If you have a newer TV, all you have to do is select one of the built-in apps and sign up to start watching. You have more options with devices such as an Apple TV, Netflix or Hulu, and you don’t have to be a tech expert to operate them. Netflix The granddaddy of streaming built a dynasty on engaging shows with established fan bases, like Friends and Grey’ Anatomy. Then Netflix went all in on award-winning and fan-favorite originals such as House of Cards. Now it’s also the go-to for comedy specials with the likes of Jim Gaffigan and more, making it vital to stand-up fans. Hulu Once little more than Netflix’s replacement, Hulu is coming for top billing. Since Disney purchased the streamer in 2019, it has turned Hulu into a giant: a basic subscription includes original Hulu shows Only Murders in the Building. Go for Hulu’s Live TV and you’ll get 95-plus channels including the big networks, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. Apple TV+ Apple’s is the only major service with original programming and no ads.

A recent survey reveals that 2 in 5 American teenagers are actively earning income through digital channels, surpassing traditional jobs like babysitting and lemonade stands. Teenagers today are taking advantage of the power of technology to launch online businesses. Unlike the past, when setting up a business required extensive resources and community networks, all teens need now is a smartphone and an Internet connection. This simplicity has paved the way for young people to explore diverse ways of earning money. Popular methods include selling clothes and accessories (配饰), posting product reviews, securing brand sponsorships, and drop-shipping. “They’ve had the advantage of growing up with the Internet and seeing these fields take off,” says Cameron Zoub, co-founder of Whop. an online business platform. The success of teen entrepreneurs further fuels this trend. For instance, one of the popular social media platforms creator Klauser earns $25,000 to $50,000 per month teaching others how to go viral on the platform. His journey began in late 2023 when he sought an additional income source. “It’s a great way for me to build a stable income by doing what I’m passionate about: helping people,” he shares. Similarly. Lily Bond, founder of the spice company Spyce Girl, started her business at 13 to fund her first laptop. Now 21, she reflects on her journey: “Learning to be financially literate and responsible at such a young age was incredibly empowering (授权).” Her business achieved annual earnings in the low six figures during her teenage years. Experts agree that the case of access to digital platforms has transformed the traditional job market for teenagers. By taking advantage of these opportunities, young entrepreneurs are not only earning money but also gaining invaluable skills that will benefit them in adulthood. 4. What has contributed most to the rise of teenage online entrepreneurship? A. A growing number of traditional jobs. B. The simplicity of starting a business online. C. The widespread availability of computers for teenagers. D. A decrease in traditional employment opportunities for teens. 5. Why does Klauser consider his online income source significant? A. It allows him to pursue his passion while earning a stable income. B. It provides him with opportunities to review products for brands, C. It teaches him the importance of in-game currency. D. It enables him to connect with others through gaming. 6. What can be inferred about the impact of online entrepreneurship on teenagers? A. It discourages them from seeking traditional employment. B. It empowers them with financial literacy and independence. C. It makes them escape from real-world interactions. D. It creates barriers to accessing higher education. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Teenagers are abandoning traditional jobs in favour of online work. B. Social media has become the primary job market for young people. C. Online platforms are transforming teenagers into successful entrepreneurs. D. Teenagers lack the resources to participate in traditional businesses. C Whales (巨头鲸) washed up on a beach in Orkney, Scotland. It was the largest mass stranding (搁浅) of whales in Scotland for decades. Scientists don’t know exactly why whales beach themselves. One theory is that climate change is driving whales’ food closer to the shoreline, where they then get stuck as the tide goes out. If a single animal is found, it is usually because it is sick or has been injured. In the Orkney stranding, 12 of the whales were still alive when they became beached. When this happens, some organizations assess whether a whale can be safely refloated. Professionals and members of the community often come together, cover the animal in wet sheets and pour buckets of water over it until the animal drifts back out to the ocean, though it’s not always a happy ending. For those that don’t survive, a post-mortem examination (尸检) is often carried out. Dr Brownlow of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme told the BBC that these can reveal a lot about the whale’s life and the reasons why it was beached. In 2024, a very rare species of whale turned up on a beach in New Zealand -a spade-toothed whale. While this is sad, the body was analyzed in order to help researchers acquire new information about the species. “From a scientific and conservation point of view, this is huge”, Gabe Davies, a Department of Conservation official, said. Some beached whales who don’t survive have their skeletons sent to museums, while many others are returned to the water. This ensures the oceanic environment benefits because whale bodies give off many nutrients. “When they fall and die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, they form these little nutrient-rich islands that can support a huge diversity of life”, says Dr Brownlow. The more research that can be done, the better. For now, we can only do what we can to keep our oceans clean and safe. 8. What was surprising about the Orkney whale stranding? A. The types of the beached whales. B. The value of the beached whales. C. The habitats the beached whales. D. The number of the beached whales. 