B.It was depressing. C.It still held the same bad reputation. D.It would be her only commuting option. 25.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？（　　） A.The diversity of New Yorkers’ daily life. B.The inspiration for Nannini’s subway shots. C.The popularity of “End of the Line” challenge. D.The challenges of Nannini’s job as a photographer. 26.What can we infer from Nannini’s “End of the Line” experience？（　　） A.Her way of telling stories is traditional. B.She expressed sympathy for the subway riders. C.Her photography is highly expected by the encounters. D.She found life on tracks was more interesting than life on wheels. 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text？（　　） A.“End of the Line” Challenge：A New Trend in NY Subways B.The Road Home：Rita Nannini’s Record of Her Subway Ride C.Last Stop to New Start：A Photographer’s Rediscovery of NY Subways D.New Yorkers’ Routine：A Surprising Mixture of Boredom and Excitement B 　（2025·安徽江南十校联考）It has become as much a part of our daily lives as getting our to-go coffee： the screen turn.It’s the moment when you’ve ordered your coffee， and the barista （咖啡师） turns the payment screen toward you with a dialog box asking you for a tip. 　Tipping is on the rise across the US as more and more businesses have started asking for a little extra： fast food restaurants， grocery stores， online stores， stadiums， and even self-checkout machines are now asking for a tip these days. 　Social media is filled with people who are confused about tipping.One woman posted a video online after being asked to tip for her Subway sandwich.“Do we tip at Subway？” she asks.“Is that a thing？ Tell me！” Another woman has also expressed shock over being asked to tip at a self-checkout station at an airport.“I don’t want to be the person who doesn’t tip，” she says.“But who am I tipping？” 　Sean Jung， a professor at Boston University， realized tipping had fundamentally changed when he was grabbing a take-out burrito （玉米馅饼） one afternoon.Jung was getting ready to pay， when the cashier turned the screen around， asking for a tip.“Suddenly， I’m looking at this screen， and I’m literally pressing a 20% tip for a burrito，” Jung recalls.“I remember thinking this is strange.You would never expect to pay a tip at a quick service restaurant.” 　How， exactly， did we get to the place where we’re tipping 20% for our takeout burritos？ “It goes back to the pandemic，” says Shubhranshu Singh， a professor at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.He says during the pandemic， we started tipping more than usual as a way to support essential workers at a time of crisis.“The pandemic went away，” says Singh， “but the tips didn’t.” 28.The barista’s purpose of turning the screen is 　　　　.（　　） A.to show some commercials B.to promote new coffee options C.to speed up the ordering process D.to require extra money 29.What caused the two women’s confusion in Paragraph 3？（　　） A.They were not used to tipping. B.They had no idea how much to tip. C.They didn’t see the necessity of tipping. D.They didn’t receive good service. 30.Why did the pandemic make people tip more？（　　） A.Customers had more available money. B.Customers used more remote payments. C.Customers were more grateful for the service. D.Customers expected the crisis to be over soon. 31.What would be a suitable title for the text？（　　） A.Tipping Culture Going out of Control B.Online Videos about Tipping C.An Academic Look into Tipping Culture D.Reasons Why We Should Tip More C From beautiful bronze(青铜) wine cups to grand bronze ding(food containers)，this exhibition features discoveries that will fundamentally change visitors’ understanding of ancient Chinese civilization. At about the same time that Stonehenge was rising in England，a Bronze Age culture was developing in China that in many respects was seldom equaled and never surpassed.This development seemed to have begun by 1600 BCE in the Shang (about 1600 BCE—1046 BCE) along the Yellow River.For thousands of years，this area had witnessed cultures of increasing complexity，which laid the foundation of the Chinese civilization.By the time of the Bronze Age，this culture was characterized by a strong centralized government，urban communities with obvious social classes，a distinctive system of writing，strict religious rituals，diversified art forms，and advanced bronze-producing methods. Unlike other cultures，where bronze was first used chiefly for tools and weapons，in China，bronze was used to make vessels(容器) that played central roles in official ceremonies and ancestor worship for more than 1,000 years，even after the official beginnings of the Iron Age in 400 BCE.Possession of bronze vessels thus became a symbol for the holding of power and rulers used bronze cups and food containers to present offerings of food and wine to royal ancestors. During Shang times，wine played a major part in such ceremonies，and containers for wine therefore far outnumbered other types.Then，the Shang were criticized for too much wine drinking，which gave the Zhou，Shang’s enemy，the right to overthrow the Shang.Safeguarding its own dynasty，the Zhou replaced the wine vessels with more practical cooking and storage tools. After the Shang period，bronze vessels became more important as expressions of personal status than as vehicles for official ceremonies.This is evident from the changing content of bronze inscriptions.Carved into the surface of a vessel，these writings first appeared during the late Shang period as an identification of the vessel’s owner or of the ancestor to whom it was dedicated.During the Western Zhou period，inscriptions became increasingly common and lengthier，praising the achievements of the owners. 32．What was happening in China by the time Stonehenge was rising in England? A. The Chinese had yet to invent their writing system. B．China was still relatively backward in many respects. C．China had already had a strong centralized government. D．Social classes just started to emerge in the Chinese cities. 33．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The main applications of bronze in China. B．The complex official ceremonies in China. C．The significance of the discovery of bronze. D．The differences between China and other countries. 34．Which of the following most probably belongs to the Zhou? A. Huge bronze ding with short religious texts. B．Bronze vessels showing the kings’ achievements. C．An unearthed tomb with lots of bronze wine cups. D．An ancient kitchen with lots of bronze cooking pots. 35．From which is the text most probably taken? A．A science report. B．An exhibit brochure. C．A history textbook. D．A research paper. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Have you ever changed jobs or moved to an unfamiliar city，only to find yourself wondering how to connect with new people？ 36 However，a connection is a part of what it means to be human.When we do it well，our lives are far more fulfilling.Here are a few tips to help you build and strengthen connections with people. Be your real self. You can’t go wrong with being yourself.Pretending to be someone you aren’t can lead your relationships to be built on lies and cause confusion in the future. 37 They forget that being themselves is how they make genuine connections. Respect people’s boundaries. It’s likely that when you get to know someone new，you’ll discover their limits quickly.In order to build a meaningful relationship with that person，you must respect the boundaries. 38 Otherwise，the connection will be killed. Move past the surface level. Meaningful connections move past the basics of small talk.Yes，the first time you meet someone，you can cover surface-level facts. 39 What are their values? What types of goals do they have for the future? What are their biggest hopes and dreams? These are all questions that give more insight into who they are and how we can connect with them. 40 One of the best ways to learn how to connect with other people is learning to be present.And don’t just be present mentally.Use your body language to show that they have your full attention.If you aren’t facing the person who’s speaking，they won’t feel like you care about connecting with them. A．Stay focused on the present. B．Be genuine with your admiration. C．Building relationships can be tough. D．Don’t push them to share things that they don’t want to.
