The Path to Achieving Success Success is a destination that many people strive to reach, but the journey to it is rarely straightforward. 1 some may seem to achieve success effortlessly, the truth is that for most, it involves overcoming numerous hurdles. Whether it is in the form of academic challenges, career setbacks, or personal struggles, persistence, patience, and adaptability are required along the path to achieving success. One of the first obstacles 2 stand in the way is self-doubt. When you’re starting a new project or embarking on a new career, you may wonder if you’re capable of achieving your goals. However, it is important to remember that doubt is a natural part of the process. _______ ___3__ _______ you keep moving forward, you can gradually build confidence. Success, after all, is not determined by how many times you fall, but by how many times you get back up. Additionally, success is not always achieved in a linear(线性的)fashion. Many individuals find themselves 4 (face)unexpected challenges, such as economic hardships or personal crises. 5 it is the loss of a job or a health setback, these experiences can feel like major roadblocks. However, this is precisely when resilience is built. 6 who can adapt to new circumstances and continue to push forward often find that their setbacks eventually lead them to new opportunities. Success also requires learning from mistakes. We may fail many times — in our studies or careers — and the process of failing many times 7 we achieve the ultimate success can be frustrating. However, success is not solely about avoiding failure; it is about 8 you respond to it. By analyzing your mistakes and seeking ways to improve, you gradually pave the way for future achievements. In conclusion, the road to success is full of twists and turns, but it is the ability to navigate these challenges 9 determines whether one will finally reach their goals. 10 setbacks you encounter, staying focused and learning from each experience ensures that success is waiting for you at the end of the tunnel. 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. A．association  B．creatively  C． determined  D．evidenced  E. faithfully F. figure   G. inferior   H. lack   I. possess   J. relate   K. similar Animal “languages” Is language the exclusive property of the human species? The idea of talking animals is as old and as widespread among human societies as language itself. All cultures have legends in which some animal plays a speaking role. “Fox” is a favorite 11 in many Native American tales, and many an animal takes the stage in Aesop’s famous fables. If language is viewed only as a system of communication, then many species communicate. The question is whether these communication systems are at all like human linguistic knowledge, which is gained by children with no clear instruction, and which is used 12 , rather than simply in response to internal or external stimuli. Most humans who acquire language use speech sounds to express meanings, but such sounds are not necessarily a basic part of what we have been calling language, as 13 by the sign languages. The chirping of birds and the dancing of bees may potentially represent systems 14 to human languages. If animal communication systems are not like human language, it will not be because of a(n) 15 of speech. Conversely (相反地), when animals vocally mimic human speaking, it does not mean they 16 language. Language is a system that relates sounds or gestures to meanings. Talking birds such as parrots are capable of 17 reproducing words of human language that they have heard, but their speaking carry no meaning. Talking birds do not chop up the sounds into separate units. If a parrot learns cat and cats, and dog and dogs, and learns the word parrot, she will be unable to form the plural parrots as children do by the age of three. Reports of an African grey parrot named Alex suggest that when the trainer uses words in context, Alex seems to 18 some sounds to their meanings. This is more than simple imitation, but it is not how children acquire the complexities of the grammar of any language. It is more like a dog learning the 19 between certain sounds and meanings, such as heel, sit, and fetch. To hold that animals communicate by systems qualitatively different from human language system is not to claim human superiority. Humans are 20 to hunting dogs, whose sense of smell is far better than that of human animals; they are just different biologically. The human language ability is rooted in the human brain, just as the communication systems of other species are determined by their body structure. III. Reading Comprehension (45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 Truth be told, a life- changing college experience doesn’t begin or end with a high GPA or great university tour. And although parents and teachers alike work diligently to prep their students with the cutting-edge classes and impressive transcripts, they’re 21 one vital skill: emotional intelligence. A poll of 1,502 first-year college students in the U.S. found that a majority of them wish they had received more 22 preparation for college. Emotional preparedness is 23 “the ability to take care of oneself, adapt to new environments, 24 negative emotions or behavior and build positive relationship,” according to the survey. “Survey data indicate that college readiness requires far more than just a solid academic foundation — finding that seems 25 traditional higher education preparation,” said John McPhee, Executive Director of the Jed Foundation, which co- sponsored the survey. “It is clear that emotional preparedness should be better 26 the work that high school communities are doing to guide students through the transition into college.” Data show that college students 27 far more than their academics-- and their stress can take a serious toll (代价) on their 28 in school. Forty percent of survey participants felt pressure to pay for college expenses, followed by 30 percent who said their biggest 29 was to make new friends. 30 , keeping in touch with family and friends not at their college (28 percent) and being independent (16 percent) also weighed heavily on college students’ shoulders. All of these 31 had a negative impact inside and outside of the classroom. Students who felt less emotionally prepared for college were more likely to have a lower grade point average, regularly 32 drugs and/or alcohol, and rate their overall college experience as terrible or poor. “As high school seniors start applying to college around this time of year, parents and people 33 in their lives can play an important role in helping children build confidence and life skills, said Marisa Glandella-Porco, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jordan Porco Foundation, a survey co-sponsor. “It is important to 34 them to choose a college that best fits their needs first and foremost — not only in a(n) 35 sense, but also relative to emotional needs.” Thankfully, whether your child is packing up for school this fall or still in diapers, it’s never too late (or too early) to begin prepping them for university life. Here’s what parents should do to help their college-bound kid, starting now.

Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and a balanced diet.” It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before Facebook, surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction (分心) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered the pleasure of reading and entertainment. I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 36．Why does the author refer to the message on Facebook in the first paragraph? A．To raise a problem. B．To explain a fact. C．To share her experience. D．To give an example. 37．What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Closed. B．Kept. C．Updated. D．Checked. 38．What did the author do to change her life? A．She went to the gym as often as she could. B．She developed some healthy habits. C．She traveled around a lot for a year. D．She tried to make money for her holidays. 39．What is the author’s attitude toward social media? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Objective. B EXPERT WORKSHOPS Each hour-long workshop runs twice; participate in any two of three. MONDAY, 13:00-14:00/ 14:00-15:00 PLANET MONEYAdam Davidson & Alex Blumberg, Co-Founders and Hosts of NPR’s Planet Money MONEY (Ballroom A) The World Behind Your T-shirt Explore the global economy through the lens of an item you wear every day — the T-shirt. We’ll follow the journey of a typical T-shirt around the world as it is produced and sold. During the journey we’ll travel across more than 20,000 miles over four continents, meeting the people that make the clothes we wear. Then, in teams you’ll create competing T-shirt companies and go through every stage of the process, from coming up with a design to assembling mock T-shirts in a simulated garment factory. Get ready! Do Something.orgApril Wright, Director, International Programs Janice Tsai, International Associate (Ballroom B) 10 Social Change Ways Make You a Baller This session will expose the myth that being a social changemaker makes you a self-important achiever. Instead, we’ll highlight the 10 ways being a social changemaker which will make you probably a baller. How? We’ll share real examples of young people across the globe that are making a difference — big and small — in their communities. EdenWorksIrving Steel, International Liaison Officer, TCS Education System and Advisor at Edenworks Wang Zongying, Executive Director of the Women’s CEO Network of China Patrick Wook, Co-Founder of the International Entrepreneur Institute (Ballroom C) Is Aquaponics the Future of Food? Welcome to the future of food! Aquaponics responds to the growing need for sustainable methods of food production by taking two practices, pairing the production of fish and plants together and connecting them through an eco-system to create environmental efficiency; Aquaponics uses only 10 percent of water compared to traditional agriculture and yields 2-3 times the amount of food, without the use of chemicals and pesticides (农药). The U. S. and China use roughly half of all chemical fertilizer in the world for food production. Imagine the possibilities. 40．The workshop in Ballroom A is aimed to help the participants ______. A．study the global economy through the lens of the T-shirt B．start the journey of a typical factory around the world C．meet the people that make the clothes which we wear D．go through every stage of assembling mock T-shirts 41．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the workshop in Ballroom B? A．April Wright and Janice Tsai will host the workshop. B．This workshop will expose the myth of a social changemaker. C．The hosts will share some real examples of young people all over the world. D．You’ll learn about some big and small differences made in some communities. 42．“Aquaponics” mentioned in the last workshop probably refers to ______. A．the introduction of future food B．a traditional agriculture method C．an eco-system for food production D．a test on chemicals and pesticides C A yearly event in the Florida Keys, Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival is open to divers (潜水者) who enjoy music performances and watery wildlife. Like a scene out of aDisney movie, you’ ll find yourself dancing with a group of fish at this festival! Previous shows have also seen many talented musicians. Since 1985, there has been a July weekend set aside for jamming out underwater in the name of protection. It’s an amazing combination of music and nature. Event co-founder Bill Becker said, “This festival is an energetic way to celebrate the coral reef, and we celebrate it by looking for a balance between the protection work and public enjoyment.” The festival gives ordinary people an opportunity to experience the reef like never before. Those who attend it leave not only with fun memories but also with lasting appreciation for this precious environment and the desire to take action. This leads to improved management of the Florida Keys. Among the continental United States, Florida is the only state cool enough to have its own coral reefs just off the coast stretching (延伸) out for an impressive 360 miles. However, with a great reef comes great responsibility. As reefs around the world continue to decrease, Florida is still able to provide food and shelter for a number of threatened and endangered species. The shallow reef acts as a natural barrier (屏障) against storms and flooding, and maintains a healthy population of fish for catching. Factors like ocean temperature, pollution, and disease could threaten corals. Many types that make up Florida’s reefs are on the threatened species list. Thankfully, fantastic events like this festival are met with positive reaction and win support for protection. The festival serves as a wake-up call for people to realize the important role they can play in protecting the species. In addition, it reminds communities of the necessity of restoring these vital ecosystems for future generations. 