Micro dramas can better tell China stories Micro dramas, featuring smartphone-suited video clips lasting only a few minutes, are gaining popularity both in China and abroad. The micro dramas 1 (design) and developed for smartphone and tablet users who prefer quick and engaging content, becoming popular due to their novel plot turns and unique characters. 2 the production of micro dramas in a relatively short time has created welcome opportunities for new actors and directors in the film and TV industry, most of the dramas feature counterattacks (反击) by sons-in-law, lover couples, struggles in the harem (宫斗). But such micro dramas have changed the characters to fit Western tastes, 3 (attract) a large number of Generation Z viewers in Europe and the United States. According to a white paper 4 (provide) by the China Net-casting Services Association, the micro drama industry is going through transformation and upgrading, with the number of micro drama viewers in China reaching 576 million in June 2024. The market size of micro dramas is estimated   5 (earn) over 68 billion yuan ($9.3 billion) in 2025 and 100 billion in 2027.

Some high-quality micro dramas featuring some cultural elements and tourist sites have already encouraged the development of tourism in some regions.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．modest B．novel C． pilot D．prospect AB．observe AC． random AD．justify BC． celebrated BD．mirrors CD．awareness ABC． passage Zootopia 2 Puts a Forgotten Woman Founder at the Heart of a Box-Office Hit Disney’s Zootopia 2 is storming global box offices, but behind the record-breaking numbers lies a quieter revolution: the sequel(续作) turns a children’s cartoon into a sharp fable about how women’s creativity is 11 , but then stolen, and erased. Prior to its release, many expected a safe follow-up to a popular brand, yet the film offers a(n) 12 focus on a woman inventor whose work has been written out of history. Since opening worldwide, the film has earned hundreds of millions of dollars, but box-office data alone cannot 13 dismissing it as "just another sequel". Beneath the jokes and chase scenes, Zootopia 2 carefully 14 real-world patterns in which women’s ideas are absorbed into male-dominated institutions. With a(n) 15 family-friendly surface, the film cues in surprisingly sharp questions about authorship and memory. On the plot level, rabbit officer Judy Hopps and fox partner Nick Wilde are sent to investigate a snake who disrupts the centennial celebration of Zootopia’s climate-controlling "weather walls". Their search leads them through a hidden 16 beneath the city and into the buried story of Agnes De’Snake, a visionary female engineer who designed the walls and imagined a metropolis where animals with different bodies and habits could all live with dignity. The official narrative, however, credits male tycoon Ebenezer Lynxley; the De’Snake name survives only as a distorted footnote. As audiences around the world 17 the film’s release as a major holiday-season event, the story quietly insists that such erasure is not a(n) 18 accident but a repeated structure. The Agnes–Judy connection makes Zootopia 2 feel like a(n) 19 experiment in mainstream feminist storytelling: one woman uses empathy to build a city, another uses courage to confront the system that erased her. For viewers, this raises the 20 of more blockbusters that name and challenge the theft of women’s labor instead of treating it as background noise. In a franchise already known for allegories of prejudice, Zootopia 2 goes further, arguing that women who build the world must no longer be left off the plaque. II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. One of the quickest ways to get a job lately has been to announce on social media that you were laid off (解雇). Despite the overall strength of the job market, layoffs have been increasing in recent months. Companies in the entertainment, automotive, and financial industries, such as Netflix, Tesla, and JPMorgan Chase, have all announced layoffs, and more are 21 in the technology, aerospace, and travel sectors. However, many recently laid-off 22 are turning to social media platforms to share their experiences and seek new employment opportunities. What was once considered an embarrassing no-no has now become a(n) 23 step to show one’s toughness and readiness for new challenges. Nathan Felt, 24 , shared his layoff experience online after losing his position as a director of product design at Guaranteed Rate. He expressed a mix of disappointment and hope for the future, and provided a podcast discussing how 25 can lead to growth opportunities. His post, which did not 26 ask for a job, received numerous responses, including several job offers. He eventually started a new role as a product-design leader at Amazon. Career coaches advise job seekers to avoid 27 sadness in their online posts. 