When I was in university, I joined a nonprofit organization and volunteered for a project designed to help the often-overlooked communities in Romania. From special-needs adults to children who were homeless, volunteers of this organization sought to provide safe shelter for them.
Each day I was surrounded by 15-20 kids. I helped in the kitchen, taught English, played soccer, and even assisted in painting on a big wall. I enjoyed doing a little bit of everything.
When I arrived, the kids started the summer break, so I had more time to talk to them. I heard about their hopes and dreams and what they had overcome. Our conversations were mostly done using a Chinese translation app. We played lots of games and were very creative with our time. I was amazed how the kids had fun in the simple things. I also really appreciated how technology wasn’t taking over their lives. They didn’t have laptops and were only allowed to use phones when necessary. So I had more face-to-face time with them and I treasured all the genuine conversations we had.
During one conversation I had with a little boy named Daniel, he told me with quiet pride that seeing what I did here inspired him to become a voluntary teacher like me. His words, and similar remarks from other children, made me realize how these experiences changed their outlooks and future plans — many said they would give back to society when they grew up.
Helping others should never be a one-and-done action. Before I left, I promised the children I would come back — a promise I meant to keep, not a casual remark. The relationships I formed with them run deep, built through shared meals, long conversations and playful afternoons; because of that, I feel I have the responsibility to keep them over time. I plan to return to renew the relationships we created.
4. What’s the purpose of the nonprofit project?
A. To organize online education. B. To help the disadvantaged.
C. To provide technologies. D. To build new houses.
5. What do we know about the children according to paragraph 3 ?
A. They could speak Chinese fluently. B. They used phones frequently.
C. They had limited access to digital devices. D. They played lots of video games.

A. To prove their close relationship.
B. To praise volunteers’ contribution.
C. To show the boy’s future plan.
D. To demonstrate the influence of the volunteering.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience?

The film Love Youth tells a powerful true story about two brothers. The older brother was born with HIV, while the younger one is healthy. Years ago, their mother died of AIDS. The older brother, once given only three years to live, has defied the odds. He not only lives a normal life but also graduated from university. He receives free medication through a youth AIDS prevention program.
The film aims to educate young people about HIV and sexual health, breaking the long-standing silence on the topic. It draws inspiration from the Linfen Red Ribbon School in Shanxi province, the only school in China dedicated to children living with HIV.
The school’s founder, Guo Xiaoping, retired in 2023 but remains their guardian. “I dream of the day when this school no longer has to exist,” he says. “When every child with HIV can attend a regular school, and the next generation is free of the virus, I will retire in peace.” Over the past 20 years, the school has cared for 127 children. Today,65 former students are employed, and some have even started families.
In China, the overall prevalence of AIDS is kept low. Transmission through blood transfusions is largely stopped, and mother-to-child transmission is effectively controlled. Thanks to national policies, over 95% of patients diagnosed HIV are receiving antiretroviral (抗逆转病毒) therapy, and most have achieved viral suppression (病毒抑制). This means that, with proper treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives without infecting others.
As Han Mengjie, chief expert in AIDS prevention at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, says, without an effective HIV vaccine, education is the “social vaccine” against the virus, which exactly echoes the clear message the film conveys: education is the key to fighting HIV. Zhang Yinjun, the film’s chief production planner, explains that the real challenge in HIV education for young people today isn’t the untouched topic, but the deep-seated silence around it. As long as we promote understanding, acceptance, and love, we can end the epidemic.
8. What does the underlined phrase “defied the odds” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Achieved the impossible. B. Accepted the reality.