43．What is the festival probably aimed at besides bringing fun? A．Encouraging coral reef tourism. B．Raising environmental awareness. C．Sharing the beauty of underwater music. D．Honoring the history of the Florida Keys. 44．What does the explanation in Paragraph 3 suggest? A．The festival can be a win-win activity. B．Public interest in adventure travel has increased. C．The festival makes the Florida Keys well known. D．Some negative impacts of the shows are noticed. 45．What is mainly pointed out about Florida in the text? A．It relies heavily on coral reef farming. B．It does well in coral reef preservation. C．It is creative in fighting natural disasters. D．It is facing the challenges of climate change. 46．What’s the author’s attitude towards this festival? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Favourable. D．Uncertain. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. How to Cope with Emotional Eating If you empty the fridge when you’re stressed or upset, that’s called emotional eating. Emotional eating affects most people from time to time. But regularly letting your feelings guide your food intake can affect your health. Sadness, boredom, and other negative feelings can drive emotional eating. Emotional eating includes eating a whole container of ice-cream after a breakup. Or eating up a bag of potato chips when you’re home alone on a Saturday night. 47 Many people overeat at joyous events, such as parties and weddings. Eating more food than your body needs can have dangerous results. People who eat for emotional reasons often gain too much weight. This puts them at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, obesity, and cancer. Eating too much has emotional consequences as well. 48 Here are some tips for you to stop emotional eating episodes and break the cycle: Learn to recognize hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, ask yourself what’s driving it. If you are truly hungry, you’ll notice physical symptoms, such as an empty stomach. 49 If you don’t have those signs, you probably don’t need to eat right then. Find other interests. Finding an activity that you enjoy can increase self-confidence, which is often poor in emotional eaters. Examples might be yoga, playing a musical instrument, volunteering, or painting. 50 If that’s so, then a new interest can fill your hours and make you less likely to look to food for emotional satisfaction. A．Emotional eating results from certain feelings, such as anger or sadness. B．Other less obvious hunger cues include a bad temper and trouble focusing. C．But happy events can cause emotional eating, too. D．You may find that your eating is driven by boredom. E．These include feeling guilty or embarrassed afterward. F．However, boredom can lead to emotional eating as well. IV. Summary Writing （10分） 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Should Schools Ban Smartphones? France has not allowed smartphone use in primary or secondary schools since 2018, claiming that it would help children focus, reduce their social-media use and alleviate online bullying. The key question is whether banning smartphones in schools offers any benefits to mental health. A recent study, led by Amy Orben at the University of Cambridge, asked 17, 409 people between the ages of 10 and 21 how satisfied they were with their lives and how much they used social media. The findings, reported in 2024 in Nature Communications, show that girls who increased their social media use over the course of a year were significantly less satisfied with their lives if the increase took place when they were between 11 and 13. Boys showed the same trend when increases took place when they were 14 or 15 years old. How much of this will change by banning phones in schools is unclear. In a paper published in the Lancet in February, Victoria Goodyear at the University of Birmingham compared the mental well-being of students in schools that implemented restrictive smartphone policies with those with relaxed policies. Her results show that, though those who spent more time on a smartphone overall have a decline in mental well-being, there was no difference between the two groups. She and her colleagues argue that setting up policies at schools alone is simply not enough. Researchers are trying to paint a complete picture with both hands tied behind their back. According to Dr Orben, social-media companies routinely refuse to give independent researchers access to detailed data on the behaviour of their users. This forces researchers to rely on less accurate proxy measures, like overall screen time. It means that children playing educational games are being put in the same analytical bin as children who are on social media. A more nuanced(细致的) picture of the effects of smartphones needs to be drawn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

