The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together.” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with diverse backgrounds overcome cultural shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces tailored to their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly bonds the performers.” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people with mental disabilities relax and find comfort. “Music is constantly developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow.” he said. With a passion for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What do we know about Kutin? A. He blends east and west in music. B. He received music education in China. C. He thinks nature is vital in Chinese music. D. He prefers Chinese music to Western music. 5. What is Kutin’s belief about music? A. Music enhances personal abilities. B. Music removes cultural differences. C. Music bears the magic to unite people. D. Music expresses the philosophy of life. 6. What can we learn from the example in paragraph 4? A. Kutin’s music is popular. B. Kutin’s music is emotional. C. Kutin’s music is instructive. D. Kutin’s music is traditional. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Song Of Nature B. A Rhyme Of Kindness C. A Tune Of Happiness D. A Symphony Of Harmony 【答案】4 A 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了音乐教师Petar Kutin的音乐理念与实践。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. (他巧妙地结合了中西音乐元素，并与中国音乐家合作创作原创作品)”可知，Kutin在音乐中融合了东西方元素。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together. (我相信音乐是一种极具力量的语言，能够将人们团结在一起)”可知，Kutin认为音乐具有将人们团结在一起的魔力。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students, explaining what frugality mean — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. (Kutin还通过音乐向学生传递有意义的信息。他和学生们一起创作了一首关于节俭的歌曲的歌词，向学生们解释节俭的含义 ——重复使用物品，而不是随意丢弃，避免浪费。他们把这个理念变成了一首歌，然后又制作成了一个音乐视频，几乎每周都会播放)”可知，这个例子表明Kutin的音乐具有教育意义，能够传递有意义的信息。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. (对于接受过广泛西方音乐训练的库廷来说，中国音乐有着独特的魅力。他巧妙地将中西方音乐元素融合在一起，并与中国音乐家合作创作原创作品。在他的最新作品之一中，库廷将小提琴声与二胡声相融合，再配上蛙鸣和鸟鸣，创作出了一首和谐动人的乐曲)”可知，文章主要讲述了音乐教师Petar Kutin如何通过音乐促进不同文化背景的人们之间的连接，创造和谐的社会氛围。他不仅在学校教授音乐，还通过音乐传递节俭等有意义的信息，并为社会公益事业创作音乐。因此，D项“A Symphony Of Harmony (和谐的交响乐)”最符合文章主旨，既体现了Kutin的音乐理念，也概括了他在音乐方面的实践。故选D。 C Scammers (骗子) are becoming tricky, turning to artificial intelligence to better cheat their victims out of money. This includes using deep fakes to present themselves as someone else. Now, AI is being used in the fight back with telecom company O2 employing an AI-powered granny in the battle. Daisy, an AI-generated grandma created by British telecom company O2 as the ultimate scam fighter, is a new AI tool with the voice of a grandmother designed to talk with scammers and “waste as much of their time as possible”. Basically, she rambles on (絮叨) about anything and everything to keep them away from real people. While Daisy may sound like a human, she is essentially an AI large language model with the character application of a grandma. The company worked with known scam artists to train Daisy and used an approach called number seeding to get Daisy’s phone number added to a list of online “mugs lists” — lists used by scammers targeting U. K. consumers. She functions by listening to the scammers and translating their voice to text. The AI then searches its large database to find an appropriate response, based on the specific scam training she’s received, and translates that text response to speech for Daisy to reply. All this happens in seconds with no additional input needed. The goal is to keep the scammer on the phone for as long as possible by engaging them in a lifelike, but lengthy conversation. “Daisy is turning the tables on scammers — outsmarting them at their own cruel game simply by keeping them on the line.” Murray Mackenzie, Director of Fraud at O2, explained. O2 also hopes to draw attention to scams by warning consumers to be cautious about who they may be speaking to. “No matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone may be, they aren’t always who you think they are.” Murray said. “In terms of tips and tricks, whether you’re shopping online, reviewing your emails, or receiving an out-of-the-blue phone call, it’s important to always remain cautious.” 8. How does the AI granny fight against scammers? A. By telling scammers funny stories. B. By taking up scammers’ time. C. By talking scammers into quitting. D. By keeping scammers entertained. 9. Why does Daisy receive scam training? A. To react to scammers properly. B. To recognize scammers’ tricks. C. To make herself more creative. D. To improve her translation skills. 