Not in Fear of Technology, but in Pursuit of Benefits
Back in the 20th century, bored students might draw in their textbooks or stare out of the window. Technology has completely changed the situation. Nowadays many teenagers bring smartphones to classrooms, partly ____1____ the apps on phones are appealing. Governments from China to Finland, as well as dozens of American states, have introduced different bans on these handsets due to worries about their effect on classroom performance. This may seem a fear of technology but it is not.
Banning phones from lessons doesn’t mean ____2____ (rob) children of experience with modern technology. They get plenty of that outside school; gaps can be filled up. Tech-enthusiasts like to point to a long history of ____3____ (misplace) doubt about technology and its impact on education. Their favorite example is Plato, who complained that writing, ____4____ functions cover storing facts and arguments on paper, would weaken pupils’ ability to remember them. Plato was wrong, but his mistake two thousand years ago does not mean that today’s worries are misguided.
These tech-enthusiasts do not always know ____5____ is in the best interests of the students. Actually, banning smartphones from classrooms improves their academic performance. A recent study, following 17,000 higher-education students in India for three years, concluded that requiring phones ____6____ (leave) outside classrooms led to a measurable improvement in grades.
And the benefits of restricting smartphone use may go ____7____ better exam results. Another finding in the Indian study was that, after a while, the bans became popular with students. That fits with tales from young people, suggesting that the problem ____8____ lie in collective action. If most students are socializing on phones, anyone who tries to focus on lessons instead loses some networking opportunities. But if schools completely ban smartphone use, ____9____, will spend time socializing this way. Students will then spend more time interacting with friends in the real world. So, any school that has not restricted smartphones ____10____ (advise) to ban them during classes. In the long run, students may express gratitude for the ban.
【答案】1. because
2. robbing 3. misplaced
4. whose 5. what
6. to be left
7. beyond 8. may
9. nobody 10. is advised

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了本文指出多国多地禁课堂手机非惧科技,其不剥夺孩子接触机会,且能提升学业、促进现实社交,建议学校课上禁用手机。
【1题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:如今,许多青少年会将智能手机带进教室,部分原因是手机上的应用程序颇具吸引力。引导原因状语从句,表示“因为”用because。故填because。
【2题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:禁止在课堂上使用手机并不意味着剥夺孩子们接触现代科技的机会。短语mean doing sth.表示“意味着做某事”。故填robbing。
【3题详解】
考查形容词。句意:技术爱好者们常常会提及这样一个事实:长期以来,人们一直对技术及其对教育的影响存在错误的怀疑态度。修饰名词doubt,表示“不当的”,用形容词misplaced,故填misplaced。
4题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们最喜欢举的例子是柏拉图,他抱怨说,书写这种活动(其功能包括将事实和论点记录在纸上)会削弱学生记忆这些内容的能力。定语从句先行词为writing,从句中functions前缺定语,表 “书写的功能”,故用关系代词whose引导定语从句。故填whose。
【5题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这些热衷于科技的人往往并不清楚哪些做法最有利于学生。宾语从句中缺主语,且指代 “对学生最有利的事物”,故用what。故填what。

