My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches. In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers. The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate. Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.​ 4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed? A. They are guided by professional interview teams​ B. They are created by capital through selection and editing​ C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers ​ D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children​ 5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?​ A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children​ B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts​ C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents​ D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent​ 6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?​ A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers​ B. Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera​ C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal​ D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera​ 7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?​ A. A framework of harmonious coexistence​ B. A framework of mutual understanding​ C. An opposing framework​ D. A framework of equal communication​ 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要批判资本通过剪辑视频制造亲子对立以获取流量的现象。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic.(首先，他们采访一些10后的孩子，然后挑选出那些观点符合“不孝子女”形象的言论，将它们编辑成视频，发布到网上以获取流量)”可知，作者认为视频中10后孩子的观点是资本通过挑选和编辑创造出来的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation.(这样做不仅可以帮助营销账号获得流量，还可以为这些家长提供一个发泄不满的平台)”可知，营销账号发布此类视频的主要目的是获取流量并为家长提供发泄平台。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second.(在镜头外，他们可能会立刻撒娇地抱住妈妈，分享学校里有趣的事情)”可知，文章提到孩子们在镜头外的真实表现是与母亲亲密互动。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate.(然而，在营销账号的叙事中，这些真实的孩子被简化为“无理取闹的不孝子”，而80后母亲则被描绘成“受委屈的受害者”。这两种身份被强行塞进了一个对立的框架中，激发了最容易引起共鸣的家庭情感)”可知，营销账号将10后孩子和80后母亲强行塞进了一个对立的框架中。故选C。 C​ Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the field of music in recent years. From composing music to producing it, AI is changing the way we create and experience music.​ One of the most exciting applications of AI in music is composition. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of music data and learn the patterns and structures of different genres. This allows them to compose original music that sounds like it was written by a human composer. Some AI-composed songs have even been released commercially and have received positive reviews.​ AI is also being used in music production. It can help with tasks such as mixing and mastering, which are traditionally done by audio engineers. AI-powered tools can analyze a song and make adjustments to the levels, EQ, and effects to create a more polished sound. This can save time and money for musicians and producers.​ In addition to composing and producing music, AI is also changing the way we listen to music. Music streaming services use AI algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history. This helps users discover new music that they are likely to enjoy.​ However, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on the music industry. Some musicians worry that AI will replace human composers and musicians, leading to a loss of creativity and originality. Others argue that AI is just a tool that can be used to enhance human creativity.​ 8. What is one application of AI in music mentioned in the passage?​ A. Teaching music lessons.​ B. Composing original music.​ C. Selling music online.​ D. Designing musical instruments.​ 9. How can AI help with music production?​ A. By writing lyrics.​ B. By playing musical instruments.​ C. By mixing and mastering songs.​ D. By promoting songs on social media.​ 10. How do music streaming services use AI?​ A. To create music videos.​ B. To recommend songs to users.​ C. To book concerts for artists.​ D. To sell merchandise.​ 11. What is a concern about AI in the music industry?​ A. It will make music more expensive.​ B. It will replace human composers and musicians.​ C. It will reduce the quality of music.​ D. It will make music less popular.​ 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在音乐领域的应用（如作曲、制作、推荐系统），并讨论了其对行业的影响和潜在争议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of the most exciting applications of AI in music is composition. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of music data and learn the patterns and structures of different genres. This allows them to compose original music that sounds like it was written by a human composer.