Initially,the socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the user maximizes their performance, and reducesamage to body and preventsrhurt.The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed like normal clothes. Sensors record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter(脚踝发射器) to a smart phone.Then a "virtual coach"application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong,and help to improve skill in any task with feet. The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is petty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf,or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels. Mr.Vigano said,"People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest 第3页扎10页 from all sorts of sports,like skiing,football,cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.” Socks are just the start,and the technology could be used in gloves,hats and boots.The socks,anklet and software package,are expected to be sold for around f120,which will go on sale in March. 24.What does the underlined part"anyone with two left feet"refer to in paragraph 1? A.People who are disabled. B.People who are poor at dancing. C.People who are good at dancing. D.People who do not like dancing. 25.Why were smart socks developed in the beginning? A.To improve runners'performance. B.To teach people to dance. C.To help women walk safely. D.To record dance movement. 26.What's special about fibers that the socks are'made of A.They feel much softer than normal clothes. B.They can monitor the movement of feet. C.They should be washed in a special washing machine. D.They are expensive to produce. 27.What can be inferred from the text? A Only professional athletes can benefit from the technology. B.The technology has been widely used in every sport. C.All people can run safely and well thanks to the socks. D.The technology could bring a potential market. C About ten years ago,logging into Facebook,Twitter,or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted.Today,these platforms present a mix of content,tailored by algorithms to match users' interests,whether it's plants,sports,cats,or politics. Kvle Chayka,a writer tor The New Yorker,discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld.He explains that algorithms analyze aser data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with.This means that instead of a simple,chronological (按时间顺序的)feed,users encounter a dynamic stream,constantly adapting to their preferences.Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume,from music and movies to food and travel destinations.He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers,making our preferences and tastes more similar. Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we're unlikely to click away from but won't find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content,subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors. Moreover,Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators,like musicians and artists,to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms.For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener's attention. Despite the strong presence of these algorithms,Chayka believes tmat regulation could reduce their influence.He suggests that if Meta,the parent company of 第4页共10页 Facebook,were required to separate its various services,like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other,it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption. In summary,the change from simple,time-ordered social media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see,hear,and even think.Chayka's insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world. 28.According to the text,how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years? A.They show posts in a time-based order. B.They prioritize posts from friends and family. C They make adjustments to satisfy users'needs D.They provide more content to meet different needs. 29.What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations? A.They make users more active consumers. B.They shape users'preferences and behaviors. C They reduce the influence of content creators. D.They expose users to diverse and challenging content. 30.How do algorithms influencermusicians'work on digital platforms? A.By encouraging musicians to create longer songs. B.By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks. C.By giving musicians more control and choice over their music. D.By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms. 31.Which is the best title for the passage? A.The History of Social Media Development B.How Algorithms Control What We See and Create C.The Many Benefits of Personalized Content D.The Reasons Why People Prefer Chronological Feeds D A demonstration mission to test an idea of cleaning up space junk was launched this morning in Kazakhstan.Known as ELSA-D,the mission will exhibit technology that can help deal with space junk.The spacecraft works by attempting to attach itself to dead satellites and pushing them toward the Earth to burn up in the atmosphere. ELSA-D,which stands for End-of-life Services by Astroscafe,wilt be carried out bya“servicer spacecraft'”anda“client satellite”that are launched together,according to Astroscale,spacecraft will release and try to meet with the client satellite,which will act as a piece of space junk. The mission will carry out this catch-and-release process repeatedly over the course of six months.Thg goal is to prove the servicer's ability to track down and dock with its target in varying leyels of complexity.However,the spacecraft is not designed to deal with dead satellites already in orbit,but rathe ruture satellites that would be launehed with aocking plates(对接板)on them. Space junk has been a growing problem for years.According to a recent report by NASA,at least 26,000 of the millions of pieces of space junk are the size of a softball.Orbiting along at 17,500mph,they could destroy a satellite.And the most 第5页共10页 common space junk,more than 100 million pieces,is the size of a grain of salt and could make holes in a spacesuit,amplifymng risk to spacecraft and crew. The development of other cleanup technologies has been underway for years.In 2016,Japan's space agency sent a 700-meter chain into space to try to slow down and redirect space junk.In 2018,a device called RemoveDebris successfully cast a net around a large piece of space junk.These efforts could prove increasingly important as private space projects like SpaceX comtinue te fill low Earth orbit in a messy way. 32.How will the servicer spacecraft function? A.By breaking space junk into pieces. B.By pushing space junk towards the Earth. C.By adding docking plates to client satellites. D.By drawing dead satellites away from the Earth. 