At its core, media literacy means understanding how media works - who created a message, why it was made, and how it’s meant to influence the audience. Students are constantly surrounded by messages: some are helpful, others misleading. Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices. The good news? You can build media literacy into what you’re already doing, one step at a time. Use Headlines as Warm-Ups Start class with a real-world headline - ideally one related to your subject area. Ask students: ● Is this information reliable? ● Where did it come from? ● What might be missing? This five-minute routine builds awareness and can lead to great discussions. Compare Two Sources Pick two texts on the same topic but from different perspectives. This could be editorials, news articles, or video content. Ask students to compare: ● Language and tone. ● Choice of images. ● What facts are emphasized or ignored? This is a great way to teach bias (偏见) and point of view especially in ELA or social studies. Build Visual Literacy Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting: ● What’s the message? ● How is it being communicated visually? ● Who benefits from this image? This kind of analysis helps students read beyond the text. This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically. And when they see you do it regularly, they start doing it too. 1. What is the primary purpose of teaching media literacy to students? A. To arouse their interest in media. B. To enhance their literature skills. C. To develop their critical thinking ability. D. To broaden their general media knowledge. 2. Which technique of teaching media literacy is recommended? A. Using visual aids in teaching. B. Asking students to connect two sources. C. Providing materials that include pictures. D. Having students figure out better headlines. 3. How can teachers best stimulate students’ curiosity? A. Ask routine questions. B. Show, don’t just tell. C. Reward curious students. D. Tell, don’t just watch. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要阐述了媒介素养对学生的必要性，并介绍了将媒介素养融入教学的三种具体方法，同时强调教师示范好奇心对培养学生批判性思维的重要性。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices.(教他们分析、质疑和评估媒体，为他们提供了批判性思考和做出明智选择的工具)”可知，教学生媒介素养的主要目的是培养他们的批判性思维能力。 故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章三个教学方法板块可知，Use Headlines as Warm-Ups(用标题做热身)、Compare Two Sources(对比两个信息源)、Build Visual Literacy(培养视觉素养)均为推荐的教学技巧。其中Build Visual Literacy板块明确提到“Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting(使用政治漫画、广告或照片来练习解读)”，这属于在教学中使用视觉辅助工具。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically.(这是关于教学生保持好奇心，而你只需要示范好奇心。当你说“让我们弄清楚这来自哪里”时，你正在向学生展示如何进行批判性思考。)”可知，教师通过示范而非单纯说教来激发学生的好奇心，即“展示，而不只是说教”。 故选B。 B A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things, that doesn’t matter in the slightest. In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition. Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥) zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.” 4. What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1? A. Rare but tie to everyday life. B. Tiny but represent official records. C. Ordinary but hold special meaning. D. Historic but mask personal connections. 5. Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a point. C. To explore a rule. D. To clarify a concept. 6. What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project? A. History is full of injustice. B. History is made up of fun stories. C. Painful things should be left behind. D. All historical facts should be acknowledged. 7. What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do? A. Seek stories with an inquiring mind. B. Engage their family with better stories. C. Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. D. Study professional storytelling techniques. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一档电视节目及其展览，这一项目通过普通物品背后的故事展现澳大利亚的历史，既包含感人瞬间也直面黑暗过往，旨在鼓励人们以好奇心发掘和分享故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. (一封首相的信，一个孩子的笔记本，一枚珍贵的体育奖牌：这些东西有什么共同之处？从表面上看，没什么)”和第二段中“it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past (真正重要的并非这些物件本身，而是它们背后的人物和故事——正是这些构建了一个关于国家及其历史的故事)”可知，这些物品看似普通但有特殊意义。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. (通过海港大桥建筑工人George Killen的曾孙女拿着的纪念别针，我们听到了一个被遗忘的故事：一名工人如何无私地跳入冰冷的海港拯救朋友。事实证明，平凡也可以变得非凡)”可知，别针的例子用于阐明后文的观点——普通物品因其背后的人物和故事而变得非凡。