ProInfluencer: Hello,everyone!As a family social media influencer myself,I believe there are many great things about it.Firstly,by sharing our daily routines,challenges,and wins,we create content that people really care about.It's like making a big family community.Secondly,our content gives information,advice and ideas to help them with things like being a parent,running a business,or cooking. Concerned Parent: I get why it's fun,but I worry about privacy ()When families share every aspect of their lives online,especially when it involves children.It might put their privacy and safety in danger.Sharing too much can be risky,and kids might not realize how posting their lives online can affect them in the future. I see both sides of the coin.On one side.family social media influencers usually show a perfect picture of their family life.This can make their followers feel like their own lives aren't good enough,because they compare them to the"perfect"pictures online.On the other side,these influencers can also inspire and encourage their audience by sharing happy experiences and what they do every day. Family First: While I enjoy the education and inspiration that family social media influencers provide,I worry about how it affects family life.When families always take pictures and share everything they do,it can take up a lot of time.It might make family members feel like they need to make good content instead of just enjoying time together.We shouldn't let trying to be popular online take away from the real love and fun we have as a family. 39."Prolnfluencer"refers to someone who A.doesn't like social media influencers B.supports being a family social media influencer C.thinks social media is neither good nor bad 试卷第5页，共9页 D.is worried about social media influencers 40.Concerned Parent believes that a possible danger of sharing family life online is_ A.it makes people feel like their own lives aren't good enough B.it takes up too much family time C.it could endanger the privacy and safety of children D.it makes families focus too much on creating content 41.The name for the third participant could be A.Balanced Viewer B.Social Fan C.Perfect Parent D.Daily Sharer 42.According to Family First, should come first.

Not too long ago,saving money meant putting coins into a piggy bank or hiding notes in a secret place.Buying snacks meant handing over real cash and feeling every cent you spent.But in today's world,money doesn't jingle(叮当)or crinkle(起皱)--it clicks. For many kids,digital payments are becoming part of everyday life.With smartphones or 试卷第7页，共9页 cards,it's common to buy things without cash.According to News Hour,about half of kids aged 10 to 12 own a smartphone.Some families are using apps to help kids manage money. Digital money is easy to carry,and you don't have to worry about losing notes or canying coins.But when money becomes just numbers on a screen,it can feel less real.And when money doesn't feel real,it's easier to spend too much without thinking. Scientists say that kids learn best through hands-on experiences.When you count change or hand over cash,you understand its value more clearly.It feels like something you're giving up. But when you buy something online or tap your phone,nothing feels like it's missing.That small difference can change the way kids think about money. Still,many kids are learning how to manage money in this new digital world.When NewsHour asked students questions about money,one kid quickly answered that there are 15 quarters in $3.75.Even without using coins,some kids are excellent at money maths.But managing money isn't just about maths-it's also about habits (]) To help kids fomm good habits,many parents use tools to give their children money for doing chores.These tools help kids divide(分开)their money into“spend',“save',and“give, and let parents keep an eye on how the money is used.Some apps also teach lessons about saving and investing ()Schools are also taking part,offering classes on money management. Talking about money at home is just as important.Whether using cash or cards,learning how to plan for spending and save for future goals helps kids feel confident with money. Living in a cashless world isn't a bad thing,but it means kids need new skills.With the right support from parents,teachers,and technology,they can grow up to be financially (E) smart-even without ever carrying a coin. 51.What did saving money mean not too long ago? 52.What are the advantages of digital money mentioned in the passage? 53.How can kids understand the value of money more clearly according to scientists? 54.What will you do to manage money in a cashless society?(Give two examples.) 试卷第8页，共9页 What is the writer's main opinion about kids living in a cashless world and what advice does the writer give to help kids manage money well? 八、写作（每小题20分，共20分) 写作要求：学校举办我最喜欢的一幅画征文活动，请你简要 介绍《蒙娜丽莎》，不少于6o词。The school holds an essay contest themed "My Favorite Painting".Please briefly introduce the Mona Lisa in no less than 60 words. 基删信息： I Created by the Italian painter Da Vinci between 1503 and 1519.