(人工智能在音乐中最令人兴奋的应用之一是作曲。人工智能算法能够分析大量的音乐数据，并学习不同流派的模式和结构。这使得它们能够创作出听起来像是由人类作曲家创作的原创音乐。)”可知，文中提到的人工智能在音乐领域的一个应用是创作原创音乐。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“AI is also being used in music production. It can help with tasks such as mixing and mastering, which are traditionally done by audio engineers. (人工智能也被用于音乐制作。它可以帮助完成诸如混音和母带等任务，这些任务传统上是由音频工程师完成的。)”可知，人工智能能够协助进行音乐制作，包括对歌曲进行混音和母带处理。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Music streaming services use AI algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history. This helps users discover new music that they are likely to enjoy.​(音乐流媒体服务利用人工智能算法，根据用户的收听记录来推荐歌曲和播放列表。这有助于用户发现他们可能喜欢的新音乐。)”可知，音乐流媒体服务是利用人工智能算法向用户推荐歌曲。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on the music industry. Some musicians worry that AI will replace human composers and musicians, leading to a loss of creativity and originality.(然而，人们也对人工智能对音乐行业的影响表示担忧。一些音乐家担心人工智能会取代人类作曲家和音乐家，从而导致创造力和原创性的丧失。)”可知，音乐行业对人工智能的担忧是它将会取代人类的作曲家和音乐家。故选B项。 D​ The concept of time travel has fascinated humans for centuries, appearing in countless works of fiction. But is time travel really possible? According to some scientists, it might be.​ One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer. This means that time can pass at different rates depending on factors such as speed and gravity.​ For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation. In theory, if a spaceship were to travel at near the speed of light for a few years, when it returned to Earth, hundreds of years might have passed.​ Another way time travel could be possible is through the use of wormholes. Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space-time that connect two different points in time and space. If wormholes exist, they could potentially be used to travel back and forth in time.​ However, there are many challenges to making time travel a reality. For one thing, traveling at near the speed of light requires an enormous amount of energy. Wormholes, if they exist, are likely to be very small and unstable, making them unsuitable for travel.​ There are also paradoxes associated with time travel. For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born. This would mean you would never be born, so you couldn’t have traveled back in time to kill your grandfather.​ Despite these challenges, scientists continue to explore the possibility of time travel. Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to travel through time.​ 12. What theory suggests that time travel could be possible?​ A. Newton’s laws of motion.​ B. Darwin’s theory of evolution.​ C. Einstein’s theory of relativity.​ D. Quantum mechanics.​ 13. What is time dilation?​ A. The idea that time is absolute.​ B. The phenomenon where time passes more slowly for objects moving at near the speed of light.​ C. The theory that wormholes exist.​ D. The paradox associated with time travel.​ 14. What are wormholes?​ A. Tunnels in space-time that connect two different points.​ B. Objects that travel at the speed of light.​ C. Spaceships that can travel through time.​ D. Paradoxes associated with time travel.​ 15. What is the grandfather paradox?​ A. The idea that time travel is impossible.​ B. The theory that wormholes are unstable.​ C. The question of what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born.​ D. The phenomenon where time passes more quickly for objects in space. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章围绕时间旅行这一概念展开，先指出时间旅行数百年来让人类着迷且一些科学家认为其可能实现，接着介绍了爱因斯坦相对论表明时间非绝对，引出时间膨胀现象说明时间旅行的一种可能方式，还提及虫洞可作为时间旅行的另一种潜在途径，同时阐述了时间旅行面临的诸多挑战以及存在的悖论，尽管如此科学家仍在探索时间旅行的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer(表明时间旅行可能性的关键理论之一是爱因斯坦的相对论。该理论指出时间不是绝对的，而是相对于观察者而言的)”可知，爱因斯坦的相对论表明时间旅行是可能的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation(例如，如果一个物体以接近光速的速度运动，那么相对于静止的观察者，该物体的时间会过得更慢。这被称为时间膨胀)”可知，时间膨胀是指对于以接近光速运动的物体，时间会过得更慢这一现象。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space - time that connect two different points in time and space(虫洞是时空中的理论隧道，连接着时空中的两个不同点)”可知，虫洞是连接两个不同点的时空隧道。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第六段“For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born(例如，祖父悖论，它问的是如果你回到过去，在你的父母出生前杀了你的祖父会发生什么)”可知，祖父悖论就是思考如果你回到过去在父母出生前杀死祖父会发生什么这个问题。故选C项。 第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The art of public speaking is a valuable skill that can open many doors in both personal and professional life.

