In 1995, Uyinga left her home on the grassland to study at the Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics in the regional capital, Hohhot. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in land resource management, she immediately decided to return home as she believed the vast grassland has more opportunities to offer than big cities.
“I was born on the grassland, and I have a free spirit. And the infrastructure such as roads and telecommunication on the grassland has been significantly improved, so it can be just as convenient to start businesses at my home,” Uyinga said.
Following the recommendation of a career adviser on e-commerce, she started to post videos about the life of herdsmen(牧民)on social media in January 2018. “There wasn’t any influencer posting about the life of herdsmen in Inner Mongolia back then. And my first goal was to clear up people’s misunderstandings about herdsmen,” she said. Like many people from the region, Uyinga is often asked if locals ride horses to school and work. “Many people aren’t familiar with life and culture on the grassland. In fact, the herdsmen’s life on the grassland has also been improved and modernized. At the same time, we have kept our traditions alive,” she said.
Besides enjoying the stunning sunrises and sunsets in the short videos posted by Uyinga, people are particularly interested in how her family prepares traditional Mongolian food, such as dairy products, milk tea and boiled meat. One of Uyinga’s videos that went viral features her family storing meat for a harsh winter ahead. It has received more than 9 million views on social media platforms. “I’ve never imagined people can be so interested in our normal routines. It has made me more determined to promote our rich culture and heritage,” Uyinga said.
She now has more than 1.18 million followers on the short video platform Douyin, but she said she doesn’t like to be called an influencer. “I am simply a recorder of the grassland and the lifestyle of the herdsmen,” she said.
24. What made Uyinga come back to her hometown after graduation?
A. Her major in the university. B. Her belief in the grassland.
C. Attachment to her hometown. D. Pressure in the big city.
25. What were Uyinga’s first videos aimed at?
A. Showing off her lifestyle.
B. Attracting tourists to Inner Mongolia.
C. Promoting traditional Mongolian food.
D. Clarifying misconceptions of the herdsman’s life.
26. What is known about the herdsmen in Inner Mongolia?
A. They homemake meat products for winter.
B. They face many challenges in the grassland.
C. They have totally abandoned their traditions.
D. They enjoy making videos about their life.
27. What is a best title for the passage?
A. Mongolia, home to herdsmen. B. Herdsman, a new lifestyle.
C. Grassland, home of Uyinga. D. Uyinga, a grassland recorder.
C
Bees do it. Fishes do it. People do it, though often less than they would like to. Owls do it in the daytime. Even Caenorhabditis elegans, a primitive roundworm made up of a few thousand cells, does something that looks an awful lot like it. Sleep is an ancient, universal experience.
But partly because it is so commonplace, for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken up to. It is only in the past half-century or so that it has attracted the attention of researchers. A new book from Kenneth Miller, a science journalist, sets out to record the field’s short but fascinating history.
The book is organized around the life and hard work of four scientists. The early pages of the book, before there is much in the way of established science to describe, are the weakest. A good deal of time is spent on biographical details and pen portraits of the world through which they moved. But the story soon picks up. It wanders from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms — the biological clocks that govern humanity’s days — to the effects of sleep deprivation. It also explores the purpose, if any, of dreams.
Underlying it all is a sense of psychology’s slow maturing as a science. New technologies such as electroencephalographs, which monitor electrical activity in the brain, have offered practitioners the ability to study brains directly, rather than trying to infer what they are doing from the behaviour of their owners.
Discoveries often lead to new questions in turn. That is why neat, tidy endings are hard to achieve in science books; this one is no different. Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. The fact it is so widespread suggests it is vital. But why evolution would see fit to produce animals that must spend large amounts of their time insensate and unable to respond to threats is still a mystery researchers are trying to solve. For anyone curious about asking the right questions, however, Mr Miller’s book is a good place to start.
28. Why are Caenorhabditis elegans mentioned?
A. To prove the commonness of sleep.
B. To compare different types of sleep.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in sleep.
D. To give background information on sleep.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The exploration of dreams. B. The contents of the book.
