His father often said, “Sam, look up! The real world is happening right in front of you!” But Sam just stayed silent, eyes glued to the ____23____. Then, an accident happened. One rainy afternoon, rushing for the bus, he lost his balance. His phone flew from his hand and ____24____ screen-down on the ground. The screen was a spiderweb of cracks and completely dead. Sam felt disconnected and lost. The first evening was terrible. He picked up a book but couldn’t ____25____. He thought about his phone every two minutes. The next day at school was worse. At lunch, while his friends laughed over a popular video, he just sat there, unable to join in. He had no choice but to…listen. And an amazing thing happened. He ____26____ heard the conversations. He heard his friend Mark saying he was scared of failing the math test. Sam realized he felt the exact same way and, for the first time, said, “Yeah, me too. Maybe we can study together?” He heard Sarah talking softly about her sick dog, and he offered a real, heartfelt “I’m so sorry,” instead of just sending a sad emoji () later. On the bus ride home, with no screen to hide behind, he looked out of the window. He noticed an elderly man, Mr. Jenkins from his street, having trouble with two heavy bags in the rain. Without thinking, Sam got off at the next stop and came back to ____27____ him. Mr. Jenkins felt very thankful and invited him in for a cup of hot chocolate. His apartment was full of model airplanes and old maps. For an hour, Sam was attracted by stories of Mr. Jenkins’ youth as a navigator (领航员). It was better than any movie. As the week went on, Sam started doodling (涂鸦) in an old notebook, something he hadn’t done for years. He showed his drawings to his dad, who, surprised and excited, dug out his own designs of buildings from college.

Many messages flooded in, but the urgency (紧迫性) was gone. The phone now felt like a tool, not the center of his world. He still used it, but he controlled it.

Dad had been the winner for ten years, though Old Tom never made it ____31____. One week before this year’s games, Dad injured his arm. As his 14-year-old daughter, I decided to enter the “men’s” game to beat Old Tom and ____32____ the family honor. So every afternoon, I practiced tirelessly with horseshoe pitching just one goal—to win. However, when I stood on the field, among the strong men competitors, ____33____ filled my heart. Sneers (讥讽) came around, making me feel worse. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. I raised my head and found it was Old Tom—my biggest “____34____” today. “I saw you practicing the other day. You have your dad’s talent. Go on. Make him proud.” His words magically worked! Looking into his caring eyes, I thanked him and joked, “You’ll ____35____ your kindness because I won’t go easy on you.” “Oh, you scared me, Grace!” he said with a loud laugh. Then I laughed, too. Games went on until only Old Tom and I remained. We pitched, tying all up until the very last round. I went first—my horseshoe landing like a hair away from the stake. Now it was Old Tom’s turn. I held my breath, and couldn’t help hoping he would ____36____. However, after a clear sound, the crowd went wild, “Old Tom! Old Tom!” My heart sank. Old Tom raised a hand for silence. Then, to everyone’s disbelief, he studied the stakes and then spoke loudly, “Hers is closer; the win is hers.” The old man’s acts touched me deeply. I decided to ____37____ his unbelievable kindness. I ran to the judges and asked whether we could share the honor. They agreed. That year, for the first time ever, two names were printed on the champion’s trophy (奖杯).

