D.Non-Profit Innovation. 23.What does Mosshammer stress to address the challenge? A.Increasing urban mobility. B.Offering affordable alternatives. C.Integrating diverse viewpoints. D.Consulting with the users beforehand. B One day,I was walking across campus when I spotted one of my students sitting on a bench, her face turned toward the sun,her eyes closed.I went over and asked if I could sit with her.When I asked how she was doing,she explained that her phone had"crashed",and she was bored. The moment reminded me how deeply we're shaped by the digital world.Our devices, including computers,smartphones and the never-ending flow of online content,keep feeding us fresh updates,training us to expect continued stimulation.We've become trapped in a cycle of response,as if any pause were a problem to be solved. My thoughts wandered back to my childhood-those afternoons spent staring out the window,doing nothing in particular.What felt like aimless boredom was actually a retooling period when my mind needed to reset before it could rediscover joy and invention.Before I knew it,I was building models,climbing trees,or playing instruments. "What are your personal interests?"I asked my student.Her eyes lit up as she showed me her amazing artwork."Have you ever felt bored while drawing?"I asked."Nevc,"she said,though ideas didn't always come easily."Does that annoy you?""No,"she responded,"because I know that something will eventually pop into my head.When it does,it's a real rush of satisfaction." That was it.That was exactly it.She needed to walk in the desert before arriving at the oasis ()She needed to experience a complete lack of inspiration before it struck her.This must have been what Ralph Waldo Emerson meant when he wrote,"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds...Improve them and they will become the brightest gems()in a useful life,.” As I left,I told her the truth:"I envy you"-not for her dead device,but for the creative space it had opened. 24.What is the author's main concern over digital devices? A.They cause unease during quiet pauses.B.They require frequent software updates. 扫描全能王创建 可只 C.They often stop working without warning.D.They may replace face-to-face interaction. 25.What role did boredom play in the author's childhood? A.It taught him to be patient. B.It gave him time to recharge C.It developed his rich imagination. D.It helped him avoid digital distraction. 26.What can we learn from the student's response? A.True artists never feel bored. B.Drawing requires special training. C.Inspiration comes after waiting. D.Satisfaction begins when desire ends. 27.What advice is the author implying by saying"I envy you"? A.Use phone less. B.Hold tight to youth C.Spare time for creativity. D.Search for more treasure. C Symbolic interactionism is a sociological perspective that examines how individuals use symbols to communicate and create social reality.Founded by sociologists like George Herbert Mead and Charles Horton Cooley,the theory focuses on micro-level interactions between individuals,emphasizing the importance of symbols in these exchanges.Unlike other sociological perspectives that focus on larger structures,symbolic interactionism looks at how individual actions shape social structures through meaning-making processes. It suggests that individuals act based on the meanings they attach to objects,people,and situations.These meanings,in turn,are constructed and improved through social interactions. Symbols,such as language,gestures,and objects,are central to this process,as they provide the medium through which individuals understand and interpret the social world. A symbol,in the context of symbolic interactionism,is anything that carries meaning beyond its literal form.It could be a word,gesture,object,or even a social role.Symbols are not naturally meaningful;rather,their meanings are socially constructed and learned through interaction.For example:a handshake is not just a physical act but a symbol of greeting, agreement,or friendship in many cultures.Compared with saying hello,shaking hands has more unexpected effects. Symbols are essential for human communication and interaction.They allow individuals to convey complex ideas,emotions,and intentions in a way that is understood by others.Language, for instance,is a system of symbols that allows people to communicate abstract concepts like love,justice,and freedom.Without symbols,human interaction would be limited to immediate, visible experiences. One of the most important ways symbols function in social interaction is through the construction of identity.Individuals employ symbols to express who they are and how they relate to the world around them.The clothes one wears are symbols,which signal one's profession,social status,or even personal beliefs and preferences.For example,a doctor's white 扫描全能王创建 可只 coat symbolizes medical authority;while a business suit might symbolize professionalism.So you have got the magic of symbols! 28.What's the function of Paragraph 1? A.To explain how to relate to others. B.To define symbolic interactionism. C.To tell how symbolic interaction formed. D.To compare varied sociological perspectives. 29.What does the author imply about symbols? A.They indicate how humans feel. B.Their meanings remain the same. C.Their forms are created by humans. D.They strengthen what words convey. 30.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4? A.The limits of human interaction. B.The disadvantage of lack of symbols. C.The role of symbols in social interaction. D.The function of languages in communication. 