From traditional print media and broadcast media to the rise of new media and social media, the form and function of the media have been continuously enriched and expanded, profoundly affecting every aspect of society and individuals. Digital media, with its characteristics of rapid transmission and strong interactivity, has gradually become the main force of information dissemination. People can obtain a large amount of information through various digital platforms anytime and anywhere, which greatly facilitates communication and exchanges between people. However, while digital media brings convenience, it also brings problems such as information overload. Faced with a flood of information, people often find it difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which to some extent reduces the efficiency of information acquisition. Social media, as an important part of new media, plays an increasingly important role in shaping public opinion. It provides a platform for people to express their views and exchange ideas, promoting the formation of public opinion on various social issues. But at the same time, the spread of fake news on social media has also become a prominent problem. Some false information spreads rapidly through social networks, misleading the public and even triggering social panic, which poses a severe challenge to media credibility. The trend of media convergence is becoming increasingly obvious. Traditional media are actively integrating with digital technology to explore new modes of information dissemination. For example, many newspapers and TV stations have set up their own digital platforms to realize the integration of print media, broadcast media and digital media. This integration not only enriches the forms of media products but also improves the efficiency of information dissemination. However, in the process of media convergence, issues such as privacy have also attracted widespread attention. The collection and use of user data by media platforms have raised concerns about the protection of personal privacy. In the face of these challenges, improving media literacy has become an urgent task for the whole society. The public needs to learn to correctly identify information, rationally view the content spread by the media, and avoid being misled by false information. At the same time, media regulation is also crucial. Relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of the media industry, standardize the behavior of media practitioners, and promote the healthy development of the media. Journalists, editors, media producers and other media practitioners shoulder important responsibilities. They should adhere to the principles of objectivity and fairness, ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information, and play a positive role in promoting cultural exchange and social progress. In the wave of media change, we need to correctly understand the current situation and challenges of media development, take active measures to deal with them, and promote the media to play a better role in the new era. 【译文欣赏】 媒体发展现状与挑战：在变革浪潮中前行 在当今时代，媒体正经历着前所未有的变革。从传统的印刷媒体和广播媒体，到新媒体和社交媒体的兴起，媒体的形式与功能不断丰富和拓展，深刻地影响着社会与个人的方方面面。 数字媒体凭借其传播迅速、互动性强等特点，逐渐成为信息传播的主力军。人们可以通过各种数字平台随时随地获取大量信息，极大地方便了人与人之间的沟通与交流。然而，在数字媒体带来便利的同时，也引发了诸如信息过载等问题。面对海量的信息，人们常常难以辨别其真伪，这在一定程度上降低了信息获取的效率。 社交媒体作为新媒体的重要组成部分，在塑造公众舆论方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。它为人们提供了表达观点和交流想法的平台，推动了各种社会问题上公众舆论的形成。但与此同时，社交媒体上假新闻的传播也成为一个突出问题。一些虚假信息通过社交网络迅速扩散，误导公众，甚至引发社会恐慌，这对媒体的公信力构成了严峻挑战。 媒体融合的趋势日益明显。传统媒体积极与数字技术融合，探索新的信息传播模式。例如，许多报纸和电视台都建立了自己的数字平台，实现了印刷媒体、广播媒体和数字媒体的融合。这种融合不仅丰富了媒体产品的形式，还提高了信息传播的效率。然而，在媒体融合的过程中，隐私等问题也引起了广泛关注。媒体平台对用户数据的收集和使用引发了人们对个人隐私保护的担忧。 面对这些挑战，提高公众的媒介素养已成为全社会的紧迫任务。公众需要学会正确识别信息，理性看待媒体传播的内容，避免被虚假信息误导。同时，媒体监管也至关重要。相关部门应加强对媒体行业的监管，规范媒体从业者的行为，促进媒体的健康发展。 记者、编辑、媒体制作人等媒体从业者肩负着重要责任。他们应秉持客观、公正的原则，确保信息的真实性和准确性，在促进文化交流和社会进步方面发挥积极作用。 在媒体变革的浪潮中，我们需要正确认识媒体发展的现状与挑战，采取积极措施加以应对，推动媒体在新时代发挥更好的作用。 【词汇积累】 核心词汇： print media（印刷媒体） broadcast media（广播媒体） new media（新媒体） social media（社交媒体） digital media（数字媒体） information overload（信息过载） fake news（假新闻） media convergence（媒体融合） media literacy（媒介素养） media regulation（媒体监管）​ 高频短语： undergo unprecedented changes（经历前所未有的变化） play an increasingly important role in（在…… 中扮演日益重要的角色） pose a severe challenge to（对…… 构成严峻挑战） adhere to（坚持） promote the healthy development of（促进…… 的健康发展）​​ ​ 【知识拓展】 本文围绕媒体发展展开，涉及多个媒体领域的知识点。媒体融合并非简单的技术叠加，而是传统媒体与新兴媒体在内容、渠道、平台等方面的深度整合，像许多传统报社推出新闻 APP，就是融合的具体体现。媒介素养不仅包括辨别信息真伪的能力，还涵盖对媒体运作机制、信息传播规律的认知，提升公众媒介素养能有效减少假新闻的负面影响。在当今数字化时代，数据隐私保护成为媒体发展的重要议题，各国纷纷出台相关法规，如欧盟的《通用数据保护条例》（GDPR），规范媒体平台对用户数据的使用，这也与文中提到的隐私问题相呼应。 【词汇延伸】​ 同根词拓展： regulate（v. 监管）→ regulation（n. 监管）→ regulatory（adj. 监管的）； literate（adj. 有素养的）→ literacy（n. 素养）→ illiteracy（n. 文盲，无知）​ 近义词辨析：spread 与 disseminate 都有 “传播” 之意，spread 使用范围更广，可用于具体和抽象事物，如 spread news（传播新闻）、spread a disease（传播疾病）；disseminate 更正式，多用于抽象的信息、知识等，如 disseminate knowledge（传播知识）​ 词汇搭配： shape public opinion（塑造公众舆论） facilitate communication（促进交流） enrich forms（丰富形式） strengthen supervision（加强监管） ensure authenticity（确保真实性） 高考真题链接 (2023·新高考Ⅱ卷)Reading Art：Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book，represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history，in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading，we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books，” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school，with the books as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume，deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago，but they record moments we can all relate__to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智)，wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press，books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently，as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway，artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers，pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view，the printed book is certainly ancient，but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function，a book must be activated by a user：the cover opened，the pages parted，the contents reviewed，perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked，a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private，“off-line” activity. 【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了《阅读艺术：书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书的内容以及本文作者对纸质书的乐观看法。 28.Where is the text most probably taken from?

