of context (环境) this is desirable and beneficial for humans and in which context something should not occur,” Wykowska said. (这些发现对于决定仿人机器人应放置在哪里以及如何放置很有帮助。“当我们理解机器人在何时以及如何改变人们的社会行为时，我们就可以决定在何种情况下这种变化对人类是有利的，而在何种情况下不应该发生，”Wykowska说)”可推知，研究发现旨在说明仿人机器人应用策略的问题。故选B。 D Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility (生育) rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on Wednesday reported that the total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, fell to 1.20, continuously dropping for the eighth year. The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899. Meanwhile, the number of deaths rose by 6,886 from the year of 2022, reaching a record high of 1,575,936. The number of marriages also fell, dropping by 30,213 from the year of 2022 to 474,717, the lowest since World War II. Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining (下滑的) birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation. To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances (补贴) and parental leave. Starting in the year of 2026, this new child-rearing support will be funded by higher monthly health insurance fees. Key changes include extending child allowance coverage from age 15 to age 18 and removing the income limit for parents and guardians. Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. Other measures include increased benefits for parents taking childcare leave and expanded daycare services for children, regardless of their parents’ employment (就业) status. 27. How many babies were born in Japan in 2022? A. 474,717. B. 727,277. C. 770,759. D. 1,575,936. 28. What is the main topic of Paragraph 3? A. Fall of the number of marriages. B. Causes of the declining birthrate. C. Effects of the declining birthrate. D. Challenge of balancing work and childcare. 29. How can parents who have a third child benefit from the new measures? A. They will be supplied with free milk powder. B. They will be provided with low-rent housing. C. They will get a higher monthly allowance. D. They will get more monthly salaries. 30. What is the best title for the news report? A. Japan passes new law to increase birthrate B. Daycare services for children expanded in Japan C. More young Japanese people unwilling to marry D. Number of deaths in Japan reaches a record high 【答案】27. C 28. B 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了日本生育率和出生人数创历史新低，因此采取更多法律措施支持生育，包括扩大儿童补贴、延长育儿假等。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899.(日本2023年的新生儿数量为727277人，比2022年减少了43482人，是1899年有记录以来的最低水平。)”可知，2023年日本出生婴儿数量比2022年减少了43482人，降至727277人，因此可以反推出2022年日本出生婴儿数量为727277 + 43482 = 770759人。故选C项。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation.( 晚婚和经济问题通常被认为是出生率下降的原因。官员们表示，经济不稳定以及平衡工作和育儿的挑战等各种因素共同导致了这一危急局面。)”可知，晚婚和经济问题是生育率下降的原因，官员表示经济不稳定和工作与育儿之间难以平衡等多种因素共同导致了这一严峻形势，因此第三段主要讲述的是生育率下降的原因。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. (此外，第三个或更多孩子的每月津贴将增加一倍，达到3万日元（192美元），这些变化将在几个月内生效。)”可知，有三个或更多孩子的家庭每月补贴将翻倍至30000日元（192美元），因此有三个孩子的父母可以从新措施中获得更高的每月补贴。故选C项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023(随着2023年日本总生育率和出生人数创下历史新低，日本将采取更多法律措施支持生育。)”可知，日本2023年的总和生育率和出生人数创历史新低，因此采取更多法律措施支持生育，再根据最后一段“To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances and parental leave(为了解决生育率下降的问题，日本周三通过了一项法律，扩大每月儿童补贴和育儿假)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是日本通过新法律增加生育率。