However, many people struggle with stage fright and lack confidence when speaking in front of an audience.(公众演讲的艺术是一项宝贵的技能，可以为个人和职业生活打开许多大门。然而，许多人在观众面前演讲时都有怯场和缺乏自信的问题。)”提到公众演讲是一项有价值的技能，但很多人在演讲时会怯场和缺乏自信，后文“With consistent effort, anyone can become a more effective speaker.​(通过持续的努力，任何人都可以成为一个更有效的演讲者。)”说通过持续努力，任何人都能成为更有效的演讲者。选项B“Mastering this skill requires practice and the right strategies(掌握这项技能需要练习和正确的策略)”，既承接了前文人们演讲存在的问题，又引出后文要介绍提升演讲能力的方法，起到了承上启下的作用，故选B项。 【17题详解】 前文“Before stepping onto the stage, take time to research your topic thoroughly(在走上讲台之前，花点时间彻底研究一下你的主题)”指出上台前要彻底研究演讲主题，后文“The more you know about your subject, the more confident you’ll feel when presenting it. This depth of knowledge also allows you to answer unexpected questions with ease.​(你对你的主题了解得越多，你在演讲时就会越自信。这种知识的深度也可以让你轻松地回答意想不到的问题。)”强调对主题了解得越多，演讲时就越自信，且能轻松应对意外问题。选项C“Understand the key points you want to convey and anticipate questions(理解你想要传达的关键点并预估问题)”，“理解关键点”对应前文研究主题，“预估问题”与后文能应对意外问题相呼应，进一步说明了研究主题的具体做法。故选C项。 【18题详解】 前文“Instead of memorizing your entire speech word for word, focus on memorizing the main ideas and structure.(不要一个字一个字地记住整个演讲，而是要集中精力记住主要思想和结构。)”建议不要逐字背诵演讲稿，而是专注于记住主要观点和结构，后文“Use note cards with bullet points to jog your memory if needed, but avoid reading directly from them.(如果需要的话，可以用写有要点的卡片来唤起你的记忆，但不要直接从上面读。)”提到必要时可以用卡片提示，但不要直接照着读，强调演讲的灵活性。选项D“This allows for more natural delivery and adaptability(这能实现更自然的表达和更强的适应性)”，“这”指代前文记住主要观点和结构的做法，“自然表达”和“适应性”与后文演讲灵活性的内容相符。故选D项。 【19题详解】 前文“Stand tall with your shoulders back, make eye contact with the audience, and use hand gestures to emphasize key points.(站直，肩膀向后，与听众进行眼神交流，并使用手势来强调重点。)”介绍了演讲时肢体语言的正确做法，后文“These actions can undermine your credibility and distract listeners from your content.​(这些行为会破坏你的可信度，分散听众的注意力。)”说有些行为会破坏可信度并分散听众注意力。选项A“Avoid nervous habits like pacing or fidgeting(避免像踱步或坐立不安这样紧张的习惯)”，“紧张的习惯”就是后文所说的会产生不良影响的行为，与前文正确的肢体语言形成对比。故选A项。 【20题详解】 前文“After each speaking opportunity, take time to reflect on what went well and what could be improved.(在每次演讲机会之后，花点时间反思哪些地方做得好，哪些地方可以改进。)”提到每次演讲后要反思哪些方面做得好，哪些方面需要改进，后文“This continuous cycle of practice and reflection is how master speakers refine their skills over time.​(这种不断练习和反思的循环就是大师们如何随着时间的推移不断完善他们的技能。)”强调不断练习和反思是演讲高手提升技能的方式。选项E“Ask for feedback from trusted friends or colleagues(向值得信赖的朋友或同事寻求反馈)”，“寻求反馈”是在反思基础上进一步提升演讲技能的方法，与前后文强调的持续提升演讲技能的内容相契合。故选E项。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15 分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I first moved to this coastal town, I felt like a stranger in a foreign land. The rhythm of life here was slower than what I’d known, and the locals spoke with a dialect that took weeks to ___21___ . But it was the sea that eventually made me feel at home.​ Every morning, I’d walk along the shore at dawn. The waves would ___22___ against the rocks, creating a sound that felt like a secret language. One day, an old fisherman noticed me standing alone and ___23___ me to join him on his boat. “The sea has stories to tell,” he said, “but you have to listen ___24___ .”​ We set out at sunrise, and he taught me how to read the wind and the tides. He pointed out how seagulls ___25___ when fish were near, and how the color of the water changed before a storm. These lessons weren’t just about fishing—they were about ___26___ to observe the world carefully.​ One afternoon, a sudden storm hit while we were at sea. The waves grew ___27___ , and the boat rocked violently. I panicked, but the old man remained calm. “Breathe,” he said, handing me a rope. “Focus on what you can control, not what you can’t.” Together, we ___28___ the boat back to safety.​ That experience changed something in me. I realized that adaptability isn’t about ___29___ perfect, but about finding balance in chaos. The town no longer felt foreign, and the sea became a ____30____ rather than a mystery.​ Last month, the old fisherman passed away. I now take his boat out alone sometimes, remembering his words. The sea still ____31____ surprises—like the day I found a message in a bottle, written by a child from across the ocean. It made me think about how we’re all connected, even when we’re ____32____ by miles of water.​ Living here has taught me that home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. It’s the way the light hits the waves at sunset, the sound of laughter from the harbor cafes, and the ____33____ that comes from knowing you belong. The sea continues to ____34____ me, just as it did that first morning.​ And when I see newcomers staring at the ocean with wonder, I ____35____ them the same invitation the old fisherman once gave me: “Come, let the sea teach you.” 21.