From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient，but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. 抓标志：连接词 but 判类型：由转折连词 but 连接的并列句 试翻译：从 21 世纪的视角来看，纸质书固然古老，但它仍然和任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性。 And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked，a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private，“off-line” activity. 抓标志：连接词 where、and 判类型：包含定语从句的复合句，where 引导定语从句修饰 lives，其中还包含省略关系代词的定语从句 “we consume” 修饰 information 试翻译：而且，与我们日益网络化的生活 —— 在这种生活中，我们所获取的信息会被监控和追踪 —— 不同，纸质书仍然能提供一种完全私密的 “离线” 活动机会。 词汇搭配拓展 · From a 21st-century point of view 可与不同时间、视角搭配，如 “From a historical point of view（从历史的视角来看）”“From a personal point of view（从个人的角度来看）”。 · remain 常见搭配：remain silent（保持沉默）、remain unchanged（保持不变）、remain a mystery（仍是个谜）。 · consume 除 “获取，消费” 外，还可搭配 “time（时间）”“energy（精力）”，如 “consume much time（耗费大量时间）”。 · monitor 常见搭配：monitor the situation（监控局势）、monitor students’ progress（监督学生的进步）。 反义词 / 对应词补充 · ancient 的反义词：modern（现代的）、contemporary（当代的）。 · private 的对应词：public（公共的），如 “private space（私人空间）” 与 “public space（公共空间）”。 · off-line 的对应词：on-line（在线的），如 “off-line shopping（线下购物）” 与 “on-line shopping（线上购物）”。 语境运用示例 · 使用 “in contrast to” 造句：In contrast to his brother who is outgoing, he is quite shy.（与他外向的哥哥不同，他相当害羞。） · 使用 “increasingly” 造句：With the development of technology, people are increasingly dependent on smart phones.（随着科技的发展，人们越来越依赖智能手机。） · 使用 “wholly” 造句：The plan is wholly impractical.（这个计划完全不切实际。） 综合实战演练 含具体词数的七篇提供文章分析 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 356 探讨社交媒体对旅游的影响。指出社交媒体改变了年轻人获取旅游灵感的方式，旅游公司也将其作为营销手段，但同时也存在分散旅游体验、使旅游动机变得自我中心等弊端，最后作者客观评价社交媒体对旅游的变革作用。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 332 讲述 Param Jaggi 从小对拆解和制作东西有热情，长大后致力于用技术解决能源和环境问题，17 岁与人共同创立 Ecoviate 公司，研发环保产品，还计划推出在线平台鼓励年轻学生参与创新发明的故事，展现了他对环保事业的执着与贡献。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 341 介绍由人类细胞制成的微型生物机器人 “Anthrobots”，它能刺激受损区域的神经元生长，具有显著的治愈效果。文章还提及该突破的研究背景、Anthrobots 的优势及安全性等，体现了其在疾病治疗方面的潜力。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 324 阐述全球学生贷款债务问题，列举美国、日本等国家的相关数据，分析产生高债务的原因，介绍不同国家的解决措施，以及大学教授对债务免除影响的研究和观点，最后指出若实施债务减免应优先帮助最需要的学生。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 283 讨论好消息的价值。指出阅读好消息更令人愉悦，虽坏消息有其存在意义，但好消息能带来诸多益处，如减少压力、激发创造更好世界的灵感等，还介绍了专注于提供好消息的 “Good Good Good”，并引用编辑的话强调好消息的重要性。 Passage6 七选五 说明文 265 介绍超级沟通者的四个习惯，包括明确对话类型并相应回应、证明自己在倾听、提出大量恰当的问题、以理解为目标进行交流，这些习惯有助于建立与他人的真正联系。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 281 讲述 Joy 作为自然主义者助理，在 Audubon 中心工作，致力于让城市年轻人接触自然、了解自然的故事。通过一个调皮男孩在体验后的转变，体现了这种经历对孩子们的积极影响，也提及 Joy 自身的成长经历及她对这份工作的感悟。 Passage 1 (2025·岳阳高三质量监测)With the development of apps,social media has seemingly revolutionized the way we travel.Now,young people’s primary travel inspiration comes from social media.Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel agent like before,they scroll (滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal location. When it comes to planning the perfect holiday,social media has become a huge factor for many young people today.Everybody wants to return home with an album full of artistic and eye⁃catching photos that show off their trips.The best way to find that desired“post⁃able” holiday destination is now through social media itself.Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post,or a photo directly from a travel account,social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of its users. Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing strategies.The majority of airlines,tour companies,hotels and other travel⁃related businesses have their own Weibo,Xiaohongshu and Douyin pages to increase brand awareness.One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social influences.Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional celebrities—in 2018,1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on an app alone;and 63% of its 18—24⁃year⁃old users follow travel influenced account. However,as with many aspects of social media,there were obvious disadvantages to this travel revolution.It could be argued that the obsession with documenting and sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present and truly enjoying the experience.Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away from a strong desire to travel and have become more egocentric (自我为中心的),travelling now for the sake of likes and follows.This draws away from some of the most important elements of travel. In general,social media has revolutionized the way we travel,providing tonnes of inspiration and new opportunities.We should be grateful for the global awareness it has given us,and the insight into new places and different means of travel.At the same time,it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self⁃image or reflect on our own experiences any differently. 1.How did people get their primary travel inspiration in the past? A.By appreciating photos from a travel account. B.By viewing friends’ recent travel post. C.By consulting a travel agent. D.By scrolling through online posts. 2.Which of the following is right according to the text? A.Using Internet celebrities is a very effective marketing strategy. B.Most teenagers trust traditional celebrities more than social influences. C.The obsession with sharing travel experiences helps to enhance the travel experience. D.The travel inspiration of young people mainly comes from the tourism advertisements. 3.What is the author’s attitude to the travel revolution? A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Worried. D.Disapproving. 4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Ways to enhance the travel experiences. B.Elements of modern travel. C.Inspiration and opportunities from social media. D.The impact of social media on travel. Passage 2 (2025·济南高三模拟)When Param Jaggi was five years old,he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside.He started with toys and even broke a computer,which made his parents not too pleased.As he got older,he shifted from breaking things to building things,which greatly comforted his parents.In middle school,he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory,and his first project was making biofuels. Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy,he remained determined to make a difference to the environment.Eventually,his parents came around and started supporting his dreams.Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up,but he focused more on solving real problems,especially those related to the environment.  At 17,Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co⁃founded Ecoviate,a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems.He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive,by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use.Through Ecoviate,he designed products that could contribute to a greener future.One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”,a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce carbon emissions,and it’s available to many people at low prices.He also created a smartwatch that changed body heat into energy,which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones. Young Jaggi,now a third⁃grade college student studying engineering and economics,has become a famous eco⁃innovator and his company is developing promisingly.However,Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products.He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate,which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention.Students can submit a science project online,and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality. 