Founded by Bridgewater in 2021,DSSC initially met with about 30 dads per event but skyrocketed in popularity after two online videos became hits in April 2024.It now attracts over 150 dads at events, where fathers bond over shared experiences and provide emotional backing for one another. DSSC's appeal is broad,attracting dads from various professions,including doctors,engineers,and electricians.The group emphasizes emotional support,with members regularly checking in on one another.As Shaw shared,the group provides a space where men can be open,asking,"How are you feeling?"Shaw,who joined the group when he first became a father,said it has made him more patient and understanding. Bridgewater,who became a certified doula(产t妇陪护师)to better support his wife through pregnancy,also ensures DSSC allows partners some time for themselves.At a May event,scheduled just before Mother's Day,mothers had the day off while fathers spent time bonding with their children. Brandon Shaw described the experience as transformative,saying it helped him connect with his own weaknesses,something he had previously kept hidden.He sent the letter he wrote to his father for Father's Day.It arrives soon.He said he doesn't expect a response and just hopes his father reads it.As Bridgewater puts it,fatherhood is just about "being honest and sharing". 32.What can be inferred about DSSC from the first two paragraphs? A.It creates a group of father influencers. B.It repairs broken father-son relationships. C.It promotes fathers'emotional well-being. D.It highlights fathers'vital role in childcare. 33.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.The severity of parental issues. B.The necessity to identify weaknesses. C.Bridgewater's devotion to fatherhood. D.influence of the organization on its member. 34.Which of the following can be used to best describe DSSC? A.Celebrity-led and trend-setting B.Profit-oriented and service-providing C.Group-exclusive and profession-focused D.Community-driven and emotionally supportive B Social media influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for brands to reach consumers.Influencers,with their large followings and the ability to engage audiences,are seen as powerful tools for promoting products and services.However,while influencer marketing shows great potential,its effectiveness metrics ()mainly centered around follower count, engagement rate,and reach,have significant limitations. These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach,but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement.For example,an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate,but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand's products.This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics,only to see minimal return on investment. This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense.But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals,such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups,it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities. In their current form,these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks.First,follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots,creating a false impression of an influencer's reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading,as some influencers may use tactics such as"like-for-like" exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers.Moreover,the concept of reach doesn't consider the quality of the audience reached.A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand. To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer's true value,several solutions can be considered.One approach is to analyze an influencer's audience demographics in more detail.Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age,gender,location,interests,and purchasing behavior of an influencer's followers.By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer's audience aligns with their target market. Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach,brands should monitor how many clicks, 4 purchases,or sign-ups an influencer drives.This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer's ability to generate business results.Additionally,brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies,to identify the most effective approaches. While these effectiveness metrics alone can't ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns,implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable.This, in turn,helps brands make more informed decisions,optimize their marketing budgets,and achieve better results from influencer partnerships. 35.The current effectiveness metrics of influencer marketing can A.help brands accurately measure sales growth. B.assist in identifying influencers with broad reach. C.guarantee a high return on investment for brands. D.Single out influencers that attract new users of products. 36.What can be inferred from influencers with a high engagement rate? A.They are capable of driving significant sales. B.The engagement rate may fail to reflect real influence. C.Their audience is interested in the promoted products. D.They have a large number of loyal and active followers. 37.What contributes to a more accurate evaluation of an influencer's value? 4..Focusing on the follower count and reach. B.Relying on the engagement rate as the main criterion. C.Conducting surveys about the influencer's reputation. 'D Analyzing the audience from more specific aspects. 38.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To compare different influencer marketing strategies. B.To expose the false data in influencer marketing metrics. C To present the advantages and disadvantages of influencer marketing D.To propose improvements for influencer marketing effectiveness metrics 0 Scientists are poor forecasters of the future.But two trends can be confidently predicted.First, the world will get more crowded.There will be more than 9 billion people by 2050.Second,the world will get warmer and some governments won't prioritize the long-term measures needed to deal with climate change,even though science offers us a road-map to a low-carbon future. That's why we should be promoters of new technology-without it the world can't provide the food and sustainable energy needed for an expanding population.But we should also be cautious,as new technologies,such as AI,may be hard to control.AI will undoubtedly become more aggressive in the future.Records of our movements,health and financial transactions will be stored in the cloud. The data may be used for justifiable reasons,such as protein folding and drug development,or to warn us of initial health risks,but its availability to Internet companies is already shifting the balance of power from governments to global-scale corporations. Actually,it's beyond Earth that Al has the most enormous potential.Humans may have established bases beyond Earth by the year 2100.But don't ever expect mass emigration from Earth. It's a false belief that space offers an escape from our problems.Dealing with climate change on 5 Earth is a piece of cake compared to terraforming(地球化)Mars. Nevertheless,we should cheer on these brave human space adventurers.They'll be ill-adapted to a Martian habitat,so they'll have a super motive to redesign themselves.It's they,not those of us adapted to life on Earth,who will pioneer the post-human era. If post-humans make the shift from flesh and blood to fully artificial intelligence,they won't need an atmosphere of even gravity,so it's in deep space-not even on Mars-that non biological "brains"may develop powers that we can't imagine.They may end up being mentally different from us.AI could jump-start a huge emigration and thus even more complex intelligence spreads through the universe. But let's refocus from the science fiction of the far future closer to the here and now.This century is special.It's the first,in Earth's 4.5-billion-year history where one species,ours,holds the planet's future in its hands. Our intelligence could initiate billions of years of post-human evolution,even more amazing than that which led to us.On the other hand,humans could cause biological,environmental or cyber catastrophes that foreclose all this potential.If science is to save us,we need to think globally, sensibly and long-term-empowered by science,but guided by values that science alone can't provide. 