When I was sixteen, I was in a band with my friends, playing hard rock and heavy metal. We weren’t great, but we were good enough to come in third place at our school’s talent show, so we decided to see if we could get some local concerts. When we found out we’d gotten booked for a charitable event at a large hospital, we were ecstatic. For two weeks we practiced hard, getting together every day after school to improve our skills and learn enough songs to fill a one-hour show.
Eventually came the day. We stepped onto the stage and started our performance. We played probably the best show of our lives. We hardly missed a note on any of our songs, even the ones that we’d only recently learned. Everything was perfect. However, we couldn’t enjoy our performance. As each song finished, there was a short pause. This was the time when the audience would normally applaud. We didn’t expect thundering applause or standing cheers. But polite applause is usually a given, even if the audience doesn’t like you. We were getting nothing. After forty-five minutes we decided to end our set early.
The entertainment director, however, insisted we finish. She explained that most audience were suffering from severe physical or mental disabilities and many of them were elders, in their sixties or seventies. They didn’t know or couldn’t clap. Though none of us really believed her, we returned to the stage, deciding to honor our word and finish the show. Eventually, the show came to an end and we gratefully packed up our instruments. We had still received no applause, not even when we said good night.
While we were packing, the director asked us to go back to the hall. We didn’t want to do it, but we felt obligated. After all, it was a charity event. To my surprise, at least fifty people, ranging in age from ten to seventy, had gathered by the stage. They wanted to thank us. Some shook our hands, and one small girl even asked me for my signature. Several told us that we were the best band that had played for them in years.We couldn’t believe it. They loved us!
Though I quit music later, no cheering crowd ever matched the quiet gratitude of that night. The silence was not a sign of dislike but of awe and enjoyment. It was a lesson I never forgot.

One of the longest holidays in China, the five-day May Day holiday ran from Thursday to Monday this year. Many people across China decided to treat themselves to a well-earned vacation. Amid the country’s booming domestic tourism scene, creating “emotional value” has quickly become a new key to winning the hearts of tourists.
Rizhao, a coastal city in East China’s Shandong Province, has grabbed national attention and made it on the trending chart on Sina Weibo. During the May Day holiday, it launched the “Dragon King’s Treasure” Clam (蛤) Festival. To ensure visitors left with both clams and cherished memories, organizers threw 1,500 kilograms of clams every day. They even established special bus routes and provided guides for clam-diging techniques and cooking methods. Social media videos captured joyful scenes of tourists chasing trucks that distributed clams, with words like “Rizhao guarantees clams for all” going viral nationwide.
The festival’s success lies in its ability to create enjoyable moments. Initially, a marketing term that measured customers’ perceived emotional benefits against cost, the phrase “emotional value” has been growing popular, particularly among young people in China. It now refers to how one’s actions influence others. Bringing comfort and joy adds emotional value, while causing stress or discomfort reduces it.
Psychology experts explain that emotional value fulfills people’s need for meaningful connections. “Travel serves as a good way for people to reduce their stress,” noted Dr. Ma Jianwen, an expert in the Clinical Psychology and Supervision Professional Committee of the Guangdong Psychological Association. “Well-designed experiences transform ordinary trips into emotionally engaging journeys.” From clam-digging festivals to cultural role-playing, China’s tourism is rewriting its playbook. “It’s no longer just about pouring money or advancing technology in tourism, ‘emotional value’ plays a key role in helping tourists truly feel a sense of satisfaction. It’s also a key aspect of the deep integration of culture and tourism that is occurring now,” added Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration.
8. What was the purpose of Rizhao’s Clam Festival activities?
A. To attract attention on social platform.
B. To promote local seafood among tourists.
C. To provide free public transportation services.
D. To enhance tourists’ experience and satisfaction.
9. According to Para. 3, how does the author explain the term “emotional value”?
A. By giving examples. B. By giving definition.
C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing the process.
10. What can be inferred about modern Chinese tourists?
A. They value emotional satisfaction. B. They seek traditional sightseeing
C. They prefer low-cost travel options. D. They demand advanced equipment.
11. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Economic Boom of China’s May Day Holiday
B. Rizhao’s Clam Festival: A Viral Social Media Success
C. How to Dig Clams: A Guide to China’s Coastal Festivals
D. From Convention to Emotion:Rewriting Tourism in Modern China
D
In the 21st century, digital technology has changed many aspects of our lives. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest newcomer, with chatbots and other AI tools changing how we learn and creating considerable challenges. What’s the impact of technology on the aging brain? A comprehensive new study from researchers at the University of Texas and Baylor University in the United States provides important answers.
The study, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenges the idea of “digital Tementia”, a hypothesis introduced by German neuroscientist Manfred Spitzer in 2012. This hypothesis suggests that over-dependence on digital devices weakens cognitive (认知的) abilities, particularly in older adults. However, the study, conducted by neuropsychologists Jared Benge and Michael Scullin, found no evidence to support this hypothesis. Instead, it revealed that the use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet among individuals over 50 is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline.
The study employed a meta-analysis approach, combining data from 57 previous studies involving over 411,000 adults. It found that higher technology use was linked to a 58 reduction in the risk of cognitive decline, even when the effect of other things known to contribute to cognitive decline, such as socioeconomic status and other health factors were taken into account. Meanwhile, this benefit is comparable to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
These findings are encouraging. But we still can’t say technology use causes better cognitive function. More research is needed to see if these findings can be applied to different groups of people, especially those from low and middle income countries, and to understand why this relationship might occur. Meanwhile, with our interaction with technology constantly changing, future research will need to address both the benefits and potential downsides of technology, especially for younger generations, to ensure that we can take full advantage of its advantages while minimizing risks.
12. What can be inferred about the term “digital dementia” based on the text?
A. It is a proven consequence of natural aging processes.
B. It refers to cognitive decline caused by overuse of digital devices.
C. It describes technology’s ability to enhance memory in older adults.
D. It highlights better cognitive function caused by social media overuse.
13. What do the results of the new study indicate?
A. Younger generation benefits more from technology use.
B. Technology use in the old works well in reducing cognitive decline.
C. Technology use is the most effective way to prevent cognitive decline.
D. Physical activity is less important than technology use for cognitive health.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Objective. B. Positive.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
15. What is the author’s purpose to write the text?
A. To explore the influence of digital technology on life.
B. To argue against the use of technology in older adults.
C. To discuss how technology can support cognitive health in aging.
D. To compare the different methods of maintaining cognitive abilities.