10. What do the underlined words “turning the tables on” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Serving. B. Defeating. C. Educating. D. Tracking. 11. What is Murray’s suggestion to consumers? A. Stop answering calls. B. Use particular software. C. Avoid shopping online. D. Raise anti-scam awareness. 【答案】8 B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国电信公司O2利用人工智能奶奶Daisy对抗骗子的情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Daisy, an AI-generated grandma created by British telecom company O2 as the ultimate scam fighter, is a new AI tool with the voice of a grandmother designed to talk with scammers and “waste as much of their time as possible”.(黛西是英国电信公司O2创造的一个人工智能奶奶，是终极反诈骗斗士，这是一个有着奶奶声音的新人工智能工具，旨在与骗子交谈并“尽可能多地浪费他们的时间”)”可知，人工智能奶奶通过占用骗子的时间来对抗骗子。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The AI then searches its large database to find an appropriate response, based on the specific scam training she’s received, and translates that text response to speech for Daisy to reply.(然后，人工智能根据黛西接受的特定诈骗训练，在其庞大的数据库中搜索合适的回复，并将文本回复转化为语音让黛西回答)”可知，黛西接受诈骗训练是为了能恰当地回应骗子。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段破折号后面的内容“outsmarting them at their own cruel game simply by keeping them on the line(仅仅通过让他们在线上交谈，就在他们自己残酷的游戏中智胜他们)”可知，Daisy通过让骗子一直在线上而击败了他们，由此可知划线词意思是“击败”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的““No matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone may be, they aren’t always who you think they are.” Murray said. “In terms of tips and tricks, whether you’re shopping online, reviewing your emails, or receiving an out-of-the-blue phone call, it’s important to always remain cautious.”(“不管电话另一端的人多么有说服力，他们并不总是你认为的那个人。”默里说。“就技巧而言，无论你是在网上购物、查看电子邮件，还是接到一个突然的电话，始终保持谨慎是很重要的。”)”可知，Murray建议消费者提高反诈骗意识。故选D。 D Many people think that arguing is simply stating their prejudices in a new form. This is why many people also think that arguments are unpleasant and pointless. One dictionary definition for “argument” is “disagreement”. But it is not what arguments really are. An argument is not simply a statement of certain views or a disagreement. Arguments are efforts to support certain views with reasons. Arguments in this sense are not pointless; in fact, they are essential, because they help to find out which views are better than others. Not all views are equal. Some conclusions can be supported by good reasons. Others have much weaker support. But often we don’t know which are which. We need to give arguments for different conclusions and then assess those arguments to see how strong they really are. Here argument is a means of inquiry. Some philosophers have argued, for instance, that the factory farming of animals for meat causes great suffering to animals and is therefore immoral. Are they right? We can’t necessarily tell just by consulting our current opinions. Many issues are involved — we need to examine the arguments. Do we have moral responsibility for other species, or is only human suffering really bad? How well can humans live without meat? Some vegetarians have lived to very old ages. Does this show that vegetarian diets are healthier? Or is it irrelevant when you consider that some non-vegetarians also have lived to very old ages 2. All these questions need to be considered carefully, and the answers are not clear in advance. Argument is essential for another reason too. Once we have arrived at a conclusion well supported by reasons, we use arguments to explain and defend it. A good argument doesn’t merely repeat conclusions. Instead, it offers reasons and evidence so that other people can make up their minds for themselves. If you become convinced that we should indeed change the way we raise and use animals, for example, you must use arguments to explain how you arrived at your conclusion. That is how you will convince others: by offering the reasons and evidence that convinced you. It is not a mistake to have strong views. The mistake is to have nothing else. 12. What is “argument” according to the author? A. Debating with others. B. Sticking to a belief. C. Reaching an agreement. D. Backing up a conclusion. 13. Why are arguments essential? A. They can weigh up opinions. B. They can tell right from wrong. C. They can change people’s minds. D. They can explain complex concepts. 14. How does the writer support his opinion in paragraph 3? A. By stating solid faces. B. By giving a clear definition. C. By reasoning with an example. D. By exploring with questions. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Holding a firm stand counts. B. Facts speak louder than opinions. C. Demonstration empowers argument. D. A good conclusion deserves repeating. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了论证的真正含义及论证重要的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“An argument is not simply a statement of certain views or a disagreement. Arguments are efforts to support certain views with reasons.(论证不仅仅是对某些观点的陈述或分歧。论证是用理由来支持某些观点的努力)”可知，在作者看来，“论证” 是支持一个结论，也就是为结论提供支撑。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Arguments in this sense are not pointless; in fact, they are essential, because they help to find out which views are better than others. Not all views are equal. Some conclusions can be supported by good reasons. Others have much weaker support. But often we don’t know which are which. We need to give arguments for different conclusions and then assess those arguments to see how strong they really are.(从这个意义上说，论证并非毫无意义；事实上，它们是必不可少的，因为它们有助于找出哪些观点比其他观点更好。并非所有观点都是平等的。有些结论可以有充分的理由支持。另一些观点的支持力度则弱得多。但我们常常不知道哪些是哪些。我们需要为不同的结论给出论证，然后评估这些论证，看看它们到底有多有力)”可知，论证是必不可少的，因为它们可以衡量各种观点。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Here argument is a means of inquiry. Some philosophers have argued, for instance, that the factory farming of animals for meat causes great suffering to animals and is therefore immoral. Are they right? We can’t necessarily tell just by consulting our current opinions. Many issues are involved — we need to examine the arguments. Do we have moral responsibility for other species, or is only human suffering really bad?(在此，论证是一种探究的手段。例如，一些哲学家认为，为获取肉类而对动物进行工厂化养殖会给动物带来巨大的痛苦，因此这是不道德的行为。他们说得对吗？仅仅依据我们现有的观点，我们不一定能判断对错。这其中涉及到许多问题——我们需要审视这些论证。我们对其他物种负有道德责任吗？还是只有人类所遭受的痛苦才真正算得上是糟糕的呢？)”以及本段中的其它问题可推知，作者通过举哲学家关于动物工厂化养殖的例子，并对其进行推理分析来支持自己的观点。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “A good argument doesn’t merely repeat conclusions. Instead, it offers reasons and evidence so that other people can make up their minds for themselves. If you become convinced that we should indeed change the way we raise and use animals, for example, you must use arguments to explain how you arrived at your conclusion. That is how you will convince others: by offering the reasons and evidence that convinced you.(一个好的论证不仅仅是重复结论。相反，它提供理由和证据，以便其他人能够自己做出决定。例如，如果你确信我们确实应该改变我们饲养和使用动物的方式，你必须用论证来解释你是如何得出这个结论的。这就是你说服别人的方式：通过提供说服你的理由和证据)”可推知，作者暗示了论证过程中提供证据和理由的重要性，即通过展示证据来增强论证的说服力。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The increasing reliance on smartphones among children has raised significant concerns. Julie Scelfo, founder of Mothers Against Media Addiction, argues that smartphones have replaced vital in-person experiences essential for healthy social, emotional, and academic development. ____16____ A school in Minnesota carried out a phone ban in recent years. ____17____ Students reported feeling more connected and less anxious without constant access to their devices. Similarly, Wis. high school in Milwaukee collects phones daily, leading to improved focus and cooperation among students. ____18____ A decade ago, Graham Dugoni founded Yondr, which produces phone lockers designed to keep students off devices during school hours. They lock the phones until the end of the day when students tap them against a magnet to unlock. Dugoni reports that over 2 million students in America now use these lockers. This method has proved to be effective. The evidence lies in increased library usage and enhanced socialization. Schools carrying out these measures aim to create a more focused environment where students can grow socially and academically, free from the interruptions of constant connectivity. ____19____ Some schools lack resources. Some students care for sisters or brothers after school and need to contact parents. Students whose first language is not English can benefit from using a translation app during class. Due to the dependence on smartphones, students will eventually need to learn how to have a phone without constantly checking social media. ____20____ Learning from a young age that there’s a time and place to use our technology would benefit them in the long run. A. Some schools are taking it a step further. B. They need to learn a little bit more self-control. C. It just got to be really tiring to deal with phones. D. Some schools are also turning to lockers for help. E. However, enforcing phone bans can be challenging. F. It resulted in increased student engagement and social interaction. G. In response to these concerns, many schools adopt innovative solutions. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. E 20.

