If you are curious about them, you can click here and get the following information. Peaceful place, top of the world Ever since the publication of the Global Peace Index, Iceland has ranked top as the world’s safest country. Entire years have passed with zero homicides taking place and the crime rate is one of the lowest in the world, according to the think-tank Institute for Economics and Peace. Tap water is as pure as bottled water As always, remember to drink plenty of water. But do it straight from the tap. Iceland’s spring water is notably pure, without smell or taste. Don’t be fooled by the big stacks of bottled water at the supermarket. It’s a tourist trap and an environmental waste — essentially tap water in a plastic bottle. Heating and electricity are cheap Iceland can be painfully expensive-island nations with a small population tend to — but there is one thing Icelanders pay less for than other Europeans: hot water and electricity. In the capital region every house has geothermal heating. All this abundance of hot water is the reason for the leisure of soaking in local baths known as sundlaug. The outdoor pools were originally built to teach swimming, but play a much larger cultural role in modern Iceland. Wildlife is abundant if you know where to look Look up. To the wild side of Iceland. Iceland is home to millions of migratory birds, gathering along the shoreline, wetlands and lakes. And what do they have to do with quality of life you ask. Well, study suggests being in the environment of many bird species contributes to greater happiness. Tweet, tweet. 1. What can we know about visiting Iceland? A. In Iceland, people can travel with a sense of security. B. In Iceland, people pay more for than other Europeans. C. In Iceland, every house has geothermal heating. D.

Enjoy bathing in heated warm pools there. C. Watch birds gathering only along the shoreline and wetlands. D. Get involved in the large population there. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A textbook. B. A website. C. A brochure. D. An advertisement. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了去冰岛旅游前要知道的四个秘密。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Peaceful place, top of the world部分中“Ever since the publication of the Global Peace Index, Iceland has ranked top as the world’s safest country. Entire years have passed with zero homicides taking place and the crime rate is one of the lowest in the world (自全球和平指数发布以来，冰岛始终位列全球最安全国家榜首。该国曾连续多年保持零命案记录，犯罪率更是全球最低之一)”可知，在冰岛旅行时，旅行者会有安全感。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Heating and electricity are cheap部分中“In the capital region, every house has geothermal heating.

This herbal tea is based on a well-known Chinese medicine formula designed to treat symptoms of insomnia and neurasthenia (失眠和神经衰弱). The tea includes sauteed jujube kernels (炒红枣仁), dried lily, poria fungus and albizia bark (茯苓菌和合欢树皮). Each dose of herbs is individually packaged and can be brewed or boiled for easy consumption at home. “The bags of dried herbs are not available for purchase on the market. To obtain them, individuals must obtain a prescription as they are tailored to specific syndrome differentiation (辨证论治),” Wan Xixi, deputy director of the hospital’s medical administration department, explains. Struggling with insomnia, Guo Xiaofan, a 26-year-old resident of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, recently brewed the dried herbs at home and found it a great alternative to drinking milk tea. “The first sip tasted a bit strange but as I continued drinking, it tasted quite good,” she says. In recent years, an increasing number of health-conscious people have developed a strong interest in such medicinal herbal tea drinks. “I bought five doses of each type. With medical insurance, the total bill came to less than 100 yuan ($13.9) , which I think is very reasonable. After drinking them, I felt the effects were good,” Huang, an employee from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, says. Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine recently launched five herbal medicine formulas for drinking. On the first day of the market release, 10,000 doses were sold. In addition to hospitals, many pharmacies, including the established brand Beijing Tong Ren Tang, have seen a boost in herbal tea sales. According to data from iiMedia Research, the Chinese herbal drinks market reached 41.16 billion yuan ($5.64 billion) in 2023 and is expected to surpass 100 billion yuan in 2028. 