If all goes well, that baby will still be around in 2100, and might even be an active citizen of the 22nd century. What should we teach that baby to help them survive and flourish in the world of 2050 and beyond? What kind of skills will they need in order to get a job, understand what is happening around them, and navigate their tough life? At present, too many schools across the world focus on providing pupils with a set of predetermined skills, such as writing computer code in C++ and conversing in Chinese. Yet since we have no idea how the world and the job market will look in 2050, we don't really know what particular skills people will need. We might invest a lot of effort in teaching kids how to write in C++ or to speak Chinese, only to discover sooner or later that AI will have been able to code software far better than humans, and that a new translation app will have enabled you to conduct a conversation in almost flawless Mandarin, Cantonese or Hakka, even though you only know how to say ni hao. So what should we be teaching? Many experts argue that schools should downplay technical skills and emphasize general - purpose life skills: the ability to deal with change, to learn new things, and to preserve your mental balance in unfamiliar situations. In order to keep up with the world of 2050, you will above all need to reinvent yourself again and again. To succeed in such a demanding task, you will need to work very hard on getting to know your operating system better — to know what you are and what you want from life. This is, of course, the oldest advice in the book: know yourself. This advice was never more urgent than in the mid - 21st century, because unlike in the days of Laozi or Socrates, now you have serious competition. Coca - Cola, Amazon and Facebook are all racing to hack you. Right now, the algorithms (算法) are watching where you go, what you buy, and who you meet. Soon they will monitor all your steps, breaths and heartbeats. They are relying on big data and machine learning to get to know you better and better. And once these algorithms know you better than you know yourself, they could control and manipulate (操纵) you. In the end, authority will shift to them. Of course, you might be perfectly happy giving up all authority to the algorithms and trusting them to make decisions for you and for the rest of the world. If, however, you want to maintain some control over your personal existence and over the future of life in general, you have to run faster than the algorithms. To run fast, don't take much luggage with you. Leave all your illusions (幻想) behind. They are very heavy. 24. What does the underlined word "downplay" in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Give too much emphasis on something. B. Make people think that something is less important. C. Offer your reasons why something is right or wrong. D. Decide something in advance so that it does not happen. 25. According to the article, ______ plays a vital role in children's bright future. A. imagination B. adaptability C. self - discipline D. a good sense of balance 26. It's important to know our operating system because A. if we don't, algorithms will hack all our devices. B. it is an essential skill for us to succeed in the world of 2050. C.we need to learn how algorithms work and make full use of them. D. we need to outrun algorithms to keep some control over our personal life. 27. The article mainly talks about A. the importance of knowing yourself. B. the threats and dangers of technology. C. what kind of skills we might need in the future. D. some potential benefits algorithms would bring to humankind C Britain's housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide. 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 (超过) £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 debatable. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control committee 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. Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness. A functional society cannot thrive when younger citizens bear unreasonable burdens. As one analyst notes: "We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone." 28. What does the official report predict about young adults? A. Universal elderly poverty. B. Persistent renting difficulties. C. Long - term housing insecurity. D. Unachievable huge property. 29. What brings about the housing crisis? A. Stable rental market. B. Students' reduced debt burden. C. Decades - long policy failure. D. Consistent policy responses. 30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Young adults' housing security should be guaranteed. B. Efforts should be made to create a sustainable society. C. The property of older generations should be passed on. D. The young should be responsible for intergenerational fairness. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Housing: Pricing out the Young? B. Policy: Regulating the Private Owners? C. Landlords: Forced to Accept Rent Hikes? D. Rental Control: Solving the Renter - landlord Conflicts? 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parents are the number one influence in their children's lives. 32 . In a Parents Empowered survey, parents placed themselves last in the line - up of influences on their children — after friends, teachers and media. 33 Research shows that there are three things parents can do to protect children from risky behaviors: bonding, boundaries (边界), and monitoring. The stronger the relationship between parents and their children, the more the child will not want to disappoint the parent. Eating dinner together as a family has a significant impact on protecting children from risky behavior. 34 Listening to children without preaching (说教) strengthens the bond. Boundaries are set when parents set clear family rules on behaviors such as no alcohol or other drugs. Only a small percentage of teens will try these if parents make it very clear and talk about consequences for breaking the family rule. A much needed parental task, that tends to drop as the children become teens, is monitoring. A recent study shows the best kind of parenting to protect youth is "warm and with follow through". 35 When they are going out, ask the questions: Where are you going? Who are you going with? What will you be doing? When will you be home? Will there be alcohol or other drugs there? 36 So it is helpful for kids who have a hard time saying "no" to their friends to be able to use their parents as the fall guys. A. Check on their social media. B. Parents don't always believe this. C. In other words, trust but check on your kids. D. Have consequences when the rules are broken. E. That's because there is family togetherness and discussion. F. There are plenty of dangerous activities kids can get into these days. G. But when the youth answered the same question, they placed their parents first. 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Karen, 16, was a college freshman in a local university.