28 , they suggest expressing gratitude for their previous employment and conveying eagerness for new opportunities. Liz Maupin, a marketing producer in Los Angeles, posted about her being fired. She wrote, “If you hear of anything, I’m a lovely producer and am 29 about keeping working.” Within 24 hours, she was flooded with responses, and one of them turned into a job offer, which she described as “ 30 ”. Others who have successfully found new jobs through social media emphasize the importance of providing 31 information, such as job titles, experience levels, and their value to a team. Sarah Nelson, who works in human resources, 32 her layoff from a San Francisco firm on a social media platform. She 33 in conversations with several companies. Recently she started a new remote job as a recruiter (招聘人员) with Dandy, an online dental lab platform, in Scottsdale, Ariz. Silvia Fuentes, who revealed her layoff last week, specified that she was seeking a mid-level digital product designer role. She included the phrase “hmu” (“hit me up”, meaning “contact me”) in her 34 for job opportunities. She was 35 by several professionals online in no time, and she has had a few initial conversations so far. 21．A．maintained B．advocated C．expected D．disciplined 22．A．travellers B．bikers C．individuals D．employers 23．A．risky B．false C．dangerous D．effective 24．A．on the whole B．in particular C．as a result D．for example 25．A．shelters B．failures C．achievements D．promotions 26．A．directly B．gratefully C．randomly D．commonly 27．A．funding B．displaying C．overlooking D．doubting 28．A．Instead B．Otherwise C．Moreover D．Meanwhile 29．A．flexible B．passionate C．alert D．confused 30．A．accidental B．romantic C．stressful D．amazing 31．A．classified B．statistical C．detailed D．timely 32．A．publicized B．negotiated C．battled D．caused 33．A．specialized B．believed C．engaged D．investigated 34．A．request B．priority C．signal D．praise 35．A．shut up B．logged out C．called off D．tracked down Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The line from Othello — “How poor are they that have not patience!”— may have been in the mind of the Royal Shakespeare Company when it was considering how best to retain the attention of time-poor audiences this season. Yet it chose a different route — an intentional departure from tradition: one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version. Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, co-artistic directors announcing their first season of RSC programming, said this shortened show — As You Like It, to be performed in the outdoor Holloway Garden Theatre — would be ideal for tourists visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. But is it really a departure? Even as a lover of the plays in all their messy fullness, I believe there can be a refreshing focus to a short show. Some shortened Shakespeare’s — such as Simon Godwin’s Romeo and Juliet — are every bit as rich as the originals, if done well. Beyond artistic interpretation, the new format offers something practical: accessibility. The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs. The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life Of course, the play’s the thing, and it is why we go to the theatre. But it’s not the only reason. Some want to enjoy the full three-hour production with not a word removed; others want to have dinner and chat afterwards, or catch the bus home without having to make a mad run for it. Within this landscape, a bite-size Shakespeare has its rightful place. 36．What is the main purpose of shortening As You Like It to an 80-minute version? A．To make the story easier for younger audiences to understand. B．To provide a convenient option for visitors with limited time. C．To experiment with new stage technology and visual effects. D．To replace the original two-or three-hour play temporarily. 37．Why does the writer mention missing the last train to London? A．To criticize the poor public transport in Stafford. B．To show that evening plays are too long for travelers. C．To highlight the need for better planning by theatre visitors. D．To illustrate how the new schedule solves a real inconvenience. 38．What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph? A．The RSC is losing artistic value by shortening plays. B．The directors resolve to simplify Shakespeare’s language. C．The audience prefers watching plays online rather than in theatres. D．The theatre experience should consider audience comfort and modern lifestyles. 39．What is the central message of the article? A．Shorter Shakespeare plays weaken artistic traditions. B．The RSC’s shortened productions balance art and practicality. C．Traditional plays are adapted into other art forms for promotion. D．Modern audiences no longer appreciate Shakespeare’s long plays.

Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right? I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go, which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland? Not exactly. A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great. I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free — and not sticky — so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now.  I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, “Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free. 43．By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ . A．she doesn’t think highly of TV either B．she believes those who say they don’t watch TV C．she should be polite to get the conversation to go on D．she is not willing to admit that she watches television 44．The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______ ”. A．from morning till night B．one after another without a break C．looking at the opposite direction D．leaning against the back of the couch 45．The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because ______ . A．