What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis-and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 22. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 23. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A. Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. B When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone. So she started with one person: Colorado state senator (参议员) Lisa Cutter, a strong advocate for the environment. Cutter agreed to meet, and in 2021 she sat down with Madhvi at a bakery — Panera. They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air. Studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to negative developmental effects in children, increased risk of some cancers and reduced immune function. Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them. Madhvi, she says, “really planted the seed.” The following year, Cutter went on to sponsor a PFAS bill that bans “intentionally added” PFAS in a wide range of consumer goods. In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis. After the bill passed, Polis recognized Madhvi’s hard work, inviting her to the bill signing in 2022. It was not the first time that Cutter and Madhvi worked together. In 2021, after Cutter proposed a measure to ban single-use plastic bags in major retail stores and plastic-foam containers in restaurants, Madhvi advocated for that bill too — speaking with city leaders and businesses, and conducting a signature campaign. At the beginning of 2024, that measure finally took full effect. And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says. She has kept up her advocacy locally and abroad. And on a recent vacation in her hometown, she found time to organize a beach cleanup and speak at schools about pollution. 24. Why did Madhvi want to meet Cutter? A. To explore ways to resolve the PFAS problem. B. To prevent her from purchasing PFAS products. C. To seek support for a bill against the use of PFAS. D. To inform her of PFAS’ negative effects on children. 25. How did Madhvi contribute to the passing of the PFAS bill? A. By drafting it together with Cutter. B. By conducting a signature campaign. C. By speaking with influential businesses. D. By gaining support from the government. 26. What can be inferred about Madhvi from the last paragraph? A. She is tired from her work. B. She feels proud of herself. C. She wants to achieve more. D. She cares little about fame. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Madhvi’s Environmental Campaigns B. Colorado’ s Bills on PFAS and Plastics C. A Teen’s Journey to Global Recognition D. A Young Voice against Environmental Damage C Nowadays, social media is widely used by millions of people to connect and share their lives. However, research suggests that excessive(过度) use of social media may lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. One behavior that researchers have focused on recently is photo editing, which involves altering one's appearance in pictures before posting them on social media. While some studies have suggested that photo editing is linked to negative outcomes such as seeing oneself as an object and having low self-esteem, the relationship between these factors is not well understood. Phillip Ozimek and his colleagues conducted a study with 403 young adults recruited through social media platforms to investigate the potential risks associated with photo editing on social media. Participants completed an online survey that included questions about their social media use, photo editing behavior, self-perception as an object, comparisons of physical appearance, self-esteem(自尊), and other relevant factors. To measure photo editing behavior, participants reported how often they edited their selfies before posting them on social media. To assess self-perception as an object and comparisons of physical appearance, participants answered questions about how much they monitored their bodies and compared themselves to others' looks. Finally, participants' self-esteem was measured using a questionnaire that evaluated their overall sense of self-worth. The data showed that higher levels of photo editing were associated with increased self-perception as an object and more comparisons of physical appearance among young adults. These factors, in turn, were related to lower self-esteem. The researchers suggested that photo editing behavior may contribute to feelings of self-perception as an object and basing one's worth on appearance, especially among vulnerable groups like teenagers. They emphasized the need for further research to explore the impact of photo editing on mental health outcomes and understand why people engage in this behavior. Although the study had some limitations, as acknowledged by Ozimek and his colleagues highlighted the importance of considering overall social media use and specific behaviors like photo editing when studying the relationship between social media and mental health outcomes. Interventions(干预) aimed at reducing excessive social media use or promoting healthier engagement with social media could have positive effects on the mental well-being of young people. 28. What were the participants asked to do in the study? A. Fill in a questionnaire about self-worth. B. Compare their looks with others. C. Edit their selfies before posting. D. See themselves as an object. 29. What does the word “vulnerable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Hardly protected. B. Particularly strong. C. Easily influenced. D. Mostly independent. 30. From the passage, what can we infer? A. The higher levels of photo editing, the higher self-esteem. B. Reducing the overuse of social media might be beneficial to well-being. C. Photo editing is the only behavior that affects mental health on social media. D. The study has completely worked out the problem of the overuse of social media. 31. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the popularity of social media. B. To explain the detailed process of a study on photo editing. C. To show teenagers are the most vulnerable group in using social media. D. To explore the relationship between photo editing and negative mental states. D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not？” (meaning “Have you eaten？”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well­formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 32. What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self confidence. B. It misses the real meaning of accents. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It reflects their language levels. 33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To correct a grammatical mistake. B. To show the diversity of dialects. C. To justify the use of dialects. D. To highlight a traditional approach. 34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Seek for an official definition of accents. B. Learn to speak with your local dialect. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Distinguish our local languages from others’. 35. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Standard English Is at Risk B. Accents Enhance Our Identities C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Everyone Has an Accent 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。 Public transportation is not fully used across the globe, even if good transport systems are in place. 36 There are three primary reasons listed below, which all can be solved by good urban planning. 37 For example, in Barcelona, 30% of daily trips are carried out by public transport. In contrast, in Atlanta, this figure drops to 4%. Since Barcelona is 30 times denser(更密集的) than Atlanta, it is easier to provide reliable public transport services. Accessibility is another key factor in public transportation usage. In a comparison of three international cities, though one of them has the highest population density, its public transport use is less than the other two cities. 38 Walkability is also a major component that matters. Studies show that well- maintained and safe streets encourage people to use public transportation. 39 By contrast, narrow or poorly- maintained sidewalks, and fewer trees make streets less walkable. It is in these types of urban environments that people are significantly less likely to use public transport, even if it is only 100 meters away from their homes. Nowadays, city planners have attached great importance to the construction of more public transportation infrastructure(基础设施). 40 And it can promote good urban mobility(移动性) at the same time. However, urban planners should also understand that factors related to the urban fabric(结构) also impact if and how public transport is used. So efforts should also be devoted to improving public environments to encourage the use of public transport, which will result in healthier cities and communities. A. Why is this the case? B. This emphasis aims to reduce the reliance on private vehicles. C. The trend causes cities to become more and more advanced. D. A city’s density directly impacts how public transport services are provided. E. People in big cities need to get out of their cars and use public transportation. F. In such urban environments, people are likelier to go further to access public transport. G. It’s due to its very wide streets, large street blocks and buildings set far from the street edges. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I walked into a part-time role at Moonmilk, our community’s beloved cake and ice cream shop, seeking to increase my summer earnings.

