She regularly posts artworks and travel photos on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or joins in private conversations. “I love sharing colourful moments of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally tired”, she admits. Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over a lot of emotional connections on the Internet. Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once an important centre for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of looking for active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of others’ comments. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow online ties. This change comes from their desire to run away from great pressure brought by empty digital interactions. While critics consider light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by applying this approach, young people regain control over their online space — sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others’ expectations. Even social platforms have developed to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, showing the widespread acceptance of light socializing. In a world closely bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It’s not about turning their backs on people, but about looking for a healthier and more independent way to be online. This trend shows the younger generation’s maturity(成熟) in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions. 1. What does the underlined word “prioritizes” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Largely ignores. B. Greatly changes. C. Wisely avoids. D. Values more. 2. What does Min Li think social media has become for young people now? A. A tool to look for information. B. A center for deep relationships. C. A platform for personal display. D. A space to ease negative feelings. 3. What can be inferred about “light socializing”? A. It balances expression and safety. B. It requires strong social ability. C. It relies mainly on platforms’ settings. D. It makes young people emotionally cold. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Keep Silent Mode On B. Keep the Digital Distance C. Social Media: Free Self-Expression D. Emotional Coldness: Online Life’s Secret 例题2 (2026届湖北省武汉市高三元月调考英语试卷)Many of us get lost in social media. Worldwide, the average adult spends more than 2. 5 hours per day immersed in social apps. All that scrolling(滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem. 1 Here are some strategies to help reset your relationship with social media. 2 When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps. For example, “I use social media to connect with others, to learn new things daily, to record my life, and to express myself creatively, ” or “I do not use social media as a replacement for IRL. ” Write your own version, and stick it to your desk or wherever you might be distracted to mindlessly scroll. Set specific goals Committing to using social media less is too general a resolution to be effective. Instead, set specific goals or boundaries. 3 Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. Go on an unfollowing spree(狂欢) Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas. 4 Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate. Make a list of scrolling substitutes If you weren’t scrolling through social media posts, what would you be doing? Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. 5 A. Craft a mission statement. B. Record your personal preference. C. So take the time to think about what’s working. D. At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it. E. Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day. F. You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses. G. There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes. 阅读理解 Passage 1 (2025-2026学年度重庆西南大学附属中学上学期期末考试高一英语试题)In recent years, social media has become an important part of teenagers’ daily lives However, concerns over its negative effects have continued to grow. In response to this background, the Australian government recently announced a plan to ban children under the age of 16 from owning or using social media accounts, which has caused widespread debate both at home and abroad. According to the proposal, popular platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat should be required to take stronger measures to prevent underage users from registering accounts The government believes that social media can expose young people to harmful content, online bullying and unrealistic standards of beauty and success, which may damage their mental health. Studies have shown that too much screen time is linked to anxiety, depression and poor sleep among teenagers. Therefore, reducing screen time is also a goal. Supporters of the ban argue that it is a necessary step to protect children during a critical stage of development. They point out that teenagers often lack the ability to tell right from wrong online and are more likely to be influenced by misleading information. In their view, limiting access to social media could encourage young people to spend more time on face-to-face communication, physical activity and academic work. However, critics(批评家) question whether the ban can be effectively carried out. They argue that many teenagers are already skilled at bypassing age requirements by providing false information when signing up. In addition, some experts warn that a complete ban may prevent young people from developing digital literacy skills that are important in modern society. Instead of banning social media, they suggest educating teenagers on how to use these platforms responsibly. Despite the disagreement, the Australian government insists that protecting children’s well-being must come first. Officials say the policy is not meant to prevent teenagers from the digital world, but to create a safer online environment for them. Whether the ban will achieve its intended goals remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly raised important questions about the role of social media in young people’s lives. 