【10题详解】

Does Group Chat Make You Feel Bad?
I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notices and messages constantly stream in. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and eager to pick up the phone. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Has something terrible happened? My anxiety is ____11____ as new messages mount, and I’m praying this meeting ends sooner.
This is a typical emotional change of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone. Starting as a new ____12____ for long-distance connection with multiple friends, group chats have become the common way we stay in touch. According to a recent research project, an average adult in Britain is part of 83 group chats — a(n) ____13____ situation highlighting how over connected people are. But why exactly do they cause such negative emotions?
“When I see tons of messages coming through I get stressed that I may lose track of ____14____ if I don’t check them from time to time. Or I worry I’ve said something wrong,” says one interviewee, “Not joining in a group chat may in some way ____15____ our pressure, because then you’ll get loads to catch up on.”
There’s a lack of real connection too. “Group chats can make us feel surrounded, yet still somehow on the outside,” says Abby Rawlinson, a psychologist, “If you know everyone’s chatting and you’re not part of the flow, it arouses the ache of ____16____ .”
However, the darker side of a group chat occurs when things go from lighthearted jokes to ____17____ harmless comments causing the wildfire of negativity. “FOMO [fear of missing out] in group chats is real,” says another interviewee, “If you’re added to a smaller group chat without a certain friend, that implies the friend has been ____18____ for a certain reason. No one in the new chat group intends to hurt others, but somehow, gossip about that friend later appears, indicating that leaving group chats equals the ____19____ of being talked about behind your back.”
“The emotional politics of a group chat are the dynamics that shape how seen, ____20____ or valued we feel,” says Rawlinson, “Over time, these patterns start to mirror real-life social system and cause misunderstanding.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
My dad is a crossword-lover. When I was a little girl Dad would read his crossword puzzles to me from a magazine. I can still remember how he turned his pencil excitedly as he discovered a new phrase. If my attention weakened, he would say, “Feeling sleepy? Never mind, I’ll keep reading. Some of the words may crawl into your mind.” Bit by bit, Dad introduced me to the power of words and guided my life’s calling, a purpose I never questioned or bothered to pursue.
Years passing, I grew into a professional writer. I found that he never asked me to suggest a word or help him with a puzzle when I was working. For him, my words were precious; each held value. But it did not matter much to me how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved word-craft and making up stories that brought ideas to life.
Recently when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece of essay that they chose to publish online rather than in print, I was kind of hurt! But I comforted myself by looking at the bright side — so many people read the piece and shared joyful emotions and praise on social media. Although some worldly-wise friends told me that I was paid peanuts, I myself felt well rewarded.
While I was content, a certain anxiety would secretly emerge: would the thought of earnings cheapen the dignity of my work? Dad’s solution was: “Why not both? Money isn’t everything, but isn’t it good to have enough to help yourself and those close to you? And for your talents and efforts to be valued?” Dad believed not only that more wealth did not mean greater happiness, but also that no effort should be undervalued.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Dad’s pencil: its purpose may be to solve a crossword puzzle, but it was also there for anyone writing down a life-changing number in a lottery ticket (彩票). So couldn’t my words help complete my life purpose and earn a better living too? Now I take up assignments — some that pay well, some that don’t — and they both fill me with joy.
36. Dad didn’t turn to the author to solve puzzles probably because he________.
A. didn’t know the fun of sharing games B. failed to see her willingness to help
C. didn’t want to interrupt her literary creation D. trusted his own ability to solve puzzles
37. “I was paid peanuts” in paragraph 3 indicates that________.
A. my writing deserved a better pay B. I got some nuts from my writing
C. my writing ability was overrated D. I earned more than I should have
38. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A. Dad uses a pencil to balance his life wisely.
B. Her life purpose is realized through writing.
C. She sees both her words’ material and spiritual value.
D. Multiple roles of a pencil may help change one’s life.
39. What can we learn about Dad and the author?
A. Dad developed her attention by reading.
B. Dad advised her to be a professional writer.
C. Dad improved her ability to solve word puzzles.
D. Dad helped shape her view on writing for a living.

Now I take up assignments — some that pay well,some that don’t — and they both fill me with joy.(那么,我的文字就不能帮助我完成人生目标,赚取更好的生活吗?现在,我接受任务——有些报酬丰厚,有些报酬不高——但它们都让我充满喜悦。)”可知,父亲帮助作者塑造了她对写作谋生的看法。故选D。

Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports, and it’s tons of fun. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net at the center. Each end of the court has a kitchen (the non-volley zone; volley is a hit of the ball before it touches the ground). Follow these simple rules and I bet you’ll be out playing doubles pickleball in no time.
#2:the ball must bounce once on each side before either team can volley
Before any player can hit a shot out of the air, the ball must bounce once on each side. So, if your partner is serving and you start up at the kitchen, you’re in a dangerous position, because the returning team can hit a shot right at you. If you react with a volley, it’s considered a fault and you’ll lose the point because you don’t let the ball bounce first on your side. (*A point is a unit of scoring that can only be won by the serving team.)
#3:each point continues until a fault
After the serve, play continues until a rally is won either by someone hitting a winning shot or a fault is committed. A fault ends the rally. In pickleball, there are some basic fault types:
The ball lands in the kitchen.
The ball lands out of bounds(behind the baseline or outside the sideline).
The ball hits the net and falls on your side.
The ball bounces twice on one side before the player can return it.
(To Be Continued)