She never missed an opportunity to laugh at me, or even threaten me. I would hear her jeering(嘲讽的) words when I walked out to catch the bus home. I could feel the heat of her stare when I bent in my seat in the cafeteria and avoided looking anywhere near her direction. I was somewhat terrified of her. I knew I had to take action, but how? I was one of those quiet, timid(胆小的) seventh graders who talked non-stop at home but wouldn’t say two words at school. How could I break the ice? My family lived in a small town of about three thousand people, and it seemed that my dad knew every single one of them. What was even more astonishing was that everyone seemed to know him. One day, I asked my mom how this was possible. She thought for a while and then said, “Well, Jenn, your dad never lets anyone stay a stranger. He talks to everyone he sees, and then he gives them that big smile of his. I guess it’s infectious because people just love him.” Mother’s words set me thinking. I could smile. I mean, everyone could do that, right? I decided to try it out. I would take my experiment straight to Rosalie. The next morning, I didn’t hear a single word my math teacher said in the fourth period because I was too busy thinking about what I was about to do. Finally, the bell rang. I gathered my books, slipped them into the locker and headed to the cafeteria. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my hands were sweaty. I ran my tongue over my teeth that felt dryer than the Mojave Desert. Then I did a practice smile that I was sure looked more like a grimace (苦相). I took a deep breath and struggled to my feet to keep moving forward. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)所给开头两段如下： Para 1: I saw Rosalie in the distance coming toward me, looking as mean as ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The third day, unlike the first two times, she gave me a little half-smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考第三次模拟考试(江苏专用) 02 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

M: I agree it is very important but how would you do that? W: What if we start to view nature as our business partner? M: That sounds interesting. What’s your logic? W: Well, think about it. Nature provides us with clean air, water, and resources. It’s like a silent partner in our survival and development. M: True, but aren’t we taking more from our partner than we give back? W: That’s exactly my point. We need to shift from taking to investing. Protecting nature is in our best interest. That’s what people need to understand. M: I see what you mean. We should ensure that our “business partner” does well for the benefit of both sides. W: Exactly. It’s not just about saving trees and animals; it’s also about securing our own future. M: That’s a new and unique way to look at it, nature as a business partner. I like that. W: I’m glad you see the sense of it. Let’s start treating nature with the respect it deserves. After all, we’re all in this business together. 听第9段材料，回答第13至16题。 13. What happened to Mr. Brown’s mobile phone? A. He lost it. B. It ran out of power. C. He changed the number. 14.

