While older generations often own property, millions of young adults face increasing rents and unachievable homeownership. A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes. This crisis originates from decades of policy failure. Since the mid-1990s, house prices have skyrocketed dramatically, widening the gap between property owners and others. Government projects like “Help-to-Buy” intended to assist first-time buyers instead inflated prices further, making housing less accessible. University graduates carry heavy debts from tuition fees exceeding £9, 000 annually since 2010, weakening their savings potential. The rental market offers little relief. Private renters have jumped from 2. 8 million to 4. 5 million households since 2007, with those aged 25-34 consisting of over a third. Yet renters face instability and exploitation. “No-fault drivings” allow landlords (房东) to end rentings without cause, while rents exceed wage growth. Even social housing renters experience widening inequality compared to homeowners. Policy responses are emerging but controversial. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control commission to regulate the private sector. Scotland has established “rent pressure zones” to stop increases. The Labour Party advocates abolishing no-fault drivings, arguing that secure right of habitation are essential for dignity. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness.

Recent US bill requires TikTok to be sold within a year, or face a ban On April 24, US President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to either be sold to a non-Chinese entity or face a ban from US-based app stores within nine months to a year. “Make no mistake, this is a ban,” said TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew. “A ban on TikTok and a ban on you and your voice.” The bill, developed due to concerns that the social media platform might be sharing user data with the Chinese government to potentially influence user attitudes, successfully passed the House of Representatives in early March and was approved by the Senate on April 23. “The fact is, we have invested billions of dollars to keep US data safe and our platform free from outside influence and manipulation (操纵),” noted TikTok in a statement issued soon after the signing. “This ban would devastate (摧毁) 7 million businesses and silence 170 million Americans.” This is true. TikTok is popular not only for its entertainment and useful information but also as a source of income for many users. “TikTok is a very useful platform because it’s fast,” said Lucia Perez, 20, in an interview with China Daily. When not busy, Perez spends three to four hours on TikTok each day. “People would lose jobs, that would be terrible... A lot of people live off it. I mean, hopefully the ban doesn’t happen,” she added. Some people are also concerned that banning the app may generate hate toward Chinese people. “There was a lot of racial (种族的) tension,” said Wyatt Head, a 29-year-old interviewed by China Daily. “The CEO was questioned in Congress; they were like, ‘Is he Chinese’?” Tesla CEO Elon Musk is also against the measure to ban the app in the US. “In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the US. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for,” he wrote on his X account. TikTok plans to challenge the legislation, arguing that it violates users’ First Amendment rights (《宪法第一修正案》规定的权利). “The facts and the US Constitution are on our side, and we expect to prevail (获胜) again,” said Chew. “It’s obviously a disappointing moment, but it does not need to be a defining one.” 5．What is the bill involving TikTok mainly about? A．Restricting TikTok’s data-sharing practices. B．Forcing TikTok’s separation from its parent company. C．Banning TikTok from the US within nine months. D．Regulating TikTok’s content moderation policies. 6．According to the text, the ban on TikTok would probably cause ________ in the US. A．an economic crisis B．political instability C．severe job losses D．a cultural decline 7．Why does Elon Musk object to the possible ban on TikTok? A．It threatens innovation and creativity. B．It may intensify racial tensions in the US. C．It could delay technological advancement. D．It is against US values and principles. 8．What is Shou Zi Chew’s attitude toward the future of TikTok? A．Concerned. B．Skeptical. C．Optimistic. D．Uncertain. 七、七选五 Australia’s New Social Media Law: Protecting the Youth In a decisive step towards safeguarding its youth, Australia has adopted a landmark law that prohibits individuals under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms. This law, which sailed through Parliament with support, represents one of the most strict measures aimed at protecting children from the many dangers hiding in the digital world. 1 Passed by the Senate on November 28, 2024, after just a week of discussion, the law assigns that social media companies — ranging from TikTok to Instagram — use “reasonable measures” to prevent minors (未成年人) from creating accounts. 2 Such financial punishment stress the seriousness with which the Australian government views this issue. The force for this law comes from growing concerns about the negative impacts of social media on mental health. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been vocal about the need to shield children from online bullying, peer pressure, and harmful actions. 