(这里的生活节奏比我所知道的要慢，当地人说的方言需要几周的时间才能理解。)”可知，作者最初到达这个地方时，因为自己无法适应生活节奏，无法听懂方言而倍感失落，显然这种失落其实就暗含着作者那种追求完美的心态，一旦无法变得完美，就感到失落。故选A项。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这座城镇不再让人觉得陌生，大海成了朋友，而不是一个谜。A. problem问题；B. friend朋友；C. stranger陌生人；D. enemy敌人。根据前文“But it was the sea that eventually made me feel at home.​ (但最终让我有宾至如归的感觉的是大海。)”可知，作者在异乡的不适应最终因为大海消失不见，故可推测出大海在他心里是一个好东西，甚至好朋友。故选B项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：大海仍然隐藏着惊喜——比如有一天，我在瓶子里发现了一条来自大洋彼岸的孩子写的信息。A. hides隐藏；B. solves解决；C. throws扔；D. keeps保持。根据后文“like the day I found a message in a bottle, written by a child from across the ocean (比如有一天，我在瓶子里发现了一条来自大洋彼岸的孩子写的信息)”可知，作者出海时拾到一个瓶子，这对他来说是一个惊喜，而且意想不到，即大海隐藏着一些东西等待作者发现。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这让我想到了我们是如何联系在一起的，即使我们相隔数英里的水。A. united团结；B. separated分离；C. joined加入；D. mixed混合。根据前文“like the day I found a message in a bottle, written by a child from across the ocean (比如有一天，我在瓶子里发现了一条来自大洋彼岸的孩子写的信息)”可知，作者拾到的瓶子来自大洋彼岸，即作者和瓶子的主人被海水分离隔开。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是日落时阳光照射海浪的方式，港口咖啡馆的笑声，以及知道自己属于这里而带来的快乐。A. sadness悲伤；B. loneliness孤独；C. joy快乐；D. fear害怕。根据前文“When I first moved to this coastal town, I felt like a stranger in a foreign land. (当我第一次搬到这个沿海小镇时，我感觉自己就像一个异乡的陌生人。)”可知，最初作者感觉自己身在异乡为异客，这是一种失落感，故可推测当他因为大海而感到宾至如归时，满心的欢喜。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：大海继续让我感到惊讶，就像第一天早上一样。A. challenge挑战；B. bore使厌烦；C. disappoint使失望；D. amaze使惊奇，使惊讶。根据前文“These lessons weren’t just about fishing—they were about learning to observe the world carefully.​ (这些课程不仅仅是关于钓鱼，而是关于学会仔细观察世界。)”可知，在老人的带领下，作者通过海洋学会观察世界，去发现一些新的东西，可以说海洋不断让他有新的发现，让他惊讶。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我看到新来者惊奇地凝视着大海时，我向他们发出了老渔夫曾经给我的同一个邀请：“来吧，让大海教你。”A. offer提供；B. lend借；C. return返回；D. award奖励。根据句中“the same invitation the old fisherman once gave me (老渔夫曾经给我的同一个邀请)”可知，作者向老人一样，邀请新来者去体验海洋的课程，即向新来者发出邀请。故选A项。 第二节 语法填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)​ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。​ The tradition of storytelling is as old as humanity itself.