A journalist. C. A driver. 【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. B 【原文】 Larry Walters is among the relatively few who have actually turned their dreams into reality. Larry was a driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly. When he graduated from high school, he joined the Air Force in the hope of becoming a pilot. Unfortunately, poor vision disqualified him. So he had to satisfy himself with watching others fly the jets over his backyard. Then one day, Larry bought a tank of helium and 45 weather balloons. Back in his yard, Larry tied the balloons to his lawn chair. He anchored the chair to his jeep and inflated the balloons with helium. Then he packed some sandwiches and drinks. When his preparations were complete, Larry sat in his chair and cut the anchoring string. His plan was to lazily float up to a height of about 30 feet above his backyard, where he would enjoy a few hours of flight before coming back down. When Larry cut the string, he didn’t float lazily up — he shot up! He didn’t level off at 100 feet, nor did he level off at 1,000 feet. He leveled off at 16,000 feet! Eventually, the hanging strings caught in a power line, blacking out a Long Beach neighborhood for 20 minutes. As soon as he hit the ground, he was arrested. As he was being led away in handcuffs, a television reporter Robert Davies called out to ask, “Why did you do it?” Larry replied, “One can’t just sit around and do nothing!” Seriously, though...What are you doing today to make your dreams come true? 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Conversations With Journalists: An Invitation for Teenagers Would your students be excited if your curriculum(课程) included this article? What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis-and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 22. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 23. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A. Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了“与记者的对话”这一活动的详细信息。 21. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Would your students be excited if your curriculum (课程) included this article.(如果你的课程中包含这篇文章，你的学生会兴奋吗？)”可知，文章是写给老师的。故选D。 22. 推理判断题。根据Why We Are Doing This部分“And with mis- and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important.(随着错误信息和虚假信息、生成式人工智能以及对传统媒体的不信任都在增加，我们相信，帮助年轻人了解新闻业的工作原理以及它为何重要，比以往任何时候都更加关键。)”可知，这个项目的目的是让学生深入了解新闻业。故选B。 23. 细节理解题。根据How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work部分“Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the ‘reporter reply’ feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students.(第9-13天：记者使用“记者回复”功能在评论区回复学生，以便读者可以轻松看到回复。然后，学生继续回复记者和其他学生。)”可知，学生在第9-13天有机会向记者提出后续问题。故选C。 B When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone. So she started with one person: Colorado state senator (参议员) Lisa Cutter, a strong advocate for the environment. Cutter agreed to meet, and in 2021 she sat down with Madhvi at a bakery — Panera. They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air. Studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to negative developmental effects in children, increased risk of some cancers and reduced immune function. Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them. Madhvi, she says, “really planted the seed.” The following year, Cutter went on to sponsor a PFAS bill that bans “intentionally added” PFAS in a wide range of consumer goods. In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis. After the bill passed, Polis recognized Madhvi’s hard work, inviting her to the bill signing in 2022. It was not the first time that Cutter and Madhvi worked together. In 2021, after Cutter proposed a measure to ban single-use plastic bags in major retail stores and plastic-foam containers in restaurants, Madhvi advocated for that bill too — speaking with city leaders and businesses, and conducting a signature campaign. At the beginning of 2024, that measure finally took full effect. And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says. She has kept up her advocacy locally and abroad. And on a recent vacation in her hometown, she found time to organize a beach cleanup and speak at schools about pollution. 24. Why did Madhvi want to meet Cutter? A. To explore ways to resolve the PFAS problem. B. To prevent her from purchasing PFAS products. C. To seek support for a bill against the use of PFAS. D. To inform her of PFAS’ negative effects on children. 25. How did Madhvi contribute to the passing of the PFAS bill? A. By drafting it together with Cutter. B. By conducting a signature campaign. C. By speaking with influential businesses. D. By gaining support from the government. 26. What can be inferred about Madhvi from the last paragraph? A. She is tired from her work. B. She feels proud of herself. C. She wants to achieve more. D. She cares little about fame. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Madhvi’s Environmental Campaigns B. Colorado’ s Bills on PFAS and Plastics C. A Teen’s Journey to Global Recognition D. A Young Voice against Environmental Damage 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了13岁女孩Madhvi Chittoor推动PFAS禁令，与参议员合作促成环保法案通过，并持续倡导环保的故事。 24. 推理判断题。文章在第一段“When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone.(当科罗拉多州阿瓦达的Madhvi Chittoor在6岁时得知各种消费品中都含有PFAS时，她想警告所有人)”以及第二段“They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air.(他们谈到了PFAS是如何进入饮用水、土壤、食品和空气的。PFAS是一组自20世纪40年代以来用于消费品的化学制品)”和“Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them.(卡特已经对PFAS有了一些了解，但还不足以促使她起草一项有关PFAS的法案)”可推知，Madhvi想与参议员Cuter会面的目的是要探索解决PFAS向题的解决办法。故选A。 25. 细节理解题。从文章第三段“In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis.(为了让法案获得通过，马德维在州议会作证，并花了几个月的时间与州长贾里德·波利斯(Jared Polis)发电子邮件)”可知，Madhvi在推动PFAS禁令通过中做出的贡献是获得了政府部门的支持。故选D。 26. 推理判断题。从最后一段“And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says.