She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work. Gracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors,familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East. Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over £ 150,000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her. Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard (危险, 风险) she was running would scare her away from the fight. The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to resign rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights. Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin. Carrie Gracie’s dispute with the BBC isn’t about money — it’s about dignity! 36. What do you know about Carrie Gracie? A. She is very strict with her office colleagues. B. She has a good command of China’s affairs. C. She was working together with Jon Sopel. D. She has a reputation of covering sports news. 37. What does Carrie Gracie demand of the BBC? A. Equal pay for equal work. B. Better pay for more work. C. Apology for misconducts. D. Response to her complaint. 38. We can infer from the passage that the BBC . A. didn’t promise Gracie equal pay with her male colleagues B. dismissed Carrie Gracie due to her demand for higher pay C. was forced to pay Gracie equal pay for doing the equal work D. kept the pay of its familiar names secret before last summer 39. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply? A. Carrie Gracie values her reputation as a journalist more than financial gain. B. Carrie Gracie’s struggle for equal pay is essentially a fight for her professional integrity. C. Carrie Gracie believes that fair pay and good journalism are equally important. D. Carrie Gracie wants to be remembered for her journalism rather than her pay dispute. 40. What is the author’s attitude towards the BBC? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Cautious. B In the ancient walled city of Sana’a, mud skyscrapers rise high into the sky. The towering structures are built entirely out of earth and decorated with amazing geometric patterns. The local mud architecture is so unique that the city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. “As an outstanding example of architecture reflecting the spatial (空间的) characteristics of the early years, the city in its landscape has an extraordinary artistic quality,” UNESCO writes in its description of Sana’a. “The buildings also show exceptional craftsmanship (工艺) in the use of local materials and techniques.” Even though the buildings in Sana’a are thousands of years old, the ancient structures are still inhabited today and most remain private houses. It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal—they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. Architects around the world are reviving (复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat. Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes? The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Concrete, a common modern construction material, has a huge carbon footprint. Replacing concrete with less polluting materials is important to achieving our climate goals, scientists warn. The ancient material, mud, could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete, according to Damluji. Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable, she says. “If you want to pull down a wall or change the design, you can recycle all the materials.” An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces the need for air conditioning units, which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions. Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather, such as heatwaves, floods and droughts, which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise. Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design. 41. According to the first two paragraphs, buildings in Sana’a are “unique” because . A. they are tall and tower over the entire city B. their geometric patterns create artistic feelings C. they are beautifully crafted with local resources D. their fascinating history has attracted many tourists 42. Which of the following is TRUE about mud materials according to the passage? A. They can reduce the chance of extreme weather events. B. They can be ideal for sustainable construction of the future. C. They might produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. D. They might cause substantial temperature changes. 43. It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. mud might be an important solution to the climate crisis B. the mud buildings in Sana’a are no longer suitable to live C. rebuilding mud construction would take great efforts D. mud has become the favourite material of architects 44. What’s the author’s attitude towards raw-earth construction in the building industry? A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Supportive. 45. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Historic Cities Mark Human Civilization B. Construction Industry Threaten Climate Goals C. Modern Architecture Survive Extreme Weather D. Ancient Material Make for Future House Designs C In an era where digital connectivity has reached unexceptional levels, a paradoxical (矛盾的) phenomenon has emerged: the more technologically interconnected society becomes, the more socially isolated individuals feel. Studies indicate that despite the expansion of social media platforms, messaging apps, and virtual communication tools, loneliness and mental health issues are on the rise. The coming of smartphones and social media was initially praised as a breakthrough in human interaction, promising to bridge geographical divides and foster global communities. However, research from the University of Chicago suggests that excessive screen time correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Virtual interactions, while convenient, often lack the depth and emotional empathy of-face-to-face communication. Neuroscientists argue that non-verbal cues — such as body language, tone of voice, and eye contact — are essential for meaningful human connection, yet