Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage. Chirk to Ellesmere & Llangollen Trip length: 16 hours return For a journey that takes in some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK, head to Chirk in Wales for a trip on the Llangollen Canal. This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks. Ely to Cambridge Trip length: Three to four days This East Anglian classic launches from the cathedral city of Ely, a few miles northeast of Cambridge. It’s 18 miles each way on the scenic rivers Ouse and Cam. The route passes through Wicken Fen wetland nature reserve, an ancient habitat of reedbeds and marshland that’s home to birds and butterflies. There are just four locks to tackle, which brings the strain for beginners. Falkirk to Edinburgh Trip length: Seven days This Scottish break kicks off with a ride on the famous Falkirk Wheel, a towering mechanical masterpiece that lifts you onto the Union Canal. From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities. Try watersports on Linlithgow Loch, before continuing across the 820ft-long Avon Aqueduct; kids will love that it snakes 85ft above the ground. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior Trip length: Seven to 14 days Starting at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, this 76-mile route passes Birmingham family attractions and Cadbury World, where you can pause for a chocolatey afternoon tea and new attractions unfolded for the brand’s 200th anniversary this year. 1. Which of the above route trips is the appropriate for beginners? A. Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen B. Ely to Cambridge C. Falkirk to Edinburgh D. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior 2. What is special about Falkirk to Edinburgh route? A. It offers the most beautiful scenery. B. It has toughest trip for children. C. It offers family interactive activities. D. It offers a chocolatey afternoon tea. 3. What do the four routes have in common? A. They all offer water sports for children. B. They all have plenty of stop-off points. C. They are all trips over waterways. D. They all provide new attractions for kids. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个观光的路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen部分中“This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks.(这条穿越迪伊山谷的短途路线非常适合初学者，沿途有很多停留点，可以选择避开封锁区)”可知，Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen适合初学者。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Falkirk to Edinburgh部分中“From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities.(从那里，驶入福尔柯克隧道，在苏格兰玛丽女王的出生地，被毁坏的林利斯戈宫停下来，这里提供互动的家庭活动)”可知，福尔柯克到爱丁堡的路线提供家庭互动活动。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There are few better ways to slow down and come together as a family than on a canal-boat break. Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage.(没有什么比在运河船上休息更好的方式来放慢脚步，和家人团聚了。水路为英国提供了一个非常不同的视角，它们安静的河道将这个国家一些最风景如画的风景以及最迷人的工业遗产带到了这里)”可知，这四条路线的共同点是都是水路旅行。故选C。 B Since the height of the pandemic, there has been a cultural shift in the way we talk about mental health. It’s as though the years of isolation and uncertainty helped us understand how vital our emotional needs were to our overall well-being. Now that we’re paying more attention to our inner lives, it’s also essential that we take action. Fortunately, there are a number of things that everyone can do to nourish their mental health and find moments of joy. Here are some of our favorite tips from the past year. 1. Try a proven way to sleep better. Experts say that getting enough sleep is one of the most important things we can do for our mental health. If you’re having trouble falling or staying asleep, studies have found that cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or C.B.T.-I., is as effective as using sleep medications in the short term — and more effective in the long term. C.B.T.-I. helps people address worries about sleep and find ways to ease. 2. Learn how to tell whether your anxiety is protective or problematic. It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time. In fact, having some anxiety can actually be useful. Experts say an internal alarm system can improve our performance, help us recognize danger and even encourage us to be more responsible. So we asked Dr. Petros Levounis, the president of the American Psychiatric Association: How much anxiety is too much? “If you start to notice that worry and fear are there constantly, that is a signal that you need some help,” he said. Other signs to look out for include restlessness, a sense of fear or bad outcomes, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and trouble concentrating. 