These applications promise increased safety and convenience, yet they also carry potential risks to users’ privacy. This article explains how they work, their benefits, and how users can mitigate risks. How They Work Tracking apps generally rely on GPS (Global Positioning System) data, transmitted from a user’s phone or wearable device to cloud servers. The app then maps location data in real time. Some apps also integrate accelerometers (加速器) and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals to improve accuracy indoors or in dense urban environments. Perceived Benefits ● Safety: Parents can monitor children’s whereabouts, and individuals in danger can send location signals. ● Health & Fitness: Apps can measure walking routes, running paths, or sleep tracking by combining movement and location. ● Convenience: Friends or family can share location temporarily, easing coordination and meetups. Privacy Challenges ● Continuous Data Collection: Many apps collect fine-grained data 24/7, which raises concerns about profiling. ● Data Sharing and Third Parties: Some apps share data with advertisers or analytics companies. ● Data Breach Risks: If the servers are compromised, sensitive location histories may leak. ● Informed Consent Issues: Users may not fully understand what permissions they've granted. Ways to Mitigate Risks ● Use “only while using the app” setting rather than continuous tracking. ● Disable background location access when not needed. ● Regularly delete location history within the app. ● Choose apps with transparent privacy policies and minimal data sharing Overall, tracking apps can be powerful tools, but users must be aware of trade-offs between convenience and privacy. Proper settings and careful app selection can help balance benefits with protection. 1. What is a function of tracking apps mentioned in the passage? A. Repairing damaged GPS signals. B. Blocking unwanted advertisements. C. Predicting traffic conditions in real time. D. Assisting in personal health management. 2. According to the passage, which is NOT suggested as a way to reduce privacy risks? A. Enabling background tracking when not in need. B. frequently clearing one’s location records in the app. C. Turning off location access when the app is not in use. D. Picking applications that are open about their data usage rules. 3. Where can we probably find this article? A. In a travel brochure. B. In a detective story. C. In a health newspaper. D. In a science magazine. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍追踪应用的工作原理、优势、隐私挑战及风险缓解方法，探讨其如何平衡安全与隐私。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Perceived Benefits中的“Health & Fitness: Apps can measure walking routes, running paths, or sleep tracking by combining movement and location.(健康与健身：应用程序可结合运动和位置数据，记录步行路线、跑步路径或追踪睡眠情况。)”可知，追踪应用的功能之一是辅助个人健康管理。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ways to Mitigate Risks中的“Disable background location access when not needed.(不需要时关闭后台定位权限。)”可知，A项“不需要时启用后台追踪”与原文建议相反，并非降低隐私风险的方法。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In recent years, various tracking apps — from family locators to fitness wearables — have surged in popularity. These applications promise increased safety and convenience, yet they also carry potential risks to users’ privacy. This article explains how they work, their benefits, and how users can mitigate risks.(近年来，各类追踪应用 —— 从家庭定位软件到健身可穿戴设备配套应用 激增。这些应用虽承诺提升安全性与便利性，但也给用户隐私带来潜在风险。本文将阐释其工作原理、优势所在以及用户降低风险的方法)”可知，文章围绕追踪应用的技术原理、功能、隐私问题及解决方案展开，属于科技相关主题，因此最可能在科学杂志中找到。故选D项。 B The Great Sock Mystery I had a serious problem. My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How peculiar!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 4. What drove the author to start the investigation? A. The sock drawer was often left open. B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer. C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks. D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house. 5. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster? A. Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock. B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits. C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear. D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks. 6. Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in paragraph 5? A. uninterested. B. uncertain. C. excited. D. confused. 7. What might the author do at last? A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks. B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter. C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster. D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现家里的袜子神秘失踪，调查后发现是狗Buster用袜子和其他狗做交易的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs.(好几个星期以来，我总能在沙发下或电视机后面发现一只袜子，但从来找不到成对的袜子。)”和第二段中“I decided to investigate.(我决定展开调查。)”可知，作者因在家中不寻常的地方频繁发现单只袜子，才决定展开调查。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her.(我认出是贵宾犬Princess，它走上前来，在床边放了一块质量上乘、价格昂贵的狗饼干。Buster仔细地嗅了嗅，用鼻子把一只普通的白袜子推到她面前，然后缩回爪子，护着剩下的袜子。Princess似乎在考虑，然后又往堆里加了一块饼干。Buster很满意，用鼻子熟练地把两条条纹袜子推到她面前。)”可知，Princess和Buster交易的最终结果是Princess用两块昂贵的饼干换了三只袜子。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort.(他提供了一个舔得很好、有点扁的网球。Buster立刻看起来完全unfazed。他哼了一声，把头转了过去。)”可知，Buster对网球不感兴趣，所以把头转了过去，因此unfazed意思是“不感兴趣的”，与uninterested意思相近。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.(Buster还算有礼貌，露出尴尬的神情。它慢慢爬过来，不是来道歉，而是轻轻把我最不喜欢的一双袜子——姨妈送的那双让人发痒的圣诞袜——推到我脚边。这是它求和的表示，想贿赂我让我闭嘴。我忍不住笑了。它不只是个偷袜子高手，还是个出色的生意人呢。我收下了袜子。毕竟，每个良好的经济体系都需要个收税人呢。)”可推知，作者将袜子当作原谅Buster的“税款”收下，接受了它的和解。故选C。 C Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates, Amid falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is suspending the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts to humanities funding elsewhere. This depressing trend is part of a wider pattern. The deliberate commercialisation of higher education is steadily reducing the value of a degree to the bottom line of what job and salary it unlocks. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £ 100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the cap on tuition fees was lifted to £9,000. Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses — those which fail to deliver an instant graduation premium in the job market — are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating. The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr. Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Narrowing the humanities talent pool to a privileged group of students may be self-defeating. More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite (精英) group. After a decade of marketisation, a seriously utilitarian worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities 8. Why do underprivileged students hesitate at Arts and Humanities majors? A. They enjoy taking vocational courses. B. They may not make ends meet after graduation. C. They don’t understand the value of literature. D. They prefer a deliberate learning atmosphere. 9. What does the underlined word “premium” mean in paragraph 3? A. Degree. B. Position. C. Reward. D. Treat. 10. What outcome may the cut of Arts and Humanities courses bring to the non-elite? A. Self-defeating qualities. B. A depressing job market. C. World-leading talent pools. D. A narrowed cultural perspective. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Higher Education Sector: An Elite Game. B. Major Adjustment Policy: An Urgent Call. C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major. D. Vocation and Marketisation: A Focused Trend. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕高校削减人文课程的现象展开，批判这一趋势的错误，强调人文课程的价值，并呼吁保护人文艺术学科的未来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £ 100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational course.(随着毕业生欠下的学生贷款急剧增加，超过10万英镑，来自低收入家庭的年轻人对选择非职业课程三思而后行是可以理解的。)”可知，贫困学生之所以犹豫选择艺术和人文学科专业是因为他们毕业后可能无法维持生计。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating.(今年，英国学生事务办公室出台新规，计划取消对“低质量”课程的资金资助。这类课程的判定标准为：课程学员中，毕业后短期内能进入优质工作岗位或继续深造的人数占比不足60%。)”可知，下文解释了“低质量课程”的定义：“那些毕业后不久就业率或深造率低于60%的课程”。由此可推断，“premium”与就业市场的“回报”相关，即课程能否为毕业生带来即时的职场收益。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite group.