she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks B．the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland C．the television series was no more attractive than the book D．she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV 46．What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5? A．Reading is active while watching TV is passive. B．Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t. C．Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t. D．Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it. Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We Need to Do More to Help the Teachers Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing and we still have the numbers … by a lot. 47 ” “Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT). 48 So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. 49 We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one. We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. 50 And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place-be a good teacher. A．BAT wanted to take action. B．Those who gave more tended to gain less. C．The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention. D．By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others, not themselves. E．Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world. F．After all, self-care, good mental health positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself. III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Do you have a favorite podcast? That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options. That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them. If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share, start a podcast. A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject. The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic. It’s believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love. Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment. While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive, it doesn’t have to be. For your first podcast, you can simply rely on your phone and computer. You can record all of your audio on your phone. Then with your computer — and the right software — you can mix the audio. This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file. After you have your topic and equipment, you’ll want to choose your format. Your podcast could be one person speaking, two people talking, or many people offering their opinions. Your podcast could also include more than one of these options. Once you’ve decided, you can start drafting your episodes. However, whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode. The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording. When you’ve completed your recording and audio mixing, you’ll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast. Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show. Be sure to post about your show on social media. Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory, too. You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience. Your podcast just might become someone’s new favorite. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

The official narrative, however, credits male tycoon Ebenezer Lynxley; the De’Snake name survives only as a distorted footnote. As audiences around the world 17 the film’s release as a major holiday-season event, the story quietly insists that such erasure is not a(n) 18 accident but a repeated structure. The Agnes–Judy connection makes Zootopia 2 feel like a(n) 19 experiment in mainstream feminist storytelling: one woman uses empathy to build a city, another uses courage to confront the system that erased her. For viewers, this raises the 20 of more blockbusters that name and challenge the theft of women’s labor instead of treating it as background noise. In a franchise already known for allegories of prejudice, Zootopia 2 goes further, arguing that women who build the world must no longer be left off the plaque. 【答案】 11．BC 12．B 13．AD 14．BD 15．A 16．ABC 17．AB 18．AC 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述迪士尼电影《疯狂动物城2》不仅在全球票房成绩斐然，还蕴含着关于女性创造力被埋没、盗用及抹去的深刻主题。影片通过具体情节揭示现实世界中女性创意被男性主导机构吸收的现象，引发观众对女性劳动成果被盗用问题的思考。 11．考查动词被动语态。句意：迪士尼的《疯狂动物城2》在全球票房大获成功，但在这破纪录的数字背后，隐藏着一场悄然的变革：这部续作将一部儿童卡通片转变成了一个尖锐的寓言，讲述女性的创造力如何先被赞颂，然后被盗用，最后被抹去。“is ________”，这里需要一个动词的过去分词形式与is构成被动语态，表示女性创造力的遭遇。“celebrated”有“赞颂”之意，符合语境，说明女性创造力一开始是被赞颂的，之后才出现被盗用和抹去的情况。故填BC。 12．考查形容词。句意：在它发布之前，许多人期待这是一个热门品牌稳妥的后续之作，但这部电影却有一个新颖的关注点，聚焦于一位其作品被从历史中抹去的女性发明家。“a(n)  _______  focus”，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词“focus”，描述这个关注点的特点。“novel”意思是“新颖的”，表明该电影的关注点不同于大众预期，有独特之处。故填B。 13．考查动词。句意：自全球上映以来，这部电影已经赚了数亿美元，但仅靠票房数据并不能成为将其视为“只是又一部续集”而不予重视的理由。“cannot  ________  dismissing”，这里“justify”常用结构为“justify doing sth.”，表示“为做某事提供正当理由”，“justify”符合语境，即票房数据不能为轻视这部电影提供合理依据。故填AD。 14．考查动词。句意：在笑话和追逐场景之下，《疯狂动物城2》细致地反映了现实世界中女性的想法被吸收进男性主导机构的模式。句子主语是“Zootopia 2”，第三人称单数，“carefully  ________  real-world patterns”，这里需要一个动词作谓语，“mirrors”意思是“反映”，用第三人称单数形式，符合句子表达电影反映现实模式的语境。故填BD。 15．考查形容词。句意：有着适度的适合家庭观看的表面，这部电影引出了关于著作权和记忆方面惊人尖锐的问题。“a(n)  ________  family-friendly surface”，需要一个形容词修饰名词“surface”，“modest”表示“适度的”，说明电影表面看起来是适合家庭观看的程度较为适度，同时又能引出尖锐问题。故填A。 16．考查名词。句意：他们的搜寻引领他们穿过城市下方一条隐藏的通道，进入了艾格尼丝·德·斯内克被埋没的故事。“a hidden  ________  beneath the city”，这里需要一个名词，“passage”有“通道”的意思，符合“穿过城市下方……”的语境。故填ABC。 17．考查动词。