Surrounded by peers in name brands, Perez felt like there was disgrace associated with wearing used clothing. Something changed around five years ago, she recalls — right around the time the social networking platform Tumblr grew in popularity. She noticed a change in how people viewed buying and wearing used clothing. It became a fashionable thing to do. Now, Perez, 21, makes upwards of $1000 each month by selling both handmade and secondhand clothing on Depop, an online resale marketplace with a young user base. “Secondhand shopping has been normalized,” Perez said, 21. “Since so many people are doing it, it’s now seen as cooler. It’s seen as better than going to the mall. Younger people find it fun, like a game. A hunt for something unique.” The increasing returns of that hunt have turned secondhand shopping into a $28 billion industry, according to findings from Third Up, an online consignment store. Secondhand shopping is no longer just a local, community-driven hobby — it has wings. Accelerating these numbers is Generation Z, whose members have embraced secondhand fashion faster than any other age group and account for over 40% of global consumers. The changing consumer habits and huge buying power of Gen Z are driving the value of resale startups like Depop skyward. The app was acquired by craft marketplace Etsy in a $1.6 billion cash deal this month, a move designed to extend (延伸) Etsy’s reach into a younger and digitally-native audience. Depop was the perfect target. Designed to resemble (与……相似) a social media platform, 90% of the app’s active users are under the age of 26. “Teenagers driving the popularity of secondhand fashion is a pattern that can be observed throughout history,” says Jennifer Le Zotte, a historian. “Young people are generally more open to experimenting with styles and reinventing different versions (版本) of themselves. They want to set themselves apart from the previous generation and to participate in creating those styles with their peers.” 4. What did Perez think of secondhand shopping when in middle school? A. Graceful. B. Shameful C. Profitable. D. Fashionable. 5. What has contributed to the growth of the secondhand shopping industry? A. The great job opportunities it creates. B. The promotion of the local community. C. The decline of traditional shopping malls. D. The pleasure of searching for unique items. 6. Why did Etsy acquire Depop? A. To hold onto its active users. B. To attract more younger users. C. To become more competitive digitally. D. To turn itself into a social media platform. 7. According to Le Zotte, why can teenagers popularize secondhand fashion? A. They are pioneering. B. They are energetic. C. They are economical. D. They are observant. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了二手购物由曾被视为羞耻变为流行，Z世代推动其成为280亿美元的产业，Etsy也收购Depop以触达年轻用户。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Eve Perez was in middle school, she remembers feeling embarrassed to shop at secondhand stores. Surrounded by peers in name brands, Perez felt like there was disgrace associated with wearing used clothing. (伊芙·佩雷斯上中学时，她记得自己在二手店购物时感到很尴尬。周围的同学都穿着名牌，佩雷斯觉得穿旧衣服是一种耻辱)”可知，佩雷斯中学时认为二手购物是可耻的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Secondhand shopping has been normalized,” Perez said, 21. “Since so many people are doing it, it’s now seen as cooler. It’s seen as better than going to the mall. Younger people find it fun, like a game. A hunt for something unique.” (21岁的佩雷斯说：“二手购物已经变得正常化了。既然这么多人都在这么做，现在它被认为更酷。它被认为比去商场更好。年轻人觉得这很有趣，就像一场游戏。寻找独特的东西。”)”以及第四段“The increasing returns of that hunt have turned secondhand shopping into a $28 billion industry, according to findings from Third Up, an online consignment store. (根据在线寄售商店Third Up的调查结果，这种寻找带来的回报不断增加，使二手购物成为了一个价值280亿美元的产业)”可知，是寻找独特物品的乐趣推动了二手购物行业的发展。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“The app was acquired by craft marketplace Etsy in a $1.6 billion cash deal this month, a move designed to extend (延伸) Etsy’s reach into a younger and digitally-native audience. Depop was the perfect target. (本月，手工艺品市场Etsy以16亿美元现金收购了这款应用，此举旨在将Etsy的触角延伸至更年轻、更数字化的受众群体。Depop是完美的目标)”可知，Etsy收购Depop是为了将Etsy的触角延伸至更年轻、更数字化的受众群体，即吸引更多年轻用户。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Teenagers driving the popularity of secondhand fashion is a pattern that can be observed throughout history,’ says Jennifer Le Zotte, a historian. ‘Young people are generally more open to experimenting with styles and reinventing different versions (版本) of themselves. They want to set themselves apart from the previous generation and to participate in creating those styles with their peers.” (历史学家詹妮弗·勒佐特说：“纵观历史，青少年推动二手时尚的流行是一种可以观察到的模式。年轻人通常更愿意尝试不同的风格，重塑不同的自我版本。他们想让自己与上一代人区分开来，并与同龄人一起参与创造这些风格。”)”可知，青少年具有开创性，愿意尝试新事物，这使他们能够推动二手时尚的流行。故选A。 C Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering. We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意的) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable. What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in. Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used. And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves. 8. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean? A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly. 9. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability? A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent. 10. How does forgetting contribute to learning? A. It prevents the flow of information. B. It pushes people to review regularly. C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning. D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information. 11. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process. C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过科学事实、案例分析和逻辑推理，论证了“遗忘是大脑的重要功能”这一观点，并鼓励读者正确看待遗忘现象并对其加以利用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not.(别不信，遗忘事物其实是一种福气)”提到能够遗忘是一件幸事，划线词所在句子以及下文是提供支撑性证据，论证“遗忘是一件幸事”这一观点；结合下文“Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering.(每一次让你懊悔的交谈，每一次你所经历的被拒绝的时刻，每一次你未系好拉链就出门的举动，都清晰地印刻在你的脑海中，就如同你上周早餐吃了什么一样，也包括那些给你带来最大快乐的时刻。那是一个充满混乱与痛苦的世界)”可知，此处是作者让读者想象一个所有遇到的细节都无法遗忘的世界、一切都永远被刻在脑海里的世界，那将是充满混乱和痛苦的世界。故划线词indelibly意思是“永久地”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable.(乍一看，这听起来像是某种超能力。但舍雷舍夫斯基却称其令人精疲力竭、分心不已，而且情绪上难以承受)”可知，谢雷舍夫斯基认为他的能力是一种精神负担。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in.(正是它让我们能够集中注意力，帮助我们从杂乱的信息中提取出关键信息，并让大脑根据我们所处的环境来确定哪些才是最重要的)”可知，遗忘能让大脑优先处理重要的信息。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves.(相反，这并非是无法改变的固定状态，而是我们能够加以调整、能够自行塑造的特性)”可知，作者建议读者参与遗忘过程。故选B项。 D Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets,” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 12. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By learning algorithms. B. By making use of online tools. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 13. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. C. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 14. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B. The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了斯坦福大学商学院副教授Daniela Saban关于“匹配市场”的研究，通过在线约会平台和志愿者匹配平台的案例，阐述了合理设计的算法如何提升匹配过程的公平性与有效性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). (无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用。但随着人们越来越多地借助数字平台寻求机会，斯坦福大学商学院运营、信息与技术领域的副教授Daniela Saban表示，现在是时候审慎审视算法所扮演的角色了)”可知，如今人们通过使用在线工具，例如各类应用程序、数字平台来寻找机会。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. (通过分析该应用程序的数据，Saban 开发了一个模型：它不仅会依据用户的偏好对潜在匹配对象进行优先级排序，还会考虑到潜在匹配对象的另一方是否可能对此感兴趣。Saban 指出：“我不仅想给你推荐你会喜欢的人，还想给你推荐也会喜欢你的人。”)”可知，Saban 为约会应用开发的模型核心在于兼顾双方的偏好，即注重双向偏好匹配。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. (一些机构收到的报名人数多得难以应对，有时甚至超出了实际需求，而另一些机构却根本难以吸引到任何志愿者。Saban 及其团队通过调整搜索算法，将机构所需志愿者数量与已招募到的志愿者数量纳入考量，从而得以确保志愿者能在各类志愿机会间实现更合理的分配)”可知，Saban 调整VolunteerMatch算法的依据是平衡志愿者的供需关系，即机构的需求与已有的志愿者供给。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. (无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇指出人们依赖数字平台寻找机会，进而引出Saban 关于算法在“匹配市场”中作用的研究；随后通过在线约会平台（提升双向匹配成功率）和志愿者匹配平台（平衡志愿者供需）两个具体案例，说明合理设计的算法能优化匹配效果；最后总结“如果我们希望算法发挥积极作用，就需要在设计时做出有意识的选择”，全文核心围绕C选项“设计算法以实现更好的匹配”展开，适合作为标题。故选C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。 During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ___16___ You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset. One of the major contributors of a negative body image is peer pressure. Even if you do not think you are being bullied by your group of friends you may be laughed at casually about your appearance or you may simply notice that they seem more “perfect” than you. This can have a negative impact on your body image. ___17___ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture may also have a negative impact on one’s body image. If your culture values a particular body image, then that would make you unhappy if you don’t match it. A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, over exercising, isolation, and risky surgeries. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness. ___18___ To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine if everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ___19___ Beauty standards keep changing all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop! ___20___ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you keep. Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others. A. Your body image is influenced by many factors. B. Another major factor is what is shown in the media. C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself. D. More importantly, there is no such thing as a perfect body. E. In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance. F. Also, instead of focusing on appearances, learn to value people for who they really are. G Over focusing on appearance can stop you from appreciating your other positive qualities. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. D 20.