B Doing More Every Saturday, when her mother worked, young Belle spent the day at her grandmother’s laundry (洗衣店). She loved being with Grandma, but wished she could do more than just practice hobbies like drawing pictures and reading books. One morning, Belle asked Grandma, “Please let me help with the customers!” Grandma agreed to let her write down orders and put tags on clothes. Belle could do small clothes easily, but when a very large bedspread (床罩) arrived, she couldn’t lift it. She lost her balance, and the bedspread fell on her, soft and heavy. Belle struggled to come out from under the bedspread and saw Grandma smiling. “Why not draw instead? You’re such a good artist.” Grandma suggested. But Belle felt down. She wanted to really help-not just draw pictures. That afternoon, Belle noticed some high school students painting shop windows along the street. They were painting “GO TIGERS!” in big letters. “What if you get in trouble?” Belle asked. One student laughed, “Don’t worry. No trouble! It’s a kind of special paint—just cornstarch (玉米淀粉), soap and food coloring. It washes right off!” Belle’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She ran back to Grandma’s empty shop windows with a great idea. After getting Grandma’s agreement, she went to buy materials and mixed colorful paints by herself. Slowly and carefully, Belle painted these words on the window: “AFTER THE GAME, BRING YOUR UNIFORMS HERE!” Under the words, she drew a fun picture—sports shirts happily jumping into bubbly water. When Grandma came outside, a small crowd had gathered. “Perfect!” someone said. Grandma gave Belle a big hug and said happily, “This just might work!” Later, after the big game, when tired players really came to Grandma’s shop with their dirty uniforms, Belle knew her artwork had truly helped—just as she hoped! 42. How did Belle feel about spending Saturdays at her grandmother’s laundry? A. Excited but restless. B. Upset but curious. C. Happy and willing. D. Lonely and bored. 43. Why did Grandma hug Belle? A. Because Belle tried to help bring customers. B. Because Belle finished all the laundry by herself. C. Because Belle said sorry for making a mess earlier. D. Because Belle worked hard to improve painting skills. 44. What can we learn from the story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Communication is key to success. C. Teamwork often makes light work. D. Smart use of hobbies creates more. C Space agencies like the European Space Agency and the China National Space Agency are working to return astronauts to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo Program. However, more space flights to the Moon present several major challenges. One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days. In addition, it requires much more powerful rockets. So scientists are developing technologies that will allow astronauts to use local resources on the Moon. For example, water ice, which is common at the Moon’s south pole, can meet the needs for water. Lunar regolith (月球风化层) can be used to make building materials. Recently, research has also shown that plants can be grown in lunar soil. The research was carried out by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez from a university in Britain. They planted the tea plants into lunar soil simulant (模拟物) and Martian (火星的) soil simulant and watched how the plants developed over the course of several weeks. They compared their results with a control group planted in the soil on Earth. They also controlled the temperature, the amount of water in the air, and the lighting to recreate a space environment. Researchers checked the growth and health of both groups carefully. The tea plants in the lunar soil simulant took root and grew as well as those in the control group, while plants in simulated Martian soil failed to grow. This is certainly good news for astronauts who are headed for the Moon in the coming years for lunar exploration. On the other hand, those space flights to Mars might have to wait a few years. As Prof. Mason said, we’re moving into a new age of space exploration, where we think about living in space and building bases on the Moon or Mars. These experiments tell us that plants on Earth, such as tea, may be grown in lunar soil within lunar greenhouses, allowing future astronauts who live and work on the moon to grow their own food. We are at the very earliest stages of research into space farming, but it is exciting to think that astronauts might one day have a tea break on the Moon, making a faraway world feel a little more like home. 45. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the biggest challenges of travelling to the Moon? A. The need for special materials. B. The long time spent on the way. C. The danger made by lunar regolith. D. The safety of astronauts on spaceships. 46. What can we learn from the research by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez? A. They created space-like conditions to test plant growth. B. They wanted to find ways to send more food to the Moon. C. They studied why tea plants grew well in lunar soil simulant. D. They discovered water ice from the Moon helped plants grow faster. 47. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Walking on Mars Might Take Longer Than We Thought. B. Living on the Moon Could Become a Reality in the Future. C. Growing Food in Space May Help Astronauts Stay Healthy. D. Having Tea Grown on the Moon May One Day Be Possible. D Music is more than just entertainment. It is one of the most available and powerful ways to influence our mental state. Yet many people still fail to see its power. In fact, music can support mental health not only in clinical (临床) settings, but also in our daily lives. We all know that music can influence our emotions. It can calm us down, cheer us up, or even make us cry. But recent research has shown that music can also change the content (内容) of our thoughts. In a study of University of Bergen, Norway in 2019, participants listened to uplifting or sad music as they daydreamed. The result showed uplifting music led to more positive and active thoughts, while sad music brought about calmer or less motivating ones. One Harvard University study finds that day dreaming takes up half of our waking hours. When we daydream, we are generally less happy. Why? Because during these daydreaming periods, the brain’s default mode network (DMN) takes over. This supports imagination, memory and reflection, but often gets us caught in repetitive, negative thought cycles: the painful regrets or the midnight worries. Fortunately, the brain has a natural counterpart (对应的事物): the executive network (EN), which helps us focus and carry out goal-directed actions. These two systems are anticorrelated—when one is active, the other quiets down. And music, especially when we are actively engaged (沉浸) in it, can shift brain activities controlled by the DMN into a mode supported by the EN. By tapping along with a beat, breathing with a rhythm, or humming a tune, we redirect attention, break negative thought cycles and give the mind a cognitive “reset”. In fact, the benefits go beyond changing the thought content. In a 2023 experiment, people who tapped along with music felt significantly less pain from a short pressure on the fingernail than those who only listened. The pairing of musical engagement and related movement could reduce the pain to a clinically important degree. All these findings show that musical engagement helps influence thought content and ease pain effectively. Therefore music should be treated as more than a pastime: It deserves a place in schools, public health plans, and everyday routines. So when you are lost in negative thought cycles or stress begins to build, try your favorite song and tap along. 48. What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 3? A. How to discover the power of music. B. What to listen to while daydreaming. C. Brain networks controlled by daydreaming. D. Science of how music changes thoughts. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Active music participation reduces physical pain. B. Music makes DMN and EN work with each other. C. Daydreaming causes unhappiness in daily routines. D. Sad music makes people calmer and more relaxed. 50. What message does the writer mainly want to convey (传递)? A. Music helps pass time while we’re daydreaming. B. Musical engagement should be encouraged daily. C. Music activities change the structure of our brain. D. Listening to music improves imagination and memory. E Nowadays, kids may ask, “Before smart phones came out, what did people do when they got lost?” They are not just curious—they are exploring how phone culture is changing the way we think, feel, and act in the digital (数字的) age. In this digital age, kids have no experience of a “pre-Internet mindset (前互联网思维模式)”. In the past, when we faced uncertainties, like not knowing the shortest path, or the answer to a question, we couldn’t get information easily like we do today. At that time, our brains had to adapt (适应) to that discomfort. We depended on our memory and came up with creative solutions. These cognitive (认知的) “workouts” strengthened attention and problem-solving skills. Now, with the wide use of phones and the Internet, answers come quickly. There’s less need to memorize routes or struggle through problems alone. This change makes many people worry about technology’s negative influence, and some even fall into a “deficit mindset”, believing everything was better in the past. For example, they might think writing letters is far better than messaging, while overlooking the amazing efficiency and connectivity that technology brings. It’s true that some studies suggest heavy social media use can challenge our focus. Even a short screen time affects brain areas for self-control and decision-making. But this isn’t the whole story. New research, like a 2023 study on young adults, shows that technology also trains our brains in different ways. When dealing with new things, it easily connects us with different topics and cultures, making our minds more open and adaptable. Therefore, instead of gainsaying the advantages that are brought about by the digital age, we should recognize the natural adaptation of the human brain. In fact, people have developed the following three basic modes of thinking to deal with problems today: The Deep-Thinking Mode The Quick-Learning Mode The Free-Switching Mode Disconnecting from digital tools to develop your own ideas and building creativity that AI cannot easily provide. Using technology as a tool to get information, solve problems effectively, and keep up with the latest knowledge. Switching between the two modes according to your tasks and using digital tools wisely only when they help you achieve your goals. Next time you face a problem, notice your natural response. Do you stand the uncertainty, reach for your phone, or find a middle path? There is no single “right” way to think, for each mode offers unique advantages that our complex world needs. Understanding how your mind has adapted to our digital environment might just be your greatest strength. 51. Why does the writer mention the kids’ question in Paragraph 1? A. To present kids’ curiosity about the past life. B. To highlight the importance of phone culture. C. To stress the benefits that are brought by smart phones. D. To start the discussion of the influence of the digital age. 52. What does the word “gainsaying” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. sticking to B. speaking against C. giving in to D. putting up with 53. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Curiosity encourages people’s lifelong learning. B. Using social media develops decision-making skills. C. Recognizing cognitive strengths helps solve problems. D. A “deficit mindset” improves efficiency and connectivity. 