C. The progress of sleep science. D. The biography of the writer.
30. How does the author find the ending of the book?
A. Mysterious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsatisfying. D. Influential.
31. What does the underlined word “insensate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Negative. B. Active. C. Sleepless. D. Feelingless.
D
A seemingly harmless yes to a request is just one more thing added to the pile already weighing on you and making it impossible to pay attention to what you really want or need. The strategic use of no can truly change your quality of life.
Saying no too little — and thus yes too much — has always been a problem for me, due to two issues. The first is not valuing the future properly compared with the present. Economists and psychologists have long studied the phenomenon of discounting (“贴现”现象), according to which we value something right now more highly than we value the idea of having the same item in, say, a year’s time.
A bit of such discounting won’t break my decision making and mess up my life, but many people suffer from a common bias(偏见)called “hyperbolic discounting (双曲线贴现),” which, as the name suggests, is the same phenomenon but to an extreme degree. This explains addictive behaviors, in which the likelihood of future damage — from drug use, for example — is ignored in favor of the momentary present pleasure. Hyperbolic discounting can also help explain my habitually saying yes to some upcoming task: Future inconvenience is ignored in favor of the joy available right now of saying you will take it on.
The second problem is the fear of future regret. Researchers have shown that this concern can lead to risk avoidance. The fear of future regret can lead you to say yes to too many things if you’re worried about missing an opportunity.
Perhaps neither hyperbolic discounting nor the fear of regret bothers you, but you still say yes too much. In that case, the problem may originate in a sense of responsibility or guilt, not necessarily a character weakness. It may simply be the cost of being a kind person.
But saying yes can be costly indeed if people around you know they can ask you for nearly anything and you’ll agree. Whether you are a faulty-discounter, a regret-fearer, or a guilt-feeler, you need tools to help manage your yes bias.
32. Which of the following belongs to a phenomenon of discounting?
A. A small action can set off a chain of unexpected events.
B. More than one watch doesn’t tell more accurate time.
C. Instant rewards are overvalued instead of long-term goals.
D. The pain of regret is greater than the joy of all the gains.
33. Why is “hyperbolic discounting” discussed?
A. To explain an addictive behavior.
B. To clarify a negative effect of saying no.
C. To show an example of being regretful.
D. To tell an extreme degree of discounting.
34. What causes discounting in paragraph 5?
A. A proper focus on the future. B. The fear of future regret.
C. A desire to be a kind person. D. The momentary pleasure.
35. What will be discussed next to the last paragraph?
A. The causes of saying yes. B. The techniques of saying no.
C. The strategies of feeling no regret. D. The benefits of managing yes bias.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox (戒断) may be just what you need. ____36____ When people hear the word detox, they may think it’s a strict all-or-nothing thing, but it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Here are some ideas to get you started.
It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it. ____37____ Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t drop your phone, block out time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day. ____38____
Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom, but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life. Quick-response codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’ re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone. ____39____ If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.
____40____ Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep.
A. You are not alone as a digital addict.
B. Keep your phone away from your bed.
C. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.
D. Specify some areas of your home as tech-free.
E. Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon instead.
F. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.
G. You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sophia and Jessica had been closest friends since elementary school. They walked to school arm in arm, whispered secrets at midnight during countless sleepovers, and faced every challenge of high school together. Sophia, with her quiet creativity, poured her soul into a blue leather-bound notebook filled with poems, stories, and letters to her late mother. Jessica, bright and mischievous, was the one who could always make her laugh, even on the hardest days.
Then, one morning, the notebook vanished (消失) without a trace.
Sophia distinctly remembered placing it carefully between textbooks in her locker the previous afternoon. But when she opened the metal door the next day, the space where it should have been sat empty. A cold dread washed over her-that notebook contained her most private thoughts, words too personal to share with anyone else.
Jessica, ever the optimist, tried to reassure her. “Maybe you’re careless enough to leave it behind in the library reading room. After all, you always stay there. Don’t worry. It’ll turn up,” she said with a playful grin, nudging Sophia’s shoulder. “Maybe I stole it. Wouldn’t that be funny?”
Sophia managed a weak smile but the casual remark planted an uneasy seed in her mind.
