The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease — and for which there is no cure. Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. “My dream of dancing died that day,” she says, adding that she felt lonely when she couldn’t join her friends on the sports field. Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born. At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, “I exceed (超出) my expectations,” she says. She’s also found love: “My fiance, Tiago, has always supported me. He comes with me to cardiology visits, reminds me to take my medication and does things like carry the shopping bag for me.” Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Chato feels pride. “Despite all the sad times I have been through, I am alive. I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping, I get to watch my nephews grow up,” she says. “25 years ago there was not as much hope for people with PAH. My advice to anyone is: Be happy, enjoy every minute of your life and don’t give up.” 4. What caused Chato to develop PAH? A The failed operation. B. Her lack of exercise. C. Her heart condition. D. The lung infection. 5. Why did Chato give up her dream? A. She was unwilling to see others. B. Her interest in dancing was reduced. C. She had to receive treatment. D. Her physical state worsened. 6. How did Chato manage her work? A. By getting extra breaks. B. By changing work pace. C. By asking others for help. D. By showing more patience. 7. Which words can best describe Chato? A. Courageous and tough. B. Energetic and talkative. C. Considerate and gifted. D. Humorous and modest. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Catarina Rosa Morais Chato患有先天性心脏病后又患PAH，经治疗坚持工作，她以自身经历鼓励人们热爱生活、永不放弃的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease(她患上了肺动脉高压（PAH），这是一种心脏和肺部的高血压，可能与先天性心脏病有关)”可知，Chato患上肺动脉高压可能与先天性心脏病有关，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. ‘My dream of dancing died that day,’ she says(她的症状包括咳嗽、疲惫、胸痛和头晕，尤其是在爬楼梯的时候。她被告知要停止一切形式的运动，因为体育活动对她的身体太消耗了。‘我的舞蹈梦想在那天破灭了，’她说)”可知，Chato放弃她的梦想是因为身体状况恶化，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, ‘I exceed (超出) my expectations,’ she says.(起初，她觉得长时间站着很累。但多亏了灵活的时间安排，以及学着按照自己的节奏去做，‘我超出了自己的预期，’她说)”可知，Chato是通过改变工作节奏来胜任自己的工作的，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Catarina Rosa Morais Chato had heart surgery when she was just 6 months old to repair a hole in her heart. The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)(Catarina Rosa Morais Chato在6个月大的时候做了心脏手术来修复心脏上的一个洞。手术有效地堵住了这个洞，但四年后，她患上了肺动脉高压（PAH）)”、第三段中“Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born.(在她的诊断之后，她很快开始治疗，以帮助控制她的症状，这使她能够过着相当正常的生活。这包括在她出生的同一家医院担任个人护理助理，帮助护士)”和最后一段中“I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping(我工作，开车，旅行，做家务)”可知，Chato身患顽疾，但她克服挑战正常生活和工作，故她勇敢且坚强，故选A。 C A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins (蛋白质). Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable change that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are extremely important for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein's shape from its amino acid sequence (氨基酸序列) was very difficult and made scientists confused. The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can correctly predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up the progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company's success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence （AI） in various scientific areas, showing that Al can address complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 8. Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. They explained the functions of important body elements. B. They discovered a treatment for Alzheimer's and diabetes. C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 9. Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A. It leads to the development of the diseases. B. It offers insights into the structure of protein. C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug. D. It affects the protein's role in biological processes. 10. What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Decrease. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Ignore. 11. What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A. A new focus on solving biological problems. B. An amazing change in academic research settings. C. An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D. A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI预测和设计蛋白质结构获诺贝尔化学奖。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. (这个奖项被授予了一个使用机器学习解决生物学中一个大问题的团队：预测和设计蛋白质的3D形状。)”可知，该团队使用机器学习程序解决了蛋白质结构的问题。故选C。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Proteins are extremely important for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. (蛋白质对我们的身体至关重要，几乎参与每一个生物过程。蛋白质的形状决定了它的功能。)”可知，蛋白质的形状影响其在生物过程中的作用。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The tech company's success with A-Fold (这家科技公司在A-Fold上的成功)”及“the growing impact of artificial intelligence （Al） in various scientific areas, showing that AI can address complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. (人工智能在各种科学领域日益增长的影响力，表明人工智能可以解决复杂的生物学问题，并为健康和医学领域的关键进步做出贡献。)”