The human language ability is rooted in the human brain, just as the communication systems of other species are determined by their body structure. 【答案】 11．F 12．B 13．D 14．K 15．H 16．I 17．E 18．J 19．A 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了语言是否是人类独有的特性。 11．考查名词。句意：“狐狸”是许多印第安人故事中最受欢迎的人物，在伊索寓言中，也有许多动物登上舞台。由“Fox”和“in many Native American tales”可知，句子表示““狐狸”是许多印第安人故事中最受欢迎的人物”，空格处意为“人物”，是figure，空前有a，空格处用单数，故选F。 12．考查副词。句意：问题是，这些交流系统是否完全像人类的语言知识一样，是儿童在没有明确指导的情况下获得的，是创造性地使用的，而不是简单地对内部或外部刺激作出反应。由下文“rather than simply in response to internal or external stimuli”可知，句子表示“是创造性地使用的，而不是简单地对内部或外部刺激作出反应”，空格处意为“创造性地”，用副词修饰used，是creatively，故选B。 13．考查时态，被动语态，主谓一致和省略。句意：大多数学会语言的人使用语音来表达意思，但这些声音不一定是我们所说的语言的基本组成部分，手语就证明了这一点。由“by the sign languages”可知，句子表示“手语就证明了这一点”，空格处意为“证明”，这一点是被证明，描述客观事实，因此as引导的方式状语从句中用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是it，状语从句中主语是it，且有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此空格处是evidenced，故选D。 14．考查形容词。句意：鸟的啁啾和蜜蜂的舞蹈可能潜在地代表了类似于人类语言的系统。由上文“The chirping of birds and the dancing of bees may potentially represent systems”和下文“to human languages”可知，句子表示“鸟的啁啾和蜜蜂的舞蹈可能潜在地代表了类似于人类语言的系统”，空格处意为“类似的”，用形容词作后置定语，是similar，故选K。 15．考查名词。句意：如果动物的交流系统不像人类的语言，那不会是因为缺乏语言。由上文“If animal communication systems are not like human language”可知，句子表示“不会是因为缺乏语言”，空格处意为“缺乏”，是lack，空前有a(n)，空格处用单数，故选H。 16．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：相反，当动物模仿人类说话时，并不意味着它们拥有语言。由上文“Conversely (相反地), when animals vocally mimic human speaking, it does not mean they”可知，句子表示“动物模仿人类说话时，并不意味着它们拥有语言”，空格处意为“拥有”，是possess，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语they是复数，因此空格处用原形，故选I。 17．考查副词。句意：会说话的鸟，如鹦鹉，能够忠实地再现它们所听到的人类语言，但它们所说的话没有任何意义。由上文“Talking birds”和下文“reproducing words of human language”可知，句子表示“鹦鹉能够忠实地再现它们所听到的人类语言”，空格处意为“忠实地”，用副词修饰动词reproducing，是faithfully，故选E。 18．考查不定式。句意：关于一只名叫亚历克斯的非洲灰鹦鹉的报告表明，当训练者在上下文中使用单词时，亚历克斯似乎会将一些声音与它们的意思联系起来。由上文“If a parrot learns cat and cats , and dog and dogs , and learns the word parrot , she will be unable to form the plural parrots as children do by the age of three. ”可知，句子表示“亚历克斯似乎会将一些声音与它们的意思联系起来”，空格处意为“使联系”，是relate，seem to do sth.是固定短语，意为“似乎做某事”，因此空格处用原形，故选J。 19．考查名词。句意：这更像是一只狗在学习某些声音和含义之间的联系，比如跟上、坐下和拿东西。由上文“relate some sounds to their meanings”可知，句子表示“狗在学习某些声音和含义之间的联系”，空格处意为“联系”，用名词作宾语，是association，是不可数名词，故选A。 20．考查形容词。句意：人类不如猎狗，猎狗的嗅觉远比人类动物好。由下文“hunting dogs, whose sense of smell is far better than that of human animals”可知，句子表示“人类嗅觉不如猎狗”，空格处意为“较差的”，用形容词作表语，是inferior，故选G。 III. Reading Comprehension (45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 Truth be told, a life- changing college experience doesn’t begin or end with a high GPA or great university tour. And although parents and teachers alike work diligently to prep their students with the cutting-edge classes and impressive transcripts, they’re 21 one vital skill: emotional intelligence. A poll of 1,502 first-year college students in the U.S. found that a majority of them wish they had received more 22 preparation for college. Emotional preparedness is 23 “the ability to take care of oneself, adapt to new environments, 24 negative emotions or behavior and build positive relationship,” according to the survey. “Survey data indicate that college readiness requires far more than just a solid academic foundation — finding that seems 25 traditional higher education preparation,” said John McPhee, Executive Director of the Jed Foundation, which co- sponsored the survey. “It is clear that emotional preparedness should be better 26 the work that high school communities are doing to guide students through the transition into college.” Data show that college students 27 far more than their academics-- and their stress can take a serious toll (代价) on their 28 in school. Forty percent of survey participants felt pressure to pay for college expenses, followed by 30 percent who said their biggest 29 was to make new friends. 30 , keeping in touch with family and friends not at their college (28 percent) and being independent (16 percent) also weighed heavily on college students’ shoulders. All of these 31 had a negative impact inside and outside of the classroom. Students who felt less emotionally prepared for college were more likely to have a lower grade point average, regularly 32 drugs and/or alcohol, and rate their overall college experience as terrible or poor. “As high school seniors start applying to college around this time of year, parents and people 33 in their lives can play an important role in helping children build confidence and life skills, said Marisa Glandella-Porco, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jordan Porco Foundation, a survey co-sponsor. “It is important to 34 them to choose a college that best fits their needs first and foremost — not only in a(n) 35 sense, but also relative to emotional needs.” Thankfully, whether your child is packing up for school this fall or still in diapers, it’s never too late (or too early) to begin prepping them for university life. Here’s what parents should do to help their college-bound kid, starting now.

