A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian-American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 41. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture? A. One of her sleepover experiences. B. One elective she took at college. C. The process of learning baking from her friend. D. A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences. 42. The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean _________. A. get rid of B. put up with C. express in words D. stay focused 43 What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage? A. To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii. B. To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies. C. To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians. D. To explain why Cho is interested in political activists. 44. What approach does Cho recommend to make a difference? A. Making use of your passion. B. Turning to political figures for help C. Trying to do something creative and special. D. Asking people around to work along with you. 45. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Think outside the box to break new ground. B. Spread something original to one’s heart content. C. Hold your horses for a better self. D. Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one. C If there’s one rule that most parents cling to in the confusing, fast-changing world of kids and media, it’s “No screens before age 2.” As of today, that rule has been thrown out the window. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which first issued that recommendation back in 1999, has extensively updated and revised its guidelines for children and adolescents to reflect new research and new habits. The new guidelines, especially for very young children, shift the focus from WHAT is on the screen to WHO else is in the room. And in doing so, they raise some intriguing points about the future of learning from media. For babies younger than 18 months, AAP still says no screens at all are the best idea—with one notable exception: Live video chat. Surveys indicate that families already popularly believe that “ Face time doesn’t count”, or at least that the benefit of virtual visits with grandparents or other relatives outweighs the potential cost of exposing babies to the laptop or smartphone. The AAP doesn’t cite positive evidence that infants actually get something out of this kind of “ conversation”, the way that they clearly do from live social interaction. But there’s some observational research that infants as young as six months old are emotionally engaged by playing live peekaboo (躲猫猫游戏) with Grandma online. For infants and toddlers (学步儿童), ages 15 months to 2 years old, there’s limited evidence from a couple of very small studies that they can learn new words from educational media, if and only if parents are watching alongside them, repeating what the video says and/ or drawing attention to what is on the screen. In other words, treating a video or an app like a picture book is the best bet. The flip side of this is that many studies have actually shown poorer language skills correlated with earlier solo viewing of “educational” videos. There’s also research that shows language delays in children who watch more TV and start watching earlier. In both cases, the problem seems to be media replacing interaction with people. For this reason, the new AAP guideline has changed from “avoid all screens under age 2” to “ avoid solo media use in this age group.” For preschoolers ages 2 to 5, there’s more evidence that they have the ability to transfer knowledge from screens to the real world, including early literacy and math. For this age group, AAP recommends no more than an hour a day of screen use. And, just as with younger children, they want care-givers to take part in screen time: “Co-view with your children, help children understand what they are seeing, and help them apply what they learn to the world around them.” 46. What do we learn about the “No screens under 2” rule? A. It has met more and more resistance from parents. B. It has proved helpful to children’s healthy growth. C. It confuses parents with regard to kids’ education. D. It has been abandoned in line with recent research. 47. What do the new AAP guidelines advocate? A. Young children should be accompanied by parents during screen time. B. Parents should be emotionally involved in their children’s upbringing. C. Young children should watch videos carefully selected by parents. D. Parents should protect their children from too much media exposure. 48. What do families think of live video chat according to surveys? A. It should not be regarded as screen time. B. It helps babies to develop their verbal skills. C. It is not as harmful as playing games on laptops. D. It is a good substitute for video viewing. 49. What do researches find about kids solo viewing educational videos? A. It arouses their interest in language learning. B. It works no better than reading picture books. C. It prevents their development of language skills. D. It helps them acquire independent learning skills. 50. What does the author say about preschoolers ages 2 to 5? A. They can understand pretty well what they see on the screen. B. They can learn on their own without much parental guidance. C. They can make use of educational videos to develop digital literacy. D. They can relate what they learn on the screen to real life situations. D Anybody can write. I believe it as much as I believe that nobody is boring. Are people writing more? I believe so. There is a lot of writing going on. All kinds of writing — amateur writing, professional writing, creative writing, boring writing, etc. Enthusiastic reader is hardly a thing anymore. Storyteller, published author and productive blogger are words that decorate people’s bio more often. The trend of listing what one is reading has been replaced by listing self-authored articles. Reading is unavoidable. Reading generates the road map for a society’s progress. But then