A选项“Japan passes new law to increase birthrate(日本通过新法律提高出生率)”符合文章标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. ___31___ Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches. “Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok’s powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most,” said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic. Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. ___32___ “All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly,” said Dana. ___33___ “On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt,” said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can’t capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks. Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. ___34___ Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. “Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations,” she added. Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. ___35___ Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos. “Even if people aren’t interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches,” Sheares told ABC News. A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google. B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants. C. TikTok’s funny videos also make some kids addicted. D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits. E. But TikTok’s personalized videos helped her out of the situation. F Being able to see scenes of real people also makes Dana feel trust in them. G. Now, it has become one of the biggest search engines among young people. 【答案】31. G 32. E 33. F 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了TikTok作为搜索引擎在年轻人中的流行，与传统搜索引擎如谷歌相比的优势，以及年轻人对TikTok和谷歌的不同使用偏好。 【31题详解】 上文“TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. (TikTok由中国字节跳动公司所有，因其走红的舞蹈视频和流行音乐而闻名。)”介绍了TikTok的特点，下文“Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches. (谷歌数据显示，近40%出生于1997年至2012年的人更喜欢使用TikTok进行在线搜索。)”说明TikTok在年轻人中作为搜索引擎很受欢迎。所以空白处应填的内容应能体现出TikTok的这一变化或地位。选项G“现在，它已经成为年轻人中最大的搜索引擎之一”正好说明了这一点，承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 【32题详解】 上文“Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. (Dana说她一直注意力集中时间很短。当她使用传统搜索引擎时，她总是在文字海洋中迷失方向。)”说明Dana在使用传统搜索引擎时遇到了困难，下文“All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly. (我搜索的所有视频都出乎意料地符合我的口味，而且我能很快得到我想要的信息。)”说明TikTok的个性化视频解决了Dana使用传统搜索引擎时遇到的问题。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出这一点。选项E“但TikTok的个性化视频帮她摆脱了困境”承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【33题详解】 下文“On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt. (在TikTok上，你能看到人们吃了什么，他们感觉如何。)”说明TikTok能看到真实的人的场景。选项F“能够看到真实的人的场景也让Dana对他们产生了信任感”符合语境。故选F。 【34题详解】 上文“Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. (像Dana一样，许多Z世代的人倾向于在TikTok上搜索更轻松的话题。)”说明Z世代在TikTok上的搜索偏好，下文“Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. (来自美国的Izabell Bullard就是其中之一。这位19岁的年轻人说，她经常在TikTok上搜索名人新闻、食谱、时尚小贴士和娱乐推荐等内容。)”举例说明了Z世代在TikTok上搜索的内容。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出Z世代在TikTok上搜索轻松话题的同时，对于更严肃或需要深入研究的话题，他们更倾向于使用其他搜索引擎，如谷歌。选项A“同时，他们把更严肃的话题留给谷歌”承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 【35题详解】 上文“Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. (即便如此，根据社交媒体顾问Adrienne Sheares的说法，像TikTok这样在网上搜索时使用图片和视频的趋势可能会持续下去。)”提到了在线搜索时使用图片和视频的趋势，下文“Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos. (谷歌也尝试了一个实验，让用户可以通过文字和照片进行搜索。)”举例说明其他搜索引擎也在尝试适应这种趋势。所以空白处应填的句子应能体现出这种趋势的影响或其他搜索引擎的应对。选项D“他组建了一个Z世代焦点小组来讨论他们的搜索习惯”提到了对Z世代搜索习惯的研究，这可以间接说明搜索引擎可能会根据这些研究结果来调整自己的策略以适应趋势，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In March 2017, I was invited to a Google workshop, and then I was asked to present some ideas in front of a group of people.