(更重要的是，这将急剧缩小精英集团以外人群的文化视野和选择。)”可知，削减艺术和人文学科课程可能会给非精英阶层带来狭隘的文化视角。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕高校削减人文课程的现象展开，批判这一趋势的错误，强调人文课程的价值，并呼吁保护人文艺术学科的未来。由此可知，C项：Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major（人文艺术：一门必须保留的专业）准确概括文章核心观点，是最合适的标题。故选C。 D The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 12. What was the key for children to get a second treat in the Stanford test? A. Selecting their favorite sugary snack. B. Remaining alone in the room for 15 minutes. C. Resisting the immediate desire to eat the first one. D. Following the instructions given by the psychologist. 13. What does the author imply by “a version of the marshmallow test” for adults? A. Adults are tested with digital devices instead of treats. B. Adults face more complex temptations than children. C. Adults must also delay contentment in the digital age. D. Adults are assessed on the ability to share information. 14. According to the text, what is the root cause of people’s struggle against temptation? A. The lack of self-discipline in our contemporary society. B. The mismatch between our ancient brains and modern environment. C The overabundance of calorie-rich foods in the market. D. The constant bombardment of new information from digital devices. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life B. Delaying Satisfaction: A Key to Success C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Modern World D. How to Manage Information Consumption 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章结合棉花糖实验，论述信息时代需理性控制信息消费的观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知，如果他们在吃糖果前等待15分钟，就会得到第二份糖果。)”可知，孩子们得到第二份糖果的关键在于抵抗住立刻吃掉第一份糖果的冲动。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人，我们每天都要面对棉花糖测试的一个版本。我们不会被甜食诱惑，而是会被我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑诱惑——所有这些设备都将我们与全球信息传递系统连接起来，这些信息对我们所起的作用就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童所起的作用一样。)”可知，作者暗示成人在数字时代也必须延迟满足感。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(但是，随着我们重塑了周围的世界，大大降低了获取卡路里的成本和努力，我们仍然拥有几千年前相同的头脑，这种不匹配正是为什么我们很多人难以抗拒我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因。)”可知，人们与诱惑作斗争的根本原因是我们古老的大脑与现代环境之间的不匹配。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“The Stanford marshmallow test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s.(斯坦福棉花糖实验最初由心理学家沃尔特・米歇尔于 20 世纪 60 年代末开展。)”和最后一段“A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(我们对信息的反应也遵循着类似的逻辑。人类在成长关键期所处的环境信息匮乏，因此大脑进化出了珍视新信息的机制。但全球互联彻底改变了我们的信息环境，如今我们不断受到新信息的“轰炸”。因此，正如我们需要更理性地控制热量摄入一样，我们也需要更审慎地对待信息消费，抵制精神 “垃圾食品” 的诱惑，以最有效地管理时间。)”可知，文章首先介绍了斯坦福棉花糖测试，然后类比到成人面对信息诱惑的情况，指出我们也需要像对待热量摄入一样谨慎对待信息摄入，以有效管理时间。因此，A选项“The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life(棉花糖测试：现代生活的启示)”最能概括文章主旨。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Human waste could help farmers Some types of farming are harmful to the planet. ___16___ A lot of crops need extra nutrition to grow, so farmers add substances called fertilizers (肥料) to their soil to boost plants’ growth. These are important because they keep crops healthy and make sure that there is enough food for people and animals. ___17___ Every year, farmers around the world spend huge amounts of money on a total of 205 million tons of fertilizers, leading to severe water pollution and loss of biodiversity. ___18___ They are mostly made in factories by burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals. Producing fertilizers takes a lot of energy and the whole process — from digging out the minerals to transporting the final product to farms — creates pollution. This pollution includes carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to climate change. Nevertheless, a method known as biochar technology, which is already used to make fuel, could turn human waste into a different type of fertilizer. The new study suggests this could be better for the planet and cheaper for farmers. Human waste is rich in nutrients which plants love. ___19___ Even worse, it can also contain leftover medicines, microplastics and poisonous metals. According to the new study, biochar technology