With its amazing animation (动画制作) and meaningful story, “Nezha 2” has become a must-watch for both kids and adults.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2030, there could be 8.0 billion people on earth. Will there be 11 food for all these people, or will we have a food shortage? Some scientists think fish farming could 12 this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could cause serious environmental problems.
Fish farming is not a 13 thing. There were fish farms in China 3, 000 years ago. Today, about one-third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.
Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. Unfortunately, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. These meat-eating fish live on 14 food made from wild fish. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. The 15 of wild fish is already decreasing.
Eventually, many types of wild fish could go 16 . What will we do then? 17 of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy for humans. They say the fish contains dangerous chemicals. They also blame the issue on fish farming because it pollutes the water. Another criticism is that farm-raised fish can spread diseases to wild fish.
Some people say that the farming methods being used now hasn’t 18 enough fish anyway. Instead of putting fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms should be moved far out into the ocean. Several countries have already 19 with deep-ocean farms. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move across the ocean.
Like most things, there is both a good and a bad side to fish farming. Fish farming may help to 20 millions of people. At the same time, however, fish farming may damage the environment.
II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分;36-50每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
People often say that “failure is the mother of success.” This cliché (陈词滥调) might have some truth to it, but it 21 tells us how to actually turn a loss into a win, says Emmanuel Manalo, a professor of educational psychology at Kyoto University in Japan. As a result, he says, “we know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but 22 , we do.”
Manalo and Manu Kapur, a professor of learning sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, put together a special issue of the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity last December on 23 failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for 24 success. One study reported, for example, that the sooner and more often students fail at a task, such as building a robot, the sooner they can 25 and improve. Another confirmed that feedback on failures is most 26 when the giver comes across as caring, and the receiver is prepared to weather negative emotions.
Manalo and his co-authors also contributed their own study focused on overcoming one fundamental, everyday form of failure: not 27 a task. They asked 131 undergraduates to write an essay about their school experiences. Half of the students received 28 for structuring their writing, and half were left to their own devices. All, however, were 29 prior to finishing. Afterward the researchers found that those in the structured group were more motivated to complete their essays, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were 30 to being done. Knowing how to finish, 31 , was more important than being close to finishing.
The researchers dubbed this finding “the Hemingway effect,” for the author’s self-reported 32 to stop writing only when he knew what would happen next in the story—so as to avoid writer’s block when he returned to the page. Manalo believes that learning how to fail temporarily can help people avoid becoming 33 failures at many tasks, such as completing an essay, learning a language or inventing a new technology.
Demystifying failure and teaching students not to 34 it make goals more attainable, says Stephanie Couch, executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and supporting inventors. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, 35 that we “should really be thinking of failure as part of a process of going forward toward success.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context.
On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug).
The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are 18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers,” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”.
The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip). News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too.
36.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.The rapid rise of TikTok. B.TikTok’s effect on language.
C.Outdated words becoming popular. D.Young people creating new words.
37.How does the author mainly develop the argument in Paragraph 2?
A.By telling stories. B.By presenting data. C.By giving examples. D.By making comparison.
38.What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3?
A.Creating language to express one’s uniqueness.
B.Using language to create popular online topics.
C.Changing language to fit in with different groups.
D.Using language to describe job-related activities.
39.What can we learn from the text about TikTok?
A.It’s promoting formal speech. B.It’s unifying global language styles.
C.It limits the use of indirect language. D.It spreads slang through fan groups.

(C)
This spring, Facebook said that it’s developing a version of Instagram for children under 13 years old that gives kids the chance to connect with friends and family without seeing ads or being targeted by child predators (奴役儿童者).
But as any caregiver or parent knows, screens are tempting. Many adults are glued to their smartphones, computers, and televisions. And children are even less prepared to resist (抵挡) it. As is reported, kids between the ages of 8 and 12 already spend 1, 200 hours a year in front of screens. What’s more, child-protection supporters also worry that Facebook, which owns Instagram, won’t be able to protect young users’ privacy or stop them from cyberbullying.
Erin Wilkey Oh, content director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, says, “Social media could benefit younger kids if it’s done thoughtfully. But Facebook’s track record shows the company may not really do what it promises. Plus, there are already ways for children to connect with family and friends online. Do they really need another app to make them spend more time on their devices? ”
The relationship between kids and social media is more complicated (复杂的) than it seems. A 2023 survey conducted by Common Sense Media found that even though social media use was linked to depression and anxiety, many teens also saw social media as a way to access very important information about their mental and physical health and connect with their peers.