4. What does the underlined word “edge” in paragraph 1 mean? A Side. B. Advantage. C. Suburb. D. Margin. 5. What do we know about the herbal drinks? A. They are healthy and popular. B. They can cure severe disease. C. Their price are extremely expensive. D. They can be bought everywhere. 6. Why there are more and more people choose herbal tea? A. Because herbal tea is cheaper than milk tea. B. Because herbal tea tastes better than milk tea. C. Because people care more about their health than before. D. Because people would like to chase this trend. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the Chinese herbal drinks market? A. Unclear. B. Promising. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国医院通过开具中药配方茶饮在健康饮品市场占据优势，并分析了其受欢迎的原因及市场前景。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词的下文“by prescribing herbal formulas that target minor symptoms, from calming nerves and aiding sleep to promoting healthy hair (通过开具针对轻微症状的中药配方，从安神助眠到促进头发健康)”可知，这些中药配方具有一定疗效，可以帮助医院在健康饮品市场占据优势，画线词意思是“优势”，与B项意思相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This herbal tea is based on a well-known Chinese medicine formula designed to treat symptoms of insomnia and neurasthenia (失眠和神经衰弱). (这款草药茶采用了一剂知名中药配方，专为缓解失眠与神经衰弱症状而设计)”和第四段中“In recent years, an increasing number of health-conscious people have developed a strong interest in such medicinal herbal tea drinks. (近年来，越来越多注重健康的人开始对这类药用草本茶饮产生浓厚兴趣)”可知，中药茶饮针对失眠、神经衰弱等症状，且越来越多健康意识强的人对其感兴趣。由此可知，它们既健康又受欢迎。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In recent years, an increasing number of health-conscious people have developed a strong interest in such medicinal herbal tea drinks. (近年来，越来越多注重健康的人开始对这类药用草本茶饮产生浓厚兴趣)”可知，越来越多人选择中药茶饮是因为人们更关注健康。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to data from iiMedia Research, the Chinese herbal drinks market reached 41.16 billion yuan ($5.64 billion) in 2023 and is expected to surpass 100 billion yuan in 2028. (根据艾媒咨询数据显示，2023年中国草本饮料市场规模达411.6亿元人民币，预计到2028年将突破1000亿元大关)”可知，中药茶饮市场增长潜力巨大。由此可知，作者看好中药茶饮市场的未来，认为其前景乐观。故选B项。 C Modern problems require modern solutions. When it comes to the lack of windows or desirable views, American company LiquidView has an interesting idea — a virtual window. Consisting primarily of a series of high-resolution (高清晰度的) digital panels and a kit to make them blend perfectly into any space, like a normal window, the virtual window also offers users access to a content library featuring beautiful locations all over the world. Accessible via a special smartphone app, the library offers an immersive (沉浸式的) experience according to your local time. “Each view is filmed by National Geographic level photographers with feature film motion picture cameras, over a 24-hour period. It records an entire day in impressive 8K videos,” the LiquidView website claims. “To add to the unpredictability (不可预知性) of looking out a window, views are improved with photo-realistic content that appears randomly throughout the day.” Each smart window comes with a handy kit, one or several high-quality 4K Sony screens (depending on the chosen model), and access to the company’s content library. In terms of pricing, it was announced that a single-panel VirtualWindow costs $25,000, while the larger, three-panel option can be bought for $100,000. “Like so many people, I have lived in homes and worked in offices with no views or terrible ones,” LiquidView CEO and filmmaker, Mitch Braff, said. “Improving people’s lives by giving anyone a beautiful view was the reason for starting LiquidView. Our windows literally transform rooms.” Sadly, LiquidView Virtual Windows won’t be able to help with space ventilation (通风), and they come with an added cost in electricity. However, for some people this could be a small price to pay for the chance to wake up to virtually any view imaginable. “I believe with the Virtual Window, LiquidView offers a pathbreaking solution that can completely transform how you experience a space,” said Noah Kaplan, founder and president of Leon Speakers. “This product has the potential to solve some of the biggest challenges that architects and designers face. Imagine being able to provide a view of anywhere in the world, in any space. It’s mind-blowing really.” 