第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,34分)

A
As a shoe cobbler, Jim McFarland has spent his career with his eyes trained downward on his work. He never expected anyone to care much about his craft. But McFarland, 59, now has more than 1 million followers on social media platform. He posts videos of his work as a cobbler — from replacing thin soles to fixing zippers, reviving (恢复) rubber heels to adding customized touches to timeworn pieces. McFarland breathes new life into seemingly unwearable shoes from his shop in Lakeland, Florida.
Viewers are fascinated by McFarland’s careful cobbling. While he often uses a sanding machine, he does most of the work by hand and with basic tools. In one video, which has been viewed nearly 60 million times, McFarland revives and personalizes a pair of limited-edition boots, painting the soles a deep blue shade. The video shows every step of the painstaking process.
According to McFarland, becoming a cobbler isn’t simple. “It takes three to five years to learn the trade,” said McFarland, who comes from a long line of cobblers. “This is my family heritage, my history. We’ve been at it for a long time.” As a teen, McFarland wasn’t keen on becoming a cobbler. When he was 20, though, his father got sick, and McFarland dropped out of college to help him run the family business. He ultimately took over. “I have no regrets. I really love being here.” McFarland said.
McFarland is an advocate for buying high-quality shoes and mending them as needed, rather than purchasing inexpensive and trendy shoes that tend to not weather well. He said he frequently fixes shoes that are more than 40 years old. When he’s finished with them, “they’ll be good for probably another 30 to 50 years if you take care of them,” he said.
McFarland’s mentality goes in line with the mending movement, which promotes repairing rather than replacing broken things. Unlike fast fashion, which has disastrous consequences for the environment, the mending movement seeks to reduce consumption and waste. “Good material can always be revived,” McFarland said. “It can last a lifetime.”
41. McFarland’s videos are so popular because he ______.
A. designs and creates new styles of shoes
B. tells interesting stories about mending shoes
C. promotes old professions with modern machines
D. shows the detailed process of repairing shoes by hand
42. McFarland’s career as a shoemaker began when ______.
A. he graduated from college B. his family needed his help
C. his video gained popularity D. he found his childhood interest
43. Which of the following words can best describe McFarland?
A. Skillful and devoted. B. Open-minded and creative.
C. Friendly and considerate. D. Hard-working and ambitious.
44 What can we learn from the passage?
A. High quality makes fast fashion. B. Social media challenges tradition.
C. Creativity holds the key to success. D. Mending contributes to eco-fashion.
B
As you craft your resolutions for 2025, consider adding one to experience more flow. Psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has called flow as “the secret to happiness.” Flow is a state of positive experience that each of us can incorporate into our everyday lives, one characterized by great joy that makes a life worth living.
When people feel flow, they are in a state of intense concentration. Their thoughts are focused on an experience rather than on themselves. They lose a sense of time and feel as if their actions and awareness become one. Flow occurs when both the task’s challenge and skill level are high. People will not feel flow when they are doing the dishes. Csíkszentmihályi’s research in the 1970s focused on people doing tasks they enjoyed. He studied swimmers, music composers, dancers, mountain climbers and other athletes. He found out that so long as that task’s challenge is high, and so are your skills, you should be able to achieve flow.
Why is flow “the secret to happiness”? For one thing, the experience can help people pursue their long-term goals. Research shows that taking a break to feel flow can enhance one’s self-control, goal pursuit and well-being. A recent study also shows that flow helps people stay resilient (有适应力的) in the face of difficulty. Part of this is because flow can help refocus thoughts away from something stressful to something enjoyable. In fact, studies have shown that experiencing flow can help guard against depression and burnout.
What is going on in the brain during flow? Studies show that the experience is associated with increasing activation in brain structures related to feeling reward. This may be one reason why flow feels so enjoyable and why people are so focused on tasks that make them feel flow. Research also shows that flow is associated with dampened activity in brain structures related to self-focus and negative thoughts. This may help explain why feeling flow can help distract (转移) people from worry. However, the above-mentioned studies were correlational, not causal. Further study of this connection is vital.