3 A recent vote reveals that this protective measure resonates (共鸣) with the Australian public; a striking 77% support the ban. 4 However, while the law sets forth a clear age limit, questions emerge regarding its carrying out. The government has decided not to require users to provide government-issued identification for age confirmation, a decision aimed at addressing privacy concerns but one that raises doubts about how effectively these measures can be fulfilled. 5 A．Failure to obey could result in heavy fines, reaching up to 50 million Australian dollars. B．Critics warn that without strong confirmation processes, minors may still find ways to get around restrictions. C．This widespread approval reflects a societal agreements on focusing on child safety in an increasingly interconnected world. D．The government’s attitude is clear: adolescents aged 16 and older are thought more capable of navigating these digital challenges. E．Social media platforms have expressed concerns about the practicability of fulfilling such strict measures. F．Many parents have welcomed the law, citing its potential to reduce screen time and improve family relationship. G．The law also includes provisions for educating parents about the risks of social media and how to monitor their children’s online activities. 八、完形填空 Out-of-towners have long flocked to St Ives. Artists such as J. M W. Turner and Barbara Hepworth were 1 to the town’s clear light. Others come for the seafood and sandy beaches. Even the town’s notoriously aggressive seagulls, who dive-bomb unsuspecting tourists and steal their Cornish pasties, are not enough to 2 outsiders. But St Ives’s popularity has a downside: visitors 3 the local housing market. Locals worry that the town is becoming a playground for rich Londoners, who in the summer months arrive on the sleeper train from Paddington. At the last count, a quarter of the dwellings in St Ives were second homes or 4 . So in May 2016 locals decided to do something about it, voting in a referendum (公投) to introduce a “principal-residence policy”, which stops newly built houses in the town being used as second homes. The thinking went that by stopping holidaymakers from snapping up new-builds, housing would become more 5 to people who live in St Ives all year round. Building firms and DIY shops, for whom second-homers are prized customers, 6 the plan. One property firm even challenged the policy in the High Court. But the legal challenge failed and the second-home ban 7 . Since then a few other Cornish towns have introduced their own versions of the policy. Those involved in designing the plan say that, three years on, it is too early to 8 its impact. But official statistics suggest that excluding second-home buyers from the new-build market has removed a big source of 9 . The price of new homes in the town is 13% below what it might have been if the previous growth rate had continued. Locals 10 to afford a property may like the sound of this. But it has had an unwelcome side-effect: house building has 11 . Developers who bought land when it was pricier can in some cases no longer sell homes at a profit. Others may be holding off from breaking ground in the hope that the policy is 12 . In 2015 Acorn Property Group, a local firm, was about to buy a site for 34 homes,14 of them “affordable” (i.e., sold or let at below-market rates). But the policy made the scheme 13 because the open-market dwellings could no longer subsidize (资助) the affordable ones, the company says. Meanwhile, second-home buyers in St Ives seem to be shifting their attention to 14 buildings, which are not covered by the policy. Data from Hamptons International, a property firm suggest that in St Ives second-homers form a larger share of transactions than before the policy came into force. 15 new-builds, prices have continued to climb. That represents a windfall (意外之财) to locals who already own their homes —and may eventually persuade even more of them to cash in and move out. 1．A．sent B．drawn C．attached D．committed 2．A．take in B．put off C．fight far D．put down 3．A．expand B．lose C．create D．dominate 4．A．holiday lets B．industrial lands C．hi-tech zones D．waste areas 5．A．comfortable B．convenient C．affordable D．important 6．A．advocated B．revised C．presented D．opposed 7．A．fell through B．lagged behind C．went ahead D．came over 8．A．assess B．maximize C．resist D．appreciate 9．A．authority B．income C．conflict D．demand 10．A．refusing B．struggling C．managing D．claiming 11．A．suffered B．changed C．boomed D．disappeared 12．A．passed B．complimented C．justified D．abandoned 13．A．infeasible B．urgent C．distinctive D．unpopular 14．A．newly-built B．rural C．urban D．existing 15．A．Rather than B．Thanks to C．Except for D．Regardless of 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Period 3 Developing ideas&Presenting ideas分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 一、将下列短语翻译为英文。 1．装配；配备_________ 9．污染____________ 2．巡回演出__________ 10．允许，准许____________ 3．救济；减轻__________ 11.预料，预期____________ 4．创造(性)的__________ 12.捐赠，捐献____________ 5．逗乐，(使)娱乐_________ 13.离弃，逃离___________ 6．作曲家_____________ 14.受欢迎的，流行的___________ 7．戏剧_______________ 15.清晰的，明显的____________ 8．想象；想象力___________ 16. 机会；通道________________ 【答案】 1. equip 2. tour 3. relief 4.creative 5.amuse 6.composer 7. drama 8. imagine 9. pollute 10. permit 11. expect 12. donate 13. abandon 14.popular 15. distinct 16.access 二、根据句意及汉语提示写出单词。 1．My colleague r (减轻) me of my duties when I go on vacation. 2．The group came together to celebrate what they called a m (奇迹) after the missing hikers were found safe in the mountains. 3．Agriculture is of v importance to the nation’s economy and the people’s livelihood.