C. Followed the rules. D. Refused the treatment.
9. What does Guo Xiaoping hope for the future?
A. All children will study online.
B. There will be more schools like his.
C. Children with HIV can get free treatment.
D. Children with HIV can attend regular schools.
10. Why does Han Mengjie say education is the “social vaccine”?
A. Because HIV is too serious.
B. Because vaccines are too expensive.
C. Because education helps prevent HIV transmission.
D. Because schools should provide free HIV vaccines.
11. What does the film Love Youth intend to convey?
A. The free HIV test should be promoted.
B. It is important to support HIV patients.
C. The government’s slow response should be criticized.
D. It is important to educate youth about HIV and fight prejudice.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过电影《爱与青春》的故事,介绍了中国在艾滋病防治方面的成就,并强调了教育在消除偏见、预防疾病中的关键作用。
8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The older brother, once given only three years to live, has defied the odds. He not only lives a normal life but also graduated from university. (这位哥哥曾被告知只能活三年,但他却defied the odds。他不仅过着正常的生活,还大学毕业了)”可知,医生曾预言他只能活三年,但他不仅活了下来,还上了大学,这是超越了医生预言的“不可能”。由此推知,故划线短语意思是“实现了不可能之事”,与“Achieved the impossible”同义。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““I dream of the day when this school no longer has to exist,” he says. “When every child with HIV can attend a regular school, and the next generation is free of the virus, I will retire in peace.” (他说:“我梦想有一天这所学校不再需要存在。当每个感染艾滋病毒的孩子都能上普通学校,当下一代没有病毒感染时,我就能安心退休了。”)”可知,郭小平希望未来感染艾滋病毒的孩子能够进入普通学校就读。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Han Mengjie, chief expert in AIDS prevention at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, says, without an effective HIV vaccine, education is the “social vaccine” against the virus, which exactly echoes the clear message the film conveys: education is the key to fighting HIV. (正如中国疾病预防控制中心艾滋病防治首席专家韩孟杰所说,在没有有效的艾滋病疫苗的情况下,教育是抵御病毒的“社会疫苗”,这恰好呼应了电影传达的明确信息:教育是抗击艾滋病的关键)”可知,韩孟杰称教育为“社会疫苗”,是因为在没有有效医学疫苗的情况下,教育可以帮助人们了解预防知识,从而阻止病毒传播。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The film aims to educate young people about HIV and sexual health, breaking the long-standing silence on the topic. (这部电影旨在教育年轻人了解艾滋病和性健康,打破长期以来对这一话题的沉默)”以及最后一段中“Zhang Yinjun, the film’s chief production planner, explains that the real challenge in HIV education for young people today isn’t the untouched topic, but the deep-seated silence around it. As long as we promote understanding, acceptance, and love, we can end the epidemic.(电影首席制片策划张银军解释说,如今对年轻人进行艾滋病病毒教育的真正挑战不是未触及的话题,而是围绕该话题的根深蒂固的沉默。只要我们促进理解、接受和爱,我们就能结束这场流行病)”可知,电影《爱与青春》旨在传达对青少年进行艾滋病教育并消除偏见的重要性。故选D项。

The youngest members of society — children and teenagers — are growing up in a digitalized world, where they are increasingly dependent on electronic devices. Many children engage with screens as early as babyhood and early childhood. Instead of interacting with playmates, children often find themselves buried in single-player games. Even family dinners are now frequently dominated by screens rather than meaningful interactions.
Developmental psychologists warn that this phenomenon could have long-term effects. “Children need in-person interactions to build empathy and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.” He described in his article America’s Loneliness epidemic: What Is to Be Done?
Studies indicate that prolonged contact with digital devices during critical developmental years can influence the growth of the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and empathy. These changes may leave children ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of adult relationships, creating a cycle of isolation. Teenagers are perhaps the most at-risk group in the loneliness crisis. In the period of two decades, in-person social interaction among teens has dropped by 70%, replaced largely by digital communication. Social media platforms make it seem that people are connected, but they often make people feel worse about themselves and left out.
The damage to people’s minds is really bad. Depression and anxiety rates among teenagers have increased, and studies by Dr. Vivek link social media use to loneliness and confirm it. For teens, loneliness is not just an emotional state but a sign of life-threatening mental health crises. So it is essential to solve the problem of children’s dependence on digital devices through various approaches. These include establishing clear guidelines on screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can create an environment that supports the overall well-being of children.