45. According to the passage, flow is most likely to occur when someone is ______.
A. playing chess against a tough opponent B. attending a concert of his favorite singer
C. doing daily chores for his family members D. sharing his traveling experience with friends
46. Flow is called “the secret to happiness” partly because it can help ______.
A. turn demanding tasks into easier ones
B. distract people from negative thoughts
C remind people to take necessary breaks
D. break long-term goals into shorter ones
47. What does the underlined word “dampened” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Planned. B. Imbalanced. C. Reduced. D. Activated.
48. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. When does the state of “flow” occur? B. What happens in our brain during “flow”?
C. Why does experiencing “flow” feel so good? D. How can “flow” be achieved in everyday life?
C
I get that parents worry about screen time. But speaking as a researcher studying the effects of screen-based experiences, screens can be a great tool for reading. Digital books give children unique opportunities to learn and improve skills through literacy apps. To that end, I am one of many researchers in this field who believe that digital reading should not be considered screen time in the traditional sense.
With the large number of educational technological products that lack research and good design, the million-dollar question is: What makes a digital story good for children’s learning? Over the past 20 years, researchers have identified specific design features and reading situations that make some digital books more educational than others. First, it’s crucial that digital books offer high-quality personalized reading experiences. With books that have AI-based text generators and a more open-ended design, children become multimedia creators, co-writers and co-illustrators of their own story universe. Second, digital books can significantly enhance the parent-child reading experience. The questions embedded (嵌入的) in digital books should model and expand what the parent might ask, and through this modeling, enhance the quality of parents’ talk around the book.
But as much as I support digital reading, the commercial turn in the development of ed tech worries me, particularly in relation to profit-driven design and misuse of children’s data. Like some social media, subscription libraries turn kids’ attention into a commodity (商品) through automatic book recommendations. These books are often tied to advertising clicks and exhibit low literary quality in their stories. Furthermore, there’s often no content oversight, allowing anyone to become a publisher, which can lead to the creation of biased or data-gathering materials targeting children. Generative AI has expanded content creation possibilities but also raised concerns about quality. In this regard, digital books, like all ed tech, need strict quality checks and improved collaboration between researchers and developers.
Anyway, the digital reading format has opened an exciting new research frontier. This includes using real-time data that teachers and other professionals can use to individualize how children learn to read. AI can be a good partner in supporting adults’ choice of texts, prompts and reading activities for children, provided it is trained with diverse data and valid reading models. As researchers’ calls for evidence-based children’s ed tech are being heard by governments and funders, I hope the past two decades of e-book research can deliver the advantages of digital books to all children. Like it or not, I hope you’ll see that, at least for reading, screens can be an amazing tool to teach your child to read.
49. What is the author’s attitude towards counting digital reading as screen time?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
50. According to the passage, digital books contribute to ______.
A. more open-ended questions B. quality parent-child interaction
C. personalized design features D. changes in kids’ reading habits
51. What are the major threats to digital reading?
A. Profit-driven design and data misuse. B. The strict checks on the content.
C. The great number of advertisements. D. Low literary quality but high prices.
52. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To highlight the risks of screen time. B. To introduce some advances in ed tech.
C. To offer another view on digital reading. D. To present the benefits of reading online.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后所给的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Features of Modern-Day Heroes: Beyond Superpowers and Capes
In modern society, heroism has evolved (演变) from the traditional idea of a brave or noble character to individuals who show exceptional courage, selflessness, and dedication to a cause. From healthcare workers and first responders to social activists, heroes come in all shapes and forms. ___53___ For this question, we need to examine the various characteristics that make a person a hero and the impact they have on society.
___54___ In ancient myths, heroism was often associated with figures or warriors with superhuman abilities. They were often shown as larger-than-life figures who represented the values and beliefs of their own cultures. As societies became more complex, the definition of heroism also changed.
In the modern world, the term heroism has a much broader meaning. While physical strength and fighting skills are still valued, moral courage, selflessness, and resilience have become just as important. In today’s society, a modern hero can be someone who stands up for his or her beliefs, even if it goes against societal norms, or someone who puts the needs of others before his or her own.
One of the most critical changes in modern heroism is including people from all walks of life. Today, people from various backgrounds and experiences are recognized for their contributions, from first responders who put their lives on the line in emergencies to activists who fight for social justice. ___55___
The rise of social media has also affected how heroism is viewed and celebrated. ___56___ The danger of social media, however, is that it reduces heroism to a popularity contest in which the deeds that are “liked” or “shared” the most are considered particularly heroic. In reality, heroism is much more complex than that.