句意：当世界各地的观众将这部电影的发行视为重大节日季活动时，这个故事悄然强调，这种抹杀并非偶然，而是一种反复出现的模式。“As audiences...  ________  the film’s release as...”，这里“observe...as...”是固定搭配，意思是“把……当作（某个节日或盛事）来庆祝/纪念”，符合句子表达观众对电影发行看法的语境。故填AB。 18．考查形容词。句意：这种抹杀并非偶然，而是一种反复出现的模式。“not a(n)  ________  accident”，需要一个形容词修饰名词“accident”，“random”表示“随机的，偶然的”，与后文“a repeated structure”形成对比，说明这种抹杀不是偶然发生的。故填AC。 19．考查形容词。句意：艾格尼丝和朱迪之间的联系，让《疯狂动物城2》感觉像是主流女权主义故事讲述方面的一次试点性实验：一个女人用同理心建造了一座城市，另一个女人用勇气去面对抹去她功绩的体制。“a(n)  ________ experiment”，需要一个形容词修饰名词“experiment”，“pilot”有“试点的”意思，表明这是一次在主流女权主义故事讲述领域具有尝试、探索性质的实验。故填C。 20．考查名词。句意：对于观众来说，这引发了一种可能性，即会有更多大片指出并挑战盗用女性劳动成果的行为，而不是将其当作无关紧要的事。“this raises the  ________  of...”，这里需要一个名词，“prospect”有“可能性，前景”的意思，“raises the prospect of...”表示“引发……的可能性”，符合语境，即这部电影让观众期待未来有更多相关主题的大片出现。故填D。 II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. One of the quickest ways to get a job lately has been to announce on social media that you were laid off (解雇). Despite the overall strength of the job market, layoffs have been increasing in recent months. Companies in the entertainment, automotive, and financial industries, such as Netflix, Tesla, and JPMorgan Chase, have all announced layoffs, and more are 21 in the technology, aerospace, and travel sectors. However, many recently laid-off 22 are turning to social media platforms to share their experiences and seek new employment opportunities. What was once considered an embarrassing no-no has now become a(n) 23 step to show one’s toughness and readiness for new challenges. Nathan Felt, 24 , shared his layoff experience online after losing his position as a director of product design at Guaranteed Rate. He expressed a mix of disappointment and hope for the future, and provided a podcast discussing how 25 can lead to growth opportunities. His post, which did not 26 ask for a job, received numerous responses, including several job offers. He eventually started a new role as a product-design leader at Amazon. Career coaches advise job seekers to avoid 27 sadness in their online posts. 28 , they suggest expressing gratitude for their previous employment and conveying eagerness for new opportunities. Liz Maupin, a marketing producer in Los Angeles, posted about her being fired. She wrote, “If you hear of anything, I’m a lovely producer and am 29 about keeping working.” Within 24 hours, she was flooded with responses, and one of them turned into a job offer, which she described as “ 30 ”. Others who have successfully found new jobs through social media emphasize the importance of providing 31 information, such as job titles, experience levels, and their value to a team. Sarah Nelson, who works in human resources, 32 her layoff from a San Francisco firm on a social media platform. She 33 in conversations with several companies. Recently she started a new remote job as a recruiter (招聘人员) with Dandy, an online dental lab platform, in Scottsdale, Ariz. Silvia Fuentes, who revealed her layoff last week, specified that she was seeking a mid-level digital product designer role. She included the phrase “hmu” (“hit me up”, meaning “contact me”) in her 34 for job opportunities. She was 35 by several professionals online in no time, and she has had a few initial conversations so far. 21．A．maintained B．advocated C．expected D．disciplined 22．A．travellers B．bikers C．individuals D．employers 23．A．risky B．false C．dangerous D．effective 24．A．on the whole B．in particular C．as a result D．for example 25．A．shelters B．failures C．achievements D．promotions 26．A．directly B．gratefully C．randomly D．commonly 27．A．funding B．displaying C．overlooking D．doubting 28．A．Instead B．Otherwise C．Moreover D．Meanwhile 29．A．flexible B．passionate C．alert D．confused 30．A．accidental B．romantic C．stressful D．amazing 31．A．classified B．statistical C．detailed D．timely 32．A．publicized B．negotiated C．battled D．caused 33．A．specialized B．believed C．engaged D．investigated 34．A．request B．priority C．signal D．praise 35．A．shut up B．logged out C．called off D．tracked down 【答案】 21．C 22．C 23．D 24．D 25．B 26．A 27．B 28．A 29．B 30．D 31．C 32．A 33．C 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分享了多个真实案例，表明越来越多被裁员工通过社交媒体宣布被解雇的信息，以真诚态度分享经历、展示能力，快速获得新工作机会。 21．考查动词词义辨析。句意：娱乐、汽车和金融行业的公司，如网飞、特斯拉和摩根大通，都宣布了裁员，科技、航空航天和旅游业预计也将有更多裁员。A. maintained维持；B. advocated提倡；C. expected预期；D. disciplined训练。根据上文“Companies in the entertainment, automotive, and financial industries, such as Netflix, Tesla, and JPMorgan Chase, have all announced layoffs”和下文“in the technology, aerospace, and travel sectors”可知，在描述完娱乐、汽车和金融行业的公司裁员的现状后，此处指预计科技、航空航天和旅游业有更多裁员。故选C。 22．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，许多最近被解雇的个人转向社交媒体平台分享他们的经历，寻找新的就业机会。A. travellers旅行者；B. bikers骑行者；C. individuals个人；D. employers雇主。根据上文“Companies in the entertainment, automotive, and financial industries, such as Netflix, Tesla, and JPMorgan Chase, have all announced layoffs”可知，此处指那些被公司解雇的个人。故选C。 23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：曾经被认为是令人尴尬的禁忌，现在却成为展示一个人的坚韧和准备迎接新挑战的有效步骤。A. risky冒险的；B. false虚假的；C. dangerous危险的；D. effective有效的。根据上文“One of the quickest ways to get a job lately has been to announce on social media that you were laid off (解雇).”可知，在社交媒体上宣布自己被解雇可以很快找到工作，因此是指成为有效步骤。故选D。 24．考查介词短语辨析。句意：例如，Nathan Felt在失去了Guaranteed Rate产品设计总监的职位后，在网上分享了他的裁员经历。A. on the whole总体而言；B. in particular特别；C. as a result因此；D. for example例如。