12. What can we learn from paragraph1?
A. Young people lack self-discipline.
B. Young people rely too much on digital devices.
C. Children like burying themselves in interactive games.
D. Family members frequently have meaningful interactions.
13 What potential harm does the phenomenon do to teenagers according to Dr. Daniel?
A. Reducing their problem-solving ability.
B. Impacting the development of their social responsibility.
C. Weakening their ability to manage complicated relationships.
D. Increasing their struggle for self-independence.
14. What can be done to solve the mental health crises?
A. Having real-life interactions. B. Supporting digital exploration.
C. Encouraging tech engagement. D. Receiving specific training.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The growing use of digital devices among children.
B. Ways to enhance children’s social abilities.
C. The influence of digital overuse on the young.
D. The benefits of limiting screen time for teenagers.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead of interacting with playmates, children often find themselves buried in single-player games. Even family dinners are now frequently dominated by screens rather than meaningful interactions.(孩子们经常发现自己沉浸在单人游戏中,而不是与玩伴互动。即使是家庭聚餐,现在也经常被屏幕占据,而不是有意义的互动)”和第二段中“Children need in-person interactions to build empathy and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.”(临床精神病学家Daniel博士说:“孩子们需要面对面的交流来培养同理心和情绪调节能力。如果没有这些形成性的经历,他们就有可能成为难以处理涉及复杂社会互动和情感关系的成年人。”)”可知,Daniel博士认为这种缺乏面对面互动的现象会削弱他们处理复杂人际关系的能力。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中丹尼尔医生强调的“Children need in-person interactions to build empathy and emotional regulation (儿童需要面对面的互动来培养同理心和情绪调节能力)”和最后一段提出的解决方法“These include establishing clear guidelines on screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle.(这些措施包括制定明确的屏幕使用时间指南,鼓励促进社会发展的活动,以及教育儿童了解平衡生活方式的重要性)”可以推断,解决心理健康危机的关键在于进行真实的社交互动。故选A项。

While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. ____18____. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
●____19____
First, smoking is terrible. It isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking causes dry eyes, harms optic (视觉) nerve and makes eye disease worse,” says Dr. Akpek. Also, try not to rub your eyes. “The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get.____20____. Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes.”
A. Stop smoking.
B. Get rid of bad habits.
C. This leads to eye dryness.
D. It can lead to infections.

【17题详解】
上文“Dark glasses aren’t necessarily the most protective. In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. (深色眼镜不一定最防晒。事实上,如果眼镜仅仅是颜色深而不防紫外线,那对眼睛更有害)”指出普通深色眼镜的危害。G选项“Do buy sunglasses that can block out 99% to 100% UV light. (一定要购买能阻挡99%至100%紫外线的太阳镜)”承接上文,针对上文指出的问题给出了正确的选购建议,即购买真正具备紫外线防护功能的太阳镜。故选G项。
18题详解】
上文“While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. (虽然没有科学证据表明电子屏幕的光线会损害眼睛,但盯着屏幕看会让眼睛极度疲劳。原因之一是人们在使用屏幕时眨眼次数减少)”解释了屏幕导致眼疲劳的一个具体原因——眨眼减少。C选项“This leads to eye dryness. (这会导致眼睛干涩)”承接上文,用“This”指代上文的“blink less (眨眼减少)”,指出这一行为的直接后果(眼睛干涩)。下文“The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. (美国国立卫生研究院建议每20分钟休息一下,看约20英尺外的物体20秒)”则针对眼睛干涩和疲劳给出了具体的缓解建议,上下文形成“原因—后果—建议”的逻辑链条。故选C项。

Also, try not to rub your eyes. (首先,吸烟很可怕。它不仅对肺有害,还会伤害眼睛。“吸烟会导致眼睛干涩,损害视神经,并使眼病恶化,”阿克佩克博士说。此外,尽量不要揉眼睛)”整段都在列举对眼睛有害的不良习惯(吸烟、揉眼)。B选项“Get rid of bad habits. (改掉坏习惯)”作为本段小标题,精准概括了下文的核心内容,即指出并建议改掉这些伤害眼睛的行为。故选B项。
【20题详解】
