I went from owning a single makeup bag to more than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 4. Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A. To follow a trend online. B. To test a new budgeting app. C. To save money for a big purchase. D. To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 5. What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A. Replace items before they run out. B. Find products in secondhand stores. C. Delay replacement purchases by five days. D. Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 6. Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A. Overly restrictive. B. Partially effective. C. Fully transformative. D. Completely unsuccessful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Shopping Less, Living More. B. Learning More, Stressing Less. C. Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D. Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. C Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries, and education is no exception. AI-powered tools and technologies are being increasingly integrated into educational settings, bringing about both opportunities and challenges. One of the significant benefits of AI in education is personalized learning. AI algorithms can analyze students’ learning patterns, strengths, and weaknesses based on their performance data, such as test scores, assignment completion, and engagement in class. With this information, educational platforms can offer customized learning materials and paths, ensuring that each student receives instruction tailored to their individual needs. For example, a student who struggles with math concepts can be provided with additional practice exercises and detailed explanations, while a more advanced student can be offered challenging enrichment activities. AI also has the potential to enhance teaching efficiency. Intelligent tutoring systems can answer students’ questions in real-time, providing immediate feedback and support. This reduces the workload on teachers, allowing them to focus more on higher-level tasks, such as curriculum design and one-on-one student interaction. Additionally, AI-based assessment tools can quickly grade assignments and tests, providing teachers with timely data on students’ progress. However, there are concerns associated with AI in education. One of the main issues is the potential for bias in AI algorithms. If the data used to train the algorithms is incomplete or contains biases, the resulting educational recommendations may be unfair or inaccurate. Another concern is the over-reliance on technology. If students become too dependent on AI-powered tools, they may lose important skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving. To fully realize the potential of AI in education, it is essential to address these challenges. Educators, researchers, and policymakers need to work together to ensure that AI is developed and used in an ethical and effective manner, striking a balance between leveraging technology and maintaining the human touch in education. 8. How does AI enable personalized learning? A. By providing the same learning materials to all students. B. By analyzing students’ performance data to offer customized instruction. C. By replacing teachers completely in the classroom. D. By only focusing on students' strengths. 9. What is the advantage of AI-based assessment tools for teachers? A. They can make teachers’ work more difficult. B. They can provide students with entertainment. C. They can quickly grade assignments and tests, offering timely data on students’ progress. D. They can replace students’ thinking and problem-solving. 10. What are the concerns about AI in education? A. AI algorithms are always accurate and unbiased. B. Students may become over-reliant on technology and lose important skills. C. AI cannot assist teachers in curriculum design. D. AI-powered tools are too expensive for schools to afford. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI has no impact on education. B. AI only brings benefits to education. C. AI is transforming education with both opportunities and challenges. D. AI will completely take over the education industry. D One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on. In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday", where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered at a discounted price by travel agents. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK. In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry---when people go on holiday in their own country---is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself. 12. What mainly caused Britons to travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s? A. The lower cost of flights. B. The bad weather in the UK. C. The trend of going overseas. D. The rise of tourism industry. 13. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Easy to handle. B. Steady in amount. C. Flexible to change. D. Available for use. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons to holiday in the UK. B. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits. C Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s. D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK. 15. What's the author's attitude towards UK's domestic tourism industry? A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Pessimistic D. Critical. 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。 Some days it seems nearly impossible to find even half an hour for a workout. ____16____ This means that if you manage to get three 10-minute exercise periods, you greatly reduce the possibility of developing serious health problems later in life. So it’s truly worth scheduling these short movement breaks into your day. One simple way to exercise is by walking every day. You can walk your dog. If you usually just let your dog out a few times a day, turn one of those outings into a proper walk with it. Gradually, you’ll notice that your 10-minute walk might become a 20-or 30-minute one on some days. ____17____ For those who are used to running, it’s quite convenient to break into a jog whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have comfortable shoes on. ____18____So after this quick exercise, you can smoothly return to work or go on with whatever activity you were busy with before. ____19____Choose three songs that always get you active. Since most songs last between 3 — 4 minutes, three of them provide the perfect time for a short workout. Just move to the rhythm (韵律) of these songs in any way that feels right to you. This can even be done in the comfort of your own home. Doing housework can also be a form of exercise. Ten minutes spent sweeping leaves or cutting unwanted branches in your yard are part of your daily chores. If you complete these tasks every day for a week, you will get some exercise.____20____ These activities all count as 10 minutes of movement, contributing to your overall daily exercise goals. A. Joining a group is necessary. B. The first thing to prepare is a pair of sports shoes. C. Besides, you’ll also save some money on keeping your yard orderly. D. However, the benefits of exercise are widely recognized. E. Another enjoyable way to exercise is through music. F. Jogging for 10 minutes won’t make you overly sweaty or mess your hair due to the short time. G. If you don’t have such an animal friend, force yourself to take a daily walk at a specific time. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分 45 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。 Bridget Watson is the owner of Cafe Sweets.

