For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits the blank. Would You Pay $1,000 for a Family Photo? Kirsten Bethmann started photographing families in 2005. She was living in North Carolina, and found the era’s typical style to be pretty inspired, with families ____1____ (stand) awkwardly amid low, windswept sand hills. So, when she entered the field, she drew inspiration ____2____ her background in photojournalism and tried something more natural. She instructed families to play on the beach for most of their hour-long session, and then spend 10 minutes taking traditional, ___3___ (pose) photos. She even drafted contracts requiring clients to promise that they ___4___ (not style) in matching outfits. The first year, she had a dozen customers. Twenty years later, her services have become among ____5____(popular) in the field, which is why some people fly her out of the state, even out of the country, and spend $7,000 for a day-long shoot. ____6____ we are living in an age when almost anyone can produce high-quality images with merely a smartphone, people like Bethmann find it easier than ever to secure work. The number of working professional photographers ____7____ (rise) by roughly 15 percent over the past decade and is expected to keep increasing. Family photography is one of the field’s most popular specialties. Rates as steep as Bethmann’s are uncommon. Still, nearly 40 percent of customers dish out more than $1,000 for a shoot. Putting so much money toward professional photos might feel like a luxury. But family pictures have long been highly treasured objects, ____8____ value lies less in their material form than in the memories they preserve. The deep-seated urge ____9____ (hold) on to a memory is almost instinctive, as seen in our ancestors’ cave drawings or storytelling around a fire. Today, that age-old instinct of preservation is facing new pressures from social media for people to measure up to ____10____ they are exposed to online, fueling demand and transforming how and why families capture their memories: what the photos look like, what they cost, and, crucially, who they are for. 【答案】1. standing 2. from 3. posed 4. wouldn’t be styled 5. the most popular 6. Though##Although##While 7. has risen 8. whose 9. to hold 10. what 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了家庭摄影师Kirsten Bethmann的摄影风格、职业发展，以及当下家庭摄影行业的现状与价值。 【1题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她发现当时的典型风格相当富有创意，家庭在被风吹过的低矮沙丘中尴尬地站着。此处是“with+宾语+宾补”结构，families与stand是主谓关系，应用现在分词standing，作宾补。故填standing。 【2题详解】 考查介词。句意：所以，当她进入这个领域时，她从自己的新闻摄影背景中汲取灵感，把风格变得更自然。根据“drew inspiration __2__ her background”可知，此处是固定搭配draw inspiration from...，意为“从……中汲取灵感”，应用介词from。故填from。 【3题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她指导家庭在海滩上玩耍大部分时长，然后花10分钟拍摄传统摆拍的照片。此处修饰photos，pose与photos是动宾关系，应用过去分词posed，作定语，意为“摆拍的”。故填posed。 【4题详解】 考查动词时态语态。句意：她甚至起草合同，要求客户承诺他们不会穿统一的装束。根据promise that可知，从句动作发生在起草合同之后，属于过去将来的动作，且they (指代客户)与style是动宾关系，应用过去将来时的被动语态wouldn’t be styled。故填wouldn’t be styled。 【5题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：20年后，她的服务已成为该领域最受欢迎的服务之一。根据“some people fly her out of the state, even out of the country, and spend $7,000 for a day-long shoot”及“among”可知，此处是“among+the+形容词最高级”表示“在最……的……之一”，形容词popular的最高级是the most popular。故填the most popular。 【6题详解】 考查连词。句意：尽管我们生活在一个几乎任何人都能用智能手机拍出高质量照片的时代，但像Bethmann这样的人发现找工作比以往更容易。前后句是让步关系，应用连词Although/Though/While，表示“虽然，尽管”，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Although/Though/While。 【7题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在过去十年里，职业摄影师的数量增加了约15%，预计还会继续增长。根据over the past decade可知，此处应用现在完成时，主语The number是单数，be动词用has。故填has risen。 【8题详解】 考查关系代词。句意：但家庭照片一直是非常珍贵的物品，其价值不在于物质形式，而在于它们保存的记忆。先行词objects和value是所属关系，此处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作定语，应用关系代词whose。故填whose。 【9题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这种根深蒂固的保留记忆的冲动几乎是一种本能。此处是固定搭配the urge to do sth.，意为“做某事的渴望”，应用动词不定式to hold作后置定语，修饰名词urge。故填to hold。 【10题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：如今，社交媒体带来的新压力要求人们达到他们在网上看到的标准，这刺激了需求，并改变了家庭记录记忆的方式和原因。此处引导宾语从句，从句中they are exposed to缺少宾语，指物，应用what。故填what。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. distress B. pin C. scare D. coexisting E. unfold F. channelling G. single H. familiarity I. barely J. restorative K. unlikely The Healing Power of Caring for a Pigeon (鸽子) Like many people, I have always considered pigeons to be annoying and dirty virus-carriers. These birds, often said to ____11____ off smaller, prettier species, had never interested me until Brian Buckbee’s memoir We Should All Be Birds changed my perception. One evening in 2020, Buckbee spotted a pigeon on a walk near his home in Missoula, MT. It was standing on one leg and staring right at him. “He had the funniest look in his eye, one of ____12____, as if we had known each other for a long, long time.” This description showcases one of Buckbee’s remarkable skills: ____13____ a sense of personality into birds. As it turned out, the pigeon’s bent leg was injured, leaving it ____14____ able to fly and near starvation, so Buckbee brought it home, where he was no longer alone for the first time since the health crisis began, and he named the bird Two-Step. Like the bird, Buckbee was in ____15____. He was once an ocean-swimming world traveller, but for the past few years, he had struggled with a disease that has no known cause, no clear cure. His memoir is about his ____16____ friendship with Two-Step, and with a dozen or so other sick pigeons that he later takes in. It is about more than ____17____ with wild creatures. It’s also about sorrow, loss, pain, loneliness, and the ____18____ power of love. It’s a striking illustration of how caring for another living creature — even a wild bird — can give life meaning. We Should All Be Birds takes place between May 2020 and January 2023, but Buckbee moves around in time to ____19____ the backstory — his relationship with a woman, his trips to Southeast Asia that might have caused the illness, and his memories of his mother. It joins a growing collection of books by writers who have bonded with birds and other animals. However, Buckbee’s humour, warm tone and delicate physical condition ____20____ this book out from the rest. 【答案】11. C 12. H 13. F 14. I 15. A 16. K 17. D 18. J 19. E 20.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Many of the journeys we take are forced rather than chosen, and we need to reclaim the ____26____ stolen from us by long travel.