Occasionally, the volcano erupts and I say something I regret. The best way I know to repair the damage is with food, which can open the door of a heart that is hurt, even if only a little. Weeks before, I’d displeased a friend and hurt my teenage son, all within six hours. I felt like a hurricane that tore through other people’s lives. I’d pulled together a dozen of chocolate cookies dough (面团), baking a half-dozen to beg forgiveness from my friend and my son, and putting the remaining half-dozen in the freezer, unbaked. Last week, the frozen cookie dough saved me from myself once again. It all started when my new neighbor, a college student across the street, placed a Ping-Pong table on his front lawn. I had spent years living in a college town, so I knew that a Ping-Pong table on a front lawn was not just a Ping-Pong table. It was a beer-pong table. The students embraced beer pong as a lifestyle, with the sounds of beer pong extending late into the night and early into the morning. The best we could do was move to a quieter part of town, which we did at great expense. And now, here was this guy, placing a new beer-pong table within full view of my new kitchen window. When I saw that beer-pong table, the memories of drunk and loud college students made my blood boil. So I walked right up to the student’s house, past that stupid table, knocked on the door and told him that it had to go. I expected him to apologize and remove the table. However, he returned my anger in the same manner. “Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And what gives you the right to make such a silly demand?” His rudeness only made me angrier. I felt a drag on my arm: my husband. He had seen the table and had predicted I’d be on the warpath. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As he pulled me away, I shouted at the young man and told him this wasn’t over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I walked what felt like miles across the street to the young man’s doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he pulled me away, I shouted at the young man and told him this wasn’t over. My husband led me back home, my anger still boiling. But as I entered the kitchen, my eyes landed on the frozen cookie dough in the freezer. I took a deep breath, realizing that I had let my temper get the best of me again. I decided to make the cookies, hoping they could work their magic like they had before. The sweet aroma of chocolate filled the air, which soothed my lingering anger. Then I walked what felt like miles across the street to the young man’s doorstep. With a plate of freshly baked cookies in hand, I knocked on the door. When he opened it, his expression was still guarded. With my face flushing, I apologized, “These cookies are my way of asking for your forgiveness.” He looked at the cookies, then back at me, and replied, “I’m sorry too.” He even offered to move the table to a less visible spot. At that moment, I realized once again that food had the power to bridge the gap between people, and to heal the wounds caused by angry words. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者公因情绪失控与邻居发生冲突，随后通过烘焙饼干来修复关系的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他把我拉开时，我对那个年轻人大喊大叫，告诉他事情还没完。”可知，第一段可描写作者冷静下来以及决定做美食。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我走了好几英里的路，穿过街道来到那个年轻人的家门口。”可知，第二段可描写作者做好了饼干送给年轻人来请求原谅以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：意识到自己的冲动——做饼干——将饼干送给年轻人——道歉——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/go into ②决定：decide / determine ③提供：offer /provide ④消除：bridge /get rid of 情绪类 愤怒的：angry/annoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1] But as I entered the kitchen, my eyes landed on the frozen cookie dough in the freezer.