Although heroism has evolved, it remains an essential aspect of our society. Real heroes remind us that we all have the power to positively impact the world, no matter how big or small our deeds may seem.
Heroism has come a long way since its origins in ancient civilizations. ___57___ However, the true essence (实质) of heroism isn’t popularity or fame but a lasting commitment to serving others and making the world a better place.
A. Modern heroism often takes shape in acts of kindness.
B. Heroism has a long history and varies in different cultures.
C. But what are the defining characteristics of a modern hero?
D. The evolution of heroism reflects the evolution of society itself.
E. Modern heroes exist in every profession and every corner of society.
F. It has given ordinary people a platform to share and get recognized for their heroic deeds.
G. It has expanded to include more people and traits, and social media has expanded its reach.
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,26分)
第一节(共4小题;第58-60小题各2分,第61小题5分,共11分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Most research supports the idea that music’s main benefit for students is the uplift of mood and thus of abilities to concentrate on tasks and study for longer periods of time.
What kind of music are we talking about then? Some Drake? Bach? SpongeBob? What’s the magic song? Again, complicated (复杂). You want something that’s going to drop you right into that sweet spot of what is called medium arousal; a playlist that’s too boring might make you sleepy, while a song that’s too exciting might make it harder for you to focus. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information. Beethoven’s For Elise is an example. Listening to Mozart has also been shown in studies to improve the productivity of its listeners.
There’s quite a bit of controversy on the effectiveness of having music on while you study, even music that puts you in the right mood. A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working.
That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature.
Another similar study, however, found that while average performance was lower for the music-listening group, the variation in individual scores suggests that the effects of the music vary a lot from person to person, and hence why it’s difficult to definitely say whether music helps or hurts.
There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. The brain, actually, doesn’t have the ability to multitask at all. What you think is multitasking is actually just your poor old noodle rapidly switching between everything, but concentrating on nothing. Sad!
58. What kind of songs can be good for keeping information?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. Why is listening to music with lyrics not helpful for study?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
61. Apart from the aspects mentioned in the passage, how can listening to music influence you? (In about 40 words)

62. 假设你是红星中学高一(1)班学生李华。你收到英国笔友Jim的邮件,请你阅读并回复该邮件。
Dear Li Hua,
I have been using AI a lot recently — it’s unbelievable how much it can help. However, I’m also concerned about its potential negative impacts. For example, I worry that depending on it too much might reduce my ability to think independently.
What are your suggestions for me on using AI properly?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Jim

Let’s start by choosing local plant-based diets to reduce the loss of biodiversity. Next, consider sustainable travel options, use public transportation and cycle to cut emissions and support eco-friendly city planning. Moreover, we can make our homes more energy efficient by practicing simple habits by turning off lights when not in use and adjusting heating and cooling systems. When shopping, choose durable and green items and embrace the concept of sharing or repairing goods, rather than throwing them away to minimize waste.
Together, through these mindful actions, we can pave the way for a healthier planet and secure a brighter future for generations to come. Thank you for your attention and commitment to sustainability.

【34题详解】
考查时态。句意:过去几年里,汽油价格上涨引发了人们对拼车的兴趣突然增加。由 over the past few years可知,句中应用现在完成时,主语是复数,助动词应用have,故填have inspired。
【35题详解】
考查介词。句意:共享乘车还意味着参与者驾驶的越少,对环境的积极影响就越大。 it has是省略关系词引导的定语从句,修饰先行词effects,关系词在从句中作has的宾语,即构成短语have effects on,意为“对……有影响”, 故填on。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中德混血学生Leopold参加“走进江苏”项目后的感受。
38题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:当他参观姚建平刺绣画廊时,他被苏绣的惊人之美所吸引。attract(吸引)是句中谓语动词,与主语he之间是被动关系,结合句意和从句时态可知,讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态,又因主语是第三人称单数代词,谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was attracted。
【39题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:真正让他惊讶的是每一针背后的耐心和技巧。“ really amazed him”是主语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“让他惊讶的事情”,用连接代词what引导该从句;句首单词首字母大写。故填What。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:走在古建筑与现代灯光交汇的平江路上,他感受到了苏州难得的魅力。空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Pingjiang Road,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,表示“在平江路上”,应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,34分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2分,共24分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
As a shoe cobbler, Jim McFarland has spent his career with his eyes trained downward on his work. He never expected anyone to care much about his craft. But McFarland, 59, now has more than 1 million followers on social media platform. He posts videos of his work as a cobbler — from replacing thin soles to fixing zippers, reviving (恢复) rubber heels to adding customized touches to timeworn pieces. McFarland breathes new life into seemingly unwearable shoes from his shop in Lakeland, Florida.