can turn human waste into safe plant food. The process is called pyrolysis, where the waste is heated up in special tanks. ___20___ Besides, the waste is made into solid, dry blocks, which are up to 90% smaller and lighter than the original form, which would make it much easier to store and transport. A. Fertilizers are usually a mix of certain chemicals. B. What is beneficial to plants is beneficial to the environment. C. On the negative side, it can carry harmful bacteria and viruses. D. But with too much use of fertilizers, the quality of crops suffers. E. Unfortunately, they are expensive and come at an environmental cost. F. However, a new study has found that could change thanks to human waste. G. The harmful stuff in the waste won’t be a problem as it can be removed in the process. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。主要介绍传统化肥存在污染环境、成本高昂等问题，而生物炭技术可将人类废弃物转化为安全肥料，为农业提供新方向。（40字左右） 【16题详解】 根据前文“Some types of farming are harmful to the planet.(有些农业类型对地球有害。)”以及下文围绕“人类废弃物可转化为肥料”的核心内容可知，此空需起到转折过渡作用，引出解决农业污染的新方法。F选项“However, a new study has found that could change thanks to human waste.(然而，一项新的研究发现，由于人类废弃物，这种情况可能会改变。)”中“that”指代前文“农业对地球有害”的现状，“change”引出下文的新方案，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“These are important because they keep crops healthy and make sure that there is enough food for people and animals.(这些（化肥）很重要，因为它们能保持作物健康，并确保人类和动物有足够的食物。)”以及后文“Every year, farmers around the world spend huge amounts of money on a total of 205 million tons of fertilizers, leading to severe water pollution and loss of biodiversity.(每年，全球农民在总计2.05亿吨化肥上花费巨额资金，导致严重的水污染和生物多样性丧失。)”可知，此空需转折说明化肥的负面影响。E选项“Unfortunately, they are expensive and come at an environmental cost.(不幸的是，它们价格昂贵，而且会带来环境代价。)”既对应后文的“花费巨额资金”，也符合“严重的水污染和生物多样性丧失”，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据后文“They are mostly made in factories by burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals.(它们大多是在工厂里通过燃烧天然气并将其与矿物质混合制成的。)”可知，“They”指代前文提到的事物，且后文描述的是其制作原料和过程，结合本段核心话题“化肥”，此空应介绍化肥的成分属性。A选项“Fertilizers are usually a mix of certain chemicals.(化肥通常是某些化学物质的混合物。)”中“a mix of certain chemicals”与后文“burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals”相呼应，“Fertilizers”作为“they”的指代对象，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Human waste is rich in nutrients which plants love.(人类废弃物富含植物喜爱的营养物质。)”以及后文“Even worse, it can also contain leftover medicines, microplastics and poisonous metals.(更糟糕的是，它还可能含有残留药物、微塑料和有毒金属。)”可知，此空需承接前文的“营养优势”，转折引出人类废弃物的危害，且后文“Even worse”进一步递进，说明此空的危害程度较轻。C选项“On the negative side, it can carry harmful bacteria and viruses.(从负面来看，它可能携带有害细菌和病毒。)”中“从负面来看”实现转折，“有害细菌和病毒”属于废弃物的危害，且程度轻于后文的“残留药物、微塑料和有毒金属”，符合语境。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“According to the new study, biochar technology can turn human waste into safe plant food. The process is called pyrolysis, where the waste is heated up in special tanks.(根据这项新研究，生物炭技术可以将人类废弃物转化为安全的植物养料。这个过程被称为热解，即在特殊的容器中加热废弃物。)”以及后文“Besides, the waste is made into solid, dry blocks, which are up to 90% smaller and lighter than the original form, which would make it much easier to store and transport.(此外，废弃物被制成固体干燥块，体积和重量比原来小90%，这使得储存和运输更加容易。)”可知，此空需说明热解过程的优势，尤其是解决前文提到的“人类废弃物存在危害”的问题。G选项“The harmful stuff in the waste won’t be a problem as it can be removed in the process.(废弃物中的有害物质不会成为问题，因为它们可以在这个过程中被去除。)”既呼应前文“人类废弃物含有有害物质”，也解释了“转化为安全的植物养料”的原因，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my friend Leo was diagnosed with a rare heart disease, his family faced crushing medical expenses. Seeing his once-vibrant spirit ____21____ I was determined to act. I launched a charity run called “Miles for Smiles.” Organizing it was really ____22____: I needed volunteer coordination, community sponsors and most importantly, school ____23____. After carefully drafting a proposal, I ____24____ approached our principal. To my immense relief, he granted authorization without hesitation. The next week, colorful posters filled the hallways and students ____25____ enthusiastically; some even took the initiative to design ____26____ T-shirts for the event.