Despite the protest, Facebook doesn’t seem to slow its plans to roll out the app. So parents can minimize the potentially (潜在地) negative influences. Parents can create a set of rules that details how much screen time kids are allowed each week and what they can watch. It’s not perfect, but it can help families balance screen time with exercise, and real-life social interactions (互动) that are necessary for children’s well-being.
43.What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph two mean?
A.Dull. B.Unclear. C.Abstract. D.Attractive.
44.What does Erin Wilkey Oh think about Facebook’s new app?
A.Facebook will surely keep its promises.
B.It is a great idea as it will benefit younger kids a lot.
C.There may be no real need for kids to have this new app.
D.It will help kids get more important health information.
45.What can parents do to deal with the potential negative influences of the new app?
A.Create rules about kids’ screen time.
B.Prevent Facebook from rolling out the app.
C.Let kids use the app as much as they want.
D.Encourage kids to use the app to access information.
46.Which one could be a suitable title for the text?
A.Facebook’s Instagram for Kids: A Completely Safe Idea
B.Facebook’s Kid-Instagram: Doubts and Dilemmas
C.Under-13 Instagram: Guaranteed Privacy and No Cyberbully
D.Facebook’s New App: Unlocking Positive Social Media for Youngsters
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.
Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pastas — a basic Italian food — would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. 47
Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. 48 This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.
These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. 49
50 Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear that the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.
A.There is a difference between the food that people eat in the countryside and the food people eat in big cities.
B.Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common.
C.In addition, people’s opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square.
D.Possibly the global popularity of Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
E.Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
F.Globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context.
On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug).
The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are 18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers,” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”.
The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip). News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too.
36.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.The rapid rise of TikTok. B.TikTok’s effect on language.
C.Outdated words becoming popular. D.Young people creating new words.
37.How does the author mainly develop the argument in Paragraph 2?
A.By telling stories. B.By presenting data. C.By giving examples. D.By making comparison.
38.What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3?
A.Creating language to express one’s uniqueness.
B.Using language to create popular online topics.
C.Changing language to fit in with different groups.
D.Using language to describe job-related activities.
39.What can we learn from the text about TikTok?
A.It’s promoting formal speech. B.It’s unifying global language styles.
C.It limits the use of indirect language. D.It spreads slang through fan groups.

This spring, Facebook said that it’s developing a version of Instagram for children under 13 years old that gives kids the chance to connect with friends and family without seeing ads or being targeted by child predators (奴役儿童者).
But as any caregiver or parent knows, screens are tempting. Many adults are glued to their smartphones, computers, and televisions. And children are even less prepared to resist (抵挡) it. As is reported, kids between the ages of 8 and 12 already spend 1, 200 hours a year in front of screens. What’s more, child-protection supporters also worry that Facebook, which owns Instagram, won’t be able to protect young users’ privacy or stop them from cyberbullying.
Erin Wilkey Oh, content director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, says, “Social media could benefit younger kids if it’s done thoughtfully. But Facebook’s track record shows the company may not really do what it promises. Plus, there are already ways for children to connect with family and friends online. Do they really need another app to make them spend more time on their devices? ”
The relationship between kids and social media is more complicated (复杂的) than it seems. A 2023 survey conducted by Common Sense Media found that even though social media use was linked to depression and anxiety, many teens also saw social media as a way to access very important information about their mental and physical health and connect with their peers.
Despite the protest, Facebook doesn’t seem to slow its plans to roll out the app. So parents can minimize the potentially (潜在地) negative influences. Parents can create a set of rules that details how much screen time kids are allowed each week and what they can watch. It’s not perfect, but it can help families balance screen time with exercise, and real-life social interactions (互动) that are necessary for children’s well-being.
43.What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph two mean?
A.Dull. B.Unclear. C.Abstract. D.Attractive.
44.What does Erin Wilkey Oh think about Facebook’s new app?
A.Facebook will surely keep its promises.
B.It is a great idea as it will benefit younger kids a lot.
C.There may be no real need for kids to have this new app.
D.It will help kids get more important health information.
45.What can parents do to deal with the potential negative influences of the new app?
A.Create rules about kids’ screen time.
B.Prevent Facebook from rolling out the app.
