DAfter about a week.our school's art festival began.I decided to enter it.The first person I thought of to join me was Jenny,although I wasn't sure if she would want to.But while I was asking other people to join me,she said she would join as well.We decided to sing the song See You Again at the festival because I would leave for UK after I finished the performance.We prepared for it for a long time 5Finally,the day of the festival arrived.As I walked into class,people started clapping for me.Someone had written "Sally,Come On!"on the blackboard.My classmates wrote cards for me.After I completed my performance,everyone cheered for me. 6It was a really unforgettable and touching afteroon.I want to thank Jenny, who didn't give up on me when I felt down.I want to thank my friends for helping me, and I really want to thank all of my classmates who were with me in my two middle school years as well. 61.What's the structure of the passage?

Moreover,the "curated perfection"of online profiles often fuels anxiety:45%of teens surveyed admitted feeling inadequate after companng their lives to others'posts 3The key,experts argue,is balance.Some schools have started"digital detox" workshops.teaching teens to set screen-time limits and prioritize face-to-face interactions.For example,a high school in Oregon launched a "No Phone Lunch" policy,which led to a 30%increase in students reporting"close.in-person friendships" after one semester.As one teen participant noted:"I used to scroll through posts while eating,but now I actually talk to my tablemates-and it's way more fun." 64.What does the 2024 Pew Research Center study mainly show?

C It made teens reduce their screen time to 7 hours daily. D.It was widely copied by other high schools in the U.S. 0 Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century.with its impact spreading across every comer of the planet-especially in our oceans.It's estimated that over 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year,forming massive garbage patches that threaten marine life and disrupt entire ecosystems. Marine animals,from tiny plankton to giant whales,are the primary victims of this crisis.Sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish,their natural prey, leading to fatal digestive blockages.Seabirds get entangled in plastic nets and six-pack rings.which can break their wings or necks.Even microscopic plastic particles,known as microplastics,have been found in the bodies of fish and shellfish, eventually making their way into the human food chain through seafood consumption. The good news is that individuals,governments,and businesses are taking action to address the problem.Many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags,encouraging the use of reusable altematives such as cloth bags and metal straws.Environmental organizations are organizing beach cleanups and raising public awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste. Meanwhile,scientists are developing innovative solutions.including biodegradable plastics made from plant materials and technologies to remove existing plastic from the oceans. However,solving plastic pollution requires global cooperation and long-ter commitment.t's not enough to just ban certain products:we need to rethink our entire approach to consumption and waste management.By making small changes in our daily lives-like bringing our own water bottles and recycling properly-each of us can contribute to protecting the oceans and the countless species that call them home. 68.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The history of plastic invention and its widespread use. B.The severe effects of plastic pollution on oceans and solutions to it. C.How microplastics enter the human body through food. D.Why single-use plastics are more harmful than reusable ones. 69.Which of the following is NOT p harm caused by ocean plastic pollution? A.Marine animals mistaking plastic for food. B.Disruption of marine ecosystems. C.Increase in the number of plankton in the ocean. D.Plastic particles appearing in seafood. 70.What action have many countries taken to fight plastic pollution? A.They have stopped producing all types of plastic products B.They have banned single-use plastics and promoted reusable items. C.They have sent scientists to clean up the garbage patches. D They have fined businesses that use plastic packaging. 71.What does the author emphasize as necessary for solving plastic pollution? A.Developing more advanced fishing technologies. B.Reducing the consumption of seafood globally. C.Global teamwork and long-term dedication. D.Educating children about environmental protection in schools. D Being a relatively new technology,VR technology is clearly just beginning to take off.There are companies producing their own VR headsets.but they are still not as big as other products that are meant to entertain.Apart from the limited choices, one more thing that is worth noting about the current state of VR is the fact that content is limited,as well as applications.Most of the products available on the market today are aimed at gamers and mostly special for high-end buyers because of -its expensive price. Despite being full of potential.however.there are also some challenges that should be dealt with in order to ensure the success of VR.Among others,one of the most significant would be the need for powerful devices that would complement the headsets.For Oculus Rift.for instance,a powerful video card is needed for a computer.something you might not have at home.making the VR technologv inapplicable In addition.there are also challenges when it comes to beauty.Today's VR headsets look almost entirely the same-they are huge and heavy and they look silly. Producers must find a way in order to make the design more beautiful. Producers will also be challenged to make VR headsets more affordable so that more people will be able to purchase them.Most of the models currently available are just too expensive for average buyers. Lastly.and perhaps most importantly,the challenge is to find more applications. It is currently being centered on game paste applications.Producers are challenged to come up with creative ways in order to increase the usefulness of such a promising device. In sum while it is undeniable that VR is big in today's time,there's a lot of room for improvement.There are limited choices when it comes to VR products available on the market,and for many,it is still a bit expensive.Others lack knowledge on how it works.which results in hesitation.There are also some problems that have yet to be solved and more opportunities to be uncovered.It would be safe to say that it is new, still in its infancy,but hopefully it is getting to the top. 72.What is needed for your computer when you use Oculus Rift? A.A useful videotape. B.A powerful video card C.A powerful video camera. D.A usefirl video phone. 73.What is the biggest hallenge of VR? A.To lower its price. B.To simplify its headset. C.To widen its application. D.To beautify its appearance What is the author's attitude towards the future of VR? A.Worried.B.Concerned. C.Confident D.Indifferent. 75.What might be the best title for the passage? A The Challenges of VR B.The Development of VR C.The Popularity of VR D.The Importance of VR 第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 In the past few years,online learning bas become a significant part of the university and college experience.But are all online courses created equal?

You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group,or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts A.But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines. B Your motivation should be your main concern. C.Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? 10 L Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.