Mindful Technology Use: The Final Piece
____20____, like creating “tech-free zones” during meals or using apps to track screen time. This full integration (整合) reshapes daily habits.

Joe lost her parents at an early age, and then was adopted by her Aunt Clara, who worked hard to support her and her own daughter Mira. With the school ball on the way, both Joe and Mira dreamed of buying beautiful dresses for the big day. But Clara’s limited income posed a challenge—she could only afford one dress.
To decide who would get the dress, Clara suggested the girls draw lots (抽签). Unluckily, Joe didn’t win the draw,but she seemed to be positive. “Don’t worry about me,” Joe smiled. “I’ll find another way.” Joe went under her bed and took out a box with money from Grandma. Grandma loved Joe and Mira very much. Each year, Grandma would send them cash gifts. Joe had saved her money carefully and now had enough to buy a prom (舞会) dress. With excitement and expectation, she bought a beautiful blue dress, expecting to be the prom queen that day.
The next Sunday morning, Aunt Clara left for work early. When Joe woke up, she was surprised to find the dress was gone! She checked every corner of her home but finally froze in horror when seeing the family dog was tearing it to pieces. She yelled and ran toward the dog. “What have you done to my dress?” Mira soon found out and rushed to help Joe get the dress from the dog’s teeth. But it was already completely ruined and couldn’t be fixed. Heartbroken, Joe felt she couldn’t afford another dress.
Confused and unsure of what to do, Joe went to Grandma’s house with the remains of her dress, hoping for comfort and advice. When Grandma opened the door, Joe couldn’t hold back her tears, telling her what had happened. Grandma held her hands gently and offered a glimmer of hope. “I can help you with your dress,” she smiled. “Follow me.” Grandma, who had Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease, walked slowly and led Joe into the dining room. There, she took the cover off her old sewing machine and signaled Joe to open the top drawer of the dresser.
注意:1.续写词应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Joe hesitated, “But I’m afraid that you couldn’t sew anymore.”

