Filters can make people look more beautiful and even add funny effects (效果). However, TikTok is making some changes. In November 2024, TikTok said that users under 18 won’t be able to use beauty filters that change their features in ways makeup (化妆) can’t. But don’t worry, funny filters like animal ears will still be allowed. Why the change? Beauty filters can hurt people’s mental health, according to the BBC. A UK-based group called 5 Rights found that 34 percent of girls aged 11 to 21 won’t post a photo unless they edit (编辑) how they look. Another report from Dove, a beauty brand, found that 48 percent of girls who often edit their photos feel worse about their bodies. Seeing these edited images (形象) all the time can make it hard for young people to tell what’s real. They might start to think that perfect edited images are normal, which can change how they see the world. Jessica Chalmers, an online child safety expert, said that TikTok’s move is “a step in the right direction”. The ban (禁令) only works if users have accounts (账号) with their real ages. However, not everyone under 18 has given TikTok their real age. To help with this, TikTok is testing smart technology to look at things like” happy birthday” messages to guess ages. 21. What change did TikTok make in November 2024? A. It stopped children from using the app. B. It stopped the use of filters on the app. C. It banned beauty filters for users under 18. D. It updated its collection of funny filters. 22. Why did TikTok make the change? A. To improve young people’s mental health. B. To keep young people away from screens. C. To make more girls interested in the app. D. To help beauty brands sell more make-up. 23. What is Jessica Chalmers’ attitude toward the change? A. She has no idea. B. She disagrees. C. She agrees. D. She says nothing. 24. According to the last paragraph, how will TikTok make its change work? A. By sending messages to its users. B. By guiding its users by their interests. C. By using smart technology to get its users’ real ages. D. By putting an end to some of its users’ accounts. 25. This passage is probably taken from a ________. A. tour guide B. novel C. storybook D. magazine 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. C 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了TikTok在2024年11月针对18岁以下用户禁止使用美化滤镜的政策调整，并分析了这一举措对青少年心理健康的影响及平台的具体实施方式。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“TikTok said that users under 18 won’t be able to use beauty filters that change their features in ways makeup can’t”可知，TikTok禁止18岁以下用户使用超出化妆效果的美颜滤镜。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Beauty filters can hurt people’s mental health”及后文数据 (34%的女孩不修图不发照片，48%的女孩因修图对身体更不满意) 可知，此举旨在改善青少年心理健康。故选A。 【23题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第四段Jessica Chalmers的评价“a step in the right direction”可知，她认为这一举措是积极的。故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“TikTok is testing smart technology to look at things like ‘happy birthday’ messages to guess ages”可知，平台通过智能技术推测用户真实年龄以确保政策落地。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。全文围绕TikTok政策调整展开，结合数据引用和专家观点，符合杂志文章的特征 (时效性、分析性)。故选D。 C It is said that doing physical exercise can make our brain work better, but I wanted to know if that was true. Maybe it could be the answer to getting good grades at school. To find out about it, we decided to make a memory (记忆力) test. We took 25 different things from around the house and covered them up with a towel (毛巾). Next, we asked eight of our friends to take a test. We took away the towel and gave them one minute to look at the things. When the minute was up, we covered the things again and asked them to write down as many things as they could remember. Then we made our friends into two groups. One group sat down and played easy chess games. We called it “TEAM SIT”. The other group went out for a few miles. We named it “TEAM MOVE”. At the same time, we put new things in the test. After 10 minutes, both teams took a second test with the new things. We graded all the tests, giving one point for each right answer. Then we watched how each team’s score changed. The TEAM SIT’s average (平均) score went down by 2 points. The other team’s average score went up by 4 points. The difference wasn’t too big. But the team that exercised had better memory test scores. So next time, I might go out and take a long run before I study for a test! 26. What is the meaning of “physical exercise” in paragraph 1? A. 物理练习 B. 体育课 C. 心理测试 D. 体育锻炼 27. The writer made friends into two groups because of ________. A. the time they used B. the activities they did C. the game they played D. the things they remembered 28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The way to get good grades. B. How to do well in physical exercises. C. If doing physical exercise is good for our brain. D. Why should students do physical exercise. 29 What’s the structure (结构) of the text? A. B. C. D. 30. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Playing board games is good for our memory. B. The answer to getting good grades is to work hard. C. It is necessary to do physical exercise. D. The writer will not take a long run before he studies for a test. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 29. D 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过实验探讨了体育锻炼对大脑记忆力的影响，发现运动后的人记忆力测试成绩更好。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第1段“doing physical exercise can make our brain work better”可知，“physical exercise”指的是能让大脑运作更好的活动。结合选项，D项“体育锻炼”最符合语境。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Then we made our friends into two groups… One group sat down… The other group went out…”可知，分组依据是两组进行的活动不同（坐着下棋vs外出运动）。故选B。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“To find out about it”及第1段“It is said that doing physical exercise can make our brain work better, but I wanted to know if that was true.”可知，据说体育锻炼可以使我们的大脑更好地工作，但我想知道这是不是真的。“it”指代前文“体育锻炼是否对大脑有益”的疑问。故选C。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第1段提出体育锻炼能使我们的大脑更好地工作，引出主题；第2、3、4段具体介绍了记忆测试实验；第5段呼吁人们进行体育锻炼，因此本文属于“总分总”结构，选项D图示符合题意。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第4段“the team that exercised had better memory test scores”及最后1段作者决定“take a long run before study”可推知，体育锻炼对提升记忆力有必要性。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience.