【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍匹克球这一热门运动的场地特点,重点讲解两项核心规则(双跳后可截击、失误终止回合),助力读者快速掌握双打玩法。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So, if your partner is serving and you start up at the kitchen, you’re in a dangerous position, because the returning team can hit a shot right at you.If you react with a volley, it’s considered a fault and you’ll lose the point because you don’t let the ball bounce first on your side. (*A point is a unit of scoring that can only be won by the serving team.) (所以,如果你的搭档正在发球,而你一开始就站在非截击区,那你就处于一个危险的位置,因为接发球的一方可以直接把球打向你。如果你做出凌空截击的动作,这会被判定为一次失误,你方就会丢掉这一分,原因是你没有让球先在你这一侧落地。(一分是一个计分单位,且只有发球方能够赢得这一分。))”可知,你的搭档正在发球,你站在非截击区,就处于一个危险的位置,因为接发球的一方可以直接把球打向你。如果你不小心做出凌空截击的动作,这会被判定为一次失误,你方就会丢掉这一分,原因是你没有让球先在你这一侧落地印,你方丢分,表示你的对手很可能会得分。故选A。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据#3:each point continues until a fault部分“The ball lands in the kitchen. The ball lands out of bounds(behind the baseline or outside the sideline). The ball hits the net and falls on your side. The ball bounces twice on one side before the player can return it. (球落在了非击球区里。球越过了边线(落在底线后或边线外)。球击中了网柱然后落在了你们这一侧。球员在回球前,球在这一侧弹了两次才被回击。)”可知,①描述球击中球网然后落在了自己这一侧,②描述球落在非击球区,都属于犯规。故选A。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports, and it’s tons of fun. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net at the center. Each end of the court has a kitchen (the non-volley zone; volley is a hit of the ball before it touches the ground). Follow these simple rules and I bet you’ll be out playing doubles pickleball in no time. (皮克球运动如今已成为发展最为迅速的体育项目之一,而且非常有趣。它在一块羽毛球大小的场地进行,场地中央设有网。场地的两端各有一个“非击球区”(即非击球区;击球时球必须先触地)。“遵循这些简单的规则,我敢保证你很快就能和伙伴们一起玩双人皮克球了。)”以及本文介绍匹克球这一热门运动的场地特点,重点讲解两项核心规则(双跳后可截击、失误终止回合),助力读者快速掌握双打玩法。可知,您可能在体育网站的“操作指南”板块找到这篇文章。故选C。
(C)
Even if you don’t worry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy the human race, you might fear its huge appetite for electricity will damage the environment. Asking an AI chatbot a question is equivalent to using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned internet search. As the AI boom took off, you may think that emissions(排放)from tech giants evidently rise. With huge investments in new data centers planned, more rises seem inevitable. But the worry is on shaky ground.
In absolute terms, AI may be less energy-hungry than assumed. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that electricity consumption by data centers could more than double in five years. Even if energy usage increases sharply, the basic is still low. Data centers currently account for only about 1.5% of global electricity consumption — and the vast majority of that is due to streaming, social media and online shopping, not AI.
Handled in a smart way, some of AI’s electricity use will help with greening the economy. AI is highly capable of identifying complex patterns and improving systems, which can help reduce emissions. It is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical networks with real-time balance of supply and demand. Besides, it has assisted in reducing petrol consumption in shipping through adjusting routes and speeds to the fittest, and spotting leaks of methane (a greenhouse gas) by cooperating with satellites and ground sensors.
The task for policymakers and industry bosses is to maximize AI’s advantages in saving energy, thus minimizing its climate impacts. The most elegant solution would be for governments to set a proper price on carbon. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, it would be more realistic to focus on other measures.
The first is greater openness. From August 2026, the EU will require some AI developers to report their energy use in detail, which can be copied elsewhere. A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that arranging to shift volume of work among data centers at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy networks, making them better matched to renewable power. Third, tech firms should live up to their environmental promises. Many now rely heavily on buying renewable-energy credits, a problematic way of balancing their emissions. A better one is to use their influence to promote the decarbonization of the energy networks by pushing for planning reform and supporting alternatives like nuclear power. Doubling down on these would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero.
43. The reason why the author says “the worry is on shaky ground” is that________.
A. tech companies have already achieved their carbon goals
B. future data centers will be powered by renewable energy
C. the current energy use by AI is small within global context
D. AI’s environmental benefits can make up for its energy cost
44. We can learn from paragraph 3 that________.
A. energy used by AI would otherwise realize a green economy
B. energy saving in shipping is partly due to AI-improved routes
C. AI’s real-time management has raised electricity consumption
D. methane leak detection done by AI can be sensed by satellites
45. Which of the following is recommended to handle AI’s climate impacts?
A. Setting a global carbon price for tech industries.
B. Scheduling data centers’ workloads dynamically.
C. That tech firms balance emissions through credit exchange.
D. That AI developers stay open to others’ reporting approaches
46. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Technology’s Impact on Climate Change B. Government Regulations on AI and Energy
C. AI’s Energy Demand and Tech Innovation D. AI’s Energy Consumption and Conservation
【答案】43. C 44. B 45. B 46. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了AI能耗担忧被夸大:IEA称数据中心用电仅占全球1.5%,AI占比更小,且AI可优化电网、航运与甲烷监测助减排。关键在透明报告、分时负载与清洁电源,辅以碳价,可使AI成为气候英雄而非元凶。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In absolute terms, AI may be less energy-hungry than assumed. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that electricity consumption by data centers could more than double in five years. Even if energy usage increases sharply, the basic is still low. Data centers currently account for only about 1.5% of global electricity consumption—and the vast majority of that is due to streaming, social media and online shopping, not AI.(从绝对意义上讲,人工智能可能不像人们想象的那么耗能。国际能源署(IEA)估计,数据中心的用电量将在五年内增加一倍以上。即使能源使用急剧增加,基本价格仍然很低。目前,数据中心的用电量仅占全球用电量的1.5%左右,其中绝大部分用电量来自流媒体、社交媒体和在线购物,而不是人工智能)”可知,数据中心仅占全球电力消耗的1.5%,且大部分来自流媒体、社交媒体等非AI活动,所以第一段中提到AI对电力的巨大需求会破坏环境这一担心是站不住脚的。短语on shaky ground意为“站不住脚,令人质疑的”。故选C项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides, it has assisted in reducing petrol consumption in shipping through adjusting routes and speeds to the fittest, and spotting leaks of methane (a greenhouse gas) by cooperating with satellites and ground sensors.(此外,它还通过调整航线和航速来帮助减少航运中的汽油消耗,并通过与卫星和地面传感器合作来发现甲烷的泄漏)”可知,航运业节约了很多能源部分原因是由于人工智能改善了航线。故选B项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that arranging to shift volume of work among data centers at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy networks, making them better matched to renewable power.(第二是重新思考数据中心的运作方式。国际能源署指出,在不同时间安排数据中心之间的工作量可以减轻压力,并有助于平衡能源网络,使其更好地与可再生能源相匹配)”可知,为解决AI对气候的影响,文中建议可以动态安排数据中心的工作量。故选B项。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Even if you don’t worry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy the human race, you might fear its huge appetite for electricity will damage the environment. Asking an AI chatbot a question is equivalent to using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned internet search. As the AI boom took off, ou may think that emissions(排放)from tech giants evidently rise. With huge investments in new data centers planned, more rises seem inevitable. But the worry is on shaky ground.(即使你不担心人工智能(AI)会毁灭人类,你也可能担心它。向人工智能聊天机器人提问,相当于使用比老式互联网搜索多10倍的能量。随着人工智能的蓬勃发展,你可能会认为科技巨头的排放量明显上升。随着对新数据中心的巨额投资计划,更多的上涨似乎是不可避免的。但这种担忧是站不住脚的)”并纵观全文可知,文章开头提到人工智能耗能巨大有可能危害气候引发担忧,下文否定了这一担忧,并指出人工智能的一些电力使用将有助于绿色经济,在节约能源方面的优势,有关部门的加倍努力将有助于人工智能从气候嫌疑犯转变为气候英雄。由此可知,D项概括主旨,适合用作标题。故选D项。

