A few minutes later, when I saw the other girls running ahead of me, I felt very ashamed as I fell farther and farther behind. “Hooray!” shouted the crowd. It was the ____15____ cheer I had ever heard at a meeting. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finishing line. “Maybe I should drop out.” I thought as I moved on along the track. However, I made up my mind to keep running. For the last two laps in the race, I ran in ____16____ and decided not to take part in the race next year. “It won’t be worth even if my foot has healed.” I thought.
When I got to the finishing line, I heard another cheer louder than the one I’d heard earlier. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. I said to myself, “They must be cheering for the boys.”
I was leaving ____17____ when several girls came up to me. “Wow, you’ve got courage!” one of them told me. “Courage? I’ve just lost a race!” I thought. “I would have ____18____ up on the first lap if I were you.” said one girl. “All of us were cheering for you. Did you hear us?” After hearing these words, I suddenly regained (重新获得)____19____. I decided to stick with track next year.

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者带伤参加学校运动会3000米长跑,过程中因落后而想放弃,但最终坚持跑完,后经女孩们的鼓励,领悟到力量和勇气并非由奖牌和胜利衡量,而是看能否克服困难,最强的人不是总获胜的人,而是失败后不放弃的人。
【13题详解】
句意:我曾怀疑自己是否应该参加这场运动会。
imagined想象;suggested建议;doubted怀疑;expected预料。根据前文“My foot still hadn’t healed from earlier injury.”可知,作者的脚伤未愈,所以对于是否参加运动会是“怀疑”的态度。故选C。
【14题详解】
句意:“各就各位……预备……”,发令枪响,我们都冲了出去。
rushed冲;jumped跳;got得到;took拿。根据“the gun popped”和常识可知, 比赛听到枪响后,大家是“冲出去”,“rush off ”意为“冲出去;急忙离开”。故选A。
【15题详解】
句意:这是我在运动会上听到过的最响亮的欢呼声。
worst最差的;arliest最早的;loudest最响亮的;shortest最短的。根据后文“when I got to the finishing line, I heard another cheer: louder than the one I’d heard earlier.”可知,这里说的欢呼声是“最响亮的”。故选C。
【16题详解】
句意:在比赛的最后两圈,我疼痛地奔跑着,还决定明年不再参加这个比赛了。
order顺序;pain疼痛;fear害怕;surprise惊讶。前文提到作者脚受伤没痊愈,所以跑步时是“疼痛地” 跑。故选B。
【17题详解】
句意:我正默默地离开时,几个女孩向我走来。
proudly自豪地;nervously紧张地;pleasantly愉快地; silently默默地。根据“The first-place runner was two laps ahead of me when she crossed the finishing line.”和“I said to myself, ‘They must be cheering for the boys.’”可知,作者觉得自己比赛表现不好,心情低落,所以是“默默地”离开。故选D。
【18题详解】
句意:一个女孩说“如果我是你,第一圈就会放弃了”。
given放弃;caught抓住;cheered欢呼;speeded加速。根据“if I were you”和前后语境可知,作者带伤却坚持跑完比赛,女孩们在安慰鼓励作者,用虚拟语气表示如果是自己参加比赛早就放弃了,“give up”意为 “放弃”符合语境,“would have”后加动词过去分词 ,“give”的过去分词为“given”。故选A。
【19题详解】
句意:听到这些话后,我突然重新获得了希望。
interest兴趣;hope希望;experience经验;opportunity机会。根据“I decided to stick with track next year.”可知,女孩们的鼓励让作者重新获得“希望”。故选B。
【20题详解】
句意:最强大的人并不总是那些获胜的人,而是那些失败时不放弃的人。
argue争论;win获胜;challenge挑战;complain抱怨。根据“but the people who don’t give up when they fail.”可知,设空处单词应和“fail”相对, 意思是最强的人不总是那些“获胜”的人。故选B。

My Dad, a Superhero
When I was only seven, my family took a road trip to San Francisco. My father was driving our family car along the highway. The rain was pouring down so heavily that each drop of rain felt as if it were going to break the windshield (挡风玻璃).