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. (一些物品记录了澳大利亚历史上的重要时刻)”、第四段中“This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. (这并不意味着该项目回避了我们过去的黑暗面)”和第五段中“It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. (这是一个例子，说明讲故事可以弥合分歧，让我们面对现实，让我们做出可能在某种程度上纠正错误的选择)”可知，该项目既记录正面的重要时刻，也直面历史黑暗，希望人们可以面对现实，可推知Armstrong传达的讯息是“所有的历史事实都应该被承认”。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.” (当我问Armstrong他希望这个项目能达到什么目的时，他说：“我希望它能让人们讲故事。”无论你是让你的奶奶还是你的朋友分享他们非凡的事情，他的建议是“渴望发现，保持好奇。”)”可知，他鼓励观众以好奇心寻找故事。故选A项。 C On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides. When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. “But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired. Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies — including satellites that can see through clouds and at night — the researchers hope to enhance AI’s landslide detection capabilities. Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images — visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed. By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确度) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度). He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. “Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法),” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.” 8. What is the key value of Nava’s AI method? A. Ability to predict earthquakes. B. Low cost compared to new satellites. C. Potential to replace human responders. D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. A detailed description of how satellites operate. B. The advantages of visual images over radar data. C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data. D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection. 10. What can we know about Nava’s AI-powered model from paragraph 5? A. It is still in development. B. It has been used just once. C. It is an alternative of satellite images. D. Its significance has been underestimated. 11. What do Nava’s words imply? A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory. B. Developers should have more trust in the model. C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic. D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Nava团队开发的AI方法在台湾地震后探测滑坡的应用、优势及待改进方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.(剑桥大学地球科学系和地理系的Lorenzo Nava说：“但是用肉眼从卫星图像中绘制滑坡地图可能会耗费大量时间。”“灾难过后，时间真的很重要，”他说。利用人工智能，他在获得卫星图像后的三个小时内识别出了台湾地震后的7000处山体滑坡)”可知，Nava的AI方法的核心价值是处理大量数据时效率高。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed. (然而，雷达图像很难解释，因为它们使用灰度来说明对比的表面特性和景观特征也可能看起来很奇怪。这些挑战使得雷达数据非常适合人工智能辅助分析，有助于识别那些否则可能会被忽略的特征)”可知，该段主要说明需要AI解读雷达数据的原因。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (清晰度).(他在2024年台湾地震后的试验显示出了希望，发现了数千次山体滑坡，否则这些山体滑坡在云层下会被忽视。但Nava承认，要提高模型的准确性和透明度，还需要做更多的工作)”可知，Nava的AI驱动模型仍在开发中。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm,” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.” (“通常，决策者并不是开发算法的人，”Nava说。“人工智能可能感觉像一个黑盒子。它的内部逻辑并不总是透明的，这可能会让人们在根据其输出采取行动时犹豫不决。”)”可知，Nava的话暗示开发者和使用者（决策者）之间存在认知差距，需要弥合。故选D项。 D “When my husband does the dishes he always leaves some plates in the sink, some surface unwiped. I tried to correct the behavior until I remembered that if I finish everything in my Work in Progress folder I’m afraid I’ll die,” Sarah Manguso once said. Yet the truth is that completion recharges energy, rather than using it up. Perfectionists love to begin new projects, because as long as you haven’t done any work on a project, it’s possible to believe that the end result might match the ideal in your mind. By contrast, finishing things means struggling your way through the messy, imperfect reality. Social psychologists describe what’s going on here with “construal level theory”, which refers to the way we envision objects and events from different mental altitudes. For example, when considering how to spend your next summer holiday, you’re likely to picture it from 30,000 feet — “going to the beach”, or “hiking in the mountains”. But when it nears, you start focusing on details like which beach, or mountain trails. Similarly, any major undertaking starts as outlines, smooth; only when digging in do you face imperfections and then mistakenly assume that a new project might be free of them. And yet, in reality, repeatedly starting but rarely finishing things is a recipe for suffering. People think finishing things “would exhaust even more of their energy and they get tired just thinking about it”, Steve Chandler writes. They don’t see “that leaving things unfinished is what’s causing the low levels of energy”. The trick to finishing things is simply to redefine what counts as finished. Instead of viewing a project’s completion as only occasional, after days or weeks of work, think of your days as sequential (连续的) small “deliverables.” Each ending provides an energy-boost for the next. “Work is done, then forgotten,” says the Tao Te Ching (《道德经》), “Therefore it lasts forever.” You’re no longer fighting the current, but letting it carry you forward. 