In my view, this act of kindness ensures the cats are well-fed and cared for, reducing their suffering. It also fosters a sense of community and responsibility among students. However, there are also downsides. Random and frequent feeding may attract more stray cats to the campus, leading to hygiene issues and pollution. Moreover, some cats might become overly dependent or even aggressive, posing potential risks to students. Therefore, I suggest that the school take measures to manage these stray cats properly. For instance, we could cooperate with animal rescue organizations to provide vaccinations and find them adoptive homes. Students are encouraged to report sightings of stray cats instead of feeding them directly. Together, we can create a safer and more harmonious campus for both humans and animals. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇短文投稿，要求考生写一篇短文，分析许多同学在课后对流浪猫进行投喂这一现象并提出建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 普遍的：common→universal 吸引：attract→appeal to 导致：lead to→result in 缺点：downside→shortcoming 2.句式拓展 合并句子 原句：In my view, this act of kindness ensures the cats are well-fed and cared for, reducing their suffering.

During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory. As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!” As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today?” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well. One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …” “STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me. “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE?” He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse. 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。 I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I knocked at the door and it opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. The faded sunflower, once golden and bright, now mirrored Dad’s silent sacrifices. Memories flooded in: him skipping meals to pay for my textbooks, his cracked hands gripping the steering wheel, and the way he proudly called his patches “medals.” My outburst replayed in my head, sharp and ugly. Guilt gnawed at me as I realized his questions weren’t prying—they were his lifeline to my world. The quiet click of the door echoed louder than any argument. Paragraph 2 I knocked at the door and it opened. Dad sat on the edge of his bed, the sunflower keychain trembling in his hands. “I… I’m sorry,” I choked out. He looked up, eyes weary but soft. “I just wanted to know you’re okay,” he murmured. Tears blurred my vision as I hugged him, his patched uniform rough against my cheek. “Your medals are real,” I whispered. He laughed, a warm sound that melted the tension. From then on, his “How’s school?” became a bridge, not a burden. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在高中时期因学业压力大，对关心自己的出租车司机父亲恶语相向，事后感到后悔，最终向父亲道歉并和解的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我自己也惊呆了，我的目光落在钥匙链上，我的脑子飞快地转着。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到钥匙链后，回忆起父亲对自己的爱与付出，内心充满愧疚，开始反思自己的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“我敲了敲门，门开了”可知，第二段可描写作者鼓起勇气向父亲道歉，两人进行沟通交流，最终化解矛盾，修复关系。 2.续写线索：看到钥匙链回忆父亲付出（产生愧疚）——鼓起勇气敲门找父亲——向父亲道歉——父亲理解包容 ——矛盾化解，关系修复 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 意识到：realize/be aware ② 颤抖：tremble/quiver ③ 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ① 自豪地：proudly/with pride ② 温暖的：warm/cozy 【点睛】【高分句型 1】“I just wanted to know you’re okay,” he murmured.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】Guilt gnawed at me as I realized his questions weren’t prying—they were his lifeline to my world.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 汕头市潮阳实验学校2025～2026学年度第一学期 高二第一次月考考试英语试卷 本试卷10页，满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如 需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上， 写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，只需将答题卡交回。 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Charles Library Room Reservation System Welcome to the Charles Library study room and space reservation system!