8. Where are the views in the content library from? A. They are selected from classic movies. B. They are computer-generated videos of various landscapes. C. They are recorded by photographers over a 24-hour period. D. They are live streams from real windows around the world. 9. How much do two single-panel Virtual Windows cost? A. $25000. B. $50,000. C. $75,000. D. $100,000. 10. Why did LiquidView create Virtual Windows according to Mitch Braff? A. To encourage people to get out and travel. B. To awaken people’s interest in photography. C. To offer high-quality screens to homes and offices. D. To transform living space by providing beautiful views. 11. What might LiquidView do to improve Virtual Windows? A. Add more tools to the kit. B. Make the windows larger. C. Develop more electricity-saving panels. D. Collect more views in the content library. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了LiquidView公司通过高科技虚拟窗户解决方案，用实景拍摄影像替代传统窗户景观，虽存在能耗等局限，但为无窗空间提供了视觉改造方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Each view is filmed by National Geographic level photographers with feature film motion picture cameras, over a 24-hour period. (每一处景观都由《国家地理》级别的摄影师使用电影级摄像机，历时24小时全程拍摄完成)”可知，内容库中的景观是由摄影师历时24小时实地拍摄完成的。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In terms of pricing, it was announced that a single-panel Virtual Window costs $25,000 (价格方面，官方公布单屏虚拟窗户售价为25000美元)”可知，两扇单屏虚拟窗户的价格为50000美元(=25000×2)。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Mitch Braff所说的话“Improving people’s lives by giving anyone a beautiful view was the reason for starting LiquidView. Our windows literally transform rooms. (LiquidView的创立初衷，就是希望通过为每个人提供绝美景观来改善生活品质。我们的虚拟窗确实能彻底改变房间的视觉体验)”可知，Mitch Braff创建虚拟窗户的初衷是通过美景改造生活空间。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Sadly, LiquidView Virtual Windows won’t be able to help with space ventilation (通风), and they come with an added cost in electricity. (遗憾的是，LiquidView虚拟窗户无法改善空间通风，还会增加额外的电费开支)”可知，该产品尚不能解决通风问题且耗电。因此，公司未来可能会开发更多的节电屏。故选C项。 D The Center for Digital Thriving (繁荣) , a new research and innovation center, was opened at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Its work seeks to change understanding of how young people and everyone else can thrive in a technology-filled world. The Center was founded by researchers Carrie James and Emily Weinstein, who have worked for more than a decade to explore the emerging (新兴的) digital landscape that young people are facing today and to answer questions about what it’s like for teens to grow up with social media. “We can’t get around the simple truth that technology greatly shapes teens’ experiences today,” says Emily. “Technology is hugely important to students’ lives, learning, relationships and development. It matters for their well-being (幸福) and sense of self.” Emily and Carrie explored these issues most recently in their book Behind Their Screens, which documents just how much adults have been missing in their understanding of how teens interact with the screens that surround them. “The main feature of our research has been slowing down and really listening to teens as they talk about growing up with today’s technologies,” says Carrie. “Putting teens’ voices and stories at the center has been transformative.” The book shows adults are worried about teens and their screen time, noting that parents need to get rid of the “us-versus-them” mindset. Instead, learning how to take an “us-and-them” approach helps build connection and healthy tech habits. Emily advises against strict rules about social media use or blaming the current adolescent mental health problems entirely on social media or devices. Families, she explains, would be better off if parents discussed their child’s social media use in more positive ways. Be more of a coach, she says, and less of a judge. In their previous research, Emily and Carrie found that text messages that were marked “read” without replies from the receiver were a common anxiety source for teens. Young people today need better access to the resources that can help them navigate the ups and downs of adolescence in the digital age. The Center is not only providing those resources but putting them where young people are, creating opportunities for all young people to thrive as technology continues to develop. 