54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Influence of Digital World Over Attention B. The Workout of Our Brain to Remain Creative C. The Adaptation of Our Brain to the Digital Age D. The Changes of Pre-and After-Internet Environment 四、阅读表达（前3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） Today, social media influences how people shop. Unlike the traditional “influencing”, which encourages people to buy more, a new style is becoming more popular—deinfluencing. It means that content (内容) creators tell their followers not to buy some products. This change shows how people think about shopping is different now. Deinfluencing is no accident. It’s a natural reaction to too many ads online. For over ten years, content creators have turned into influencers who made people buy too many things, which was a top marketing method back then. Some popular products were called “must-haves”. But a key problem has appeared: companies often force influencers to put ads in their videos and use editing (剪辑) to hide product problems. This has led to more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products. A recent study shows that only 12% trust influencer-suggested products, while 42% regret buying them. When prices rise, people usually shop more carefully and refuse to pay extra for “influencer names.” People also care more about the Earth. Making too many products hurts nature. Deinfluencing encourages people to buy what they really need, not what they just want. It tells them to pick things that last long and are good for the Earth. For companies, it’s a good chance to make a positive change. A famous company received complaints about its “uncomfortable toothpaste”. To deal with the complaints, it didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added “bad product suggestions” to its product page, which got more attention. More and more companies plan to work with content creators who try the products themselves and share honest reviews. These creators are more trusted than those making perfect ads. At heart, deinfluencing cleans up social media. It does not take away influencers’ power. Instead, it helps turn them from sellers into people we can trust. As experts say, “To be deinfluenced, one must first be influenced.” It helps people feel less stressed about what to buy. At the same time, only if a company is open and honest can it stay strong on social media. After all, good product quality speaks louder than any showy ads. 55. What does deinfluencing mean? ____________________________________________ 56. Why are more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products? ____________________________________________ 57. How did the famous toothpaste company deal with the complaints? ____________________________________________ 58. What do you think of the deinfluencing? Why? (Please give two reasons.) ____________________________________________ 五、词汇运用（每题1分，共10分） collect, mean, deep, use, be, goal, glad, wise, they, think The assignment (任务) was up on the blackboard for my ninth-grade students: “What is the perfect age, and why would you like ____59____ that age?” I hoped this writing assignment would help them think about their life ____60____.

That would be eight bedrooms! But I always remember Victoria’s story. She was a shy, bright and ____66____ child. She never said much, but you could see her thinking ____67____. She thought for ten minutes, then picked up her pencil and wrote something that has stayed with me my whole life. In the assignment, she became the teacher, and I was the student learning from a wise 14-year-old. As a 67-year-old woman now, when I wish I were younger, I would remember Victoria’s ____68____. Amazingly, as a 14-year-old, Victoria saw that every part of life was important. 六、中考单词填空（每题1分，共10分） cancel, connected, lightning, competition, believed, shared, disappointment, together, succeed, excitement Tommy and Kevin were brothers who ____69____ a great love for robots. Every day after school, they would spend hours in their room building robots from old toy parts and broken machines. This year’s town robot ____70____ was the biggest ever. Both brothers decided to join. Kevin built a strong robot named “Titan”. Tommy built a fast one called “Flash”. Each one ____71____ his robot was the best.

After the call, her face fell. “Bad news, everyone,” she said. “The judge’s car broke down. He can’t get here. I’m afraid we have to ____74____ the competition.” A wave of ____75____ swept through the room.

She loved being with Grandma, but wished she could do more than just practice hobbies like drawing pictures and reading books. One morning, Belle asked Grandma, “Please let me help with the customers!” Grandma agreed to let her write down orders and put tags on clothes. Belle could do small clothes easily, but when a very large bedspread (床罩) arrived, she couldn’t lift it. She lost her balance, and the bedspread fell on her, soft and heavy. Belle struggled to come out from under the bedspread and saw Grandma smiling. “Why not draw instead? You’re such a good artist.” Grandma suggested. But Belle felt down. She wanted to really help-not just draw pictures. That afternoon, Belle noticed some high school students painting shop windows along the street. They were painting “GO TIGERS!” in big letters. “What if you get in trouble?” Belle asked. One student laughed, “Don’t worry. No trouble! It’s a kind of special paint—just cornstarch (玉米淀粉), soap and food coloring. It washes right off!” Belle’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She ran back to Grandma’s empty shop windows with a great idea. After getting Grandma’s agreement, she went to buy materials and mixed colorful paints by herself. Slowly and carefully, Belle painted these words on the window: “AFTER THE GAME, BRING YOUR UNIFORMS HERE!” Under the words, she drew a fun picture—sports shirts happily jumping into bubbly water. When Grandma came outside, a small crowd had gathered. “Perfect!” someone said. Grandma gave Belle a big hug and said happily, “This just might work!” Later, after the big game, when tired players really came to Grandma’s shop with their dirty uniforms, Belle knew her artwork had truly helped—just as she hoped! 42.