C.Let kids use the app as much as they want.
D.Encourage kids to use the app to access information.
46.Which one could be a suitable title for the text?
A.Facebook’s Instagram for Kids: A Completely Safe Idea
B.Facebook’s Kid-Instagram: Doubts and Dilemmas
C.Under-13 Instagram: Guaranteed Privacy and No Cyberbully
D.Facebook’s New App: Unlocking Positive Social Media for Youngsters

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.
Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pastas — a basic Italian food — would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. 47
Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. 48 This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.
These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. 49
50 Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear that the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.
A.There is a difference between the food that people eat in the countryside and the food people eat in big cities.
B.Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common.
C.In addition, people’s opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square.
D.Possibly the global popularity of Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
E.Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
F.Globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat.

【答案】
1.thrilling 2.begins 3.with 4.characters 5.who/that 6.unusual 7.to protect 8.the 9.responsibility 10.what
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《哪吒2:魔童归来》这部电影的主要故事情节。
1.考查形容词。句意:《哪吒2:魔童归来》自上映以来一直大受欢迎,以其惊险的情节和令人惊叹的视觉效果吸引了观众。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“plot”,“thrill”是动词,其形容词有“thrilled”和“thrilling”,“thrilled”常用来形容人“感到激动的”,“thrilling” 常用来形容事物“令人激动的”,这里修饰“plot”(情节),所以用“thrilling”。故填thrilling。
2.考查动词时态和语态。句意:故事开始于第一部电影的情节之后。根据语境,这里描述电影的故事开始,是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语“The story”是第三人称单数,所以动词“begin”用第三人称单数形式“begins”。故填begins。
3.考查固定短语。句意:哪吒和敖丙,在天灾中幸存下来,面临着新的挑战。“be faced with”是固定短语,意为“面临;面对”。故填with。
4.考查名词复数。句意:在旅途中,哪吒和敖丙遇到了各种各样的人物和障碍。“various”表示“各种各样的”,后面接可数名词复数,“character”是可数名词,意为 “人物”,所以用复数形式“characters”。故填characters。
5.考查定语从句。句意:他们遇到了一路上帮助他们的新朋友,也面临着试图阻止他们的强大敌人。分析句子可知,设空处引导限定性定语从句,修饰先行词“friends”,先行词指人,在从句中作主语,所以可以用关系代词“who/that”引导。故填who或that。
6.考查形容词。句意:哪吒以他不同寻常的勇气和决心,永不放弃。根据语境,哪吒有勇气和决心,这种勇气和决心应该是“不寻常的”,“usual”是形容词“通常的”,其反义词 “unusual”表示“不寻常的”,符合文意。故填unusual。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:他决心保护他的朋友,改变自己的命运。“be determined to do sth.”是固定用法,意为“决心做某事”,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to protect。
8.考查冠词。句意:这部电影不仅展示了友谊和勇气的力量,还探讨了诸如责任和生命意义等更深层次的主题。“the power of friendship and courage”表示“友谊和勇气的力量”,这里是特指,所以用定冠词“the”。故填the。
9.考查名词。句意:这部电影不仅展示了友谊和勇气的力量,还探讨了诸如责任和生命意义等更深层次的主题。由空后and连接的“the meaning”为名词可知,此处也应为名词形式,构成并列结构。故填responsibility。
10.考查宾语从句。句意:它让观众思考当面对困难时他们会怎么做。分析句子可知,设空处引导宾语从句,从句中“do”缺少宾语,且结合语境,这里表示“当面对困难时会做什么”,所以用连接代词“what”引导宾语从句。故填what。
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2030, there could be 8.0 billion people on earth. Will there be 11 food for all these people, or will we have a food shortage? Some scientists think fish farming could 12 this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could cause serious environmental problems.
Fish farming is not a 13 thing. There were fish farms in China 3, 000 years ago. Today, about one-third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.
Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. Unfortunately, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. These meat-eating fish live on 14 food made from wild fish. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. The 15 of wild fish is already decreasing.
Eventually, many types of wild fish could go 16 . What will we do then? 17 of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy for humans. They say the fish contains dangerous chemicals. They also blame the issue on fish farming because it pollutes the water. Another criticism is that farm-raised fish can spread diseases to wild fish.
Some people say that the farming methods being used now hasn’t 18 enough fish anyway. Instead of putting fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms should be moved far out into the ocean. Several countries have already 19 with deep-ocean farms. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move across the ocean.