Viewers are fascinated by McFarland’s careful cobbling. While he often uses a sanding machine, he does most of the work by hand and with basic tools. In one video, which has been viewed nearly 60 million times, McFarland revives and personalizes a pair of limited-edition boots, painting the soles a deep blue shade. The video shows every step of the painstaking process.
According to McFarland, becoming a cobbler isn’t simple. “It takes three to five years to learn the trade,” said McFarland, who comes from a long line of cobblers. “This is my family heritage, my history. We’ve been at it for a long time.” As a teen, McFarland wasn’t keen on becoming a cobbler. When he was 20, though, his father got sick, and McFarland dropped out of college to help him run the family business. He ultimately took over. “I have no regrets. I really love being here.” McFarland said.
McFarland is an advocate for buying high-quality shoes and mending them as needed, rather than purchasing inexpensive and trendy shoes that tend to not weather well. He said he frequently fixes shoes that are more than 40 years old. When he’s finished with them, “they’ll be good for probably another 30 to 50 years if you take care of them,” he said.
McFarland’s mentality goes in line with the mending movement, which promotes repairing rather than replacing broken things. Unlike fast fashion, which has disastrous consequences for the environment, the mending movement seeks to reduce consumption and waste. “Good material can always be revived,” McFarland said. “It can last a lifetime.”
41. McFarland’s videos are so popular because he ______.
A. designs and creates new styles of shoes
B. tells interesting stories about mending shoes
C. promotes old professions with modern machines
D. shows the detailed process of repairing shoes by hand
42. McFarland’s career as a shoemaker began when ______.
A. he graduated from college B. his family needed his help
C. his video gained popularity D. he found his childhood interest
43. Which of the following words can best describe McFarland?
A. Skillful and devoted. B. Open-minded and creative.
C. Friendly and considerate. D. Hard-working and ambitious.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. High quality makes fast fashion. B. Social media challenges tradition.
C. Creativity holds the key to success. D. Mending contributes to eco-fashion.
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了修鞋匠吉姆·麦克法兰,他在社交媒体上拥有超过100万粉丝。他通过视频分享修鞋技艺,倡导购买高质量鞋子并适时修补,而非频繁购买廉价易损的时尚鞋款。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But McFarland, 59, now has more than 1 million followers on social media platform. He posts videos of his work as a cobbler — from replacing thin soles to fixing zippers, reviving (恢复) rubber heels to adding customized touches to timeworn pieces.”(但现年59岁的麦克法兰现在在社交媒体平台上拥有100多万粉丝。他上传了自己作为鞋匠工作的视频——从更换薄鞋底到修理拉链,从恢复橡胶鞋跟到为破旧的鞋子添加定制的装饰。)和第二段中“Viewers are fascinated by McFarland’s careful cobbling. While he often uses a sanding machine, he does most of the work by hand and with basic tools. In one video, which has been viewed nearly 60 million times, McFarland revives and personalizes a pair of limited-edition boots, painting the soles a deep blue shade.”(观众们被麦克法兰细心修鞋的过程所吸引。虽然他经常使用砂光机,但大部分工作都是用手和基本的工具完成的。在一个已经被观看了近6000万次的视频中,麦克法兰修复并个性化了一双限量版的靴子,把鞋底涂成了深蓝色。)可知,麦克法兰的视频之所以如此受欢迎,是因为他展示了用手修鞋的详细过程。故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When he was 20, though, his father got sick, and McFarland dropped out of college to help him run the family business. He ultimately took over.”(然而,当他20岁的时候,他的父亲生病了,麦克法兰辍学帮助他经营家族生意。他最终接管工作。)可知,当父亲生病,家庭需要他的帮助时,麦克法兰开始了他的修鞋生涯。故选B。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But McFarland, 59, now has more than 1 million followers on social media platform.