(现年13岁的Madhvi并没有满足于她的荣誉。“还有更多的东西需要被禁止，比如卫生纸和清洁产品中的PFAS，”她说)”可推知，Madhvi想为继续推动环保做出更多。故选C。 27. 主旨大意题。通过第一段的“When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone.(当科罗拉多州阿瓦达的Madhvi Chittoor在6岁时得知各种消费品中都含有PFAS时，她想警告所有人)”和整篇文章的脉络结构，Madhvi在6岁时就向参议员普及PFAS知识并通过努力促进PFAS相关法案的通过，13岁的时候Madhvi不满足现状继续她的环保倡导。由此可知，本文主要讲了一个反对环境破坏的年轻人的故事。故选D。 C Nowadays, social media is widely used by millions of people to connect and share their lives. However, research suggests that excessive(过度) use of social media may lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. One behavior that researchers have focused on recently is photo editing, which involves altering one's appearance in pictures before posting them on social media. While some studies have suggested that photo editing is linked to negative outcomes such as seeing oneself as an object and having low self-esteem, the relationship between these factors is not well understood. Phillip Ozimek and his colleagues conducted a study with 403 young adults recruited through social media platforms to investigate the potential risks associated with photo editing on social media. Participants completed an online survey that included questions about their social media use, photo editing behavior, self-perception as an object, comparisons of physical appearance, self-esteem(自尊), and other relevant factors. To measure photo editing behavior, participants reported how often they edited their selfies before posting them on social media. To assess self-perception as an object and comparisons of physical appearance, participants answered questions about how much they monitored their bodies and compared themselves to others' looks. Finally, participants' self-esteem was measured using a questionnaire that evaluated their overall sense of self-worth. The data showed that higher levels of photo editing were associated with increased self-perception as an object and more comparisons of physical appearance among young adults. These factors, in turn, were related to lower self-esteem. The researchers suggested that photo editing behavior may contribute to feelings of self-perception as an object and basing one's worth on appearance, especially among vulnerable groups like teenagers. They emphasized the need for further research to explore the impact of photo editing on mental health outcomes and understand why people engage in this behavior. Although the study had some limitations, as acknowledged by Ozimek and his colleagues highlighted the importance of considering overall social media use and specific behaviors like photo editing when studying the relationship between social media and mental health outcomes. Interventions(干预) aimed at reducing excessive social media use or promoting healthier engagement with social media could have positive effects on the mental well-being of young people. 28. What were the participants asked to do in the study? A. Fill in a questionnaire about self-worth. B. Compare their looks with others. C. Edit their selfies before posting. D. See themselves as an object. 29. What does the word “vulnerable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Hardly protected. B. Particularly strong. C. Easily influenced. D. Mostly independent. 30. From the passage, what can we infer? A. The higher levels of photo editing, the higher self-esteem. B. Reducing the overuse of social media might be beneficial to well-being. C. Photo editing is the only behavior that affects mental health on social media. D. The study has completely worked out the problem of the overuse of social media. 31. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the popularity of social media. B. To explain the detailed process of a study on photo editing. C. To show teenagers are the most vulnerable group in using social media. D. To explore the relationship between photo editing and negative mental states. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了社交媒体中照片编辑行为与心理健康之间的关系。 28. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Finally, participants' self-esteem was measured using a questionnaire that evaluated their overall sense of self-worth. (最后，参与者的自尊是通过一份评估他们整体自我价值感的问卷来衡量的。)”可知参与者在研究中被要求填写一份关于自我价值的问卷。故选A。 29. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The researchers suggested that photo editing behavior may contribute to feelings of self-perception as an object and basing one's worth on appearance (研究人员表示，照片编辑行为可能会导致人们将自己视为一个对象，并将自己的价值建立在外表上)”和especially可知尤其是年轻人，心理和认知还不够成熟，容易受到外界的影响，所以vulnerable意思是“容易受影响的”，故选C。 30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Interventions (干预) aimed at reducing excessive social media use or promoting healthier engagement with social media could have positive effects on the mental well-being of young people. (旨在减少过度使用社交媒体或促进更健康地使用社交媒体的干预措施可能对年轻人的心理健康产生积极影响。)”可推断出减少过度使用社交媒体可能对幸福有益，故选B。 31. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Nowadays, social media is widely used by millions of people to connect and share their lives. However, research suggests that excessive (过度) use of social media may lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. (如今，数以百万计的人广泛使用社交媒体来联系和分享他们的生活。然而，研究表明，过度使用社交媒体可能会导致抑郁和焦虑等心理健康问题。)”可知文章开头指出过度使用社交媒体可能导致心理健康问题，接着重点介绍了Phillip Ozimek及其同事关于社交媒体上照片编辑行为与心理健康之间关系的研究，包括研究的过程、结果以及结论等，目的是探讨照片编辑与消极心理状态之间的关系，故选D。 D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not？” (meaning “Have you eaten？”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well­formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 32. What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self confidence. B. It misses the real meaning of accents. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It reflects their language levels. 33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To correct a grammatical mistake. B. To show the diversity of dialects. C. To justify the use of dialects. D. To highlight a traditional approach. 