Is it possible for the weak to win over the strong? Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) might give us an answer. Water is the ____36____ thing in nature, but Laozi spoke highly of it. He said the softness of water does not mean weakness, but it shows a spirit of never giving up. ____37____ with hard stones, water is much weaker.

Compared 38. nothing 39. choose 40. until 41. last 42. win 43. Similarly 44. strength 45. successful 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过水的柔软却能击穿石头的例子，以及历史人物勾践和刘邦的故事，阐述了弱者通过坚持和策略也能战胜强者的道理。 【36题详解】 句意：水是自然界中最柔软的东西，老子对水评价很高。结合下文“the softness of water”和备选词汇可知，此处是指水是柔软的东西；soft“柔软的”，形容词；根据空后“in nature”可知，此处是在自然界范围内进行比较，应用最高级softest。故填softest。 【37题详解】 句意：与坚硬的石头相比，水要弱得多。结合下文“water is much weaker”和备选词汇可知，此处是指水与石头相比较；compare“比较”，动词；分析句子结构可知，句子谓语为is，因此这里应用非谓语动词形式；句子主语water与动词compare之间是被动关系，所以这里应用过去分词compared作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Compared。 【38题详解】 句意：所以没有什么可以代替水来打败坚硬和强壮。结合上文“However, with continued hard work over time, even water drops can break through hard rock.”可知，此处表示没有什么东西能替代柔弱的水；nothing“没有什么”，代词，在句中作主语。故填nothing。 【39题详解】 句意：水提醒我们，一旦我们选择了我们的目标，我们需要坚持我们的计划。结合“we need to stick to our plan”和备选词汇可知，此处是指选择了目标，就要坚持下去；choose“选择”，动词；又根据“need to”可知，此处应用一般现在时，主语是we，谓语动词用原形。故填choose。 【40题详解】 句意：即使我们的竞争对手很难打败，那些坚持到最后的人仍然可以脱颖而出，笑到最后。分析句子可知缺少连词，根据“keep going…the end”和备选词汇可知，此处指坚持到最后，until“直到”，符合语境。故填until。 【41题详解】 句意：即使我们的竞争对手很难打败，那些坚持到最后的人仍然可以脱颖而出，笑到最后。结合“keep going ... the end can still come out on top”可知，此处是指坚持到最后的人会笑到最后；last“最后的”，形容词，符合语境。故填last。 【42题详解】 句意：如果你是比较强大的，不要太骄傲，因为任何比你弱的人都有赢的可能。此处缺少动词原形，根据“anyone weaker than you still has a possibility to”和备选词汇可知，比你弱的人，也可能赢，win“成功”，不定式to后接动词原形。故填win。 【43题详解】 句意：同样，汉武帝刘邦一开始也没有在虚弱的时候与项羽作战。根据“King Goujian of Yue hid his true feelings to meet the unreasonable orders of Fuchai, the king of Wu, and later beat Wu.”和“Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty didn’t fight Xiang Yu in the beginning when he was weak.”可知，前后两个例子都是一样的，此处表示“同样地”；应用形容词similar的副词形式similarly“相似地”在句中作状语，修饰整个句子，且位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Similarly。 【44题详解】 句意：然而，随着时间推移，他积累了自己的力量，并在最后的战争中击败了项羽的军队。结合“beat Xiang Yu’s army in the final war”可知，此处是指积累了力量，终于击败了项羽；又根据空前形容词性物主代词his可知，这里应用形容词strong的名词形式strength“力量”作宾语，不可数名词，符合语境。故填strength。 【45题详解】 句意：这些历史人物告诉我们，为了取得成功，我们应该保持积极的思想，始终专注于我们的目标。结合“we should keep a positive thought and always stay focused on our goals”可知，此处是指为了成功，我们应该积极、专注自己的目标；应用动词succeed的形容词形式successful“成功的”作表语。故填successful。 四、读写结合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求) The Yangtze River is the most important river in China.