How Could Louvre(卢浮宫)Robbery Have Happened?
In the morning on October the 19th 2025, after thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in broad daylight,making off with 8 pieces of treasures, an embarrassed nation is asking itself a question: How could France let this happen? ____47____ Problems related to funds have actually held back the state-owned museum’s ability to manage massive crowds and ultimately secure some of the world’s most valuable collections of art.
The fact that the break-in occurred at the Louvre Palace,a symbol of France’s cultural might, and encountered little resistance, has French officials questioning not just the Louvre’s defenselessness, but that of cultural sites across the country.Several ministers arranged for a crisis meeting to examine the extent of the security breakdown.Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin expressed, “One thing is certain:it’s that we have failed”. ____48____
The museum staff are placing the blame on years of staffing cuts.The continuous layoffs have left the Louvre with tough choices over where to position a limited number of security guards and cameras.They guard more than 700,000 square feet of exhibition space that contains masterpieces ranging from the Mona Lisa to many ancient statues from Egypt. ____49____ “We were shouting from the rooftops,“Elise Muller,a Louvre security guard and union official said,”We can now see how little we were listened to.”In June,museum staff even mounted a protest over conditions at the museum,saying the crowds were adding stress to the security team in charge of monitoring its collection.
____50____ President Macron intends to construct a new entrance and take pressure off the symbolic glass structure where visitors currently enter the museum and fast-track visits to the Mona Lisa,the Louvre’s main attraction. But critics complain Macron’s plan won’t be finished until 2031 at the earliest.Besides,finding public funds for any repair of the Louvre is going to be a challenge.The longer France struggles to walk out of the financial collapse,the more it chances losing priceless works in robbery that French officials say are increasingly well-organized.
A. The staff have given up making efforts to reverse such a serious situation.
B. In his opinion,the theft succeeded in giving France an unacceptable image.
C. The answer points to its public finances already under great constant stress.
D. Dig into the question,and you’ll uncover the answer hidden behind its works of art.
E. Due to such overload,museum staff repeatedly gave authorities warnings about security threats.
F. An ambitious plan to transform the museum has thus taken shape and is under heated discussion.