根据上文“However, many recently laid-off ___2___ are turning to social media platforms to share their experiences and seek new employment opportunities.”和“Nathan Felt”可知，上一段总的描述被解雇的人求职的方法，本段开始用具体的案例进行说明，此处用for example“例如”引出Nathan Felt的案例。故选D。 25．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他在表达失望的同时，也展现了未来的希望，并发布了一期播客，探讨失败如何带来成长机会。A. shelters庇护所；B. failures失败；C. achievements成就；D. promotions晋升。根据上文“after losing his position as a director of product design at Guaranteed Rate”可知，Nathan失去了Guaranteed Rate产品设计总监的职位，此处指这一失败经历如何带来成长机会。故选B。 26．考查副词词义辨析。句意：他的帖子没有直接寻求工作，但收到了许多回复，其中包括几份工作邀请。A. directly直接地；B. gratefully感激地；C. randomly随机地；D. commonly通常地。根据上文“He expressed a mix of disappointment and hope for the future, and provided a podcast discussing how ___5___ can lead to growth opportunities.”可知，Nathan在帖子中表达的是个人的情绪和观点，并未直接寻求工作。故选A。 27．考查动词词义辨析。句意：职业教练建议求职者避免在网络帖子中显露出悲伤。A. funding资助；B. displaying显露；C. overlooking忽视；D. doubting怀疑。根据下文“they suggest expressing gratitude for their previous employment and conveying eagerness for new opportunities”可知，职业教练建议失去工作的人表达对以前工作的感激之情，并表达对新机会的渴望，因此是要避免显露出悲伤。故选B。 28．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，他们建议表达对以前工作的感激之情，并表达对新机会的渴望。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The line from Othello — “How poor are they that have not patience!”— may have been in the mind of the Royal Shakespeare Company when it was considering how best to retain the attention of time-poor audiences this season. Yet it chose a different route — an intentional departure from tradition: one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version. Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, co-artistic directors announcing their first season of RSC programming, said this shortened show — As You Like It, to be performed in the outdoor Holloway Garden Theatre — would be ideal for tourists visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. But is it really a departure? Even as a lover of the plays in all their messy fullness, I believe there can be a refreshing focus to a short show. Some shortened Shakespeare’s — such as Simon Godwin’s Romeo and Juliet — are every bit as rich as the originals, if done well. Beyond artistic interpretation, the new format offers something practical: accessibility. The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs. The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life Of course, the play’s the thing, and it is why we go to the theatre. But it’s not the only reason. Some want to enjoy the full three-hour production with not a word removed; others want to have dinner and chat afterwards, or catch the bus home without having to make a mad run for it. Within this landscape, a bite-size Shakespeare has its rightful place. 36．What is the main purpose of shortening As You Like It to an 80-minute version? A．To make the story easier for younger audiences to understand. B．To provide a convenient option for visitors with limited time. C．To experiment with new stage technology and visual effects. D．To replace the original two-or three-hour play temporarily. 37．Why does the writer mention missing the last train to London? A．To criticize the poor public transport in Stafford. B．To show that evening plays are too long for travelers. C．To highlight the need for better planning by theatre visitors. D．To illustrate how the new schedule solves a real inconvenience. 38．What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph? A．The RSC is losing artistic value by shortening plays. B．The directors resolve to simplify Shakespeare’s language. C．The audience prefers watching plays online rather than in theatres. D．The theatre experience should consider audience comfort and modern lifestyles. 39．What is the central message of the article? A．Shorter Shakespeare plays weaken artistic traditions. B．The RSC’s shortened productions balance art and practicality. C．Traditional plays are adapted into other art forms for promotion. D．Modern audiences no longer appreciate Shakespeare’s long plays. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．D 39．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了英国皇家莎士比亚剧团（RSC）为了吸引时间有限的观众，将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟的版本。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段“one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version.(其中一部戏剧将被精简为80分钟的版本，供那些没有时间观看完整两三个小时版本的人观看。)”可知，将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟版本的主要目的是为时间有限的游客提供方便的选择。故选B。 37．推理判断题。根据第三段“The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs.(皇家莎士比亚剧团的精简版剧目，折射出一种更宏大的愿景 —— 让戏剧变得更便捷、更多元。该剧目票价更加亲民，最低仅10英镑，并且《皆大欢喜》的演出从下午5点开始，这样一来，游客们便能赶上驶离埃文河畔斯特拉特福的夜间火车。我曾有过一次颇为糊涂的经历：在皇家莎士比亚剧团看完首演夜的戏剧后便打算返回伦敦，结果却发现末班车早已开走。莎士比亚本人想必也会赞同这种做法 —— 他向来是一位精明的商人、一位务实主义者，并且总能敏锐地洞察观众的需求。)”可知，作者提到错过末班车是为了说明新时间表如何解决了一个真正的不便。故选D。 38．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life.(哈维和埃文斯此番举措兼具前瞻性与亲和力，核心在于他们考量的是观众看戏的完整体验，而非仅仅孤立地看待戏剧本身。去剧院看一场戏，过程可能满是奔波疲惫：火急火燎地扒完一顿仓促的晚餐、排不完的如厕长队、挤进那些为身形纤瘦的维多利亚时代人设计的座位，视线还总会被前排的人头无情遮挡。缩短戏剧时长，绝非是对其艺术性的削弱，而是让戏剧更具人文关怀，让艺术与现代生活的节奏同频共振。)”可知，第四段的主要思想是剧院体验应该考虑观众的舒适和现代生活方式。故选D。 39．主旨大意题。提到皇家莎士比亚剧团将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟的版本，为时间有限的游客提供方便的选择，并且票价更便宜，开始时间也更适合游客赶火车，还提到缩短一场演出并不是减少其艺术性，而是使其更人性化，使艺术与现代生活的节奏相协调，由此可知，这篇文章的中心思想是皇家莎士比亚剧团的精简版在艺术和实用性之间取得了平衡。故选B。 B Canada Apprentice (学徒) Loan Basics The Canada Apprentice Loan is available to help registered Red Seal apprentices cover the cost of their training.

Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right? I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go, which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland? Not exactly. A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great. I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free — and not sticky — so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now.  I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, “Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free. 43．By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ . A．she doesn’t think highly of TV either B．she believes those who say they don’t watch TV C．she should be polite to get the conversation to go on D．she is not willing to admit that she watches television 44．The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______ ”. A．from morning till night B．one after another without a break C．looking at the opposite direction D．leaning against the back of the couch 45．The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because ______ . A．she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks B．the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland C．the television series was no more attractive than the book D．she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV 46．What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5? A．Reading is active while watching TV is passive. B．Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t. C．Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t. D．Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it. 【答案】43．A 44．B 45．D 46．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了阅读与看电视的不同体验及对人的影响。 43．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right?(我知道有些人说他们不看电视，我总是点头表示同意。阅读需要智力，而电视仅仅是娱乐，对吗？)”可知，作者通过“总是点头同意”暗示自己也不看好电视。故选A。 44．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed.(我back to back看了第一集四小时长的剧集。当我从沙发上站起来时，我感到不舒服，这不仅仅是因为我不经意地吃了饼干、爆米花和花生酱三明治。外面很黑，我感到很惭愧)”可知，作者连续不断地看了四小时的剧集，直到天黑都没有发现。因此，“back to back”在此处的意思是“一个接一个，不间断地”。与选项B“one after another without a break (一个接一个不间断)”一致。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? (为什么我感觉好多了，而且没有负罪感呢？)”以及第五段中“All the research says reading a book is good for you.(所有的研究都表明读书对你有好处)”可知，作者在阅读《朋友》后感觉更好，没有负罪感，是因为她认为阅读比看电视更有价值。故选D。 46．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away.(我们的大脑必须努力将页面上的黑色曲线翻译成单词，然后解释这些单词的含义和意图。当一个角色被描述为棕色头发的高个子时，读者会自己想象出她的样子。电视把所有的想象力都带走了)”可知，从第五段介绍的所有研究中可以得出：阅读是主动的，而看电视是被动的。故选A。 Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We Need to Do More to Help the Teachers Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing and we still have the numbers … by a lot. 47 ” “Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT). 48 So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. 49 We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one. We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. 50 And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place-be a good teacher. A．BAT wanted to take action. B．Those who gave more tended to gain less. C．The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention. D．By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others, not themselves. E．Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world. F．After all, self-care, good mental health positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself. 【答案】47．E 48．A 49．D 50．F 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出美国教师职业压力极大，工作环境糟糕且人员流动率高，而教师本身难以做到自我关怀，因此作者呼吁改变对教师心理健康的讨论，提供相关解决方案以支持教师群体。 47．根据上文“The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing and we still have the numbers ... by a lot.(唯一在压力上接近我们的职业是护理行业——而且我们的压力数值还高出很多。)”可知，此处承接上文，进一步说明教师职业的困境。E选项“Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world.(尽管教学本身值得尊重，但在当今世界却受到质疑。)”既呼应了上文的压力问题，又为后文提到的工作环境差、不受尊重等内容做铺垫，符合语境。故选E项。 48．根据上文“...Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).(纽约资深教师布赖斯-海德说，……她是全国性组织“无畏教师协会”（BAT）的成员。)”以及下文“So they did a national study of teacher working conditions(于是他们对教师的工作条件进行了一项全国性研究)”可知，此处需体现BAT的行动。A选项“BAT wanted to take action.(BAT想要采取行动。)”中的BAT与上文组织名称一致，“采取行动”直接引出下文的研究行为，衔接紧密。故选A项。 49．根据上文“Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers.(然而，自我关怀对人们来说似乎并不容易，对教师来说尤其如此。)”可知，此处需解释教师难以进行自我关怀的原因。D选项“By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others-not themselves.(本质上，教育工作者被教导要关心和支持他人，而不是自己。)”从教师的职业特质出发，合理说明其难以自我关怀的根源，符合语境。故选D项。 50．根据上文“We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators.(我们希望你能广泛分享这篇文章，向同行的教育工作者给予支持和关爱。)”以及下文“And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place-be a good teacher.(而且这几乎肯定会帮助你实现最初的目标——成为一名好老师。)”可知，此处需点明自我关怀对教师的重要性。F选项“After all, self-care, good mental health positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.(毕竟，自我关怀、良好的心理健康和积极的幸福感是你能为自己做的最好的事情之一。)”承接上文的支持倡议，且与下文“成为好老师”的结果衔接自然，符合语境。故选F项。 III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Do you have a favorite podcast? That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options. That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them. If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share, start a podcast. A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject. The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic. It’s believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love. Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment. While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive, it doesn’t have to be. For your first podcast, you can simply rely on your phone and computer. You can record all of your audio on your phone. Then with your computer — and the right software — you can mix the audio. This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file. After you have your topic and equipment, you’ll want to choose your format. Your podcast could be one person speaking, two people talking, or many people offering their opinions. Your podcast could also include more than one of these options. Once you’ve decided, you can start drafting your episodes. However, whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode. The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording. When you’ve completed your recording and audio mixing, you’ll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast. Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show. Be sure to post about your show on social media. Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory, too. You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience. Your podcast just might become someone’s new favorite. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It’s about how to start a podcast.

