However, you might notice that the same ideas often reappear on certain social media platforms. If this happens, be careful. You may be in what’s called an echo chamber (回音室)—a space where only similar opinions spread. This phenomenon (现象), which has been around since the early times of human culture, has been greatly spread with the use of social media. Imagine ancient humans gathered around a bonfire, sharing only stories and experiences that strengthened their beliefs. Today, social media platforms connect people globally and enable the sharing of thoughts and beliefs. You might have noticed that social media advertising seems to “magically” understand your interests, presenting ads that are surprisingly related to you. This is the result of sophisticated algorithms (算法)—sets of instructions designed to perform tasks or solve problems. Every time we click, like, or share something, we leave a digital footprint that helps algorithms better understand our interests, values, and beliefs. Algorithms then use this information to provide content that meets our interests. Although echo chambers can provide a sense of belonging, they also bring some negative effects. Building a relationship with others only within a one-sided information space can misguide people’s opinions, making it hard for them to accept different points and discuss events with tons of information involved. Echo chambers can also contribute to increasing disagreement and anxiety, which further divides societies. They twist reality, mixing up fact and opinion. This weakness leaves us open to misinformation, influencing both personal decisions and societal dynamics. Luckily, there are many ways to break out of echo chambers. Actively looking for different information sources is rather important for overcoming these disadvantages. This can include diversifying (使多样化) our social media content, reading articles from different points of view, and joining meaningful discussions with people from different backgrounds. Besides, developing critical thinking skills is necessary. We should check facts and remain open to changing our opinions. 31. According to the passage, what is an “echo chamber”? A. A platform that connects people globally. B. A space where people can only get similar ideas. C. A place where people can freely express different opinions. 32. Why does the author mention ancient humans around a bonfire? A. To explain how algorithms were first invented. B. To encourage people to use more traditional methods. C. To compare their communication with modern social media. 33. Why do social media ads seem to understand users’ interests? A. Because ads are designed to solve problems. B. Because ads are carefully chosen by the platform. C. Because algorithms can follow users’ digital footprints. 34. How do echo chambers influence personal decision-making? A They may blind people with similar information. B. They might make decisions better as well as faster. C. They may help provide balanced thoughts and information. 35. Which of the following is suggested as a way to break out of echo chambers? A. Following a few social media accounts. B. Pay close attention to factual information and be open. C. Joining discussions with meaningful topics. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了社交媒体中的 “回音室” 现象，分析其形成原因、负面影响及打破方法。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“You may be in what's called an echo chamber—a space where only similar opinions spread.”可知，“回音室”是一个只有相似观点传播的空间。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This phenomenon, which has been around since the early times of human culture, has been greatly spread with the use of social media. Imagine ancient humans gathered around a bonfire, sharing only stories and experiences that strengthened their beliefs. Today, social media platforms connect people globally and enable the sharing of thoughts and beliefs.”可知，作者提及篝火旁的古代人类是为了将他们的交流与现代社交媒体进行对比。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Every time we click, like, or share something, we leave a digital footprint that helps algorithms better understand our interests, values, and beliefs. Algorithms then use this information to provide content that meets our interests.”可知，社交媒体广告能了解用户兴趣是因为算法可以追踪用户的数字足迹。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Echo chambers can also contribute to increasing disagreement and anxiety, which further divides societies. They twist reality, mixing up fact and opinion. This weakness leaves us open to misinformation, influencing both personal decisions and societal dynamics.”可知，回音室可能会用相似的信息蒙蔽人们，影响个人决策。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Besides, developing critical thinking skills is necessary. We should check facts and remain open to changing our opinions.”可知，关注事实信息并保持开放是打破回音室的方法之一。故选B。 B卷（50分） 一、短文填空。（共10小题：每小题1分，计10分） 从下面方框中选出10个单词，将其正确形式填入短文内，使短文意思正确通顺（每词限用一次）。 ask be hide learn much only proud quarter relax start wise you “You must be Alex.” said a girl, offering her hand.