Mercury (汞)Threat in Ocean
A newly-published study, led by researchers from Peking University with experts from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, has found that ocean, with its continental shelf holding the largest amount of mercury, is now facing a rapidly increasing possibility of mercury release.
According to the study, continental shelves are disturbed by human activities. Trawling, during which fishermen pull wide nets behind their ships for fish, is one to blame. When the fishing boats with large nets drag through the seabed, they boost the release rate of mercury buried for decades or centuries. The research also uncovered the similar negative impact of dredging, where people remove mud and unwanted materials from the shelf with special machines to deepen it or look for something. The above activities disturb over 5,000 tons of mercury annually, speeding up its release.
Meanwhile, climate change is worsening the situation. The researchers have concluded from their observation that the increasing quantity of mercury release in recent decades from ocean is related to global warming, a tendency with various side effects. They explained that rising temperatures put the decomposition of organic matter in continental shelves on a faster track, promoting the amount of mercury release. Another study on waters, continental shelf being a part, has shown that for every 10℃ increase in temperature, the breakdown rate of sediments (沉积物) almost doubles.
Therefore, it is suggested that policies be made on banning or at least reducing inappropriate ocean resource development based on scientific assessment and international cooperation. And a clear goal for a slower global warming pace, supported by reliable scientific research, should be set and then translated into an actionable strategy and achieved worldwide. If these measures are adopted, this last line of mercury defense will probably be safeguarded.

Future Life: Smart Homes in 2034
In ten years, I believe our homes will become much smarter, transforming daily life. Smart devices, which are now limited to phones and speakers, will control everything from lighting to cooking. For example, a fridge that can remind us to buy milk or an AI assistant that adjusts room temperature based on the weather will make life more convenient. What’s more, virtual reality (VR) will allow us to “visit” friends or attend meetings as if we were physically present, even if they live far away.
I think this change will greatly improve our quality of life. Smart homes will save time and energy, which is important for busy people. However, I also worry that over-reliance on technology might reduce face-to-face communication, which is essential for building relationships.
Overall, while smart homes offer many benefits, we should use them wisely to balance convenience and human connection.

Not in Fear of Technology, but in Pursuit of Benefits
Back in the 20th century, bored students might draw in their textbooks or stare out of the window. Technology has completely changed the situation. Nowadays many teenagers bring smartphones to classrooms, partly ____1____ the apps on phones are appealing. Governments from China to Finland, as well as dozens of American states, have introduced different bans on these handsets due to worries about their effect on classroom performance. This may seem a fear of technology but it is not.
Banning phones from lessons doesn’t mean ____2____ (rob) children of experience with modern technology. They get plenty of that outside school; gaps can be filled up. Tech-enthusiasts like to point to a long history of ____3____ (misplace) doubt about technology and its impact on education. Their favorite example is Plato, who complained that writing, ____4____ functions cover storing facts and arguments on paper, would weaken pupils’ ability to remember them. Plato was wrong, but his mistake two thousand years ago does not mean that today’s worries are misguided.
These tech-enthusiasts do not always know ____5____ is in the best interests of the students. Actually, banning smartphones from classrooms improves their academic performance. A recent study, following 17,000 higher-education students in India for three years, concluded that requiring phones ____6____ (leave) outside classrooms led to a measurable improvement in grades.
And the benefits of restricting smartphone use may go ____7____ better exam results. Another finding in the Indian study was that, after a while, the bans became popular with students. That fits with tales from young people, suggesting that the problem ____8____ lie in collective action. If most students are socializing on phones, anyone who tries to focus on lessons instead loses some networking opportunities. But if schools completely ban smartphone use, ____9____, will spend time socializing this way. Students will then spend more time interacting with friends in the real world. So, any school that has not restricted smartphones ____10____ (advise) to ban them during classes. In the long run, students may express gratitude for the ban.
Section B