12. What message does paragraph 2 convey? A. Technology helps improve students’ learning. B. Technology affects teens’ growth to a great degree. C. Teens should balance their online and offline time. D. Adults should pay more attention to teens’ happiness. 13. What is special about Emily and Carrie’s research? A. It focuses on the younger generation’s thoughts. B. It observes the development of a number of teens. C. It shows technology’s impact on teens’ mental health. D. It stresses adults’ role in teens’ technology experiences. 14. What does Emily suggest adults do? A. Set a tight time limit on teens’ phone use. B. Exercise parental authority all the time. C. Guide teens’ online activities positively. D. Encourage teens to stay away from their smartphones. 15. Why does the author mention the issue in the last paragraph? A. To show mental problems during adolescence. B. To encourage researchers to study teens’ mental health. C. To present the necessity to provide help for teens. D. To prove the resources shared by the Center are helpful. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈佛大学新成立的“数字繁荣中心”致力于研究技术对青少年的深远影响，强调应倾听青少年声音，倡导家长以合作而非控制的方式引导青少年建立健康的技术使用习惯。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““We can’t get around the simple truth that technology greatly shapes teens’ experiences today,” says Emily. “Technology is hugely important to students’ lives, learning, relationships and development. It matters for their well-being (幸福) and sense of self.” (“我们无法回避一个简单的事实：技术正在深刻塑造着当代青少年的生活体验，”Emily说道。“技术对学生的生活、学习、人际关系和成长发展都至关重要，它影响着他们的幸福感和自我认知。”)”可知，技术影响当代青少年的生活体验，对学生的方方面面都很重要。由此可知，技术在很大程度上影响着青少年的成长。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Carrie所说的话“The main feature of our research has been slowing down and really listening to teens as they talk about growing up with today’s technologies (我们研究的核心特点在于放慢节奏，真正倾听青少年讲述他们在当今科技环境下的成长经历)”和“Putting teens’ voices and stories at the center has been transformative. (将青少年的心声和故事置于研究核心，这一做法带来了根本性的转变)”可知，两人研究的特殊之处在于它关注的是年轻一代的想法。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Families, she explains, would be better off if parents discussed their child’s social media use in more positive ways. Be more of a coach, she says, and less of a judge. (她解释道，如果家长能以更积极的方式与孩子讨论社交媒体的使用，家庭关系将会更加和谐。她这样建议，多当教练，少当裁判)”可知，Emily建议成年人积极引导青少年的网络活动。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In their previous research, Emily and Carrie found that text messages that were marked “read” without replies from the receiver were a common anxiety source for teens. Young people today need better access to the resources that can help them navigate the ups and downs of adolescence in the digital age. (在他们先前的研究中，Emily和Carrie发现，那些显示“已读”却未得到回复的短信，往往成为青少年焦虑的常见来源。当代年轻人更需要获得相关资源，以帮助他们应对数字时代青春期特有的起伏与挑战)”可知，此处先指出青少年的焦虑与技术相关，再点明他们需要资源应对数字时代的挑战。由此可知，作者提到该问题是为了提出为青少年提供帮助的必要性。故选C项。 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。 Many films and TV shows will tell you that sharks are scary and often eat beach–goers. ____16____ Sharks play an important ecological role in the ocean.

Colorful lanterns hung above the streets, and the air was filled with the aroma of fried dumplings and sweet candied fruits. Among the joyful crowd was a little boy named Leo, a 7-year-old American visiting China with his parents. Clutching a rabbit-shaped lantern, he stared in awe at the dragon dancers twisting through the crowd. Suddenly, a firecracker exploded nearby. Terrified, Leo dropped his lantern and rushed backward. When he looked up, his parents were nowhere to be seen. The sea of strangers in red coats and furry hats swallowed his tiny figure. Panic surged through him as he pushed through the crowd, tears streaming down his face. Meanwhile, Leo’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carter, realized their son was missing. Madly, they searched the stalls selling paper cuttings and calligraphy brushes, shouting his name. But their voices were drowned out by the drums and laughter. Just as despair began to set in, a young volunteer in a bright yellow vest noticed Leo crying by a sugar painting stand. The volunteer, a girl named Wenwen, knelt down in front of Leo. She noticed his tear-streaked face and the fear in his eyes. “Hey, little boy, are you lost?” she asked gently in English, trying to hide her own concern. Leo took a few steps back, his heart pounding. He had been warned by his parents about strangers, and although Wenwen seemed kind, he was still cautious. “My mommy and daddy...” he hesitated, looking around desperately. 