I wasn’t scared. The downpour fascinated me. However, my brother, who is only one year younger than me, was annoying me with his unfriendly hits. I tried hard to stop him but failed. I could only complain to Mom and our sister about the fighting in the backseat, but it was useless.
My father, who was driving, knew the way to stop us from fighting. So he said, “Boys, do you know that I have learned magic?”
My brother and I stopped immediately. “What?”
My father replied, “Do you want me to show you some magic?”
I felt so excited that I jumped out of my seat. Even my brother was curious about what Dad was saying. It was every child’s dream to have a superhero father.
“I have the ability to stop the rain from falling. It’s only for short periods of time, so you have to pay close attention,” he said.
I was speechless. This seemed to be an impossible trick, even for a superhero. I could only stare at him through the rearview mirror (后视镜), wondering if the magic could really stop the rain.
“Are you ready?” he asked “Yes!” we both answered.
“Okay. Let me collect my powers.” There was a short pause. “Okay. First, I have to say the magic words ‘Abra Cadabra’. Here we go ... Abra Cadabra!”
And just like that, for one second, the rain stopped! It was a miracle! I was shocked. My dad really was a superhero. How could I not have known? For years, he must have hidden his magical weapons in the garage. I bet his old car was just a cover so that the bad guys wouldn’t know who he really was.
“Wow!” I said to my brother, who seemed to be just as amazed as I was. “Wow...” was all he could say, too.
Then our car drove under another overpass.
24. Who was fighting with the writer on the trip to San Francisco?
A. His brother. B. His father. C. His mother. D. His sister.
25. When the father wanted to show some magic, the boys were ________.
A. relaxed and amazed B. excited and curious C. scared but surprised D. angry but worried
26 What might happen next according to the end of the story?
A. The mother might be angry with the father.
B. The bad guys might know who the father really was.
C. The boys might know the truth of their father’s magic.
D. The family might find some magical weapons in the garage.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【分析】文章叙述了作者7岁时,作者一家人去了旧金山旅行时,路途中下起了大雨,作者和他的弟弟在车内的打斗,为了阻止兄弟俩的打闹,作者的父亲给他们变“魔法”让雨停止一秒钟,这让作者和他的兄弟都认为他们的父亲是超人。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“However, my brother…I tried hard to stop him but failed. I could only complain to Mom and our sister about the fighting in the backseat”可知,作者和他的弟弟打架,故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I felt so excited that I jumped out of my seat. Even my brother was curious about what Dad was saying.”可知,当爸爸要变魔法的时候,作者很兴奋,他的弟弟很好奇,故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Then our car drove under another overpass.”可知,是因为父亲的车开到了高架桥下面,雨被挡住了,所以才会出现父亲所谓的魔法,现在车子又开到另一座高架桥下,孩子们最后应该会明白雨为什么会停顿,会知道他们父亲魔法的真相。故选C。
C
If you’re missing an amazing party for your aunt’s birthday that you promised your mum you would attend you’ll probably get “FOMO” — the fear of missing out.
It’s impossible to attend every social event in the calendar, but sometimes it really annoys you when you have prior (先前的) engagements (约定) and you know you’re missing out on something great.
But some people feel the opposite. Rather than feeling FOMO, they take joy in missing out. They don’t feel the need to attend everything, and instead find comfort in either sticking to their original plans or staying at home alone.
In a blog post, Kristen Fuller said “JOMO” is basically the emotionally intelligent antidote to “FOMO” and it is “about being present and being satisfied with where you are in life”. Some people are born with it, others learn to accept it.
Here are the different ways JOMO can show itself:
①Living in the moment
If you constantly worry about missing out on something, you cannot enjoy yourself wherever you are. This isn’t a healthy way to live your life, and Fuller wrote that you shouldn’t compare yourself to other people’s lives or experiences.
“JOMO allows us to be who we are in the present moment, which is the secret to finding happiness,” she said. “When you free up that competitive and anxious space in your brain, you have so much more time, energy and emotion to realize your true priorities (首要事情). ”
② Switching off
In an article, writer Justin Bariso discovered JOMO after he published his first book. He found it hard to switch off, worrying that his editor would contact him for rewrites, or he would miss an important email. It wasn’t until he was abroad with his family and his daughter asked him to play that he thought: “What am I doing?”
