Ⅰ.阅读理解 [话题　“脑腐烂”] It's not unusual for the words of influencers to gain popularity.But the influential philosopher Henry David Thoreau was born more than 200 years ago—and now a term he's credited with introducing, “brain rot”， is the Oxford University Press's word or phrase of 2024. Originally introduced by the influential philosopher, according to Oxford University Press, the term first appeared in his 1854 book “Walden, or Life in the Woods”．In the book, Thoreau used “brain rot” to express his concern about the oversimplification of ideas and the numbing of one's intellect due to the wide spread of unreflective habits and the suppression of inner instincts for curiosity and wonder. Today, “brain rot” has gained popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok, thanks to Gen Z and Gen Alpha.The term is now seen as a cautionary term for what might happen to us if we get too distracted by the endless waves of memes and video clips, especially on social media.The frequency of the term's use grew by 230% from 2023 to 2024, according to the publisher's monitoring tools. Cristin Ellis, an authority on Thoreau who teaches literature at the University of Mississippi, explains that in today's usage, “brain rot” is seen as a bad thing, but Thoreau's sense of it is way more extreme.He would accuse our entire 24/7 media culture, including the “serious” news of newspapers, of downplaying our minds.Thoreau valued direct experience over consuming other people's ideas at second hand and encouraged people to go outside and experience the world for themselves. The popularity of “brain rot” suggests a reflective mood and anxieties about striking the right balance between the online world and the real world.It indicates a shift in thought and concerns about where society is heading, similar to other words of the year like “climate emergency” in 2019 and “vax” in 2021.Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages, finds it fascinating that younger people are embracing the term, seeing it as a rightful next chapter in the cultural conversation about humanity and technology. 1．What was Thoreau's original worry when he used the term “brain rot”？ A．The impact of “serious” news of media on our minds. B．The impact of 24/7 media culture on people's minds. C．The excessive use of the Internet leading to a loss of real­world experiences. D．The excessive simplification of concepts and the suppression of instincts. 2．According to the passage, what can be inferred about Thoreau's view on modern media? A．He would completely oppose all forms of modern media. B．He would charge modern media with understating our minds. C．He would support the popularity of “brain rot” on social media. D．He would encourage people to use modern media to gain ideas. 3．What is Casper Grathwohl's attitude towards Gen Z's use of the term “brain rot”？ A．Concerned.　　　　　 B．Positive. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 4．According to the passage, which is TRUE about the term “brain rot”？ A．It is a term that only applies to the younger generation. B．It is a term that has not changed in meaning for centuries. C．It reflects concerns about the impact of the online world. D．Its usage frequency decreased by 230% from 2023 to 2024. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“脑腐烂”一词的起源及其在当今社会中的含义和影响。 1．D　[细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the book, Thoreau used ‘brain rot’ to express his concern about the oversimplification of ideas and the numbing of one's intellect due to the wide spread of unreflective habits and the suppression of inner instincts for curiosity and wonder.( 在书中，梭罗用‘brain rot’来表达他对思想过于简单化和智力麻木的担忧，这是由于普遍存在的不思考的习惯和对好奇心和好奇心的内在本能的压制。)”可知，梭罗使用“脑腐烂”这个词最初是担忧概念的过度简化和本能的压抑。] 2．B　[推理判断题。根据第四段中“Cristin Ellis, an authority on Thoreau who teaches literature at the University of Mississippi, explains that in today's usage, ‘brain rot’ is seen as a bad thing, but Thoreau's sense of it is way more extreme.He would accuse our entire 24/7 media culture, including the ‘serious’ news of newspapers, of downplaying our minds.(在密西西比大学教授文学的研究梭罗的权威克里斯汀·埃利斯解释说，在今天的用法中，‘脑腐烂’被视为一件坏事，但梭罗的感觉要极端得多。他会指责我们整个全天候的媒体文化，包括报纸的‘严肃’新闻，低估了我们的思想。)”可推知，梭罗会指责现代媒体低估了我们的思维。] 3．B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages, finds it fascinating that younger people are embracing the term, seeing it as a rightful next chapter in the cultural conversation about humanity and technology.(牛津语言协会主席卡斯珀•格拉斯沃认为，年轻人正在接受这个词，这令人着迷，他们将其视为人类与技术文化对话中理所当然的下一个篇章。)”可推知，卡斯珀•格拉斯沃认为年轻人使用这个词很有趣，将其视为关于人类与技术的文化对话中合理的新篇章，由此可推知，卡斯珀•格拉斯沃对Z世代使用“脑腐烂”一词的态度是积极的。] 4．C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“Today, ‘brain rot’ has gained popularity, particularly on platforms like TikTok, thanks to Gen Z and Gen Alpha.The term is now seen as a cautionary term for what might happen to us if we get too distracted by the endless waves of memes and video clips, especially on social media.( 如今，由于Z世代和Alpha世代的存在，‘脑腐烂’已经变得流行起来，尤其是在抖音等平台上。这个词现在被视为一个警示语，如果我们被没完没了的表情包和视频剪辑—尤其是在社交媒体上—分散了注意力，可能会发生什么。)”以及最后一段中“The popularity of ‘brain rot’ suggests a reflective mood and anxieties about striking the right balance between the online world and the real world.(‘脑腐烂’一词的流行表明了一种反思情绪和对在网络世界和现实世界之间取得适当平衡的焦虑。)”可知，关于“脑腐烂”这个词，它反映了对网络世界影响的担忧。] Ⅱ.七选五 [话题　中文难学却值得学习] Chinese, the most commonly spoken language in the world, is challenging to master.Rather than an alphabet, Chinese has thousands of characters.On top of that, the language is tonal.　__1__　 So, why to learn Chinese?