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 I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and a balanced diet.” It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before Facebook, surfing the Internet was an occasional distraction (分心) and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered the pleasure of reading and entertainment. I started taking yoga classes. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. 36．Why does the author refer to the message on Facebook in the first paragraph? A．To raise a problem. B．To explain a fact. C．To share her experience. D．To give an example. 37．What does the underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Closed. B．Kept. C．Updated. D．Checked. 38．What did the author do to change her life? A．She went to the gym as often as she could. B．She developed some healthy habits. C．She traveled around a lot for a year. D．She tried to make money for her holidays. 39．What is the author’s attitude toward social media? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Objective. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．B 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者因为社交媒体Facebook而感到生活被其掌控，以及她如何通过改变习惯来重新掌控生活的故事。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and a balanced diet.” (我在Facebook上收到一条私信。一开始还算无害：“嘿，女孩。想邀请你加入我的下一个挑战小组——我们将专注于每天锻炼30分钟和均衡饮食。”)”以及第二段第前两句“It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. (一切都变得太过分了。Facebook在掌控我的生活，而不是我。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Facebook上的私信是为了引出下文她对Facebook对生活影响的描述，即作为一个例子来说明问题。故选D项。 37．词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词所在句“To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example to my son, I deactivated my Facebook account. (为了重现那些日子的简单，并为我的儿子树立一个更健康的榜样，我deactivated了我的Facebook账号。)”可知，作者为了重现过去的简单生活，给儿子树立一个更健康的榜样，决定对Facebook账号做点什么，结合选项和第四段第一句“I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. (我已经习惯了每天查看Facebook很多次，所以我必须得想出一些新习惯。)”可知，她开始培养新习惯，所以此处应是“关闭”了Facebook账号，即deactivated应是“关闭”的意思，与A项Closed意思相近。故选A项。 38．细节理解题。根据第四段“I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered the pleasure of reading and entertainment. I started taking yoga classes. (我已经习惯了每天查看Facebook很多次，所以我必须得想出一些新习惯。我随身携带一本小说和一本纵横字谜书。我重新发现了阅读和娱乐的乐趣。我开始上瑜伽课。)”可知，作者通过养成一些健康的新习惯来改变她的生活。故选B项。 39．推理判断题。根据最后一段“After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. (几周后，我回到了Facebook。现在，我看着朋友们孩子的成长照片，珍惜社交媒体如何让我与远方的家人保持联系。我每天都会看，但不再渴望不断发布更新。它不再是一种瘾。)”可知，作者在离开Facebook一段时间后，又回到了这个平台，但她现在对它的态度更加客观和理性，不再像以前那样沉迷其中。由此可推知，作者对社交媒体的态度是客观的。故选D项。 B EXPERT WORKSHOPS Each hour-long workshop runs twice; participate in any two of three.

EdenWorksIrving Steel, International Liaison Officer, TCS Education System and Advisor at Edenworks Wang Zongying, Executive Director of the Women’s CEO Network of China Patrick Wook, Co-Founder of the International Entrepreneur Institute (Ballroom C) Is Aquaponics the Future of Food? Welcome to the future of food! Aquaponics responds to the growing need for sustainable methods of food production by taking two practices, pairing the production of fish and plants together and connecting them through an eco-system to create environmental efficiency; Aquaponics uses only 10 percent of water compared to traditional agriculture and yields 2-3 times the amount of food, without the use of chemicals and pesticides (农药). The U. S. and China use roughly half of all chemical fertilizer in the world for food production. Imagine the possibilities. 40．The workshop in Ballroom A is aimed to help the participants ______.