3. Embrace gratitude. Gratitude is a positive emotion that can arise when you acknowledge that you have goodness in your life and that other people — or higher powers, if you believe in them — have helped you achieve that goodness. To really enjoy the benefits of gratitude, experts say, it’s important to express it whenever possible. That might include writing letters of thanks or listing the positive things in your life in a journal. Giving thanks to friends, romantic partners and even co-workers can also offer a relationship boost. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The pandemic's impact on our physical health. B. How to improve our mental health through various practices. C. The importance of therapies for mental health issues. D. The role of gratitude in professional settings. 5. What can be inferred about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia? A. It helps people relax and reduce sleep concerns. B. It can reduce the side effect of sleep medications. C. It is a temporary solution rather than long-term. D. It is less acknowledged than traditional remedies. 6. According to the passage, what is one way to determine if anxiety is problematic? A. If it occasionally helps you recognize danger and improve performance. B. If it encourages responsibility but brings unease. C. If it continuously causes tension along with physical symptoms like sweating. D. If it sometimes makes you restless but more productive. 7. How does the passage suggest one can benefit from gratitude? A. By receiving help from others. B. By avoiding letters and journals. C. By focusing on personal achievements. D. By recognizing and expressing thanks. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章强调疫情期间人们更关注心理健康，并提供了改善心理健康的方法：改善睡眠、识别焦虑、培养感恩。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Since the height of the pandemic, there has been a cultural shift in the way we talk about mental health. It’s as though the years of isolation and uncertainty helped us understand how vital our emotional needs were to our overall well-being.(自疫情高峰期以来，我们谈论心理健康的方式发生了文化上的转变。仿佛那些年的隔离与不确定性让我们更加明白，自身的情感需求对于整体的身心健康有多么重要。)”以及后文“Try a proven way to sleep better.( 试试一种已被证实有效的改善睡眠的方法。)”以及“Learn how to tell whether your anxiety is protective or problematic.( 学习如何辨别自己的焦虑是具有保护作用的还是存在问题的。)”以及“Embrace gratitude.(怀抱感恩之心。)”可知，文章开篇提到自疫情高峰以来，我们在谈论心理健康方面发生了文化转变，现在我们更关注内心生活，采取行动滋养心理健康、寻找快乐时刻很重要。接着文章给出了三个具体的建议，包括尝试一种已被证实能改善睡眠的方法、学会判断焦虑是保护性的还是有问题的、拥抱感恩等，这些都是关于如何通过各种实践来改善心理健康的。B选项“How to improve our mental health through various practices.(如何通过各种实践改善我们的心理健康。)”准确概括了文章主旨。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第1个建议中“C.B.T.-I. helps people address worries about sleep and find ways to ease.(认知行为疗法失眠症疗法帮助人们解决对睡眠的担忧并找到缓解的方法。)”可知，认知行为疗法失眠症疗法能够帮助人们放松并减少对睡眠的担忧。A选项“It helps people relax and reduce sleep concerns.(它帮助人们放松并减少对睡眠的担忧。)”符合文意。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2个建议中“‘If you start to notice that worry and fear are there constantly, that is a signal that you need some help,’ he said. Other signs to look out for include restlessness, a sense of fear or bad outcomes, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and trouble concentrating.(“如果你开始注意到担忧和恐惧一直存在，这是一个信号，表明你需要一些帮助，”他说。其他需要注意的迹象包括坐立不安、恐惧感或预感不好的结果、心率加快、出汗、颤抖和注意力不集中。)”可知，如果焦虑持续存在并伴有出汗等身体症状，就说明焦虑是有问题的。C选项“If it continuously causes tension along with physical symptoms like sweating.(如果它持续引起紧张，并伴有出汗等身体症状。)”符合文意。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“To really enjoy the benefits of gratitude, experts say, it’s important to express it whenever possible. That might include writing letters of thanks or listing the positive things in your life in a journal. Giving thanks to friends, romantic partners and even co-workers can also offer a relationship boost.(专家表示，要真正享受感恩的好处，重要的是尽可能表达感恩。这可能包括写感谢信或在日记中列出生活中的积极事情。向朋友、浪漫伴侣甚至同事表达感谢也能增进关系。)”可知，要真正享受感恩的好处，重要的是尽可能表达感恩；同时向朋友、浪漫伴侣甚至同事表达感谢也能增进关系，因此通过认识并表达感谢可以从感恩中受益。故选D项。 