B When Eve Perez was in middle school, she remembers feeling embarrassed to shop at secondhand stores. Surrounded by peers in name brands, Perez felt like there was disgrace associated with wearing used clothing. Something changed around five years ago, she recalls — right around the time the social networking platform Tumblr grew in popularity. She noticed a change in how people viewed buying and wearing used clothing. It became a fashionable thing to do. Now, Perez, 21, makes upwards of $1000 each month by selling both handmade and secondhand clothing on Depop, an online resale marketplace with a young user base. “Secondhand shopping has been normalized,” Perez said, 21. “Since so many people are doing it, it’s now seen as cooler. It’s seen as better than going to the mall. Younger people find it fun, like a game. A hunt for something unique.” The increasing returns of that hunt have turned secondhand shopping into a $28 billion industry, according to findings from Third Up, an online consignment store. Secondhand shopping is no longer just a local, community-driven hobby — it has wings. Accelerating these numbers is Generation Z, whose members have embraced secondhand fashion faster than any other age group and account for over 40% of global consumers. The changing consumer habits and huge buying power of Gen Z are driving the value of resale startups like Depop skyward. The app was acquired by craft marketplace Etsy in a $1.6 billion cash deal this month, a move designed to extend (延伸) Etsy’s reach into a younger and digitally-native audience. Depop was the perfect target. Designed to resemble (与……相似) a social media platform, 90% of the app’s active users are under the age of 26. “Teenagers driving the popularity of secondhand fashion is a pattern that can be observed throughout history,” says Jennifer Le Zotte, a historian. “Young people are generally more open to experimenting with styles and reinventing different versions (版本) of themselves. They want to set themselves apart from the previous generation and to participate in creating those styles with their peers.” 4. What did Perez think of secondhand shopping when in middle school? A. Graceful. B. Shameful C. Profitable. D. Fashionable. 5. What has contributed to the growth of the secondhand shopping industry? A. The great job opportunities it creates. B. The promotion of the local community. C. The decline of traditional shopping malls. D. The pleasure of searching for unique items. 6. Why did Etsy acquire Depop? A. To hold onto its active users. B. To attract more younger users. C. To become more competitive digitally. D. To turn itself into a social media platform. 7. According to Le Zotte, why can teenagers popularize secondhand fashion? A. They are pioneering. B. They are energetic. C. They are economical. D. They are observant. C Forgetting things is a blessing believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering. We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意的) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable. What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in. Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used. And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves. 8. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean? A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly. 9. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability? A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent. 10. How does forgetting contribute to learning? A. It prevents the flow of information. B. It pushes people to review regularly. C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning. D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information. 11. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process. C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve. D Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets,” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 12. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By learning algorithms. B. By making use of online tools. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 13. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. C. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 14. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B. The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution 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。 During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ___16___ You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset. One of the major contributors of a negative body image is peer pressure. Even if you do not think you are being bullied by your group of friends, you may be laughed at casually about your appearance or you may simply notice that they seem more “perfect” than you. This can have a negative impact on your body image. ___17___ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture may also have a negative impact on one’s body image. If your culture values a particular body image, then that would make you unhappy if you don’t match it. A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, over exercising, isolation, and risky surgeries. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness. ___18___ To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine if everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ___19___ Beauty standards keep changing all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of it is due to makeup, angles and lighting and Photoshop! ___20___ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you keep. Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others. A. Your body image is influenced by many factors. B. Another major factor is what is shown in the media. C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself. D. More importantly, there is no such thing as a perfect body. E. In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance. F. Also, instead of focusing on appearances, learn to value people for who they really are. G. Over focusing on appearance can stop you from appreciating your other positive qualities. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 。 One of the most useful things I’ve learned is how to do nothing.

During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory. As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!” As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today?” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well. One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …” “STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me. “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE?” He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse. 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。 I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I knocked at the door and it opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