注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Wenwen understood the situation immediately. She showed him her volunteer badge (徽章). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wenwen kept talking to him to distract him from his fear. Finally, they arrived at the spot where Leo had lost sight of his parents. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Wenwen understood the situation immediately. She showed him her volunteer badge. And she said, “I work here to help people like you. Do you remember where you last saw them?” Leo hesitated for a moment but then slowly nodded. He pointed towards the direction of the dragon dance area. Wenwen took his small hand, and Leo tensed up at first. But Wenwen’s warm and reassuring grip made him feel a little more secure. Leo gradually relaxed and even managed to give her a small smile. They passed by stalls of traditional handicrafts and folk art, and Wenwen used her knowledge to explain the meanings behind each item, making Leo feel more connected to the place. Wenwen kept talking to him to distract him from his fear. Finally, they arrived at the spot where Leo had lost sight of his parents. And there, Mr. and Mrs. Carter were waiting anxiously. When they saw Leo, they rushed towards him, their eyes filled with relief and gratitude. “Thank you so much, Wenwen,” Mrs. Carter said, hugging Leo tightly. Leo looked up at Wenwen, and this time, his eyes were full of trust and thankfulness. The experience had turned a scary situation into a memorable lesson about kindness and the power of human connection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述春节期间，热闹的庙会正进行得如火如荼。7岁美国男孩利奥与父母一同逛庙会，被舞龙表演吸引。突然鞭炮声吓着利奥，他与父母走散，陷入恐慌。与此同时，利奥父母也发现孩子失踪，疯狂寻找。这时，志愿者文文注意到哭泣的利奥并上前关心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“文文立刻明白了情况。她向他出示了自己的志愿者徽章。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：庙会中走散的利奥在志愿者文文帮助下，逐渐放松，文文还介绍摊位物品让他融入环境。 ②由第二段首句内容“文文一直和利奥说话，好让他不再那么害怕。最后，他们来到了利奥跟父母走散的地方。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：文文带利奥找到焦急等待的父母，利奥满是信任感激，经历让他体会善良与情感力量。 2.续写线索： 利奥逐渐放松——找到等待的父母——感激文文——利奥的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助： help/assist/aid ②.解释：explain/interpret ③.冲向：rush towards/dash to 情绪类 ①.焦虑地：anxiously/in anxiety/nervously ②.感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

If you are curious about them, you can click here and get the following information. Peaceful place, top of the world Ever since the publication of the Global Peace Index, Iceland has ranked top as the world’s safest country. Entire years have passed with zero homicides taking place and the crime rate is one of the lowest in the world, according to the think-tank Institute for Economics and Peace. Tap water is as pure as bottled water As always, remember to drink plenty of water. But do it straight from the tap. Iceland’s spring water is notably pure, without smell or taste. Don’t be fooled by the big stacks of bottled water at the supermarket. It’s a tourist trap and an environmental waste — essentially tap water in a plastic bottle. Heating and electricity are cheap Iceland can be painfully expensive-island nations with a small population tend to — but there is one thing Icelanders pay less for than other Europeans: hot water and electricity. In the capital region, every house has geothermal heating. All this abundance of hot water is the reason for the leisure of soaking in local baths known as sundlaug. The outdoor pools were originally built to teach swimming, but play a much larger cultural role in modern Iceland. Wildlife is abundant if you know where to look Look up. To the wild side of Iceland. Iceland is home to millions of migratory birds, gathering along the shoreline, wetlands and lakes. And what do they have to do with quality of life you ask.