9. What do we know about the beached whales? A. Some of them can be rescued. B. They prefer the food on the beach. C. Professionals can treat them alone. D. Climate change causes them to rest on the shore. 10. What happened to the body of a spade-toothed whale? A. It was covered by wet sheets. B. It was carried to museums nearby. C. It contributed much to the research. D. It was instantly thrown back into the ocean. 11. Why can whales be good for other ocean life? A. They both live in harmony. B. Nutrients after their death are valuable. C. The island they hide on are full of food. D. Other sea living things feed on their bodies. Harvard University scientists have developed a durable and economical material that are biodegradable, drawing inspiration from insects’ hard outer shells. The inventors of this material suggest it has diverse potential applications and could potentially serve as a greener alternative to plastics in the future. The material, composed of shrimp (虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It boasts characteristics such as being lightweight, thin, clear, and tough as nails. One of the key advantages of this material is that it breaks down naturally over time. Back in the1950s and 1960s, the toughness and flexibility of plastic were a game-changer in the field of materials science. But fast-forward a few decades, it is the very toughness and flexibility of plastic that is raising questions about how appropriate it is for single-use items like shopping bags, or short-term household products, used in the home for a few years before they end up in a dump where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years? The shrilk’s creators are optimistic about its vast potential. The materials used to manufacture shrilk are readily available in nature. They can be found in a wide range of sources including shrimp shells, insect bodies, and living plants. This availability makes the cost of shrilk low and its mass production possible, especially for products that require a significant amount of material. Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other household products. They’re even exploring, combining it with other materials like carbon fibers, to give it new properties. 12. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s ________. A. remarkable design B. interesting name C major features D. basic elements 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “degrade” in Paragraph 2? A. Protect. B. Build up. C. Break down. D. Destroy. 14. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because ________. A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are plentiful in nature 15. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this text? A. A Possible Alternative Plastic B. The Harm of One-time Products C Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research D.

As a nine-year-old girl, I was old enough to do a lot of things. “Alana is going to cook? Alone?” my brother, Caleb, asked with a laugh. “That is going to be a disaster!” Caleb used big words to act older and smarter than me. Having a big brother can be annoying. My parents looked at each other. My dad lowered his eyebrows. Would they let me do it? I held my breath. “OK,” Mom said. “But Alana, please take your time. And be careful.” I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I laid out everything I would need. I broke three eggs into a bowl and added in some flour and butter. Using an electric mixer was easy. I had done it with Mom a million times before. I turned on the mixer at medium speed — and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! “WHOA!” I cried. What a disaster! I had to wipe batter (面糊) off my face, then off the cupboard and floor. “Yuck! Alana’s a mess! Alana’s a mess!” my brother laughed. “Caleb, you just get out of here,” I yelled, waving a spoon. “Leave me alone.” Caleb laughed and walked away. I shook my head and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again. Referring to the recipe, I added a little of this and a little of that into the bowl, placed the little rounded dough (面团) balls onto the pan and put it into the oven. After a while, I looked inside the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little batter melted into a huge, gluey puddle (水坑) that was flowing to the edges of the pan. UGH! I pulled the pan out of the oven just as Caleb walked back into the kitchen. “What in the world?” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup?” “You just be quiet,” I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Just leave me alone.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My brother looked at me for a long minute. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Oh, Alana, you did it.