At the beginning, the book was not written for all people but for a little girl. On a summer day, the writer Carroll made a short trip up the Thames River and told the story of Alice. The young girl falls down a rabbit hole and goes on unimaginable adventures into a wonderland. Peter Pan Writer: J.M. Barrie in Scotland Price: ¥15 (in bookstores) ¥12 (online) It is a children’s story full of imagination and adventures which is about Wendy Joan and Michael Darling’s adventures in Never Land with Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up. The children are happy and lovely. (with 2 tapes) Uncle Tom’s Cabin Writer: Harriet Beecher Stowe Price: ¥20 (in bookstores) ¥16 (online) As the most famous novel in American history, Uncle Tom’s Cabin talks about the fight between free states and slave states during the American Civil War and is as popular today as when it first came out more than 150 years ago. The Secret Garden Writer: Frances Hodgson Burnett in America Price: ¥35 (in bookstores) ¥30 (online) Mary Lennox, a sick girl, finds herself in her uncle’s dark house. Why are so many rooms locked? And what is that crying she hears at night? Through the power of hope, friendship, and the magic of nature, the brave girl brings the house and a long-lost garden back to life. 16. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is about ________. A a clear river near Lewis Carroll’s house B. a short trip up the Thames River C. a wonderful summer in England D. an amazing experience of Alice 17. According to the passage, we can see ________. A. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was written about one and a half centuries (世纪) ago B. The Secret Garden is the cheapest of four C. Peter Pan tells a story about four sad boys D. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is with 2 tapes 18. Among the four books, which one can we enjoy the sound besides reading it if you buy one? A. Peter Pan. B. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. C. Uncle Tom’s Cabin. D. The Secret Garden. 19. If Lucy wants to buy four of the books online instead of in the bookstores, how much can she save? A. ¥30. B. ¥20. C. ¥17. D. ¥27. 20. The purpose of this passage is to ________. A. tell the children how to begin an adventure B. provide some ads about cartoon movies C. offer some information about books D. teach how to write stories for kids B Using filters (滤镜) is common among young people on social media. Filters can make people look more beautiful and even add funny effects (效果). However, TikTok is making some changes. In November 2024, TikTok said that users under 18 won’t be able to use beauty filters that change their features in ways makeup (化妆) can’t. But don’t worry, funny filters like animal ears will still be allowed. Why the change? Beauty filters can hurt people’s mental health, according to the BBC. A UK-based group called 5 Rights found that 34 percent of girls aged 11 to 21 won’t post a photo unless they edit (编辑) how they look. Another report from Dove, a beauty brand, found that 48 percent of girls who often edit their photos feel worse about their bodies. Seeing these edited images (形象) all the time can make it hard for young people to tell what’s real. They might start to think that perfect, edited images are normal, which can change how they see the world. Jessica Chalmers, an online child safety expert, said that TikTok’s move is “a step in the right direction”. The ban (禁令) only works if users have accounts (账号) with their real ages. However, not everyone under 18 has given TikTok their real age. To help with this, TikTok is testing smart technology to look at things like” happy birthday” messages to guess ages. 21. What change did TikTok make in November 2024? A. It stopped children from using the app. B. It stopped the use of filters on the app. C. It banned beauty filters for users under 18. D. It updated its collection of funny filters. 22. Why did TikTok make the change? A. To improve young people’s mental health. B. To keep young people away from screens. C. To make more girls interested in the app. D. To help beauty brands sell more make-up. 23 What is Jessica Chalmers’ attitude toward the change? A. She has no idea. B. She disagrees. C. She agrees. D. She says nothing. 24. According to the last paragraph, how will TikTok make its change work? A. By sending messages to its users. B. By guiding its users by their interests. C. By using smart technology to get its users’ real ages. D. By putting an end to some of its users’ accounts. 25. This passage is probably taken from a ________. A. tour guide B. novel C. storybook D. magazine C It is said that doing physical exercise can make our brain work better, but I wanted to know if that was true. Maybe it could be the answer to getting good grades at school. To find out about it, we decided to make a memory (记忆力) test. We took 25 different things from around the house and covered them up with a towel (毛巾). Next, we asked eight of our friends to take a test. We took away the towel and gave them one minute to look at the things. When the minute was up, we covered the things again and asked them to write down as many things as they could remember. Then we made our friends into two groups. One group sat down and played easy chess games. We called it “TEAM SIT”. The other group went out for a few miles. We named it “TEAM MOVE”. At the same time, we put new things in the test. After 10 minutes, both teams took a second test with the new things. We graded all the tests giving one point for each right answer. Then we watched how each team’s score changed. The TEAM SIT’s average (平均) score went down by 2 points. The other team’s average score went up by 4 points. The difference wasn’t too big. But the team that exercised had better memory test scores. So next time, I might go out and take a long run before I study for a test! 26. What is the meaning of “physical exercise” in paragraph 1? A. 物理练习 B. 体育课 C. 心理测试 D. 体育锻炼 27. The writer made friends into two groups because of ________. A. the time they used B. the activities they did C. the game they played D. the things they remembered 28. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The way to get good grades. B. How to do well in physical exercises. C If doing physical exercise is good for our brain. D. Why should students do physical exercise. 29. What’s the structure (结构) of the text? A. B. C. D. 30. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Playing board games is good for our memory. B. The answer to getting good grades is to work hard. C. It is necessary to do physical exercise. D. The writer will not take a long run before he studies for a test. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) Loneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience.