C Professor Shadreck Chirikure challenges expectations: an archaeologist of ancient civilisations who is fixed on the future; an expert in highly-technical sciences, who likes to mend random things, and a charmingly humourous story-teller, whose colleagues claim he has the skills of a stand-up comedian. Professor Chirikure’s online lectures are really funny and he talks quickly with the urgency of an alternative comedian. But his message is serious. He insists that the interview must not just be about his individual history, which he clearly finds boring. Professor Chirikure has a very clear message about the importance of archaeological science and what it can tell us about the past—for the benefit of the future. He moves rapidly over his story, and on to what he really wants to talk about. The young Shadreck was born in dry southern Zimbabwe, just 60km from the iconic Great Zimbabwe site, which was to become so defining in his career. He says, “Archaeology had so much in terms of opportunities.” Understanding the importance and strengths of past great civilisations, he believes, points to a future for modern Africa. Professor Chirikure insists, “There were great knowledge and skills achieved over time. Half the time, we ignore them. But for me this is exploring. At Great Zimbabwe, our research shows, they were innovating, they had important knowledge. We need to use that knowledge today.” It is what makes Archaeology a critical subject, he insists, a bridge from the past to the present. “People see archaeology as a backwards-looking discipline. But we can look backwards to the future – and use the knowledge of generations that has been lost.” With a smile, he says seriously, “The past is gone, civilisations have changed, the world’s population has crossed eight billion and we need to apply the knowledge we have forgotten.” 8. What qualities make Professor Shadreck Chirikure unique? A. An archaeologist focused on the future, tech expert, and humorous storyteller. B. A traditional archaeologist who avoids modern technology and focuses on the past. C. A serious lecturer who is humorless and dislikes fixing things. D. A personal storyteller, uninterested in archaeological research. 9. What does Professor Chirikure find uninteresting in interviews? A. His online lecture style. B. His technical expertise. C. His comedic skills. D. His personal background. 10. According to the passage, what is one of Professor Chirikure’s key messages about archaeology? A. It focuses on preserving ancient items for future generations. B. It has lost its significance in the contemporary world. C. It connects the achievements of past civilisations to modern advancements. D. It should only be seen as a discipline studying old cultures. 11. What does the passage imply about the Great Zimbabwe site? A. Significant importance in his career due to urgent protection. B. Previously a site of innovation and significant knowledge. C. Mostly a site visited by tourists today without adequate conservation. D. Offering scarce archaeological opportunities compared to other sites. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了考古学家Shadreck Chirikure，他是一位关注未来、技术娴熟且富有幽默感的人物。他强调考古学的重要性，认为古代文明的知识对现代非洲的发展至关重要，旨在连接过去与未来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Professor Shadreck Chirikure challenges expectations: an archaeologist of ancient civilisations who is fixed on the future; an expert in highly - technical sciences, who likes to mend random things, and a charmingly humourous story - teller, whose colleagues claim he has the skills of a stand - up comedian. (Shadreck Chirikure教授挑战了人们的预期：他是一位研究古代文明的考古学家，却着眼于未来；他是一位高科技科学专家，喜欢修理各种东西，还是一位极具魅力的幽默故事讲述者，他的同事称他具备单口喜剧演员的技能。)”可知，Shadreck Chirikure教授独特之处在于他是一位着眼于未来的考古学家、科技专家以及幽默的故事讲述者。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He insists that the interview must not just be about his individual history, which he clearly finds boring. (他坚持认为采访不能只是关于他的个人经历，他显然觉得这很无聊。)”可知，Chirikure教授在采访中觉得无聊的是他的个人背景。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It is what makes Archaeology a critical subject, he insists, a bridge from the past to the present. “People see archaeology as a backwards-looking discipline. (他强调，正是这一点使得考古学成为一门至关重要的学科，它是一道连接过去与现在的桥梁。“人们往往认为考古学是一门只关注过去的研究领域。”)可知，Chirikure教授认为考古学是将过去文明的成就与现代进步联系起来的关键。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“At Great Zimbabwe, our research shows, they were innovating, they had important knowledge. We need to use that knowledge today.