Days passed, and the notebook didn’t reappear. Sophia retraced her steps, checked lost-and-found bins, even asked teachers if anyone had turned it in. Nothing. Meanwhile, All the while, Jessica’s usual jokes began sounding less comforting and more unsettling. That offhand comment about taking it kept echoing in Sophia’s thoughts. Why would she say that?
She started noticing little things — the way Jessica sometimes lingered near her locker, the way her gaze flicked away when Sophia mentioned the notebook. A seed of doubt took root, spreading like ivy, wrapping around their friendship. Sophia stopped waiting for Jessica after class. She ate lunch alone, burying herself in books to avoid conversation.
Jessica couldn’t miss the growing distance. Her usual spark dimmed, her cheerful chatter replaced by hesitant silences. One afternoon in the library, she slid into the chair beside Sophia. “You don’t actually think I’d do that, do you?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Sophia kept her eyes fixed on her book, the silence between them heavier than any words could be.
Mr. Thompson, the English teacher, walked in holding a familiar blue notebook.

In 1995, Uyinga left her home on the grassland to study at the Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics in the regional capital, Hohhot. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in land resource management, she immediately decided to return home as she believed the vast grassland has more opportunities to offer than big cities.
“I was born on the grassland, and I have a free spirit. And the infrastructure such as roads and telecommunication on the grassland has been significantly improved, so it can be just as convenient to start businesses at my home,” Uyinga said.
Following the recommendation of a career adviser on e-commerce, she started to post videos about the life of herdsmen(牧民)on social media in January 2018. “There wasn’t any influencer posting about the life of herdsmen in Inner Mongolia back then. And my first goal was to clear up people’s misunderstandings about herdsmen,” she said. Like many people from the region, Uyinga is often asked if locals ride horses to school and work. “Many people aren’t familiar with life and culture on the grassland. In fact, the herdsmen’s life on the grassland has also been improved and modernized. At the same time, we have kept our traditions alive,” she said.
Besides enjoying the stunning sunrises and sunsets in the short videos posted by Uyinga, people are particularly interested in how her family prepares traditional Mongolian food, such as dairy products, milk tea and boiled meat. One of Uyinga’s videos that went viral features her family storing meat for a harsh winter ahead. It has received more than 9 million views on social media platforms. “I’ve never imagined people can be so interested in our normal routines. It has made me more determined to promote our rich culture and heritage,” Uyinga said.
She now has more than 1.18 million followers on the short video platform Douyin, but she said she doesn’t like to be called an influencer. “I am simply a recorder of the grassland and the lifestyle of the herdsmen,” she said.