34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Seek for an official definition of accents. B. Learn to speak with your local dialect. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Distinguish our local languages from others’. 35. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Standard English Is at Risk B. Accents Enhance Our Identities C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Everyone Has an Accent 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“口音和方言”这一主题，阐述对口音和方言的狭隘观念需要被超越，并强调语言差异对于了解人们文化经历和背景的重要性。 32. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point.(当我向一些朋友提到我们每个人都有口音时，他们中的大多数都自豪地回答说：“嗯，我的英语/中文等说得很标准。”但这种回答并没有抓住要点”。)”可知，作者认为朋友们的回答并没有理解他提到的“口音”的真正含义，即口音是每个人都有的，而不是只有非标准语言使用者才有。故选B。 33. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not？” (meaning “Have you eaten？”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is wellformed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?(每个人也都说一种方言。在语言研究领域，方言是一种语言变体，以其结构、短语和词汇的变化为特征。例如，“You got eat or not？”(意思是“你吃饭了吗？”)在新加坡英语口语中是一个可接受且能被理解的问题。这个表达会让标准美式英语的说话者感到困惑，但这并不意味着新加坡英语口语是“错误的”或“不符合语法的”。根据新加坡英语母语者坚实的语法体系，这个句子结构完整，表达清晰。为什么仅仅因为它不同就说是错误的呢？)”可知，作者举了新加坡英语口语的例子是为了证明方言使用的合理性，因为方言只是语言的一种变体，有其独特的结构和表达方式，不能仅因为其不同于标准语言就认为是错误的。故选C。 34. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.(我们需要超越对口音和方言的狭隘观念——这对每个人都有好处。这样的语言差异提供了了解人们文化经历和背景的机会。在全球化的时代，一个人的说话方式是其身份的独特组成部分。大多数人都很乐意谈论自己言语背后的文化。我们将更多地了解我们所生活的世界，并在这一过程中结交朋友”。)”可知，作者建议我们要超越对口音和方言的狭隘观念，欣赏口音和方言的价值，因为它们提供了了解人们文化经历和背景的机会。故选C。 35. 主旨大意题。文章第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point.(当我向一些朋友提到我们每个人都有口音时，他们中的大多数都自豪地回答说：“嗯，我的英语/中文等说得很标准。”但这种回答并没有抓住要点”。)”引出本文主题，即每个人都有口音，文章接着详细论述了口音和方言的多样性、存在的合理性以及欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选D。 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。 Public transportation is not fully used across the globe, even if good transport systems are in place. 36 There are three primary reasons listed below, which all can be solved by good urban planning. 37 For example, in Barcelona, 30% of daily trips are carried out by public transport. In contrast, in Atlanta, this figure drops to 4%. Since Barcelona is 30 times denser(更密集的) than Atlanta, it is easier to provide reliable public transport services. Accessibility is another key factor in public transportation usage. In a comparison of three international cities, though one of them has the highest population density, its public transport use is less than the other two cities. 38 Walkability is also a major component that matters. Studies show that well- maintained and safe streets encourage people to use public transportation. 39 By contrast, narrow or poorly- maintained sidewalks, and fewer trees make streets less walkable. It is in these types of urban environments that people are significantly less likely to use public transport, even if it is only 100 meters away from their homes. Nowadays, city planners have attached great importance to the construction of more public transportation infrastructure(基础设施). 40 And it can promote good urban mobility(移动性) at the same time. However, urban planners should also understand that factors related to the urban fabric(结构) also impact if and how public transport is used. So efforts should also be devoted to improving public environments to encourage the use of public transport, which will result in healthier cities and communities. A. Why is this the case? B. This emphasis aims to reduce the reliance on private vehicles. C. The trend causes cities to become more and more advanced. D. A city’s density directly impacts how public transport services are provided. E. People in big cities need to get out of their cars and use public transportation. F. In such urban environments, people are likelier to go further to access public transport. G. It’s due to its very wide streets, large street blocks and buildings set far from the street edges. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. G 39. F 40. B 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了全球范围内公共交通未得到充分利用的现象，并分析了其原因主要有城市密度、交通可达性和街道的可步行性三个方面，强调城市规划者在重视建设公共交通基础设施的同时，也应致力于改善公共环境以鼓励人们使用公共交通，从而建设更健康的城市和社区。 36. 上文“Public transportation is not fully used across the globe, even if good transport systems are in place. (即使有良好的交通系统，全球公共交通也没有得到充分利用)”提出问题，下文“There are three primary reasons listed below, which all can be solved by good urban planning. (下面列出了三个主要原因，这些原因都可以通过良好的城市规划来解决。)”说明了有三个原因，A项“Why is this the case? (为什么会这样呢？)”承上启下，引出原因，上下文过渡自然，故选A项。 37. 根据下文“For example, in Barcelona, 30% of daily trips are carried out by public transport. In contrast, in Atlanta, this figure drops to 4%. Since Barcelona is 30 times denser(更密集的) than Atlanta, it is easier to provide reliable public transport services. (例如，在巴塞罗那，30%的日常出行是通过公共交通完成的。相比之下，在亚特兰大，这一数字降至4%。由于巴塞罗那的人口密度是亚特兰大的30倍，所以提供可靠的公共交通服务更容易。)”可知，本段主要内容与城市密度与公共交通之间的关系有关，与D项“A city’s density directly impacts how public transport services are provided. (城市的密度直接影响公共交通服务的提供方式。)”与下文一致，符合文意，故选D项。 38. 根据上文“Accessibility is another key factor in public transportation usage. In a comparison of three international cities, though one of them has the highest population density, its public transport use is less than the other two cities. (可达性是公共交通使用的另一个关键因素。在三个国际城市的比较中，虽然其中一个城市的人口密度最高，但其公共交通使用量低于其他两个城市。)”可知，下文要解释为什么这个城市人口密度高但公共交通使用率低的原因，与G项“It’s due to its very wide streets, large street blocks and buildings set far from the street edges. (这是由于其非常宽阔的街道、大型街区和远离街道边缘的建筑物。)”上下文一致，符合文意。故选G项。 39. 上文“Studies show that well- maintained and safe streets encourage people to use public transportation.(研究表明，维护良好和安全的街道鼓励人们使用公共交通工具。)”提出维护良好和安全的街道鼓励人们使用公共交通工具，F项“In such urban environments, people are likelier to go further to access public transport. (在这样的城市环境中，人们更有可能走得更远，以使用公共交通工具。)”承接上文，进一步进行解释，与下文“By contrast, narrow or poorly- maintained sidewalks, and fewer trees make streets less walkable.