When I was sixteen, I was in a band with my friends, playing hard rock and heavy metal. We weren’t great, but we were good enough to come in third place at our school’s talent show, so we decided to see if we could get some local concerts. When we found out we’d gotten booked for a charitable event at a large hospital, we were ecstatic. For two weeks we practiced hard, getting together every day after school to improve our skills and learn enough songs to fill a one-hour show.
Eventually came the day. We stepped onto the stage and started our performance. We played probably the best show of our lives. We hardly missed a note on any of our songs even the ones that we’d only recently learned. Everything was perfect. However, we couldn’t enjoy our performance. As each song finished, there was a short pause. This was the time when the audience would normally applaud. We didn’t expect thundering applause or standing cheers. But polite applause is usually a given, even if the audience doesn’t like you. We were getting nothing. After forty-five minutes we decided to end our set early.
The entertainment director, however, insisted we finish. She explained that most audience were suffering from severe physical or mental disabilities and many of them were elders, in their sixties or seventies. They didn’t know or couldn’t clap. Though none of us really believed her, we returned to the stage, deciding to honor our word and finish the show. Eventually, the show came to an end and we gratefully packed up our instruments. We had still received no applause, not even when we said good night.
While we were packing, the director asked us to go back to the hall. We didn’t want to do it, but we felt obligated. After all, it was a charity event. To my surprise, at least fifty people, ranging in age from ten to seventy, had gathered by the stage. They wanted to thank us. Some shook our hands, and one small girl even asked me for my signature. Several told us that we were the best band that had played for them in years.We couldn’t believe it. They loved us!
Though I quit music later, no cheering crowd ever matched the quiet gratitude of that night. The silence was not a sign of dislike but of awe and enjoyment. It was a lesson I never forgot.
4. What does the word “ecstatic” probably mean in Para. 1?
A. Excited. B. Impatient.
C. Nervous. D. Curious.
5. Why did the band decide to end their performance early?
A. They didn’t perform very well.
B. They didn’t make full preparations.

One of the longest holidays in China, the five-day May Day holiday ran from Thursday to Monday this year. Many people across China decided to treat themselves to a well-earned vacation. Amid the country’s booming domestic tourism scene, creating “emotional value” has quickly become a new key to winning the hearts of tourists.
Rizhao, a coastal city in East China’s Shandong Province, has grabbed national attention and made it on the trending chart on Sina Weibo. During the May Day holiday, it launched the “Dragon King’s Treasure” Clam (蛤) Festival. To ensure visitors left with both clams and cherished memories, organizers threw 1,500 kilograms of clams every day. They even established special bus routes and provided guides for clam-diging techniques and cooking methods. Social media videos captured joyful scenes of tourists chasing trucks that distributed clams, with words like “Rizhao guarantees clams for all” going viral nationwide.
The festival’s success lies in its ability to create enjoyable moments. Initially, a marketing term that measured customers’ perceived emotional benefits against cost, the phrase “emotional value” has been growing popular, particularly among young people in China. It now refers to how one’s actions influence others. Bringing comfort and joy adds emotional value, while causing stress or discomfort reduces it.
Psychology experts explain that emotional value fulfills people’s need for meaningful connections. “Travel serves as a good way for people to reduce their stress,” noted Dr. Ma Jianwen, an expert in the Clinical Psychology and Supervision Professional Committee of the Guangdong Psychological Association. “Well-designed experiences transform ordinary trips into emotionally engaging journeys.” From clam-digging festivals to cultural role-playing, China’s tourism is rewriting its playbook. “It’s no longer just about pouring money or advancing technology in tourism, ‘emotional value’ plays a key role in helping tourists truly feel a sense of satisfaction. It’s also a key aspect of the deep integration of culture and tourism that is occurring now,” added Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration.
8. What was the purpose of Rizhao’s Clam Festival activities?
A. To attract attention on social platform.
B. To promote local seafood among tourists.
C. To provide free public transportation services.
D. To enhance tourists’ experience and satisfaction.
9. According to Para. 3, how does the author explain the term “emotional value”?
A. By giving examples. B. By giving definition.
C. By making comparison. D. By analyzing the process.
10. What can be inferred about modern Chinese tourists?
A. They value emotional satisfaction. B. They seek traditional sightseeing
C. They prefer low-cost travel options. D. They demand advanced equipment.
11. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Economic Boom of China’s May Day Holiday
B. Rizhao’s Clam Festival: A Viral Social Media Success
C. How to Dig Clams: A Guide to China’s Coastal Festivals
D. From Convention to Emotion:Rewriting Tourism in Modern China