It seemed as if the Texas sky were sobbing (啜泣). I didn’t know what kind of cancer Mrs. Hastings had until later, but I knew her condition was serious — very serious. I love Mr. and Mrs. Hastings almost as much as I love my own parents, and Alice is my best friend. But I didn’t want to go to school that day. And I sure didn’t want to see Alice. What could I possibly say to her? What do people say to their friends at such a time? I tried every trick I knew to avoid going to school. But my mother insisted. “You have a history test this morning, Linda,” she said, looking at me as if she’d crawled into my mind and knew I was just making excuses. Then she smiled and said, “Be sure to stay close to Alice, especially today, because that poor girl is going to need your strength.” Strength? What was Mother talking about? I had no strength. I didn’t even know what to say to my best friend. I hid out in the reading room between classes in the hope of avoiding meeting with Alice, but she was never out of my thoughts. I kept trying to come up with something appropriate to say to her because I really wanted to get it right. Alice and I had the last class in Mrs. Green’s class. I’d avoided seeing her all day, I was going to have to face her in the last period, and I still didn’t have a plan. However, I worried needlessly because Alice never showed up for class. When the English class was over, Mrs. Green said, “Linda, Alice Hastings is your best friend, and she is coming here in a few minutes to get her lesson assignments.” It seemed as if something was torturing (折磨) my heart and I trembled inwardly. I still didn’t know what to say to Alice, and time was running out. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I left the classroom, racing down the hall and out of the front gate of our school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drew nearer to her, my throat tightened, making it impossible to speak. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I left the classroom, racing down the hall and out of the front gate of our school. I was so nervous to see her. I told myself to calm down and thought about what my mother had told me this morning. I said to myself, “I am her best friend. Encouraging her to face her mother’s illness bravely is what I should do.” I wrote down the words which I wanted to say, hoping my letter would comfort her and give her courage. After finishing the letter, a familiar figure came into my sight. That was Alice. I ran to her immediately. As I drew nearer to her, my throat tightened, making it impossible to speak. I wanted to reach out to her, to offer a hug or at least a reassuring smile, but my body seemed frozen in place. Alice looked at me and tears dropped from her eyes. I hugged her and summoned up the courage to say, “I am sorry to know your mother’s illness. Remember whenever you need help, and I will be your side. Be brave and don’t let your mother down. Then I handed my letter to her. Alice took over it and held my hand tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文主要讲述了主人公在得知好友爱丽丝的母亲患上重病后，内心挣扎不知如何面对爱丽丝。在母亲的鼓励下，主人公决定给爱丽丝写信安慰她，但在见到爱丽丝时仍紧张得说不出话。最终，主人公鼓起勇气拥抱了爱丽丝，并向她表达了自己的支持和鼓励，同时将写好的信交给了她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我离开教室，跑过大厅，冲出学校的大门。”可知，第一段可描写作者急切盼望见到爱丽丝和内心的苦苦挣扎与纠结。 ②由第二段首句内容“我越靠近她，喉咙就越紧，说不出话来。”可知，第二段可描写作者给予爱丽丝安慰并鼓励她。 2.续写线索： 听从妈妈的建议给爱丽丝写信——等待爱丽丝——鼓起勇气给爱丽丝送信——爱丽丝接受作者信件——作者表达歉意以及鼓励——二人和好如初 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①写下：write down/set down ②.鼓起勇气：summoned up the courage/pluck up the courage ③.拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①.紧张的：nervous/intense ②.勇敢地：bravely/courageously 【点睛】[高分句型1].

She has been recognized by the media as one of the youngest and most successful business owners in America. When she was a kid, Zandra always loved lip balms(润唇膏) and bought a lot of them. But she found they eventually hurt her lips instead of relieving the dryness because of all the chemicals in them. She then started experimenting with different ingredients(成分) together with her mom. They tried a lot of times until they found the natural and healthy combinations they liked. Slowly, Zandra began selling her products at local farmers’ markets and trade events. Before her 10th birthday, she launched her brand and hoped it would inspire other young girls. Soon, it became a challenge for Zandra to separate her personal interests from what her customers usually wanted. “There are a lot of ideas that I feel are excellent but wouldn’t fit into the market,” she said. Her business being part of the market, Zandra recognized the issue and improved her products after truly listening to customers. “There are so many brands doing similar things, but there is still so much room to grow. Your customers are out there, and you just have to reach out to them. That’s what will set you apart,” the 23-year-old shared. When asked about her experience as a promising young businesswoman, Zandra said, “It wasn’t frightening. When you are young, fear doesn’t have a strong hold on your mindset. That maybe it was not going to work never really crossed my mind.” Characterized by encouraging statements and featuring a playful color combination, the packaging is a big part of why Zandra’s business has been so successful. “There are a lot of products on the market that seem natural, but they actually aren’t,” she said. “I make sure that my packaging can help people understand what each term means, and how to read and check ingredients.” 