1.What can we learn about Jaggi? A.He was curious by nature. B.He dreamed of being an engineer. C.He always annoyed his parents. D.He was addicted to playing with toys. 2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in Paragraph 2? A.Won out. B.Changed their minds. C.Walked around. D.Paid a visit. 3.What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user⁃friendly products? A.His love for greener devices. B.His pursuit of an academic career. C.His desire to make a difference. D.His hope to boost green industry. 4.Why does Jaggi plan to launch an online platform? A.To promote smart products. B.To empower young inventors. C.To provide eco⁃themed courses. D.To offer environmentalists funds. Passage 3 (2025·重庆高三联考)An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases.Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells.These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions.This discovery serves as a crucial stepping stone toward the researchers’ vision of employing biological robots as innovative tools for healing,and disease treatment. This breakthrough originates from earlier research conducted by Michael Levin,Professor of Biology at Tufts University School of Arts & Sciences,and Josh Bongard at the University of Vermont.They once created biological robots called Xenobots from frog cells,capable of various functions including self⁃copying,for a limited number of cycles.However,it was unclear if biological robots could be formed using cells from other species. In their latest study,Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered that Anthrobots can indeed be crafted from adult human cells,with capabilities outperforming those observed in Xenobots. Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish,facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage. “It is extremely interesting and completely unexpected that normal patients’ cells,without changing their DNA,can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage.We’re now looking at how the healing mechanism works,and asking what else these constructs can do,” says Levin. One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses.These Anthrobots naturally break down after a few weeks and can be easily absorbed into the body once their function is complete. Anthrobots can only survive under specific laboratory conditions,posing no risk of exposure or unintended spread outside the controlled environment.They do not reproduce,have no genetic changes,and therefore carry no risk of developing beyond safety measures. 1.What do Anthrobots do in healing patients? A.Replace human cells. B.Facilitate neuron growth. C.Create new human cells. D.Move across tissue surfaces. 2.What does the underlined word “crafted” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Made. B.Divided. C.Copied. D.Designed. 3.What is one of the main advantages of Anthrobots? A.They can be easily created from patients’ cells. B.They can be used in many controlled environments. C.They can avoid causing immune responses. D.They can have genetic changes when necessary. 4.Which magazine is the text most probably taken from? A.Advanced Science. B.Sportsnet Magazine. C.Art in America. D.National Geographic. Passage 4 (2025·武汉高三质量检测)Student loan debt has become a worldwide problem.In America, the country’s overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between$20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America. Several factors account for high student loan debt.One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs.The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country’s economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem. To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year.In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven. Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be.They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers’ lives.Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better⁃paying work. Yet the professors’ research doesn’t include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debts were totally forgiven.It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers.The professors warn of some other possible negative effects.If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (无所顾忌的) with his borrowing in the future. No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief, the neediest students should be helped first. 1.How does the author introduce the problem of student loan debt? A.By making a comparison. B.By making classifications. C.By presenting some statistics. D.By setting down general rules. 2.What can we learn about student loan debt relief? A.It will surely provide some benefits for borrowers. B.It has already been carried out in the United States. C.It aims to encourage more students to borrow money. D.It will prevent a person from landing a well⁃paying job. 3.What is the professors’ attitude to debt forgiveness? A.Uncaring. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Cautious. 4.What’s the main idea of the text? A.Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide. B.Growing global student loan debt fuels the search for solutions. C.Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble. D.People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.

Digital media, with its characteristics of rapid transmission and strong interactivity, has gradually become the main force of information dissemination. People can obtain a large amount of information through various digital platforms anytime and anywhere, which greatly facilitates communication and exchanges between people. However, while digital media brings convenience, it also brings problems such as information overload. Faced with a flood of information, people often find it difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which to some extent reduces the efficiency of information acquisition. Social media, as an important part of new media, plays an increasingly important role in shaping public opinion. It provides a platform for people to express their views and exchange ideas, promoting the formation of public opinion on various social issues. But at the same time, the spread of fake news on social media has also become a prominent problem. Some false information spreads rapidly through social networks, misleading the public and even triggering social panic, which poses a severe challenge to media credibility. The trend of media convergence is becoming increasingly obvious. Traditional media are actively integrating with digital