Does Group Chat Make You Feel Bad?
I’m in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notices and messages constantly stream in. While the meeting is important, I’m distracted and eager to pick up the phone. Is it a new job announcement from a friend? Has something terrible happened? My anxiety is ____11____ as new messages mount, and I’m praying this meeting ends sooner.
This is a typical emotional change of being a modern group chat member, and I’m not alone. Starting as a new ____12____ for long-distance connection with multiple friends, group chats have become the common way we stay in touch. According to a recent research project, an average adult in Britain is part of 83 group chats — a(n) ____13____ situation highlighting how over connected people are. But why exactly do they cause such negative emotions?
“When I see tons of messages coming through, I get stressed that I may lose track of ____14____ if I don’t check them from time to time. Or I worry I’ve said something wrong,” says one interviewee, “Not joining in a group chat may in some way ____15____ our pressure, because then you’ll get loads to catch up on.”
There’s a lack of real connection too. “Group chats can make us feel surrounded, yet still somehow on the outside,” says Abby Rawlinson, a psychologist, “If you know everyone’s chatting and you’re not part of the flow, it arouses the ache of ____16____ .”
However, the darker side of a group chat occurs when things go from lighthearted jokes to ____17____ harmless comments causing the wildfire of negativity. “FOMO [fear of missing out] in group chats is real,” says another interviewee, “If you’re added to a smaller group chat without a certain friend, that implies the friend has been ____18____ for a certain reason. No one in the new chat group intends to hurt others, but somehow, gossip about that friend later appears, indicating that leaving group chats equals the ____19____ of being talked about behind your back.”
“The emotional politics of a group chat are the dynamics that shape how seen, ____20____ or valued we feel,” says Rawlinson, “Over time, these patterns start to mirror real-life social system and cause misunderstanding.”
II.Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
A new study confirms that technologies installed to remove Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water are highly effective at removing other harmful pollutants, such as trihalomethanes (三卤甲烷) and haloacetic acids (卤乙酸).The finding ____21____ the argument for investing in these advanced water treatment systems.
PFAS are a class of thousands of ____22____ compounds that do not easily break down in the environment. They are linked to a range of serious ____23____ problems, including various cancers and developmental delays. Their ____24____ presence is a major concern: a 2023 U.S. Geological Survey study estimated that up to 45% of tap water could contain at least one PFAS chemical. So, the systems’ removal of PFAS is of great significance. Additionally, new research from the Environmental Working Group ____25____ other benefits. By analyzing data from 19 water systems that installed PFAS treatment, the study compared ____26____ of disinfection byproducts before and after installation. The results showed a clear reduction: trihalomethanes decreased by an average of 42 percent; haloacetic acids by 50 percent. Long-term ____27____ to these byproducts is linked to certain cancers, and getting rid of them could prevent thousands of illnesses.
____28____ the administration set the first-ever national legal limits on six specific PFAS chemicals in drinking water, requiring that water suppliers meet the standard by 2029.
Just like in most cases, application of the rule faces difficulties. While experts confirm wider benefits of the treatment systems, they also note that real-world results can ____29____ due to factors like seasonal differences and diverse sources of pollution.
That’s only a minor problem; some major ones await our resolution. There were ____30____ from water suppliers about the huge expected costs of installing these facilities. Afterwards, the Environmental Protection Agency announced in May 2024 that it would ____31____ the rule — set limits to four of the six PFAS and extend the deadline by two years. This ____32____ has created uncertainty in regulation and slowed down action. Besides, a study showed a great ____33____ in adoption — only 7% of the systems are equipped with advanced filtration (过滤) function and they serve fewer than 500 people; in contrast, the rest serve over 100,000 people in rural or ____34____ communities — areas without sufficient financial assistance.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
My dad is a crossword-lover. When I was a little girl, Dad would read his crossword puzzles to me from a magazine. I can still remember how he turned his pencil excitedly as he discovered a new phrase. If my attention weakened, he would say, “Feeling sleepy? Never mind, I’ll keep reading. Some of the words may crawl into your mind.” Bit by bit, Dad introduced me to the power of words and guided my life’s calling, a purpose I never questioned or bothered to pursue.
Years passing, I grew into a professional writer. I found that he never asked me to suggest a word or help him with a puzzle when I was working. For him, my words were precious; each held value. But it did not matter much to me how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved word-craft and making up stories that brought ideas to life.
Recently when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece of essay that they chose to publish online rather than in print, I was kind of hurt! But I comforted myself by looking at the bright side — so many people read the piece and shared joyful emotions and praise on social media. Although some worldly-wise friends told me that I was paid peanuts, I myself felt well rewarded.
While I was content, a certain anxiety would secretly emerge: would the thought of earnings cheapen the dignity of my work? Dad’s solution was: “Why not both? Money isn’t everything, but isn’t it good to have enough to help yourself and those close to you? And for your talents and efforts to be valued?” Dad believed not only that more wealth did not mean greater happiness, but also that no effort should be undervalued.
Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Dad’s pencil: its purpose may be to solve a crossword puzzle, but it was also there for anyone writing down a life-changing number in a lottery ticket (彩票). So couldn’t my words help complete my life purpose and earn a better living too? Now I take up assignments — some that pay well, some that don’t — and they both fill me with joy.
36. Dad didn’t turn to the author to solve puzzles probably because he________.
A. didn’t know the fun of sharing games B. failed to see her willingness to help
C. didn’t want to interrupt her literary creation D. trusted his own ability to solve puzzles
37. “I was paid peanuts” in paragraph 3 indicates that________.
A. my writing deserved a better pay B. I got some nuts from my writing
C my writing ability was overrated D. I earned more than I should have
38. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A. Dad uses a pencil to balance his life wisely.
B. Her life purpose is realized through writing.
C. She sees both her words’ material and spiritual value.
D. Multiple roles of a pencil may help change one’s life.
39. What can we learn about Dad and the author?
A. Dad developed her attention by reading.
B. Dad advised her to be a professional writer.
C. Dad improved her ability to solve word puzzles.
D. Dad helped shape her view on writing for a living.