Popularity 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了呼伦贝尔大草原的美丽景色，许多的河流湖泊，绿色的草地，独特的生活方式，在古代受到诗人和作家们的欢迎。 56. 考查定语从句。句意：呼伦贝尔草原是一个幅员辽阔的地区，风景秀丽，植物茂盛，周围有许多河流和湖泊，就像一幅巨大的绿色画卷，让你一望无际。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Hulun Buir Grassland，且从句缺少主语，因此填which，引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。 57. 考查时态。句意：呼伦贝尔这个名字的意思是“湖泊和河流之地”，追溯到很久以前的一个传说。结合句意和空前的means可知，本句用一般现在时，且本句主语是The name Hulun Buir，为第三人称单数，因此谓语动词也用第三人称单数形式dates。date back to“追溯到”，为固定短语。故填dates。 58. 考查连词。句意：是中国保存最完好的草原，被公认为“草原王国”。本句中的the best-preserved grassland in China和recognized as “The Grass Kingdom是并列关系，故用连词and连接。故填and。 59. 考查原因状语从句。句意：呼伦贝尔草原拥有中国最丰富、最优良的牧场，因为那里几乎没有任何污染，所以也被称为“最纯净的草原”。空后there is hardly any pollution there为空前Hulun Buir Grassland also has the name The Purest Grassland的原因，故用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。 60. 考查时态和语态。句意：它的动物产品，如肉、奶、皮革和羊毛，深受国内外人民的喜爱。结合句意可知，本句陈述事实，故句子用一般现在时，且本句主语Its animal products和favor是被动关系，故填are favored，构成一般现在时的被动语态。故填are favored。 61. 考查反身代词。句意：在成千上万条河流的灌溉下，草原在蓝天白云下呈现出一片绿色的地毯。本句主语是grassland，宾语也是grassland，因此宾语用反身代词itself，意为“它自己”，present oneself as“呈现出……”。故填itself。 62. 考查副词。句意：你可以骑骆驼和马，看摔跤和赛马，享受篝火晚会，充分领略游牧民族独特的生活方式。分析句子结构可知，本题用副词fully“充分地”，修饰动词appreciated，作状语。故填fully。 63. 考查形容词。句意：该地区的地理位置使其在夏天温暖宜人，而在冬天寒冷多雪。本空和 and前面的形容词pleasant并列，因此本空也用形容词snowy“多雪的”。故填snowy。 64. 考查冠词。句意：在夏天，草地被一层五颜六色的野花覆盖。blanket“毯子”，为可数名词，故填冠词a。a blanket of“一层”，固定短语。故填a。 65. 考查名词。句意：即使在古代，这个地方的美景也受到诗人和作家的喜爱，并在他们的文学作品中被描述。分析句子结构可知，本空填不可数名词popularity“人气”，作gain的宾语。故填popularity。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 假定你是李华，你校举办了一场以“Green Life, Healthy Plogging”为主题的志愿者活动。你的外国笔友Mike对此很感兴趣，向你了解相关情况，请你给他回信，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动内容； 3. 你的感想。 参考词汇：plogging捡跑 (在慢跑过程中捡拾垃圾的运动) 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右; 2. 请按格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Mike, It was delightful to receive your letter asking about the recent volunteer event our school hosted, themed “Green Life, Healthy Plogging”.

She never missed an opportunity to laugh at me, or even threaten me. I would hear her jeering(嘲讽的) words when I walked out to catch the bus home. I could feel the heat of her stare when I bent in my seat in the cafeteria and avoided looking anywhere near her direction. I was somewhat terrified of her. I knew I had to take action, but how? I was one of those quiet, timid(胆小的) seventh graders who talked non-stop at home but wouldn’t say two words at school. How could I break the ice? My family lived in a small town of about three thousand people, and it seemed that my dad knew every single one of them. What was even more astonishing was that everyone seemed to know him. One day, I asked my mom how this was possible. She thought for a while and then said, “Well, Jenn, your dad never lets anyone stay a stranger. He talks to everyone he sees, and then he gives them that big smile of his. I guess it’s infectious because people just love him.” Mother’s words set me thinking. I could smile. I mean, everyone could do that, right? I decided to try it out. I would take my experiment straight to Rosalie. The next morning, I didn’t hear a single word my math teacher said in the fourth period because I was too busy thinking about what I was about to do. Finally, the bell rang. I gathered my books, slipped them into the locker and headed to the cafeteria. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my hands were sweaty. I ran my tongue over my teeth that felt dryer than the Mojave Desert. Then I did a practice smile that I was sure looked more like a grimace (苦相). I took a deep breath and struggled to my feet to keep moving forward. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)所给开头两段如下： Para 1: I saw Rosalie in the distance coming toward me, looking as mean as ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The third day, unlike the first two times, she gave me a little half-smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I saw Rosalie in the distance coming toward me, looking as mean as ever. For the first time in my life, I made eye contact with her. I actually managed to force a smile through my chattering teeth. Rosalie looked shocked. Then she frowned. I hurried past, sure that she was going to laugh at my back. The next day, I tried again. This time, my teeth weren’t chattering so badly and my smile came out in a more natural way. Rosalie was no longer surprised but her frown remained. The third day, unlike the first two times, she even gave me a little half-smile. Half it was, but the ice was starting to melt. All of a sudden, I found myself not a timid girl any more. Over the next few weeks, I continued my trial. Rosalie gradually got used and started smiling back. One day, she came over and asked to sit beside me. We became friends! All because I had the courage to smile my way out. From that day on, I gave many strangers big smile of mine, just like my father’s! 【语篇解读】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在学校受到同学Rosalie欺负，感到恐惧无助。在家人的启发下，作者决定尝试用微笑打破僵局，鼓起勇气准备在食堂向Rosalie微笑示好。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我看见Rosalie在远处向我走来，看上去和以前一样卑鄙。”可知，第一段可以作者对Rosalie微笑时，Rosalie的反应。 ②由第二段句首内容“第三天，不像前两次，她甚至对我微微一笑。”可知，第二段可以描写二人关系的变化和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：看见Rosalie走来—作者勉强微笑—Rosalie微微一笑—成了朋友—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①设法成功做某事：manage to do sth./ succeed in doing sth. ②打颤：chatter/tremble ③嘲笑：laugh at/mock 情绪类 ①勉强微笑：force a smile/happy/smile reluctantly ②震惊的：shocked/amazed 【点睛】 【高分句型1】I hurried past, sure that she was going to laugh at my back.

