He squeezes into the olevator lobby with dozens of other people-many of them fellow delivery runners-to go up to 25 his hungry office workers wait.Then it is back downstairs and repeat for the rest of the day,from lunchtime through the aftcrnoon and into dinner,26around 8 p.m. 27 of the last-mile delivery workers who wait outside SEG Plaza every day has a formal contract Most are retirees,although during the summer,tecnagers like Linxing appear,too.Linxing 28 (start)a few weeks earlier,after the school year ended,at the suggestion of his uncle,a lelivery driver.The building was a maze,too,with dozens of elevators,some going only to certain floors. ut there was a simple reason Linxing kept coming back:"The money."There is actually not much to be ad.Runners say they gencrally earn about 100 yuan (about $14)a day-far less than the average wage of out S37 a day for private sector workers in Shenzhen But the drivers say 29 29 29 it can speed up deliveries,it is worth the little money.And for the runners,the pay is enough be worthwhile-pocket money for teenagers,or extra cash for retirees who would have trouble 30 (hire)elsewhere. tion B ections:Fill in each blarik with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can only be I once.Note that there is one word more than you need. chaotic B.rarely C.profiles D.decidedly E.identifying F.humble persuaded H.dismissing L dynamics J.cropped K.dedication To Grandmother's TikTok We Go Ider influcncers who share laundry tips and old family recipes are helping Gen Z get through the 高二弦语第】 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap holidays. Nothing about Barbara Costello's favorite Christmas recipe is all that fancy.The overnight breakfast casserole()she makes every year doesn't call for much more than eggs,milk,sausage,checse,and bread thrown into a baking dish.But in the years since Costello first cooked it,that -casserole has become a mark of her growing family's Christmas celebrations. Now her eight grandchildren have come to love the dish-and so have many more people who've never sat in Costello's kitchen.A vidco of Costello making the casserole was one of the first sho posted tc her TikTok account in early 2020,after her daughter32her to join the app.With her TikTok homepage33her as "everyone's grandmother",Costello guides her audience in the art o: entertaining,as well as the less inviting work of keeping house even when no one else will see it.Anc judging by the comments on her videos,she has come to play an unintentionally big role in some of he followers'lives. TikTok is best known as the domain of Gen Z,but Costello is part of a group o "grandfluencers".Through35most typically run by their children or grandchildren,thes TikTokers are tapping into some of the qualities that make grandmas so special.Some accounts,such a Nana's Kitchen and Grandma's Garden,focus primarily on showcasing recipes,while others shar household tips and life advice. For all of the familiar social36of the influencer era,the grandfluencers are rare in thei cultivation of intergenerational relationships:especially on TikTok,young people are mostly talking t other young people.Commenting"mom"or"dad"on celebrities'posts is part of Millennial and Gen- interet speak,but it37conveys the feeling of a sincere familial tie.The viewer responses o Grandma TikTok are different.Take Nana's Kitchen,an account that primarily features closel 38 shots of the 86-year-old Iraqi Turkish woman's hands as she prepares a meal.The commen on Nana s posts,such as this39to her"supportive army of grandchildren learning how to coc together,'are filled with something that is 40 different from the meme-speak()th dominates many other corners of the internet.

(A) Live concerts are becoming a vital part of youth culture in China.In 2024 alone,large-scale shows generated over 26 billion yuan from ticket sales,with nearly 30 million fans filling arenas.But what oxactly makes these events so appealing?I think it's the unique,multi-sensory.experience that digital performances or your playlists just can't provide.A live gig's immersive atmosphere-the shared physical presence,vibrant visuals,and raw energy of the crowd-easily outshines digital experiences. I will never forget my first concert on a warm spring evening.The moment my friends and I stepped into the arena,I felt the air buzzing with excitement.Thousands of people were waiting expectantly,many wearing T-shirts with the singer's name and holding glowing light sticks.Everyone was smiling,chatting and ready for something amazing. When the lights went out,the crowd roared.A single spotlight lit up the stage,and then-booml-the music started.The sound was so powerful that it seemed to pass right through me.Every note was remarkably clear,and the bass made my heart pound.Then the singer's voice came through,dynamic and transporting,far better than I could ever have imagined.Every line was filled with emotion,as if it were telling my very own story. What struck me most profoundly,though,was the connection betwcen that vast crowd of strangers. Apart from my friends,I didn't know the people standing on either side of me,but we sang the same lyrics, moved to the same beat,and waved our arms in unison.At that moment,it didn't matter who we were or where we came from;we were all part of one big family.Then the stage quieted and so did we.As a slow song began,I looked around and saw thousands of glowing lights,the audience swaying together and singing softly.It felt simply magical.I thought about how,in our busy lives,we rarely stop to share moments like these and how much we should. On the joumney home,my voice was hoarse from singing and my legs tired from dancing,yet my heart was full and content.That night gave me more than just music;it gifted me a cherished memory that would stay with me forever.The same holds true for countless young fans,because concerts are not merely events;they are significant milestones on a personal joumey.This is why live concerts have gained in popularity across China:They create shared experiences that bring people together and make life feel richer,brighter,and more alive. 56.What is the primary-reason the author proposes for the growing popularity of live concerts in China? A.The superior sound quality compared to digital music. B.The opportunity to see famous singers in person. C.The creation of shared emotional experiences that unite people.