Pickleball is now one of the fastest-growing sports, and it’s tons of fun. It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net at the center. Each end of the court has a kitchen (the non-volley zone; volley is a hit of the ball before it touches the ground). Follow these simple rules and I bet you’ll be out playing doubles pickleball in no time.
#2:the ball must bounce once on each side before either team can volley
Before any player can hit a shot out of the air, the ball must bounce once on each side. So, if your partner is serving and you start up at the kitchen, you’re in a dangerous position, because the returning team can hit a shot right at you. If you react with a volley, it’s considered a fault and you’ll lose the point because you don’t let the ball bounce first on your side. (*A point is a unit of scoring that can only be won by the serving team.)
#3:each point continues until a fault
After the serve, play continues until a rally is won either by someone hitting a winning shot or a fault is committed. A fault ends the rally. In pickleball, there are some basic fault types:
The ball lands in the kitchen.
The ball lands out of bounds(behind the baseline or outside the sideline)
The ball hits the net and falls on your side.
The ball bounces twice on one side before the player can return it.
(To Be Continued)
40. When your partner is serving, you are not advised to start at the kitchen because ________.
A. your opponent is likely to gain a point B. the ball won’t bounce on the other side
C. your partner is likely to be hit D. you probably won’t gain a point
41. According to #3,which pictures show faults?
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ②④ D. ③④
42. Where may you find this article?
A. In a journal on sports science.
B. From a profile of the sports’ inventor.
C. At the “How-To” section of a sports website.
D. On an official document of sports rule clarification.

Even if you don’t worry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy the human race, you might fear its huge appetite for electricity will damage the environment. Asking an AI chatbot a question is equivalent to using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned internet search. As the AI boom took off, you may think that emissions(排放)from tech giants evidently rise. With huge investments in new data centers planned, more rises seem inevitable. But the worry is on shaky ground.
In absolute terms, AI may be less energy-hungry than assumed. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that electricity consumption by data centers could more than double in five years. Even if energy usage increases sharply, the basic is still low. Data centers currently account for only about 1.5% of global electricity consumption — and the vast majority of that is due to streaming, social media and online shopping, not AI.
Handled in a smart way, some of AI’s electricity use will help with greening the economy. AI is highly capable of identifying complex patterns and improving systems, which can help reduce emissions. It is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical networks with real-time balance of supply and demand. Besides, it has assisted in reducing petrol consumption in shipping through adjusting routes and speeds to the fittest, and spotting leaks of methane (a greenhouse gas) by cooperating with satellites and ground sensors.
The task for policymakers and industry bosses is to maximize AI’s advantages in saving energy, thus minimizing its climate impacts. The most elegant solution would be for governments to set a proper price on carbon. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, it would be more realistic to focus on other measures.
The first is greater openness. From August 2026, the EU will require some AI developers to report their energy use in detail, which can be copied elsewhere. A second is to rethink how data centers operate. The IEA notes that arranging to shift volume of work among data centers at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy networks, making them better matched to renewable power. Third, tech firms should live up to their environmental promises. Many now rely heavily on buying renewable-energy credits, a problematic way of balancing their emissions. A better one is to use their influence to promote the decarbonization of the energy networks by pushing for planning reform and supporting alternatives like nuclear power. Doubling down on these would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero.
43. The reason why the author says “the worry is on shaky ground” is that________.
A. tech companies have already achieved their carbon goals
B. future data centers will be powered by renewable energy
C. the current energy use by AI is small within global context
D. AI’s environmental benefits can make up for its energy cost
44. We can learn from paragraph 3 that________.
A. energy used by AI would otherwise realize a green economy
B. energy saving in shipping is partly due to AI-improved routes
C. AI’s real-time management has raised electricity consumption
D. methane leak detection done by AI can be sensed by satellites
45 Which of the following is recommended to handle AI’s climate impacts?
A. Setting a global carbon price for tech industries.
B. Scheduling data centers’ workloads dynamically.
C. That tech firms balance emissions through credit exchange.
D. That AI developers stay open to others’ reporting approaches
46. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Technology’s Impact on Climate Change B. Government Regulations on AI and Energy
C. AI’s Energy Demand and Tech Innovation D. AI’s Energy Consumption and Conservation