Raindrops plopped onto her yellow raincoat as she knelt, careful not to startle the trembling creature. “Poor thing,” she whispered, gently cupping it in her palms. The bird’s heart thudded against her fingers like a tiny drum. At home, her grandmother helped fashion a nest from an old shoebox lined with cotton balls. “Call him Thimble,” Gran suggested, smiling at the bird’s size. For three weeks, Lily fed Thimble crushed blueberries and water from an eyedropper. Each morning, he chirped greetings when she opened her bedroom door. One afternoon, he hopped onto her outstretched finger—a wobbly but brave first step. Then came the day Lily knew would arrive. Thimble fluttered from his shoebox nest to the windowsill, eyeing the sky. His wing, once crooked, now moved in smooth arcs. Lily opened the window. A breeze ruffled her hair as Thimble hesitated, then launched into flight. He circled twice above the roof, as if saying goodbye, before disappearing into the clouds. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好; 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That evening, as Lily sat on the porch, a familiar chirp made her look up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Lily walked into the room and looked up at the ceiling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That evening, as Lily sat on the porch, a familiar chirp made her look up. There, on the railing, was Thimble. His feathers glistened in the sunset, and he hopped toward her, chirping excitedly. Lily held out her hand, and he flew onto it, just like he used to. Gran came out with a smile, “He must have missed you.” Thimble stayed for hours, pecking at crumbs and singing. When night fell, he flew to the windowsill, as if not wanting to leave. Paragraph 2: Lily walked into the room and looked up at the ceiling. Thimble had built a small nest in the corner, using bits of cotton from his old shoebox. “He’s home,” she whispered, tears in her eyes. From then on, Thimble never left. He’d follow Lily around the house, sing her awake each morning, and even accompany her to the maple tree where they first met. Lily learned that love, like freedom, isn’t about letting go—it’s about finding a way to stay connected. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人与动物为线索展开。讲述女孩Lily在雨中救下一只受伤麻雀“Thimble”，在祖母帮助下悉心照料直至它能重新飞翔。Thimble 飞走后，却在傍晚又回到 Lily 身边，并最终选择留在她家里，表达了爱与自由的真谛。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“那个傍晚，当Lily坐在门廊时，一声熟悉的啁啾让她抬头。”可知，第一段可描写 Thimble 的归来与短暂相聚。 ② 由第二段首句内容“Lily走进房间，抬头望向天花板。”可知，第二段可描写Thimble在家中筑巢定居，升华主题。 2. 续写线索： 傍晚重逢——短暂停留——发现新居——永久相伴——感悟爱与陪伴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①啁啾：chirp/tweet/sing ②闪光：glisten/shine ③陪伴：accompany/follow/stay with 情绪类 ① 兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement ②爱：love/affection 【点睛】【高分句型1】When night fell, he flew to the windowsill, as if not wanting to leave.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Thimble never left.

