I cannot remember a point in my life when I desired anything other than becoming a teacher. At the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to the University of Connecticut, not realizing how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet.
I wasn’t the smartest person in my class but I was determined. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.
After the holidays, my friends started receiving their acceptance letters from colleges, and I eagerly anticipated mine. Finally, a letter arrived from the University of Connecticut. Feelings of fear and joy overwhelmed me when I opened the envelope with trembling hands. I had done it! I had been working a full-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition, and it was impossible for my parents to finance my education.
Months went by before a letter from the financial aid office arrived. I opened it eagerly, but it was only a letter requesting more information to process my application. This happened over and over, and my hopes kept getting shot down. Finally, a large envelope arrived, the one that would determine whether I could attend college. Not only was financial aid going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.
I am now a junior at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a degree in English.
4. What was the author’s main trouble in realizing her dream?
A. Her family was short of money. B. She lacked determination.
C. She didn’t know which university to apply to. D. Her parents disapproved of her attending university.
5. How did the author get money for her tuition fees?
A. By taking up part-time jobs. B. By receiving her parents’ support.
C. By turning to her guidance counselor for help. D. By applying for scholarships and financial aid.
6 Why did the financial aid office send the author the first letter?
A. To test her determination. B. To inform her of their refusal.
C. To ask for supplemental information. D. To check the process of her application.
7. What does the author want to convey by sharing her story?
A. More haste, less speed. B. Never say never.
C. Aiming higher, achieving more. D. Pride hurts, modesty benefits.

TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager’s accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.
The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children’s videos entirely or to limit them to friends only. Parents whose accounts are linked to their kids will also be able to set their accounts to private, turn off the search function for content, users or sounds, and limit who can see which videos their children have liked.
Launched in March the Family Pairing tool lets parents see how long their children are spending on TikTok each day and limit the content they can see.
TikTok allows children to register and create an account if they’re over the age of 13. All they need to do is provide their date of birth. However, because TikTok doesn’t require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age, according to U. K. regulator Ofcom.
Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.
“If we’re thinking about it as a toolbox, we wanted to offer more tools,” she said on a video call ahead of the announcement.
8. What pushed TikTok to launch the new update?
A. The pressure from social media. B. The concern about kids’ online safety.
C. The force from government. D. The increasing need of users.
9. What is Ofcom mainly concerned about?
A. The difficulty in opening an account. B. The low age limit for users.
C. The demand for users’ birth dates. D. TikTok’s failure to check identities.
10. What’s Evans attitude toward the new Family Pairing?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
11. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. TikTok’s Safety Update. B. New Guidelines for Safety.
C. Family Pairing under Debate. D. Controlling Your Kids Online.
D
The Asch Conformity Experiments, conducted by psychologist Solomon Asch in the 1950s, demonstrated the power of conformity (从众) in groups.
In the experiments, groups of university students were asked to participate in a perception test. The participants of the experiment were presented with a card with a simple vertical black line on it. Then, they were given a second card with three lines of varying length labeled A, B, and C. One line on the second card was the same length as that on the first, and the other two lines were obviously longer and shorter.
Participants were asked to state out loud in front of each other which line, A, B, or C, matched the length of the line on the first card.
Asch intended to see if the real participant would be pressured to answer incorrectly in the instances when the confederates did so, or whether their belief in their own perception and correctness would outweigh the social pressure provided by the responses of the other group members.
Asch found that one-third of real participants gave the same wrong answers as the confederates at least half the time. Forty percent gave some wrong answers, and only one-fourth gave correct answers in defiance of the pressure to conform to the wrong answers provided by the group.
In interviews following the trials, Asch found that those who answered incorrectly admitted that they knew that they had the correct answer, but conformed to the incorrect answer because they didn’t want to break from the majority.
12. What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Label the cards with different letters. B. Identify the longest vertical black line.
C. State the reason for matching the cards. D. Pick out two lines of the same length.
13. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The result of the experiment. B. The design of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The procedure of the experiment.
14. What does the underlined part “in defiance of” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. In spite of. B. For fear of. C. In response to. D. On account of.
15. Why did the real participants give a wrong answer?
A. They misunderstood the question. B. They failed to resist group influence.
C. They believed their own judgment. D. They wanted to be different.