technology to explore new modes of information dissemination. For example, many newspapers and TV stations have set up their own digital platforms to realize the integration of print media, broadcast media and digital media. This integration not only enriches the forms of media products but also improves the efficiency of information dissemination. However, in the process of media convergence, issues such as privacy have also attracted widespread attention. The collection and use of user data by media platforms have raised concerns about the protection of personal privacy. In the face of these challenges, improving media literacy has become an urgent task for the whole society. The public needs to learn to correctly identify information, rationally view the content spread by the media, and avoid being misled by false information. At the same time, media regulation is also crucial. Relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of the media industry, standardize the behavior of media practitioners, and promote the healthy development of the media. Journalists, editors, media producers and other media practitioners shoulder important responsibilities. They should adhere to the principles of objectivity and fairness, ensure the authenticity and accuracy of information, and play a positive role in promoting cultural exchange and social progress. In the wave of media change, we need to correctly understand the current situation and challenges of media development, take active measures to deal with them, and promote the media to play a better role in the new era. 【译文欣赏】 媒体发展现状与挑战：在变革浪潮中前行 在当今时代，媒体正经历着前所未有的变革。从传统的印刷媒体和广播媒体，到新媒体和社交媒体的兴起，媒体的形式与功能不断丰富和拓展，深刻地影响着社会与个人的方方面面。 数字媒体凭借其传播迅速、互动性强等特点，逐渐成为信息传播的主力军。人们可以通过各种数字平台随时随地获取大量信息，极大地方便了人与人之间的沟通与交流。然而，在数字媒体带来便利的同时，也引发了诸如信息过载等问题。面对海量的信息，人们常常难以辨别其真伪，这在一定程度上降低了信息获取的效率。 社交媒体作为新媒体的重要组成部分，在塑造公众舆论方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。它为人们提供了表达观点和交流想法的平台，推动了各种社会问题上公众舆论的形成。但与此同时，社交媒体上假新闻的传播也成为一个突出问题。一些虚假信息通过社交网络迅速扩散，误导公众，甚至引发社会恐慌，这对媒体的公信力构成了严峻挑战。 媒体融合的趋势日益明显。传统媒体积极与数字技术融合，探索新的信息传播模式。例如，许多报纸和电视台都建立了自己的数字平台，实现了印刷媒体、广播媒体和数字媒体的融合。这种融合不仅丰富了媒体产品的形式，还提高了信息传播的效率。然而，在媒体融合的过程中，隐私等问题也引起了广泛关注。媒体平台对用户数据的收集和使用引发了人们对个人隐私保护的担忧。 面对这些挑战，提高公众的媒介素养已成为全社会的紧迫任务。公众需要学会正确识别信息，理性看待媒体传播的内容，避免被虚假信息误导。同时，媒体监管也至关重要。相关部门应加强对媒体行业的监管，规范媒体从业者的行为，促进媒体的健康发展。 记者、编辑、媒体制作人等媒体从业者肩负着重要责任。他们应秉持客观、公正的原则，确保信息的真实性和准确性，在促进文化交流和社会进步方面发挥积极作用。 在媒体变革的浪潮中，我们需要正确认识媒体发展的现状与挑战，采取积极措施加以应对，推动媒体在新时代发挥更好的作用。 【词汇积累】 核心词汇： print media（印刷媒体） broadcast media（广播媒体） new media（新媒体） social media（社交媒体） digital media（数字媒体） information overload（信息过载） fake news（假新闻） media convergence（媒体融合） media literacy（媒介素养） media regulation（媒体监管）​ 高频短语： undergo unprecedented changes（经历前所未有的变化） play an increasingly important role in（在…… 中扮演日益重要的角色） pose a severe challenge to（对…… 构成严峻挑战） adhere to（坚持） promote the healthy development of（促进…… 的健康发展）​​ ​ 【知识拓展】 本文围绕媒体发展展开，涉及多个媒体领域的知识点。媒体融合并非简单的技术叠加，而是传统媒体与新兴媒体在内容、渠道、平台等方面的深度整合，像许多传统报社推出新闻 APP，就是融合的具体体现。媒介素养不仅包括辨别信息真伪的能力，还涵盖对媒体运作机制、信息传播规律的认知，提升公众媒介素养能有效减少假新闻的负面影响。在当今数字化时代，数据隐私保护成为媒体发展的重要议题，各国纷纷出台相关法规，如欧盟的《通用数据保护条例》（GDPR），规范媒体平台对用户数据的使用，这也与文中提到的隐私问题相呼应。 【词汇延伸】​ 同根词拓展： regulate（v. 监管）→ regulation（n. 监管）→ regulatory（adj. 监管的）； literate（adj. 有素养的）→ literacy（n. 素养）→ illiteracy（n. 文盲，无知）​ 近义词辨析：spread 与 disseminate 都有 “传播” 之意，spread 使用范围更广，可用于具体和抽象事物，如 spread news（传播新闻）、spread a disease（传播疾病）；disseminate 更正式，多用于抽象的信息、知识等，如 disseminate knowledge（传播知识）​ 词汇搭配： shape public opinion（塑造公众舆论） facilitate communication（促进交流） enrich forms（丰富形式） strengthen supervision（加强监管） ensure authenticity（确保真实性） 高考真题链接 (2023·新高考Ⅱ卷)Reading Art：Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book，represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history，in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’ representations of books and reading，we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books，” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school，with the books as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume，deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago，but they record moments we can all relate__to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智)，wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press，books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently，as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway，artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers，pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view，the printed book is certainly ancient，but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function，a book must be activated by a user：the cover opened，the pages parted，the contents reviewed，perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked，a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private，“off-line” activity. 【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了《阅读艺术：书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书的内容以及本文作者对纸质书的乐观看法。 28.Where is the text most probably taken from? A.An introduction to a book. B.An essay on the art of writing. C.A guidebook to a museum. D.A review of modern paintings. 29.What are the selected artworks about? A.Wealth and intellect. B.Home and school. C.Books and reading. D.Work and leisure. 30.What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Understand. B.Paint. C.Seize. D.Transform. 31.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A.The printed book is not totally out of date. B.Technology has changed the way we read. C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D.People now rarely have the patience to read. 1. 答案：A 解析：文章开篇介绍了《Reading Art：Art for Book Lovers》这本书，提及它收录了世界各地博物馆的近 300 件艺术品，围绕 “书” 这一主题展开，后文还详细描述了书中艺术品的内容、排列方式以及书籍在艺术中的象征意义等。这些内容均符合对一本书的介绍特征，而非关于写作艺术的散文、博物馆指南或现代绘画评论，因此该文本最可能来自一本书的引言。 2. 答案：C 解析：文中明确提到 “In this ‘book of books，’ artworks are selected and arranged... We see scenes of children learning to read... Adults are portrayed... absorbed in a volume...”，且多次围绕书籍和阅读展开，如书籍在不同场景中的呈现、人们阅读的画面等，可知所选艺术品均与书籍和阅读相关。 3. 答案：A 解析：前文提到这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的，但它们记录的瞬间是我们都能 “relate to” 的。结合语境，数百年前的阅读场景虽时间久远，但人们对阅读的体验是共通的，所以此处 “relate to” 应表示 “理解、产生共鸣”，与 “Understand” 意思相近。 4. 答案：A 解析：作者提到 “Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.”，随后指出从 21 世纪的视角看，纸质书虽然古老，但和电子阅读器一样具有互动性，还能提供私密的 “离线” 体验。由此可知，作者提及电子阅读器是为了说明纸质书并未完全过时。 From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient，but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. 抓标志：连接词 but 判类型：由转折连词 but 连接的并列句 试翻译：从 21 世纪的视角来看，纸质书固然古老，但它仍然和任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性。 And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked，a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private，“off-line” activity. 抓标志：连接词 where、and 判类型：包含定语从句的复合句，where 引导定语从句修饰 lives，其中还包含省略关系代词的定语从句 “we consume” 修饰 information 试翻译：而且，与我们日益网络化的生活 —— 在这种生活中，我们所获取的信息会被监控和追踪 —— 不同，纸质书仍然能提供一种完全私密的 “离线” 活动机会。 词汇搭配拓展 · From a 21st-century point of view 可与不同时间、视角搭配，如 “From a historical point of view（从历史的视角来看）”“From a personal point of view（从个人的角度来看）”。 · remain 常见搭配：remain silent（保持沉默）、remain unchanged（保持不变）、remain a mystery（仍是个谜）。 · consume 除 “获取，消费” 外，还可搭配 “time（时间）”“energy（精力）”，如 “consume much time（耗费大量时间）”。 · monitor 常见搭配：monitor the situation（监控局势）、monitor students’ progress（监督学生的进步）。 反义词 / 对应词补充 · ancient 的反义词：modern（现代的）、contemporary（当代的）。 · private 的对应词：public（公共的），如 “private space（私人空间）” 与 “public space（公共空间）”。 · off-line 的对应词：on-line（在线的），如 “off-line shopping（线下购物）” 与 “on-line shopping（线上购物）”。 语境运用示例 · 使用 “in contrast to” 造句：In contrast to his brother who is outgoing, he is quite shy.（与他外向的哥哥不同，他相当害羞。） · 使用 “increasingly” 造句：With the development of technology, people are increasingly dependent on smart phones.（随着科技的发展，人们越来越依赖智能手机。） · 使用 “wholly” 造句：The plan is wholly impractical.（这个计划完全不切实际。） 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 356 探讨社交媒体对旅游的影响。指出社交媒体改变了年轻人获取旅游灵感的方式，旅游公司也将其作为营销手段，但同时也存在分散旅游体验、使旅游动机变得自我中心等弊端，最后作者客观评价社交媒体对旅游的变革作用。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 332 讲述 Param Jaggi 从小对拆解和制作东西有热情，长大后致力于用技术解决能源和环境问题，17 岁与人共同创立 Ecoviate 公司，研发环保产品，还计划推出在线平台鼓励年轻学生参与创新发明的故事，展现了他对环保事业的执着与贡献。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 341 介绍由人类细胞制成的微型生物机器人 “Anthrobots”，它能刺激受损区域的神经元生长，具有显著的治愈效果。文章还提及该突破的研究背景、Anthrobots 的优势及安全性等，体现了其在疾病治疗方面的潜力。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 324 阐述全球学生贷款债务问题，列举美国、日本等国家的相关数据，分析产生高债务的原因，介绍不同国家的解决措施，以及大学教授对债务免除影响的研究和观点，最后指出若实施债务减免应优先帮助最需要的学生。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 283 讨论好消息的价值。指出阅读好消息更令人愉悦，虽坏消息有其存在意义，但好消息能带来诸多益处，如减少压力、激发创造更好世界的灵感等，还介绍了专注于提供好消息的 “Good Good Good”，并引用编辑的话强调好消息的重要性。 Passage6 七选五 说明文 265 介绍超级沟通者的四个习惯，包括明确对话类型并相应回应、证明自己在倾听、提出大量恰当的问题、以理解为目标进行交流，这些习惯有助于建立与他人的真正联系。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 281 讲述 Joy 作为自然主义者助理，在 Audubon 中心工作，致力于让城市年轻人接触自然、了解自然的故事。通过一个调皮男孩在体验后的转变，体现了这种经历对孩子们的积极影响，也提及 Joy 自身的成长经历及她对这份工作的感悟。 Passage 1 (2025·岳阳高三质量监测)With the development of apps,social media has seemingly revolutionized the way we travel.Now,young people’s primary travel inspiration comes from social media.Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel agent like before,they scroll (滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal location. When it comes to planning the perfect holiday,social media has become a huge factor for many young people today.Everybody wants to return home with an album full of artistic and eye⁃catching photos that show off their trips.The best way to find that desired“post⁃able” holiday destination is now through social media itself.Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post,or a photo directly from a travel account,social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of its users. Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing strategies.The majority of airlines,tour companies,hotels and other travel⁃related businesses have their own Weibo,Xiaohongshu and Douyin pages to increase brand awareness.One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social influences.Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional celebrities—in 2018,1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on an app alone;and 63% of its 18—24⁃year⁃old users follow travel influenced account. However,as with many aspects of social media,there were obvious disadvantages to this travel revolution.It could be argued that the obsession with documenting and sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present and truly enjoying the experience.Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away from a strong desire to travel and have become more egocentric (自我为中心的),travelling now for the sake of likes and follows.This draws away from some of the most important elements of travel. In general,social media has revolutionized the way we travel,providing tonnes of inspiration and new opportunities.We should be grateful for the global awareness it has given us,and the insight into new places and different means of travel.At the same time,it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self⁃image or reflect on our own experiences any differently. 1.How did people get their primary travel inspiration in the past? A.By appreciating photos from a travel account. B.By viewing friends’ recent travel post. C.By consulting a travel agent. D.By scrolling through online posts. 2.Which of the following is right according to the text? A.Using Internet celebrities is a very effective marketing strategy. B.Most teenagers trust traditional celebrities more than social influences. C.The obsession with sharing travel experiences helps to enhance the travel experience. D.The travel inspiration of young people mainly comes from the tourism advertisements. 3.What is the author’s attitude to the travel revolution? A.Skeptical. B.Objective. C.Worried. D.Disapproving. 4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Ways to enhance the travel experiences. B.Elements of modern travel. C.Inspiration and opportunities from social media. D.The impact of social media on travel. 1. 答案：C 解析：根据原文第一段第二句“Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel agent like before”可知，过去人们主要通过旅行社的目录获取旅行灵感，对应选项C“By consulting a travel agent”。 2. 答案：A 解析： 选项A：原文第三段提到“One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social influences”，且数据显示青少年更信任网红，说明利用网红是有效的营销策略，A正确。 3. 答案：B 解析：作者在文中既肯定了社交媒体对旅行的积极影响（提供灵感和机会），也指出了其弊端（分散注意力、动机变得自我中心），态度客观中立，对应选项B“Objective”。 4. 答案：D 解析：全文围绕社交媒体如何改变旅行方式展开，既讨论了其带来的变革（灵感来源、营销方式），也分析了优缺点，核心是社交媒体对旅行的影响，故选项D“The impact of social media on travel”最适合作为标题。 Passage 2 (2025·济南高三模拟)When Param Jaggi was five years old,he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside.He started with toys and even broke a computer,which made his parents not too pleased.As he got older,he shifted from breaking things to building things,which greatly comforted his parents.In middle school,he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory,and his first project was making biofuels. Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy,he remained determined to make a difference to the environment.Eventually,his parents came around and started supporting his dreams.Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up,but he focused more on solving real problems,especially those related to the environment.  At 17,Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co⁃founded Ecoviate,a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems.He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive,by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use.Through Ecoviate,he designed products that could contribute to a greener future.One of his notable inventions was the “CO2ube”,a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce carbon emissions,and it’s available to many people at low prices.He also created a smartwatch that changed body heat into energy,which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones. Young Jaggi,now a third⁃grade college student studying engineering and economics,has become a famous eco⁃innovator and his company is developing promisingly.However,Jaggi’s vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products.He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate,which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention.Students can submit a science project online,and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality. 