12. According to paragraph 2, perfectionists ________. A. see a job through its end B. tend to start new projects repeatedly C. focus not on the result but on the process D. solve problems efficiently without much effort 13. Which is the best understanding of “construal level theory”? A. Early plan simplifies tasks. B. Unfinished work exhausts energy. C. Abstract goals are less motivating. D. Judgement shifts with mental distance. 14. What does the underlined word “deliverables” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Tracking tools. B. Valuable parcels. C. Finished tasks. D. Demanding projects. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Truth of Completion B. The Power of Imperfection C. A Guide to Starting Projects D. Perfectionism in Daily Work 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过心理学理论分析完美主义者逃避完成项目的原因，指出未完成事项反而消耗能量，并建议将大任务拆解为小型可交付的成果，以通过连续完成获得动力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perfectionists love to begin new projects, because as long as you haven’t done any work on a project, it’s possible to believe that the end result might match the ideal in your mind. (完美主义者喜欢开始新项目，因为只要还没真正着手去做，他们就可能相信最终结果会符合心中的理想)”可知，完美主义者倾向于反复开始新项目。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social psychologists describe what’s going on here with “construal level theory”, which refers to the way we envision objects and events from different mental altitudes. For example, when considering how to spend your next summer holiday, you’re likely to picture it from 30,000 feet — “going to the beach”, or “hiking in the mountains”. But when it nears, you start focusing on details like which beach, or mountain trails. (社会心理学家用“解释水平理论”来描述这里发生的事情，它指的是我们从不同的心理高度想象物体和事件的方式。例如，当考虑如何度过你的下一个暑假时，你可能会从3万英尺的高空想象它——“去海滩”，或者“在山上徒步旅行”。但当它临近时，你开始关注细节，比如哪个海滩或山间小径)”可知，该理论核心是判断随着心理距离的变化而变化。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The trick to finishing things is simply to redefine what counts as finished. Instead of viewing a project’s completion as only occasional (完成事情的诀窍很简单，就是重新定义什么是完成。不要把一个项目的完成看成是偶然的)”和下文“Each ending provides an energy-boost for the next. (每个结束都会为下一个提供能量)”可知，此处建议改变对完成的看法，强调完成可以持续带来能量，由此推知，画线词所在句是建议化大为小，把日子想象成连续的小的“可交付成果”，画线词意思是“已完成的任务”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Yet the truth is that completion recharges energy, rather than using it up. (然而，事实是，完成任务可以补充能量，而不是耗尽能量)”可知，文章围绕“完成”的真实意义展开，批判完美主义者的只开始不完成行为，解释未完成事项实际消耗能量，最后提出重新定义完成的解决方案。因此，A项“完成的真相”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选 项 。 The adults in your life play an important role in shaping the person you are. Through their encouragement and guidance, they help you to flourish, learn, and grow. ____16____ There might also be times when your relationship comes under extra pressure. At these moments, it’s hard not to focus on everything they’re doing ‘wrong’, but there are ways to reset and remind yourself of what you value about them. ● Keep talking. It’s easy to lock yourself away when you’re upset with your parents or after an argument. It’s normal for healthy relationships to break down occasionally. ____17____ The key to communicating well is to be open about your feelings but try not to use your words to wound or punish. ● Why appreciation matters. Life isn’t always easy. But by looking for things to feel grateful for, you can reflect on the positives in life, even in the toughest times. ____18____ Building an attitude of gratitude takes time and practice. By noticing all the good that your parents do will not only build and improve relationships, but create a positive cycle, where everyone feels that their efforts are acknowledged. ● ____19____ It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. ____20____ Often, they’re only trying to protect and guide you. This can feel annoying when you want to lead your own life and make your own choices. But good communication is about compromise and can take a bit of practice. Remember that your parents are learning, too! A. That’s not to say this is easy. B Grow together with your parents. C. Parents always have the final say. D. Showing appreciation doesn’t require great efforts. E. The chances are, your parents are doing their best. F. It’s the making up and repairing part that’s important. G. Sometimes, though, you might forget your appreciation for them. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述生活中的成年人（如父母）对青少年个人成长的重要性，并提供三种方法帮助青少年在关系面临压力时修复与他们的关系。 【16题详解】 上文“Through their encouragement and guidance, they help you to flourish, learn, and grow (在他们的鼓励和指导下，他们帮助你蓬勃发展、学习并且成长)”说明了成年人对青少年的积极作用，强调双方关系中的正面。下文“There might also be times when your relationship comes under extra pressure (生活中也可能有这样的时刻：你和他们的关系面临额外压力)”则转折到关系中的负面，因此空处需一个过渡句连接“正面”与“负面”。选项G“然而，有时你可能会忘记对他们的感激之情。”符合转折逻辑。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“It’s normal for healthy relationships to break down occasionally (健康的关系偶尔出现裂痕是正常的)”说明了“关系出现问题很正常”这一观点。下文“The key to communicating well is to be open about your feelings but try not to use your words to wound or punish.(良好沟通的关键是坦诚表达感受，但尽量不要用你的话来伤害或惩罚)”指出怎样修复关系”，空处需要一个句子承接“出问题正常”并引出“修复很重要”。选项F“重要的是和好与修复的过程。”符合递进逻辑。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“But by looking for things to feel grateful for, you can reflect on the positives in life, even in the toughest times.(但通过寻找值得感恩的事情，你能看到生活中的积极面，即使是在最艰难的时候)”提出“要心怀感恩”的建议。下文 “Building an attitude of gratitude takes time and practice (培养感恩的态度需要时间和练习)”说明感恩需要时间和练习。选项A“这并不是说这很容易。”既呼应上文“寻找值得感恩的事”，又为下文“需要时间练习”铺垫，符合解释说明逻辑。故选A。 【19题详解】 空处为本段小标题。下文“It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. (记住，尽管你生活中的成年人看起来无所不知，但他们实际上只是普通人，有长处也有弱点)”指出成年人也有弱点，由此可知，“你”应该理解他们并与他们共同成长。选项B “和父母一起成长”既涵盖“父母是普通人（也需学习）”，又呼应下文“Remember that your parents are learning, too!（记住，你的父母也在学习！)”。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. (记住，尽管你生活中的成年人看起来无所不知，但他们实际上只是普通人，有长处也有弱点)”引导“你”理解父母的不完美。下文“Often, they’re only trying to protect and guide you (通常，他们只是想保护和引导你)”进一步解释父母行为的初衷，空处需要一个句子衔接“父母是普通人”与“行为初衷”，说明父母的主观努力。选项E“很可能，你的父母正在尽他们最大的努力。”符合语境，承上启下。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I scan the water in Australia’s Kakadu National Park, in search of an ancient ___21___: a saltwater crocodile (鳄鱼).

Hesitant犹豫的。根据上文“No ripples (涟漪), no sound.”可知，咸水鳄栖息的水域没有涟漪，因此是指看不见它。故选C。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它甚至可能现在就在看着我。A. leaving离开；B. ignoring忽视；C. watching看；D. attacking攻击。根据上文“just beneath the surface”可知，作者猜测咸水鳄在水面之下看着自己。故选C。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它们的眼睛和鼻孔位于头顶上方，而整个身体都在水面以下。A. head头部；B. body身体；C. tail尾巴；D. heart心脏。根据下文“is just beneath the water surface”以及有关鳄鱼的动物知识可知，通常情况下鳄鱼整个身体都在水面以下。故选B。 【25题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：拥有爆发性的尾部力量和在水下停留数小时的能力，它们的设计（生理特性）在9500万年里一直没有改变。A. food食物；B. design设计；C. shape形状；D. personality个性。根据上文“With explosive tail power and the ability to stay underwater for hours”可知，此处是介绍鳄鱼生理构造上的设计，指设计在9500万年里一直没有改变。故选B。 【26题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：简而言之：这些动物是为杀戮而生的。A. In short简言之；B. At last最后；C. On average平均；D. Above all最重要的是。根据下文“these animals are built for the kill”可知，此处是对前面具体的生理构造的总结，用“简而言之”引出总结性的“这些动物是为杀戮而生的”。故选A。 【27题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我继续扫视水面时，我看到了动静：一道柔和的涟漪。A. effect效果；B. conflict冲突；C. wonder奇迹；D. movement移动。根据下文“a soft ripple”可知，水面泛起了涟漪，因此作者是看到了动静。故选D。 【28题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：沉默的野兽锁定了我。A. jumps at扑向；B. locks onto锁定；C. counts on依赖；D. runs into偶然遇到。根据上文“Then, just a few metres away, two eyes break the surface as a huge head rises ever so slightly out of the water.”可知，咸水鳄的两只眼睛露出水面，一个巨大的头微微露出水面，此时它锁定了作者。故选B。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：再往右走几步，它再次追踪我。A. eyes注视；B. tricks欺骗；C. tracks追踪；D. freezes冻结。根据上文“I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows. Then a few to the right; and again”可知，咸水鳄跟着作者移动，因此是指再次追踪作者。故选C。 【30题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我不禁对这个古老的猎人感到敬畏，因为它一动不动，等着我犯错，等着我多走一步。A. deal交易；B. decision决定；C. mistake错误；D. comeback复出。根据下文“to take one step too many”可知，咸水鳄等着作者多走一步，等着作者犯错，从而伺机发起攻击。故选C。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它的耐心几乎无限。A. greed贪婪；B. energy能量；C. power力量；D. patience耐心。根据上文“it remains motionless, waiting for me to make a..., to take one step too many”可知，咸水鳄一动不动，等着作者多走一步，显示出它有无限的耐心。故选D。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在一个不断变化的世界里，我们总是在寻求创新和改进，很容易忘记有些事情本来就很好。A. balance平衡；B. freedom自由；C. tradition传统；D. improvement改进。