these elements are largely absent in digital exchanges. Furthermore, the “attention economy” worsens the problem. Social media algorithms (算法) prioritize engagement over well-being, often promoting sensationalist (哗众取宠) or divisive content to maximize user storage. This creates an environment where individuals consume vast amounts of superficial interactions without forming genuine relationships. A 2023 study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that frequent social media users reported lower life satisfaction, even when controlling for other variables. Some experts advocate for a “digital detox” movement, encouraging individuals to limit screen time and prioritize in-person interactions. However, critics argue that technology itself is not the root cause of isolation but rather how it is used. They suggest that digital tools, if designed with psychological well being in mind, could enhance rather than decrease human connection. 46. What is the main paradox discussed in the passage? A. Technology improves efficiency but reduces productivity. B. Social media unites people but decreases political extremes. C. Digital connectivity increases but human isolation grows. D. Virtual communication enhances more emotional bonds. 47. According to the University of Chicago research, what is a consequence of excessive screen time? A. Improved multitasking abilities. B. Greater financial productivity. C. Enhanced long-term memory storage. D. A lack of in-depth communication. 48. Why do neuroscientists argue that digital interactions may lack depth? A. Because they dismiss non-verbal cues for emotional connection. B. Because they are too slow compared to in-person conversations. C. Because they rely too heavily on written language. D. Because they are less available to older generations. 49. What does the underlined word “superficial” in the third paragraph mean? A. Unknown. B. Unexpected. C. Undeveloped. D. Shallow. 50. What solution do critics of the“digital detox” movement propose? A. Abandoning digital communication tools. B. Encouraging longer screen time to build familiarity. C. Combining technology with mental health care. D. Revising government regulation of social media platforms. 第Ⅱ卷 (共40分) 第四部分：读写综合 第一节：单词填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 从表格中选择合适的单词，用其正确形式填空，使句意通顺合理。不得重复使用，每空1字。 preserve assume adjust reluctant aggression regulate rough judge addict recall glory comprise 51.

Many people have not had the pleasure of this experience. Alice Waters, the owner of a restaurant, set out to change all that for a special group of students at a middle school. Waters worked with the school’s principal to create a cooking and gardening program at the school. Waters believes in the importance of people knowing where their food comes from. She also believes that there is a strong relationship between food, health, and the environment. Her goal at the middle school was to show children the pleasure in gardening and in preparing the foods that they cultivated. She wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand. The project that Waters began took a lot of time and patience. She relied on the help of teachers, students, and community volunteers to turn a parking lot into a garden. At the same time, renovation was begun to turn an old cafeteria into a kitchen where students could prepare foods and share meals with their teachers. Then, the first usable crops were planted. They included various vegetables. In the following year they brought the addition of plants. Every year since then, new crops are added and old crops are assessed to make sure that they are best suited for the environment and the needs of the school. Students have found that they look forward to the time they spend in the garden each week. They have learned how to weed, prune, and harvest. They have learned about the life cycles of various plants. They also know how to enrich the soil through composting, a process in which leftover scraps of fruits and vegetables are used as fertilizer. Many have discovered that they like fruits and vegetables that they had never before been willing to try. Alice Waters dreams that one day there will be a garden in every school. She hopes that school lunches can be prepared using the produce from the gardens and other locally-grown organic produce. 71. What were the school children supposed to learn from Waters’ gardening and cooking program?(No more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What preparation(s) did they make before the project?(Within 15 words.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 73.

She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work. Gracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors,familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East. Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over £ 150,000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her. Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard (危险, 风险) she was running would scare her away from the fight. The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to resign rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights. Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin. Carrie Gracie’s dispute with the BBC isn’t about money — it’s about dignity! 36. What do you know about Carrie Gracie? A. She is very strict with her office colleagues. B. She has a good command of China’s affairs. C. She was working together with Jon Sopel. D. She has a reputation of covering sports news. 37. What does Carrie Gracie demand of the BBC? A. Equal pay for equal work. B. Better pay for more work. C. Apology for misconducts. D. Response to her complaint. 38. We can infer from the passage that the BBC . A. didn’t promise Gracie equal pay with her male colleagues B. dismissed Carrie Gracie due to her demand for higher pay C. was forced to pay Gracie equal pay for doing the equal work D. kept the pay of its familiar names secret before last summer 39. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply? A. Carrie Gracie values her reputation as a journalist more than financial gain. B. Carrie Gracie’s struggle for equal pay is essentially a fight for her professional integrity. C. Carrie Gracie believes that fair pay and good journalism are equally important. D. Carrie Gracie wants to be remembered for her journalism rather than her pay dispute. 40. What is the author’s attitude towards the BBC? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Cautious. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了BBC中国编辑Carrie Gracie因同工不同酬问题辞职的事件，揭露了BBC存在的性别薪酬差距问题，并赞扬了Gracie为维护女性合法权益和职业尊严所做的抗争。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“Carrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs(Carrie Gracie对中国及其事务非常了解)”可知，她对中国事务很了解。故选B项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job(她已经辞去了中国版编辑的工作，因为她的雇主拒绝支付她与从事类似重要工作的男性同事相同的薪酬)”和第二段“One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors(她接受这份工作的条件之一是与BBC其他国际编辑同薪，包括华盛顿的Jon Sopel和中东的Jeremy Bowen)”可知，她要求的是同工同酬。故选A项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over £150,000(去年夏季，政府强制BBC公布收入超过15万英镑的知名主持人名单)”和“The results exposed an astonishing pay gap(结果揭露了惊人的薪酬差距)”可推断，BBC此前一直对知名主持人的薪酬保密。故选D项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据划线句“She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin(她证明了这是同一枚珍贵硬币的两面)”及结合上下文可知，她既想成为优秀记者，又坚持薪酬公平，说明她认为争取公平薪酬与追求新闻专业精神同等重要。故选B项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中的“They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.(他们还向格雷西表明，她的雇主误导了她)”、“Instead, they prevaricate and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality.(相反，他们推诿搪塞，给她加薪，但这仍不能实现平等)”以及最后一段作者明确表示“BBC is wrong this time(这次BBC错了)”，可见作者对BBC持批评态度。故选C项。 B In the ancient walled city of Sana’a, mud skyscrapers rise high into the sky. The towering structures are built entirely out of earth and decorated with amazing geometric patterns. The local mud architecture is so unique that the city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. “As an outstanding example of architecture reflecting the spatial (空间的) characteristics of the early years, the city in its landscape has an extraordinary artistic quality,” UNESCO writes in its description of Sana’a. “The buildings also show exceptional craftsmanship (工艺) in the use of local materials and techniques.” Even though the buildings in Sana’a are thousands of years old, the ancient structures are still inhabited today and most remain private houses. It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal—they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. Architects around the world are reviving (复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat. Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes? The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Concrete, a common modern construction material, has a huge carbon footprint. Replacing concrete with less polluting materials is important to achieving our climate goals, scientists warn. The ancient material, mud, could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete, according to Damluji. Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable, she says. “If you want to pull down a wall or change the design, you can recycle all the materials.” An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This reduces the need for air conditioning units, which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions. Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather, such as heatwaves, floods and droughts, which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise. Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design. 41. According to the first two paragraphs, buildings in Sana’a are “unique” because . A. they are tall and tower over the entire city B. their geometric patterns create artistic feelings C. they are beautifully crafted with local resources D. their fascinating history has attracted many tourists 42. Which of the following is TRUE about mud materials according to the passage? A. They can reduce the chance of extreme weather events. B. They can be ideal for sustainable construction of the future. C. They might produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. D. They might cause substantial temperature changes. 43. It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. mud might be an important solution to the climate crisis B. the mud buildings in Sana’a are no longer suitable to live C. rebuilding mud construction would take great efforts D. mud has become the favourite material of architects 44. What’s the author’s attitude towards raw-earth construction in the building industry? A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Supportive. 45. What might be the best title of the passage? A. Historic Cities Mark Human Civilization B. Construction Industry Threaten Climate Goals C. Modern Architecture Survive Extreme Weather D. Ancient Material Make for Future House Designs 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. D 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文以Sana’a具有特色的泥质城堡引入，主要介绍了泥浆这种古老的材料可作为完美的可持续的建筑材料。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The towering structures are built entirely out of earth and decorated with amazing geometric patterns. The local mud architecture is so unique that the city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.(这些高耸的建筑完全是用泥土建造的，装饰着引人注目的几何图案。当地的泥建筑非常独特，因此这座城市已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产)”和第二段的“The buildings also show exceptional craftsmanship(工艺)in the use of local materials and techniques.(这些建筑还展示了在使用当地材料和技术方面的卓越工艺)”可知，Sana’a的建筑的独特之处在于它们是用当地的资源进行精心装饰的。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal—they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation.(很容易理解为什么这些泥建筑没有失去吸引力——它们隔热良好，可持续发展，非常适合现代使用。“这是未来的建筑，”泥砖建筑基金会的联合创始人Damluji说)”和第四段的“Architects around the world are reviving(复兴)raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat.(世界各地的建筑师正在复兴生土建筑，因为他们寻求建造能够抵御暴洪和高温等极端天气事件的可持续建筑)”可知，泥土材料是未来可持续建设的理想选择。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Concrete, a common modern construction material, has a huge carbon footprint.

Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is full yrecyclable, she says.(达姆利伊表示，这种古老的材料——泥浆，可能是混凝土的完美可持续替代品。她说，用泥浆建筑对环境的影响非常小，而且材料本身是完全可回收的)”推知，泥浆可能是气候危机的重要解决方法。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design.(因此，想要住在现代舒适的房子里的人应该考虑用泥土做的房子。总的来说，它有助于高度先进和可持续的设计)”推知，作者对建筑行业的生土建筑持支持态度。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段的“It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal—they are well-insulated (隔热的), sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use. “It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji, co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation.(很容易理解为什么这些泥建筑没有失去吸引力——它们隔热良好，可持续发展，非常适合现代使用。“这是未来的建筑，”泥砖建筑基金会的联合创始人Damluji说)”和最后一段“Therefore, people who wish to live in a modern, comfortable home should consider one made of mud. Overall, it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design.(因此，想要住在现代舒适的房子里的人应该考虑用泥土做的房子。总的来说，它有助于高度先进和可持续的设计)”可知，本文主要介绍了泥浆这种古老的材料可作为完美的可持续的建筑材料。D项“古老的材料造就了未来的房屋设计”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 C In an era where digital connectivity has reached unexceptional levels, a paradoxical (矛盾的) phenomenon has emerged: the more technologically interconnected society becomes, the more socially isolated individuals feel. Studies indicate that despite the expansion of social media platforms, messaging apps, and virtual communication tools, loneliness and mental health issues are on the rise. The coming of smartphones and social media was initially praised as a breakthrough in human interaction, promising to bridge geographical divides and foster global communities. However, research from the University of Chicago suggests that excessive screen time correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Virtual interactions, while convenient, often lack the depth and emotional empathy of-face-to-face communication. Neuroscientists argue that non-verbal cues — such as body language, tone of voice, and eye contact — are essential for meaningful human connection, yet these elements are largely absent in digital exchanges. Furthermore, the “attention economy” worsens the problem. Social media algorithms (算法) prioritize engagement over well-being, often promoting sensationalist (哗众取宠) or divisive content to maximize user storage. This creates an environment where individuals consume vast amounts of superficial interactions without forming genuine relationships. A 2023 study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that frequent social media users reported lower life satisfaction, even when controlling for other variables. Some experts advocate for a “digital detox” movement, encouraging individuals to limit screen time and prioritize in-person interactions. However, critics argue that technology itself is not the root cause of isolation but rather how it is used. They suggest that digital tools, if designed with psychological well being in mind, could enhance rather than decrease human connection. 46. What is the main paradox discussed in the passage? A. Technology improves efficiency but reduces productivity. B. Social media unites people but decreases political extremes. C. Digital connectivity increases but human isolation grows. D. Virtual communication enhances more emotional bonds. 47. According to the University of Chicago research, what is a consequence of excessive screen time? A. Improved multitasking abilities. B. Greater financial productivity. C. Enhanced long-term memory storage. D. A lack of in-depth communication. 48. Why do neuroscientists argue that digital interactions may lack depth? A. Because they dismiss non-verbal cues for emotional connection. B. Because they are too slow compared to in-person conversations. C. Because they rely too heavily on written language. D. Because they are less available to older generations. 49. What does the underlined word “superficial” in the third paragraph mean? A. Unknown. B. Unexpected. C. Undeveloped. D. Shallow. 50. What solution do critics of the“digital detox” movement propose? A. Abandoning digital communication tools. B. Encouraging longer screen time to build familiarity. C. Combining technology with mental health care. D. Revising government regulation of social media platforms. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了数字互联程度提高，人们却更孤独。过度屏幕时间致深度交流缺失，有专家主张“数字排毒”，也有人认为应合理设计数字工具。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In an era where digital connectivity has reached unexceptional levels, a paradoxical (矛盾的) phenomenon has emerged: the more technologically interconnected society becomes, the more socially isolated individuals feel.