“Did I really want to go to Starbucks to sit in front of my computer, responding to emails from people I barely know, when instead I could be spending time with my family on a beautiful beach?” he wrote.
③Enjoying your own company
Some people are simply born with the ability to switch off, and not worry about what they could be missing out on. For them, being alone is important, and it doesn’t matter if they’re missing out on the party of the year.
Others don’t necessarily need the space on a biological level, but they don’t feel the need to compare their lives to others. These are the people who aren’t involved in social media, and find joy in what they have, rather than focusing on what they don’t.
27. Which of the following proves that you feel JOMO?
A. You cancel your original appointment and attend a party later.
B. You always work hard in order to create a better future for your family.
C. You spare a day for yourself every week to do some reading and writing.
D. You constantly check your emails to make sure you keep up with your work.
28. What does the underlined word “antidote” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. A requirement to improve the situation. B. A way to take away the bad effects of something.
C. An experiment to test the effect of something. D. A method to keep a balance between two things.
29. Which is the best title of this article?
A. Differences between FOMO and JOMO B. Your Choice: FOMO or JOMO
C. JOMO: A Way to Deal with Fear D. JOMO: Find Happiness in Not Being Involved
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了JOMO的含义,即享受当下,对自己目前的生活状态感到满足,并探讨了JOMO在不同人身上的表现方式,包括活在当下、关闭外界干扰以及享受独处等。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They don’t feel the need to attend everything, and instead find comfort in either sticking to their original plans or staying at home alone.”以及“Here are the different ways JOMO can show itself: ①Living in the moment...③Enjoying your own company”可知,JOMO表现为坚持自己的原计划或独自在家里,享受当下和独处。选项C“你每周为自己留出一天时间来阅读和写作”符合JOMO的表现,即享受独处和专注于自己的事情。故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“In a blog post, Kristen Fuller said ‘JOMO’ is basically the emotionally intelligent antidote to ‘FOMO’ and it is ‘about being present and being satisfied with where you are in life’.”可知,Kristen Fuller在博客中写道,“JOMO”基本上是情感上聪明的“FOMO”的“antidote”,它是“关于活在当下,并对自己目前的生活状态感到满足”。由此可以推断,“antidote”在这里的意思是“消除某种不良影响的方法”,即JOMO是消除FOMO带来的不良影响的方法。故选B。
【29题详解】
最佳标题题。文章主要讨论了JOMO这一概念,并探讨了JOMO在不同人身上的表现方式以及它如何帮助人们找到幸福。选项D“JOMO:在不参与中找到快乐”最能概括文章的主旨,即JOMO是一种在不参与某些社交活动时也能找到快乐的方式。故选D。
D
We are in the midst of (处于……之中) a battle for our attention. Our devices have affected our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate. Journalist Johann Hair’s new book, Stolen Focus, has just joined the voices complaining about the great influence of the digital age. His and other recent books reflect a public idea that our focus is under attack.
Indeed, in our new research, we found some clear concerns. We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2, 093 UK adults last year. Half of those surveyed felt their attention spans were shorter than they used to be, compared with a quarter who didn’t. And three quarters of participants agreed we’re living through a time when there’s non-stop competition for our attention between a variety of media channels and information outlets (渠道).
There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that’s social media or the cheap paperback sensation (煽情) novels of the 19th century. Even as far back as ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates complained that the written words created “forgetfulness in our souls.” There has always been a tendency to fear the effects that new media and technologies will have on our minds.
The reality is that we simply don’t have long-term studies that tell us whether our attention spans have actually shrunk (缩短). What we do know from our study is that people overestimate (高估) some of the problems. There’s no such thing as an average attention span. Our ability to focus varies hugely depending on the individual and the task at hand.