Like most things, there is both a good and a bad side to fish farming. Fish farming may help to 20 millions of people. At the same time, however, fish farming may damage the environment.

II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分;36-50每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
People often say that “failure is the mother of success.” This cliché (陈词滥调) might have some truth to it, but it 21 tells us how to actually turn a loss into a win, says Emmanuel Manalo, a professor of educational psychology at Kyoto University in Japan. As a result, he says, “we know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but 22 , we do.”
Manalo and Manu Kapur, a professor of learning sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, put together a special issue of the journal Thinking Skills and Creativity last December on 23 failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for 24 success. One study reported, for example, that the sooner and more often students fail at a task, such as building a robot, the sooner they can 25 and improve. Another confirmed that feedback on failures is most 26 when the giver comes across as caring, and the receiver is prepared to weather negative emotions.
Manalo and his co-authors also contributed their own study focused on overcoming one fundamental, everyday form of failure: not 27 a task. They asked 131 undergraduates to write an essay about their school experiences. Half of the students received 28 for structuring their writing, and half were left to their own devices. All, however, were 29 prior to finishing. Afterward the researchers found that those in the structured group were more motivated to complete their essays, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were 30 to being done. Knowing how to finish, 31 , was more important than being close to finishing.
The researchers dubbed this finding “the Hemingway effect,” for the author’s self-reported 32 to stop writing only when he knew what would happen next in the story—so as to avoid writer’s block when he returned to the page. Manalo believes that learning how to fail temporarily can help people avoid becoming 33 failures at many tasks, such as completing an essay, learning a language or inventing a new technology.
Demystifying failure and teaching students not to 34 it make goals more attainable, says Stephanie Couch, executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and supporting inventors. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, 35 that we “should really be thinking of failure as part of a process of going forward toward success.”

【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们常说“失败是成功之母”。这句话虽然有一定道理,但并没有告诉我们如何化输为胜。文章主要介绍了日本教育心理学教授Manalo的一项研究表明学生越早失败,他们就能越早前进。告诉我们要教会学生不要害怕失败,这会让目标更容易实现。
21.考查副词词义辨析。句意:日本京都大学教育心理学教授伊曼纽尔·马纳洛(Emmanuel Manalo)说,这个陈词滥调可能有些道理,但它几乎不能告诉我们如何真正地把失败变成胜利。A. undoubtedly无疑地;B. vividly生动地;C. hardly几乎不;D. intentionally故意地。根据上文“This cliché might have some truth to it but(这个陈词滥调可能有些道理,但是)”可知,此处与上文是转折关系,所以此处用hardly表示“几乎不”能告诉我们如何把失败变成胜利,符合语境。故选C。
22.考查介词短语辨析。句意:因此,他说,“我们知道失败时不应该放弃——但实际上我们确实放弃了。”A. in reality事实上;B. by contrast相比之下;C. with question带着疑问;D. after all毕竟。分析句意再根据空格前的but可知,此处与上文是转折关系,所以用in reality表示“事实上”我们确实放弃了,符合语境。故选A。
23.考查动词短语辨析。句意:去年12月,马纳洛和瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院的学习科学教授马努·卡普尔在《思维技能与创造力》杂志上合编了一期从失败中获益的特刊。A. running into撞上、遭遇;B. accounting for解释、占比;C. contributing to有助于;D. benefiting from受益于。根据下文“The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide(该问题的15项研究为教师和教育研究人员提供了指南)”并结合上文“how to actually turn a loss into a win”可知,这个特刊是从失败中“受益”的特刊,所以此处在介词on后用benefiting from表示“受益于”符合语境。故选D。
24.考查动词词义辨析。句意:该问题的15项研究为教师和教育研究人员获得成功提供了指南。A. celebrating庆祝;B. evaluating评估;C. achieving实现;D. predicting预测。根据空格前的guide和空格后的success可知,介词for后面用achieving表示“实现”成功,构成固定短语achieve success。故选C。