(这项在议会支持下顺利通过的法律，是旨在保护儿童免受数字世界诸多隐患威胁的最严格措施之一。)”指出这项法律是旨在保护儿童免受数字世界诸多隐患威胁的最严格措施之一。选项G“The law also includes provisions for educating parents about the risks of social media and how to monitor their children’s online activities. (该法律还包含教育家长了解社交媒体风险及如何监控孩子在线活动的条款。)”延续上文内容，是对该法律内容的补充说明，符合语境。故选G。 2．上文“Passed by the Senate on November 28, 2024, after just a week of discussion, the law assigns that social media companies — ranging from TikTok to Instagram — use “reasonable measures” to prevent minors (未成年人) from creating accounts.(该法律于2024年11月28日经参议院仅一周讨论后通过，规定从TikTok到Instagram等社交媒体公司必须采取“合理措施”阻止未成年人创建账户。)”强调社交媒体公司需采取措施防止未成年人注册。选项A“Failure to obey could result in heavy fines, reaching up to 50 million Australian dollars. (若违反规定，可能面临高达 5000 万澳元的巨额罚款。)”补充了不遵守法律的后果——高额罚款，符合上文语境。故选A。 3．上文“The force for this law comes from growing concerns about the negative impacts of social media on mental health. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been vocal about the need to shield children from online bullying, peer pressure, and harmful actions. (推动该法律出台的动力源于社会对社交媒体危害心理健康的日益担忧。澳大利亚总理安东尼・阿尔巴尼斯多次强调，必须保护儿童免受网络欺凌、同辈压力和有害行为的影响。)”指出该法律出台的动力源于社会对社交媒体危害心理健康的日益担忧。而政府人员也强调要保护儿童免受网络欺凌、同辈压力和有害行为的影响。选项D“The government’s attitude is clear: adolescents aged 16 and older are thought more capable of navigating these digital challenges. (政府的态度十分明确：16岁及以上的青少年被认为更有能力应对这些数字挑战。)”延续上文内容，即要保护儿童免受网络欺凌、同辈压力和有害行为的影响。而16岁这个门槛是因为16岁及以上的青少年被认为更有能力应对这些数字挑战。故选D。 4．上文 “A recent vote reveals that this protective measure resonates(共鸣)with the Australian public; a striking 77% support the ban. (近期一项投票显示，这一保护性措施与澳大利亚公众产生了共鸣，高达77%的受访者支持该禁令。)”指出77% 的公众支持禁令。选项C“This widespread approval reflects a societal agreements on focusing on child safety in an increasingly interconnected world. (这种广泛认可反映了一个社会共识：在日益互联的世界中，必须将儿童安全置于首位。)”中的“widespread approval”直接呼应前文的“77% support”，解释了公众支持背后的社会共识，衔接自然。故选C。 5．上文“However, while the law sets forth a clear age limit, questions emerge regarding its carrying out. The government has decided not to require users to provide government-issued identification for age confirmation, a decision aimed at addressing privacy concerns but one that raises doubts about how effectively these measures can be fulfilled. (然而，尽管法律设定了明确的年龄限制，其执行问题却引发了争议。政府决定不要求用户提供政府签发的身份证明来验证年龄，这一旨在解决隐私问题的决定，却让人怀疑这些措施能否有效落实。)”指出政府不要求用户提供官方身份证明来验证年龄。选项B“Critics warn that without strong confirmation processes, minors may still find ways to get around restrictions. (批评者警告称，若没有强有力的验证程序，未成年人仍可能找到绕过限制的方法。)”引出批评者对执行漏洞的担忧（未成年人可能绕过限制），与上文的“questions emerge regarding its carrying out”形成对应，逻辑一致。故选B。 八、完形填空 Out-of-towners have long flocked to St Ives. Artists such as J. M W. Turner and Barbara Hepworth were 1 to the town’s clear light. Others come for the seafood and sandy beaches. Even the town’s notoriously aggressive seagulls, who dive-bomb unsuspecting tourists and steal their Cornish pasties, are not enough to 2 outsiders. But St Ives’s popularity has a downside: visitors 3 the local housing market. Locals worry that the town is becoming a playground for rich Londoners, who in the summer months arrive on the sleeper train from Paddington. At the last count, a quarter of the dwellings