As the name suggests, the 15-Minute City is an urban model in which the ____28____ needs of residents are accessible on foot or by bicycle. Neighborhoods are not enclosed in physical walls. Human freedom is at the heart of the idea, and it gives people ____29____ and allows them to get their time back. One typical way to move toward the 15-Minute ideal is through ____30____.

How about lecture theatres that serve as cinemas in the evening, cafes that transform into nightclubs, or school playgrounds that open to families on weekends? With ____31____ spaces to add variety to neighbourhoods, life can be more convenient. The book is full of ____32____, not just theory.

Whether it gets called the 15-Minute City or something slightly different, cities around the world are ____34____ proximity and reversing the damage from the age of the car.

Therefore因此；B. Meanwhile同时；C. Otherwise否则；D. Instead反而。上文“Careful traffic management is vital.”说“精细化的交通管理至关重要”，结合下文“life would become disconnected.”可知，本句表示“否则，生活就会变得脱节”。otherwise用于引出反面结果，符合逻辑。故选C。 【25题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：卡洛斯·莫雷诺是一位出生于哥伦比亚、现居法国的都市规划专家。他认为，现在是时候重新调整布局，更注重就近原则了。A. at the expense of以损害（某事或某人）的方式；B. in light of根据；C. in favor of支持；D. in response to作为回应。根据上文“it’s time to rebalance things”可知，城市规划师卡洛斯・莫雷诺主张重新调整城市布局，支持“邻近性”这一核心原则。故选C。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们所经历的许多旅程都是被迫的而非自主选择的，因此我们需要夺回那些因长途旅行而被剥夺的时间。A. energy精力；B. time时间；C. money金钱；D. freedom自由。根据上文“Many of the journeys we take are forced rather than chosen”可知，长途通勤占用了人们大量时间，我们需要夺回被偷走的时间。下文“allows them to get their time back”也是呼应。故选B。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他致力于宜居城市的研究工作，由此形成了一系列被称为“15分钟城市”的原则，他那富有见地的著作详细介绍了这些原则在全球范围内的推广情况。A. spread扩散；B. function功能；C. history历史；D. influence影响。根据下文“around the world”可知，他的著作详细介绍了“15分钟城市”理念在全球的传播情况。spread 表示“传播、推广”，符合语境。故选A。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：正如其名所示，15分钟城市是一种城市模式，在这种模式中，居民的基本需求可以通过步行或骑自行车轻松获得。A. optional可选择的；B. essential基本的，重要的；C. occasional偶尔的；D. specialized专门的。根据下文“needs of residents are accessible on foot or by bicycle”可知，“15分钟城市”的核心是居民的基本需求可以步行或骑车满足。essential needs意为“基本需求”，如购物、就医等。故选B。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：人类的自由是这一理念的核心所在，它赋予人们选择的权力，并让他们能够重新获得属于自己的时间。A. guidance指导；B. choice选择；C. comfort安慰；D. authority权威。根据上文“Human freedom is at the heart of the idea”可知，这个理念的核心是保障人的自由，给予人们更多选择（比如步行通勤、就近消费）。故选B。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：实现“十五分钟”理想这一目标的一种常见方法就是进行“多样化”操作。A. patent专利；B. regulation规章制度；C. cooperation合作；D. diversification多元化。根据下文“How about lecture theatres that serve as cinemas in the evening, cafes that transform into nightclubs, or school playgrounds that open to families on weekends?”可知，实现“15分钟城市”的典型方式是功能多样化，下文举例“报告厅晚上变影院、咖啡馆变夜店”就是功能混合的体现。故选D。 【31题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：通过打造多功能空间，可以为社区增添更多变化，从而使生活更加便捷。A. adequate足够的；B. temporary暂时的；C. multifunctional多功能的；D. conventional传统的。根据下文“add variety to neighbourhoods, life can be more convenient”可知，多功能的空间能为社区增添多样性，让生活更便利，与前文的“功能多样化”直接对应。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这本书不仅有理论内容，还配有大量实例。A. comments评论；B. prospects前景；C. descriptions描述；D. examples例子。根据下文“not just theory”可知，这本书里满是实例而非空谈理论，下文“Portland, Milan, and Melbourne”提到的巴黎、波特兰、墨尔本城市案例也是佐证。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：书中还设有专门章节，介绍了该模式在波特兰、米兰和墨尔本等地的具体应用情况，每个地方都有各自的全国性规划，并融入了各自独特的特色。A. locally在本地；B. gradually逐渐地；C. moderately适中地；D. occasionally偶尔。根据下文“each having a national plan and adding its unique touch”可知，波特兰、米兰等城市都在结合本地情况调整这一理念，都有各自的全国性规划，并融入了各自独特的特色。故选A。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：无论人们将其称为“十五分钟城市”还是其他稍有不同的名称，世界各地的城市都在重新重视近距离生活模式，并努力修复汽车时代造成的破坏。A. sacrificing牺牲；B. admiring欣赏；C. rediscovering重新发现；D. reevaluating重新评估。根据下文“proximity and reversing the damage from the age of the car”可知，世界各地的城市都在重新发掘“邻近性”的价值，扭转汽车时代带来的弊端。rediscovering 表示“重新发现”，呼应开头“In the past, all cities were 15-minute cities”提到的过去的城市都是15分钟城市的内容。故选C。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：莫雷诺的这本书为人们深入理解这一必要性以及如何实现这一目标提供了极好的阐述，其论述基于那些正在因这一变革而受益的真实城市实例。A. balanced平衡；B. planned计划；C. tested测试；D. achieved实现。根据下文“grounded in real cities that are benefiting from the transformation”可知，这本书很好地阐释了为什么“15分钟城市”理念是必要的，以及如何实现它。achieved表示“实现”，符合“基于受益于转型的真实城市案例”的语境。故选D。 