We’ll follow the journey of a typical T-shirt around the world as it is produced and sold. During the journey we’ll travel across more than 20,000 miles over four continents, meeting the people that make the clothes we wear. Then, in teams you’ll create competing T-shirt companies and go through every stage of the process, from coming up with a design to assembling mock T-shirts in a simulated garment factory.(通过你每天穿的一件物品——T恤衫，来探索全球经济。我们将跟随一件普通T恤衫在全球的旅程，见证它是如何被生产和销售的。在这段旅程中，我们将跨越四大洲、行程超过20,000英里，去认识那些为我们制作衣物的人们。随后，你们将分组创建各自的模拟T恤公司，亲历整个生产流程中的每一个环节，从设计到在模拟服装工厂中组装样衣。)”可知，在 Ballroom A的研讨会主要是通过T恤这个视角来探索全球经济，让参与者跟随一件普通T恤在全球生产和销售的旅程，然后分组创建相互竞争的T恤公司，经历从设计到在模拟服装厂组装假T恤的每一个过程，由此可知，该研讨会的目的是帮助参与者通过T恤来研究全球经济。故选A项。 41．细节理解题。根据Do Something.org部分中的“April Wright, Director, International Programs ; Janice Tsai, International Associate; (Ballroom B)( April Wright，国际项目总监；Janice Tsai，国际事务专员；他们所在的地点是Ballroom B（B宴会厅）。)”可知， April Wright和Janice Tsai将主持本次研讨会，所以A选项正确；根据“This session will expose the myth that being a social changemaker makes you a self - important achiever.(本场研讨会将揭示一个谬论：成为一名社会变革者会让你成为一个自以为是的成功者)”可知，该研讨会是要揭露“成为社会变革者会让你成为一个自以为是的成功者”这个谬论，而不是揭露社会变革者的神话，B选项错误；根据“We’ll share real examples of young people across the globe that are making a difference — big and small — in their communities.(我们将分享来自世界各地的年轻人在他们的社区中带来大大小小改变的真实案例)”可知，C选项和D选项描述的内容正确，本题要求选择不正确的选项。故选 B 项。 42．词句猜测题。根据EdenWorks部分中的 “Aquaponics responds to the growing need for sustainable methods of food production by taking two practices, pairing the production of fish and plants together and connecting them through an eco - system to create environmental efficiency(Aquaponics通过结合两种生产方式——将鱼类和植物的生产配对，并通过生态系统将它们连接起来，从而提高环境效率，以应对人们对可持续粮食生产方法日益增长的需求。)”可知，Aquaponics是一种将鱼类养殖和植物种植结合在一起，并通过生态系统将它们连接起来以提高环境效率的食物生产方式，是一种用于食物生产的生态系统。故选C项。 C A yearly event in the Florida Keys, Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival is open to divers (潜水者) who enjoy music performances and watery wildlife. Like a scene out of aDisney movie, you’ ll find yourself dancing with a group of fish at this festival! Previous shows have also seen many talented musicians. Since 1985, there has been a July weekend set aside for jamming out underwater in the name of protection. It’s an amazing combination of music and nature. Event co-founder Bill Becker said, “This festival is an energetic way to celebrate the coral reef, and we celebrate it by looking for a balance between the protection work and public enjoyment.” The festival gives ordinary people an opportunity to experience the reef like never before. Those who attend it leave not only with fun memories but also with lasting appreciation for this precious environment and the desire to take action. This leads to improved management of the Florida Keys. Among the continental United States, Florida is the only state cool enough to have its own coral reefs just off the coast stretching (延伸) out for an impressive 360 miles. However, with a great reef comes great responsibility. As reefs around the world continue to decrease, Florida is still able to provide food and shelter for a number of threatened and endangered species. The shallow reef acts as a natural barrier (屏障) against storms and flooding, and maintains a healthy population of fish for catching. Factors like ocean temperature, pollution, and disease could threaten corals. Many types that make up Florida’s reefs are on the threatened species list. Thankfully, fantastic events like this festival are met with positive reaction and win support for protection. The festival serves as a wake-up call for people to realize the important role they can play in protecting the species. In addition, it reminds communities of the necessity of restoring these vital ecosystems for future generations. 43．What is the festival probably aimed at besides bringing fun? A．Encouraging coral reef tourism. B．Raising environmental awareness. C．Sharing the beauty of underwater music. D．Honoring the history of the Florida Keys. 44．What does the explanation in Paragraph 3 suggest? A．The festival can be a win-win activity. B．Public interest in adventure travel has increased. C．The festival makes the Florida Keys well known. D．Some negative impacts of the shows are noticed. 45．What is mainly pointed out about Florida in the text? A．It relies heavily on coral reef farming. B．It does well in coral reef preservation. C．It is creative in fighting natural disasters. D．It is facing the challenges of climate change. 