19. What contributed to Zandra’s getting into the skincare business? A. Her goal of providing local people with cheap skin products. B. Her wish to give a hand to some poor girls. C. Her interest in doing chemical experiments. D. Her desire to create skin-friendly products. 20. How did Zandra deal with the trouble in her business? A. She took inspiration from successful businesswomen. B. She made an effort to meet real market needs. C. She stood by her own business decisions. D. She cooperated with powerful brands. 21. Why has Zandra succeeded in her business according to Zandra herself? A. Her work experience. B. Her parents’ support. C. Her youthful positivity. D. Her traditional thinking. 22. What does Zandra expect her packaging to do? A. Encourage customers to be aware of environment problems. B. Educate customers about product knowledge. C. Collect customers’ opinions on skincare. D. Draw customers’ attention to the color. C Making eye contact with a robot can be a very strange experience. Scientists even have a name for the feeling: the “mysterious valley”. Now, researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Italy have found that it is more than just a feeling. They ran an experiment that showed how a robot’s gaze (凝视) can trick people into thinking they are socially interacting with a human being. That experience can slow a person’s ability to make decisions. “The gaze is an extremely important social signal,” said the lead writer, Professor Agnieszka Wykowska, “The question is whether the robot’ s gaze will cause very similar mechanisms (机制) in the human brain as a human’s gaze would.” The team asked 40 participants to play a video game of “chicken”. Each player had to decide whether to permit a car to run straight toward another car or to turn to avoid a crash. The people played against a human-like robot sitting across from them. During breaks in the game, players had to look at the robot. Sometimes the robot would look back and at other times it would look away. As the interactions happened, the scientists collected data on participants’ behavior and brain activity. “Our results show the gaze of the robot had an impact on the way humans made decisions and humans’ responses, so humans were much slower in making decisions in the game,” Wykowska said. Given that the robot is designed to copy the shape and appearance of people, it’s not altogether surprising perhaps that its gaze can influence people’s attention. The findings could be useful for deciding where and how human-like robots might be placed. “When we understand when and how robots change people’s social behavior, then we can decide in which sort of context (环境) this is desirable and beneficial for humans and in which context something should not occur,” Wykowska said. 23. What did the robots do when participants looked at them during breaks? A They sat among the participants for a while. B. They made eye contact with the participants. C. They greeted the participants in a polite way. D. They had a chat with the participants. 24. What is the key point of the study according to Wykowska? A. How humans can control robots. B. How robots react to human’s gaze. C. Whether robots and humans can think the same way. D. Whether robots’ gaze can have the same impact as humans’. 25. How should the player deal with the car in the game? A. Whether it should keep away from another car. B. When it should be filled up with gas. C. What speed it should run at. D. Where it should be parked. 26. What do the findings intend to state? A. The working principle of human-like robots. B. The application strategy of human-like robots. C. The perfection of human-like robots’ actions. D. The improvement of human-like robots’ assessment. D Japan turns to more legal measures to support child-bearing as its total fertility (生育) rate and number of births hit new record lows in 2023. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan on Wednesday reported that the total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, fell to 1.20, continuously dropping for the eighth year. The number of babies born in Japan in 2023 dropped by 43,482 from the year of 2022 to 727,277, the lowest since record-keeping began in 1899. Meanwhile, the number of deaths rose by 6,886 from the year of 2022, reaching a record high of 1,575,936. The number of marriages also fell, dropping by 30,213 from the year of 2022 to 474,717, the lowest since World War II. Late marriages and financial concerns are often regarded as reasons for the declining (下滑的) birthrate. Officials said that various factors, such as economic instability and the challenge of balancing work and childcare, jointly led to the critical situation. To address the declining birthrate, Japan passed a law on Wednesday that expands monthly child allowances (补贴) and parental leave. Starting in the year of 2026, this new child-rearing support will be funded by higher monthly health insurance fees. Key changes include extending child allowance coverage from age 15 to age 18 and removing the income limit for parents and guardians. Additionally, the monthly allowance for a third or subsequent child will be doubled to 30,000 yen ($192) , with these changes set to take effect in a few months. Other measures include increased benefits for parents taking childcare leave and expanded daycare services for children, regardless of their parents’ employment (就业) status. 