(我们的研究表明，在Great Zimbabwe，他们在创新，他们拥有重要的知识。我们今天需要利用这些知识。)”可知，Great Zimbabwe遗址曾经是一个有创新精神和重要知识的地方。故选B。 D When I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called “Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism. And following Sunshine’s explosion, numerous new bands like “Power Girls” and “Love-wings” starring average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This kind of grassroots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China’s competitive society, but for those well-educated kids, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them. 12. What does the underlined word “wither” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fade. B. Succeed. C. Tease. D. Please. 13. Why does the rise of online celebrities fascinate the youth? A. Because it promotes the youth’s self-confidence. B. Because they possess certain performance skills. C. Because they tend to ignore their academic studies. D. Because it presents a potential path to success. 14. What challenges might these so-called stars face? A. They might face increased academic pressure. B. Their future potential might be damaged. C. They might get tired of public attention. D. Their future employers might laugh at them. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Change does not happen over time. B. Being qualified ensures success. C. Trends can promote learning. D. Addiction affects a generation. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了网络明星现象在中国年轻人的影响。作者指出，普通年轻人通过网络自我推销以获得关注和自信，但这种方式带来的网络成瘾和自恋成瘾的行为，可能损害他们的未来发展和学习能力，令人担忧。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their ‘unattractive’ and ‘fat’ appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism.(这些青少年因其“长相不佳”和“身材肥胖”的外貌，以及糟糕的歌唱技巧而在全中国迅速声名狼藉。)”以及“But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism.(但他们并没有因为来自微博上 43 万粉丝的批评而变得……，反而似乎因这些批评而更加活跃起来。)”可知，这些青少年因这些批评而更加活跃起来，与前文构成转折关系即并没有因粉丝的批评而变得“消沉”。故划线词与选项A“Fade(逐渐消失、衰退)”意思相近。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self - confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars.(许多出身平凡、家境贫寒，空有远大梦想却毫无一技之长的中国青少年，纷纷将 “阳光女孩” 这类看似不太可能的人当作榜样，以此证明：只要有一点点自信，就能名声大噪、登上头条。看到这么多中国年轻女孩为了能从成千上万的潜力新星中脱颖而出，不惜在网络上哗众取宠，实在令人唏嘘。)”可知，网络名人的崛起让年轻人着迷是因为它提供了一条潜在的成功之路。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures.(此外，她们很可能会在网络上留下自己荒唐可笑、有时甚至是不光彩的行为记录。未来的雇主，甚至是伴侣，终究会看到这些照片和视频，而这些内容很可能会影响他们的人生前程。)”可知，这些所谓的明星面临的挑战是因为他们曾经在网上的记录，可能会导致他们的未来潜力会受到损害。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real - life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them.(好消息是，在今天的互联网时代，对于那些原本不合格的孩子来说，名利很容易获得，但坏消息是，他们对社交媒体的自恋成瘾会干扰他们学习知识和现实生活技能，一旦他们的网络粉丝忘记了他们，整整一代网络青年将完全没有其他选择)”可知，青少年对社交媒体的自恋成瘾会干扰他们学习知识和现实生活技能，一旦他们的网络粉丝忘记了他们，整整一代网络青年将完全没有其他选择，即作者在最后一段暗示了成瘾会影响一代人。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How can anyone feel bored in a world with social media, streaming movies, on-demand TV shows, and almost every book available for download? It sounds contradictory, but according to a study by Katy Y. Y. Tam and Michael Inzlicht in Communications Psychology, digital media actually increases our boredom. _____16_____ Researchers suggest that easy access to entertainment raises our standard for what we consider engaging. _____17_____ Engaging in less stimulating activities, such as reading a book or attending a class, feels even more boring compared to the digital age's heightened stimulation levels. Scrolling through TikTok, for example, breaks our attention and makes it hard to focus. Constantly switching between videos, dealing with notifications (通知), and responding to texts disrupts our ability to engage deeply with content. _____18_____ “Digital devices intensify boredom by disrupting attention,” the researchers explain. Tam and Inzlicht argue that digital media increases boredom by dividing our attention, raising desired engagement levels, reducing our sense of meaning, and serving as an ineffective boredom coping strategy. Supporting this, a report from Radboud University in the Netherlands found that phone usage often worsens feelings of boredom and fatigue. _____19_____ When we engage in these activities, we might not notice how much time we spend on them. When we scroll through content endlessly trying to escape boredom, it's important to reflect on how we feel afterward. Did the activity actually satisfy us, or did it just keep us busy until