根据上文“we’re always seeking innovation”可知，improvement“改进”可以和innovation“创新”并列，描述我们在不断变化的世界里的行为：总是在寻求创新和改进。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在一个不断变化的世界里，我们总是在寻求创新和改进，很容易忘记有些事情本来就很好。A. fine好的；B. strange奇怪的；C. flexible灵活的；D. sensitive敏感的。根据上文“In a world of constant change”可知，此处与“不断变化的世界”形成对比，指像鳄鱼这样的动物不需要改变，它们本来就很好。故选A。 【34题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当基础牢固时，根本不需要做太多改变。A. change改变；B. doubt怀疑；C. rush匆忙；D. panic恐慌。根据上文“When the foundation is strong”可知，当基础牢固时，过多改变是不必要的。故选A。 【35题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：看看鳄鱼吧（但请不要太近）。A. calmly冷静地；B. closely接近地；C. lovingly充满爱意地；D. nervously紧张地。根据上文“Crocodiles are among the world’s most effective hunters.”以及咸水鳄紧紧追踪着作者的移动可知，鳄鱼是非常危险的捕食者，看鳄鱼的时候不能太近。故选B。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Ask a Cantonese cook what “wok hei (锅气)” is, and the matter-of-fact description might refer to it as “that smoky flavor”. A more poetic one comes from Chef Steph Li, the owner of Savory Kitchen, ____36____ describes it as a quality achieved from “that ____37____ (mystery) taste of the restaurant oil and the ___38___ (noticeable) deeper restaurant browning.” My dad has always been a wok hei lover — that restaurant magic is his gold standard. Wok hei can only happen when food ____39____ (cook) at very high heat. Unfortunately, that heat is hard to achieve on a home stove top. ____40____ a professional cook, I’ve spent 15 years ____41____ (experiment) with wok hei in a home kitchen. Last year, I finally got there. The secret doesn’t just come from using a hot stove top. It’s also important to use the right kind of woks — and Steph Li expresses a preference for ____42____ (one) made with carbon steel. There are two extra things a home cook can do: One is to add soy sauce around the edge of the wok ____43____ (give) food a “seared (焦的) soy sauce flavor”. The second is to take a kitchen torch (火枪) in a method called “torch hei” — that involves spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet ____44____ “giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch”. When I cook with a carbon steel wok and add some seared soy sauce to the mix, I can almost smell ____45____ breath of the wok — and suddenly, it’s like I hear my dad pushing open my kitchen door, saying, “I like the food here.” 【答案】36. who 37. mysterious 38. noticeably 39. is cooked 40. As 41. experimenting 42. ones 43. to give 44. and 45. the 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“锅气”的定义、形成条件，以及作者作为专业厨师，分享在家中厨房做出“锅气”的秘诀。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李，他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Chef Steph Li，指人，且定语从句中缺少主语，需用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李，他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。此处修饰名词taste，需用形容词作定语；mystery的形容词形式是mysterious“神秘的”。故填mysterious。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：另一种更具诗意的描述来自美味厨房的老板斯蒂芬・李，他将其描述为一种“来自餐厅食用油的神秘味道和更明显的餐厅式焦褐色”所带来的特质。此处修饰形容词比较级deeper，需用副词；noticeable的副词形式是noticeably “明显地”。故填noticeably。 【39题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：只有当食物在极高温度下烹饪时，才能产生锅气。空处为从句谓语动词，主语food与cook是被动关系，且描述客观事实，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，food不可数，助动词用is。故填is cooked。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：作为一名专业厨师，我已经花了15年时间在家中厨房尝试做出锅气。此处表示“作为……”，需用介词as，位于句首首字母大写。故填As。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名专业厨师，我已经花了15 时间在家中厨房尝试做出锅气。spend + 时间 + doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“花费时间做某事”，因此空处用experiment的动名词形式，作宾语。故填experimenting。 【42题详解】 考查代词。句意：选择合适的锅也很重要——斯蒂芬・李表示偏爱用碳钢制成的锅。此处指代前文提到的woks，且泛指“某一类锅”，为避免重复，用代词ones（指代可数名词复数）。故填ones。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一是沿着锅边淋酱油，让食物带有“焦酱油味”。句中已有谓语动词is，空处应用非谓语动词，此处“添加酱油”的目的是“给食物‘焦酱油味’”，需用不定式作目的状语，故填to give。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：第二种方法是使用厨房火枪，这种方法被称为“火枪气”——包括将食物在烤盘上摊成一层，然后用火枪慢慢烤几遍。空格前spreading food in a single layer on a baking sheet和空后giving it a few leisurely passes with a torch是顺承关系，需用连词and连接两个并列成分。故填and。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：当我用碳钢锅烹饪，并在食材中加入一些焦酱油时，我几乎能闻到锅的气息——突然间，我仿佛听到爸爸推开我厨房的门说：“我喜欢这里的菜。” 此处是特指锅所散发的气息，需用定冠词the修饰，表特指。故填the。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假设你是李华，你校英文报现以“Visiting museums online: Is it a good or a bad idea?”为题面向全校征集稿件，请你写一篇短文投稿。内容包括： 1. 你的观点；2. 说明理由。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 In my opinion, visiting museums online is a great choice that offers many benefits.