However, more space flights to the Moon present several major challenges. One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days. In addition, it requires much more powerful rockets. So scientists are developing technologies that will allow astronauts to use local resources on the Moon. For example, water ice, which is common at the Moon’s south pole, can meet the needs for water. Lunar regolith (月球风化层) can be used to make building materials. Recently, research has also shown that plants can be grown in lunar soil. The research was carried out by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez from a university in Britain. They planted the tea plants into lunar soil simulant (模拟物) and Martian (火星的) soil simulant and watched how the plants developed over the course of several weeks. They compared their results with a control group planted in the soil on Earth. They also controlled the temperature, the amount of water in the air, and the lighting to recreate a space environment. Researchers checked the growth and health of both groups carefully. The tea plants in the lunar soil simulant took root and grew as well as those in the control group, while plants in simulated Martian soil failed to grow. This is certainly good news for astronauts who are headed for the Moon in the coming years for lunar exploration. On the other hand, those space flights to Mars might have to wait a few years. As Prof. Mason said, we’re moving into a new age of space exploration, where we think about living in space and building bases on the Moon or Mars. These experiments tell us that plants on Earth, such as tea, may be grown in lunar soil within lunar greenhouses, allowing future astronauts who live and work on the moon to grow their own food. We are at the very earliest stages of research into space farming, but it is exciting to think that astronauts might one day have a tea break on the Moon, making a faraway world feel a little more like home. 45. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the biggest challenges of travelling to the Moon? A. The need for special materials. B. The long time spent on the way. C. The danger made by lunar regolith. D. The safety of astronauts on spaceships. 46. What can we learn from the research by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez? A. They created space-like conditions to test plant growth. B. They wanted to find ways to send more food to the Moon. C. They studied why tea plants grew well in lunar soil simulant. D. They discovered water ice from the Moon helped plants grow faster. 47. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Walking on Mars Might Take Longer Than We Thought. B. Living on the Moon Could Become a Reality in the Future. C. Growing Food in Space May Help Astronauts Stay Healthy. D. Having Tea Grown on the Moon May One Day Be Possible. 【答案】45. B 46. A 47.

It is one of the most available and powerful ways to influence our mental state. Yet many people still fail to see its power. In fact, music can support mental health not only in clinical (临床的) settings, but also in our daily lives. We all know that music can influence our emotions. It can calm us down, cheer us up, or even make us cry. But recent research has shown that music can also change the content (内容) of our thoughts. In a study of University of Bergen, Norway in 2019, participants listened to uplifting or sad music as they daydreamed. The result showed uplifting music led to more positive and active thoughts, while sad music brought about calmer or less motivating ones. One Harvard University study finds that day dreaming takes up half of our waking hours. When we daydream, we are generally less happy. Why? Because during these daydreaming periods, the brain’s default mode network (DMN) takes over. This supports imagination, memory and reflection, but often gets us caught in repetitive, negative thought cycles: the painful regrets or the midnight worries. Fortunately, the brain has a natural counterpart (对应的事物): the executive network (EN), which helps us focus and carry out goal-directed actions. These two systems are anticorrelated—when one is active, the other quiets down. And music, especially when we are actively engaged (沉浸) in it, can shift brain activities controlled by the DMN into a mode supported by the EN. By tapping along with a beat, breathing with a rhythm, or humming a tune, we redirect attention, break negative thought cycles and give the mind a cognitive “reset”. In fact, the benefits go beyond changing the thought content. In a 2023 experiment, people who tapped along with music felt significantly less pain from a short pressure on the fingernail than those who only listened. The pairing of musical engagement and related movement could reduce the pain to a clinically important degree. All these findings show that musical engagement helps influence thought content and ease pain effectively. Therefore, music should be treated as more than a pastime: It deserves a place in schools, public health plans, and everyday routines. So when you are lost in negative thought cycles or stress begins to build, try your favorite song and tap along. 48. What does the writer mainly talk about in Paragraph 3? A. How to discover the power of music. B. What to listen to while daydreaming. C. Brain networks controlled by daydreaming. D. Science of how music changes thoughts. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Active music participation reduces physical pain. B. Music makes DMN and EN work with each other. C. Daydreaming causes unhappiness in daily routines. D.