可知，A-Fold 的成功凸显了人工智能在各个领域的影响力，因此“underscore”与选项 B意思相近，意为“强调，突出”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what Al can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. (诺贝尔奖委员会颁发这项工作是为了突出结合不同科学领域的重要性，其中技术和生物学相遇并创造出惊人的成果。这一成就不仅展示了人工智能可以做什么，也为未来结合技术与传统研究的科学项目树立了榜样，以解决全球问题。)”可知，作者暗示了未来科学研究的一个可能性是不同领域之间的合作将增加，特别是在技术和生物学交汇的领域。故选C。 D U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there’s growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back. “Social media can feel like a comparison trap (陷阱),” says study author Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University. Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn’t help but compare myself.” Thai says. Reading posts from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self-confidence. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25. all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状) of anxiety or depression — which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits. The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing. “It’s encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks,” psychologist Andrea Graham says. While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression, Graham says it’s worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems. 12. What is the probable meaning of the underlined sentence in para 2? A. Teens are forced to post their own images on social media B. Teens couldn’t help but spend too much time on social media C. Teens tends to compare themselves with others on social media D. Teens are fooled into believing false information on social media 13. How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers? A. By listing numbers B. By giving examples C. By making comparisons D. By analyzing causes and effects 14 What can we learn about the survey? A. The study included people with mental health and eating problems B. There was little difference in appearance score between the two groups C. College students were not willing to reduce screen time for more weeks D. Cutting social media use makes a difference to teens’ opinion of their image 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Less screen time, more self-confidence B. Social media, a time bomb on your health C. How to improve your image on social media D. Concern over social media addiction keeps growing 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现减少社交媒体的使用会让青少年对自己感觉更好，文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及意义。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn’t help but compare myself.” Thai says.(她的研究发现，将每天看屏幕的时间限制在一小时左右，有助于焦虑的青少年和年轻人对自己的身体形象和外表感觉更好。“我在社交媒体上注意到的是，我忍不住拿自己做比较。”Thai说)”可知，后文指出青少年喜欢在社交媒体上和他人比较，故划线句子意思是“青少年倾向于在社交媒体上与他人比较”。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits.(一半的志愿者被要求在三周内将每天使用社交媒体的时间减少到60分钟。另一半继续无限制地使用社交媒体)”以及倒数第二段“The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale.(研究人员在研究开始和结束时对志愿者进行了调查，包括“我对自己的长相很满意”和“我对自己的体重很满意”等陈述。在减少社交媒体使用的小组中，外表的总分从2.95分提高到3.15分（满分为5分）)”可知，Thai和一组研究人员的研究是通过比较进行的。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale.(研究人员在研究开始和结束时对志愿者进行了调查，包括“我对自己的长相很满意”和“我对自己的体重很满意”等陈述。在减少社交媒体使用的小组中，外表的总分从2.95分提高到3.15分（满分为5分）)”可知，减少社交媒体的使用会改变青少年对自己形象的看法。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there’s growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back.(美国青少年每天花在屏幕上的时间超过8小时，这引起了越来越多的关注。现在，美国心理学协会发表的一项新研究证实，青少年在减少屏幕时间的时候似乎感觉更好)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现减少社交媒体的使用会让青少年对自己感觉更好，文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及意义。由此可知，A选项“少看屏幕，更自信”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Vegetarianism(素食主义) is becoming more popular in the UK as many people are choosing to avoid meat and animal products. ___16___ There is even a “National Vegetarian Week” held every year to encourage people to try a meat-free lifestyle.

Movies of course need ______ (impress) images. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】impressive 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：电影当然需要令人印象深刻的画面。此处作定语，修饰名词images，形容词“impressive（令人印象深刻的）”符合题意，故填impressive。 37. Knowing that the kids now have money for school is __________ keeps me going and gives me more energy. （用适当的词填空） 【答案】what 【解析】 【详解】考查连接代词。句意：知道孩子们现在有钱上学是我继续前进的动力，给了我更多的精力。 keeps me going是表语从句，从句中缺少主语，且意义为“……的事物”，所以应该用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。 38. Emotional quotient (EQ), or emotional intelligence quotient, is ________ measurement of the ability to recognise one’s own and other people’s emotions. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】a 【解析】 【详解】考查冠词。句意：EQ，或称情商，是对识别自己和他人情绪能力的一种衡量。名词measurement是可数名词，句中表示“一种……的衡量方式”，且连接辅音音素，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 39. He came to see people ______ a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】as 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：他意识到人类才是鲨鱼的威胁,而鲨鱼并非人类的敌人。短语see sth as...“视某物为......”符合句意，故填as。 40.