It was the largest mass stranding (搁浅) of whales in Scotland for decades. Scientists don’t know exactly why whales beach themselves. One theory is that climate change is driving whales’ food closer to the shoreline, where they then get stuck as the tide goes out. If a single animal is found, it is usually because it is sick or has been injured. In the Orkney stranding, 12 of the whales were still alive when they became beached. When this happens, some organizations assess whether a whale can be safely refloated. Professionals and members of the community often come together, cover the animal in wet sheets and pour buckets of water over it until the animal drifts back out to the ocean, though it’s not always a happy ending. For those that don’t survive, a post-mortem examination (尸检) is often carried out. Dr Brownlow of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme told the BBC that these can reveal a lot about the whale’s life and the reasons why it was beached. In 2024, a very rare species of whale turned up on a beach in New Zealand -a spade-toothed whale. While this is sad, the body was analyzed in order to help researchers acquire new information about the species. “From a scientific and conservation point of view, this is huge”, Gabe Davies, a Department of Conservation official, said. Some beached whales who don’t survive have their skeletons sent to museums, while many others are returned to the water. This ensures the oceanic environment benefits because whale bodies give off many nutrients. “When they fall and die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, they form these little nutrient-rich islands that can support a huge diversity of life”, says Dr Brownlow. The more research that can be done, the better. For now, we can only do what we can to keep our oceans clean and safe. 8. What was surprising about the Orkney whale stranding? A. The types of the beached whales. B. The value of the beached whales. C. The habitats the beached whales. D. The number of the beached whales. 9. What do we know about the beached whales? A. Some of them can be rescued. B. They prefer the food on the beach. C. Professionals can treat them alone. D. Climate change causes them to rest on the shore. 10. What happened to the body of a spade-toothed whale? A. It was covered by wet sheets. B. It was carried to museums nearby. C. It contributed much to the research. D. It was instantly thrown back into the ocean. 11. Why can whales be good for other ocean life? A. They both live in harmony. B. Nutrients after their death are valuable. C. The island they hide on are full of food. D. Other sea living things feed on their bodies. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11.

The inventors of this material suggest it has diverse potential applications and could potentially serve as a greener alternative to plastics in the future. The material, composed of shrimp (虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It boasts characteristics such as being lightweight, thin, clear, and tough as nails. One of the key advantages of this material is that it breaks down naturally over time. Back in the1950s and 1960s, the toughness and flexibility of plastic were a game-changer in the field of materials science. But fast-forward a few decades, it is the very toughness and flexibility of plastic that is raising questions about how appropriate it is for single-use items like shopping bags, or short-term household products, used in the home for a few years before they end up in a dump where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years? The shrilk’s creators are optimistic about its vast potential. The materials used to manufacture shrilk are readily available in nature. They can be found in a wide range of sources including shrimp shells, insect bodies, and living plants. This availability makes the cost of shrilk low and its mass production possible, especially for products that require a significant amount of material. Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They’re also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other household products. They’re even exploring, combining it with other materials like carbon fibers, to give it new properties. 12. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk’s ________. A. remarkable design B. interesting name C. major features D. basic elements 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “degrade” in Paragraph 2? A. Protect. B. Build up. C. Break down. D. Destroy. 14. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because ________. A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are plentiful in nature 15. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this text? A. A Possible Alternative Plastic B. The Harm of One-time Products C. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research D. Recent Progress in Environment Protection 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名叫shrilk的新型材料，主要包括这种材料的特性、潜在应用以及其作为塑料替代品的潜力。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Harvard University scientists have developed a durable and economical material that are biodegradable, drawing inspiration from insects’ hard outer shells. The inventors of this material suggest it has diverse potential applications and could potentially serve as a greener alternative to plastics in the future. (哈佛大学的科学家从昆虫坚硬的外壳中获得灵感，开发出一种耐用且经济的可生物降解材料。这种材料的发明者表示，它有多种潜在的应用，未来可能会成为塑料的绿色替代品)”和“It boasts characteristics such as being lightweight, thin, clear, and tough as nails. (它具有轻、薄、透明、坚韧等特点)”可知，本段在介绍虾壳丝的名称由来之外，主要展现的是这种材料的主要特点。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years? (制造能持续一千年的东西有什么意义)”可知，塑料能在自然界中存在非常长的时间，由此可知，塑料的降解时间非常久，画线词意思应该与Break down“分解”一致。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The materials used to manufacture shrilk are readily available in nature. They can be found in a wide range of sources including shrimp shells, insect bodies, and living plants. (用于制造虾壳丝的材料在自然界中很容易得到。它们的来源很广，包括虾壳、昆虫身体和活的植物)”可知，对于发明者而言，这种材料有很大的潜力，部分原因是它的原材料丰富。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Harvard University scientists have developed a durable and economical material that are biodegradable, drawing inspiration from insects’ hard outer shells. (哈佛大学的科学家从昆虫坚硬的外壳中获得灵感，开发出一种耐用且经济的可生物降解材料)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种名叫shrilk的新型材料，主要包括这种材料的特性、潜在应用以及其作为塑料替代品的潜力。因此，A项“一种可能的塑料替代品”最准确地概括了文章的核心信息，直接关联到这种新型材料及其作为塑料替代品的潜力，适合作为文章标题。故选A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。 How to Introduce Friends to Other Friends You may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other. ___16___.