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) It wasn’t Leo’s choice to leave academia. With just one semester left of his high school career, Leo found himself without a place to live. His only option was to turn his part-time job into two full-time jobs and delay finishing his degree. Sadly, that day wasn’t soon to come. Seventeen years later, Leo was providing for his son, Jonathan, and his four-year-old daughter, Hallie. When he realized Jonathan was in need of some extra attention, he knew it was time to become the role model his son deserved. Determined to get back on the track he promised himself so long ago, Leo began attending high school equivalency classes in Staten Island. After all, without a certificate, he lacked the qualifications for higher education, better jobs, and the stability his family needed. Intelligence and perseverance had carried him through many hardships, but now he needed the degree. Math and essay writing became priorities, and with the help of his teacher, Phil Cameron, Leo made the progress he needed to aid his growing confidence. But it wasn’t just the student who came away with something from these lessons. Leo shared his love of science, politics, news, and novels with anyone who would listen, and even Phil remarked, “I always learned something in my conversations with Leo.” Then came the day of the test, and Leo was thrown yet another curveball. Not only was he given a faulty calculator, but the headache he woke up with still hadn’t gone away. All seemed hopeless until his thoughts turned to his children. They gave him the power to push through: Leo passed the test, finally earning his high school certificate. For the first time, he could feel worthy of the pride his children already had in him. With his newfound confidence, Leo thought it made sense to pass on his love of reading. Taking a page from his teacher’s book — instead of forcing the studies — Leo adopted an engaging approach to reading with his son. Twenty minutes a night was all it took, and soon enough, Jonathan was making rapid progress, finishing the school year by jumping up three reading levels. He was even recognized as Student of the Month. Now Jonathan excels in school and enjoys learning. Maybe best of all, after a couple of months of Leo reading with Jonathan, Jonathan started reading to his younger sister — passing on this familial love of reading first from Leo, then to Jonathan, and finally to Hallie. 36. Leo decided to go back to school because ________. A. he was tired of working full-time B. he hoped to ease his family burden C. he wanted to grow and guide his children D. he excelled in math and essay writing 37. What can be learned about Leo’s high school equivalency classes from the passage? A. They focused mainly on science and politics. B. They provide opportunities for mutual learning. C. They promised a high-paying job after graduation. D. They allowed students to explore personal interests. 38. The word “curveball”(para.4) probably refers to ________. A. a type of baseball B. an unfair situation C. a tricky math question D. an unexpected obstacle 39. What lesson can be inferred from Leo’s story? A. Perseverance and education can shape the next generation. B. Exchanging knowledge can help people grow together. C. Cooperation and guidance is essential for academic success. D. Family bonds can be strengthened through shared activities. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了利奥因生活所迫中断学业，多年后为给子女树立榜样重返课堂，克服考试突发困难拿到学历，还带动子女爱上阅读，用毅力与教育影响了下一代。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When he realized Jonathan was in need of some extra attention, he knew it was time to become the role model his son deserved.(当他意识到乔纳森需要更多的关爱时，他便明白自己应该成为儿子所应拥有的榜样了)”可知，利奥决定重返学校，因为他想要成长并教导自己的孩子。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Leo shared his love of science, politics, news, and novels with anyone who would listen, and even Phil remarked, “I always learned something in my conversations with Leo.”(利奥会向任何愿意倾听的人分享他对科学、政治、新闻和小说的热爱，甚至菲尔也说：“和利奥交谈的过程中，我总能学到一些东西。”)”可知，这门课程实现了师生间的相互学习。故选B。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Not only was he given a faulty calculator, but the headache he woke up with still hadn’t gone away.(不仅给他发了一台有故障的计算器，而且他醒来时还带着的头痛仍未消失)”可知，后文提到利奥考试时遇到计算器故障、头痛不止的突发状况，这些都是意料之外的麻烦，故划线词意思是“一个意外的障碍”。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Taking a page from his teacher’s book — instead of forcing the studies — Leo adopted an engaging approach to reading with his son. Twenty minutes a night was all it took, and soon enough, Jonathan was making rapid progress, finishing the school year by jumping up three reading levels. He was even recognized as Student of the Month.(借鉴老师的做法——而不是强迫学习——利奥与儿子采用了有趣的学习方式。每天只需阅读二十分钟，不久之后，乔纳森就取得了显著进步，仅用一个学期就提升了三个阅读等级。他还被评为“月度学生之星”)”以及最后一段“Now Jonathan excels in school and enjoys learning. Maybe best of all, after a couple of months of Leo reading with Jonathan, Jonathan started reading to his younger sister — passing on this familial love of reading first from Leo, then to Jonathan, and finally to Hallie.(如今，乔纳森在学校表现出色，乐于学习。最棒的是，在与利奥一起阅读几个月后，乔纳森开始给他的小妹妹读书——就这样，这种家庭对阅读的热爱从利奥传给了乔纳森，再由乔纳森传递给了哈莉)”可知，坚韧不拔的精神和教育能够塑造下一代。故选A。 (B) Al Literacy and Guidelines Park Hill School District What is Generative AI? Artificial Intelligence refers to systems designed to complete specific tasks and has been around for many years. Your smartphone’s facial recognition and virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri all use AI.