The grand prize was a gift certificate to a skate shop — an exciting prospect for both of us, since we were in need of new skateboards. The poster stated that all materials would be provided on-site, so we decided to team up. We brainstormed ideas beforehand. Ollie suggested a robot, while I thought of a tree, but we couldn’t decide right away. That night, I lay awake trying to think of the perfect sculpture idea. When I finally dozed off, I had a wild dream. Ollie and I were working on a sculpture of a fire-breathing dragon. It was so fantastic, we ended up winning first place. But just as the judge was handing us the prize, our dragon came to life and swallowed us up! After breakfast, when I told Ollie about the dream, he was crazy about the idea of a dragon. Though I felt a bit uneasy about the part where it gobbled us up, I agreed and spent the rest of the day researching. On contest day, I brought a perfect dragon picture as our guide. The area was filled with recycled materials — cardboard, containers, lids, used toys, and trinkets (小配件) — while each workstation supplied tape, scissors, glue, and markers. A woman in a hat welcomed everyone, encouraging us to work alone or together, with judging and cake at three o’clock. Ollie and I found a spot but got off to a very slow start. We disagreed on which boxes to use, struggled to attach parts, and couldn’t make our sculpture look anything like my picture. After a very long time of piecing and patching, our sculpture started to look the tiniest bit like a dragon. To make our dragon more lifelike, we racked our brains. Ollie noted that buttoned lids made good eyes, but we still needed a mouth. Then I remembered a big red zipper on a round table — it was just right! I hurried back to grab it. Paragraph 1: But just as I reached for the zipper, another hand appeared and picked it up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I was pretty sure Ollie wouldn’t mind a new partner, and luckily I was right. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But just as I reached for the zipper, another hand appeared and picked it up. I looked up and saw a girl in a pink T-shirt clutching the zipper to her chest. “Sorry, I need it for my monster,” she apologized, eyes wide with worry. “But our dragon still has no mouth.” I murmured under my breath. Just as I was about to turn away, I felt a pat on my shoulder. “How about we build together?” beamed the girl, pointing at her workstation. I glanced at her monster. It was awesome! “Sure! We can make a double-great monster dragon.” I grinned, “but I’m already working with my friend. Shall we go and ask him?” She nodded and we carried the zipper back to our table like a trophy. I was pretty sure Ollie wouldn’t mind a new partner, and luckily I was right. When I introduced the girl and explained the plan, Ollie’s face lit up. “A monster-dragon is great!” he laughed. The girl’s arrival flipped a switch — suddenly the work flowed, quick and light. We worked perfectly: I zipped the dragon’s red mouth. The girl cut the dragon scales skillfully. Ollie painted them shining green. Then we three stuck the scales on together. At three o’clock our double sculpture stood roaring and snapped in the center of the hall. The judge pinned the blue ribbon on our table with a thumbs-up, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” We high-fived, tasting sweet victory — and extra cake. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友奥利看到公园的“变废为宝”回收雕塑比赛海报（大奖为滑板店礼券），决定组队参赛。受梦境启发他们计划制作龙形雕塑，比赛当天因材料与搭建问题进展缓慢，后与急需拉链的女孩组队合作，三人分工协作完成“怪兽龙”雕塑，最终凭借团队协作赢得比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但就在我伸手去拉拉链的时候，另一只手突然伸了出来，把拉链拿走了”可知，第一段可描写比赛当天因材料与搭建问题进展缓慢，后与急需拉链的女孩组队合作。 ②由第二段首句内容“我非常确定奥利不会介意有新的搭档，而幸运的是，我猜对了”可知，第二段可描写三人分工协作完成“怪兽龙”雕塑，最终凭借团队协作赢得比赛。 2.续写线索：其他女孩拿拉链——邀请合作——一起完成雕塑——赢得比赛——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②解释：explain/illustrate ③点亮：light up/brighten 情绪类 ①担心：worry/concern ②极好：awesome/amazing 【点睛】[高分句型1]“How about we build together?” beamed the girl, pointing at her workstation.