It’s also important not to ignore the many benefits that technology brings to our life. Much of the public surveyed recognized these, so while half thought big tech and social media were ruining young people’s attention spans, roughly another half felt that being easily distracted was more to do with people’s personalities than any negative influence that technology may or may not have. Also, half of the public believed multitasking at work and switching frequently between emails, phone calls, and other tasks can create a more efficient and satisfactory work experience.
30. What can we know about some of the participants in the new research?
A. They were frequently disturbed by digital devices.
B. They felt it hard to acquire useful information online.
C. They had shorter attention spans than average people.
D. They felt challenged by fierce competition from others.
31. Why does the author mention Socrates in Paragraph 3?
A. To stress new cultural forms have limitations.
B. To show worry about attention is an age-old problem.
C To prove the important role he played in literary history.
D. To explain cultural differences between the past and the present.
32. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People tend to overestimate their abilities.
B. Digital distractions might have potential benefits.
C. Technology’s benefits have been largely ignored.
D. Switching between different tasks frequently is difficult.
33. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Digital devices can benefit our work. B. We should say “No” to digital devices.
C. Digital distractions really affect us so much. D. We should think highly of new cultural forms.
【答案】30. A 31. B 32. B 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨数字时代对人类注意力造成的影响。通过调查数据、历史案例和辩证分析,文章指出公众普遍担忧注意力危机,但实际缺乏长期研究数据。同时强调技术带来的益处,主张客观看待注意力问题。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2, 093 UK adults last year. Half of those surveyed felt their attention spans were shorter than they used to be, compared with a quarter who didn’t. And three quarters of participants agreed we’re living through a time when there’s non-stop competition for our attention between a variety of media channels and information outlets.”可知,一半的被调查者认为他们的注意力持续时间比以前短了,相比之下,四分之一的人不这么认为。四分之三的参与者同意,我们生活在一个各种媒体渠道和信息渠道之间无休止地争夺我们注意力的时代。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that’s.”可知,人们一直担心新的文化形式会威胁到人们的注意力,作者提及苏格拉底是为了表明对注意力的担忧是古老的问题。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s also important not to ignore the many benefits that technology brings to our life.”可推知,该段落介绍的是数字干扰给我们生活带来的好处。故选B。
33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“We are in the midst of a battle for our attention.”及全文内容可知,本文主要探讨数字时代对人类注意力造成的影响。通过调查数据、历史案例和辩证分析,文章指出公众普遍担忧注意力危机,但实际缺乏长期研究数据。同时强调技术带来的益处,主张客观看待注意力问题。故选A。

四、阅读表达(第34-36每题2分,第37题4分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her responsibility heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.
After retiring (退休) from ballet in 2007, Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for more than ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet.
Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).
Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.
On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Much to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said, “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”
Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.
34. What did Aesha do before she retired?
________________________________________
35. Where did Aesha set up her first ballet camp?
________________________________________
36. Why was Aesha nervous before the final performance?
________________________________________
37. Suppose you are Aesha in the passage, what will you do after retiring? Please list two things and give the reasons separately.
________________________________________
【答案】34. She was a ballet dancer and a member of the New York City Ballet.
35. In a poor neighborhood in New York.
36. Because she thought the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old and the performance might be a mess.
37. First, I would expand “The Swan Dreams Project” to more countries. Because Aesha’s goal was to make ballet accessible to underprivileged kids. Expanding globally aligns with her mission to break racial and economic barriers in ballet. Second, I would publish a memoir about my career to inspire future dancers. Because her unique experience as a rare African American ballerina could motivate others to pursue ballet despite challenges.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Aesha Ash的芭蕾舞生涯以及她退休后如何通过创办“天鹅梦想计划”来帮助贫困地区的孩子接触芭蕾舞的故事。

根据“Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet.”可知,Aesha退休前是一名芭蕾舞演员,并且是纽约市芭蕾舞团的成员。故填She was a ballet dancer and a member of the New York City Ballet.
【35题详解】
根据“Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York.”可知,Aesha的第一个芭蕾舞营地是在纽约的一个贫困社区设立的。故填In a poor neighborhood in New York.