Some are predictable, such as “iPad kids” and “Generation AI”. Others are puzzling, as with “Polars”, which nods both to growing polarisation and shrinking ice caps. One name has caught on in the English-speaking West: “Generation Alpha”. It symbolises a fresh chapter, says Mark McCrindle, the Australian demographer (人口学家) behind it. He consulted people for ideas nearly 20 years ago; many suggested the name “Gen A”. But rather than go back to the start of the Latin alphabet (字母表), he shifted to the Greek one. “Alpha” has recently become a trendy term. Reports and surveys have been published about these youngsters, describing their preferences and predicting their future. Analysts suggest that Alphas will become the most innovative generation. Such insights make for good headlines. But social scientists say it is too soon to identify the distinctive characteristics of a group that includes toddlers (学步儿童). Predicting how they will grow up “has no more value than guesswork”, says Bobby Duffy, a professor at King’s College London: Many judgments made now will be proved wrong in the future. Research is largely driven by commercial interests. Alpha is projected to be the world’s largest generation, with more than 2 billion members. By 2029, nearly $5.5 trillion will be spent on Alphas a year, predicts McCrindle’s research firm. That presents an opportunity for businesses, and for the marketing firms that advise “how to prepare for Gen Alpha”. Restrictions on marketing to youngsters prevent many insights. Governments regulate advertisements aimed at minors and stop their personal data from being collected without parental permission. Some surveys about Gen Alpha are filled out by parents, who interpret their children’s habits. Many conclusions do not apply to the youngest members. There are disagreements about who exactly counts as Alpha. McCrindle thinks the group should include those born between 2010 and 2024. Yet other firms say Gen Z only stopped being born in 2012. Because there is no official classification, one person’s Z is another’s Alpha. But no one can deny that Alphas are in their formative years, when attitudes and values continue to change as they grow up and come of age. It will be at least five years before Alphas are old enough for real differences to be seen between them and others, believes Duffy. Until then, the generation will keep experts and parents on their toes. 43. In paragraph 3, both social scientists and Bobby Duffy believe that ________. A. Alphas are certain to be highly creative B. current reports accurately describe Alphas C. a precise description of Alphas cannot yet be made D. the name “Generation Alpha” itself reflects positive expectations 44. What can be inferred from the current research on Alphas mentioned in paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Its objectivity may be affected by commercial motivation. B. It is mainly conducted for academic exploration. C. The sample size used in the research process is limited. D. Legal restrictions make the findings more reliable. 45. According to paragraph 6, what does the author imply about Generation Alpha? A. Their values are largely shaped by outside social forces. B. Adults can take a relaxed attitude when dealing with them. C. Disagreements over labels don’t affect how the group is understood. D. Noticeable and distinct qualities won’t emerge until the generation matures. 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. The media’s excitement about naming the youngest generation. B. Why Generation Alpha is expected to reshape future markets and culture. C. The challenges and uncertainties in defining and researching Generation Alpha. D. How parents and marketing agencies influence children’s early development. 【答案】43. C 44. A 45. D 46. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了“阿尔法一代”(2010年后出生的一代)的命名背景、研究面临的挑战及相关争议等。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But social scientists say it is too soon to identify the distinctive characteristics of a group that includes toddlers (学步儿童). Predicting how they will grow up “has no more value than guesswork”, says Bobby Duffy, a professor at King’s College London: Many judgments made now will be proved wrong in the future. (但社会科学家表示，现在就确定这个包含学步儿童在内的群体的独特特征还为时过早。伦敦大学国王学院教授Bobby Duffy表示，预测他们将如何成长“和猜测没什么区别”：现在做出的许多判断在未来将被证明是错误的。)”可知，社会科学家和Bobby Duffy都认为目前无法精准描述阿尔法一代的特征。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Research is largely driven by commercial interests. (研究在很大程度上是由商业利益驱动的。)”及“That presents an opportunity for businesses, and for the marketing firms that advise “how to prepare for Gen Alpha”. (这为企业提供了机会，也为那些建议“如何为阿尔法时代做准备”的营销公司提供了机会。)”可知，关于阿尔法一代的研究主要受商业利益驱动，其客观性可能会受商业动机影响。故选A项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But no one can deny that Alphas are in their formative years, when attitudes and values continue to change as they grow up and come of age. It will be at least five years before Alphas are old enough for real differences to be seen between them and others, believes Duffy. (但没人能否认，阿尔法一代正处于成长形成期，随着他们的长大成年，态度和价值观会不断改变。Duffy认为，阿尔法至少还需要五年的时间才能长到足以看出它们和其他群体之间的真正差异。)”可知，作者暗示阿尔法一代的显著独特特质要等他们成年后才会显现。故选D项。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。第1段介绍了针对2010年后出生的新一代，人们提出了多种命名；第2段说明“阿尔法一代”这一名称在英语国家流行，由人口学家 Mark McCrindle提出，象征“新的篇章”；第3段指出“阿尔法一代”相关报道虽多，但社会科学家认为目前无法精准定义其特征，Bobby Duffy称这类预测“和猜测没什么区别”；第4-5段说明对阿尔法一代的研究受商业利益驱动，且存在法律限制、样本偏差等问题，研究结论的客观性存疑；第6段提到“阿尔法一代”的群体划分存在争议，且其特质要等成长后才会显现。由此可知，文章核心围绕“定义和研究阿尔法一代过程中面临的挑战与不确定性”展开。故选C项。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. How a Snack Is Born? Are you feeling slightly hungry? Maybe it’s a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you’re thinking about reaching for a brightly coloured wrapper with something delicious inside. Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone; we all do it. ____47____ First, companies have to work out what people have an appetite for. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. ____48____ Companies can search the Internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends and in-demand ingredients (原料). ____49____ When British supermarkets are encouraged to remove unhealthy snacks from the shelves next to where people line up, companies quickly introduced healthier treats. They can also reflect different histories of population movement. One British snack company found that flavours common in South Asian cuisine sold well in the UK, but less so in the US, where there is less of a tradition of Indian food. And demand for more sustainability has led some entrepreneurs (创业者) to experiment with using insects as an alternative source of protein for snacks. Other brands market themselves as offering a fairer price to the producers of the raw ingredients. Of course, what might seem like the perfect idea might not actually be that practical. Ingredients that work well in a restaurant might not work on biscuits or chips. ____50____ Some designs might need expensive packaging to protect them, which stops them being profitable. There are many factors that influence our snacks. Those that are successful reflect our tastes and concerns but can be limited by the production process. A. Snack trends also change over time. B. In today’s digital age, apps can ask customers to pick the flavors they fancy. C. Flavours that are popular in one country can completely fail in another market. D. How much work goes into developing and making the snacks that we all know and love? E. Snacks with fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life to be a marketable product. F. Even when a healthier version is launched, it often costs more than the original option. 【答案】47. D 48. B 49. A 50. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了零食开发背后的工作流程及影响因素。 【47题详解】 上文“Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone; we all do it.

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. Sleep Paralysis Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, aware of your surroundings, yet completely unable to move or speak for a few seconds or even minutes? This unsettling phenomenon, often accompanied by a sense of fear or pressure on the chest, is known as sleep paralysis. This temporary paralysis is a normal function of your body during a sleep stage called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, your brain actively dreams, and to prevent you from physically acting out those dreams, your body temporarily paralyzes your muscles. Normally, you are unaware of this paralysis because you are asleep. In everyday life, certain conditions can make such episodes more likely to occur. Not getting enough sleep and having an irregular sleep schedule are common risk factors. Additionally, it may be more common in people who have high blood pressure or who suffer from serious headaches. While the exact cause of these episodes is not fully understood, research has confirmed their association with sleep paralysis. In fact, recent findings suggest that sleep paralysis can happen to everyone, with approximately 8% of the general population experiencing it at some point in their lives. Fortunately, for most people, the episodes usually last less than a minute and occur only a few times in their lives. Studies show that the vast majority report little disturbance afterward. Given these findings, most people don’t seek particular treatment. However, for those in need of help, it’s best to follow a regular sleep schedule, create a restful sleep environment, and avoid caffeine or heavy meals late at night. Should the episodes become frequent and severely disruptive, it’s vital to consult a professional healthcare provider — common treatments like targeted medication and structured behavioral therapy often work effectively. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sleep paralysis, a normal function during REM sleep, refers to a temporary inability to move when waking up. It can be triggered by factors including poor sleep habits and weak physical condition. Although common, it does not typically require treatment. For those needing help, improving sleep practices or seeking medical advice are effective solutions. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。睡眠瘫痪是快速眼动睡眠阶段的一种正常生理现象，具体表现为醒来时出现短暂的身体无法动弹的情况。睡眠不足的作息习惯、身体虚弱等因素均可能诱发该症状。尽管这种现象十分常见，但通常无需进行医学治疗。对于那些需要帮助的人来说，改善睡眠习惯或寻求医疗建议是有效的解决办法。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①This unsettling phenomenon, often accompanied by a sense of fear or pressure on the chest, is known as sleep paralysis.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits the blank. Would You Pay $1,000 for a Family Photo? Kirsten Bethmann started photographing families in 2005. She was living in North Carolina, and found the era’s typical style to be pretty inspired, with families ____1____ (stand) awkwardly amid low, windswept sand hills. So, when she entered the field, she drew inspiration ____2____ her background in photojournalism and tried something more natural. She instructed families to play on the beach for most of their hour-long session, and then spend 10 minutes taking traditional, ___3___ (pose) photos. She even drafted contracts requiring clients to promise that they ___4___ (not style) in matching outfits. The first year, she had a dozen customers. Twenty years later, her services have become among ____5____(popular) in the field, which is why some people fly her out of the state, even out of the country, and spend $7,000 for a day-long shoot. ____6____ we are living in an age when almost anyone can produce high-quality images with merely a smartphone, people like Bethmann find it easier than ever to secure work. The number of working professional photographers ____7____ (rise) by roughly 15 percent over the past decade and is expected to keep increasing. Family photography is one of the field’s most popular specialties. Rates as steep as Bethmann’s are uncommon. Still, nearly 40 percent of customers dish out more than $1,000 for a shoot. Putting so much money toward professional photos might feel like a luxury. But family pictures have long been highly treasured objects, ____8____ value lies less in their material form than in the memories they preserve. The deep-seated urge ____9____ (hold) on to a memory is almost instinctive, as seen in our ancestors’ cave drawings or storytelling around a fire. Today, that age-old instinct of preservation is facing new pressures from social media for people to measure up to ____10____ they are exposed to online, fueling demand and transforming how and why families capture their memories: what the photos look like, what they cost, and, crucially, who they are for. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. distress B. pin C. scare D. coexisting E. unfold F. channelling G. single H. familiarity I. barely J. restorative K. unlikely The Healing Power of Caring for a Pigeon (鸽子) Like many people, I have always considered pigeons to be annoying and dirty virus-carriers. These birds, often said to ____11____ off smaller, prettier species, had never interested me until Brian Buckbee’s memoir We Should All Be Birds changed my perception. One evening in 2020, Buckbee spotted a pigeon on a walk near his home in Missoula, MT. It was standing on one leg and staring right at him. “He had the funniest look in his eye, one of ____12____, as if we had known each other for a long, long time.” This description showcases one of Buckbee’s remarkable skills: ____13____ a sense of personality into birds. As it turned out, the pigeon’s bent leg was injured, leaving it ____14____ able to fly and near starvation, so Buckbee brought it home, where he was no longer alone for the first time since the health crisis began, and he named the bird Two-Step. Like the bird, Buckbee was in ____15____. He was once an ocean-swimming world traveller, but for the past few years, he had struggled with a disease that has no known cause, no clear cure. His memoir is about his ____16____ friendship with Two-Step, and with a dozen or so other sick pigeons that he later takes in. It is about more than ____17____ with wild creatures. It’s also about sorrow, loss, pain, loneliness, and the ____18____ power of love. It’s a striking illustration of how caring for another living creature — even a wild bird — can give life meaning. We Should All Be Birds takes place between May 2020 and January 2023, but Buckbee moves around in time to ____19____ the backstory — his relationship with a woman, his trips to Southeast Asia that might have caused the illness, and his memories of his mother. It joins a growing collection of books by writers who have bonded with birds and other animals. However, Buckbee’s humour, warm tone and delicate physical condition ____20____ this book out from the rest. 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. In the past, all cities were 15-minute cities, designed to be entirely accessible on foot, where proximity — being close in distance — was a necessity. Citizens would naturally expect to find their work, their homes and the markets within a ____21____ distance. Motorized transport ____22____ the pattern and opened up new forms of urbanism. Public and private vehicles made it possible to live in one place and work in another. Proximity wasn’t so important and cities began to ____23____. Architects and planners redesigned cities with easy car travel in mind, prioritizing movement between different destinations. Careful traffic management is vital. ____24____, life would become disconnected. Carlos Moreno, a Colombian-born urbanist now living in France, argues that it’s time to rebalance things ____25____ proximity. Many of the journeys we take are forced rather than chosen, and we need to reclaim the ____26____ stolen from us by long travel. His life’s work on liveable cities has led to a series of principles now known as the 15-Minute City, and his insightful book details its ____27____ around the world. As the name suggests, the 15-Minute City is an urban model in which the ____28____ needs of residents are accessible on foot or by bicycle. Neighborhoods are not enclosed in physical walls. Human freedom is at the heart of the idea, and it gives people ____29____ and allows them to get their time back. One typical way to move toward the 15-Minute ideal is through ____30____. A great number of buildings have only one role, leaving them in use merely 30 — 40% of the time. How about lecture theatres that serve as cinemas in the evening, cafes that transform into nightclubs, or school playgrounds that open to families on weekends? With ____31____ spaces to add variety to neighbourhoods, life can be more convenient. The book is full of ____32____, not just theory. Paris stands out as a major case study, having test-run the 15-Minute City plan before applying it across the city. There are also chapters showing how it is being ____33____ adapted in Portland, Milan, and Melbourne, each having a national plan and adding its unique touch.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) It wasn’t Leo’s choice to leave academia. With just one semester left of his high school career, Leo found himself without a place to live. His only option was to turn his part-time job into two full-time jobs and delay finishing his degree. Sadly, that day wasn’t soon to come. Seventeen years later, Leo was providing for his son, Jonathan, and his four-year-old daughter, Hallie. When he realized Jonathan was in need of some extra attention, he knew it was time to become the role model his son deserved. Determined to get back on the track he promised himself so long ago, Leo began attending high school equivalency classes in Staten Island. After all, without a certificate, he lacked the qualifications for higher education, better jobs, and the stability his family needed. Intelligence and perseverance had carried him through many hardships, but now he needed the degree. Math and essay writing became priorities, and with the help of his teacher, Phil Cameron, Leo made the progress he needed to aid his growing confidence. But it wasn’t just the student who came away with something from these lessons. Leo shared his love of science, politics, news, and novels with anyone who would listen, and even Phil remarked, “I always learned something in my conversations with Leo.” Then came the day of the test, and Leo was thrown yet another curveball. Not only was he given a faulty calculator, but the headache he woke up with still hadn’t gone away. All seemed hopeless until his thoughts turned to his children. They gave him the power to push through: Leo passed the test, finally earning his high school certificate. For the first time, he could feel worthy of the pride his children already had in him. With his newfound confidence, Leo thought it made sense to pass on his love of reading. Taking a page from his teacher’s book — instead of forcing the studies — Leo adopted an engaging approach to reading with his son. Twenty minutes a night was all it took, and soon enough, Jonathan was making rapid progress, finishing the school year by jumping up three reading levels. He was even recognized as Student of the Month. Now Jonathan excels in school and enjoys learning. Maybe best of all, after a couple of months of Leo reading with Jonathan, Jonathan started reading to his younger sister — passing on this familial love of reading first from Leo, then to Jonathan, and finally to Hallie. 