Every December,dictionaries worldwide pick their Words of the Year-terms that
show how people talked and understood the world that year.In 2025,these chosen words
are quite special.They cover topics like Al and popular but meaningless online content.
Here are some 2025 Words of the Year from different dictionaries.
Oxford word of the year:Rage bait
If you've spent the year being fooled into feeling angry by a headline,video,or
image that is designed on purpose to ruin your mood,congratulations-you've been
rage baited.Oxford's pick reflects the rise of content designed to annoy or divide people.
In other words:the Internet's favourite thing.
Macquarie Dictionary word of the year:Al slop
Slightly more abstract,but still perfect-fitting,Australia's Macquarie Dictionary
chose a term that only could have been created in 2025."AI slop"describes
generative-AI output that feels lazy,empty,or just wrong.If you clicked on that video of
cats dancing,you've been a victim of AI slop.
Cambridge Dictionary word of the year:Parasocial
Cambridge went with a word that's been slowly building up for years:"parasocial."
Originally an academic term,it now broadly describes the one-sided relationships we
第3页共12页
form with creators,celebrities,and influencers.It's the perfect description for an era
where you know your favourite YouTuber's morning routine,or the personal details of a
TikToker's breakup,but they don't know you exist.
Dictionary.com word of the year:67
Honestly,we still don't know what this means,but Dictionary.com did something
different this year with "67,"a number that took on new meaning in 2025.While its
specific meaning is context-dependent-originally coming from TikTok--this choice
shows that language has developed far beyond just letters.
21.Which of the following is an example of"rage bait"?
A.A video of cute cats dancing online.
B.A headline designed to make readers angry.
C.An AI-written story with no real meaning.
D.A number that becomes popular on TikTok.
22.Which Word of the Year has an uncertain but context-based meaning?
A.Rage bait B.AI slop
C.Parasocial
D.67
23.What is unusual about the 2025 Words of the Year?
A.They focus on traditional culture.
B.They are all from daily communication.
C.They connect with AI and online content.
D.They are created by major dictionaries.

Maya Merhige is making her major waves in swimming.She is now the
third-youngest person to complcte an athletic challenge known as the Triple Crown.At
the age of 16,she swam 23 miles across the English Channel in the UK with a time of 11
hours,39 minutes.
Merhige had already completed the other two Triple Crown swims.At age 14,with
a time of 10 hours,48 minutes,she became the youngest female to swim the 20-mile
Catalina Channel in California.The next year,she completed the 20 Bridges swim in
New York City,a distance of 28.5 miles,in 8 hours,43 minutes.
Open-water swimming became her passion at age 9 when she got involved with
Swim Across America,a nonprofit organization that funds cancer research."I've been
feeling as I've gotten older that nearly everyone is touched by cancer,and it's become
第4页共12页
more important for me to raise moncy for this causc,"Merhige,now 17,told The Week
Junior:Since she started,she has raised more than $100,000
One of her favorite swims was crossing the 28-mile Ka'iwi Channel in Hawaii.She
swam it at age 15,making her the youngest person to do so.It took her more than 27
hours to complete it,and she faced strong winds and jellyfish.
Although the physical and mental challenges of her sport are difficult,Merhige
says her greatest fear is not finishing a swim.Now she sets her sights on completing the
Oceans Seven by 2029,and with her Triple Crown swims,she has four more to go.As
she considers the journey ahead,Merhige said it helps to "constantly remind myself to
stay in the moment..”
24.What do we know about the Triple Crown?

C.It is a swimming challenge.
D.It is an indoor competition.
25.How did Merhige's involvement with Swim Across America influence her?

A recent earthquake happened in California.Fortunately,no damage was reported.
However,the earthquake was important in another aspect-many people in the area
received warnings on their mobile phones just before the earthquake hit.Furthermore,
several of these phones aided in detecting (the earthquake in the first place.
Some smartphone companies have been developing a warning system that can
第5页共2页
remind users a few seconds beforc an earthquake hits.Although a few seconds may not
seem like much,it can provide enough time to take cover under a table or desk,slow
down trains,and prevent planes from taking off or landing.This system is expected to
save lives during stronger quakes.It relies on information from two sources:a network of
several seismometers (placed across the states,and the world's largest
carthquake detection network created through smartphones owned by the public
The mobile earthquake detecting and warning network uses built-in sensors
)on mobile phones to replace traditional detection instruments.The system can work
out whether an earthquake is happening and where.It can then send a warning to phones
in the area where the earthquakes are likely to hit.
Radio signals travel faster than earthquake waves,allowing warnings to be sent
before the shaking.This technology opens up the possibility of detecting the earthquakes
in regions where widespread networks of costly seismometers cannot be used,and could
provide earthquake warnings in even poorer places of the world.
The earthquake warning system has some limitations,particularly in regions with
low phone usage and in earthquakes that happen near the ocean,which can cause
tsunamis.Additionally,while the system can provide a few seconds of advance warning,
detecting earthquakes remains challenging.Still,there are hopes to expand the system's
usage worldwide in the future as long as we want to make a change in its limitations.
28.Why was the warning system invented?
A.To reduce the economic loss of earthquakes.
B.To buy more survival time for people
C.To raise people's self-protection awareness.
D.To figure out earthquakes'location.
29.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.Where the system is used
B.How the system works.
C.When the system will operate.
D.What the system aims for.
30.What is special about the system?
A.It can be used in wider areas.
B.It gives warnings days in advance.
C.It uses the Internet to send signals.
D.It shares information recorded by users.
第6页共2页
31.What will the scientists do to the system next?
A.Add the latest data to it.
B.Shorten its warning time.
C.Keep working on its problems.
D.Put it into computers instead of phones.
D
Quick:what's your best friend's phone number?Don't feel bad if you couldn't
answer off the top of your head.You have no reason to commit phone numbers to
memory:it's just there in your phone.Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store
them.In either case,an object does the remembering for you.
Prosthetic memory'(人工记t忆)is nothing new.Writing itself has been a means of
storing information.Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever
before.We are flooded with information.We're creating more of it,and keeping more of
it.The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed.No wonder,then,that
we're increasingly dependent on memory prostheses,from libraries to smartphones
Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good.Historically,memory
prostheses were expensive.As technologies such as printing and photography become
more affordable,sharing experiences with others is easier than ever.So every breakfast,
every sunset,every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media.And here comes
the worry.When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way,
something immensely valuable is lost;when recording so much of our lives,we're
forgetting to actually live them,and so disconnect ourselves from experience.
But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad?If we're still creating
and sharing memories like this,perhaps this is because we've not had sufficient time to
learn how to do these things without thinking about what we're doing.It is easy to ignore
that the mass social media era is less than a decade old.That's just a short blink (in
human history,yet it has totally changed how we live.I suspect we're not far off from
being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less
bounded by geography and time.After all,technology can protect all the moments of a
life that would otherwise be lost.