24. What made Uyinga come back to her hometown after graduation?
A. Her major in the university. B. Her belief in the grassland.
C. Attachment to her hometown. D. Pressure in the big city.
25. What were Uyinga’s first videos aimed at?
A. Showing off her lifestyle.
B. Attracting tourists to Inner Mongolia.
C. Promoting traditional Mongolian food.
D. Clarifying misconceptions of the herdsman’s life.
26. What is known about the herdsmen in Inner Mongolia?
A. They homemake meat products for winter.
B. They face many challenges in the grassland.
C. They have totally abandoned their traditions.
D. They enjoy making videos about their life.
27. What is a best title for the passage?
A. Mongolia, home to herdsmen. B. Herdsman, a new lifestyle.
C. Grassland, home of Uyinga. D. Uyinga, a grassland recorder.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了 Uyinga 从内蒙古大学毕业后回到家乡,通过在社交媒体发布短视频记录牧民生活,消除人们对牧民生活误解并推广草原文化的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in land resource management, she immediately decided to return home as she believed the vast grassland has more opportunities to offer than big cities.(在获得土地资源管理学士学位后,她立刻决定回家,因为她相信广阔的草原比大城市能提供更多机会)” 可知,是她对草原的信念,即认为草原机会更多,促使 Uyinga 毕业后回到家乡。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“There wasn’t any influencer posting about the life of herdsmen in Inner Mongolia back then. And my first goal was to clear up people’s misunderstandings about herdsmen,” she said.(她说:“那时没有网红发布关于内蒙古牧民生活的内容。我的首要目标是消除人们对牧民的误解”)” 可知,Uyinga 最初发布视频的目的是消除人们对牧民生活的误解。选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段 “One of Uyinga’s videos that went viral features her family storing meat for a harsh winter ahead.(Uyinga 的一个走红视频展示了她的家人为即将到来的严冬储存肉类)” 可以推断,内蒙古的牧民会为过冬自制肉制品。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““I am simply a recorder of the grassland and the lifestyle of the herdsmen,” she said.(“我只是草原和牧民生活方式的记录者”她说。)”可知,主要讲述了 Uyinga 从内蒙古大学毕业后回到家乡,通过在社交媒体发布短视频记录牧民生活,消除人们对牧民生活误解并推广草原文化的故事。所以 D “Uyinga,一名草原记录者”为短文最佳标题。故选D。
C
Bees do it. Fishes do it. People do it, though often less than they would like to. Owls do it in the daytime. Even Caenorhabditis elegans, a primitive roundworm made up of a few thousand cells, does something that looks an awful lot like it. Sleep is an ancient, universal experience.
But partly because it is so commonplace, for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken up to. It is only in the past half-century or so that it has attracted the attention of researchers. A new book from Kenneth Miller, a science journalist, sets out to record the field’s short but fascinating history.
The book is organized around the life and hard work of four scientists. The early pages of the book, before there is much in the way of established science to describe, are the weakest. A good deal of time is spent on biographical details and pen portraits of the world through which they moved. But the story soon picks up. It wanders from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms — the biological clocks that govern humanity’s days — to the effects of sleep deprivation. It also explores the purpose, if any, of dreams.
Underlying it all is a sense of psychology’s slow maturing as a science. New technologies such as electroencephalographs, which monitor electrical activity in the brain, have offered practitioners the ability to study brains directly, rather than trying to infer what they are doing from the behaviour of their owners.
Discoveries often lead to new questions in turn. That is why neat, tidy endings are hard to achieve in science books; this one is no different. Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. The fact it is so widespread suggests it is vital. But why evolution would see fit to produce animals that must spend large amounts of their time insensate and unable to respond to threats is still a mystery researchers are trying to solve. For anyone curious about asking the right questions, however, Mr Miller’s book is a good place to start.
28. Why are Caenorhabditis elegans mentioned?
A. To prove the commonness of sleep.
B. To compare different types of sleep.
C. To arouse readers’ interest in sleep.
D To give background information on sleep.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The exploration of dreams. B. The contents of the book.
C. The progress of sleep science. D. The biography of the writer.
30. How does the author find the ending of the book?
A. Mysterious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsatisfying. D. Influential.