B On the morning of November 13, a graceful violin melody flowed along the Qingdao seashore, blending (融合) perfectly with the rhythm of the ocean waves. The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been extensively trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special charm. He skillfully combines Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin blends his violin with the erhu, alongside the sounds of frogs and birds, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an incredibly powerful language that brings people together.” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao, this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with diverse backgrounds overcome cultural shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces tailored to their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly bonds the performers.” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the lyrics of a song about frugality together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people with mental disabilities relax and find comfort. “Music is constantly developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow.” he said. With a passion for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What do we know about Kutin? A. He blends east and west in music. B. He received music education in China. C. He thinks nature is vital in Chinese music. D. He prefers Chinese music to Western music. 5. What is Kutin’s belief about music? A. Music enhances personal abilities. B. Music removes cultural differences. C. Music bears the magic to unite people. D. Music expresses the philosophy of life. 6. What can we learn from the example in paragraph 4? A. Kutin’s music is popular. B. Kutin’s music is emotional. C. Kutin’s music is instructive. D. Kutin’s music is traditional. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Song Of Nature B. A Rhyme Of Kindness C. A Tune Of Happiness D. A Symphony Of Harmony C Scammers (骗子) are becoming tricky, turning to artificial intelligence to better cheat their victims out of money. This includes using deep fakes to present themselves as someone else. Now, AI is being used in the fight back with telecom company O2 employing an AI-powered granny in the battle. Daisy, an AI-generated grandma created by British telecom company O2 as the ultimate scam fighter, is a new AI tool with the voice of a grandmother designed to talk with scammers and “waste as much of their time as possible”. Basically, she rambles on (絮叨) about anything and everything to keep them away from real people. While Daisy may sound like a human, she is essentially an AI large language model with the character application of a grandma. The company worked with known scam artists to train Daisy and used an approach called number seeding to get Daisy’s phone number added to a list of online “mugs lists” — lists used by scammers targeting U. K. consumers. She functions by listening to the scammers and translating their voice to text. The AI then searches its large database to find an appropriate response, based on the specific scam training she’s received, and translates that text response to speech for Daisy to reply. All this happens in seconds with no additional input needed. The goal is to keep the scammer on the phone for as long as possible by engaging them in a lifelike, but lengthy conversation. “Daisy is turning the tables on scammers — outsmarting them at their own cruel game simply by keeping them on the line.” Murray Mackenzie, Director of Fraud at O2, explained. O2 also hopes to draw attention to scams by warning consumers to be cautious about who they may be speaking to. “No matter how persuasive someone on the other end of the phone may be, they aren’t always who you think they are.” Murray said. “In terms of tips and tricks, whether you’re shopping online, reviewing your emails, or receiving an out-of-the-blue phone call, it’s important to always remain cautious.” 8. How does the AI granny fight against scammers? A. By telling scammers funny stories. B. By taking up scammers’ time. C. By talking scammers into quitting. D. By keeping scammers entertained. 9. Why does Daisy receive scam training? A. To react to scammers properly. B. To recognize scammers’ tricks. C. To make herself more creative. D. To improve her translation skills. 10. What do the underlined words “turning the tables on” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Serving. B. Defeating. C. Educating. D. Tracking. 11. What is Murray’s suggestion to consumers? A. Stop answering calls. B. Use particular software. C. Avoid shopping online. D. Raise anti-scam awareness. D Many people think that arguing is simply stating their prejudices in a new form. This is why many people also think that arguments are unpleasant and pointless. One dictionary definition for “argument” is “disagreement”. But it is not what arguments really are. An argument is not simply a statement of certain views or a disagreement. Arguments are efforts to support certain views with reasons. Arguments in this sense are not pointless; in fact, they are essential, because they help to find out which views are better than others. Not all views are equal. Some conclusions can be supported by good reasons. Others have much weaker support. But often we don’t know which are which. We need to give arguments for different conclusions and then assess those arguments to see how strong they really are. Here argument is a means of inquiry. Some philosophers have argued, for instance, that the factory farming of animals for meat causes great suffering to animals and is therefore immoral. Are they right? We can’t necessarily tell just by consulting our current opinions. Many issues are involved — we need to examine the arguments. Do we have moral responsibility for other species, or is only human suffering really bad? How well can humans live without meat? Some vegetarians have lived to very old ages. Does this show that vegetarian diets are healthier? Or is