32.What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A.Technology weakens our brains
B.We are burdened with phone numbers.
C.We rely more on tools to memorize.
D.Technology distances us from our friends.
33.What does the underlined word"eclipsed"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.improved.B.undervalued.C.restricted
D.outperformed.
34.What negative effect does online sharing bring about?
A.An overflow of posts.
B.High cost of digital devices.
C.Addiction to the virtual world.
D.Disregard for authentic experience.
35.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A.Have faith in human brains.
B.Take time to adapt to digital age.
C.Quicken the pace of development.
D.Make efforts to enhance memory.

I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two
years..When people find I'm a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人),they always ask me,“How
do you do that?"Honestly,my answer will be,"I don't know.I simply love learning
languages.”
36 They want to know why they spend years learning even one
language,never achieving fluency,and what's the secret of being polyglots.
37 And what do we have in common?I decided to find that out.I went to
several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages,asked dozens of
polyglots about methods they use,and heard dozens of approaches.Everybody seems to
have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.
38All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great
fun.They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant
daily activity.You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their
colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards.39 The methods are various,
but they make sure it's something enjoyable.
I realized it's actually how I learn.40 Then interesting programs became
my choice.So all is clear.If you don't like writing words down on paper,type them in an
第8页共12页
app.If you're a shy person,apply self-talk at home.This is how polyglots learn
languages,and the best news is that it's available to anyone willing to take the learning
into their own hands
A.How can those with little talent be fluent?
B.But people are never happy with the reply.
C.There's no shortcut to learning languages for anyone
D.One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.
E.That made me wonder,too,how other polyglots actually do it.
F.When learning Spanish last year,I was bored with textbooks.
G.Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.

第四部分 写作
第一节 应用文写作(15分)
题目:Should Students Use Electronic Dictionary Pens?
写作要点:
利弊分析:
利:查词快速便捷、提高学习效率、发音标准、便于携带
弊:产生依赖、不利于培养猜词能力、可能影响拼写记忆、价格较贵
个人观点:可支持合理使用(强调辅助作用而非完全依赖),或建议视学习阶段而定
参考范文:
Recently, our class had a heated discussion on whether students should use electronic dictionary pens.
Opinions are divided. Some students support using them, arguing that these pens provide instant translation and standard pronunciation, which greatly improves learning efficiency. However, others worry that over-reliance on such devices may weaken our ability to guess word meanings from context and remember spelling.
In my view, electronic dictionary pens can be valuable learning tools if used properly. We should treat them as assistants rather than crutches, using them only when necessary while still developing independent thinking skills.
第二节 读后续写(25分)
故事梗概:Ren因童年溺水经历怕水,在游泳预考中被同学推下水后溺水,被Sadie救起并承诺教他游泳。
续写思路:
第一段:Sadie询问Ren怕水的原因→Ren讲述童年溺水经历/心理阴影→Sadie安慰并制定循序渐进的教学计划
第二段:体育老师吹哨→Ren在Sadie鼓励下勇敢跳入水中→Ren战胜恐惧游到对岸→感悟(友谊、勇气、克服恐惧)
参考续写(每段约75词):
Paragraph 1:
After gym class Sadie asked Ren gently why he was afraid of water. Ren hesitated, then shared a painful memory: at age five, he had fallen into a pond and nearly drowned before being rescued. Since then, water had become his nightmare. Sadie listened attentively, squeezing his hand. "I understand," she said softly. "But trust me, water can be your friend. We'll start from the shallow end, step by step. I'll be right beside you every second."
Paragraph 2:
The gym teacher blew the whistle and this time Ren dived bravely. With Sadie swimming alongside him, Ren found himself actually floating. Though his heart pounded wildly at first, Sadie's encouraging voice kept him going. "Kick your legs! You've got this!" Halfway across the pool, he realized he was doing it—really swimming! When he touched the wall, the whole class cheered. Ren climbed out, dripping but grinning. He had conquered not just the pool, but his deepest fear, thanks to a true friend who taught him that courage is not the absence of fear, but the determination to move forward despite it.