【36题详解】
根据“Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old.”可知,Aesha在最后一场演出前感到紧张,是因为她担心演出会变得一团糟,因为参加营地的孩子们年龄都在8到11岁之间。故填Because she thought the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old and the performance might be a mess.
【37题详解】
开放性作答,结合实际,言之有理即可。参考答案为First, I would expand “The Swan Dreams Project” to more countries. Because Aesha’s goal was to make ballet accessible to underprivileged kids. Expanding globally aligns with her mission to break racial and economic barriers in ballet. Second, I would publish a memoir about my career to inspire future dancers. Because her unique experience as a rare African American ballerina could motivate others to pursue ballet despite challenges.

My Dad, a Superhero
When I was only seven, my family took a road trip to San Francisco. My father was driving our family car along the highway. The rain was pouring down so heavily that each drop of rain felt as if it were going to break the windshield (挡风玻璃).
I wasn’t scared. The downpour fascinated me. However, my brother, who is only one year younger than me, was annoying me with his unfriendly hits. I tried hard to stop him but failed. I could only complain to Mom and our sister about the fighting in the backseat, but it was useless.
My father, who was driving, knew the way to stop us from fighting. So he said, “Boys, do you know that I have learned magic?”
My brother and I stopped immediately. “What?”
My father replied, “Do you want me to show you some magic?”
I felt so excited that I jumped out of my seat Even my brother was curious about what Dad was saying. It was every child’s dream to have a superhero father.
“I have the ability to stop the rain from falling. It’s only for short periods of time, so you have to pay close attention,” he said.
I was speechless. This seemed to be an impossible trick, even for a superhero. I could only stare at him through the rearview mirror (后视镜), wondering if the magic could really stop the rain.
“Are you ready?” he asked. “Yes!” we both answered.
“Okay. Let me collect my powers.” There was a short pause. “Okay. First, I have to say the magic words ‘Abra Cadabra’. Here we go ... Abra Cadabra!”
And just like that, for one second, the rain stopped! It was a miracle! I was shocked. My dad really was a superhero. How could I not have known? For years, he must have hidden his magical weapons in the garage. I bet his old car was just a cover so that the bad guys wouldn’t know who he really was.
“Wow!” I said to my brother, who seemed to be just as amazed as I was. “Wow...” was all he could say, too.
Then our car drove under another overpass.
24. Who was fighting with the writer on the trip to San Francisco?
A. His brother. B. His father. C. His mother. D. His sister.
25. When the father wanted to show some magic, the boys were ________.
A. relaxed and amazed B. excited and curious C. scared but surprised D. angry but worried
26. What might happen next according to the end of the story?
A. The mother might be angry with the father.
B. The bad guys might know who the father really was.
C. The boys might know the truth of their father’s magic.
D. The family might find some magical weapons in the garage.

If you’re missing an amazing party for your aunt’s birthday that you promised your mum you would attend you’ll probably get “FOMO” — the fear of missing out.
It’s impossible to attend every social event in the calendar, but sometimes it really annoys you when you have prior (先前的) engagements (约定) and you know you’re missing out on something great.
But some people feel the opposite. Rather than feeling FOMO, they take joy in missing out. They don’t feel the need to attend everything, and instead find comfort in either sticking to their original plans or staying at home alone.
In a blog post, Kristen Fuller said “JOMO” is basically the emotionally intelligent antidote to “FOMO” and it is “about being present and being satisfied with where you are in life”. Some people are born with it, others learn to accept it.
Here are the different ways JOMO can show itself:
①Living in the moment
If you constantly worry about missing out on something, you cannot enjoy yourself wherever you are. This isn’t a healthy way to live your life, and Fuller wrote that you shouldn’t compare yourself to other people’s lives or experiences.
“JOMO allows us to be who we are in the present moment, which is the secret to finding happiness,” she said. “When you free up that competitive and anxious space in your brain, you have so much more time, energy and emotion to realize your true priorities (首要事情). ”
② Switching off
In an article, writer Justin Bariso discovered JOMO after he published his first book. He found it hard to switch off, worrying that his editor would contact him for rewrites, or he would miss an important email. It wasn’t until he was abroad with his family and his daughter asked him to play that he thought: “What am I doing?”