31.Which conduct can reveal the identity of symbols'users? A.A rich employer lights a cigarette. B.Policemen gesture to direct traffic. C.Students paint on school uniform. D.A doctor raises money for patients. D Polymetallic nodules(多金属结核)on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel,which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However,a recent study suggests these prized,potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow,one of the authors of the study,said researchers planted some water tight structures on the ocean floor,which were equipped with instruments to measure the property and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen.Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor.Typically,a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it.Yet,contrary to all expectations,they observed a rise in oxygen levels,a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him.Canada's The Metals Co(TMC)stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature,which 6 扫描全能王创建 the company labeled as "a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea mineral."TMC also said the method was wrong,arguing the team's findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean's Clarion Clipper Zone (CCZ)."The heightened oxygen levels are in fact erroneous in the data,and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,"said the company. Bo Barker,a microbiologist at Denmark's Aarhus University,said the study invited more questions than it did answers.He described it as a"novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear." For years,companies such as Canada's TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean's CCZ.The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal,but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 32.What can be inferred about the recent study? A.It cast light on new organisms. B.It capitalized on costly equipment. C.It consumed considerable time. D.It documented oxygen concentration. 33.What does the underlined word"erroneous"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Misleading. B.Pronounced. C.Precise D.Imaginary. 34.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Add some background information. C.Clarify some writing techniques. D.Introduce a new topic for discussion. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Minerals,a double-edged Sword B.Oxygen:The Lifeline for CCZ C.TMC,an Eco-minded Enterprise D.A Tiny Rock:A Big Wave 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Are you able to cook a healthy meal?Are you able to manage your money well?Are you able to sew on a button?36This highlights a significant gap in modern education,which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing,often at the expense of practical life skilIs. Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school,but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills.37For those without these basic skills,the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock.With restaurants closed and home services stopped,it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb.It's a shame that 扫描全能王创建 可只 schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks. 38For example,financial management fosters responsibility and caution,while lessons on investment teach wealth growth.Equipped with this literacy,students can better discuss financial goals with parents,and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending.Thus,in our complex world,schools must teach beyond academic subjects. After all,all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home.The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities.Many working parents lack the time,and some may not possess the proficiency themselves.39 Sandra Carey,a writer,puts it appropriately:'Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.One helps you make a living;the other helps you make a life."School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career.40 A.Thus,a balanced approach is needed early on. B.For instance,many communities offer evening classes for adults. C.Instead,it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life D.Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. E.Consequently,the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. F.By integrating practical skills,schools can teach a more complete set of life values. G.Yet practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago,as a shy and uncertain post-graduate,I took a decent job but felt like wearing ill-fitting shoes.Lost and 41,I waited for inspiration to strike.

Among the students were three close friends:Eric,Jason,and Alice.Though their personalities were quite different,they made a great team.Alice,the only girl in the group,was smart and well-prepared.She had brought along a compass,a map,and even a first-aid kit. After arriving at the campsite,the students pitched their tents,gathered firewood,and helped prepare a simple meal.The campsite was surrounded by tall pine trees and in the distance, a mountain stream could be heard.The teachers reminded everyone to stay within the marked area and never go far alone. After lunch,the students were allowed to explore in small groups.Alice's group decided to follow a trail leading up a hill.According to Alice,there was a small lookout point that offered a beautiful view of the valley. As they walked,Jason kept running ahead,calling the others to hurry."Let's see what's up there!"he shouted.Holding the map,Alice walked at a steady pace,checking that no one fell 10 扫描全能王创建