It’s true that many teenagers spend hours on these platforms every day, which concerns some parents. However, short-video platforms aren't all bad. There is content that can be educational, like science experiments or history stories, which can broaden teenagers’ horizons. The platforms that offer such content are the ones that can actually benefit teenagers. Moreover, completely banning them may not be the best solution. Teenagers who really want to use them will find ways, which could lead to more secretive and unsupervised use. What we should do is guide teenagers to use these platforms wisely. For example, parents can set time limits and help them choose positive content. In this way, teenagers can enjoy the benefits while avoiding the potential harm. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就是否禁止青少年使用短视频平台阐述观点并说明理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 完全地：fully→completely 禁止：ban →forbid 使担心：concern →worry 拓宽：broaden → widen 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I don’t fully agree with the idea of banning short-video platforms for teenagers. 拓展句：It is the idea of banning short-video platforms for teenagers that I don’t fully agree with. 【点睛】【高分句型1】It’s true that many teenagers spend hours on these platforms every day, which concerns some parents.（运用了It作形式主语和that引导的主语从句，which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】What we should do is guide teenagers to use these platforms wisely.（运用了What引导的主语从句） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 The media单元自测·基础卷 （考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：115分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.

Prior to its release, many expected a safe follow-up to a popular brand, yet the film offers a(n) 12 focus on a woman inventor whose work has been written out of history. Since opening worldwide, the film has earned hundreds of millions of dollars, but box-office data alone cannot 13 dismissing it as "just another sequel". Beneath the jokes and chase scenes, Zootopia 2 carefully 14 real-world patterns in which women’s ideas are absorbed into male-dominated institutions. With a(n) 15 family-friendly surface, the film cues in surprisingly sharp questions about authorship and memory. On the plot level, rabbit officer Judy Hopps and fox partner Nick Wilde are sent to investigate a snake who disrupts the centennial celebration of Zootopia’s climate-controlling "weather walls". Their search leads them through a hidden 16 beneath the city and into the buried story of Agnes De’Snake, a visionary female engineer who designed the walls and imagined a metropolis where animals with different bodies and habits could all live with dignity. The official narrative, however, credits male tycoon Ebenezer Lynxley; the De’Snake name survives only as a distorted footnote. As audiences around the world 17 the film’s release as a major holiday-season event, the story quietly insists that such erasure is not a(n) 18 accident but a repeated structure. The Agnes–Judy connection makes Zootopia 2 feel like a(n) 19 experiment in mainstream feminist storytelling: one woman uses empathy to build a city, another uses courage to confront the system that erased her. For viewers, this raises the 20 of more blockbusters that name and challenge the theft of women’s labor instead of treating it as background noise. In a franchise already known for allegories of prejudice, Zootopia 2 goes further, arguing that women who build the world must no longer be left off the plaque. II.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. One of the quickest ways to get a job lately has been to announce on social media that you were laid off (解雇). Despite the overall strength of the job market, layoffs have been increasing in recent months. Companies in the entertainment, automotive, and financial industries, such as Netflix, Tesla, and JPMorgan Chase, have all announced layoffs, and more are 21 in the technology, aerospace, and travel sectors. However, many recently laid-off 22 are turning to social media platforms to share their experiences and seek new employment opportunities. What was once considered an embarrassing no-no has now become a(n) 23 step to show one’s toughness and readiness for new challenges. Nathan Felt, 24 , shared his layoff experience online after losing his position as a director of product design at Guaranteed Rate. He expressed a mix of disappointment and hope for the future, and provided a podcast discussing how 25 can lead to growth opportunities. His post, which did not 26 ask for a job, received numerous responses, including several job offers. He eventually started a new role as a product-design leader at Amazon. Career coaches advise job seekers to avoid 27 sadness in their online posts. 28 , they suggest expressing gratitude for their previous employment and conveying eagerness for new opportunities. Liz Maupin, a marketing producer in Los Angeles, posted about her being fired. She wrote, “If you hear of anything, I’m a lovely producer and am 29 about keeping working.” Within 24 hours, she was flooded with responses, and one of them turned into a job offer, which she described as “ 30 ”. Others who have successfully found new jobs through social media emphasize the importance of providing 31 information, such as job titles, experience levels, and their value to a team.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The line from Othello — “How poor are they that have not patience!”— may have been in the mind of the Royal Shakespeare Company when it was considering how best to retain the attention of time-poor audiences this season. Yet it chose a different route — an intentional departure from tradition: one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version. Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, co-artistic directors announcing their first season of RSC programming, said this shortened show — As You Like It, to be performed in the outdoor Holloway Garden Theatre — would be ideal for tourists visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. But is it really a departure? Even as a lover of the plays in all their messy fullness, I believe there can be a refreshing focus to a short show. Some shortened Shakespeare’s — such as Simon Godwin’s Romeo and Juliet — are every bit as rich as the originals, if done well. Beyond artistic interpretation, the new format offers something practical: accessibility. The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs. The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life Of course, the play’s the thing, and it is why we go to the theatre. But it’s not the only reason. Some want to enjoy the full three-hour production with not a word removed; others want to have dinner and chat afterwards, or catch the bus home without having to make a mad run for it. Within this landscape, a bite-size Shakespeare has its rightful place. 36．What is the main purpose of shortening As You Like It to an 80-minute version? A．To make the story easier for younger audiences to understand. B．To provide a convenient option for visitors with limited time. C．To experiment with new stage technology and visual effects. D．To replace the original two-or three-hour play temporarily. 37．Why does the writer mention missing the last train to London? A．To criticize the poor public transport in Stafford. B．To show that evening plays are too long for travelers. C．To highlight the need for better planning by theatre visitors. D．To illustrate how the new schedule solves a real inconvenience. 38．What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph? A．The RSC is losing artistic value by shortening plays. B．The directors resolve to simplify Shakespeare’s language. C．The audience prefers watching plays online rather than in theatres. D．The theatre experience should consider audience comfort and modern lifestyles. 39．What is the central message of the article? A．Shorter Shakespeare plays weaken artistic traditions. B．The RSC’s shortened productions balance art and practicality. C．Traditional plays are adapted into other art forms for promotion. D．Modern audiences no longer appreciate Shakespeare’s long plays.