we felt bored again? Tam suggests that for more meaningful and less boring experiences with digital media, we should seek longer-form content for deeper immersion. However, due to shorter attention spans, this is more challenging than before. _____20_____ Like an immersive movie theater experience, fully engaging with online videos can provide greater satisfaction. A. This phenomenon is not limited to a specific age group. B. Sometimes, activities that don't fulfill us can still be very addictive. C. Knowing we can be distracted at any moment further breaks our focus. D. Access to instant information has changed how we view entertainment. E. Like addicts, we long for ever-increasing excitement to feel entertained. F. For a more enjoyable experience, focus on the content and minimize digital switching. G. Since 2010, reports of boredom have increased dramatically with the rise of digitization. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出数字媒体虽丰富，但研究表明其增加人的无聊感，因易得性提高期待，且易分心。文章建议关注长内容以获得更沉浸的体验。 【16题详解】 上文“but according to a study by Katy Y. Y. Tam and Michael Inzlicht in Communications Psychology, digital media actually increases our boredom.(但根据Katy Y. Y. Tam和Michael Inzlicht在《传播心理学》上发表的一项研究，数字媒体实际上增加了我们的无聊感)”指出数字媒体会增加无聊感这一研究结论。G选项“Since 2010, reports of boredom have increased dramatically with the rise of digitization.(自2010年以来，随着数字化程度的提高，关于无聊的报道急剧增加)”通过具体的时间和现象，进一步说明了随着数字化发展，无聊感增加的情况，与上文研究结论相呼应，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Researchers suggest that easy access to entertainment raises our standard for what we consider engaging.(研究人员认为，轻松获取娱乐内容提高了我们对什么是吸引人的事物的标准)”说明了轻松获取娱乐内容对我们衡量吸引人的事物的标准有影响。E选项“Like addicts, we long for ever-increasing excitement to feel entertained.(就像成瘾者一样，我们渴望不断增加的刺激来获得娱乐)”进一步解释了因为标准提高，所以我们像成瘾者一样渴望更多刺激来获得娱乐，与上文紧密相连，符合题意。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“Scrolling through TikTok, for example, breaks our attention and makes it hard to focus. Constantly switching between videos, dealing with notifications (通知), and responding to texts disrupts our ability to engage deeply with content.(例如，刷抖音会分散我们的注意力，使我们难以集中注意力。在视频之间不断切换、处理通知和回复短信会干扰我们深入参与内容的能力)”描述了刷抖音等行为会分散注意力、干扰深入参与内容的能力。C选项“Knowing we can be distracted at any moment further breaks our focus.(知道我们随时可能被分散注意力，这会进一步破坏我们的注意力)”进一步说明了这种随时可能被分散注意力的情况对注意力的进一步破坏，与上文内容相符，符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“When we engage in these activities, we might not notice how much time we spend on them. When we scroll through content endlessly trying to escape boredom, it's important to reflect on how we feel afterward. Did the activity actually satisfy us, or did it just keep us busy until we felt bored again?(当我们参与这些活动时，我们可能没有注意到我们花了多少时间在上面。当我们无休止地浏览内容以试图摆脱无聊时，重要的是要反思我们之后的感受。这个活动真的让我们满意了吗，还是它只是让我们忙个不停，直到我们再次感到无聊？)”说明有些活动可能并不真正满足我们，但我们却花费了很多时间在上面。B选项“Sometimes, activities that don't fulfill us can still be very addictive.(有时候，那些不能让我们满足的活动仍然会让人上瘾)”引出了下文关于一些不满足我们的活动却让人上瘾的内容，符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“Tam suggests that for more meaningful and less boring experiences with digital media, we should seek longer - form content for deeper immersion. However, due to shorter attention spans, this is more challenging than before.(Tam建议，为了获得更有意义、更不无聊的数字媒体体验，我们应该寻求更长时间的内容以进行更深入的沉浸。然而，由于注意力持续时间缩短，这比以前更具挑战性)”提出了获得更有意义体验的建议以及面临的挑战。F选项“For a more enjoyable experience, focus on the content and minimize digital switching.(为了获得更愉快的体验，专注于内容并尽量减少数字切换)”针对上文的问题给出了具体的做法，即专注于内容、减少数字切换，符合题意。故选F。 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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “What are you doing?” my fifth-grade teacher inquired as I was ready to leave my desk. “I’m ____21____ my schoolbag.

I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for.“This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (失望的叹息),which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced when they were busy preparing for the vacation. My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite. I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelt of trees. But that didn't matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. I realized my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to connect myself with the outside world. I went from an unhappy state to anger. However, that couldn’t make my phone receive the signal. I went to bed angrily that first night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. The next morning, without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. My dad and I hiked through the forest, enjoying nature. We went fishing and swimming. I listened to stories of Dad's life. When the vacation came to an end, I realized I hadn't thought of my phone once. It dawned on me that I needed to value the moments with nature and the important persons in life. With this lesson carried to this day, I regularly pack up the tent and drive until my phone shows words: “No service.” 