( 在一个数字连接已经达到普通水平的时代，一个矛盾的现象出现了：社会在技术上联系得越紧密，个人在社会上就越孤立)”可知，主要的矛盾现象是数字连接增多但人类的孤独感加剧。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, research from the University of Chicago suggests that excessive screen time correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Virtual interactions, while convenient, often lack the depth and emotional empathy of-face-to-face communication.( 然而，芝加哥大学的研究表明，过多的屏幕时间与孤独感和抑郁感的增加有关。虚拟互动虽然“方便”，但往往缺乏面对面交流的深度和情感共鸣)”可知，芝加哥大学的研究表明过度使用屏幕时间会导致缺乏深度交流。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第第二段中“Neuroscientists argue that non-verbal cues — such as body language, tone of voice, and eye contact — are essential for meaningful human connection, yet these elements are largely absent in digital exchanges.( 神经科学家认为，非语言暗示——比如肢体语言、语调和眼神交流——对于有意义的人际关系是必不可少的，然而这些元素在数字交流中基本上是缺失的)”可知，神经科学家认为数字交流缺乏深度是因为它忽略了用于情感连接的非语言暗示。故选A项。 【49题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Social media algorithms (算法) prioritize engagement over well-being, often promoting sensationalist (哗众取宠) or divisive content to maximize user storage.( 社交媒体算法优先考虑参与度，而不是幸福感，经常推广哗众取宠或分裂的内容，以最大限度地提高用户存储)”以及划线单词句中“This creates an environment where individuals consume vast amounts of superficial interactions without forming genuine relationships.( 这创造了一种环境，在这种环境中，个人消耗了大量的superficial互动，而没有形成真正的关系)”可知，社交媒体的内容通常是哗众取宠或分裂的，在这样的环境中人们进行了大量肤浅的互动，而没有形成真正的关系。因此猜测，“superficial”是“浅薄的，表面的”意思，与D选项“Shallow(浅的)” 同义。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段提到“However, critics argue that technology itself is not the root cause of isolation but rather how it is used. They suggest that digital tools, if designed with psychological well being in mind, could enhance rather than decrease human connection.( 然而，批评者认为，技术本身并不是造成孤立的根本原因，而是技术的使用方式。他们认为，如果在设计时考虑到心理健康，数字工具可以加强而不是减少人与人之间的联系)”可推知，批评“数字排毒”运动的人提议将技术与心理健康护理相结合。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 (共40分) 第四部分：读写综合 第一节：单词填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 从表格中选择合适的单词，用其正确形式填空，使句意通顺合理。不得重复使用，每空1字。 preserve assume adjust reluctant aggression regulate rough judge addict recall glory comprise 51.

Many people have not had the pleasure of this experience. Alice Waters, the owner of a restaurant, set out to change all that for a special group of students at a middle school. Waters worked with the school’s principal to create a cooking and gardening program at the school. Waters believes in the importance of people knowing where their food comes from. She also believes that there is a strong relationship between food, health, and the environment. Her goal at the middle school was to show children the pleasure in gardening and in preparing the foods that they cultivated. She wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand. The project that Waters began took a lot of time and patience. She relied on the help of teachers, students, and community volunteers to turn a parking lot into a garden. At the same time, renovation was begun to turn an old cafeteria into a kitchen where students could prepare foods and share meals with their teachers. Then, the first usable crops were planted. They included various vegetables. In the following year they brought the addition of plants. Every year since then, new crops are added and old crops are assessed to make sure that they are best suited for the environment and the needs of the school. Students have found that they look forward to the time they spend in the garden each week. They have learned how to weed, prune, and harvest. They have learned about the life cycles of various plants. They also know how to enrich the soil through composting, a process in which leftover scraps of fruits and vegetables are used as fertilizer. Many have discovered that they like fruits and vegetables that they had never before been willing to try. Alice Waters dreams that one day there will be a garden in every school. She hopes that school lunches can be prepared using the produce from the gardens and other locally-grown organic produce. 71.

She wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand(她在这所中学的目标是向孩子们展示园艺以及准备他们种植的食物的乐趣。她想教他们健康的身体和健康的环境是相辅相成的)” 可知，学校孩子们应该从沃特斯的园艺和烹饪项目中学到园艺和准备食物的乐趣，以及健康身体与健康环境之间的联系。故填The pleasure of gardening and preparing food, and the connection between a healthy body and a healthy environment./(That) gardening/cooking brings pleasure and that health and environment are connected. 【72题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“She relied on the help of teachers, students, and community volunteers to turn a parking lot into a garden.