“Did I really want to go to Starbucks to sit in front of my computer, responding to emails from people I barely know, when instead I could be spending time with my family on a beautiful beach?” he wrote.
③Enjoying your own company
Some people are simply born with the ability to switch off, and not worry about what they could be missing out on. For them, being alone is important, and it doesn’t matter if they’re missing out on the party of the year.
Others don’t necessarily need the space on a biological level, but they don’t feel the need to compare their lives to others. These are the people who aren’t involved in social media, and find joy in what they have, rather than focusing on what they don’t.
27. Which of the following proves that you feel JOMO?
A. You cancel your original appointment and attend a party later.
B. You always work hard in order to create a better future for your family.
C. You spare a day for yourself every week to do some reading and writing.
D. You constantly check your emails to make sure you keep up with your work.
28. What does the underlined word “antidote” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. A requirement to improve the situation. B. A way to take away the bad effects of something.
C. An experiment to test the effect of something. D. A method to keep a balance between two things.
29. Which is the best title of this article?
A. Differences between FOMO and JOMO B. Your Choice: FOMO or JOMO
C. JOMO: A Way to Deal with Fear D. JOMO: Find Happiness in Not Being Involved
D
We are in the midst of (处于……之中) a battle for our attention. Our devices have affected our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate. Journalist Johann Hair’s new book, Stolen Focus, has just joined the voices complaining about the great influence of the digital age. His and other recent books reflect a public idea that our focus is under attack.
Indeed, in our new research, we found some clear concerns. We surveyed a nationally representative sample of 2, 093 UK adults last year. Half of those surveyed felt their attention spans were shorter than they used to be, compared with a quarter who didn’t. And three quarters of participants agreed we’re living through a time when there’s non-stop competition for our attention between a variety of media channels and information outlets (渠道).
There has long been a worry about the threat to attention brought by new cultural forms, whether that’s social media or the cheap paperback sensation (煽情) novels of the 19th century. Even as far back as ancient Greece, the philosopher Socrates complained that the written words created “forgetfulness in our souls.” There has always been a tendency to fear the effects that new media and technologies will have on our minds.
The reality is that we simply don’t have long-term studies that tell us whether our attention spans have actually shrunk (缩短). What we do know from our study is that people overestimate (高估) some of the problems. There’s no such thing as an average attention span. Our ability to focus varies hugely depending on the individual and the task at hand.
It’s also important not to ignore the many benefits that technology brings to our life. Much of the public surveyed recognized these so while half thought big tech and social media were ruining young people’s attention spans, roughly another half felt that being easily distracted was more to do with people’s personalities than any negative influence that technology may or may not have. Also, half of the public believed multitasking at work and switching frequently between emails, phone calls, and other tasks can create a more efficient and satisfactory work experience.
30. What can we know about some of the participants in the new research?
A. They were frequently disturbed by digital devices.
B. They felt it hard to acquire useful information online.
C. They had shorter attention spans than average people.
D. They felt challenged by fierce competition from others.
31. Why does the author mention Socrates in Paragraph 3?
A. To stress new cultural forms have limitations.
B. To show worry about attention is an age-old problem.
C. To prove the important role he played in literary history.
D. To explain cultural differences between the past and the present.
32. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People tend to overestimate their abilities.
B. Digital distractions might have potential benefits.
C. Technology’s benefits have been largely ignored.
D. Switching between different tasks frequently is difficult.
33. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Digital devices can benefit our work. B. We should say “No” to digital devices.
C. Digital distractions really affect us so much. D. We should think highly of new cultural forms.

四、阅读表达(第34-36每题2分,第37题4分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her responsibility heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.
After retiring (退休) from ballet in 2007, Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for more than ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet.
Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).
Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.
On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Much to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said, “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”
Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.
34. What did Aesha do before she retired?
________________________________________
35. Where did Aesha set up her first ballet camp?
________________________________________
36. Why was Aesha nervous before the final performance?

37. Suppose you are Aesha in the passage, what will you do after retiring? Please list two things and give the reasons separately.