There are only about 5,600 languages all over the world now. And half of them may disappear in the near future. One organization called Wikitongues is trying its best to save these languages. When a language disappears, many other things can go away as well, like culture and knowledge. Because of this, Wikitongues believes the process of bringing the languages back must be done by speakers themselves. Udell, who works for Wikitongues, says there are many examples of languages that disappeared but later returned to use. “Hebrew died out in the 4th century BC and was revived (复兴) in the 1800s. Now once again, it’s the mother language of millions of people. So, we believe that we can make some changes to other languages, too. We hope so.” Started in 2016, Wikitongues is an open Internet collection of world languages. There are more than 400 languages and dialects (方言) available on Wikitongues’ YouTube channel (频道). Some, like English and Chinese, are spoken by millions of people. Others are uncommon. Bora, for example, is spoken by only a few thousand people. More than 1,500 people from 70 different countries have added videos to the channel. Theron, one of Wikitongues’ volunteers, lives in Namibia. His mother language is Subiya, which is spoken by about 30,000 people. “I think my mother language is the first language I learned when I was born,” Theron said. Theron hopes his work can help keep Subiya from disappearing. And he’s not just sharing his language with others through videos. He is also working hard to create a Subiya dictionary and its teaching materials that can be used in schools. ____51____ ____52____ ____53____ ____54____ ____55____ 【答案】51. (Dying) Languages 52. the speakers’ 53. The example of Hebrew 54. ①. common##popular ②. uncommon 55. a Subiya dictionary and its teaching materials are being created 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了组织Wikitongues为拯救濒危语言所做的努力，包括建立语言视频库、鼓励母语者参与、以希伯来语复兴为例展示语言复兴的可能性，并举例志愿者Theron为保存Subiya语所做的具体工作。 【51题详解】 根据“And half of them may disappear in the near future. One organization called Wikitongues is trying its best to save these languages.”可知，Wikitongues的宗旨是拯救即将消失的语言。故填 (Dying) Languages。 【52题详解】 根据“many other things can go away as well, like culture and knowledge...the process...must be done by speakers themselves”可知，保护语言是母语者的责任。故填the speakers’。 【53题详解】 根据“Hebrew died out in the 4th century BC and was revived (复兴) in the 1800s...we believe that we can make some changes to other languages”可知，以希伯来语为例说明语言复兴具有可能性。故填The example of Hebrew。 【54题详解】 根据“Wikitongues is an open Internet collection of world languages...Some, like English and Chinese, are spoken by millions of people. Others are uncommon.”可知，该组织为各种语言提供了在线分享平台，无论是广泛的还是不常见的语言。故填common/popular；uncommon。 【55题详解】 根据“And he’s not just sharing his language...He is also working hard to create a Subiya dictionary and its teaching materials...”可知，Theron正在努力通过分享视频和编纂Subiya字典和教材保护母语。故填a Subiya dictionary and its teaching materials are being created。 B. （共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 Taking Pictures or Taking Notes? In a class last December, I wrote some directions on the blackboard for students about their final examination. One young girl quickly took a picture of the board using her smartphone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?” “I can’t read my own handwriting,” she explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.” Those words started a heated discussion about taking a picture instead of taking notes. Some took pictures of notes because they thought they might lose paper, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly what had been written on the blackboard. Others told me that during class, they would like to listen to the discussion attentively. Taking notes would distract them from important information. It may be convenient to use cameras as note takers. Yet it does raise some questions about the classroom. Is a picture as an effective (有效的) replacement for the process of note-taking? Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. Encouraging students to take notes seems to be an old-fashioned teaching method. But a method with a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down makes a student’s brain take an active part in it, according to a study. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin keeping it in mind, and break it into smaller pieces and relate it to what they already know, and play with it in their head. Taking a picture does record the information. However, your brain can not get involved in it. And this is what note-taking is exactly rich in. So can the two be as effective as each other? 56. How did the young girl take notes in the writer’s class? ________________________________________________________ 57. Some people thought that their phones were safer than paper, didn’t they? ________________________________________________________ 58. Why do teachers encourage students to take notes? ________________________________________________________ 59. According to the study, writing information down enables the brain to information in a more active way. (No more than 2 words) ________________________________________________________ 60. What is taking notes by hand rich in, according to Paragraph 6? (No more than 5 words.) ________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She took a picture of the board using her smartphone. 