As a nine-year-old girl, I was old enough to do a lot of things. “Alana is going to cook? Alone?” my brother, Caleb, asked with a laugh. “That is going to be a disaster!” Caleb used big words to act older and smarter than me. Having a big brother can be annoying. My parents looked at each other. My dad lowered his eyebrows. Would they let me do it? I held my breath. “OK,” Mom said. “But Alana, please take your time. And be careful.” I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I laid out everything I would need. I broke three eggs into a bowl and added in some flour and butter. Using an electric mixer was easy. I had done it with Mom a million times before. I turned on the mixer at medium speed — and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! “WHOA!” I cried. What a disaster! I had to wipe batter (面糊) off my face, then off the cupboard and floor. “Yuck! Alana’s a mess! Alana’s a mess!” my brother laughed. “Caleb, you just get out of here,” I yelled, waving a spoon. “Leave me alone.” Caleb laughed and walked away. I shook my head and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again. Referring to the recipe, I added a little of this and a little of that into the bowl, placed the little rounded dough (面团) balls onto the pan and put it into the oven. After a while, I looked inside the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little batter melted into a huge, gluey puddle (水坑) that was flowing to the edges of the pan. UGH! I pulled the pan out of the oven just as Caleb walked back into the kitchen. “What in the world?” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup?” “You just be quiet,” I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Just leave me alone.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My brother looked at me for a long minute. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Oh, Alana, you did it. All by yourself?” my mom asked, smiling. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My brother looked at me for a long minute. Then he stopped laughing. “Hey, it’s okay,” he said softly. “Let’s figure this out together.” I was surprised. I had expected more teasing. He picked up the recipe and studied it carefully. “I think you added too much liquid,” he said. “Let’s try again and measure everything precisely.” With his help, we prepared the dough once more, making sure every ingredient was just right. This time, when we put the pan into the oven, I felt more confident. “Oh Alana, you did it. All by yourself?” my mom asked, smiling. I was about to say no when Caleb cut in. “Yes, she did. I just gave a little help at the end. Alana worked really hard.” I looked at him in gratitude. Mom took out the perfectly baked cookies. They smelled delicious. Dad came in, and we all sat around the table, enjoying the cookies. I was so happy. Not only had I made cookies, but I also learned that even though having a big brother can be annoying sometimes, he can also be a great helper when you need him most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了九岁的作者请求独自做曲奇饼干，哥哥Caleb嘲笑这会是一场灾难，但父母最终同意。作者在厨房开始制作，过程中状况百出，先是面糊溅得到处都是，后来烤出的曲奇不成形，变成了“曲奇汤”，作者难过得落泪。哥哥看到后不再嘲笑，而是帮作者分析问题，一起重新制作。最后曲奇成功出炉，妈妈夸赞作者，哥哥也维护作者，一家人开心地分享曲奇，作者不仅成功做出曲奇，还体会到哥哥也会在需要时给予帮助。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我哥哥看了我很长一分钟”可知，第一段可描写哥哥不再嘲笑作者，而是安慰作者，帮助作者分析失败的原因，然后两人一起仔细地制作曲奇。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘哦，Alana，你做到了。一个人吗？’妈妈笑着问”可知，第二段可描写哥哥回答妈妈的问题，表示作者很能干，然后一家人一起分享曲奇，作者为自己成功做成曲奇感到高兴，也明白了哥哥会帮助自己。 2. 续写线索：哥哥看着作者——哥哥安慰作者，分析原因——两人一同做曲奇——作者完成曲奇——哥哥表扬作者——作者的感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①弄清楚：figure out/work out/find out ②预期：expect/anticipate ③研究：study/research/look into ④提供：give/offer/provide 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②感激：gratitude/gratefulness ③高兴的：happy/delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] With his help, we prepared the dough once more, making sure every ingredient was just right.