36. Leo decided to go back to school because ________. A. he was tired of working full-time B. he hoped to ease his family burden C. he wanted to grow and guide his children D. he excelled in math and essay writing 37. What can be learned about Leo’s high school equivalency classes from the passage? A. They focused mainly on science and politics. B. They provide opportunities for mutual learning. C. They promised a high-paying job after graduation. D. They allowed students to explore personal interests. 38. The word “curveball”(para.4) probably refers to ________. A. a type of baseball B. an unfair situation C. a tricky math question D. an unexpected obstacle 39. What lesson can be inferred from Leo’s story? A. Perseverance and education can shape the next generation. B. Exchanging knowledge can help people grow together. C. Cooperation and guidance is essential for academic success. D. Family bonds can be strengthened through shared activities. (B) Al Literacy and Guidelines Park Hill School District What is Generative AI? Artificial Intelligence refers to systems designed to complete specific tasks and has been around for many years. Your smartphone’s facial recognition and virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri all use AI. Generative AI (GenAI), however is a newer technology that generates original content, including text, images, and music, by learning from existing data. It enables the creation of innovative and customized educational materials, enhancing creativity and learning. What is AI’s Role in the Park Hill Classroom? AI’s purpose in our learning is to enhance, not replace, the effort put into your teaching and learning. Its use is intended to facilitate, not to complete tasks on your behalf. AI will offer tailored support to meet diverse learning needs, by breaking down complex concepts or summarizing information, thereby enriching the educational experience. Data Privacy and Security Ensuring data privacy and security is important when using GenAI tools. It is essential to avoid inputting any personally identifiable information or secret information into AI systems for now to safeguard our privacy. By strictly following this guideline, we can use GenAI technologies effectively while protecting the integrity of personal data, since we have no control over the data once it is in those systems. Students: ? ①Always start by asking your teacher if you can use GenAI on the work you are assigned. ②Be sure to track your usage of the tool. You can do this by copying and pasting your conversation into a Word or Google document. ③Always cite the tool when you submit your assignment. Appropriate AI Usage ● Research Assistance: Helping students gather knowledge and information for a topic, assignment, or assessment. ● Creative Projects: Generating art, music, or creative writing ideas as a starting point for my own projects. ● Personalized Learning: Providing students with a teacher to help students learn at their own pace and in their own way. Inappropriate AI Usage ● Submitting AI-Generated Work: Turning in assignments entirely created by AI as a student’s own without disclosure or modification. ● Misinformation: Relying on unchecked AI-generated information for academic work without confirming its accuracy. ● Not Asking Permission: Submitting work without confirming that GenAI is permitted to be used. 40. What’s the text mainly intended to do? A. Prepare schools for effective AI integration. B. Promote the responsible use of AI in education. C. Support teaching management through AI tools. D. Ensure data privacy and safe, with AI tools. 41. Which of the following best fits in the blank “ ? ”? A. How to know If and When to Use GenAI B. How to Select Right GenAI Tools for Schoolwork C. How to Track and Report Your GenAI Activities D. How to Follow School Rules When Using GenAI 42. Thomas used an AI tool to ask for the key issues about his research topic. He copied some of the answers into his notes without marking them as AI-generated, and then searched for reliable sources to confirm the information. Which kind of AI usage does it belong to? A. Not Asking permission. B. Misinformation. C. Research Assistance. D. Personalized Learning. (C) Lots of names have been proposed for the world’s youngest generation, born roughly since 2010. Some are predictable, such as “iPad kids” and “Generation AI”. Others are puzzling, as with “Polars”, which nods both to growing polarisation and shrinking ice caps. One name has caught on in the English-speaking West: “Generation Alpha”. It symbolises a fresh chapter, says Mark McCrindle, the Australian demographer (人口学家) behind it. He consulted people for ideas nearly 20 years ago; many suggested the name “Gen A”. But rather than go back to the start of the Latin alphabet (字母表), he shifted to the Greek one. “Alpha” has recently become a trendy term. Reports and surveys have been published about these youngsters, describing their preferences and predicting their future. Analysts suggest that Alphas will become the most innovative generation. Such insights make for good headlines. But social scientists say it is too soon to identify the distinctive characteristics of a group that includes toddlers (学步儿童). Predicting how they will grow up “has no more value than guesswork”, says Bobby Duffy, a professor at King’s College London: Many judgments made now will be proved wrong in the future. Research is largely driven by commercial interests. Alpha is projected to be the world’s largest generation, with more than 2 billion members. By 2029, nearly $5.5 trillion will be spent on Alphas a year, predicts McCrindle’s research firm. That presents an opportunity for businesses, and for the marketing firms that advise “how to prepare for Gen Alpha”. Restrictions on marketing to youngsters prevent many insights. Governments regulate advertisements aimed at minors and stop