These applications promise increased safety and convenience, yet they also carry potential risks to users’ privacy. This article explains how they work, their benefits, and how users can mitigate risks. How They Work Tracking apps generally rely on GPS (Global Positioning System) data, transmitted from a user’s phone or wearable device to cloud servers. The app then maps location data in real time. Some apps also integrate accelerometers (加速器) and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals to improve accuracy indoors or in dense urban environments. Perceived Benefits ● Safety: Parents can monitor children’s whereabouts, and individuals in danger can send location signals. ● Health & Fitness: Apps can measure walking routes, running paths, or sleep tracking by combining movement and location. ● Convenience: Friends or family can share location temporarily, easing coordination and meetups. Privacy Challenges ● Continuous Data Collection: Many apps collect fine-grained data 24/7, which raises concerns about profiling. ● Data Sharing and Third Parties: Some apps share data with advertisers or analytics companies. ● Data Breach Risks: If the servers are compromised, sensitive location histories may leak. ● Informed Consent Issues: Users may not fully understand what permissions they've granted. Ways to Mitigate Risks ● Use “only while using the app” setting rather than continuous tracking. ● Disable background location access when not needed. ● Regularly delete location history within the app. ● Choose apps with transparent privacy policies and minimal data sharing. Overall, tracking apps can be powerful tools, but users must be aware of trade-offs between convenience and privacy. Proper settings and careful app selection can help balance benefits with protection. 1. What is a function of tracking apps mentioned in the passage? A. Repairing damaged GPS signals. B. Blocking unwanted advertisements. C. Predicting traffic conditions in real time. D. Assisting in personal health management. 2. According to the passage which is NOT suggested as a way to reduce privacy risks? A Enabling background tracking when not in need. B. frequently clearing one’s location records in the app. C. Turning off location access when the app is not in use. D. Picking applications that are open about their data usage rules. 3 Where can we probably find this article? A. In a travel brochure. B. In a detective story. C. In a health newspaper. D. In a science magazine. B The Great Sock Mystery I had a serious problem. My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How peculiar!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 4. What drove the author to start the investigation? A. The sock drawer was often left open. B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer. C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks. D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house. 5. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster? A. Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock. B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits. C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear. D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks. 6 Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in paragraph 5? A. uninterested. B. uncertain. C. excited. D. confused. 7. What might the author do at last? A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks. B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter. C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster. D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment. C Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates, Amid falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is suspending the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts to humanities funding elsewhere. This depressing trend is part of a wider pattern. The deliberate commercialisation of higher education is steadily reducing the value of a degree to the bottom line of what job and salary it unlocks. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £ 100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the cap on tuition fees was lifted to £9,000. Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses — those which fail to deliver an instant graduation premium in the job market — are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating. The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr. Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Narrowing the humanities talent pool to a privileged group of students may be self-defeating. More importantly, it will sharply shrink the cultural horizons and options of those outside that elite (精英) group. After a decade of marketisation, a seriously utilitarian worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities 8. Why do underprivileged students hesitate at Arts and Humanities majors? A. They enjoy taking vocational courses. B. They may not make ends meet after graduation. C. They don’t understand the value of literature. D. They prefer a deliberate learning atmosphere. 9. What does the underlined word “premium” mean in paragraph 3? A. Degree. B. Position. C. Reward. D. Treat. 10. What outcome may the cut of Arts and Humanities courses bring to the non-elite? A. Self-defeating qualities. B. A depressing job market. C. World-leading talent pools. D. A narrowed cultural perspective. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Higher Education Sector: An Elite Game. B. Major Adjustment Policy: An Urgent Call. C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Major. D. Vocation and Marketisation: A Focused Trend. D The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 12. What was the key for children to get a second treat in the Stanford test? A. Selecting their favorite sugary snack. B. Remaining alone in the room for 15 minutes. C. Resisting the immediate desire to eat the first one. D. Following the instructions given by the psychologist. 13. What does the author imply by “a version of the marshmallow test” for adults? A. Adults are tested with digital devices instead of treats. B. Adults face more complex temptations than children. C. Adults must also delay contentment in the digital age. D. Adults are assessed on the ability to share information. 14. According to the text, what is the root cause of people’s struggle against temptation? A. The lack of self-discipline in our contemporary society. B. The mismatch between our ancient brains and modern environment. C. The overabundance of calorie-rich foods in the market. D. The constant bombardment of new information from digital devices. 15 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Marshmallow Test: Lessons for Modern Life B. Delaying Satisfaction: A Key to Success C. Why Our Brains Struggle in the Modern World D.