上文“Also, try not to rub your eyes. “The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get. (此外,尽量不要揉眼睛。“你越揉,眼睛就会越不舒服)”指出揉眼的危害。D选项“It can lead to infections. (它可能导致感染)”承接上文,进一步补充揉眼可能带来的更严重后果(感染),从而强化了“不要揉眼”这一建议的必要性。下文“Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes. (相反,可以服药或使用滴眼液来缓解过敏或眼睛干涩)”则给出了正确的替代做法,与上文形成“错误行为—严重后果—正确做法”的完整论述。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了贝多芬的生平、音乐成就及其对音乐界的深远影响。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:路德维希·范·贝多芬是世界上最著名的音乐家之一。根据空前形容词famous可知,空处需用名词musician“音乐家”,one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”,固定搭配,所以空处名词需用复数musicians。故填musicians。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:几个世纪以来,他的音乐一直对人们产生影响。have an impact on...“对……产生影响”,固定搭配,所以空处需用介词on。故填on。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他的父亲也是一位音乐家,他认识到了儿子的潜力,并开始严格地训练他。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是His father,指人,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:他的父亲也是一位音乐家,他认识到了儿子的潜力,并开始严格地训练他。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词train,strict的副词为strictly“严格地”。故填strictly。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:他二十多岁开始失聪,这对他是一个巨大的打击。根据空前began可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,which指代前面整个句子,表示单数意义,所以be动词需用was。故填was。
41题详解】
考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意:他后来的作品,如第九交响曲,被认为是音乐史上最伟大的杰作之一。根据句意可知,本句陈述事实,谓语动词需用一般现在时态,主语His later works和consider“认为”之间是被动关系,所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态的被动语态:am/is/are done,主语是复数works,所以be动词需用are。故填are considered。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的作品常常具有强烈的旋律和复杂的和声,创造了丰富而充满活力的音乐景观。本句已有谓语动词feature,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,表示自然而然的结果,所以空处需用现在分词creating作结果状语。故填creating。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:它在音乐厅演奏,在音乐学校学习,深受各年龄段音乐爱好者的喜爱。根据空前后动词performed,studied和loved可知,空处需用并列连词and连接三个并列的谓语。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的生活和作品激励了无数音乐家追随他的脚步,继续探索音乐的边界。inspire sb. to do sth.“激励某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to follow。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:贝多芬的遗产不仅在于他的音乐,还在于他的毅力和创新精神,这给音乐界留下了持久的印记。表示泛指“留下了持久的印记”,用不定冠词,lasting是辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a,构成短语leave a lasting mark on...“给……留下持久的印记”,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry up, Oliver!” Mum shouted from the hallway. “You’ll be late for school if we don’t get going now.”
Oliver was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking down at his feet. Taking a deep breath, he slowly stood up and gathered his schoolbooks. After placing them in his bag, he took a long look around his bedroom and went to join his mum.
“Are you all right, Oliver?” Mum asked, her concern obvious. “Your father and I have noticed you’ve become very quiet lately, and you don’t laugh as often as you used to. Is everything okay at school?”
Oliver looked into his mum’s worried face as she put a comforting arm around his shoulders. “Don’t worry, Mum. Everything’s fine,” he replied with a weak smile.
Mum drove Oliver, who sat in the back seat in silence all the way, to school. Oliver watched the world pass by, deep in thought. He used to love going to school and he was always the one who would tell his mum to hurry up. As he stared out of the car window, he remembered that there was a time when he couldn’t wait to get to school and meet up with his friends. But things were different now. Oliver didn’t understand why things had changed or what he had done wrong. All he knew was that a group of older boys had started to make fun of him. They would call him names and push him when nobody was looking. They would hide his books so that he would get into trouble with his teachers. One day, they even put his bag outside when it was raining so that all his books got wet.
When the car eventually reached the school, Oliver quickly wiped away his silent tears and slowly got out of the car.