I really love being here.” McFarland said.”(他最终接管了公司。“我不后悔。我真的很喜欢在这里。”麦克法兰说。)可推知,麦克法兰热爱自己的修鞋工作。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“McFarland’s mentality goes in line with the mending movement, which promotes repairing rather than replacing broken things. Unlike fast fashion, which has disastrous consequences for the environment, the mending movement seeks to reduce consumption and waste.(麦克法兰的心态与修补运动是一致的,该运动提倡修理破损的东西而不是替换它们。与对环境造成灾难性后果的快时尚不同,修补运动旨在减少消费和浪费。)可推知,修补可以减少消费和浪费,有助于生态时尚。故选D。
B
As you craft your resolutions for 2025, consider adding one to experience more flow. Psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has called flow as “the secret to happiness.” Flow is a state of positive experience that each of us can incorporate into our everyday lives, one characterized by great joy that makes a life worth living.
When people feel flow, they are in a state of intense concentration. Their thoughts are focused on an experience rather than on themselves. They lose a sense of time and feel as if their actions and awareness become one. Flow occurs when both the task’s challenge and skill level are high. People will not feel flow when they are doing the dishes. Csíkszentmihályi’s research in the 1970s focused on people doing tasks they enjoyed. He studied swimmers, music composers, dancers, mountain climbers and other athletes. He found out that so long as that task’s challenge is high, and so are your skills, you should be able to achieve flow.
Why is flow “the secret to happiness”? For one thing, the experience can help people pursue their long-term goals. Research shows that taking a break to feel flow can enhance one’s self-control, goal pursuit and well-being. A recent study also shows that flow helps people stay resilient (有适应力的) in the face of difficulty. Part of this is because flow can help refocus thoughts away from something stressful to something enjoyable. In fact, studies have shown that experiencing flow can help guard against depression and burnout.
What is going on in the brain during flow? Studies show that the experience is associated with increasing activation in brain structures related to feeling reward. This may be one reason why flow feels so enjoyable and why people are so focused on tasks that make them feel flow. Research also shows that flow is associated with dampened activity in brain structures related to self-focus and negative thoughts. This may help explain why feeling flow can help distract (转移) people from worry. However, the above-mentioned studies were correlational, not causal. Further study of this connection is vital.
45. According to the passage, flow is most likely to occur when someone is ______.
A. playing chess against a tough opponent B. attending a concert of his favorite singer
C. doing daily chores for his family members D. sharing his traveling experience with friends
46. Flow is called “the secret to happiness” partly because it can help ______.
A. turn demanding tasks into easier ones
B. distract people from negative thoughts
C. remind people to take necessary breaks

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。心理学家米哈伊·契克森米哈赖将心流称为“幸福的秘诀”。文章主要解释了为什么体验“心流”的感觉这么好。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When people feel flow, they are in a state of intense concentration. Their thoughts are focused on an experience rather than on themselves. They lose a sense of time and feel as if their actions and awareness become one. Flow occurs when both the task’s challenge and skill level are high. (当人们感受到心流时,他们处于高度集中的状态。他们的思想集中在体验上,而不是自己身上。他们失去了时间感,感觉他们的行动和意识融为一体。当任务的挑战性和技能水平都很高时,就会出现心流。)”和“He studied swimmers, music composers, dancers, mountain climbers and other athletes. He found out that so long as that task’s challenge is high, and so are your skills, you should be able to achieve flow.(他研究了游泳运动员、作曲家、舞蹈家、登山者和其他运动员。他发现,只要任务的挑战性很高,你的技能也很高,你就应该能够实现心流)”可知,当人们处于高度集中的状态,思想集中在体验上,而不是自己身上,他们失去了时间感,感觉他们的行动和意识融为一体,当任务的挑战性和技能水平都很高时,人们容易出现心流,结合选项可推知,当某人处于与强大的对手下棋时,最容易出现心流,因为此时人们思想高度集中,任务挑战性和技能水平都很高,故选A。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Part of this is because flow can help refocus thoughts away from something stressful to something enjoyable. In fact, studies have shown that experiencing flow can help guard against depression and burnout.(部分原因是心流可以帮助将注意力从压力转移到愉快的事情上。事实上,研究表明,心流可以帮助预防抑郁和倦怠。)”可知,心流被称为“幸福的秘词诀”,部分原因是它可以分散人们对消极想法的注意力,故选B。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“This may help explain why feeling flow can help distract (转移) people from worry.(这或许可以解释为什么感觉心流可以帮助人们转移注意力)”以及划线单词所在句中“Research also shows that flow is associated with dampened activity in brain structures related to self-focus and negative thoughts.(研究还表明,心流与大脑结构中与自我关注和消极思想相关的活动dampened有关。)”可知,心流可以帮助人们转移注意力,这是因为心流能使大脑结构中与自我关注和消极思想相关的活动减弱,由此可知,划线单词意为“减弱的”,故选C。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has called flow as “the secret to happiness.” Flow is a state of positive experience that each of us can incorporate into our everyday lives, one characterized by great joy that makes a life worth living.(心理学家米哈伊·契克森米哈赖将心流称为“幸福的秘诀”。心流是一种积极体验的状态,我们每个人都可以将其融入到日常生活中,这种状态的特点是极大的快乐,让生活变得有价值)”可知,文章主要解释了为什么体验“心流”的感觉这么好,C项“为什么体验‘心流’的感觉这么好?”适合作文章标题,故选C。