How Could Louvre(卢浮宫)Robbery Have Happened?
In the morning on October the 19th 2025, after thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in broad daylight,making off with 8 pieces of treasures, an embarrassed nation is asking itself a question: How could France let this happen? ____47____ Problems related to funds have actually held back the state-owned museum’s ability to manage massive crowds and ultimately secure some of the world’s most valuable collections of art.
The fact that the break-in occurred at the Louvre Palace,a symbol of France’s cultural might, and encountered little resistance, has French officials questioning not just the Louvre’s defenselessness, but that of cultural sites across the country.Several ministers arranged for a crisis meeting to examine the extent of the security breakdown.Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin expressed, “One thing is certain:it’s that we have failed”. ____48____
The museum staff are placing the blame on years of staffing cuts.The continuous layoffs have left the Louvre with tough choices over where to position a limited number of security guards and cameras.They guard more than 700,000 square feet of exhibition space that contains masterpieces ranging from the Mona Lisa to many ancient statues from Egypt. ____49____ “We were shouting from the rooftops,“Elise Muller,a Louvre security guard and union official said,”We can now see how little we were listened to.”In June,museum staff even mounted a protest over conditions at the museum,saying the crowds were adding stress to the security team in charge of monitoring its collection.
____50____ President Macron intends to construct a new entrance and take pressure off the symbolic glass structure where visitors currently enter the museum and fast-track visits to the Mona Lisathe Louvre’s main attraction. But critics complain Macron’s plan won’t be finished until 2031 at the earliest.Besides,finding public funds for any repair of the Louvre is going to be a challenge.The longer France struggles to walk out of the financial collapse,the more it chances losing priceless works in robbery that French officials say are increasingly well-organized.
A. The staff have given up making efforts to reverse such a serious situation.
B. In his opinionthe theft succeeded in giving France an unacceptable image.
C. The answer points to its public finances already under great constant stress.
D. Dig into the question,and you’ll uncover the answer hidden behind its works of art.
E. Due to such overload,museum staff repeatedly gave authorities warnings about security threats.
F. An ambitious plan to transform the museum has thus taken shape and is under heated discussion.

Mercury (汞)Threat in Ocean
A newly-published study, led by researchers from Peking University with experts from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, has found that ocean, with its continental shelf holding the largest amount of mercury, is now facing a rapidly increasing possibility of mercury release.
According to the study, continental shelves are disturbed by human activities. Trawling, during which fishermen pull wide nets behind their ships for fish, is one to blame. When the fishing boats with large nets drag through the seabed, they boost the release rate of mercury buried for decades or centuries. The research also uncovered the similar negative impact of dredging, where people remove mud and unwanted materials from the shelf with special machines to deepen it or look for something. The above activities disturb over 5,000 tons of mercury annually, speeding up its release.
Meanwhile, climate change is worsening the situation. The researchers have concluded from their observation that the increasing quantity of mercury release in recent decades from ocean is related to global warming, a tendency with various side effects. They explained that rising temperatures put the decomposition of organic matter in continental shelves on a faster track, promoting the amount of mercury release. Another study on waters, continental shelf being a part, has shown that for every 10℃ increase in temperature, the breakdown rate of sediments (沉积物) almost doubles.
Therefore, it is suggested that policies be made on banning or at least reducing inappropriate ocean resource development based on scientific assessment and international cooperation. And a clear goal for a slower global warming pace, supported by reliable scientific research, should be set and then translated into an actionable strategy and achieved worldwide. If these measures are adopted, this last line of mercury defense will probably be safeguarded.