1. Why did the Australian government propose the ban (on social media)? A. To stop children from using the Internet. B. To reduce harmful influences on children. C. To punish platforms for misleading content. D. To promote children’s academic performance. 2. What can we learn about teenagers from Paragraph 3? A. They often fail to judge online content and get influenced. B. They suffer from mental health issues due to social media. C. They spend too much time on face-to-face communication. D. They have limited access to social media and online activities 3. What does the underlined word “bypassing” in Paragraph 4 mean A. Obeying. B. Controlling. C. Avoiding. D. Accepting 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Australia’s efforts to protect teenagers from social media. B. The influence of social media on teenagers’ mental health. C. Different views on Australia’s social media ban for teenagers. D. The measures to create a safe online environment for teenagers. Passage 2 There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical and excel at language and math while right-brained people are more imaginative, emotionally intelligent and skilled with spatial reasoning. There’s just one problem: That’s not how brains work. Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. Despite this enduring belief, there’s no such thing as being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. Whether you’re someone who tends more towards creativity or logic has nothing to do with one hemisphere(半球) of your brain being dominant over the other. But the actual science of how the two halves of our brains work together is sometimes stranger than fiction. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. In all vertebrate(脊椎的) animals, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa. And scientists have long known, thanks to the behaviors of patients who suffered brain injuries, that different areas of the brain do different things. But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry(对称). Work by neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) has revealed the importance of different hemispheres of the brain for different activities. However, their research quickly saw some misinterpretations in the general public: Some presumed creative people must be right-brained and logical people left-brained. It is proven that not only is personality unrelated to the different halves of the brain, but people aren’t really right — or left-brained to begin with. The idea that we have left-dominant people and right-dominant people, and that this is related to personality, is categorically false. That’s never been supported in the neuroscience community. Neuroscientists don’t believe that and never have. What scientists learned is that there are really important differences between the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. It’s just that they have nothing to do with personality or whether cognitive strategy is more logical or free spirited or creative. While researchers have shown the limitations of how the hemispheres of our brains influence our lives, it’s not difficult to understand the appeal of such ideas. People are endlessly fascinated by themselves and their friends, and the subtle differences in how people think about the world are really meaningful to them. When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. 5. What do numerous personality quizzes online claim they are able to do? A. Distinguish between the two hemispheres of one’s brain. B. Determine whether one is left-brained or right-brained. C. Tell if one is more of a linguist or of a mathematician. D. Figure out how one’s brain performs different tasks. 6. What does the underlined word “woven” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Scattered. B. Lifted. C. Integrated. D. Hidden. 7. Why did many scientists disagree that different brain areas do different things? A. It contradicts the assumption that the two hemispheres of the brain are symmetrical. B. It dismisses the view that the universe has been evolving in a consistent manner. C. It goes against the idea that the left and right halves of the brain work together. D. It disrupts the idea that the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body. 8. What are we advised to do with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves? A. Challenge its authority. B. Examine its originality. C. Evaluate its popularity. D. Question its reliability. Passage 3 Imagine this: You’re tapping on your phone. Instantly, you’re taken to vlogs on Xiaohongshu, where peers are speaking fluent English with foreigners, debating in cafes or attending exchange programs in Sydney. Seeing these glamorous lives, you may ask: Why does everyone else’s life look perfect — except mine? Social media gives us a glimpse into lives we might never see otherwise. However, it also makes the differences between people’s lives more apparent. While international school students can wear makeup without being judged for it, others wake up before sunrise, study through lunch, and stay at school until 10:30 p. m. After seeing such contrasts, curiosity about the world slowly turns into anxiety — or even frustration. But what you see online isn’t the full picture. Most students in the country live similar lives to yours, but they simply don’t share them online. Even if they do, their posts are rarely noticed or recommended by algorithms. Worse still, the more of these vlogs a person watches, the more similar contents the platform feeds them. Without realizing it, young people may get trapped in an information cocoon created by the platform. In today’s world of endless social media, knowing how to question the content we