In the 21st century, digital technology has changed many aspects of our lives. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest newcomer, with chatbots and other AI tools changing how we learn and creating considerable challenges. What’s the impact of technology on the aging brain? A comprehensive new study from researchers at the University of Texas and Baylor University in the United States provides important answers.
The study, published in Nature Human Behaviour, challenges the idea of “digital Tementia”, a hypothesis introduced by German neuroscientist Manfred Spitzer in 2012. This hypothesis suggests that over-dependence on digital devices weakens cognitive (认知的) abilities, particularly in older adults. However, the study, conducted by neuropsychologists Jared Benge and Michael Scullin, found no evidence to support this hypothesis. Instead, it revealed that the use of computers, smartphones, and the Internet among individuals over 50 is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive decline.
The study employed a meta-analysis approach, combining data from 57 previous studies involving over 411,000 adults. It found that higher technology use was linked to a 58 reduction in the risk of cognitive decline, even when the effect of other things known to contribute to cognitive decline, such as socioeconomic status and other health factors were taken into account. Meanwhile, this benefit is comparable to or stronger than other known protective factors, such as physical activity and maintaining healthy blood pressure.
These findings are encouraging. But we still can’t say technology use causes better cognitive function. More research is needed to see if these findings can be applied to different groups of people, especially those from low and middle income countries, and to understand why this relationship might occur. Meanwhile, with our interaction with technology constantly changing, future research will need to address both the benefits and potential downsides of technology, especially for younger generations, to ensure that we can take full advantage of its advantages while minimizing risks.
12. What can be inferred about the term “digital dementia” based on the text?
A. It is a proven consequence of natural aging processes.
B. It refers to cognitive decline caused by overuse of digital devices.
C. It describes technology’s ability to enhance memory in older adults.
D. It highlights better cognitive function caused by social media overuse.
13. What do the results of the new study indicate?
A. Younger generation benefits more from technology use.
B. Technology use in the old works well in reducing cognitive decline.
C. Technology use is the most effective way to prevent cognitive decline.
D. Physical activity is less important than technology use for cognitive health.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Objective. B. Positive.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
15. What is the author’s purpose to write the text?
A. To explore the influence of digital technology on life.
B. To argue against the use of technology in older adults.
C. To discuss how technology can support cognitive health in aging.
D. To compare the different methods of maintaining cognitive abilities.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C

82. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整 的短文。
Joe lost her parents at an early age, and then was adopted by her Aunt Clara, who worked hard to support her and her own daughter Mira. With the school ball on the way, both Joe and Mira dreamed of buying beautiful dresses for the big day. But Clara’s limited income posed a challenge—she could only afford one dress.
To decide who would get the dress, Clara suggested the girls draw lots (抽签). Unluckily, Joe didn’t win the draw,but she seemed to be positive. “Don’t worry about me,” Joe smiled. “I’ll find another way.” Joe went under her bed and took out a box with money from Grandma. Grandma loved Joe and Mira very much. Each year, Grandma would send them cash gifts. Joe had saved her money carefully and now had enough to buy a prom (舞会) dress. With excitement and expectation, she bought a beautiful blue dress, expecting to be the prom queen that day.
The next Sunday morning, Aunt Clara left for work early. When Joe woke up, she was surprised to find the dress was gone! She checked every corner of her home but finally froze in horror when seeing the family dog was tearing it to pieces. She yelled and ran toward the dog. “What have you done to my dress?” Mira soon found out and rushed to help Joe get the dress from the dog’s teeth. But it was already completely ruined and couldn’t be fixed. Heartbroken, Joe felt she couldn’t afford another dress.
Confused and unsure of what to do, Joe went to Grandma’s house with the remains of her dress, hoping for comfort and advice. When Grandma opened the door, Joe couldn’t hold back her tears, telling her what had happened. Grandma held her hands gently and offered a glimmer of hope. “I can help you with your dress,” she smiled. “Follow me.” Grandma, who had Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease, walked slowly and led Joe into the dining room. There, she took the cover off her old sewing machine and signaled Joe to open the top drawer of the dresser.
注意:1.续写词应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Joe hesitated, “But I’m afraid that you couldn’t sew anymore.”

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Joe hesitated, “But I’m afraid that you couldn’t sew anymore.” Grandma smiled and said gently, “Trust me, dear. I may move a little slower these days, but my hands still remember how to create beauty. Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Although I have Parkinson’s disease, it won’t stop me from doing what I love. I used to make dresses for your mother when she was your age. Now, it’s your turn to shine at the prom.” Joe felt a mix of doubt and hope, but she decided to trust her grandma’s words.
With their joint efforts, they completed a new prom dress. It was a masterpiece, a one-of-a-kind creation, filled with love and effort. The fabric, chosen by Grandma, was soft and flowing, like a dream. The details, added by Joe’s suggestions, made it even more special. Joe tried it on, and her eyes filled with tears of joy. The dress fit her perfectly, as if it were made just for her. It made her feel like a true princess.