C
I get that parents worry about screen time. But speaking as a researcher studying the effects of screen-based experiences, screens can be a great tool for reading. Digital books give children unique opportunities to learn and improve skills through literacy apps. To that end, I am one of many researchers in this field who believe that digital reading should not be considered screen time in the traditional sense.
With the large number of educational technological products that lack research and good design, the million-dollar question is: What makes a digital story good for children’s learning? Over the past 20 years, researchers have identified specific design features and reading situations that make some digital books more educational than others. First, it’s crucial that digital books offer high-quality personalized reading experiences. With books that have AI-based text generators and a more open-ended design, children become multimedia creators, co-writers and co-illustrators of their own story universe. Second, digital books can significantly enhance the parent-child reading experience. The questions embedded (嵌入的) in digital books should model and expand what the parent might ask, and through this modeling, enhance the quality of parents’ talk around the book.
But as much as I support digital reading, the commercial turn in the development of ed tech worries me, particularly in relation to profit-driven design and misuse of children’s data. Like some social media, subscription libraries turn kids’ attention into a commodity (商品) through automatic book recommendations. These books are often tied to advertising clicks and exhibit low literary quality in their stories. Furthermore, there’s often no content oversight, allowing anyone to become a publisher, which can lead to the creation of biased or data-gathering materials targeting children. Generative AI has expanded content creation possibilities but also raised concerns about quality. In this regard, digital books, like all ed tech, need strict quality checks and improved collaboration between researchers and developers.
Anyway, the digital reading format has opened an exciting new research frontier. This includes using real-time data that teachers and other professionals can use to individualize how children learn to read. AI can be a good partner in supporting adults’ choice of texts, prompts and reading activities for children, provided it is trained with diverse data and valid reading models. As researchers’ calls for evidence-based children’s ed tech are being heard by governments and funders, I hope the past two decades of e-book research can deliver the advantages of digital books to all children. Like it or not, I hope you’ll see that, at least for reading, screens can be an amazing tool to teach your child to read.
49. What is the author’s attitude towards counting digital reading as screen time?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
50. According to the passage, digital books contribute to ______.
A. more open-ended questions B. quality parent-child interaction
C. personalized design features D. changes in kids’ reading habits
51. What are the major threats to digital reading?
A. Profit-driven design and data misuse. B. The strict checks on the content.
C. The great number of advertisements. D. Low literary quality but high prices.
52. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To highlight the risks of screen time. B. To introduce some advances in ed tech.
C. To offer another view on digital reading. D. To present the benefits of reading online.
【答案】49. D 50. B 51. A 52. C

Features of Modern-Day Heroes: Beyond Superpowers and Capes
In modern society, heroism has evolved (演变) from the traditional idea of a brave or noble character to individuals who show exceptional courage, selflessness, and dedication to a cause. From healthcare workers and first responders to social activists, heroes come in all shapes and forms. ___53___ For this question, we need to examine the various characteristics that make a person a hero and the impact they have on society.
___54___ In ancient myths, heroism was often associated with figures or warriors with superhuman abilities. They were often shown as larger-than-life figures who represented the values and beliefs of their own cultures. As societies became more complex, the definition of heroism also changed.