Ihe need to escape from busy daily routincs and experience cmotional release. B.The desire to collect merchandise and show support for favorite artists. C.The practical need to leamn about now musio trends. D.The financial motivation to invest in valuable concert memories. 59.How would the author likely characterize the social function of live concerts in modern Chinese society? A.As commercial events that primarily benofit the music industry. B.As temporary oommunities where strangers become connected through shared emotion.

(B) The information,sentenoes,or questions that you enter into a Generative AI(Gen AD tool ("prompts")are a big influonce on the quality of outputs you receive.After you enter a prompt,the AI model analyzes your input arid generates a response based on the patterns it has leamned through its training.More descriptive prompts can improve the quality of the outputs. It's very important to keep in mind that AI-generated content can be inaccurate,misleading,entirely fabricated,or offensive,so be sure to carefully review any work containing AI content before you use or publish it.Abuse of Gen AI is a serious form of academic misconduct and can be punished by expulsion (开除)from the University.. ●Be specific Generic prompts like "Write a story"will produce generic results.What kind of story do you want? What genre?Is it for adults or children?Adding this type of context and being specific,clear,and concise will help generate more useful outputs.More specificity can also limit the chances of inaccurate responses. ●"Act as近.." Asking the AI to behave as if it were a type of person,process,or object can be an easy way to start generating better prompts.The AI will attempt to emulate that role and tailor its answers accordingly. For cxample,imagine you wanted help create a recipe based on the ingredients you have in your kitchen.If you added"act as if you are my personal trainer"first,the AI will consider this context in its 高三英语 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap sponse,suggesting a healthy recipe or a meal designed to refucl after a workout. Generative AI can produco many different types of outputs,including code,stories,reports, mmaries,dialogue,business communications,and much more.Being specific about the type of output u want will produce better results.After describing what you want,try adding "Present this in the form f..."and your preferred output.Or start your prompt with,"Crcate a [format of output]about/that :ontains..."ctc. 50.This passage is found in a university's guidelne web page.What may be found there? 1 Core principles for responsible Gen Al use 2 Restrictions on the usage of Gen AL 3 Various samples of well-structured prompts 4 Guides to writing essays with Gen AL A.①②④ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②③· 61.Which of the following subtitles can be filled in blank?