I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is _________ (probable) why I was so mad when we lost our last match.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】probably 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：我很喜欢篮球，也很擅长，这可能就是为什么我们输掉了最后一场比赛时我很生气的原因。根据所给句子可知，这里需要使用副词修饰动词is，probable“可能的”副词形式为“probably”。故填probably。 42. I think digging wells for drinking water is a good way to solve the problem of water ________ (short). （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】shortage 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：我认为挖井取水是解决水资源短缺问题的好方法。本空作介词of的宾语，需用名词shortage“短缺”，不可数。故填shortage。 43. ________ (approach) in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired. (所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】Approached 【解析】 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：用这种方法，你的友谊很快就会修复的。动词approach意为“处理”，和谓语动词之间没有连词，和主语friendship构成被动关系，此处是指用这种方法处理后，所以是指动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作状语。句首首字母应大写。故填Approached。 44. Finning is a type of fishing ________ sharks are caught and their fins cut off. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：割鳍是一种捕鱼方式，鲨鱼被捕获后，鱼鳍被切掉。在定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语，且先行词为“a type of fishing”，此处理解为一种抽象地点，所以应用关系副词where。故填where。 45. After repeating this process a few times, they eventually found the ideal distance where they could feel warm while ________ (manage) not to hurt each other. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】managing 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：在重复这个过程几次后，他们最终找到了理想的距离，既能感到温暖，又能避免伤害彼此。manage“设法做到”。当状语从句的主语与主句主语一致，且从句包含be动词时，可省略从句的主语和be动词。while引导的时间状语从句的完整形式为：while they were_____ (manage) not to hurt each other，从句描述过去正在发生的动作，时态用过去进行时，本空用managing。故填managing。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分25分） 46. 假设你是李华，你的英国朋友Joe将要来中国做交换生，他发来电子邮件说他担心因为文化差异，会和新同学相处不好，请你给他回复一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.表示理解； 2.提出建议。 注意：1.写作词数应为100左右；2.为使行文连贯，可以适当增加细节。 Dear Joe, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Joe, I’m thrilled to hear that you’ll come to China as an exchange student!

This year, Scotty, captain of Team Panda, insisted we pick sticks to decide which team we would join. At the beginning, we hoped we’d be on the same team again. But to our disappointment. Ollie had picked a short stick for Team Grizzly, while I picked a long stick for Team Panda. My heart sank as I realized things were going to be different. At lunchtime, I sat with Ollie at the same table as usual. “What are you doing? Having lunch with our enemy is not OK!” claimed a girl on my team. Only then did I realize there was not invisible dividing line. All of the Grizzlies sat together, and all of the Pandas sat together. I had no other choice but to say goodbye to Ollie and focus on my lunch. That night, I could hardly fall asleep. I was wondering if being a good team member meant I was supposed to put aside my friendship with Ollie. It didn’t seem fun to treat my best friend as an enemy. I woke up with zero energy for our first competition the next morning. We each had two tries to race through an obstacle course. My first try was a disaster! I did OK with the monkey bars, the tunnel, and the slide. But when I did the rope swing over the sandpit (沙坑), I was too slow and got stuck in the middle. I felt pretty discouraged. When I finished the course, Ollie came over. He patted me on the shoulder and said in an encouraging voice, “It doesn’t matter. You made it last year. I know you can make your second run a better one.” How come he cheered me on, “the enemy”? I raised my head and stared into his eyes with confusion. “You are my best friend! You will be the best!” His words made me realize that being on the competing team shouldn’t get in the way of our friendship. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On my second obstacle course, Ollie stood up for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On my second obstacle course, Ollie stood up for me. “Come on! You can do it!” He shouted, with his arms waving firmly in the air. His voice clearing my doubt, I became more determined. After the monkey bars, the tunnel, and the slide, I did the rope swing over the sandpit smoothly and beautifully. I made it, ending up with the fastest time! Both teams erupted into cheers and thunderous applause! So excited was Ollie that he rushed to me and hugged me tightly, grinning. The invisible line seemed to have disappeared as others followed. It was at that time that I decided not to take the “enemy” comments too seriously.