Here are some amazing destinations that won’t break the bank.​ Yellowstone National Park​ Yellowstone is a wonderland for nature lovers. The park offers beautiful scenery, geothermal wonders like Old Faithful, and a chance to see wildlife such as bears, wolves, and bison. Camping in the park is an affordable option, with many campgrounds available. You can also enjoy picnicking, hiking, and fishing, all of which are free or low-cost activities.​ San Diego, California​ San Diego has a lot to offer families. The beaches are free to access, and you can spend days building sandcastles, swimming, and surfing. The San Diego Zoo is world - famous, but if you want to save money, you can visit the free Balboa Park, which is home to many museums, gardens, and theaters. There are also free summer concerts and events in the park.​ Orlando, Florida​ While Orlando is known for its theme parks like Disney World and Universal Studios, there are also many budget-friendly options. You can visit the free Lake Eola Park, where you can feed the swans, take a walk, or have a picnic. There are also public beaches nearby. Additionally, many hotels in the area offer free breakfast and shuttle services to the theme parks, which can help you save money. 1. Which of the following is a geothermal wonder in Yellowstone National Park? A. Lake Eola B. San Diego Zoo C. Balboa Park D. Old Faithful 2. What is a free activity mentioned in San Diego, California? A. Visiting Disney World B. Taking shuttle services to theme parks C. Attending summer concerts in Balboa Park D. Camping in the national park 3. In Orlando, Florida, what can help save money according to the passage? A. Free entry to the San Diego Zoo B. Many hotels offering free breakfast C. Free access to Yellowstone’s scenery D. Low-cost fishing in the park B​ When I came back from Quanzhou in the evening, my younger brother kept making a fuss. My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches. In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers. The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate. Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.​ 4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed? A. They are guided by professional interview teams​ B. They are created by capital through selection and editing​ C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers ​ D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children​ 5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?​ A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children​ B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts​ C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents​ D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent​ 6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?​ A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers​ B. Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera​ C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal​ D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera​ 7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?​ A. A framework of harmonious coexistence​ B. A framework of mutual understanding​ C. An opposing framework​ D. A framework of equal communication​ C​ Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the field of music in recent years. From composing music to producing it, AI is changing the way we create and experience music.​ One of the most exciting applications of AI in music is composition. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of music data and learn the patterns and structures of different genres. This allows them to compose original music that sounds like it was written by a human composer. Some AI-composed songs have even been released commercially and have received positive reviews.​ AI is also being used in music production. It can help with tasks such as mixing and mastering, which are traditionally done by audio engineers. AI-powered tools can analyze a song and make adjustments to the levels, EQ, and effects to create a more polished sound. This can save time and money for musicians and producers.​ In addition to composing and producing music, AI is also changing the way we listen to music. Music streaming services use AI algorithms to recommend songs and playlists based on a user’s listening history. This helps users discover new music that they are likely to enjoy.​ However, there are also concerns about the impact of AI on the music industry. Some musicians worry that AI will replace human composers and musicians, leading to a loss of creativity and originality. Others argue that AI is just a tool that can be used to enhance human creativity.​ 8. What is one application of AI in music mentioned in the passage?​ A. Teaching music lessons.​ B. Composing original music.​ C. Selling music online.​ D. Designing musical instruments.​ 9. How can AI help with music production?​ A. By writing lyrics.​ B. By playing musical instruments.​ C. By mixing and mastering songs.​ D. By promoting songs on social media.​ 10. How do music streaming services use AI?​ A. To create music videos.​ B. To recommend songs to users.​ C. To book concerts for artists.​ D. To sell merchandise.​ 11. What is a concern about AI in the music industry?​ A. It will make music more expensive.​ B. It will replace human composers and musicians.​ C It will reduce the quality of music.​ D. It will make music less popular.​ D​ The concept of time travel has fascinated humans for centuries, appearing in countless works of fiction. But is time travel really possible? According to some scientists, it might be.​ One of the key theories that suggests time travel could be possible is Einstein’s theory of relativity. The theory states that time is not absolute, but is relative to the observer. This means that time can pass at different rates depending on factors such as speed and gravity.​ For example, if an object is moving at a speed close to the speed of light, time for that object will pass more slowly relative to a stationary observer. This is known as time dilation. In theory, if a spaceship were to travel at near the speed of light for a few years, when it returned to Earth, hundreds of years might have passed.​ Another way time travel could be possible is through the use of wormholes. Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in space-time that connect two different points in time and space. If wormholes exist, they could potentially be used to travel back and forth in time.​ However, there are many challenges to making time travel a reality. For one thing, traveling at near the speed of light requires an enormous amount of energy. Wormholes, if they exist, are likely to be very small and unstable, making them unsuitable for travel.​ There are also paradoxes associated with time travel. For example, the grandfather paradox, which asks what would happen if you traveled back in time and killed your grandfather before your parent was born. This would mean you would never be born, so you couldn’t have traveled back in time to kill your grandfather.​ Despite these challenges, scientists continue to explore the possibility of time travel.

One afternoon, he hopped onto her outstretched finger—a wobbly but brave first step. Then came the day Lily knew would arrive.