31. What does the underlined word “insensate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Negative. B. Active. C. Sleepless. D. Feelingless.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Kenneth Miller关于睡眠科学史的著作,通过四位科学家的研究历程展现该领域的发展,包括重要发现和未解之谜,指出睡眠研究仍处于探索阶段。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Bees do it. Fishes do it. People do it, though often less than they would like to. Owls do it in the daytime. Even Caenorhabditis elegans, a primitive roundworm made up of a few thousand cells, does something that looks an awful lot like it. Sleep is an ancient, universal experience. (蜜蜂会睡觉。鱼也会睡觉。人类同样需要睡眠——尽管实际睡眠时间往往少于他们的期望。猫头鹰甚至在白天睡觉。就连由几千个细胞组成的原始线虫——秀丽隐杆线虫,也会表现出与睡眠高度相似的行为。睡眠,是一种古老而普遍的生命体验)”可知,作者通过列举蜜蜂、鱼类、人类,甚至秀丽隐杆线虫等广泛生物都存在睡眠现象,证明睡眠的普遍性。故选A项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The book is organized around the life and hard work of four scientists. The early pages of the book, before there is much in the way of established science to describe, are the weakest. A good deal of time is spent on biographical details and pen portraits of the world through which they moved. But the story soon picks up. It wanders from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms — the biological clocks that govern humanity’s days — to the effects of sleep deprivation. It also explores the purpose, if any, of dreams. (本书以四位科学家的生平与研究工作为主线展开。在睡眠科学尚未形成体系的前期阶段,书籍开篇部分稍显薄弱,作者耗费不少笔墨描绘科学家们的成长背景与其所处的时代画卷。不过故事很快步入正轨。从揭示快速眼动睡眠REM与支配人类作息的生物钟,即昼夜节律,到剖析睡眠剥夺的种种影响,乃至探讨梦境存在的意义,如果真有意义的话,书的内容逐渐展开)”可知,该段具体描述书中涵盖的睡眠科学研究的内容。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That is why neat, tidy endings are hard to achieve in science books; this one is no different. Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. (正因如此,科学著作往往难以给出清晰明确结论——本书也不例外。尽管过去50年研究取得了诸多进展,但科学家们至今仍未真正破解睡眠的终极奥秘)”可知,作者指出该书如大多数科学著作一样,无法给出清晰明确的结论,因此对其结尾是不满意的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. The fact it is so widespread suggests it is vital. (尽管过去50年研究取得了诸多进展,但科学家们至今仍未真正破解睡眠的终极奥秘)”和下文“unable to respond to threats (无法对威胁做出反应)”可知,此处从进化的角度追问睡眠的意义,描述睡眠时生物的状态,应该是“无感知、无反应”,画线词意思应该是“无感觉的”,与Feelingless意思一致。故选D项。
D
A seemingly harmless yes to a request is just one more thing added to the pile already weighing on you and making it impossible to pay attention to what you really want or need. The strategic use of no can truly change your quality of life.
Saying no too little — and thus yes too much — has always been a problem for me, due to two issues. The first is not valuing the future properly compared with the present. Economists and psychologists have long studied the phenomenon of discounting (“贴现”现象), according to which we value something right now more highly than we value the idea of having the same item in, say, a year’s time.
A bit of such discounting won’t break my decision making and mess up my life, but many people suffer from a common bias(偏见)called “hyperbolic discounting (双曲线贴现),” which, as the name suggests, is the same phenomenon but to an extreme degree. This explains addictive behaviors, in which the likelihood of future damage — from drug use, for example — is ignored in favor of the momentary present pleasure. Hyperbolic discounting can also help explain my habitually saying yes to some upcoming task: Future inconvenience is ignored in favor of the joy available right now of saying you will take it on.
The second problem is the fear of future regret. Researchers have shown that this concern can lead to risk avoidance. The fear of future regret can lead you to say yes to too many things if you’re worried about missing an opportunity.
Perhaps neither hyperbolic discounting nor the fear of regret bothers you, but you still say yes too much. In that case, the problem may originate in a sense of responsibility or guilt, not necessarily a character weakness. It may simply be the cost of being a kind person.

32. Which of the following belongs to a phenomenon of discounting?
A. A small action can set off a chain of unexpected events.

【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了总是说 “是”而不善于说“不”这一现象,分析了导致该现象的原因,如贴现现象、对未来后悔的恐惧、责任感或内疚感等,并指出需要方法来改变过度说“是”的倾向。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Economists and psychologists have long studied the phenomenon of discounting (“贴现”现象), according to which we value something right now more highly than we value the idea of having the same item in, say, a year’s time. (经济学家和心理学家长期研究“贴现”现象,根据这一现象,我们对当下某事物的估值,要高于对比如一年后拥有同一事物的估值)” 可知,贴现现象是指过度重视即时奖励而非长期目标。故选C。