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。
One week, we participated in a program that aimed to bring students fun and also strengthen their courage. On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way.
After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool.
We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel.
To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank.
I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side.
Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water.
“Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel.

TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager’s accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.
The company said Tuesday that its “Family Pairing” feature now enables parents to turn off comments on their children’s videos entirely or to limit them to friends only. Parents whose accounts are linked to their kids will also be able to set their accounts to private, turn off the search function for content, users or sounds, and limit who can see which videos their children have liked.
Launched in March, the Family Pairing tool lets parents see how long their children are spending on TikTok each day and limit the content they can see.
TikTok allows children to register and create an account if they’re over the age of 13. All they need to do is provide their date of birth. However, because TikTok doesn’t require registers to prove their identities, some children under 13 have registered by lying about their age, according to U. K. regulator Ofcom.
Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched.
“If we’re thinking about it as a toolbox, we wanted to offer more tools,” she said on a video call ahead of the announcement.
8. What pushed TikTok to launch the new update?
A. The pressure from social media. B. The concern about kids’ online safety.
C. The force from government. D. The increasing need of users.
9. What is Ofcom mainly concerned about?
A. The difficulty in opening an account. B. The low age limit for users.
C. The demand for users’ birth dates. D. TikTok’s failure to check identities.
10. What’s Evans attitude toward the new Family Pairing?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
11. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. TikTok’s Safety Update. B. New Guidelines for Safety.
C. Family Pairing under Debate. D. Controlling Your Kids Online.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了抖音发布了新的安全更新,数据的更新允许父母获得更多的权限控制孩子的抖音账号。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager’s accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.(11月,TikTok 在其应用程序中推出了新的安全更新,此举使得家长能够更好地掌控其子女的账号。随着社交媒体公司面临越来越大的压力,需要让其平台更安全以保护儿童,此类举措应运而生)”可知,抖音发布安全更新是因为社会对孩子们能否安全使用网络的担忧。故选B。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Alexandra Evans, head of child safety public policy for TikTok in Europe, told CNBC that Family Pairing has “put itself in parents’ shoes” since it was launched. (TikTok在欧洲负责儿童安全公共政策的负责人亚历山德拉·埃文斯在接受美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)采访时表示,自“家庭配对”项目推出以来,它已经“设身处地地为家长们着想”了)”可知,Evans是很支持新发布的家庭配对功能。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“TikTok has pushed a new safety update in November to its app that allows parents to take more control of their teenager’s accounts, as social media companies come under increasing pressure to make their platforms safer for children.(11月,TikTok 在其应用程序中推出了新的安全更新,此举使得家长能够更好地掌控其子女的账号。随着社交媒体公司面临越来越大的压力,需要让其平台更安全以保护儿童,此类举措应运而生)”可知本段主要介绍抖音公司新的数据发布。第二段和第三段介绍了数据更新带来的新功能-家庭配对给父母带来的权限。第四段介绍了抖音在用户管理中存在的问题及引起的担忧,最后两段介绍了抖音公司管理者对本次数据更新的态度。结合全文结构可知本文是总分结构,A项“抖音公司的安全更新”更新概括了全文的主旨。故选A项。