46．What’s the author’s attitude towards this festival? A．Surprised. B．Worried. C．Favourable. D．Uncertain. 【答案】43．B 44．A 45．B 46．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了佛罗里达群岛的一项年度水下音乐节，该音乐节旨在在带来乐趣的同时提高人们对珊瑚礁等海洋环境的保护意识，强调了佛罗里达珊瑚礁的重要性以及面临的威胁，指出该音乐节在环境保护方面起到积极作用。 43．细节理解题。根据第二段“Event co-founder Bill Becker said, “This festival is an energetic way to celebrate the coral reef, and we celebrate it by looking for a balance between the protection work and public enjoyment.”(活动联合创始人比尔・贝克尔说：“这个音乐节是一种充满活力的庆祝珊瑚礁的方式，我们通过在保护工作和公众娱乐之间寻求平衡来庆祝它。”)”以及第三段“Those who attend it leave not only with fun memories but also with lasting appreciation for this precious environment and the desire to take action. This leads to improved management of the Florida Keys.(参加这个音乐节的人不仅留下了有趣的回忆，而且对这个珍贵的环境有了持久的欣赏以及采取行动的愿望。这导致了对佛罗里达群岛更好的管理)”可知，这个音乐节除了带来乐趣外，旨在提高人们的环境意识。故选B。 44．推理判断题。根据第三“The festival gives ordinary people an opportunity to experience the reef like never before. Those who attend it leave not only with fun memories but also with lasting appreciation for this precious environment and the desire to take action. This leads to improved management of the Florida Keys.(这个音乐节给普通人一个前所未有的体验珊瑚礁的机会。参加这个音乐节的人不仅留下了有趣的回忆，而且对这个珍贵的环境有了持久的欣赏以及采取行动的愿望。这导致了对佛罗里达群岛更好的管理)”可知，这个音乐节既让人们获得乐趣，又能提高人们的环保意识，进而改善对佛罗里达群岛的管理。由此推知，这个音乐节是一个双赢的活动。故选A。 45．推理判断题。根据第四段“Among the continental United States, Florida is the only state cool enough to have its own coral reefs just off the coast stretching ( 延伸) out for an impressive 360 miles. However, with a great reef comes great responsibility. As reefs around the world continue to decrease, Florida is still able to provide food and shelter for a number of threatened and endangered species. The shallow reef acts as a natural barrier (屏障) against storms and flooding, and maintains a healthy population of fish for catching.(在美国大陆，佛罗里达是唯一一个足够特别的州，其沿海拥有自己的珊瑚礁，延伸了令人印象深刻的 360 英里。然而，拥有巨大的珊瑚礁也伴随着重大责任。随着世界各地的珊瑚礁不断减少，佛罗里达仍然能够为一些受威胁和濒危物种提供食物和庇护所。浅珊瑚礁作为抵御风暴和洪水的天然屏障，并维持了可供捕捞的健康鱼类数量)”可推知，佛罗里达在珊瑚礁保护方面做得很好。故选B。 46．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thankfully, fantastic events like this festival are met with positive reaction and win support for protection. The festival serves as a wake-up call for people to realize the important role they can play in protecting the species. In addition, it reminds communities of the necessity of restoring these vital ecosystems for future generations.(值得庆幸的是，像这个音乐节这样精彩的活动得到了积极的回应，并赢得了对保护的支持。这个音乐节敲响了警钟，让人们意识到他们在保护物种方面可以发挥的重要作用。此外，它提醒社区为子孙后代恢复这些重要生态系统的必要性)”可知，作者认为这个音乐节在环保方面起到了积极作用。由此推知，作者对这个音乐节持支持的态度。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

How to Cope with Emotional Eating If you empty the fridge when you’re stressed or upset, that’s called emotional eating. Emotional eating affects most people from time to time. But regularly letting your feelings guide your food intake can affect your health. Sadness, boredom, and other negative feelings can drive emotional eating. Emotional eating includes eating a whole container of ice-cream after a breakup. Or eating up a bag of potato chips when you’re home alone on a Saturday night. 47 Many people overeat at joyous events, such as parties and weddings. Eating more food than your body needs can have dangerous results. People who eat for emotional reasons often gain too much weight. This puts them at greater risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, obesity, and cancer. Eating too much has emotional consequences as well. 48 Here are some tips for you to stop emotional eating episodes and break the cycle: Learn to recognize hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, ask yourself what’s driving it. If you are truly hungry, you’ll notice physical symptoms, such as an empty stomach. 49 If you don’t have those signs, you probably don’t need to eat right then. Find other interests. Finding an activity that you enjoy can increase self-confidence, which is often poor in emotional eaters. Examples might be yoga, playing a musical instrument, volunteering, or painting. 50 If that’s so, then a new interest can fill your hours and make you less likely to look to food for emotional satisfaction. A．Emotional eating results from certain feelings, such as anger or sadness. B．Other less obvious hunger cues include a bad temper and trouble focusing. C．But happy events can cause emotional eating, too. D．You may find that your eating is driven by boredom. E．