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上高中之前收到了父母送的礼物——一部手机，从此便沉溺于网络世界。这一年的假期父亲决定去森林里野营，这让作者有点失望。最让作者难以接受的是，随着车子逐渐接近目的地，他爱不释手的手机没有了信号。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的父亲解释说他专门选了一个没有信号的野营地”可知，第一段可描写作者对于如此安排的反应，联系下文，还可以描写野营第一天的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，没有再像以往一样查看手机，身边的大自然洗涤了我的思想”可知，第二段可描写作者逐渐适应了没有手机的感觉，与大自然亲密接触，以及这次野营带给作者的变化。 2.续写线索：不适应——郁闷——第一天结束——逐渐适应——感受大自然——变化和感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/find out/it dawns on sb. that ②.联系/交流：connect with/communicate with ③.考虑/想到：think of/think about/alight on 情绪类 ①.生气：be angry with/be mad at ②.惬意：feel comfortable/do everything comfortably 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage. Chirk to Ellesmere & Llangollen Trip length: 16 hours return For a journey that takes in some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK, head to Chirk in Wales for a trip on the Llangollen Canal. This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks. Ely to Cambridge Trip length: Three to four days This East Anglian classic launches from the cathedral city of Ely, a few miles northeast of Cambridge. It’s 18 miles each way on the scenic rivers Ouse and Cam. The route passes through Wicken Fen wetland nature reserve, an ancient habitat of reedbeds and marshland that’s home to birds and butterflies. There are just four locks to tackle, which brings the strain for beginners. Falkirk to Edinburgh Trip length: Seven days This Scottish break kicks off with a ride on the famous Falkirk Wheel, a towering mechanical masterpiece that lifts you onto the Union Canal. From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities. Try watersports on Linlithgow Loch, before continuing across the 820ft-long Avon Aqueduct; kids will love that it snakes 85ft above the ground. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior Trip length: Seven to 14 days Starting at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, this 76-mile route passes Birmingham family attractions and Cadbury World, where you can pause for a chocolatey afternoon tea and new attractions unfolded for the brand’s 200th anniversary this year. 1. Which of the above route trips is the appropriate for beginners? A. Chirk to Ellesmere Llangollen B. Ely to Cambridge C. Falkirk to Edinburgh D. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior 2. What is special about Falkirk to Edinburgh route? A. It offers the most beautiful scenery. B. It has toughest trip for children. C. It offers family interactive activities. D. It offers a chocolatey afternoon tea. 3. What do the four routes have in common? A. They all offer water sports for children. B. They all have plenty of stop-off points. C. They are all trips over waterways. D. They all provide new attractions for kids. B Since the height of the pandemic, there has been a cultural shift in the way we talk about mental health. It’s as though the years of isolation and uncertainty helped us understand how vital our emotional needs were to our overall well-being. Now that we’re paying more attention to our inner lives, it’s also essential that we take action. Fortunately, there are a number of things that everyone can do to nourish their mental health and find moments of joy. Here are some of our favorite tips from the past year. 1. Try a proven way to sleep better. Experts say that getting enough sleep is one of the most important things we can do for our mental health. If you’re having trouble falling or staying asleep, studies have found that cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or C.B.T.-I., is as effective as using sleep medications in the short term — and more effective in the long term. C.B.T.