The Asch Conformity Experiments, conducted by psychologist Solomon Asch in the 1950s, demonstrated the power of conformity (从众) in groups.
In the experiments, groups of university students were asked to participate in a perception test. The participants of the experiment were presented with a card with a simple vertical black line on it. Then, they were given a second card with three lines of varying length labeled A, B, and C. One line on the second card was the same length as that on the first, and the other two lines were obviously longer and shorter.
Participants were asked to state out loud in front of each other which line, A, B, or C, matched the length of the line on the first card.
Asch intended to see if the real participant would be pressured to answer incorrectly in the instances when the confederates did so, or whether their belief in their own perception and correctness would outweigh the social pressure provided by the responses of the other group members.
Asch found that one-third of real participants gave the same wrong answers as the confederates at least half the time. Forty percent gave some wrong answers, and only one-fourth gave correct answers in defiance of the pressure to conform to the wrong answers provided by the group.
In interviews following the trials, Asch found that those who answered incorrectly admitted that they knew that they had the correct answer, but conformed to the incorrect answer because they didn’t want to break from the majority.
12. What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?
A. Label the cards with different letters. B. Identify the longest vertical black line.
C. State the reason for matching the cards. D. Pick out two lines of the same length.
13. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The result of the experiment. B. The design of the experiment.
C. The purpose of the experiment. D. The procedure of the experiment.
14. What does the underlined part “in defiance of” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. In spite of. B. For fear of. C. In response to. D. On account of.
15. Why did the real participants give a wrong answer?
A. They misunderstood the question. B. They failed to resist group influence.
C. They believed their own judgment. D. They wanted to be different.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了心理学家索洛蒙·阿什的实验揭示了从众行为的力量,有些参与者选择错误答案是出于遵循大多数人的心理,而放弃了自己正确的判断。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants were asked to state out loud in front of each other which line, A, B, or C, matched the length of the line on the first card.(参与者被要求在众人面前大声说出哪一条线(A、B 或 C)与第一张卡片上的线条长度相匹配)”可知,参与者被要求在实验中找出两条长度相同的线。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Asch intended to see if the real participant would be pressured to answer incorrectly in the instances when the confederates did so, or whether their belief in their own perception and correctness would outweigh the social pressure provided by the responses of the other group members.(阿什旨在探究,在那些同盟者给出错误答案的情况下,真正的参与者是否会受到压力而做出错误回答,还是说他们对自己所感知内容以及正确性的信念会比其他小组成员的反应所施加的社会压力更为强大)”可知,Asch是要通过实验来看一下参与者面对压力的反应,即本段主要讲的是实验的目的。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Asch found that one-third of real participants gave the same wrong answers as the confederates at least half the time. Forty percent gave some wrong answers (Asch发现,三分之一的真实参与者至少有一半的时间给出了与同伙相同的错误答案。40%的人给出了一些错误的答案)”可知,这是在描述受到压力影响的人给出的答案,再由only一词可知,接下来谈的应该是不顾压力影响的人给出的答案,因此,划线短语意为“无视,不顾”。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In interviews following the trials, Asch found that those who answered incorrectly admitted that they knew that they had the correct answer, but conformed to the incorrect answer because they didn’t want to break from the majority.(在试验结束后进行的访谈中,阿什发现,那些给出错误答案的人承认他们知道自己答案是正确的,但他们还是选择了错误的答案,是因为他们不想违背大多数人的意见)”可知,真正的参与者给出了错误的答案是因为他们未能抵制群体的影响。故选B。