He was very interested in adventure. This time he made an adventure on a sparsely (稀少地) populated land. In the cold winter, he tried a new place and forgot to bring his cell phone, the only time on the trip. He trekked (艰苦跋涉) more than half an mile with two dogs to a harvested wheat field. With his dark staring eyes at the horizon in expectation of another rabbit, Mr. Fairfax stepped on the thin snow on a canal. Suddenly, it collapsed (坍塌) and dropped him four feet to the bottom. Realizing that he was in trouble and was going to hurt himself, Mr. Fairfax was suddenly picking up a lot of speed. His left leg hit first, and he lay on his side to reach for his shotgun, unloaded it and used it as a crutch (拐杖). He spent an hour and a half climbing the canal but slipped and slid back down when he was partly up. This time, one of his feet got fixed between two rocks. Mr. Fairfax told himself that if he didn’t get himself out of that canal, he wasn’t going to have a very good night. Mr. Fairfax walked his foot free and climbed more slowly and cautiously out of the canal. He immediately realized the difficulty of the task before him. The accident occurred about 2 p.m., and it was nearing 5 p.m. with the road far away as the sun was setting. Mr. Fairfax focused on crawling to safety. Even with his gun supporting him, hopping was impractical. Instead, he sat down and pushed himself backward less than 40 inches at a time with his good leg. He was determined and sure that he must hold on. He was in exhaustion and had more frequent breaks. Temperatures dropped overnight, and his gloves and boots got wet. His hands and feet soon were completely numb. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 Mr. Fairfax’s dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 However, gleams (微光) of daylight remained — Mr. Fairfax saw the sixth car. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1 Mr. Fairfax’s dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him. The two dogs surrounded his body to warm him while barking wildly. Mr. Fairfax finally struggled to the fence near the road with the help of the dogs. Despite his exhaustion and painful leg, he still tried to wave down a driver for fear that he might lose consciousness at any time. He waved wildly and shouted loudly, but in vain. When the fifth car passed without stopping, his heart sank in despair. Para. 2 However, gleams (微光) of daylight remained — Mr. Fairfax saw the sixth car. Mustering up all his strength and courage, he waved wildly again. Fortunately, this time the car stopped and the driver rolled down the window to ask him what was wrong. After realizing Mr. Fairfax’s situation, the driver jumped off, assisting him onto the back seat with his two lovely dogs. With tears welling up in his eyes, Mr. Fairfax expressed his gratitude in a week voice. Finally, he got rescued and cured. From then on, whenever he was confronted with a terrible situation, he would encourage himself with the accident. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，65岁的费尔法克斯先生从教学岗位退休，他对冒险很感兴趣，于是带着两只狗去一片人烟稀少的土地上冒险。但是他遇到了危险，掉到了冰冷的河里，他努力的爬出水面，去寻求帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“费尔法克斯先生的狗一直在田里玩耍，最终向他走来”可知，第一段可描写作费尔法克斯先生向路过的车辆寻求帮助，但是过去的五辆车都没有停下来，他很绝望。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，阳光依旧——费尔法克斯先生看到了第六辆车”可知，第二段可描写第六辆汽车的司机停了下来，救助了费尔法克斯先生，以及他对司机的感激之情，最后，他获救并被治愈。 2.续写线索：求救——绝望——第六辆车停了下来——感激之情——被救治 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.鼓励：motivate/encourage 2.涌出：well up/blow over 3.表达：show/express 情绪类 1.可爱的：lovely/loveable 2.绝望：in despair /disappointed 【点睛】[高分句型1].