In the modern world, the term heroism has a much broader meaning. While physical strength and fighting skills are still valued, moral courage, selflessness, and resilience have become just as important. In today’s society, a modern hero can be someone who stands up for his or her beliefs, even if it goes against societal norms, or someone who puts the needs of others before his or her own.
One of the most critical changes in modern heroism is including people from all walks of life. Today, people from various backgrounds and experiences are recognized for their contributions, from first responders who put their lives on the line in emergencies to activists who fight for social justice. ___55___
The rise of social media has also affected how heroism is viewed and celebrated. ___56___ The danger of social media, however, is that it reduces heroism to a popularity contest in which the deeds that are “liked” or “shared” the most are considered particularly heroic. In reality, heroism is much more complex than that.
Although heroism has evolved it remains an essential aspect of our society. Real heroes remind us that we all have the power to positively impact the world, no matter how big or small our deeds may seem.
Heroism has come a long way since its origins in ancient civilizations. ___57___ However, the true essence (实质) of heroism isn’t popularity or fame but a lasting commitment to serving others and making the world a better place.
A. Modern heroism often takes shape in acts of kindness.
B. Heroism has a long history and varies in different cultures.
C. But what are the defining characteristics of a modern hero?
D. The evolution of heroism reflects the evolution of society itself.
E. Modern heroes exist in every profession and every corner of society.
F. It has given ordinary people a platform to share and get recognized for their heroic deeds.
G. It has expanded to include more people and traits, and social media has expanded its reach.
【答案】53. C 54. D 55. E 56. F 57. G
【解析】

【54题详解】
根据下文“In ancient myths, heroism was often associated with figures or warriors with superhuman abilities. They were often shown as larger-than-life figures who represented the values and beliefs of their own cultures.

【55题详解】
根据上文“One of the most critical changes in modern heroism is including people from all walks of life. Today, people from various backgrounds and experiences are recognized for their contributions, from first responders who put their lives on the line in emergencies to activists who fight for social justice.(现代英雄主义最重要的变化之一是包括各行各业的人。今天,来自不同背景和经历的人们因他们的贡献而受到认可,从在紧急情况下冒着生命危险的第一响应者到为社会正义而斗争的活动家)”可知,本段主要讲述现代的英雄可以是各行各业的人,E项“现代英雄存在于各行各业,存在于社会的各个角落”符合语境。故选E。
【56题详解】
上文“The rise of social media has also affected how heroism is viewed and celebrated.(社交媒体的兴起也影响了人们看待和庆祝英雄主义的方式)”提到社交媒体对英雄主义的影响,下文“The danger of social media, however…(然而,社交媒体的危险在于……)”出现转折,讲述社交媒体的危险,故空处承接上文,说明社交媒体的积极影响,F项“它为普通人提供了一个分享和认可他们英雄事迹的平台”符合语境。故选F。
【57题详解】
空处位于尾段,应是总结性的内容;结合上文“Heroism has come a long way since its origins in ancient civilizations.(自从英雄主义起源于古代文明以来,它已经走过了漫长的道路)”可知,G项“它已经扩展到包括更多的人和特征,社交媒体也扩大了它的影响范围”符合语境,总结上文内容,故选G。
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,26分)
第一节(共4小题;第58-60小题各2分,第61小题5分,共11分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Most research supports the idea that music’s main benefit for students is the uplift of mood and thus of abilities to concentrate on tasks and study for longer periods of time.
What kind of music are we talking about then? Some Drake? Bach? SpongeBob? What’s the magic song? Again, complicated (复杂). You want something that’s going to drop you right into that sweet spot of what is called medium arousal; a playlist that’s too boring might make you sleepy, while a song that’s too exciting might make it harder for you to focus. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information. Beethoven’s For Elise is an example. Listening to Mozart has also been shown in studies to improve the productivity of its listeners.
There’s quite a bit of controversy on the effectiveness of having music on while you study, even music that puts you in the right mood. A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working.
That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature.
Another similar study, however, found that while average performance was lower for the music-listening group, the variation in individual scores suggests that the effects of the music vary a lot from person to person, and hence why it’s difficult to definitely say whether music helps or hurts.