see is an important skill. How can we stay logical and see the real world clearly? That’s what matters. We need to remember that social media is naturally selective. People usually share moments of success, beauty or excitement, not their daily struggles, failures or ordinary routines. Lighting, camera angles and filters(滤镜) can change how things appear. It’s also important to ask questions. Why was this posted? Who benefits from me seeing this? That video of students debating in a cafe may well be sponsored by the cafe. Ads, sponsorships and algorithms often decide what we see. Platforms also have a responsibility. They should set rules that require influencers to clearly label sponsored or edited contents. It’s also important to monitor platforms in ways that protect mental health. When we use apps wisely, we can go from being passive viewers to active users and creators. I recommend that these platforms should provide us with new approaches to learning and growing, not leave us feeling stressed. 9. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To show the appealing online lives. B. To explain how to live a great digital life. C. To prove that social media can cause some problems. D. To introduce the topic of social media anxiety. 10. What does the underlined phrase “information cocoon” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A state for users to get limited information. B. A rule for users to customize contents. C. A space for users to learn diverse knowledge. D. A tool for platforms to filter out useless contents. 11. Why does the author mention the video in paragraph 6? A. To promote debate videos. B. To sponsor the behavior of platforms. C. To show the benefit of ads and algorithms. D. To prove the importance of raising questions. 12. What does the author suggest platforms do? A. Offer users new ways to grow. B. Set rules to edit contents. C. Protect users’ visual health. D. Leave users feeling worried. Passage 4 (2025-2026学年度山东省泰安肥城市高一上学期期中英语试题)Today, friendships can develop between people from different countries or even different time zones. Internets help people stay connected, no matter where they are. However, this convenience also has downsides. Real friendships usually grow from spending time together in person, having deep talks, or sharing important experiences. But online friendships often depend on short messages, funny pictures (like memes), or quick comments, which don’t create the same strong connection. When we chat online, we miss important cues (提示) such as tone of voice, facial expression and body language. Because of lack of these cues, online communication leaves a lot of room for misunderstandings. What’s meant as a harmless joke could easily be taken the wrong way. Online friendships will never really replace (替代) the feeling of face-to-face communication because online, people are sharing information not true feelings.   Meeting friends in person actually makes our brains send out dopamine (多巴胺), a chemical that makes us feel happy. Studies show that people who communicate online with friends get 50% less dopamine than those who meet face to face. That’s why online communication can leave us feeling more tired than satisfied. But we don’t have to give up online friendships entirely. Online friendships offer chances to connect, learn, and find support. We can make them more meaningful. One side is using VR avatars that mimic (模仿) real-life gestures and expressions. Another is “Screen-free Saturdays”, where people take a break from the Internet to focus on real-world connections. Some friendships, like those among online gamers, even combine both online and offline communications — they play games together virtually and also meet in person when possible. 13. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Online friendships can be more natural. B. Traditional friendships are more meaningful. C. Online friendships can’t make deeper connections. D. Traditional friendships can connect people quickly. 14. What does the underlined word “lack” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Absence. B. Error. C. Difference. D. Change. 15. Why is dopamine mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To show its role in improving health. B. To explain its influence on making friends. C. To show why online communication feels tiring. D. To explain why face-to-face communication is easy. 16. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advice on making offline friends. B. Ways to improve online friendships. C. Advantages of playing online games. D. Reasons for quitting traditional friendships. Passage 5 A new draft rule has been released in China to make the online world safer. The rule requires that serious damage to important computer systems or the theft of key data must be reported to internet authorities quickly. The main goal of this policy is to reduce potential harm and better protect the nation’s critical digital infrastructure. The rule clearly defines what is considered an “extremely serious” cybersecurity event. This includes a complete stoppage of key information systems for six hours or more. It is also seen as extremely serious if a cyberattack leads to the leakage of a huge amount of personal information or affects the daily lives of a large part of a province’s population. Furthermore, if major government or news websites are inaccessible for over 24 hours due to attacks, they fall into this most serious category. For these extremely serious cases, the related companies must report to the authorities within one hour. The report should be more than just a simple notice. It must contain a detailed description of the event, including its duration and impact. The rule also demands a first study of the incident, providing information on possible attackers, the methods they used, and any system weaknesses they took advantage of. This helps authorities understand and respond to the threat more effectively. Companies that fail to report or provide false information will face punishment. The new rule also encourages any individual or social organization to report cybersecurity problems they discover. This policy is part of China’s broader efforts to strengthen online safety. In recent years, the country has already passed specific laws and its police have worked harder to fight against cybercrime, showing a strong commitment to building a safer digital environment for everyone. 