At its core, media literacy means understanding how media works - who created a message, why it was made, and how it’s meant to influence the audience. Students are constantly surrounded by messages: some are helpful, others misleading. Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices. The good news? You can build media literacy into what you’re already doing, one step at a time. Use Headlines as Warm-Ups Start class with a real-world headline - ideally one related to your subject area. Ask students: ● Is this information reliable? ● Where did it come from? ● What might be missing? This five-minute routine builds awareness and can lead to great discussions Compare Two Sources Pick two texts on the same topic but from different perspectives. This could be editorials, news articles, or video content. Ask students to compare: ● Language and tone. ● Choice of images. ● What facts are emphasized or ignored? This is a great way to teach bias (偏见) and point of view, especially in ELA or social studies. Build Visual Literacy Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting: ● What’s the message? ● How is it being communicated visually? ● Who benefits from this image? This kind of analysis helps students read beyond the text. This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically. And when they see you do it regularly, they start doing it too. 1. What is the primary purpose of teaching media literacy to students? A. To arouse their interest in media. B. To enhance their literature skills. C. To develop their critical thinking ability. D. To broaden their general media knowledge. 2. Which technique of teaching media literacy is recommended? A. Using visual aids in teaching. B. Asking students to connect two sources. C. Providing materials that include pictures. D. Having students figure out better headlines. 3. How can teachers best stimulate students’ curiosity? A. Ask routine questions. B. Show, don’t just tell. C. Reward curious students. D. Tell, don’t just watch. B A letter from a prime minister, a child’s notebook, a prized sporting medal: what do these things have in common? On the surface, not much at all. But for Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things, that doesn’t matter in the slightest. In this five-part ABC TV series and accompanying exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, it’s not really the objects themselves that matter; it’s the stories and people behind them that construct a story about the nation and its past. This project sees popular television presenter Tony Armstrong travel the country in search of items for his special exhibition. Some objects capture major moments in Australian history. The anti-Iraq war protest that saw the words NO WAR painted on the sails of the Sydney Opera House in 2003 is represented by the paint tray used for the act. Through a memorial pin held by Harbour Bridge construction worker George Killen’s great-granddaughter, we hear the forgotten story of how one worker selflessly dived into the cold waters of the harbour below to save a friend. Turns out, the ordinary can be extra-ordinary. This doesn’t mean the project shies away from the dark aspects of our past. In one episode, Armstrong speaks from the edge of the “exclusion (排斥) zone” that marked the area in Perth where First Nations people, only seventy years ago, were not permitted to enter freely. Sometimes light-hearted, sometimes heart-breaking, Extra-Ordinary Things is largely optimistic in tone. It is an example of how storytelling can bridge divides, allow us to confront realities, and enable us to make choices that might go some way to addressing wrongs. When I asked Armstrong what he hoped the project would achieve, he said: “I hope it gets people telling stories.” Whether you’re asking your grandma or your friends to share their extraordinary things, his advice is to “be eager to discover, be curious.” 4. What do we know about the objects listed in paragraph 1? A. Rare but tie to everyday life. B. Tiny but represent official records. C. Ordinary but hold special meaning. D. Historic but mask personal connections. 5. Why is the memorial pin mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a point. C To explore a rule. D. To clarify a concept. 6. What message does Armstrong want to convey in his project? A. History is full of injustice. B. History is made up of fun stories. C. Painful things should be left behind. D. All historical facts should be acknowledged. 7 What does Armstrong encourage viewers to do? A. Seek stories with an inquiring mind. B. Engage their family with better stories. C. Collect ordinary items for the exhibition. D. Study professional storytelling techniques. C On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides. When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. “But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired. Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies — including satellites that can see through clouds and at night — the researchers hope to enhance AI’s landslide detection capabilities. Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images — visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed. By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确度) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度). He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. “Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法),” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.” 8. What is the key value of Nava’s AI method? A. Ability to predict earthquakes. B. Low cost compared to new satellites. C. Potential to replace human responders. D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. A detailed description of how satellites operate. B. The advantages of visual images over radar data. C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data. D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection. 