【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是良好的体育精神的好处。
【16题详解】
后文“They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.(他们对他们的队友大喊大叫,和教练或裁判顶嘴)”与设空处前的表述内容相反,因而设空处有转折含义,B项“However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.(然而,糟糕的体育精神都是关于不尊重的)”中“However”表示转折,“disrespect”与下文所述的“对队友大喊大叫,与教练和裁判顶嘴”呼应。故选B。
【17题详解】
C项“Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.(运动员的父母和教练为孩子们树立了榜样)”说明了运动员的父母和教练对孩子的影响,后文“If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.(如果父母和教练对其他球迷、裁判或彼此不尊重,孩子们很可能在运动场上也会表现出同样的行为)”是对C项的进一步详细说明,且“parents and coaches”也与C项中内容呼应。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.(其中一些非常简单,比如在比赛前和其他队员握手。其他的例子可能需要更多的勇气,比如承认对方赛队的出色表现)”可知,这里在列举好的体育精神的表现方式,其中“Some of them”,“Other examples”与A项“Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.(良好的体育精神可以通过许多方式表现出来)”中的“in many ways”呼应。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness(礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.(学习良好的体育精神是很重要的,因为它有助于你培养一种优雅和尊重的态度,这将延续到你生活的所有其他领域)”可知,良好的体育精神对生活中其他方面也有影响,F项“If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.(如果你在运动场上是一名优秀的运动员,那么你在课堂上也很可能是优秀的)”内容上承接了前文,并且“in the classroom”与后文“Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.(在课堂上表现得好,最终也会在工作中表现得好)”呼应,F项承上启下。故选F。
【20题详解】
G项“The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.(你树立的榜样对其他人来说是一个强大的教学工具)”中的“others”与后文“When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fum, getting exercise, and improving your skills!(当其他人看到你的行为表明胜利不是最重要的事情时,你可以把注意力转移到重要的事情上,比如运动、锻炼和提高技能!)”中的“others”呼应;“The example you set”与前文“So be a good sport in whatever you do!(所以无论你做什么都要做好榜样!)”中的“So be a good sport”呼应。故选G。

【答案】范文
An Experience During the May Day

The process involved several tasks, including cleaning up litter and planting new flowers. We started early in the morning, equipped with trash bags and gardening tools. The most challenging part was digging and planting. It was not until dusk that we finished our task and went home.

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。
One week, we participated in a program that aimed to bring students fun and also strengthen their courage. On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way.
After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool.
We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel.
To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank.
I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side.
Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water.
“Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses.

【答案】 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. After putting them on again, Sam was still there. “I don’t want any juice!” I said. Sam nodded understandingly. “Fine!” he spoke pleasantly and stood waiting. Frustrated by my own weakness, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to jump across the water. Once again, fear overwhelmed me. I looked towards where the others sat. Much to my relief, they still had their backs turned; only Sam stood opposite me, looking straight into my eyes, patiently.
Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. A slight slip of my heel on a stone was quickly steadied by Sam’s strong forearm against my back. As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’s towering height — the tallest among us. “Well done, Jimmy!” he said, nodding in approval while praising me for my bravery. Meanwhile, he handed me a bottle of juice. While drinking it, I felt a sense of pride in myself and gratitude towards Sam for his kindness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者参与一个旨在带给学生乐趣并增强他们勇气的项目,在徒步活动中,作者面对需要跨过一条较宽的水流时感到害怕,但在同伴Sam的鼓励和帮助下,最终鼓起勇气成功跨过水流,并因此感到自豪和对Sam的感激之情。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我擦了擦眼镜,试图找个理由不跨过这条小溪。”以及第二段首句内容“然后我鼓起勇气,向前迈了一步,轻轻地跳过了水道。”可知,第一段可描写作者心生胆怯,不想跨过小溪,但是Sam却在耐心地等待着作者。
②由第二段首句内容“然后我鼓起勇气,向前迈了一步,轻轻地跳过了水道。”可知,第二段可描写作者鼓起勇气跳过了水道,Sam则立刻扶住了作者并表扬了作者。
2.续写线索:作者感到很恐惧,于是擦了擦眼镜,想要找个理由不跨这条小溪——然而,戴上眼镜后,作者发现Sam在看着自己——作者再次鼓起勇气,想要跳过去,但是恐惧再次袭来——所幸并没有人注意到这一切——Sam静静等待着作者——作者鼓足勇气,跳过了水道——但是脚后跟微微滑了一下——幸亏Sam稳稳扶住了作者——Sam表扬了作者,称赞了作者的勇敢——作者很感激Sam
