He moves his little fingers like wings. “You are?” I say. I’m sitting across from him while he eats breakfast at our table. I smile; he says the greatest things. A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me, please.” A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. We always had dinner together at the table, but our other meals got much less attention, because my husband and I were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch. Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal, during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute. Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They’re busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal — not just dinner — we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.” I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot, so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me. Then, I reminded myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise. I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has not become filled with filth and muck. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me. “What?” I asked, amused. “Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.” I could’ve missed that. God, I could’ve missed that. 41. Before visiting the friends, Jack ________. A. didn’t like chocolate B. couldn’t eat by himself C. was sometimes rude to his mom D. preferred his mother to his father 42. After visiting the friends, the author ________. A. was determined to learn to cook B. asked her husband to have every meal with her C. decided to have dinner together with her family D. was advised by her husband to learn from the friends 43. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 mean? A. The house is still dirty. B. The house has been clean. C. The house is still crowded. D. The house has been quite empty. 44. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The best time to visit friends. B. A deadline for answering emails. C. Jack saying sweet words to his mom. D. Jack having lunch together with his mom. 45. What can we infer from the text? A. We should visit friends frequently. B. Kids should be polite to their parents. C. People are much busier than ever before. D. Families should try to have meals together. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过去朋友家得到的体会，进而改变了与孩子的相处方式。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me, please.”(然而，一周前，当他脸上沾上巧克力时，我舔了舔手指把巧克力擦掉，他说：“请不要把你的脏水抹到我身上。”)”可知，在拜访朋友之前，杰克有时对妈妈很粗鲁。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Then we went to visit friends for a weekend.