In this digital age, kids have no experience of a “pre-Internet mindset (前互联网思维模式)”. In the past, when we faced uncertainties, like not knowing the shortest path, or the answer to a question, we couldn’t get information easily like we do today. At that time, our brains had to adapt (适应) to that discomfort. We depended on our memory and came up with creative solutions. These cognitive (认知的) “workouts” strengthened attention and problem-solving skills. Now, with the wide use of phones and the Internet, answers come quickly. There’s less need to memorize routes or struggle through problems alone. This change makes many people worry about technology’s negative influence, and some even fall into a “deficit mindset”, believing everything was better in the past. For example, they might think writing letters is far better than messaging, while overlooking the amazing efficiency and connectivity that technology brings. It’s true that some studies suggest heavy social media use can challenge our focus. Even a short screen time affects brain areas for self-control and decision-making. But this isn’t the whole story. New research, like a 2023 study on young adults, shows that technology also trains our brains in different ways. When dealing with new things, it easily connects us with different topics and cultures, making our minds more open and adaptable. Therefore, instead of gainsaying the advantages that are brought about by the digital age, we should recognize the natural adaptation of the human brain. In fact, people have developed the following three basic modes of thinking to deal with problems today: The Deep-Thinking Mode The Quick-Learning Mode The Free-Switching Mode Disconnecting from digital tools to develop your own ideas and building creativity that AI cannot easily provide. Using technology as a tool to get information, solve problems effectively, and keep up with the latest knowledge. Switching between the two modes according to your tasks and using digital tools wisely only when they help you achieve your goals. Next time you face a problem, notice your natural response. Do you stand the uncertainty, reach for your phone, or find a middle path? There is no single “right” way to think, for each mode offers unique advantages that our complex world needs. Understanding how your mind has adapted to our digital environment might just be your greatest strength. 51. Why does the writer mention the kids’ question in Paragraph 1? A. To present kids’ curiosity about the past life. B. To highlight the importance of phone culture. C. To stress the benefits that are brought by smart phones. D. To start the discussion of the influence of the digital age. 52. What does the word “gainsaying” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

Using social media develops decision-making skills. C. Recognizing cognitive strengths helps solve problems. D. A “deficit mindset” improves efficiency and connectivity. 54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Influence of Digital World Over Attention B. The Workout of Our Brain to Remain Creative C. The Adaptation of Our Brain to the Digital Age D. The Changes of Pre-and After-Internet Environment 【答案】51. D 52. B 53. C 54. C 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了数字时代对人类思维方式的影响，指出大脑会自然适应数字环境，并介绍了深度思考、快速学习和自由切换三种应对问题的思维模式。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。第一段通过孩子的问题引出话题，进而讨论数字时代对人们思维、感受和行为方式的影响，并非单纯激发孩子们对过去生活的好奇心（A），强调手机文化的重要性（B）或强调智能手机带来的好处（C）。故选D。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“instead of gainsaying the advantages that are brought about by the digital age, we should recognize the natural adaptation of the human brain.”可知，我们不应否认数字时代带来的优势，而应认识到人类大脑的自然适应性，“gainsaying”意为“反驳、反对”，与“speaking against”同义。故选B。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Understanding how your mind has adapted to our digital environment might just be your greatest strength.”可知，了解你的大脑是如何适应我们这个数字化环境的，或许正是你最大的优势所在，由此可知，选项C“认识到认知优势有助于解决问题”与作者的想法相符。故选C。 【54题详解】 最佳标题题。全文主线为“大脑对数字时代的适应”：第二段对比过去认知方式，第三段转折指出技术变革，第四段辩证分析影响，第五段提出三种适应模式，末段总结适应性是优势。C项“大脑对数字时代的适应”精准覆盖核心。故选C。 