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 Directions:Afier reading the passage below,fill in each blank with aproper word chosenfrom the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need. A.fuel B.included C intensified D.invisibility E.isolated F.means G.practically H risk I.seemingly J striking K.updates 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 to17 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_2L_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.Their24presence 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 Group25 other benefits.By analyzing data from 19 water systems that installed PFAS treatment,the study compared 26of 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-term27 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 can29 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 great33 in adoption-only 7%of the systems are equipped with advanced filtration()function and they serve fewer than 500 people;in contrast,the rest serve over 100,000 people in rural or34 communities-areas without sufficient financial assistance. The central question now is one of35Technology exists and offers proven benefits,but do we have the resolve to enact strong policies and ensure financial support? 21.A.contradicts B.involves C.strengthens D.challenges 22.A.long-lasting B.fast-acting C.easily-degraded D.man-made 23.A.security B.health C.environment D.growth 24.A.permanent B.restricted C.temporary D.widespread 25.A.guaranteed B.attained C.revealed D.maximized 26.A.sources B.functions C.categories D.concentrations 27.A.resistance B.solution C.addiction D.exposure 28.A.In response B.By contrast C.After all D.For example 29.A.solidify B.vary C.worsen D.persist 30.A.complaints B.proposals C.comments D.welcomes 31.A.enforce B.revise C.abandon D.tighten 32.A.association B.hesitation C.move D.mess 33.A.conflict B.divide C.unity D.likelihood 34.A.high-population B.large-scale C.under-resourced D.over-developed 35.A.technology B.finance C.efficiency D.commitment 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 havejust 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 bow 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().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 withjoy. 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. (B) 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. Left Service Area Centerline Kitchen Right Service Area Sideline #I:each rally(往返拍击)begins with a serve The game starts with a serve.In the doubles,the player on the right side of their court always starts the serve.You serve cross court to your opponent. The serving player can either hit the ball after it bounces or out of the air and the serve must avoid landing in the kitchen or on its line.When hitting a volley serve,your 景 paddle(球拍)must move in an upward path. #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? ① ② 因 ⑧ ③ ④ 药 8 A.①② B.②③ C.②④ D.③④ 42.Where may you find this article? A.In ajoural 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. (C) Even if you don't worry that artificial intelligence(Al)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()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 Al's electricity use will help with greening the economy.Al 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 Al'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 Al 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 Al 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 Al 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 Al would otherwise realize a green economy B.energy saving in shipping is partly due to Al-improved routes C.AI's real-time management has raised clectricity consumption D.methane leak detection done by Al 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 Al 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 Al and Energy C.AI's Energy Demand and Tech Innovation D.AI's Energy Consumption and Conservation Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need. 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. 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. III.Summary writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. 51. Mercury ()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 10C increase in temperature,the breakdown rate of sediments()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.