25.考查动词短语辨析。句意:例如,一项研究报告称,学生在制造机器人等任务中失败得越快、次数越频繁,他们就能越早进步和提高。A. move forward前进、进步;B. stand by袖手旁观;C. dash backward落后;D. run away跑开、逃走。此处用move forward表“进步”与and后面的improve构成并列关系。故选A。
26.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:另一项研究证实,对于失败的反馈,当给予者表现出关怀,接受者准备好承受负面情绪时,是最有建设性的。A. instant立刻的;B. constructive建设性的;C. informal非正式的;D. sincere诚挚的。根据下文的“when the giver comes across as caring, and the receiver is prepared to weather negative emotions.(当给予者表现出关怀,接受者准备好经受负面情绪时)”可知,这种情况下对于失败的反馈是最佳状态,即是有建设性意义的。故选B。
27.考查动名词词义辨析。句意:Manalo和他的合著者也贡献了他们自己的研究,专注于克服一种基本的、日常形式的失败:没有完成任务。A. assigning分配;B. reporting报告;C. handling处理;D. completing完成。根据上文的“everyday form of failure”可知,这是一种失败,所以此处用completing与前面的not连用表示“没有完成”任务,符合语境。故选D。
28.考查名词词义辨析。句意:其中一半的学生接受了关于写作结构的指导,另一半则由他们自己决定。A. grants津贴;B. approval赞同;C. instructions指导、说明;D. training培训。根据下文的“structuring their writing(构建他们的写作)”可知,此处应该是指导构建写作,所以此处用instructions表示接受“指导”符合语境。故选C。
29.考查动词词义辨析。句意:然而,所有这些在完成之前都被叫停了。A. stopped停止;B. examined检查;C. notified通知;D. guided指导。根据上文的 however可知,此处是表转折,所以此处用stopped表示“被叫停”符合语境。故选A。

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context.
On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug).
The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are 18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers,” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”.
The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip). News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too.
36.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.The rapid rise of TikTok. B.TikTok’s effect on language.
C.Outdated words becoming popular. D.Young people creating new words.
37.How does the author mainly develop the argument in Paragraph 2?
A.By telling stories. B.By presenting data. C.By giving examples. D.By making comparison.
38.What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3?
A.Creating language to express one’s uniqueness.
B.Using language to create popular online topics.
C.Changing language to fit in with different groups.
D.Using language to describe job-related activities.
39.What can we learn from the text about TikTok?
A.It’s promoting formal speech. B.It’s unifying global language styles.
C.It limits the use of indirect language. D.It spreads slang through fan groups.
【答案】36.B 37.C 38.A 39.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了TikTok对语言的影响。
36.主旨大意题。由文章第一段中“TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. (TikTok正在改变年轻人的说话方式。其他一些过时的词汇,比如“coquette”(卖弄风情的女子,指以吸引男性为目的而举止行事的女性),又再度流行起来。非正式表达也越来越多:Z世代的人会说“yapping”(喋喋不休)而不是“talking”(交谈)。新词汇也开始流行)”可知,第一段主要讲述了TikTok如何改变年轻人的说话方式,即TikTok对语言的影响。故选B。
37.推理判断题。由文章第二段“On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug). (在社交应用上,词汇传播得又远又快。每年至少有100个英语单词在TikTok上被创造出来或者被赋予新的含义。一些语言学教授认为,TikTok改变的不仅仅是年轻人在说什么,还有他们说话的方式。一种 “TikTok式说话风格”可能正在蔓延,其中包括“升调语”,即句子结尾处语调上扬的一种说话方式。TikTok的多种不同功能促进了创造性的探索。用户可以在一条帖子中融合音频、文字和视频。这意味着那些听起来特别悦耳的词汇,以及那些在书面形式上令人印象深刻的词汇,都可能流行起来。一种被称为 “算法用语”的体系出现了,以规避内容限制。它使用间接的表达方式(吸毒者被称为“糖果爱好者”),还有拼写错误(用“drog”代替“drug”))”可知,作者通过给出具体的例子来支持其观点,即TikTok对语言的影响。故选C。
38.词句猜测题。由第三段中“For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”. (几十年来,年轻人创造新词汇,就是为了让自己与成年人区分开来。在社交应用上,这些新词汇有了大量的受众。伊尔伯里教授将此描述为“基于语言的身份认同构建”)”可知,年轻人通过创造和使用新词汇来表达自己的独特性。因此,伊尔伯里教授的说“language-based identity work”的意思是“创造语言来表达自己的独特性”。故选A。
39.细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. (这款应用把粉丝群体和各种社群聚集到了一起,从韩流粉丝(喜欢韩国流行音乐的人)到“书虫”(热爱阅读的人)。这些群体创造了他们自己的俚语。其中一些俚语已经进入了主流语言)”可知,TikTok通过粉丝群体传播俚语。故选D。

(C)
This spring, Facebook said that it’s developing a version of Instagram for children under 13 years old that gives kids the chance to connect with friends and family without seeing ads or being targeted by child predators (奴役儿童者).