注意:1. 续写词数150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

____________________________________________________________________________________________
From then on, Oliver felt a change in his life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As Oliver walked into the school, he decided that he must do something to change the situation. He went straight to his teacher’s office and told the teacher everything that had been happening. The teacher listened carefully and promised to help him. She called the older boys into her office and talked to them seriously. She told them that bullying was not acceptable and that they would be punished if they continued to do so.
From then on, Oliver felt a change in his life. The boys who had been bullying him stopped when they saw that Oliver was not afraid anymore. He felt that he was no longer alone and that he had the strength to face whatever came his way. Oliver became happier and more confident, and he even made some new friends. He realized that by speaking up and asking for help, he could change his situation and make his life better.

When I was in university, I joined a nonprofit organization and volunteered for a project designed to help the often-overlooked communities in Romania. From special-needs adults to children who were homeless, volunteers of this organization sought to provide safe shelter for them.
Each day I was surrounded by 15-20 kids. I helped in the kitchen, taught English, played soccer, and even assisted in painting on a big wall. I enjoyed doing a little bit of everything.
When I arrived, the kids started the summer break, so I had more time to talk to them. I heard about their hopes and dreams and what they had overcome. Our conversations were mostly done using a Chinese translation app. We played lots of games and were very creative with our time. I was amazed how the kids had fun in the simple things. I also really appreciated how technology wasn’t taking over their lives. They didn’t have laptops and were only allowed to use phones when necessary. So I had more face-to-face time with them and I treasured all the genuine conversations we had.
During one conversation I had with a little boy named Daniel, he told me with quiet pride that seeing what I did here inspired him to become a voluntary teacher like me. His words, and similar remarks from other children, made me realize how these experiences changed their outlooks and future plans — many said they would give back to society when they grew up.
Helping others should never be a one-and-done action. Before I left, I promised the children I would come back — a promise I meant to keep, not a casual remark. The relationships I formed with them run deep, built through shared meals, long conversations and playful afternoons; because of that, I feel I have the responsibility to keep them over time. I plan to return to renew the relationships we created.
4. What’s the purpose of the nonprofit project?
A To organize online education. B. To help the disadvantaged.
C. To provide technologies. D. To build new houses.
5. What do we know about the children according to paragraph 3 ?
A. They could speak Chinese fluently. B. They used phones frequently.
C. They had limited access to digital devices. D. They played lots of video games.
6. Why was Daniel mentioned in the passage?
A. To prove their close relationship.
B. To praise volunteers’ contribution.
C. To show the boy’s future plan.
D. To demonstrate the influence of the volunteering.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Service needs lasting commitment.
B. Keeping promises smooths the project.
C. Short-term projects hold equal value.
D. Volunteering abroad is essential for university students.

The film Love Youth tells a powerful true story about two brothers. The older brother was born with HIV, while the younger one is healthy. Years ago, their mother died of AIDS. The older brother, once given only three years to live, has defied the odds. He not only lives a normal life but also graduated from university. He receives free medication through a youth AIDS prevention program.
The film aims to educate young people about HIV and sexual health, breaking the long-standing silence on the topic. It draws inspiration from the Linfen Red Ribbon School in Shanxi province, the only school in China dedicated to children living with HIV.
The school’s founder, Guo Xiaoping, retired in 2023 but remains their guardian. “I dream of the day when this school no longer has to exist,” he says. “When every child with HIV can attend a regular school, and the next generation is free of the virus, I will retire in peace.” Over the past 20 years, the school has cared for 127 children. Today,65 former students are employed, and some have even started families.
In China, the overall prevalence of AIDS is kept low. Transmission through blood transfusions is largely stopped, and mother-to-child transmission is effectively controlled. Thanks to national policies, over 95% of patients diagnosed HIV are receiving antiretroviral (抗逆转病毒) therapy, and most have achieved viral suppression (病毒抑制). This means that, with proper treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives without infecting others.