57. Yes, they did. 58. Because the act of taking notes not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. 59. keep 60. Brain involvement. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“拍照记笔记还是手写记笔记”展开讨论，分析了两种记笔记方式的特点及教师对学生手写记笔记的态度。 【56题详解】 根据“One young girl quickly took a picture of the board using her smartphone.”可知，这个年轻女孩用智能手机给黑板拍照来记笔记。故填She took a picture of the board using her smartphone. 【57题详解】 根据“Some took pictures of notes because they thought they might lose paper, but they wouldn’t lose their phones.”可知，有些人认为手机比纸张更安全，所以答案是肯定的。故填Yes, they did. 58题详解】 根据“Teachers encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding.”可知，教师鼓励学生记笔记是因为记笔记的行为不仅记录必要的信息，还有助于理解。故填Because the act of taking notes not only records necessary information but also helps prepare the way of understanding. 【59题详解】 根据“Writing things down makes a student’s brain take an active part in it…The act of writing down information enables a person to begin keeping it in mind…”可知，手写信息能让大脑以更主动的方式记住信息，故填keep。 【60题详解】 根据“However, your brain can not get involved in it. And this is what note-taking is exactly rich in.”可知，手写记笔记丰富在让大脑参与其中。故填Brain involvement. 四、书面表达。（计15分） 61. 学校英语报正在开展以“Mistakes—Road Towards Success”为题的讨论。请你根据以下提示，并结合自身感悟，写一篇英语短文投稿。 要求： （1）短文必须包含所有提示信息，并适当发挥； （2）100词左右（标题和开头都已给出，不计入总词数）； （3）文中不得出现真实人名和校名。 Mistakes—Road Towards Success Mistakes are a part of life.

C The Internet provides a great amount of information. However, you might notice that the same ideas often reappear on certain social media platforms. If this happens, be careful. You may be in what’s called an echo chamber (回音室)—a space where only similar opinions spread. This phenomenon (现象), which has been around since the early times of human culture, has been greatly spread with the use of social media. Imagine ancient humans gathered around a bonfire, sharing only stories and experiences that strengthened their beliefs. Today, social media platforms connect people globally and enable the sharing of thoughts and beliefs. You might have noticed that social media advertising seems to “magically” understand your interests, presenting ads that are surprisingly related to you. This is the result of sophisticated algorithms (算法)—sets of instructions designed to perform tasks or solve problems. Every time we click, like, or share something, we leave a digital footprint that helps algorithms better understand our interests, values, and beliefs. Algorithms then use this information to provide content that meets our interests. Although echo chambers can provide a sense of belonging, they also bring some negative effects. Building a relationship with others only within a one-sided information space can misguide people’s opinions, making it hard for them to accept different points and discuss events with tons of information involved. Echo chambers can also contribute to increasing disagreement and anxiety, which further divides societies. They twist reality, mixing up fact and opinion. This weakness leaves us open to misinformation, influencing both personal decisions and societal dynamics. Luckily, there are many ways to break out of echo chambers. Actively looking for different information sources is rather important for overcoming these disadvantages. This can include diversifying (使多样化) our social media content, reading articles from different points of view, and joining meaningful discussions with people from different backgrounds. Besides, developing critical thinking skills is necessary. We should check facts and remain open to changing our opinions. 31. According to the passage, what is an “echo chamber”? A. A platform that connects people globally. B. A space where people can only get similar ideas. C. A place where people can freely express different opinions. 32. Why does the author mention ancient humans around a bonfire? A. To explain how algorithms were first invented. B. To encourage people to use more traditional methods. C. To compare their communication with modern social media. 33. Why do social media ads seem to understand users’ interests? A. Because ads are designed to solve problems. B. Because ads are carefully chosen by the platform. C. Because algorithms can follow users’ digital footprints. 34. How do echo chambers influence personal decision-making? A. They may blind people with similar information. B. They might make decisions better as well as faster. C. They may help provide balanced thoughts and information. 35. Which of the following is suggested as a way to break out of echo chambers? A. Following a few social media accounts. B. Pay close attention to factual information and be open. C. Joining discussions with meaningful topics.