But as any caregiver or parent knows, screens are tempting. Many adults are glued to their smartphones, computers, and televisions. And children are even less prepared to resist (抵挡) it. As is reported, kids between the ages of 8 and 12 already spend 1, 200 hours a year in front of screens. What’s more, child-protection supporters also worry that Facebook, which owns Instagram, won’t be able to protect young users’ privacy or stop them from cyberbullying.
Erin Wilkey Oh, content director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, says, “Social media could benefit younger kids if it’s done thoughtfully. But Facebook’s track record shows the company may not really do what it promises. Plus, there are already ways for children to connect with family and friends online. Do they really need another app to make them spend more time on their devices? ”
The relationship between kids and social media is more complicated (复杂的) than it seems. A 2023 survey conducted by Common Sense Media found that even though social media use was linked to depression and anxiety, many teens also saw social media as a way to access very important information about their mental and physical health and connect with their peers.
Despite the protest, Facebook doesn’t seem to slow its plans to roll out the app. So parents can minimize the potentially (潜在地) negative influences. Parents can create a set of rules that details how much screen time kids are allowed each week and what they can watch. It’s not perfect, but it can help families balance screen time with exercise, and real-life social interactions (互动) that are necessary for children’s well-being.
43.What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph two mean?
A.Dull. B.Unclear. C.Abstract. D.Attractive.
44.What does Erin Wilkey Oh think about Facebook’s new app?
A.Facebook will surely keep its promises.
B.It is a great idea as it will benefit younger kids a lot.
C.There may be no real need for kids to have this new app.
D.It will help kids get more important health information.
45.What can parents do to deal with the potential negative influences of the new app?
A.Create rules about kids’ screen time.
B.Prevent Facebook from rolling out the app.
C.Let kids use the app as much as they want.
D.Encourage kids to use the app to access information.
46.Which one could be a suitable title for the text?
A.Facebook’s Instagram for Kids: A Completely Safe Idea
B.Facebook’s Kid-Instagram: Doubts and Dilemmas
C.Under-13 Instagram: Guaranteed Privacy and No Cyberbully
D.Facebook’s New App: Unlocking Positive Social Media for Youngsters
【答案】43.D 44.C 45.A 46.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕Facebook为13岁以下儿童开发的Instagram版本展开讨论,指出其存在的问题和争议,同时也提到家长可采取的应对措施。
43.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Many adults are glued to their smartphones, computers, and televisions. And children are even less prepared to resist (抵挡) it.(许多成年人沉迷于智能手机、电脑和电视。而孩子们更没有准备好抵制它)”可知,屏幕对人们有很大吸引力,所以“screens are tempting”是指“屏幕是有吸引力的”,这是看护人或家长都知道的事实。故划线词tempting与D项“Attractive”同义,意为“有吸引力的”。故选D项。
44.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Erin Wilkey Oh, content director at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, says, ‘Social media could benefit younger kids if it’s done thoughtfully. But Facebook’s track record shows the company may not really do what it promises. Plus, there are already ways for children to connect with family and friends online. Do they really need another app to make them spend more time on their devices? ’ (非营利组织常识媒体的内容总监艾琳·威尔基·奥说:‘如果用心去做,社交媒体可能会让年幼的孩子受益。但Facebook的过往记录显示,该公司可能不会真正兑现承诺。此外,孩子们已经有办法在网上与家人和朋友联系。他们真的需要另一个应用程序让他们在设备上花更多时间吗?’)”可知,艾琳·威尔基·奥认为Facebook可能不会真正兑现承诺,且孩子们也不需要另一个应用程序来与家人和朋友联系。所以她会认为孩子们可能真的不需要这款新应用。故选C项。
45.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So parents can minimize the potentially (潜在地) negative influences. Parents can create a set of rules that details how much screen time kids are allowed each week and what they can watch. (所以家长可以将潜在的负面影响降到最低。家长可以制定一套规则,详细规定孩子们每周可以使用屏幕的时间以及可以观看的内容)”可知,家长可以制定关于孩子屏幕使用时间的规则来应对新应用的负面影响。故选A项。