10. What can we know about Nava’s AI-powered model from paragraph 5? A. It is still in development. B. It has been used just once. C. It is an alternative of satellite images. D. Its significance has been underestimated. 11. What do Nava’s words imply? A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory. B. Developers should have more trust in the model. C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic. D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged. D “When my husband does the dishes he always leaves some plates in the sink, some surface unwiped. I tried to correct the behavior until I remembered that if I finish everything in my Work in Progress folder I’m afraid I’ll die,” Sarah Manguso once said. Yet the truth is that completion recharges energy, rather than using it up. Perfectionists love to begin new projects, because as long as you haven’t done any work on a project, it’s possible to believe that the end result might match the ideal in your mind. By contrast, finishing things means struggling your way through the messy, imperfect reality. Social psychologists describe what’s going on here with “construal level theory”, which refers to the way we envision objects and events from different mental altitudes. For example, when considering how to spend your next summer holiday, you’re likely to picture it from 30,000 feet — “going to the beach”, or “hiking in the mountains”. But when it nears, you start focusing on details like which beach, or mountain trails. Similarly, any major undertaking starts as outlines, smooth; only when digging in do you face imperfections and then mistakenly assume that a new project might be free of them. And yet, in reality, repeatedly starting but rarely finishing things is a recipe for suffering. People think finishing things “would exhaust even more of their energy and they get tired just thinking about it”, Steve Chandler writes. They don’t see “that leaving things unfinished is what’s causing the low levels of energy”. The trick to finishing things is simply to redefine what counts as finished. Instead of viewing a project’s completion as only occasional, after days or weeks of work, think of your days as sequential (连续的) small “deliverables.” Each ending provides an energy-boost for the next. “Work is done, then forgotten,” says the Tao Te Ching (《道德经》), “Therefore it lasts forever.” You’re no longer fighting the current, but letting it carry you forward. 12. According to paragraph 2, perfectionists ________. A. see a job through its end B. tend to start new projects repeatedly C. focus not on the result but on the process D. solve problems efficiently without much effort 13. Which is the best understanding of “construal level theory”? A. Early plan simplifies tasks. B. Unfinished work exhausts energy. C. Abstract goals are less motivating. D. Judgement shifts with mental distance. 14. What does the underlined word “deliverables” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Tracking tools. B. Valuable parcels. C. Finished tasks. D. Demanding projects. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Truth of Completion B. The Power of Imperfection C. A Guide to Starting Projects D. Perfectionism in Daily Work 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选 项 。 The adults in your life play an important role in shaping the person you are. Through their encouragement and guidance, they help you to flourish, learn, and grow. ____16____ There might also be times when your relationship comes under extra pressure. At these moments, it’s hard not to focus on everything they’re doing ‘wrong’, but there are ways to reset and remind yourself of what you value about them. ● Keep talking.

A more poetic one comes from Chef Steph Li, the owner of Savory Kitchen, ____36____ describes it as a quality achieved from “that ____37____ (mystery) taste of the restaurant oil and the ___38___ (noticeable) deeper restaurant browning.” My dad has always been a wok hei lover — that restaurant magic is his gold standard.

He was very interested in adventure. This time he made an adventure on a sparsely (稀少地) populated land. In the cold winter, he tried a new place and forgot to bring his cell phone, the only time on the trip. He trekked (艰苦跋涉) more than half an mile with two dogs to a harvested wheat field. With his dark staring eyes at the horizon in expectation of another rabbit, Mr. Fairfax stepped on the thin snow on a canal. Suddenly, it collapsed (坍塌) and dropped him four feet to the bottom. Realizing that he was in trouble and was going to hurt himself, Mr. Fairfax was suddenly picking up a lot of speed. His left leg hit first, and he lay on his side to reach for his shotgun, unloaded it and used it as a crutch (拐杖). He spent an hour and a half climbing the canal but slipped and slid back down when he was partly up. This time, one of his feet got fixed between two rocks. Mr. Fairfax told himself that if he didn’t get himself out of that canal, he wasn’t going to have a very good night. Mr. Fairfax walked his foot free and climbed more slowly and cautiously out of the canal. He immediately realized the difficulty of the task before him. The accident occurred about 2 p.m., and it was nearing 5 p.m. with the road far away as the sun was setting. Mr. Fairfax focused on crawling to safety. Even with his gun supporting him, hopping was impractical. Instead, he sat down and pushed himself backward less than 40 inches at a time with his good leg. He was determined and sure that he must hold on. He was in exhaustion and had more frequent breaks. Temperatures dropped overnight, and his gloves and boots got wet. His hands and feet soon were completely numb. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 Mr. Fairfax’s dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 However, gleams (微光) of daylight remained — Mr. Fairfax saw the sixth car. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