17. What does the passage aim to do? A. To describe a new cybersecurity rule. B. To warn people about the dangers of hackers. C. To explain how to steal crucial data. D. To introduce the history of the internet. 18. What can be inferred from the new rule about reporting incidents? A. Companies are expected to handle all cyberattacks alone. B. The government values detailed and timely information. C. Most companies are already very good at reporting. D. Reporting is only necessary for government websites. 19. What is required in the incident report for an extremely serious case according to the passage? A. The exact names of the attackers. B. The company’s future business plans. C. A study of the attack methods and weaknesses. D. The amount of money lost in the incident. 20. Why does the government encourage the public to report cybersecurity issues? A. To create a shared sense of responsibility. B. To prove that the public is more knowledgeable. C. To reduce the workload of the police. D. To make it easier to catch specific companies. Passage 6 (2025-2026学年度重庆市高一上学期10月月考英语试题)The Internet has changed the way we live and learn. For students, it can be a valuable tool for research and communication. However, it also has some drawbacks. One advantage of the Internet is the easy access to information. Students can find answers to their questions quickly by searching online. They can also read news and articles from around the world, which helps broaden their horizons. Another advantage is the ability to communicate. Students can use email or social media to discuss schoolwork with classmates or ask teachers questions outside of class time. On the other hand, the Internet can be distracting. With so many games, videos, and social media platforms, it is easy to waste time online instead of studying. Also, not all information on the Internet is accurate. Students need to learn how to evaluate the sources they find. In conclusion, the Internet is a powerful tool, but students should use it wisely to support their learning. 21. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The history of the Internet. B. The advantages and disadvantages of the Internet for students. C. How to use social media for learning. D. The dangers of online games. 22. According to the passage, how can the Internet help broaden students' horizons? A. By providing online games. B. By allowing them to read global news. C. By offering fast communication tools. D. By helping them make friends online. 23. What is mentioned as a disadvantage of the Internet? A. It is too expensive for students. B. It can be a distraction from study. C. It makes communication difficult. D. It reduces the need for teachers. 24. What should students do when they find information online? A. Believe everything they read. B. Only use websites recommended by teachers. C. Learn to evaluate the sources. D. Avoid using it for schoolwork. Passage 7 The video clip starts with a warning. “If you believe ignorance is bliss(福),” it says, “don’t watch this video.” As an influencer slices fruit on a cutting board, a series of claims descend down the screen — about what she says is actually in peanut butter and vanilla flavoring, among other things. It’s the kind of post that has become common in the online wellness world, where high-profile voices often express doubts about the establishment. But what makes this influencer unusual is her age. She’s only 17, and a high school junior. Ava Noe, a teenager based in the Boston area, has amassed more than 25,000 followers. She is just one of a number of young influencers who appeal to other health-conscious kids their age. The teens’ videos, while at times factually questionable, highlight a desire among some to avoid the chronic(慢性) illnesses and other conditions that have long affected their elders. But the health craze has unnerved medical experts and educators. Teens are sourcing health information from wellness influencers, leading to misinformed or oversimplified views; some even want to become wellness influencers themselves. Ms. Noe started her own account in 2023, after she was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and began searching for “alternative ways” to heal, she said. “I was just desperate for something.” She descended into a social media rabbit hole and became fascinated by the idea of eating and living “clean.” Today, she likes to use chatbots to ask about the benefits of, say, red light therapy(治疗) , and then read the suggested studies. Danielle Shine, an accredited dietitian in Australia, urges people to consult qualified professionals for nutritional information, not online posts that lean on “fear” and “sensationalism,” warning that certain content can lead to medical complications and consequences. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, though, can get in the way of typical teenage pursuits. There are times, Ms. Noe acknowledged, when she ends a night with friends early. “I just want to go home, do my red light therapy and go to bed,” she said. 25. What purpose does the opening warning mainly serve? A. To question the video’s credibility. B. To establish guidelines for viewers. C. To create anticipation for the content. D. To remove the influencer’s responsibility. 