These are important because they keep crops healthy and make sure that there is enough food for people and animals. ___17___ Every year, farmers around the world spend huge amounts of money on a total of 205 million tons of fertilizers, leading to severe water pollution and loss of biodiversity. ___18___ They are mostly made in factories by burning natural gas and mixing it with minerals. Producing fertilizers takes a lot of energy and the whole process — from digging out the minerals to transporting the final product to farms — creates pollution. This pollution includes carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to climate change. Nevertheless, a method known as biochar technology, which is already used to make fuel, could turn human waste into a different type of fertilizer. The new study suggests this could be better for the planet and cheaper for farmers. Human waste is rich in nutrients which plants love. ___19___ Even worse, it can also contain leftover medicines, microplastics and poisonous metals. According to the new study, biochar technology can turn human waste into safe plant food. The process is called pyrolysis, where the waste is heated up in special tanks. ___20___ Besides, the waste is made into solid, dry blocks, which are up to 90% smaller and lighter than the original form, which would make it much easier to store and transport. A. Fertilizers are usually a mix of certain chemicals. B. What is beneficial to plants is beneficial to the environment. C. On the negative side, it can carry harmful bacteria and viruses. D. But with too much use of fertilizers, the quality of crops suffers. E. Unfortunately, they are expensive and come at an environmental cost. F. However, a new study has found that could change thanks to human waste. G. The harmful stuff in the waste won’t be a problem as it can be removed in the process. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my friend Leo was diagnosed with a rare heart disease, his family faced crushing medical expenses.

The grand prize was a gift certificate to a skate shop — an exciting prospect for both of us, since we were in need of new skateboards. The poster stated that all materials would be provided on-site, so we decided to team up. We brainstormed ideas beforehand. Ollie suggested a robot, while I thought of a tree, but we couldn’t decide right away. That night, I lay awake trying to think of the perfect sculpture idea. When I finally dozed off, I had a wild dream. Ollie and I were working on a sculpture of a fire-breathing dragon. It was so fantastic, we ended up winning first place. But just as the judge was handing us the prize, our dragon came to life and swallowed us up! After breakfast, when I told Ollie about the dream, he was crazy about the idea of a dragon. Though I felt a bit uneasy about the part where it gobbled us up, I agreed and spent the rest of the day researching. On contest day, I brought a perfect dragon picture as our guide. The area was filled with recycled materials — cardboard, containers, lids, used toys, and trinkets (小配件) — while each workstation supplied tape, scissors, glue, and markers. A woman in a hat welcomed everyone, encouraging us to work alone or together, with judging and cake at three o’clock. Ollie and I found a spot but got off to a very slow start. We disagreed on which boxes to use, struggled to attach parts, and couldn’t make our sculpture look anything like my picture. After a very long time of piecing and patching, our sculpture started to look the tiniest bit like a dragon. To make our dragon more lifelike, we racked our brains. Ollie noted that buttoned lids made good eyes, but we still needed a mouth. Then I remembered a big red zipper on a round table — it was just right! I hurried back to grab it. Paragraph 1: But just as I reached for the zipper, another hand appeared and picked it up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I was pretty sure Ollie wouldn’t mind a new partner, and luckily I was right. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