1.What can we learn about Jaggi? A.He was curious by nature. B.He dreamed of being an engineer. C.He always annoyed his parents. D.He was addicted to playing with toys. 2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in Paragraph 2? A.Won out. B.Changed their minds. C.Walked around. D.Paid a visit. 3.What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user⁃friendly products? A.His love for greener devices. B.His pursuit of an academic career. C.His desire to make a difference. D.His hope to boost green industry. 4.Why does Jaggi plan to launch an online platform? A.To promote smart products. B.To empower young inventors. C.To provide eco⁃themed courses. D.To offer environmentalists funds. 1. 答案：A 解析：根据第一段第一句“When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside.”可知，Jaggi从小就喜欢拆解物品探究内部构造，这体现了他天生好奇的特质，对应选项A。其他选项：B文中未明确提及他梦想成为工程师；C“always annoyed”与原文中父母后来支持他矛盾；D“addicted to playing with toys”错误，他是拆解玩具而非沉迷玩耍。 2. 答案：B 解析：第二段提到“Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy”（父母最初认为他的实验只是孩童幻想），随后“started supporting his dreams”（开始支持他的梦想），说明父母的态度发生了转变。“came around”在此处意为“改变想法”，与选项B“Changed their minds”一致。 3. 答案：C 解析：第三段指出“He planned to transform people’s idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy to use.”，而这一计划的根源是第二段提到的“he remained determined to make a difference to the environment”（他决心为环境带来改变）。因此，推动他开发平价易用产品的是“想要做出改变的愿望”，对应选项C。 4. 答案：B 解析：最后一段提到“He plans to launch an online platform... encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk about the help that they need”，可见该平台旨在鼓励年轻学生参与创新发明并提供支持，即“赋能年轻发明者”，对应选项B。 Passage 3 (2025·重庆高三联考)An innovative creation will help transform treating diseases.Scientists at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute developed tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells.These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing (治愈) effect by stimulating neuron (神经元) growth in damaged lab dish regions.This discovery serves as a crucial stepping stone toward the researchers’ vision of employing biological robots as innovative tools for healing,and disease treatment. This breakthrough originates from earlier research conducted by Michael Levin,Professor of Biology at Tufts University School of Arts & Sciences,and Josh Bongard at the University of Vermont.They once created biological robots called Xenobots from frog cells,capable of various functions including self⁃copying,for a limited number of cycles.However,it was unclear if biological robots could be formed using cells from other species. In their latest study,Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered that Anthrobots can indeed be crafted from adult human cells,with capabilities outperforming those observed in Xenobots. Anthrobots showed the ability to move across a surface covered in human neurons grown in a lab dish,facilitating new growth to fill gaps caused by cell layer damage. “It is extremely interesting and completely unexpected that normal patients’ cells,without changing their DNA,can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage.We’re now looking at how the healing mechanism works,and asking what else these constructs can do,” says Levin. One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune (免疫的) responses.These Anthrobots naturally break down after a few weeks and can be easily absorbed into the body once their function is complete. Anthrobots can only survive under specific laboratory conditions,posing no risk of exposure or unintended spread outside the controlled environment.They do not reproduce,have no genetic changes,and therefore carry no risk of developing beyond safety measures. 1.What do Anthrobots do in healing patients? A.Replace human cells. B.Facilitate neuron growth. C.Create new human cells. D.Move across tissue surfaces. 2.What does the underlined word “crafted” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Made. B.Divided. C.Copied. D.Designed. 3.What is one of the main advantages of Anthrobots? A.They can be easily created from patients’ cells. B.They can be used in many controlled environments. C.They can avoid causing immune responses. D.They can have genetic changes when necessary. 4.Which magazine is the text most probably taken from? A.Advanced Science. B.Sportsnet Magazine. C.Art in America. D.National Geographic. 1. 答案：B 解析：根据文章第一段第二句“These Anthrobots possess the astonishing ability to move across surfaces and have exhibited a remarkable healing effect by stimulating neuron growth in damaged lab dish regions.”可知，Anthrobots通过刺激受损区域的神经元生长发挥治愈作用，核心功能是“促进神经元生长”。A选项“替换人类细胞”、C选项“创造新人类细胞”文中未提及；D选项“在组织表面移动”是其能力之一，但并非治愈过程中的核心作用，故B为正确答案。 2. 答案：A 解析：根据上下文，第三段提到“Levin and Tufts PhD student Gizem Gumuskaya discovered that Anthrobots can indeed be crafted from adult human cells”，结合前文提到的Xenobots是“created from frog cells”（由青蛙细胞创造），可推断“crafted”与“created”意思相近，意为“制作、创造”。B选项“分割”、C选项“复制”、D选项“设计”均不符合语境，故A为正确答案。 3. 答案：C 解析：文章第六段第一句明确指出“One of the main advantages of using human cells lies in constructing biological robots from a patient’s cells to perform healing tasks without leading to immune responses.”，即Anthrobots的主要优势之一是使用患者自身细胞制作，不会引发免疫反应。A选项“容易从患者细胞中创造”并非核心优势；B选项“可用于多种受控环境”文中未强调；D选项“必要时可发生基因变化”与原文第七段“have no genetic changes”矛盾，故C为正确答案。 4. 答案：A 解析：本文主要介绍了科学家利用人类细胞研发的生物机器人Anthrobots及其在医疗领域的应用，属于前沿科学研究范畴。A选项“Advanced Science（尖端科学）”符合主题；B选项“Sportsnet Magazine（体育杂志）”、C选项“Art in America（美国艺术）”、D选项“National Geographic（国家地理）”均与文章内容无关，故A为正确答案。 Passage 4 (2025·武汉高三质量检测)Student loan debt has become a worldwide problem.In America, the country’s overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between$20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America. Several factors account for high student loan debt.One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs.The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country’s economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem. To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year.In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven. Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be.They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers’ lives.Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better⁃paying work. Yet the professors’ research doesn’t include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debts were totally forgiven.It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers.The professors warn of some other possible negative effects.If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (无所顾忌的) with his borrowing in the future. No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief, the neediest students should be helped first. 1.How does the author introduce the problem of student loan debt? A.By making a comparison. B.By making classifications. C.By presenting some statistics. D.By setting down general rules. 2.What can we learn about student loan debt relief?