why write? The most substantial reason could be ease of Expression, Record, and Reach. Enabled by present-day technology, the ease of Record (digitally saved forever) and Reach (to readers anywhere in the world) are undoubtedly the more straightforward motivations to write. But ease of Expression? We perhaps partly owe that to technology too. The social shaping (e. g. messaging behaviors) caused by technology has resulted in the breakdown of structures and rules of writing to a great extent, if not entirely, thus freeing up the technique of writing like music and art. Consequently, writing in all forms (short-long), structures (words-graphics-sound), and shapes (books-blogs-posts-tweets-open letters) has appeared like a movement. Writing is a promise, It is a promise to deliver not just pleasure, information, or inspiration; it is a promise to care. Writing can be intrusive (侵扰的). It can even be rude, as Joan Didion puts it in her essay Why I Write. The readers are the victims of the writer’s thoughts and views. But that’s how writers challenge the readers to think, look around and push back. Even after we have managed to ease the disciplinary demands of good literature, it still wouldn’t take the pain away from writing because thinking is the pain point of writing. We have to make things up or think about things we see. One could be as local, raw, and not remain preoccupied with presenting a stylized piece of sentence and still find a platform to write. But let us ensure we don’t ever give up thinking and never make writing completely painless. 51. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. Writing has become more popular. B. People no longer enjoy reading books. C. Readers are uninterested in others’ reading lists. D. Listing self-authored articles is a new form of social networking. 52. How has technology influenced writing? A. It has made writing more structured and formal. B It has strengthened the bonds between writing and art. C. It has made writing more accessible and diverse. D. It has decreased the number of professional writers. 53. What is the ultimate purpose of writing according to Joan Didion? A. To entertain and amuse readers. B. To deliver the latest information. C. To impress readers with literary skills. D. To inspire readers to form new thoughts. 54. What does the author expect of writing? A. The challenges of thinking should be valued. B. There will be various platforms to choose from. C. There will be more works focusing on pain in life. D. The disciplinary demands of good literature will stay. 55. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. The relationship between reading and writing. B. The influence of technology on writing. C. The various forms and trends of modern writing. D. The reasons and nature of writing in modern society. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the 1880s, long before she became her era’s greatest female explorer, eight-year-old Harriet Chalmers traveled through the Sierra Nevada on horseback with her father. When she was 24, Chalmers married Franklin Pierce Adams, and they set off for Latin America, where they covered 40,000 miles on a horse, by boat and on foot. When they returned nearly three years later, she gave a lecture at National Geographic and launched a 30-year career as a contributor. Adams made it her mission to visit every country that was or had been a Spanish colony, and revisited the places where Christopher Columbus had stayed from Europe to the Americas. She traveled around Asia and attended Haile Selassie’s coronation (加冕礼)as the emperor of Ethiopia. During World War I, she was the first female journalist allowed to photograph the French trenches (战壕), where she stayed for months. She wrote 21 articles detailing her experiences for National Geographic, more than any other woman published in the magazine’s first half-century. In those pieces, she criticized the injustices that she’d observed. “Where were the blessings the Europeans claimed they brought to millions of Latin Americans? I could barely find them,” she wrote after a visit to Peru. “What have they not suffered under the control of the Europeans?” Adams had no professional training as a geographer and had never been to college, but her color photo slides and adventurous travel style won her invitations to speak around the world, often from organizations that had never invited a woman in before. She was the third American woman asked to join the Royal Geographical Society in England. However, the New York-based Explorers Club gave her and other outstanding female adventurers the cold shoulder. “Men have always been so afraid that some mere woman might get into their panels of discussion that they don’t even permit women in their clubhouses,” Adams once said, “much less allow them to attend any meetings for discussions that might be significantly helpful.” Several female explorers decided to form their own club. In 1925 the Society of Woman Geographers launched with Adams as president. She served until moving to France in 1933, where she died four years later at 61. 56. What did Adams do during the first three years of her marriage? (no more than 8 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 57. What was Adams allowed to do during the World War I? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________ 58.

Among all the precious memories of high school, I especially want to thank my English teacher, Ms. Wang. She never gave up on me when I struggled with speaking. Every lunch break, she patiently guided me through pronunciation drills and encouraged me to join class debates. Her belief in me turned my fear into confidence. This gratitude isn’t just about the past. It taught me that kindness and perseverance can change lives. As I step into the future, I’ll carry her lesson: to lift others up when they stumble, just as she lifted me. Thank you, Ms. Wang, and thank you all for three unforgettable years. Thank you! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