33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A bit of such discounting won’t break my decision making and mess up my life, but many people suffer from a common bias (偏见) called “hyperbolic discounting (双曲线贴现),” which, as the name suggests, is the same phenomenon but to an extreme degree. This explains addictive behaviors, in which the likelihood of future damage — from drug use, for example — is ignored in favor of the momentary present pleasure. (适度的这种贴现行为不会破坏我的决策,也不会扰乱我的生活,但许多人都受一种常见的偏见 ——“双曲线贴现” 的影响。顾名思义,这与贴现是同一类现象,只不过程度极为极端。这就解释了成瘾行为,在这类行为中,诸如吸毒等行为可能带来的未来危害被忽视,人们只图当下一时的快乐。)”,可知讨论 “双曲线贴现” 是为了说明贴现现象的极端程度。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Perhaps neither hyperbolic discounting nor the fear of regret bothers you, but you still say yes too much. In that case, the problem may originate in a sense of responsibility or guilt, not necessarily a character weakness. It may simply be the cost of being a kind person. (或许双曲线贴现和对后悔的恐惧都没有困扰到你,但你依旧频繁答应他人。在这种情况下,问题可能源于责任感或内疚感,这并非性格上的缺陷,而仅仅是做个好人的代价)” 可知,是想成为善良的人的愿望导致了贴现(过度说“是”)。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Whether you are a faulty - discounter, a regret - fearer, or a guilt - feeler, you need tools to help manage your yes bias. (无论你是贴现错误者、后悔恐惧者,还是内疚感强烈者,你都需要一些方法来应对你过度说‘是’的倾向)”,由此可推断接下来会讨论说“不”的技巧。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there anyone who couldn’t spend a little less time on their phone? A digital detox (戒断) may be just what you need. ____36____ When people hear the word detox, they may think it’s a strict all-or-nothing thing, but it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Here are some ideas to get you started.
It’s one thing to say you’re going to get rid of your phone on your next vacation, but it’s quite another thing to actually do it. ____37____ Once you get used to small blocks of time without it, it will be easier and easier to forget how much you relied on it.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t drop your phone, block out time to use technology during the moments you absolutely have to use it. For example, spend a morning in bed on a Saturday to catch up on social media and then rely less on your phone the rest of the day. ____38____
Not to sound too much like a lecturing mom, but mealtimes should be quality time with your dining companions in real life. Quick-response codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’ re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone. ____39____ If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.
____40____ Where you sleep, for example, should be a restful place, not a place to get worked up over social media posts. Start your digital detox by taking the television out of the room, and definitely keep your phone elsewhere while you sleep.
A. You are not alone as a digital addict.
B. Keep your phone away from your bed.
C. Ask for a paper menu whenever possible.
D. Specify some areas of your home as tech-free.
E. Try setting aside your phone for an afternoon instead.
F. It is a planned and mindful break from digital technology.
G. You just might find that you now have time for a new hobby.

【39题详解】
根据上文“Quick-response codes for menus at restaurants can be a little annoying too, since you’ re dining out with friends to spend time with them, not get absorbed in your phone.(餐厅菜单的二维码也有点烦人,因为你和朋友出去吃饭是为了和他们共度时光,而不是沉迷于手机)”及下文“If you have to use your phone to order dinner, put it back in your purse as soon as you can.(如果你必须用手机点餐,尽快把它放回包里)”可知,上下文介绍在餐厅点餐时间的做法,空处应承接前文,给出减少用餐时手机使用的具体做法,引出后文关于必须用手机点餐时的做法。故C选项“尽可能要一份纸质菜单”承上启下,符合语境。故选 C。

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:灵犀X2能够执行从保安到管家和清洁工等一系列任务,该公司表示,这凸显了人形机器人在教育、医疗保健等领域的广泛应用和潜力。“(range) from security guard to housekeeper and cleaner”在句中作后置定语,修饰名词tasks,range(变化,变动)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语tasks之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词表主动。故填ranging。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“灵犀X2机器人代表了人工智能和情感技术的一个重大飞跃,”该公司创始人兼首席技术官彭先生说。可数名词leap在句中作宾语,表示“一个重大飞跃”,泛指,且significant发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【58题详解】