(c In recent years,the food industry has increased its use of labels.Whether the labels say non-GMO'or 'no sugar,'or 'zero carbohydrates',consumers are increasingly demanding more information about what's in their food.One report found that 39 percent of consumers would switch from the brands they currently buy to others that provide clearor,more accurate product information.Food manufacturers are responding to the report with ncw labels to meet that demand,and they're doing so with an eye towards giving their products an advantage over the competition,and bolstering profits. This strategy makes intuitive sense.If consumers say they want transparency,tell them exactly what is in your product.That is simply supplying a certain demand But the marketing strategy in response to this consumor domand has gone beyond showing what is in a product,to labeling what is NOT in the food. 页共6页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App These labels are known as "absence claims"labels,and they represent an cmerging labeling trend that is harmful both to the consumers who purchase the products and the industry that supplies them. For oxample,Hunt's put a "non-GMO label on its canned crushed tomatoes a few years ago-despite the fact that at the time there was no such thing as a GMO tomato on the market.Some dairy companies arc using tho "non-GMO"label on thoir milk,despite the fact that all milk is naturally GMO-free,another label that creates unnocessary fear around food. While creating labels that play on consumer fears and misconceptions about their food may give a company a temporary marketing advantage over competing products on the groccry aisle,in the long term this strategy will have just the opposite effoct:by injocting fear into the discourso about our food,we run the risk of eroding consumer trust in not just a single product,but the cntire food business. Eventually,it becomes a question in consumors'minds:Were these foods ever safe?By purchasing and consuming these types of products,have I already done some kind of harm to my family or the planet? For food manufacturers,it will mean damaged consumer trust and lower sales for everyone.And this isn't just supposition.A roocnt study found that absence claims labols can create a stigma()around foods even when thore is no scientific evidence that they cause harm. It's clear that food manufacturers must tread carefully when it comes.to using absence claims.In addition to the likely negative long-term impact on sales,this verbal trick sends a message that innovations in farming and food processing are unwelcome,cventually leading to less efficicncy,fewer choices for consumers,and ultimately,more costly food products.If we allow this kind of labeling to continue,we will all lose. 63.What is the author's opinion about manufacturers'new markcting strategy? A.Stressmg the absence of certain elements in their products B.Showing the uniquc nutritional value of their products. C.Supplying detailed information of their products. D.Designing transparent labels for their products. 64.What point does the author make about non-GMO labels? A.They are increasingly attracting customers'attention. B.They create lots of trouble for GMO food producers. C.They should be used more for vegetables and milk D.They cause anxiety about food among consumers. 65.What does the author say absence claims labels will do to food manufacturers? A.Cause changes in their marketing strategcs. B.Help remove stigma around their products Erode consumer trust and reduce sales. D.Decrease support from food scicntists. 66.What is the best title for this passage? A.Why Consumers Demand Greater Food Transparency B.Ihe High Cost of"Free-From"Food Labels 商三英语第 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap C.The Benofits of Non-GMO Labeling in the Food Industry D.How Absence Claims Labels Build Consumer Trust Section C Directions:Read the following passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need A.In other words,many public services are simply unavailable for a quarter of the ycar. B.Some extra drilling would be beneficial,particularly for those falling behind. C.This is a more serious question than it sounds. D. Some well-off children often already use the summer to broaden their minds and even do their summer jobs B. But plenty of Western children could usefully spend a bit iongeron their books. F Companies should let them take a bit more,since burnt-out workers are less productive. You return from work on a muggy August evening.Your unwashed teenage son is on the sofa playing Fortnite,as he has been doing for the past cight hours.Your daughter,scrolling through Instagram, acknowledges your presence with a rude grunt().Not for the first time,you ask yourself:why are school summer holidays so insufferably long? 67Many children will return from the long break having forgotten much of what they wero taught the previous year.One study from the American South found that this "summer learning loss"could be as high as a quarter of the year's education.Poor children tend to be the worst affected,since rich ones typically live in homes full of books and are packed off to summer camp to leamn robotics,Latin or the flute.A study from Baltimore found that variations in summer loss might possibly account for two-thirds of the achievement gap between rich and poor children by the age of 14-15.Long holidays definitely strain the budgets of poor families,since free school meals stop and extra child care kicks in. Summer holidays vary greatly from country to country.South Korean children get only three weeks off.Children in Italy and Turkey get a whopping three months.So do those in America,while their parents, unless they are teachers,have an average of only three weeks off a year,among the shortest holidays in the rich world.68 But for their children,six weeks out of class is plenty. It would be unwise to import South Korea's pressure-cooker approach,in which a single exam determines every child's future.69Yes,it would cost money,but there are ways to pay for it.One is to have larger classes.Many parents are obsessed with teacher-to-pupil ratios,but there is not enough evidence that they make much difference.The average Japanese lower-secondary class is more than 50% larger than the average British one,but Japanese children get better results. More time in school need not mean repeating the same old lessons.70 And the summer could also be a time for different kinds of loarning:critical thinking,practical skills,financial literacy,work placements with local firms-schools should be free to oxperiment.Space should not be a problem.Many school buildings sit idle in the summer. 5页共6页 CS扫描全能王 可3亿人都在用的扫描App