What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students? If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work. Why We Are Doing This As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis-and disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important. How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating. Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section. Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students. Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article. Let Us Know What You Think If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Teenagers. B. Journalists. C. Parents. D. Teachers. 22. What is the purpose of the program? A. To inspire students to pursue journalism. B. To give students insights into journalism. C. To teach students how to fact-check news. D. To encourage students to share their stories. 23. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions? A. Day 1. B. Days 2-8. C. Days 9-13. D. Days 13-14. B When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone. So she started with one person: Colorado state senator (参议员) Lisa Cutter, a strong advocate for the environment. Cutter agreed to meet, and in 2021 she sat down with Madhvi at a bakery — Panera. They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air. Studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to negative developmental effects in children, increased risk of some cancers and reduced immune function. Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them. Madhvi, she says, “really planted the seed.” The following year, Cutter went on to sponsor a PFAS bill that bans “intentionally added” PFAS in a wide range of consumer goods. In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis. After the bill passed, Polis recognized Madhvi’s hard work, inviting her to the bill signing in 2022. It was not the first time that Cutter and Madhvi worked together. In 2021, after Cutter proposed a measure to ban single-use plastic bags in major retail stores and plastic-foam containers in restaurants, Madhvi advocated for that bill too — speaking with city leaders and businesses, and conducting a signature campaign. At the beginning of 2024, that measure finally took full effect. And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says. She has kept up her advocacy locally and abroad. And on a recent vacation in her hometown, she found time to organize a beach cleanup and speak at schools about pollution. 24. Why did Madhvi want to meet Cutter? A. To explore ways to resolve the PFAS problem. B. To prevent her from purchasing PFAS products. C. To seek support for a bill against the use of PFAS. D. To inform her of PFAS’ negative effects on children. 25. How did Madhvi contribute to the passing of the PFAS bill? A. By drafting it together with Cutter. B. By conducting a signature campaign. C. By speaking with influential businesses. D. By gaining support from the government. 26. What can be inferred about Madhvi from the last paragraph? A. She is tired from her work. B. She feels proud of herself. C. She wants to achieve more. D. She cares little about fame. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Madhvi’s Environmental Campaigns B. Colorado’ s Bills on PFAS and Plastics C. A Teen’s Journey to Global Recognition D. A Young Voice against Environmental Damage C Nowadays, social media is widely used by millions of people to connect and share their lives. However, research suggests that excessive(过度) use of social media may lead to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. One behavior that researchers have focused on recently is photo editing, which involves altering one's appearance in pictures before posting them on social media. While some studies have suggested that photo editing is linked to negative outcomes such as seeing oneself as an object and having low self-esteem, the relationship between these factors is not well understood. Phillip Ozimek and his colleagues conducted a study with 403 young adults recruited through social media platforms to investigate the potential risks associated with photo editing on social media. Participants completed an online survey that included questions about their social media use, photo editing behavior, self-perception as an object, comparisons of physical appearance, self-esteem(自尊), and other relevant factors. To measure photo editing behavior, participants reported how often they edited their selfies before posting them on social media. To assess self-perception as an object and comparisons of physical appearance, participants answered questions about how much they monitored their bodies and compared themselves to others' looks. Finally, participants' self-esteem was measured using a questionnaire that evaluated their overall sense of self-worth. The data showed that higher levels of photo editing were associated with increased self-perception as an object and more comparisons of physical appearance among young adults. These factors, in turn, were related to lower self-esteem. The researchers suggested that photo editing behavior may contribute to feelings of self-perception as an object and basing one's worth on appearance, especially among vulnerable groups like teenagers. They emphasized the need for further research to explore the impact of photo editing on mental health outcomes and understand why people engage in this behavior. Although the study had some limitations, as acknowledged by Ozimek and his colleagues highlighted the importance of considering overall social media use and specific behaviors like photo editing when studying the relationship between social media and mental health outcomes. Interventions(干预) aimed at reducing excessive social media use or promoting healthier engagement with social media could have positive effects on the mental well-being of young people. 28. What were the participants asked to do in the study? A. Fill in a questionnaire about self-worth. B. Compare their looks with others. C. Edit their selfies before posting. D. See themselves as an object. 29. What does the word “vulnerable” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Hardly protected. B. Particularly strong. C. Easily influenced. D. Mostly independent. 30. From the passage, what can we infer? A. The higher levels of photo editing, the higher self-esteem. B. Reducing the overuse of social media might be beneficial to well-being. C. Photo editing is the only behavior that affects mental health on social media. D. The study has completely worked out the problem of the overuse of social media. 31. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce the popularity of social media. B. To explain the detailed process of a study on photo editing. C. To show teenagers are the most vulnerable group in using social media. D. To explore the relationship between photo editing and negative mental states. D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese, etc.” But this kind of response misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not？” (meaning “Have you eaten？”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well­formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 32. What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A. It reflects their self confidence. B. It misses the real meaning of accents. C. It misses the point of communication. D. It reflects their language levels. 33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A. To correct a grammatical mistake. B. To show the diversity of dialects. C. To justify the use of dialects. D. To highlight a traditional approach. 34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A. Seek for an official definition of accents. B. Learn to speak with your local dialect. C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D. Distinguish our local languages from others’. 35. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Standard English Is at Risk B. Accents Enhance Our Identities C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D. Everyone Has an Accent 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。 Public transportation is not fully used across the globe, even if good transport systems are in place. 36 There are three primary reasons listed below, which all can be solved by good urban planning. 37 For example, in Barcelona, 30% of daily trips are carried out by public transport. In contrast, in Atlanta, this figure drops to 4%. Since Barcelona is 30 times denser(更密集的) than Atlanta, it is easier to provide reliable public transport services. Accessibility is another key factor in public transportation usage. In a comparison of three international cities, though one of them has the highest population density, its public transport use is less than the other two cities. 38 Walkability is also a major component that matters. Studies show that well- maintained and safe streets encourage people to use public transportation. 39 By contrast, narrow or poorly- maintained sidewalks, and fewer trees make streets less walkable. It is in these types of urban environments that people are significantly less likely to use public transport, even if it is only 100 meters away from their homes. Nowadays, city planners have attached great importance to the construction of more public transportation infrastructure(基础设施). 40 And it can promote good urban mobility(移动性) at the same time. However, urban planners should also understand that factors related to the urban fabric(结构) also impact if and how public transport is used. So efforts should also be devoted to improving public environments to encourage the use of public transport, which will result in healthier cities and communities. A. Why is this the case? B. This emphasis aims to reduce the reliance on private vehicles. C. The trend causes cities to become more and more advanced. D. A city’s density directly impacts how public transport services are provided. E. People in big cities need to get out of their cars and use public transportation. F. In such urban environments, people are likelier to go further to access public transport. G. It’s due to its very wide streets, large street blocks and buildings set far from the street edges. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I walked into a part-time role at Moonmilk, our community’s beloved cake and ice cream shop, seeking to increase my summer earnings.

She never missed an opportunity to laugh at me, or even threaten me. I would hear her jeering(嘲讽的) words when I walked out to catch the bus home. I could feel the heat of her stare when I bent in my seat in the cafeteria and avoided looking anywhere near her direction. I was somewhat terrified of her. I knew I had to take action, but how? I was one of those quiet, timid(胆小的) seventh graders who talked non-stop at home but wouldn’t say two words at school. How could I break the ice? My family lived in a small town of about three thousand people, and it seemed that my dad knew every single one of them. What was even more astonishing was that everyone seemed to know him. One day, I asked my mom how this was possible. She thought for a while and then said, “Well, Jenn, your dad never lets anyone stay a stranger. He talks to everyone he sees, and then he gives them that big smile of his. I guess it’s infectious because people just love him.” Mother’s words set me thinking. I could smile. I mean, everyone could do that, right? I decided to try it out. I would take my experiment straight to Rosalie. The next morning, I didn’t hear a single word my math teacher said in the fourth period because I was too busy thinking about what I was about to do. Finally, the bell rang. I gathered my books, slipped them into the locker and headed to the cafeteria. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my hands were sweaty. I ran my tongue over my teeth that felt dryer than the Mojave Desert. Then I did a practice smile that I was sure looked more like a grimace(苦相). I took a deep breath and struggled to my feet to keep moving forward. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)所给开头两段如下： Para 1: I saw Rosalie in the distance coming toward me, looking as mean as ever. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The third day, unlike the first two times, she gave me a little half-smile. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第9页（共10页） 试题 第10页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。August was hot, but now it's getting colder.

Then one day, Larry bought tank of helium and forty five weather balloons back in his yard. Larry tried the balloons to his lawn chair. He angered the chair to his jeep and inflated the balloons with helium. Then he packed some sandwich es and drinks when his preparations were complete. Larry sadness chair and cut the anchoring string. His plan was to lazily flow up to a head of about thirty feet above his backyard, where he would enjoy a few hours of flight before coming back down. When Larry cut the string, he didn't flow lazily up. He shot up. He didn't level off at one hundred feet, nor did he level off at one thousand feet. He level off at sixteen thousand feet. Eventually, the hanging strings caught in a power line backing out a long beach neighborhood for twenty minutes. As soon as he hit the ground, he was arrested as he was being LED away in handcuffs. A television reporter, robber davies, called out to ask, why did you do IT? Larry replied, one can just sit around and do nothing.