When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.”(然后我们周末去拜访朋友。他们有两个孩子。他们是忙碌、专业、好父母。每顿饭——不仅仅是晚餐——我们都坐在桌边吃饭。当我们回到家时，我丈夫说：“也许我们应该这样做。”)”可知，拜访朋友后，作者老公建议他们向朋友们学习——每顿饭都坐在桌子边吃。故选D。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第八段中“The house has not become filled with filth and muck.(房子没有变得充满污物和淤泥)”可推知，房子一直很干净。由此推知，划线句子的意思是：房子一直很干净。故选B。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数三段““Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.” I could’ve missed that. God, I could’ve missed that.(“妈妈，我非常爱你，我无法停止爱你。”我差点错过这个。天哪，我差点错过这个)”可推知，that代指上文儿子对妈妈说的“甜言蜜语”。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They’re busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal — not just dinner — we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.”(然后我们周末去拜访朋友。他们有两个孩子。他们是忙碌、专业、好父母。每顿饭——不仅仅是晚餐——我们都坐在桌边吃饭。当我们回到家时，我丈夫说：“也许我们应该这样做。”)”和倒数第三段中““Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.”(“妈妈，我非常爱你，我无法停止爱你。”)”可知，作者改变了吃饭方式，现在和儿子一起坐在餐桌上吃饭，儿子表达了对母亲的爱，这是在和儿子一起吃饭后产生的效果。由此推知，家人应该尽量一起吃饭。故选D。 C Most of us don’t put much thought into the way we smile when we have our picture taken or meet someone new, but a recent study by scientists in the US found that certain types of smiles have a better impact on people than others. According to the study, having a “good” smile is an important way to present ourselves well to other people. “A lot of people don’t understand how important their smiles are and how important this aspect of communication we do with each other every day is,” said Stephen Guy, a co-author of the research. But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion? A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3D animated face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”. After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression. It’s believed that the findings could be used in a number of ways, including making video game characters appear more realistic. The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes or other conditions. But Guy pointed out that nobody should feel bad if they don’t match up to his study’s definition of perfection. “It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,” he said. “Just because your smile is different…doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.” 46. The scientists’ conclusion is supported by ________. A. professional research that was conducted B. questionnaires collected by researchers C theories that have been proved D. experiments that were carried out in the past 47. What can we learn about a good smile according to the study? A. The broader your mouth is, the better your smile will be. B. There is no good smile at all. C. It has something to do with the angle of your mouth. D. The smile is bad if it doesn’t match up to the definition of perfection. 48. To which aspect can we apply the scientists’ findings? A. Bringing facial movement back. B. Curing severe strokes. C. Solving all kinds of problems. D. Playing video games. 49. What can be inferred from the passage about the study on smiles? A. It aims to establish a universal standard for smiling. B. It acknowledges the diversity of smiles while providing guidelines. C. It primarily focuses on the medical applications of smiling. D. It has been widely accepted by the public. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. What Are the Benefits of Smiling? B. Why Is Smiling Important? C. What Are the Different Ways of Smiling? D. What’s a Good Smile? 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了美国近期一项研究发现特定类型的微笑影响更佳，通过实验得出好微笑的嘴巴角度标准，其成果可用于多个领域，且研究同时认可微笑的多样性。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion? A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3D animated face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”. (但究竟什么是美好的微笑，科学家是如何得出结论的呢？802名年龄在18岁到82岁之间的公众观看了一张3D动画脸。这张脸展示了不同类型的微笑，研究人员要求受试者对这些微笑进行评分，从“令人毛骨悚然”到“令人愉快”。)”可知，科学家们的结论得到了专业研究的支持。故选A项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. (在分析结果后，科学家们发现，“最好”的微笑是嘴的角度在13到17度之间，嘴不是太宽也不是很直。)”可知，根据这项研究，我们可以了解到一个好的微笑和你嘴巴的角度有关。故选C项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes or other conditions. (科学家们还希望他们的工作能够帮助那些试图恢复中风或其他疾病患者面部运动的医生。)”可知，我们可以把科学家的发现应用到恢复面部运动发明。故选A项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. (在分析结果后，科学家们发现，“最好”的微笑是嘴的角度在13到17度之间，嘴不是太宽也不是很直。)”以及最后一段中““It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,” he said. “Just because your smile is different…doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.” (他说：“重要的是要清楚，不是只有一种非常非常好的微笑。”“仅仅因为你的微笑与众不同……并不意味着它有任何不好的地方。”)”可推知，在提供指导的同时承认微笑的多样性，既给出角度建议，又认可微笑的差异性。故选B项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“什么是好的微笑”展开，先提出研究发现 “某些微笑影响更好”，再介绍实验过程、好微笑的标准、应用场景，最后强调微笑的多样性。D 项“什么是好的微笑”：精准概括全文核心话题，从研究背景、实验、标准到应用，均围绕该主题展开。故选D项。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just over a year ago, my iPhone was lost. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse? I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone. One day after I made the switch, my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail. The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work. The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present, and other people—whether it’s a colleague or a stranger on social media—can’t enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent. Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone. 51. Why did the author buy the old phone?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________ 52. How did the speaker check his Gmail while at the museum?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________ 53. What do the underlined part “immerse yourself in” in Para. 3 probably mean?（no more than 5 words） _____________________________________________________________ 54. What is the last paragraph mainly about?（no more than 10 words） _____________________________________________________________ 55. What’s your opinion on smartphones? Please explain.（no more than 25 words） _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. To live without a smartphone. 52. He used his wife’s smartphone. 53. Fully engage in or focus on. 54. Benefits of not using a smartphone. 55. Smartphones are useful but can also be distracting. Balancing their use is key to maximizing their benefits while minimizing drawbacks. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己尝试不用智能手机的经历以及由此体会到的不用智能手机带来的好处。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone.(我决定试着在一段时间内不使用智能手机生活。所以我买了一部30美元的旧手机，开始了没有智能手机的生活)”可知，作者买旧手机是为了过没有智能手机的生活，故答案为To live without a smartphone. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail(到了下午，我开始表现得像个真正的瘾君子。我用我妻子的智能手机查看了Gmail)”可知，作者在博物馆时是用他妻子的智能手机查看Gmail的，故答案为He used his wife’s smartphone. 【53题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段“Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present (如果没有智能手机可以查看，你就没有太多选择，只能专注于当下)”可知，我很快意识到，不拥有智能手机的最直接好处是，你可以将自己沉浸在社交场合中。故答案为Fully engage in or focus on. 【54题详解】 考查主旨大意。最后一段“Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone.( 我想念谷歌地图吗？有点，但我也发现没有它开车更安全。我现在出门前会查看纸质地图并写下基本路线，这让我专注于道路而不是手机。如果迷路了，向人问路也挺好的。关于钱的问题：我的手机账单现在降到每月30美元。我没有数据计划，没有昂贵的手机要付款，没有应用程序要买。所有这些都源于不使用智能手机)”可知最后一段分别从驾驶更安全、话费降低以及不用花钱买应用等方面阐述了不使用智能手机带来的好处，所以主要讲的是不使用智能手机的好处，故答案为Benefits of not using a smartphone. 【55题详解】 考查阅读表达。根据第一段“I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone.(我决定试着在一段时间内不使用智能手机生活。所以我买了一部30美元的旧手机，开始了没有智能手机的生活)”、第二段“The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work(看到这么多未读邮件的最初兴奋感被一条与工作相关的信息破坏了。在接下来的半小时左右，我走来走去，想着那条信息，而不是在博物馆里。我身体在那里，但心思却集中在工作上)”以及最后一段“Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month.