39.Why does the author mention the two trends in the first paragraph? A.To justify the governments'policies. 'B.To advocate for advancements in tech C.To criticize scientists'poor prediction ability. ..To highlight the challenges faced by scientists. 40.According to this passage,AI can A.put an end to climate change B.facilitate mass human migration C.speed up the competition in medical fields D.bring about potential threats from big companies 41.As for the future,which of the following will the author agree with? A.Post-humans will echo the history of humans. B.Complex intelligence will dominate the universe. C.Fully artificial intelligence may inhabit outer space. D.Non-biological brains may invite unknown disasters. 42.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Future of Humanity:Could AI Save Us? B.Towards a Sustainable Future:What Can We Do? C.Change or Die:Will Science Lead Further Evolution? D.Unstoppable Trend:Is Complex Intelligence Coming? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 6 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water.You get what you need,head to the front,and choose the line that looks fastest. You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot.43 It turns out,it's just math working against you;chances are,the other line really is faster. Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.44 Any small interruption -a price check,a chatty customer-can have downstream effects,holding up an entire line. If there are three lines in the store,delays will happen randomly at different registers.Think about the probability:45 So it's not just in your mind:Another line probably is moving faster. Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line-called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register.4c This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants.With a serpentine line,a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead,it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall. 4 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly,and some stores can't afford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be:Good luck. A.Why does this always seem to happen to you? B.So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines? C.Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour. D.The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three. E.What is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line? F.With three registers,this method is much faster than the traditional approach. G.But sometimes,as on a Sunday afternoon,the system gets particularly busy. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，27分） 第一节（共4小题；第48、49小题各2分，第50小题3分，第51小题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Crowd control could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest,as important as physical strength or watching the weather.In a single day last week,nearly 40 people reached the top of the world-a record.Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in the final dash for the 8,848-mneter peak. More traditional mountaineers have been concerned about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in recent years,and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous.In 1996,14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altituaes by sudden snowstorms.Bad weather in early May led to this year's jam on the summit ridge,but the loss,luckily,was light.Just four climbers died,including a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbs. Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve "firsts",rather than simply climb the mountain.This year's crop of mountaineers included the oldest man,64-year-old Sherman Bull from Connecticut,and the youngest,16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal.An American with only one arm was on the mountain this year;an Indian with no legs also tried but failed.Erik Weihennieyer,an American,became the first blind person to reach the top of the world.His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up,describing the type of land and ringing bells. Nepal views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow.The government charges journeys a minimum of 70,000.That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers coming next year.But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest,by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay,was cancelled after violent strikes.Tumultuous (Nepali politics,it seems,could be just the crowd-control measure that Everest needs. 48.According to the author,what skills are important for climbers on Mount Everest? 49.What are traditional mountaineers worried about? 50.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. The Nepal government cares little about the overcrowding problem because of its internal tumultuous politics. 51.Do you think it is a good idea to limit the number of visitors to a tourist attraction?Why? 第二节(15分) 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你的英国好友Jm在学校网站上看到了你校高二年级上 个月举办的校园英语戏剧展演活动(School English Drama Show)的相关新闻，对此很感兴趣， 来信询问相关信息。请用英文写一封回信，内容包括： 1活动简介： 2你的感受。 注意：1.词数100左右： 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 8 人大附中2025~2026学年度第一学期高二年级期末英语 第一部分：知识运用（共三节，41分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 1-5 BCADB 6-10 ADBCC 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 11.influential 12.completing 13.which 14.to educate 15.has launched 16.impaired 17.is expected 18.against 19.preferred 20.constantly 第三节（共11小题：每小题1分，共11分） 21.collapsed 22.integrity 23.coverage 24.faithful 25.facilitate 26.deduce 27.enlightened 28.convinced 29.originate 30.competitive 31.acquisition 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，32分） 第一节（共11小题；每小题2分，共22分） A:CDD B:BBDD C:BDCA 七选五：AGDFB 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，27分） 48.Crowd control,physical strength and watching the weather. 49.They are worried about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in recent years,and the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve"firsts",rather than simply climb the mountain 或者 They are worried that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous.They are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve"firsts",rather than simply climb the mountain. 50.The Nepal government cares little about the overcrowding problem because of its internal tumultuous politics According to the passage,the Nepal government cares little about the overcrowding problem because it views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. 51.Yes,I do.Long queues,limited access,and crowded viewpoints can diminish the enjoyment and create frustration.By controlling the number of visitors,authorities can ensure a more pleasant experience for everyone.Besides,this method can reduce the negative impact on the environment and promote sustainable tourism,allowing for better conservation and management of the site.