C.Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble. D.People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness. 1. 答案：C 解析：文章第一段通过列举具体数据引入学生贷款债务问题，如“美国2019年学生债务总额达1.6万亿美元”“平均每人负债2万至2.5万美元”“日本政府每年向学生贷款超90亿美元”等。这些数据直观呈现了问题的严重性，因此作者采用的是“呈现统计数据”的方式，对应选项C。A（对比）、B（分类）、D（制定通用规则）均未体现。 2. 答案：A 解析：选项A：根据第四段研究结果“sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers’ lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better-paying work”，可知债务减免确实能为借款人带来好处，A正确。 3. 答案：D 解析：教授们的研究既指出债务减免对借款人的积极影响（改善生活、寻找更好工作），也警告了潜在负面影响（可能导致未来借贷更鲁莽、未考虑对金融机构和整体经济的影响），并建议优先帮助最需要的学生。这种既肯定又警惕的态度体现了“谨慎”，对应选项D。A（漠不关心）、B（积极）、C（反对）均不符合。 4. 答案：B 解析：文章首先阐述全球学生贷款债务问题的普遍性（美国、日本、非洲、南美），接着分析成因，然后介绍各国的解决方案（如澳大利亚的还款机制、美国的减免提议），最后讨论债务减免的影响及教授们的观点。核心是“全球学生贷款债务增长推动了对解决方案的探索”，对应选项B。A（最严重问题）过于绝对；C（帮助穷人摆脱困境）仅为部分内容；D（对债务减免的不同观点）是细节，非主旨。 Passage5 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。 (2025·杭州高三质量检测) It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.Like,would you rather bite into a lemon,or sip at a fresh glass of lemonade? __1_ The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert (警觉的) to what’s going on around us.While reading traditional,more negative news is important,consuming good news is also part of staying informed.___2___And it also brings meaningful benefits,like reduced stress and anxiety,higher rates of engagement,community building skills,and inspiration for creating a better world.Plus,knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.  In fact,good news,known as solutions journalism,is becoming more popular,as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories.Good Good Good is one of them.___3___ A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.  “If it bleeds,it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence,death and destruction draw readers’ attention.__4___ The thing is,however,there’s also good stuff out there—the delightful and kind parts of humanity.“Beautiful stories are happening worldwide.___5__ When you do find them,the world can suddenly feel like a very different place.Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world’s problems,”Hervey,one of Good Good Good’s editors said.  A.Share good news with people around you. B.It’s just that we don’t hear as much about them. C.But the “bad news” has its place in the world. D.It provides a more balanced view of the world. E.And so,negative news stories are everywhere on news media. F.Heartwarming stories make you cry and feel good. G.The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally. 1. 答案：C 解析：前文将阅读好消息与坏消息比作“咬柠檬”和“喝柠檬水”，突出好消息更令人愉悦。空后则强调世界充满问题，人们需要了解负面消息以保持警觉，前后形成转折。C选项“But the ‘bad news’ has its place in the world”（但“坏消息”在世界上有其存在的意义）承接上文对好消息的肯定，同时引出下文对坏消息必要性的说明，逻辑连贯。 2. 答案：D 解析：空前提到阅读好消息也是“保持知情”的一部分，空后列举了好消息带来的好处（减轻压力、增强参与度等）。D选项“It provides a more balanced view of the world”（它提供了对世界更平衡的看法）既解释了好消息作为“知情一部分”的作用，又为后文的好处做了铺垫——平衡的视角自然会带来积极影响，符合语境。 3. 答案：G 解析：空前提到“solutions journalism（解决方案新闻）越来越受欢迎”，并举例“Good Good Good is one of them”。空后则描述该机构的团队每天致力于传递让人充满希望的故事。G选项“The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally”（这家新闻媒体公司致力于有意识地提供好消息）衔接上下文，明确“Good Good Good”的性质和宗旨，使举例更完整。 4. 答案：E 解析：空前引用媒体行业的说法“If it bleeds, it leads”（越血腥，越头条），说明负面新闻更吸引眼球。E选项“And so, negative news stories are everywhere on news media”（因此，负面新闻在新闻媒体上随处可见）是前文说法的自然结果，解释了负面新闻泛滥的原因，逻辑顺承。 5. 答案：B 解析：空前指出“美好的故事在世界各地发生”，空后提到“当你找到它们时，世界会突然变得不同”。B选项“It’s just that we don’t hear as much about them”（只是我们没有听到那么多关于它们的消息）解释了为什么人们不易察觉这些美好故事，同时与空后“找到它们”形成呼应，说明美好故事存在但未被广泛传播，符合语境。 Passage6 (2025·石家庄高三质量检测) Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create real connections with others just by listening and talking.The following are four habits of super communicators. They know what kind of conversation they’re having.Super communicators are usually able to respond accordingly.If you’re having a practical conversation,your friend might ask you to help make hard decisions.__1__If your friend is just expressing her or his feelings,you just need to be a good listener.  They prove they’re listening.There are plenty of ways to appear like you’re listening,like making eye contact or nodding.To do that,experts suggest a technique called “cycles for understanding”.Ask a question and listen to the response.Repeat what they just told you.Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct.___2___ They ask a lot of the right questions.Research shows that highly effective communicators tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else.They may simply be follow⁃up questions like“What happened next?” Super communicators also ask questions that get people to open up.___3___ They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connections.  ___4___ The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone,convince someone or wait for their turn to speak.It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their own views accordingly.The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both parties can benefit from.___5___ A.They aim to understand. B.Experts call them “deep questions”. C.They are persuasive communicators. D.The decisions should be easy to carry out. E.This practice sounds simple but is powerful. F.Then you should be ready to give good advice. G.And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen. 1. 答案：F 解析：前文提到“如果是实用性对话，朋友可能会请你帮忙做艰难的决定”，空处应承接这一情境，说明此时应采取的行动。F选项“Then you should be ready to give good advice”（那么你应该准备好给出好的建议）与“帮忙做决定”呼应，符合实用性对话中需要提供建议的逻辑，衔接自然。 2. 答案：E 解析：前文介绍了“理解循环”技巧——提问、倾听、重复对方的话、确认是否理解正确。空处应对这一技巧进行评价。E选项“This practice sounds simple but is powerful”（这种做法听起来简单但很有效）总结了该技巧的特点，既呼应了前文描述的简单步骤，又强调了其作用，符合语境。 3. 答案：B 解析：前文提到超级沟通者会提出“能让人们敞开心扉的问题”，空后进一步说明这些问题“关乎人们的价值观或经历，创造情感连接的机会”。B选项“Experts call them ‘deep questions’”（专家称它们为‘深度问题’）是对这类问题的定义，既承接了“让人们敞开心扉的问题”，又为后文的具体描述提供了名称，逻辑连贯。 4. 答案：A 解析：空处为该段主题句。后文提到“对话的目标不是给人留下印象、说服别人或等待发言机会，而是真正理解他人的观点并相应地分享自己的看法”，核心是“理解”。A选项“They aim to understand”（他们旨在理解）概括了该段主旨，符合主题句的要求。 5. 答案：G 解析：前文指出“恰当的回应能创造信任和开放的氛围，让双方都受益”，空处应总结这种氛围的意义。G选项“And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen”（而这实际上是可能发生的最奇妙的事情）对前文描述的积极结果进行升华，强调其价值，作为结尾句恰当。 Passage7 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。 (2025·佛山高三模拟)Joy is a naturalist’s assistant at the Audubon Center,a non⁃profit organization

used to be 3 even by bees will no longer be afraid of insect bites,and will 4 handle mud,and whatever little moving 5 they can catch.” Joy values most the 6 that show how much this opportunity means to the students.She 7 one particularly long day.One boy had been misbehaving a lot,frightening away the wildlife.At the end of the tour, 8 he ran to her. “Miss,” he said,“it was 9 to pet the fur of those dead animals.” It wasn’t how Joy would normally refer to the specimens (标本) of animal fur,but she knew what the boy meant.He looked over the river banks, 10 for a moment as if he was weighing something in his mind. “This place is really amazing,” he 11 said.“This has been the best field trip we’ve ever been on,ever.” Joy grew up in a little village in England.She fondly remembers 12 nature walks with Girl Scout volunteers.They helped her 13 her lifelong passion for nature,which she wants to share with children today.Like all volunteers,Joy has a 14 for looking at the world through the

解析：前文提到“Joy is a naturalist’s assistant at the Audubon Center”，说明她的身份是助理，空后描述的“给城市青年观察野生动物的机会”是她工作的一部分。因此，“job”（工作）符合语境，其他选项“life”（生活）、“dream”（梦想）、“challenge”（挑战）均不符合上下文逻辑。 2. 答案：A 解析：根据语境，Joy的工作是让城市青年接触自然，其目的应是让他们更“欣赏”自然。“appreciation”（欣赏、理解）与“gain a greater... of nature”搭配，符合句意；“taste”（品味）、“wealth”（财富）、“control”（控制）均不符合语境。 3. 答案：B 解析：后文提到“will no longer be afraid of insect bites”，说明学生之前对昆虫是“害怕的”。“scared”（害怕的）与“no longer be afraid”形成对比，符合逻辑；“amazed”（惊讶的）、“attracted”（吸引的）、“bored”（无聊的）均不符合语境。 4. 答案：C 解析：前文说学生不再害怕昆虫叮咬，由此可推断他们会“开心地”接触泥土等自然元素。“happily”（开心地）体现了学生态度的转变，与前文的“no longer be afraid”呼应；“carelessly”（粗心地）、“unwillingly”（不情愿地）、“seriously”（严肃地）均不符合语境。 5. 答案：A 解析：空前提到“little moving”（小的、会动的），结合上下文“wildlife”“insects”等词，此处应指“生物”。“creatures”（生物）符合语境；“images”（图像）、“spirits”（精神）、“shadows”（影子）均不符合“会动的自然元素”这一描述。 6. 答案：B 解析：后文讲述了一个男孩从调皮到认可自然之旅的故事，这是一个具体的“时刻”，体现了机会对学生的意义。“moments”（时刻）符合语境；“stories”（故事）虽有一定干扰，但后文强调的是某个具体场景，而非完整故事；“honors”（荣誉）、“rewards”（奖励）均不符合。 7. 答案：C 解析：后文是Joy对“one particularly long day”的具体描述，属于回忆。“recalls”（回忆）符合语境；“ruins”（摧毁）、“names”（命名）、“imagines”（想象）均不符合“讲述过去经历”的逻辑。 8. 答案：D 解析：前文提到男孩“had been misbehaving a lot”，而结尾他突然跑向Joy表达感受，前后形成转折，体现了突发性。“suddenly”（突然地）符合语境；“casually”（随意地）、“sadly”（悲伤地）、“gratefully”（感激地）均不符合情节的转折。 9. 答案：B 解析：男孩最后评价这次旅行是“最好的”，说明他对触摸动物皮毛标本的体验是积极的。“great”（极好的）符合语境；“harmful”（有害的）、“terrible”（糟糕的）与后文态度矛盾；“lucky”（幸运的）侧重“运气”，不如“great”贴合对体验的直接评价。 10. 答案：B 解析：空后提到“as if he was weighing something in his mind”（仿佛在思考），说明他当时是“安静的”。“quiet”（安静的）符合“思考时的状态”；“glad”（开心的）、“angry”（生气的）、“eager”（渴望的）均不符合“权衡事情”的情境。 11. 答案：A 解析：男孩先表达了对触摸标本的感受，停顿思考后，“最终”说出对这个地方的评价。“finally”（最终）体现了语气的递进和思考后的结论；“honestly”（诚实地）、“openly”（公开地）、“smoothly”（流畅地）均不符合语境的层次感。 12. 答案：D 解析：“take nature walks”（进行自然徒步）是固定搭配，符合Joy回忆与女童子军一起体验自然的语境；“living through”（经历）、“talking about”（谈论）、“arranging”（安排）均不如“taking”贴合“徒步”这一动作。 13. 答案：D 解析：女童子军的帮助应是让她“发现”了对自然的终身热爱。“discover”（发现）符合“从接触到产生热爱”的过程；“discuss”（讨论）、“spare”（节省）、“understand”（理解）均不符合“培养热情”的语境。 14. 答案：B 解析：根据语境，志愿者Joy能从学生的角度看世界，这是一种“天赋”。“gift”（天赋）符合对志愿者能力的描述；“hope”（希望）、“reason”（原因）、“need”（需要）均不符合“从他人角度看问题”这一能力的性质。 15. 答案：C 解析：Joy认为即使只有少数孩子会回来，这些经历也会“持续”一生。“last”（持续）符合“经历对人生的长远影响”；“spoil”（破坏）、“adjust”（调整）、“save”（拯救）均不符合“经历的持久意义”这一语境。 8 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