their personal data from being collected without parental permission. Some surveys about Gen Alpha are filled out by parents, who interpret their children’s habits. Many conclusions do not apply to the youngest members. There are disagreements about who exactly counts as Alpha. McCrindle thinks the group should include those born between 2010 and 2024. Yet other firms say Gen Z only stopped being born in 2012. Because there is no official classification, one person’s Z is another’s Alpha. But no one can deny that Alphas are in their formative years, when attitudes and values continue to change as they grow up and come of age. It will be at least five years before Alphas are old enough for real differences to be seen between them and others, believes Duffy. Until then, the generation will keep experts and parents on their toes. 43. In paragraph 3, both social scientists and Bobby Duffy believe that ________. A. Alphas are certain to be highly creative B. current reports accurately describe Alphas C. a precise description of Alphas cannot yet be made D. the name “Generation Alpha” itself reflects positive expectations 44. What can be inferred from the current research on Alphas mentioned in paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Its objectivity may be affected by commercial motivation. B. It is mainly conducted for academic exploration. C. The sample size used in the research process is limited. D. Legal restrictions make the findings more reliable. 45. According to paragraph 6, what does the author imply about Generation Alpha? A. Their values are largely shaped by outside social forces. B. Adults can take a relaxed attitude when dealing with them. C. Disagreements over labels don’t affect how the group is understood. D. Noticeable and distinct qualities won’t emerge until the generation matures. 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. The media’s excitement about naming the youngest generation. B. Why Generation Alpha is expected to reshape future markets and culture. C. The challenges and uncertainties in defining and researching Generation Alpha. D. How parents and marketing agencies influence children’s early development. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. How a Snack Is Born? Are you feeling slightly hungry? Maybe it’s a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you’re thinking about reaching for a brightly coloured wrapper with something delicious inside. Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone; we all do it. ____47____ First, companies have to work out what people have an appetite for. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. ____48____ Companies can search the Internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends and in-demand ingredients (原料). ____49____ When British supermarkets are encouraged to remove unhealthy snacks from the shelves next to where people line up, companies quickly introduced healthier treats. They can also reflect different histories of population movement. One British snack company found that flavours common in South Asian cuisine sold well in the UK, but less so in the US, where there is less of a tradition of Indian food. And demand for more sustainability has led some entrepreneurs (创业者) to experiment with using insects as an alternative source of protein for snacks. Other brands market themselves as offering a fairer price to the producers of the raw ingredients. Of course, what might seem like the perfect idea might not actually be that practical. Ingredients that work well in a restaurant might not work on biscuits or chips. ____50____ Some designs might need expensive packaging to protect them, which stops them being profitable. There are many factors that influence our snacks. Those that are successful reflect our tastes and concerns but can be limited by the production process. A. Snack trends also change over time. B. In today’s digital age, apps can ask customers to pick the flavors they fancy. C. Flavours that are popular in one country can completely fail in another market. D. How much work goes into developing and making the snacks that we all know and love? E. Snacks with fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life to be a marketable product. F. Even when a healthier version is launched, it often costs more than the original option. Ⅲ. Summary Writing 51. 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. Sleep Paralysis Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, aware of your surroundings, yet completely unable to move or speak for a few seconds or even minutes? This unsettling phenomenon, often accompanied by a sense of fear or pressure on the chest, is known as sleep paralysis. This temporary paralysis is a normal function of your body during a sleep stage called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, your brain actively dreams, and to prevent you from physically acting out those dreams, your body temporarily paralyzes your muscles. Normally, you are unaware of this paralysis because you are asleep. In everyday life, certain conditions can make such episodes more likely to occur. Not getting enough sleep and having an irregular sleep schedule are common risk factors. Additionally, it may be more common in people who have high blood pressure or who suffer from serious headaches. While the exact cause of these episodes is not fully understood, research has confirmed their association with sleep paralysis. In fact, recent findings suggest that sleep paralysis can happen to everyone, with approximately 8% of the general population experiencing it at some point in their lives. Fortunately, for most people, the episodes usually last less than a minute and occur only a few times in their lives. Studies show that the vast majority report little disturbance afterward. Given these findings, most people don’t seek particular treatment. However, for those in need of help, it’s best to follow a regular sleep schedule, create a restful sleep environment, and avoid caffeine or heavy meals late at night. Should the episodes become frequent and severely disruptive, it’s vital to consult a professional healthcare provider — common treatments like targeted medication and structured behavioral therapy often work effectively. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