As Han Mengjie, chief expert in AIDS prevention at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, says, without an effective HIV vaccine, education is the “social vaccine” against the virus, which exactly echoes the clear message the film conveys: education is the key to fighting HIV. Zhang Yinjun, the film’s chief production planner, explains that the real challenge in HIV education for young people today isn’t the untouched topic, but the deep-seated silence around it. As long as we promote understanding, acceptance, and love, we can end the epidemic.
8. What does the underlined phrase “defied the odds” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Achieved the impossible. B. Accepted the reality.
C. Followed the rules. D. Refused the treatment.
9. What does Guo Xiaoping hope for the future?

The youngest members of society — children and teenagers — are growing up in a digitalized world, where they are increasingly dependent on electronic devices. Many children engage with screens as early as babyhood and early childhood. Instead of interacting with playmates, children often find themselves buried in single-player games. Even family dinners are now frequently dominated by screens rather than meaningful interactions.
Developmental psychologists warn that this phenomenon could have long-term effects. “Children need in-person interactions to build empathy and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.” He described in his article America’s Loneliness epidemic: What Is to Be Done?
Studies indicate that prolonged contact with digital devices during critical developmental years can influence the growth of the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and empathy. These changes may leave children ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of adult relationships, creating a cycle of isolation. Teenagers are perhaps the most at-risk group in the loneliness crisis. In the period of two decades, in-person social interaction among teens has dropped by 70%, replaced largely by digital communication. Social media platforms make it seem that people are connected, but they often make people feel worse about themselves and left out.
The damage to people’s minds is really bad. Depression and anxiety rates among teenagers have increased and studies by Dr. Vivek link social media use to loneliness and confirm it. For teens, loneliness is not just an emotional state but a sign of life-threatening mental health crises. So it is essential to solve the problem of children’s dependence on digital devices through various approaches. These include establishing clear guidelines on screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can create an environment that supports the overall well-being of children.
12. What can we learn from paragraph1?
A. Young people lack self-discipline.
B. Young people rely too much on digital devices.
C. Children like burying themselves in interactive games.
D. Family members frequently have meaningful interactions.
13. What potential harm does the phenomenon do to teenagers according to Dr. Daniel?
A. Reducing their problem-solving ability.
B. Impacting the development of their social responsibility.
C. Weakening their ability to manage complicated relationships.
D. Increasing their struggle for self-independence.
14. What can be done to solve the mental health crises?
A. Having real-life interactions. B. Supporting digital exploration.
C. Encouraging tech engagement. D. Receiving specific training.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The growing use of digital devices among children.
B. Ways to enhance children’s social abilities.
C. The influence of digital overuse on the young.
D. The benefits of limiting screen time for teenagers.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry up, Oliver!” Mum shouted from the hallway. “You’ll be late for school if we don’t get going now.”
Oliver was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking down at his feet. Taking a deep breath, he slowly stood up and gathered his schoolbooks. After placing them in his bag, he took a long look around his bedroom and went to join his mum.
“Are you all right, Oliver?” Mum asked, her concern obvious. “Your father and I have noticed you’ve become very quiet lately, and you don’t laugh as often as you used to. Is everything okay at school?”
Oliver looked into his mum’s worried face as she put a comforting arm around his shoulders. “Don’t worry, Mum. Everything’s fine,” he replied with a weak smile.
Mum drove Oliver, who sat in the back seat in silence all the way, to school. Oliver watched the world pass by, deep in thought. He used to love going to school and he was always the one who would tell his mum to hurry up. As he stared out of the car window, he remembered that there was a time when he couldn’t wait to get to school and meet up with his friends. But things were different now. Oliver didn’t understand why things had changed or what he had done wrong. All he knew was that a group of older boys had started to make fun of him. They would call him names and push him when nobody was looking. They would hide his books so that he would get into trouble with his teachers. One day, they even put his bag outside when it was raining so that all his books got wet.
When the car eventually reached the school, Oliver quickly wiped away his silent tears and slowly got out of the car.
注意:1. 续写词数150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Oliver walked into the school, he decided that he must do something to change the situation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From then on, Oliver felt a change in his life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