B KUNMING — Several Chinese hospitals have found their edge in the country’s growing health drinks market by prescribing herbal formulas that target minor symptoms, from calming nerves and aiding sleep to promoting healthy hair. This herbal tea is based on a well-known Chinese medicine formula designed to treat symptoms of insomnia and neurasthenia (失眠和神经衰弱). The tea includes sauteed jujube kernels (炒红枣仁), dried lily, poria fungus and albizia bark (茯苓菌和合欢树皮). Each dose of herbs is individually packaged and can be brewed or boiled for easy consumption at home. “The bags of dried herbs are not available for purchase on the market. To obtain them, individuals must obtain a prescription as they are tailored to specific syndrome differentiation (辨证论治),” Wan Xixi, deputy director of the hospital’s medical administration department, explains. Struggling with insomnia, Guo Xiaofan, a 26-year-old resident of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, recently brewed the dried herbs at home and found it a great alternative to drinking milk tea. “The first sip tasted a bit strange but as I continued drinking, it tasted quite good,” she says. In recent years, an increasing number of health-conscious people have developed a strong interest in such medicinal herbal tea drinks. “I bought five doses of each type. With medical insurance, the total bill came to less than 100 yuan ($13.9) , which I think is very reasonable. After drinking them, I felt the effects were good,” Huang, an employee from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, says. Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine recently launched five herbal medicine formulas for drinking. On the first day of the market release, 10,000 doses were sold. In addition to hospitals, many pharmacies, including the established brand Beijing Tong Ren Tang, have seen a boost in herbal tea sales. According to data from iiMedia Research, the Chinese herbal drinks market reached 41.16 billion yuan ($5.64 billion) in 2023 and is expected to surpass 100 billion yuan in 2028. 4. What does the underlined word “edge” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Side. B. Advantage. C. Suburb. D. Margin. 5. What do we know about the herbal drinks? A. They are healthy and popular. B. They can cure severe disease. C. Their price are extremely expensive. D. They can be bought everywhere. 6. Why there are more and more people choose herbal tea? A. Because herbal tea is cheaper than milk tea. B. Because herbal tea tastes better than milk tea. C. Because people care more about their health than before. D. Because people would like to chase this trend. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the Chinese herbal drinks market? A. Unclear. B. Promising. C. Critical. D. Neutral. C Modern problems require modern solutions. When it comes to the lack of windows or desirable views, American company LiquidView has an interesting idea — a virtual window. Consisting primarily of a series of high-resolution (高清晰度的) digital panels and a kit to make them blend perfectly into any space, like a normal window, the virtual window also offers users access to a content library featuring beautiful locations all over the world. Accessible via a special smartphone app, the library offers an immersive (沉浸式的) experience according to your local time. “Each view is filmed by National Geographic level photographers with feature film motion picture cameras, over a 24-hour period. It records an entire day in impressive 8K videos,” the LiquidView website claims. “To add to the unpredictability (不可预知性) of looking out a window, views are improved with photo-realistic content that appears randomly throughout the day.” Each smart window comes with a handy kit, one or several high-quality 4K Sony screens (depending on the chosen model), and access to the company’s content library. In terms of pricing, it was announced that a single-panel VirtualWindow costs $25,000, while the larger, three-panel option can be bought for $100,000. “Like so many people, I have lived in homes and worked in offices with no views or terrible ones,” LiquidView CEO and filmmaker, Mitch Braff, said. “Improving people’s lives by giving anyone a beautiful view was the reason for starting LiquidView. Our windows literally transform rooms.” Sadly, LiquidView Virtual Windows won’t be able to help with space ventilation (通风), and they come with an added cost in electricity. However, for some people this could be a small price to pay for the chance to wake up to virtually any view imaginable. “I believe with the Virtual Window, LiquidView offers a pathbreaking solution that can completely transform how you experience a space,” said Noah Kaplan, founder and president of Leon Speakers. “This product has the potential to solve some of the biggest challenges that architects and designers face. Imagine being able to provide a view of anywhere in the world, in any space. It’s mind-blowing really.” 8. Where are the views in the content library from? A. They are selected from classic movies. B. They are computer-generated videos of various landscapes. C. They are recorded by photographers over a 24-hour period. D. They are live streams from real windows around the world. 9. How much do two single-panel Virtual Windows cost? A. $25,000. B. $50,000. C. $75,000. D. $100,000. 10. Why did LiquidView create Virtual Windows according to Mitch Braff? A. To encourage people to get out and travel. B. To awaken people’s interest in photography. C To offer high-quality screens to homes and offices. D. To transform living space by providing beautiful views. 