it irrelevant when you consider that some non-vegetarians also have lived to very old ages 2. All these questions need to be considered carefully, and the answers are not clear in advance. Argument is essential for another reason too. Once we have arrived at a conclusion well supported by reasons, we use arguments to explain and defend it. A good argument doesn’t merely repeat conclusions. Instead, it offers reasons and evidence so that other people can make up their minds for themselves. If you become convinced that we should indeed change the way we raise and use animals, for example, you must use arguments to explain how you arrived at your conclusion. That is how you will convince others: by offering the reasons and evidence that convinced you. It is not a mistake to have strong views. The mistake is to have nothing else. 12. What is “argument” according to the author? A. Debating with others. B. Sticking to a belief. C. Reaching an agreement. D. Backing up a conclusion. 13. Why are arguments essential? A. They can weigh up opinions. B. They can tell right from wrong. C. They can change people’s minds. D. They can explain complex concepts. 14. How does the writer support his opinion in paragraph 3? A. By stating solid faces. B. By giving a clear definition. C. By reasoning with an example. D. By exploring with questions. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Holding a firm stand counts. B. Facts speak louder than opinions. C. Demonstration empowers argument. D. A good conclusion deserves repeating. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The increasing reliance on smartphones among children has raised significant concerns. Julie Scelfo, founder of Mothers Against Media Addiction, argues that smartphones have replaced vital in-person experiences essential for healthy social, emotional, and academic development. ____16____ A school in Minnesota carried out a phone ban in recent years. ____17____ Students reported feeling more connected and less anxious without constant access to their devices. Similarly, Wis. high school in Milwaukee collects phones daily, leading to improved focus and cooperation among students. ____18____ A decade ago, Graham Dugoni founded Yondr, which produces phone lockers designed to keep students off devices during school hours. They lock the phones until the end of the day when students tap them against a magnet to unlock. Dugoni reports that over 2 million students in America now use these lockers. This method has proved to be effective. The evidence lies in increased library usage and enhanced socialization. Schools carrying out these measures aim to create a more focused environment where students can grow socially and academically, free from the interruptions of constant connectivity. ____19____ Some schools lack resources. Some students care for sisters or brothers after school and need to contact parents. Students whose first language is not English can benefit from using a translation app during class. Due to the dependence on smartphones, students will eventually need to learn how to have a phone without constantly checking social media. ____20____ Learning from a young age that there’s a time and place to use our technology would benefit them in the long run. A. Some schools are taking it a step further. B. They need to learn a little bit more self-control. C. It just got to be really tiring to deal with phones. D. Some schools are also turning to lockers for help. E. However, enforcing phone bans can be challenging. F. It resulted in increased student engagement and social interaction. G. In response to these concerns, many schools adopt innovative solutions. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Seeing a doggie walk again is one of the most magical feelings in the world Securing the belt on the wheelchair, I petted Missy on the head.

Occasionally, the volcano erupts and I say something I regret. The best way I know to repair the damage is with food, which can open the door of a heart that is hurt, even if only a little. Weeks before, I’d displeased a friend and hurt my teenage son, all within six hours. I felt like a hurricane that tore through other people’s lives. I’d pulled together a dozen of chocolate cookies dough (面团), baking a half-dozen to beg forgiveness from my friend and my son, and putting the remaining half-dozen in the freezer, unbaked. Last week, the frozen cookie dough saved me from myself once again. It all started when my new neighbor, a college student across the street, placed a Ping-Pong table on his front lawn. I had spent years living in a college town, so I knew that a Ping-Pong table on a front lawn was not just a Ping-Pong table. It was a beer-pong table. The students embraced beer pong as a lifestyle, with the sounds of beer pong extending late into the night and early into the morning. The best we could do was move to a quieter part of town, which we did at great expense. And now, here was this guy, placing a new beer-pong table within full view of my new kitchen window. When I saw that beer-pong table, the memories of drunk and loud college students made my blood boil. So I walked right up to the student’s house, past that stupid table, knocked on the door and told him that it had to go. I expected him to apologize and remove the table. However, he returned my anger in the same manner. “Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And what gives you the right to make such a silly demand?” His rudeness only made me angrier. I felt a drag on my arm: my husband. He had seen the table and had predicted I’d be on the warpath. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As he pulled me away, I shouted at the young man and told him this wasn’t over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I walked what felt like miles across the street to the young man’s doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 AACBC 6-10 ACABB 11-15 BACBC 16-20 ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