in St Ives were second homes or 4 . So in May 2016 locals decided to do something about it, voting in a referendum (公投) to introduce a “principal-residence policy”, which stops newly built houses in the town being used as second homes. The thinking went that by stopping holidaymakers from snapping up new-builds, housing would become more 5 to people who live in St Ives all year round. Building firms and DIY shops, for whom second-homers are prized customers, 6 the plan. One property firm even challenged the policy in the High Court. But the legal challenge failed and the second-home ban 7 . Since then a few other Cornish towns have introduced their own versions of the policy. Those involved in designing the plan say that, three years on, it is too early to 8 its impact. But official statistics suggest that excluding second-home buyers from the new-build market has removed a big source of 9 . The price of new homes in the town is 13% below what it might have been if the previous growth rate had continued. Locals 10 to afford a property may like the sound of this. But it has had an unwelcome side-effect: house building has 11 . Developers who bought land when it was pricier can in some cases no longer sell homes at a profit. Others may be holding off from breaking ground in the hope that the policy is 12 . In 2015 Acorn Property Group, a local firm, was about to buy a site for 34 homes,14 of them “affordable” (i.e., sold or let at below-market rates). But the policy made the scheme 13 because the open-market dwellings could no longer subsidize (资助) the affordable ones, the company says. Meanwhile, second-home buyers in St Ives seem to be shifting their attention to 14 buildings, which are not covered by the policy. Data from Hamptons International, a property firm suggest that in St Ives second-homers form a larger share of transactions than before the policy came into force. 15 new-builds, prices have continued to climb. That represents a windfall (意外之财) to locals who already own their homes —and may eventually persuade even more of them to cash in and move out. 1．A．sent B．drawn C．attached D．committed 2．A．take in B．put off C．fight far D．put down 3．A．expand B．lose C．create D．dominate 4．A．holiday lets B．industrial lands C．hi-tech zones D．waste areas 5．A．comfortable B．convenient C．affordable D．important 6．A．advocated B．revised C．presented D．opposed 7．A．fell through B．lagged behind C．went ahead D．came over 8．A．assess B．maximize C．resist D．appreciate 9．A．authority B．income C．conflict D．demand 10．A．refusing B．struggling C．managing D．claiming 11．A．suffered B．changed C．boomed D．disappeared 12．A．passed B．complimented C．justified D．abandoned 13．A．infeasible B．urgent C．distinctive D．unpopular 14．A．newly-built B．rural C．urban D．existing 15．A．Rather than B．Thanks to C．Except for D．Regardless of 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．C 6．D 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．B 11．A 12．D 13．A 14．D 15．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国的圣艾夫斯小镇在面临游客大量涌入，尤其是来自伦敦的游客，导致当地房屋价格上涨和居民生活质量下降的问题时，引入了一项限制房地产投机的措施。该措施让新建房屋更加亲民，新房价格下降了13%，但也对当地房地产市场产生了一些不利影响。尽管存在反对声音，但该政策预计将持续下去。 1．考查动词词义辨析。句意：像J.