The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease — and for which there is no cure. Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. “My dream of dancing died that day,” she says, adding that she felt lonely when she couldn’t join her friends on the sports field. Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born. At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, “I exceed (超出) my expectations,” she says. She’s also found love: “My fiance, Tiago, has always supported me. He comes with me to cardiology visits, reminds me to take my medication and does things like carry the shopping bag for me.” Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Chato feels pride. “Despite all the sad times I have been through, I am alive. I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping, I get to watch my nephews grow up,” she says. “25 years ago there was not as much hope for people with PAH. My advice to anyone is: Be happy, enjoy every minute of your life and don’t give up.” 4. What caused Chato to develop PAH? A. The failed operation. B. Her lack of exercise. C. Her heart condition. D. The lung infection. 5. Why did Chato give up her dream? A. She was unwilling to see others. B. Her interest in dancing was reduced. C. She had to receive treatment. D. Her physical state worsened. 6. How did Chato manage her work? A. By getting extra breaks. B. By changing work pace. C. By asking others for help. D. By showing more patience. 7. Which words can best describe Chato? A. Courageous and tough. B. Energetic and talkative. C. Considerate and gifted. D. Humorous and modest. C A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins (蛋白质). Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable change that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are extremely important for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein's shape from its amino acid sequence (氨基酸序列) was very difficult and made scientists confused. The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can correctly predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up the progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company's success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence （AI） in various scientific areas, showing that Al can address complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 8. Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. They explained the functions of important body elements. B. They discovered a treatment for Alzheimer's and diabetes. C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 9. Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A. It leads to the development of the diseases. B. It offers insights into the structure of protein. C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug. D. It affects the protein's role in biological processes. 10. What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Decrease. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Ignore. 11. What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A. A new focus on solving biological problems. B. An amazing change in academic research settings. C. An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D. A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. D U. S. teens spend more than eight hours a day on screens, and there’s growing concern over it. Now, a new study published by the American Psychological (心理的) Association, confirms that teens seem to feel better about themselves when they cut back. “Social media can feel like a comparison trap (陷阱),” says study author Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University. Her research found that limiting screen time to about one hour a day helped anxious teens and young adults feel better about their body image and their appearance. “What I noticed in social media was that I couldn’t help but compare myself.” Thai says. Reading posts from famous people and influencers, as well as people in her own social network, led to a lack of self-confidence. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reducing time on social media would improve body image. They gathered a few hundred volunteers, aged 17-25. all of whom had experienced symptoms (症状) of anxiety or depression — which could make them easily influenced by social media. Half of the volunteers were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media with no limits. The researchers gave the volunteers surveys at the beginning and end of the study, including statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.” Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5-point scale. The change may seem small, but any change in such a short period of time is worth noticing. “It’s encouraging that college students were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks,” psychologist Andrea Graham says. While this study included people with symptoms of anxiety or depression, Graham says it’s worth applying this approach to other groups, such as people with eating problems. 12. What is the probable meaning of the underlined sentence in para 2? A. Teens are forced to post their own images on social media B. Teens couldn’t help but spend too much time on social media C. Teens tends to compare themselves with others on social media D. Teens are fooled into believing false information on social media 13. How was the research conducted by Thai and a team of researchers? A. By listing numbers B. By giving examples C. By making comparisons D. By analyzing causes and effects 14. What can we learn about the survey? A. The study included people with mental health and eating problems B. There was little difference in appearance score between the two groups C.

This year, Scotty, captain of Team Panda, insisted we pick sticks to decide which team we would join. At the beginning we hoped we’d be on the same team again. But to our disappointment. Ollie had picked a short stick for Team Grizzly, while I picked a long stick for Team Panda. My heart sank as I realized things were going to be different. At lunchtime, I sat with Ollie at the same table as usual. “What are you doing? Having lunch with our enemy is not OK!” claimed a girl on my team. Only then did I realize there was not invisible dividing line. All of the Grizzlies sat together, and all of the Pandas sat together. I had no other choice but to say goodbye to Ollie and focus on my lunch. That night, I could hardly fall asleep. I was wondering if being a good team member meant I was supposed to put aside my friendship with Ollie. It didn’t seem fun to treat my best friend as an enemy. I woke up with zero energy for our first competition the next morning. We each had two tries to race through an obstacle course. My first try was a disaster! I did OK with the monkey bars, the tunnel, and the slide. But when I did the rope swing over the sandpit (沙坑), I was too slow and got stuck in the middle. I felt pretty discouraged. When I finished the course, Ollie came over. He patted me on the shoulder and said in an encouraging voice, “It doesn’t matter. You made it last year. I know you can make your second run a better one.” How come he cheered me on, “the enemy”? I raised my head and stared into his eyes with confusion. “You are my best friend! You will be the best!” His words made me realize that being on the competing team shouldn’t get in the way of our friendship. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On my second obstacle course, Ollie stood up for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