四、阅读表达（前3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） Today, social media influences how people shop. Unlike the traditional “influencing”, which encourages people to buy more, a new style is becoming more popular—deinfluencing. It means that content (内容) creators tell their followers not to buy some products. This change shows how people think about shopping is different now. Deinfluencing is no accident. It’s a natural reaction to too many ads online. For over ten years, content creators have turned into influencers who made people buy too many things, which was a top marketing method back then. Some popular products were called “must-haves”. But a key problem has appeared: companies often force influencers to put ads in their videos and use editing (剪辑) to hide product problems. This has led to more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products. A recent study shows that only 12% trust influencer-suggested products, while 42% regret buying them. When prices rise, people usually shop more carefully and refuse to pay extra for “influencer names.” People also care more about the Earth. Making too many products hurts nature. Deinfluencing encourages people to buy what they really need, not what they just want. It tells them to pick things that last long and are good for the Earth. For companies, it’s a good chance to make a positive change. A famous company received complaints about its “uncomfortable toothpaste”. To deal with the complaints, it didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added “bad product suggestions” to its product page, which got more attention. More and more companies plan to work with content creators who try the products themselves and share honest reviews. These creators are more trusted than those making perfect ads. At heart, deinfluencing cleans up social media. It does not take away influencers’ power. Instead, it helps turn them from sellers into people we can trust. As experts say, “To be deinfluenced, one must first be influenced.” It helps people feel less stressed about what to buy. At the same time, only if a company is open and honest can it stay strong on social media. After all, good product quality speaks louder than any showy ads. 55. What does deinfluencing mean? ____________________________________________ 56. Why are more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products? ____________________________________________ 57. How did the famous toothpaste company deal with the complaints? ____________________________________________ 58. What do you think of the deinfluencing? Why? (Please give two reasons.) ____________________________________________ 【答案】55. It means that content creators tell their followers not to buy some products. 56. Because companies often force them to put ads in their videos and use editing to hide product problems. 57. It didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added “bad product suggestions” to its product page. 58. I think deinfluencing is positive. First, it helps people feel less stressed about what to buy. Second, it cleans up social media. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍反影响这一现象，说明其流行原因、对企业的影响，以及它能让人们理性消费、净化社交媒体的好处。 55题详解】 根据第一段“a new style is becoming more popular—deinfluencing. It means that content (内容) creators tell their followers not to buy some products.”可知，deinfluencing指的是内容创作者告诉他们的粉丝不要购买某些产品。故填It means that content creators tell their followers not to buy some products. 【56题详解】 根据第二段“companies often force influencers to put ads in their videos and use editing (剪辑) to hide product problems. This has led to more and more people not trusting influencer-suggested products.”可知，越来越多的人不再相信网红推荐的产品，是因为企业常常强迫网红在他们的视频中插入广告，并通过剪辑手段掩盖产品存在的问题。故填Because companies often force them to put ads in their videos and use editing to hide product problems. 【57题详解】 根据倒数第二段“To deal with the complaints, it didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added‘bad product suggestions’to its product page”可知，为解决这些投诉，该公司并未回避问题，而是展开了实际测试，并甚至在产品页面中添加了“不良产品建议”这一内容。故填It didn’t hide the problem but started real-life testing and even added “bad product suggestions” to its product page. 58题详解】 句意：你怎么看待“deinfluencing(反影响)”这种现象？为什么？给出两个原因。开放性回答，合理即可，可参考最后一段。故填I think deinfluencing is positive. First, it helps people feel less stressed about what to buy. Second, it cleans up social media. 五、词汇运用（每题1分，共10分） collect, mean, deep, use, be, goal, glad, wise, they, think The assignment (任务) was up on the blackboard for my ninth-grade students: “What is the perfect age, and why would you like ____59____ that age?” I hoped this writing assignment would help them think about their life ____60____.