-I. helps people address worries about sleep and find ways to ease. 2. Learn how to tell whether your anxiety is protective or problematic. It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time. In fact, having some anxiety can actually be useful. Experts say an internal alarm system can improve our performance, help us recognize danger and even encourage us to be more responsible. So we asked Dr. Petros Levounis, the president of the American Psychiatric Association: How much anxiety is too much? “If you start to notice that worry and fear are there constantly, that is a signal that you need some help,” he said. Other signs to look out for include restlessness, a sense of fear or bad outcomes, increased heart rate, sweating, trembling and trouble concentrating. 3. Embrace gratitude. Gratitude is a positive emotion that can arise when you acknowledge that you have goodness in your life and that other people — or higher powers, if you believe in them — have helped you achieve that goodness. To really enjoy the benefits of gratitude, experts say, it’s important to express it whenever possible. That might include writing letters of thanks or listing the positive things in your life in a journal. Giving thanks to friends, romantic partners and even co-workers can also offer a relationship boost. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The pandemic's impact on our physical health. B. How to improve our mental health through various practices. C. The importance of therapies for mental health issues. D. The role of gratitude in professional settings. 5. What can be inferred about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia? A. It helps people relax and reduce sleep concerns. B. It can reduce the side effect of sleep medications. C. It is a temporary solution rather than long-term. D. It is less acknowledged than traditional remedies. 6. According to the passage, what is one way to determine if anxiety is problematic? A. If it occasionally helps you recognize danger and improve performance. B. If it encourages responsibility but brings unease. C. If it continuously causes tension along with physical symptoms like sweating. D. If it sometimes makes you restless but more productive. 7. How does the passage suggest one can benefit from gratitude? A. By receiving help from others. B. By avoiding letters and journals. C. By focusing on personal achievements. D. By recognizing and expressing thanks. C Professor Shadreck Chirikure challenges expectations: an archaeologist of ancient civilisations who is fixed on the future; an expert in highly-technical sciences, who likes to mend random things, and a charmingly humourous story-teller, whose colleagues claim he has the skills of a stand-up comedian. Professor Chirikure’s online lectures are really funny and he talks quickly with the urgency of an alternative comedian. But his message is serious. He insists that the interview must not just be about his individual history, which he clearly finds boring. Professor Chirikure has a very clear message about the importance of archaeological science and what it can tell us about the past—for the benefit of the future. He moves rapidly over his story, and on to what he really wants to talk about. The young Shadreck was born in dry southern Zimbabwe, just 60km from the iconic Great Zimbabwe site, which was to become so defining in his career. He says, “Archaeology had so much in terms of opportunities.” Understanding the importance and strengths of past great civilisations, he believes, points to a future for modern Africa. Professor Chirikure insists, “There were great knowledge and skills achieved over time. Half the time, we ignore them. But for me this is exploring. At Great Zimbabwe, our research shows, they were innovating, they had important knowledge. We need to use that knowledge today.” It is what makes Archaeology a critical subject, he insists, a bridge from the past to the present. “People see archaeology as a backwards-looking discipline. But we can look backwards to the future – and use the knowledge of generations that has been lost.” With a smile, he says seriously, “The past is gone, civilisations have changed, the world’s population has crossed eight billion and we need to apply the knowledge we have forgotten.” 8.