There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. The brain, actually, doesn’t have the ability to multitask at all. What you think is multitasking is actually just your poor old noodle rapidly switching between everything, but concentrating on nothing. Sad!
58. What kind of songs can be good for keeping information?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. Why is listening to music with lyrics not helpful for study?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
61. Apart from the aspects mentioned in the passage, how can listening to music influence you? (In about 40 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】58. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute.
59. Because processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of our brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing.
60. 此题接受两种答案:
▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best (students performed worse) when they were exposed to music.
The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature).
61. Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience.
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章属于说明文。文章主要探讨了音乐对学生学习的影响,指出音乐的益处主要在于提升情绪和集中注意力,但效果因人而异。同时强调有歌词的音乐会干扰语言处理任务。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information.(每分钟60-70拍的歌曲被认为有助于记忆信息)”可知,每分钟60-70拍的歌曲有助于记忆信息。故答案为Songs with 60-70 beats per minute.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing.(至少有一件事似乎是一致的,那就是带歌词的音乐绝对是不允许的。处理歌词意味着你大脑的语言处理部分没有空间来处理其他任务,尤其是当这涉及到阅读或写作时)”可知,听有歌词的音乐时,大脑的语言处理部分就没有空间来处理其他任务,这种音乐对学习没有帮助。故答案为Because processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of our brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing.
【60题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working.(威尔士大学进行的一项研究发现,当学生听自己喜欢和不喜欢的音乐时,他们在考试中的表现总是更差,这意味着听音乐,不管它让学生感觉如何,被发现就像在你工作时有人和你说话一样分散注意力)”可知,威尔士大学的研究发现学生听音乐时,他们在考试中的表现总是很差;同时根据第四段“That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature.(同一项研究还发现,在一个完全安静的环境中,当学生听到重复的声音或自然的声音时,他们的表现也最好)”可知,研究发现听到重复的声音或自然的声音时,学生们的表现很好。所以给定句子可以有两种修改方式:1.把students performed best改为students performed worse;2.把when they were exposed to music改为when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature。故答案为The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best (students performed worse) when they were exposed to music.
The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature).
【61题详解】
考查推理判断题。结合个人经验,音乐除了在提升情绪和帮助集中注意力方面能给我带来影响外,它还可以帮助我建立社会联系。音乐有时比语言更能说明问题,我发现和对音乐有相似兴趣的人交朋友很容易。在某种程度上,音乐将人们聚集在一起,创造一种社区意识和共享体验。故答案为Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience.
第二节(15分)
62. 假设你是红星中学高一(1)班学生李华。你收到英国笔友Jim的邮件,请你阅读并回复该邮件。
Dear Li Hua,
I have been using AI a lot recently — it’s unbelievable how much it can help. However, I’m also concerned about its potential negative impacts. For example, I worry that depending on it too much might reduce my ability to think independently.
What are your suggestions for me on using AI properly?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Jim
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Jim,
I understand your worries and concerns. AI can help us in ways we cannot even imagine, but it also has the potential to overshadow our independent thinking if we rely on it too much.
To get the most out of AI while remaining independent thinkers, I think we need to adopt a few approaches. Firstly, use AI for repetitive tasks that call for a lot of energy but do not require creativity. This will allow us to give more time to intellectually challenging tasks. Also, we need to maintain a critical mindset, always questioning the information presented by AI and not accepting it at face value.
Anyway, AI is already part of our life, and we need to learn to work in harmony with it. What do you think?
Best,
Li Hua
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you, and I’m glad to know AI is helping with your learning.
To enjoy the benefits of AI while minimizing risks, first, use AI as a supplementary tool rather than a primary source. This way, you can enhance your learning without becoming overly dependent on it, ensuring you still engage in critical thinking. Second, balance AI usage with traditional study methods by setting specific times for AI use and others for manual learning. This approach will help you maintain and strengthen your independent problem-solving skills and cognitive abilities.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Looking forward to hearing how they work out for you!
Best,
Li Hua

【详解】考查固定短语和时态。中英文对照可知,此空为“基于”表达为固定短语be based on。在there may be an aspect of it that...truth这个句子中,that引导定语从句,指代先行词an aspect,在从句中作主语,为单数概念,结合语境,陈述客观事实,句子时态为一般现在时,所以be动词用is 。故填is based on。