27. How many babies were born in Japan in 2022? A. 474,717. B. 727,277. C. 770,759. D. 1,575,936. 28. What is the main topic of Paragraph 3? A. Fall of the number of marriages. B. Causes of the declining birthrate. C. Effects of the declining birthrate. D. Challenge of balancing work and childcare. 29. How can parents who have a third child benefit from the new measures? A. They will be supplied with free milk powder. B. They will be provided with low-rent housing. C. They will get a higher monthly allowance. D. They will get more monthly salaries. 30. What is the best title for the news report? A. Japan passes new law to increase birthrate B. Daycare services for children expanded in Japan C. More young Japanese people unwilling to marry D. Number of deaths in Japan reaches a record high 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been known for its viral dance videos and pop music. ___31___ Google data showed nearly 40 percent of people born between 1997 and 2012 prefer TikTok for online searches. “Compared with traditional search engines like Google, TikTok’s powerful algorithm and visual presentation are what I love the most,” said a20-year-old girl Dana from the Czech Republic. Dana said that she has always had a short attention span. When she used traditional search engines, she always lost her way in a sea of words. ___32___ “All of the videos I searched for surprisingly met my tastes and I could get the information I wanted very quickly,” said Dana. ___33___ “On TikTok, you see what people ate and how they felt,” said Dana, adding that a written review of a restaurant can’t capture its sense of atmosphere, food or drinks. Like Dana, many Gen Zers tend to search for lighter topics on TikTok. ___34___ Izabell Bullard from the US is one of them. The 19-year-old said she often searches for things like celebrity news, recipes, fashion tips and entertainment recommendations on TikTok. “Nevertheless, when forming my personal opinion on heated topics, I prefer to use Google to gather more information from reputable media sources and organizations,” she added. Even so, the trend of using images and videos during online searches like TikTok could be here to stay, according to Adrienne Sheares, a social media consultant. ___35___ Google also tried an experiment to let users search by using both text and photos. “Even if people aren’t interested in, say, TikTok, I think what we are going to start to see is more visual during online searches,” Sheares told ABC News. A. Meanwhile, they leave the heavier topics to Google. B. Young people like to try Internet-famous restaurants. C. TikTok’s funny videos also make some kids addicted. D. He formed a Gen Z focus group to discuss their searching habits. E. But TikTok’s personalized videos helped her out of the situation. F.

It seemed as if the Texas sky were sobbing (啜泣). I didn’t know what kind of cancer Mrs. Hastings had until later, but I knew her condition was serious — very serious. I love Mr. and Mrs. Hastings almost as much as I love my own parents, and Alice is my best friend. But I didn’t want to go to school that day. And I sure didn’t want to see Alice. What could I possibly say to her? What do people say to their friends at such a time? I tried every trick I knew to avoid going to school. But my mother insisted. “You have a history test this morning, Linda,” she said, looking at me as if she’d crawled into my mind and knew I was just making excuses. Then she smiled and said, “Be sure to stay close to Alice, especially today, because that poor girl is going to need your strength.” Strength? What was Mother talking about? I had no strength. I didn’t even know what to say to my best friend. I hid out in the reading room between classes in the hope of avoiding meeting with Alice, but she was never out of my thoughts. I kept trying to come up with something appropriate to say to her because I really wanted to get it right. Alice and I had the last class in Mrs. Green’s class. I’d avoided seeing her all day, I was going to have to face her in the last period, and I still didn’t have a plan. However, I worried needlessly because Alice never showed up for class. When the English class was over, Mrs. Green said, “Linda, Alice Hastings is your best friend, and she is coming here in a few minutes to get her lesson assignments.” It seemed as if something was torturing (折磨) my heart and I trembled inwardly. I still didn’t know what to say to Alice, and time was running out. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I left the classroom, racing down the hall and out of the front gate of our school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drew nearer to her, my throat tightened, making it impossible to speak. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