Balancing their use is key to maximizing their benefits while minimizing drawbacks. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 56. 假设你是李津，你的朋友Jack沉迷于短视频而不能自拔，写信向你寻求帮助。请你给他回一封电子邮件。内容包括： 1.表示理解和关心； 2.指出沉迷短视频的影响； 3.你的建议和措施。 注意： 1.词数不少于150； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头及格式已为你写好，不计入词数。 参考词汇：短视频：short video ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jack I’m really sorry to hear that you are addicted to short videos and can’t get out of it. I understand your situation and I’m concerned about you. Being addicted to short videos can have many negative effects. Firstly, it wastes a lot of your precious time, which could be used for more meaningful and productive activities like reading or exercising.

Moreover, constantly watching short videos may reduce your ability to focus and concentrate on important tasks.

I’m sitting across from him while he eats breakfast at our table. I smile; he says the greatest things. A week ago, however, when he had chocolate on his face and I licked (舔) my finger to wipe it off, he said, “Don’t put your dirty water on me, please.” A week ago, I wouldn’t have been sitting here with him during breakfast. We always had dinner together at the table, but our other meals got much less attention, because my husband and I were so busy that we had to do the chores during breakfast or lunch. Why was I not sitting down with my son? It could take Jack an hour to eat a meal during which I could feel the tug (猛拉) of unanswered emails, a deadline, and the unswept floor each minute. Then we went to visit friends for a weekend. They have two kids. They’re busy, professional, and good parents. And at every meal — not just dinner — we all sat down at the table and ate. When we got home, my husband said, “Maybe we should be doing that.” I took this as criticism. My husband works a lot so mealtimes are mostly under my charge. The “we” he was talking about was me. Then, I reminded myself that I’m a big girl, and took his comment the way it was meant. We both want what’s best for Jack. Yes, I thought. I’m home. I have to eat, too. So I’ve been sitting. And, surprise. I haven’t missed a deadline. The house has not become filled with filth and muck. And Jack seems to like having me there. Two days ago, over lunch, he smiled and stared at me. “What?” I asked, amused. “Mommy, I love you so much and I can’t stop loving you.” I could’ve missed that. God, I could’ve missed that. 41. Before visiting the friends, Jack ________. A. didn’t like chocolate B. couldn’t eat by himself C. was sometimes rude to his mom D. preferred his mother to his father 42. After visiting the friends, the author ________.

C Most of us don’t put much thought into the way we smile when we have our picture taken or meet someone new, but a recent study by scientists in the US found that certain types of smiles have a better impact on people than others. According to the study, having a “good” smile is an important way to present ourselves well to other people. “A lot of people don’t understand how important their smiles are and how important this aspect of communication we do with each other every day is,” said Stephen Guy, a co-author of the research. But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion? A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3D animated face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”. After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression. It’s believed that the findings could be used in a number of ways, including making video game characters appear more realistic. The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes or other conditions. But Guy pointed out that nobody should feel bad if they don’t match up to his study’s definition of perfection. “It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,” he said. “Just because your smile is different…doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.” 46. The scientists’ conclusion is supported by ________. A. professional research that was conducted B. questionnaires collected by researchers C. theories that have been proved D. experiments that were carried out in the past 47. What can we learn about a good smile according to the study? A. The broader your mouth is, the better your smile will be. B. There is no good smile at all. C. It has something to do with the angle of your mouth. D. The smile is bad if it doesn’t match up to the definition of perfection. 48. To which aspect can we apply the scientists’ findings? A. Bringing facial movement back. B. Curing severe strokes. C. Solving all kinds of problems. D. Playing video games. 49. What can be inferred from the passage about the study on smiles? A. It aims to establish a universal standard for smiling. B. It acknowledges the diversity of smiles while providing guidelines. C. It primarily focuses on the medical applications of smiling. D. It has been widely accepted by the public. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. What Are the Benefits of Smiling? B. Why Is Smiling Important? C. What Are the Different Ways of Smiling? D. What’s a Good Smile? 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just over a year ago, my iPhone was lost. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse? I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 phone and began my life without smartphone. One day after I made the switch my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife’s smartphone to check Gmail. The beginning rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled (破坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work. The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don’t have much of a choice but to be present, and other people—whether it’s a colleague or a stranger on social media—can’t enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent. Do I miss Google Maps? Kind of, but I’ve also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it’s nice to ask people for directions. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy. All of these come from not using a smartphone. 51.