I went from owning a single makeup bag to more than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 4. Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A. To follow a trend online. B. To test a new budgeting app. C. To save money for a big purchase. D. To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 5. What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A. Replace items before they run out. B. Find products in secondhand stores. C. Delay replacement purchases by five days. D. Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 6. Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A. Overly restrictive. B. Partially effective. C. Fully transformative. D. Completely unsuccessful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Shopping Less, Living More. B. Learning More, Stressing Less. C. Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D. Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从2014 年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem.(2019 年 11 月，在黑色星期五花费3000美元后，我陷入了低谷，为自己感到羞愧。我知道我有问题)” 以及第二段“if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should?(如果我不想停止购物，这是不是意味着我应该停止呢)” 可知，作者开始不买挑战是为了改掉不健康的购物习惯。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On January 1, 2020, I started a year - long no - buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement.(2020年1月1日，我开始了为期一年的不买挑战，有三条规则：只在食物和账单等必需品上花钱；只有在美容或时尚物品用完时才更换；在购买任何替代品前等待五天)” 可知，作者不买挑战的规则之一是将替换购买推迟五天。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred... For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs.(最初几周感觉还能应付——我有动力去改变。但很快我的欲望和需求就变得模糊不清…… 在这一年剩下的时间里，我试图为那些介于我的欲望和需求之间灰色地带的购买行为找理由)” 可知，作者在第一年的不买挑战中，虽然一开始有改变的动力，但后来还是会为一些不必要的购买找理由，说明这个挑战只是部分有效。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可推知，文章主要讲述了作者从2014年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。所以短文的最佳标题为“少购物，多生活”。故选A。 C Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries, and education is no exception. AI-powered tools and technologies are being increasingly integrated into educational settings, bringing about both opportunities and challenges. One of the significant benefits of AI in education is personalized learning. AI algorithms can analyze students’ learning patterns, strengths, and weaknesses based on their performance data, such as test scores, assignment completion, and engagement in class. With this information, educational platforms can offer customized learning materials and paths, ensuring that each student receives instruction tailored to their individual needs. For example, a student who struggles with math concepts can be provided with additional practice exercises and detailed explanations, while a more advanced student can be offered challenging enrichment activities. AI also has the potential to enhance teaching efficiency. Intelligent tutoring systems can answer students’ questions in real-time, providing immediate feedback and support. This reduces the workload on teachers, allowing them to focus more on higher-level tasks, such as curriculum design and one-on-one student interaction. Additionally, AI-based assessment tools can quickly grade assignments and tests, providing teachers with timely data on students’ progress. However, there are concerns associated with AI in education. One of the main issues is the potential for bias in AI algorithms. If the data used to train the algorithms is incomplete or contains biases, the resulting educational recommendations may be unfair or inaccurate. Another concern is the over-reliance on technology. If students become too dependent on AI-powered tools, they may lose important skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving. To fully realize the potential of AI in education, it is essential to address these challenges. Educators, researchers, and policymakers need to work together to ensure that AI is developed and used in an ethical and effective manner, striking a balance between leveraging technology and maintaining the human touch in education. 8. How does AI enable personalized learning? A. By providing the same learning materials to all students. B. By analyzing students’ performance data to offer customized instruction. C. By replacing teachers completely in the classroom. D. By only focusing on students' strengths. 9. What is the advantage of AI-based assessment tools for teachers? A. They can make teachers’ work more difficult. B. They can provide students with entertainment. C. They can quickly grade assignments and tests, offering timely data on students’ progress. D. They can replace students’ thinking and problem-solving. 10. What are the concerns about AI in education? A. AI algorithms are always accurate and unbiased. B. Students may become over-reliant on technology and lose important skills. C. AI cannot assist teachers in curriculum design. D. AI-powered tools are too expensive for schools to afford. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI has no impact on education. B. AI only brings benefits to education. C. AI is transforming education with both opportunities and challenges. D. AI will completely take over the education industry. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人工智能（AI）在教育领域的应用情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“AI algorithms can analyze students' learning patterns, strengths, and weaknesses based on their performance data, such as test scores, assignment completion, and engagement in class. With this information, educational platforms can offer customized learning materials and paths, ensuring that each student receives instruction tailored to their individual needs. (人工智能算法可以根据学生的表现数据，如考试成绩、作业完成情况和课堂参与度，分析他们的学习模式、优势和劣势。利用这些信息，教育平台可以提供定制的学习材料和路径，确保每个学生都能得到适合他们个人需求的指导)” 可知，人工智能通过分析学生的表现数据来提供定制化的教学，从而实现个性化学习。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Additionally, AI-based assessment tools can quickly grade assignments and tests, providing teachers with timely data on students’ progress. (此外，基于人工智能的评估工具可以快速批改作业和测试，为教师提供学生进度的及时数据)”可知，基于人工智能的评估工具对教师的优势在于能够快速批改作业和测试，并提供学生进度的及时数据。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Another concern is the over-reliance on technology. If students become too dependent on AI-powered tools, they may lose important skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving. (另一个担忧是对技术的过度依赖。如果学生过于依赖人工智能驱动的工具，他们可能会失去批判性思维和解决问题等重要技能)”可知，对人工智能在教育方面的担忧之一是学生可能会过度依赖技术并失去重要技能。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various industries, and education is no exception. AI - powered tools and technologies are being increasingly integrated into educational settings, bringing about both opportunities and challenges. (人工智能（AI）正在迅速改变各个行业，教育也不例外。人工智能驱动的工具和技术正越来越多地融入教育环境，带来了机遇和挑战)”可知，短文主要关于人工智能正在以机遇与挑战改变教育。故选C。 D One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on. In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday", where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered at a discounted price by travel agents. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK. In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry---when people go on holiday in their own country---is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself. 12. What mainly caused Britons to travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s? A. The lower cost of flights. B. The bad weather in the UK. C. The trend of going overseas. D. The rise of tourism industry. 13. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Easy to handle. B. Steady in amount. C. Flexible to change. D Available for use. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons to holiday in the UK. B. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits. C. Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s. D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK. 15. What's the author's attitude towards UK's domestic tourism industry? A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic. C. Pessimistic D. Critical. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。英国人喜欢海滨度假，本文介绍了英国人几十年来度假习惯的演变，从上世纪70年代出国游到如今越来越多人选择国内游。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays.(20世纪70年代初，英国普通家庭都能负担得起航空旅行，越来越多的英国人开始在暑假出国旅行。)”可知，20世纪70年代初，较低的机票价格是英国人出国度假的主要原因。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句“In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, (20世纪80年代和90年代,英国的年轻人变得更加富有) 和后句“As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece.( 因此，年轻人开始成群结队地出国，去西班牙、希腊等地。)”可知，英国年轻人更加富有，因此他们拥有更多的可自由使用的收入。所以disposable为“可自由使用的”之意，与available for use同义。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. (气候变化意味着英国现在的气候比以前更温暖，所以人们并不总是觉得他们需要去国外寻找好天气。)”可知，气候变化影响了英国人度假习惯的变化。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.(英国一直以国际探险而闻名，但现在它正开始发现自己)”可知，有更多的英国人转为国内游，因此作者对英国国内旅游业持乐观态度。故选B。 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。 Some days it seems nearly impossible to find even half an hour for a workout. ____16____ This means that if you manage to get three 10-minute exercise periods, you greatly reduce the possibility of developing serious health problems later in life. So it’s truly worth scheduling these short movement breaks into your day. One simple way to exercise is by walking every day. You can walk your dog. If you usually just let your dog out a few times a day, turn one of those outings into a proper walk with it. Gradually, you’ll notice that your 10-minute walk might become a 20-or 30-minute one on some days. ____17____ For those who are used to running, it’s quite convenient to break into a jog whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have comfortable shoes on. ____18____So after this quick exercise, you can smoothly return to work or go on with whatever activity you were busy with before. ____19____Choose three songs that always get you active. Since most songs last between 3 — 4 minutes, three of them provide the perfect time for a short workout. Just move to the rhythm (韵律) of these songs in any way that feels right to you. This can even be done in the comfort of your own home. Doing housework can also be a form of exercise. Ten minutes spent sweeping leaves or cutting unwanted branches in your yard are part of your daily chores. If you complete these tasks every day for a week, you will get some exercise.____20____ These activities all count as 10 minutes of movement, contributing to your overall daily exercise goals. A. Joining a group is necessary. B. The first thing to prepare is a pair of sports shoes. C. Besides, you’ll also save some money on keeping your yard orderly. D.