46.主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段中“What’s more, child protection supporters also worry that Facebook, which owns Instagram, won’t be able to protect young users’ privacy or stop them from cyberbullying. (此外,儿童保护支持者还担心,拥有Instagram的Facebook无法保护年轻用户的隐私,也无法阻止他们遭受网络欺凌)”和第三段中Erin Wilkey Oh的话“But Facebook’s track record shows the company may not really do what it promises. Plus, there are already ways for children to connect with family and friends online. Do they really need another app to make them spend more time on their devices? (但Facebook的过往记录显示,该公司可能不会真正兑现承诺。此外,孩子们已经有办法在网上与家人和朋友联系。他们真的需要另一个应用程序让他们在设备上花更多时间吗?)”可知,人们对Facebook为儿童开发的Instagram版本存在质疑,根据最后一段“Despite the protest, Facebook doesn’t seem to slow its plans to roll out the app. So parents can minimize the potentially (潜在地) negative influences. (尽管遭到抗议,Facebook似乎并没有放慢推出这款应用程序的计划。所以家长可以将潜在的负面影响降到最低)”可知,家长面临应对其负面影响的困境。由此可知,本文围绕Facebook为13岁以下儿童开发的Instagram版本展开讨论,指出人们对它的质疑和它带来的困境,故B项“Facebook’s Kid Instagram: Doubts and Dilemmas(脸书的儿童版Instagram:质疑与困境)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选B项。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.
Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pastas — a basic Italian food — would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. 47
Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. 48 This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.
These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. 49
50 Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear that the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.
A.There is a difference between the food that people eat in the countryside and the food people eat in big cities.
B.Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common.
C.In addition, people’s opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square.
D.Possibly the global popularity of Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
E.Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods.
F.Globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat.
【答案】47.C 48.E 49.B 50.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在全球化背景下,意大利本国的饮食行业及意大利人的日常饮食受到了影响,发生了一些变化,这些变化有利有弊,有人认同,也有人充满担忧。
47.前文“Until recently, pastas — a basic Italian food — would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. (直到最近,意大利面——一种基本的意大利食物——都是由当地人制作的。人们也会在家里做酱汁和意大利面一起吃)”介绍直到最近意大利人仍会自己制作食物,下一段的开头“Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. (然而,如今意大利人的饮食习惯似乎已经改变了)”说明现在意大利人的饮食习惯发生了改变,空处位于句尾,因此应该继续介绍意大利传统的饮食习惯。C项“In addition, people’s opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square. (此外,人们尝试外国食物的机会非常有限,因为在当地的城镇广场上只有披萨和意大利面)”说明意大利人很少尝试外国食物,承接前文,符合语境。故选C。
48.后文“This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes. (这一趋势在罗马、米兰和威尼斯等城市地区更为普遍,尽管许多小城镇也在经历类似的变化)”具体说明一种趋势在意大利不同地区的情况,因此空处应该指出这一趋势。E项“Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods. (意大利饮食习惯的另一个重要变化是外国菜越来越受欢迎,尤其是印度菜、中国菜和日本菜)”指出外国菜越来越受欢迎的趋势,承接前文的两个变化,引出后文的具体说明,后文的This trend指代选项所述内容,符合语境。故选E。
49.前文“In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. (相反,可以认为大型连锁餐厅正变得越来越强大,导致地方和国家特色菜受破坏)”介绍全球化对意大利饮食特色的破坏,空处位于句尾,因此应该进一步说明这种弊端。B项“Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common. (因此,许多意大利人担心,随着外国食品变得越来越普遍,他们正在失去民族意识)”指出人们对失去民族意识的担心,承接前文,符合语境。故选B。
50.根据后文“Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. (方便食品已经取代了许多传统的家常菜,外国水果的供应也大大增加了)”可知,本段主要介绍全球化的影响下,意大利的饮食还发生了很多变化,空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容,因此应该会指出这种影响。F项“Globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat. (全球化对意大利人的饮食方式产生了重大影响)”点明了影响,契合后文内容,符合语境。故选F。
III.Translation (共15分。第1-3小题,每题2分;第4题4分;第5题5分。)

Each video should be between 1 to 3 minutes in length. If you are interested, please send your works to BMoments 163.com before June 6th.