33.What kind of space junk will the servicer mainly deal with? A.Dead satellites in orbit. B.Large pieces of space junk. C.Satellites to be launched with docking plates. D.Space junk around working satellites in a messy way. 34.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "amplifying"in paragraph 4? A.increasing B.removing C.examining D.transporting 35.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Space research is becoming important. B.The function of artificial satellites is various. C.It's necessary to conduct the clear-up mission. D.SpaceX plays an important role in sending satellites. E After completing my first year of studies,I decided to relax by taking a trip through one of the most richly cultured countries in Asia:Nepal. The first thing I noticed about Nepal was its people.Kind and friendly,ready to help someone in need.I'm saying so because of what I've witnessed between the citizens themselves,rather than how they treated me as a visitor.It is shown in the way bus conductors and passengers alike keep the bus waiting for that last passenger who is lagging behind ()It is evident in how a motorist smiles and waves off a kid who runs onto the street after his ball.The people are like a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day. The first place I visited in Nepal was the Sauraha village in the district of Chitwan.It is an amazingly peaceful place,where the people live life at their own pace.It is a great area to see some of the wildlife,such as rhinos and elephants.The capital city of Kathmandu was where I spent most of my time.The city is usually very dusty,so make sure to wear a mask.Another great area in Kathmandu is the district of Thamel.Unlike most other districts,Thamel is very busy throughout the day.Out of all the places I've been to within Nepal,Pokhara is undoubtedly the best place to visit. There are a lot of fun things to try out.I've gone paragliding as well as boating in 第6页共10页 Fewa Lake,but you can also go rafting,zip flying and paramotoring. Nepal is a very affordable destination to travel to.I travelled through the country for about two months and spent a little over 500 US dollars.Accommodation around Nepal is inexpensive,mostly varying from about 500 to 1,500 rupees per night per person.During my stay in Kathmana,I stayed at a great hotel for two weeks,for 300 rupees per night,which is a greaudeal. In a word,Nepal is a fantastic place.Whether you are looking to relax in the wildness and peace of nature,or for an exciting new adventure,Nepal has a variety of choices to offer. 36.Why does the author mention bus conductors in paragraph 2? A.To thank them for all their hard work. B.To introduce Nepal's public transportation. C.To explain Nepalese people's sense of time. D.To show the friendliness of Nepalese people 37.What do we know about the Sauraha village? A.It has a fast pace of life. B.It is home to many wild animals. C.It offers visitors a lot of activities.

To practice experiential appreciation,you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects.They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you're studying,making learning active and meaningful.So,try joining a sports team,picking up a paintbrush,or taking part in a local charity event.41 As you dive deeper,immerse yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you're in nature,don't just look around.42 Touching the leaves,feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable. 43 After trying something new,ask yourself what you learned and how it 第7页共10页 made you feel.Write in a journal or discuss it with friends.This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured.44So,explore the world around you,let every experience shape you,and discover the endless possibilities that await.This is the core of true learning,where every moment is a step towards a richer,more enlightened life. A These activities bring learning to life. B It extends learning far beyond textbooks. C.Take your experiences further by reflecting on them. D.Mind the impact of your actions on the environment. E.Instead,activate your senses for a stronger tie with it. F.Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles. G.Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating. 第三部分语言运用（供三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 When I was 45,the factory I worked at closed down.To continue to 45my family,I worked as a porter in my home town for 10 years.I carried refrigerators from warehouses to electrical appliance shops,sometimes 46them to customers' homes.I worked 10 hours a day,but that labour-intensive job didn't stop me 47 I would go for a run every day,carrying two buckets to a place where I could 48 water from a mountain spring.It's a win-win-I got better quality water while also keeping 49 I retired 15 years ago and life has been 50.I'm enjoying my life and the beautiful landscapes around.Sometimes,I went up the mountain on all fours.Just 51 the stairs was too easy for me,so one day I decided to challenge myself by 52.an animal's movements-I went up the mountain on all fours,like a frog jumping.It 53 many muscles in my body.I uploaded my workout videos on TikTok,and they got many 54A local media wrote a(n)55 about me and then it went viral(走红).