D When I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called “Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism. And following Sunshine’s explosion, numerous new bands like “Power Girls” and “Love-wings” starring average-looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This kind of grassroots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China’s competitive society, but for those well-educated kids, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them. 12. What does the underlined word “wither” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fade. B. Succeed. C. Tease. D. Please. 13. Why does the rise of online celebrities fascinate the youth? A. Because it promotes the youth’s self-confidence. B. Because they possess certain performance skills. C. Because they tend to ignore their academic studies. D. Because it presents a potential path to success. 14. What challenges might these so-called stars face? A. They might face increased academic pressure. B. Their future potential might be damaged. C. They might get tired of public attention. D. Their future employers might laugh at them. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Change does not happen over time. B. Being qualified ensures success. C. Trends can promote learning. D. Addiction affects a generation. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How can anyone feel bored in a world with social media, streaming movies, on-demand TV shows, and almost every book available for download? It sounds contradictory, but according to a study by Katy Y. Y. Tam and Michael Inzlicht in Communications Psychology, digital media actually increases our boredom. _____16_____ Researchers suggest that easy access to entertainment raises our standard for what we consider engaging. _____17_____ Engaging in less stimulating activities, such as reading a book or attending a class, feels even more boring compared to the digital age's heightened stimulation levels. Scrolling through TikTok, for example, breaks our attention and makes it hard to focus. Constantly switching between videos, dealing with notifications (通知), and responding to texts disrupts our ability to engage deeply with content. _____18_____ “Digital devices intensify boredom by disrupting attention,” the researchers explain. Tam and Inzlicht argue that digital media increases boredom by dividing our attention, raising desired engagement levels, reducing our sense of meaning, and serving as an ineffective boredom coping strategy. Supporting this, a report from Radboud University in the Netherlands found that phone usage often worsens feelings of boredom and fatigue. _____19_____ When we engage in these activities, we might not notice how much time we spend on them. When we scroll through content endlessly trying to escape boredom, it's important to reflect on how we feel afterward. Did the activity actually satisfy us, or did it just keep us busy until we felt bored again? Tam suggests that for more meaningful and less boring experiences with digital media, we should seek longer-form content for deeper immersion. However, due to shorter attention spans, this is more challenging than before. _____20_____ Like an immersive movie theater experience, fully engaging with online videos can provide greater satisfaction. A. This phenomenon is not limited to a specific age group. B. Sometimes, activities that don't fulfill us can still be very addictive. C. Knowing we can be distracted at any moment further breaks our focus. D. Access to instant information has changed how we view entertainment. E. Like addicts, we long for ever-increasing excitement to feel entertained. F. For a more enjoyable experience, focus on the content and minimize digital switching. G. Since 2010, reports of boredom have increased dramatically with the rise of digitization. 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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “What are you doing?” my fifth-grade teacher inquired as I was ready to leave my desk. “I’m ____21____ my schoolbag.

I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for.“This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (失望的叹息),which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced when they were busy preparing for the vacation. My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite. I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelt of trees. But that didn't matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