【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:该公司由彭先生于2023年创立,彭先生是一位知名网络红人,也是另一家科技公司的前员工之一。“one of...”后面接可数名词复数,意为“……之一”。故填employees。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:该公司由彭先生于2023年创立,彭先生是一位知名网络红人,也是另一家科技公司的前员工之一,如今已成为机器人创新领域的领导者之一。“emerge as”是固定短语,意为“成为,作为……出现”。故填as。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:这款机器人能够骑自行车和使用平衡板,其运动灵活性远远超过了竞争对手。“ride a bicycle”和“use a balance board”是并列关系,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:这款机器人能够骑自行车和使用平衡板,其运动灵活性远远超过了竞争对手。提示词作surpasses的宾语,用名词flexibility,意为“灵活性”,不可数名词。故填flexibility。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:作为第一款真正具有交互性的“动态机器人”,灵犀X2的多模态交互模型能在毫秒内做出响应。提示词修饰形容词interactive,用副词truly作状语,意为“真正地”。故填truly。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:作为第一款真正具有交互性的“动态机器人”,灵犀X2的多模态交互模型能在毫秒内做出响应。respond(响应)是主句谓语动词,句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语“model”是单数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填responds。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这款机器人可以表现出“栩栩如生的特征”,模仿人类的呼吸和一系列肢体语言,这展示了其先进的情感表达能力。“_____ demonstrates advanced emotional expression capabilities”是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,用关系代词which引导从句并将其代入从句中作主语。故填which。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sophia and Jessica had been closest friends since elementary school. They walked to school arm in arm, whispered secrets at midnight during countless sleepovers, and faced every challenge of high school together. Sophia, with her quiet creativity, poured her soul into a blue leather-bound notebook filled with poems, stories, and letters to her late mother. Jessica, bright and mischievous, was the one who could always make her laugh, even on the hardest days.
Then, one morning, the notebook vanished (消失) without a trace.
Sophia distinctly remembered placing it carefully between textbooks in her locker the previous afternoon. But when she opened the metal door the next day, the space where it should have been sat empty. A cold dread washed over her-that notebook contained her most private thoughts, words too personal to share with anyone else.
Jessica, ever the optimist, tried to reassure her. “Maybe you’re careless enough to leave it behind in the library reading room. After all, you always stay there. Don’t worry. It’ll turn up,” she said with a playful grin, nudging Sophia’s shoulder. “Maybe I stole it. Wouldn’t that be funny?”
Sophia managed a weak smile, but the casual remark planted an uneasy seed in her mind.
Days passed, and the notebook didn’t reappear. Sophia retraced her steps, checked lost-and-found bins, even asked teachers if anyone had turned it in. Nothing. Meanwhile, All the while, Jessica’s usual jokes began sounding less comforting and more unsettling. That offhand comment about taking it kept echoing in Sophia’s thoughts. Why would she say that?
She started noticing little things — the way Jessica sometimes lingered near her locker, the way her gaze flicked away when Sophia mentioned the notebook. A seed of doubt took root, spreading like ivy, wrapping around their friendship. Sophia stopped waiting for Jessica after class. She ate lunch alone, burying herself in books to avoid conversation.
Jessica couldn’t miss the growing distance. Her usual spark dimmed, her cheerful chatter replaced by hesitant silences. One afternoon in the library, she slid into the chair beside Sophia. “You don’t actually think I’d do that, do you?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Sophia kept her eyes fixed on her book, the silence between them heavier than any words could be.
Mr. Thompson, the English teacher, walked in holding a familiar blue notebook.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The bell rang, and students streamed out of the classroom.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mr. Thompson, the English teacher, walked in holding a familiar blue notebook. His eyes sparkled with excitement behind his round glasses as he held it up and announced, “This was found in the library reading room.” Sophia’s heart skipped a beat — it was her journal, filled with months of heartfelt writing. She reached out and took the precious notebook, running her fingers over the slightly worn cover before flipping through the pages of perfectly preserved poems and stories. Each entry transported her back to the moment she had written it. When her eyes met Jessica’s, she quickly looked down, overcome with guilt.
The bell rang, and students streamed out of the classroom. Sophia spotted Jessica already halfway down the hallway, walking faster than usual. Without hesitation, she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her friend. Jessica stiffened for a moment before relaxing into the embrace. “I’m sorry,” Sophia whispered into her shoulder. Jessica pulled back, her eyes glistening, and gave Sophia a light punch on the arm. “Just don’t be so impulsive next time,” she teased. Arm in arm, they stepped into the crisp autumn afternoon, their laughter mingling with the rustling leaves, their friendship restored.