A．help students in need complete their studies B．promote the business of Canadian banks C．recruit more apprentices for Canadian companies D．provide apprentices with fund to receive technical training C I know people who say they don’t watch television, and I always nod and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and television is merely entertainment, right? I’m going to Scotland this year, and three different people told me I must watch “Outlander” before I go, which is like “Game of Thrones” for fans of romance novels. I watched the first four-hour-long episodes back to back. When I stood up from the couch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the cookies, popcorn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had without noticing. It was dark outside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day on the couch. Research for Scotland? Not exactly. A few days later I had a library book due: The National Book Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed to finish it, so I read the last half straight through. I was absorbed in Nunez’s New York City, worrying about the heroin’s career and her future. I finished the book with tears in my eyes and stood up feeling, well, great. I had wasted another four hours on my couch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk food because I needed my hands free — and not sticky — so I could turn pages and return the book to the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t moved and once again it was dark outside. Why did I feel so much better and guilt-free? All the research says reading a book is good for you. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, relieves depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). The act of physically turning a page creates a momentary pause for understanding to sink in. Our brains have to work to translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) on the page into words and then interpret the meaning and intent (意图) of those words. When a character is described as tall with brown hair, a reader creates her own picture. TV takes all that imagination away. But there’s a lot of good TV now.  I’d like to say the answer to TV versus books must be, as Aristotle said, “Moderation in all things,” though he never had a television or a computer and had to read his scrolls by candlelight. I agree that too much television is bad for you. I know I feel better if I read, but it won’t stop me from watching too: My second DVD of “Outlander” has just arrived, and as soon as I get this essay done, the rest of my day is free. 43．By “I always nod and agree” (paragraph 1), the author implies that ______ . A．she doesn’t think highly of TV either B．she believes those who say they don’t watch TV C．she should be polite to get the conversation to go on D．she is not willing to admit that she watches television 44．The phrase “back to back” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ ______ ”. A．from morning till night B．one after another without a break C．looking at the opposite direction D．leaning against the back of the couch 45．The author felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, most probably because ______ . A．she didn’t feel hungry for any snacks B．the TV series got her to cancel her trip to Scotland C．the television series was no more attractive than the book D．she regarded reading as more rewarding than watching TV 46．What can be concluded from all the research introduced in paragraph 5? A．Reading is active while watching TV is passive. B．Reading involves physical exercises while watching TV doesn’t. C．Reading stimulates the brain to concentrate while watching TV doesn’t. D．Reading is good for one’s mental health while watching TV is bad for it. Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. We Need to Do More to Help the Teachers Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing and we still have the numbers … by a lot. 47 ” “Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT). 48 So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. 49 We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one. We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. 50 And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place-be a good teacher. A．BAT wanted to take action. B．Those who gave more tended to gain less. C．The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention. D．By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others, not themselves. E．Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today’s world. F．After all, self-care, good mental health positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself. III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Do you have a favorite podcast? That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options. That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them. If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share, start a podcast. A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject. The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic. It’s believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love. Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment. While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive, it doesn’t have to be. For your first podcast, you can simply rely on your phone and computer. You can record all of your audio on your phone. Then with your computer — and the right software — you can mix the audio. This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file. After you have your topic and equipment, you’ll want to choose your format. Your podcast could be one person speaking, two people talking, or many people offering their opinions. Your podcast could also include more than one of these options. Once you’ve decided, you can start drafting your episodes. However, whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode. The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording. When you’ve completed your recording and audio mixing, you’ll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast. Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show. Be sure to post about your show on social media. Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory, too. You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience. Your podcast just might become someone’s new favorite. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

It’s true that many teenagers spend hours on these platforms every day, which concerns some parents. However, short-video platforms aren't all bad. There is content that can be educational, like science experiments or history stories, which can broaden teenagers’ horizons. The platforms that offer such content are the ones that can actually benefit teenagers. Moreover, completely banning them may not be the best solution. Teenagers who really want to use them will find ways, which could lead to more secretive and unsupervised use. What we should do is guide teenagers to use these platforms wisely. For example, parents can set time limits and help them choose positive content. In this way, teenagers can enjoy the benefits while avoiding the potential harm. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