These include feeling guilty or embarrassed afterward. F．However, boredom can lead to emotional eating as well. 【答案】47．C 48．E 49．B 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了情绪化进食的诱因及其健康风险，并提供了实用建议，如识别真实饥饿信号和培养替代兴趣来打破这种不良循环。 47．前文“Sadness, boredom, and other negative feelings can drive emotional eating. Emotional eating includes eating a whole container of ice-cream after a breakup. Or eating up a bag of potato chips when you’re home alone on a Saturday night. (悲伤、无聊和其他负面情绪都可能引发情绪化进食。比如分手后吃掉整盒冰淇淋，或是周六晚上独自在家时吃完一整包薯片)”提到负面情绪会引发情绪化进食，并举例说明，后文“Many people overeat at joyous events, such as parties and weddings. (许多人在欢乐场合也会暴饮暴食，比如派对和婚礼上)”举例欢乐场合暴饮暴食的情况，此处需过渡句衔接到正面情绪也会引发情绪化进食，因此C项“But happy events can cause emotional eating, too. (但快乐的事件也可能导致情绪化进食)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，后文是对其展开说明。故选C。 48．前文“Eating too much has emotional consequences as well. (暴饮暴食同样会带来情绪上的负面影响)”提到暴饮暴食会影响情绪，此处需具体说明，因此E项“These include feeling guilty or embarrassed afterward. (这些后果包括事后感到内疚或尴尬)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的These指代前文的emotional consequences。故选E。 49．前文“If you are truly hungry, you’ll notice physical symptoms, such as an empty stomach. (如果你真的饿了，你会注意到一些身体症状，比如胃里空空的感觉)”提到真实饥饿的身体症状，此处需补充其他征兆，因此B项“Other less obvious hunger cues include a bad temper and trouble focusing. (其他不太明显的饥饿信号包括脾气暴躁和注意力不集中)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的Other less obvious hunger cues与前文的physical symptoms对应。故选B。 50．后文“If that’s so, then a new interest can fill your hours and make you less likely to look to food for emotional satisfaction. (如果是这样的话，培养一项新的兴趣爱好就能充实你的时间，让你不太可能通过进食来寻求情感上的满足)”指出培养新兴趣能充实时间，从而解决情绪化进食，此处与情绪化进食是由无聊导致的情况有关，因此D项“You may find that your eating is driven by boredom. (你可能会发现自己的进食行为是由无聊驱动的)”符合语境，是培养兴趣能减少进食的前提条件，其中的boredom和后文的fill your hours呼应。故选D。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Should Schools Ban Smartphones? France has not allowed smartphone use in primary or secondary schools since 2018, claiming that it would help children focus, reduce their social-media use and alleviate online bullying. The key question is whether banning smartphones in schools offers any benefits to mental health. A recent study, led by Amy Orben at the University of Cambridge, asked 17, 409 people between the ages of 10 and 21 how satisfied they were with their lives and how much they used social media. The findings, reported in 2024 in Nature Communications, show that girls who increased their social media use over the course of a year were significantly less satisfied with their lives if the increase took place when they were between 11 and 13. Boys showed the same trend when increases took place when they were 14 or 15 years old. How much of this will change by banning phones in schools is unclear. In a paper published in the Lancet in February, Victoria Goodyear at the University of Birmingham compared the mental well-being of students in schools that implemented restrictive smartphone policies with those with relaxed policies. Her results show that, though those who spent more time on a smartphone overall have a decline in mental well-being, there was no difference between the two groups. She and her colleagues argue that setting up policies at schools alone is simply not enough. Researchers are trying to paint a complete picture with both hands tied behind their back. According to Dr Orben, social-media companies routinely refuse to give independent researchers access to detailed data on the behaviour of their users. This forces researchers to rely on less accurate proxy measures, like overall screen time. It means that children playing educational games are being put in the same analytical bin as children who are on social media. A more nuanced(细致的) picture of the effects of smartphones needs to be drawn. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage mainly explores whether banning smartphones in schools benefits students' mental health. It presents studies showing that increased social media use correlates with lower life satisfaction in certain age groups, but notes that school policies alone may not suffice, and highlights the challenge of researching this issue due to data limitations. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要探讨了学校禁止使用智能手机是否对学生的心理健康有益。 【详解】1要点摘录 ①France has not allowed smartphone use in primary or secondary schools since 2018, claiming that it would help children focus, reduce their social-media use and alleviate online bullying.