11. What might LiquidView do to improve Virtual Windows? A. Add more tools to the kit. B. Make the windows larger. C. Develop more electricity-saving panels. D. Collect more views in the content library. D The Center for Digital Thriving (繁荣) , a new research and innovation center, was opened at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Its work seeks to change understanding of how young people and everyone else can thrive in a technology-filled world. The Center was founded by researchers Carrie James and Emily Weinstein, who have worked for more than a decade to explore the emerging (新兴的) digital landscape that young people are facing today and to answer questions about what it’s like for teens to grow up with social media. “We can’t get around the simple truth that technology greatly shapes teens’ experiences today,” says Emily. “Technology is hugely important to students’ lives, learning, relationships and development. It matters for their well-being (幸福) and sense of self.” Emily and Carrie explored these issues most recently in their book Behind Their Screens which documents just how much adults have been missing in their understanding of how teens interact with the screens that surround them. “The main feature of our research has been slowing down and really listening to teens as they talk about growing up with today’s technologies,” says Carrie. “Putting teens’ voices and stories at the center has been transformative.” The book shows adults are worried about teens and their screen time, noting that parents need to get rid of the “us-versus-them” mindset. Instead, learning how to take an “us-and-them” approach helps build connection and healthy tech habits. Emily advises against strict rules about social media use or blaming the current adolescent mental health problems entirely on social media or devices. Families, she explains, would be better off if parents discussed their child’s social media use in more positive ways. Be more of a coach, she says, and less of a judge. In their previous research, Emily and Carrie found that text messages that were marked “read” without replies from the receiver were a common anxiety source for teens. Young people today need better access to the resources that can help them navigate the ups and downs of adolescence in the digital age. The Center is not only providing those resources but putting them where young people are, creating opportunities for all young people to thrive as technology continues to develop. 12. What message does paragraph 2 convey? A. Technology helps improve students’ learning. B. Technology affects teens’ growth to a great degree. C. Teens should balance their online and offline time. D. Adults should pay more attention to teens’ happiness. 13. What is special about Emily and Carrie’s research? A. It focuses on the younger generation’s thoughts. B. It observes the development of a number of teens. C. It shows technology’s impact on teens’ mental health. D. It stresses adults’ role in teens’ technology experiences. 14. What does Emily suggest adults do? A. Set a tight time limit on teens’ phone use. B. Exercise parental authority all the time. C. Guide teens’ online activities positively. D. Encourage teens to stay away from their smartphones. 15. Why does the author mention the issue in the last paragraph? A. To show mental problems during adolescence. B. To encourage researchers to study teens’ mental health. C. To present the necessity to provide help for teens. D. To prove the resources shared by the Center are helpful. 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。 Many films and TV shows will tell you that sharks are scary and often eat beach–goers. ____16____ Sharks play an important ecological role in the ocean.

Colorful lanterns hung above the streets, and the air was filled with the aroma of fried dumplings and sweet candied fruits. Among the joyful crowd was a little boy named Leo, a 7-year-old American visiting China with his parents. Clutching a rabbit-shaped lantern, he stared in awe at the dragon dancers twisting through the crowd. Suddenly, a firecracker exploded nearby. Terrified, Leo dropped his lantern and rushed backward. When he looked up, his parents were nowhere to be seen. The sea of strangers in red coats and furry hats swallowed his tiny figure. Panic surged through him as he pushed through the crowd, tears streaming down his face. Meanwhile, Leo’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carter, realized their son was missing. Madly, they searched the stalls selling paper cuttings and calligraphy brushes, shouting his name. But their voices were drowned out by the drums and laughter. Just as despair began to set in, a young volunteer in a bright yellow vest noticed Leo crying by a sugar painting stand. The volunteer, a girl named Wenwen, knelt down in front of Leo. She noticed his tear-streaked face and the fear in his eyes. “Hey, little boy, are you lost?” she asked gently in English, trying to hide her own concern. Leo took a few steps back, his heart pounding. He had been warned by his parents about strangers, and although Wenwen seemed kind, he was still cautious. “My mommy and daddy...” he hesitated, looking around desperately. 注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Wenwen understood the situation immediately.

Finally, they arrived at the spot where Leo had lost sight of his parents. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