26. Which title would Ava Noe most likely use for her video? A. Medical Literature Overview B. Expert Roundtable on Living Clean C. Why Conventional Wisdom Matters D. What They Don’t Want You to Know 27. What does Danielle Shine suggest people do? A. Post reliable information. B. Get over personal fear. C. Seek expert consultation. D. Prepare for potential risks. 28. What does Ava Noe’s lifestyle suggest about her? A. Trend-following. B. Self-disciplined. C. Fun-loving D. Eco-aware. Passage 8 Mark never stops socialising with his friends online. But he’s also never felt more alone. Where am I? What am I doing? If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance, so I’m constantly posting updates on social media—whether I’m having a coffee, on my way to school, watching TV... even when I’m in the shower. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I check through all my social networking apps, read my emails and answer text messages. I do the same thing all over again while I’m having breakfast. I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. I have a never-ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online. Yet the truth of the matter is: I feel lonely. I’m barely the only person who feels this way. According to research, over two-thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person, but I’m wired up every day, like most of my friends. On the surface, I have an active social life. I attend parties and play sports but I’m always distracted. They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality, my mind is always a million miles away. I obsess over exactly how many followers I have on my account, but I can’t remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mates. Social networking dominates my life in so many ways. Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7.50 pm, I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa. I download song after song, video after video, but I’m not really paying attention. The stimulation is in chasing after the next song rather than truly enjoying it. My friends try to drag me away from my phone, but as soon as I’m alone again, I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides. I constantly feel depressed, dissatisfied and alone. Since I spend so much time socialising online, I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework, tasks, connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way. It’s funny that my friends and I chatter away online so much, but we end up having nothing to say when we meet. A few days ago, I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends. My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call. Some spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them. And the extraordinary thing is nobody thought this was rude; it’s just how life is nowadays. On a family holiday last summer, my sister spent all her time complaining that she needed to charge her phone. When it was charged, she just spent hours reading about her favourite popstar; not once did she lift her head to enjoy the view outside her window. What is really worrying is that no one I know, including myself, could go cold turkey. I can’t even imagine going without social networking for a week—think of all the important appointments, invitations and news updates you would miss! Alcoholics who want to quit drinking can avoid booze, but how do we give up our phones? After all, I need it for my studies because my teachers and classmates need to contact me at any time. So, that’s the problem with social networking. We’re hard-wired in, but we’re more disconnected than ever.Ⅰ. Read the text carefully and choose the best answer. 29.

Passage 9 According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists(语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’s languages will have died. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back with great effort. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world. For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back(反弹) and survive. 33. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show? A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language development. C. Human activity has an influence on languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 34. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do? A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 35. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project? A. It is portable but very expensive. B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 36. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph? A. stay alive. B. die out. C. come back. D. pass down. Passage 10 Online short-form video has shifted from a casual entertainment to a constant background in many children’s lives. What used to fill a spare moment now shapes how young people relax, communicate, and form opinions, with short-form video platforms drawing in hundreds of millions of under-18s through endlessly personalized feeds. Offering quick routes to humour, trends and connection, these platforms encourage long sessions of rapid scrolling(滑动) that can be difficult for young users to manage. They were never built with children in mind, although many children use them daily and often alone. Problematic use is less about minutes spent and more about patterns where scrolling becomes hard to stop. Short-form videos (typically between 15 and 90 seconds) are engineered to capture the brain’s desire for novelty. Each scrolling promises something different. Because the feed rarely pauses, the natural breaks that help attention reset disappear. Over time, this can affect children’s mood, attention, schoolwork and relationships. Sleep is one of the clearest areas where short-form video can take a toll. Many children view screens when they should be sleeping. The bright light delays the release of melatonin(褪黑激素), which helps regulate sleep, making it harder for them to fall asleep. And the emotional highs and lows of rapid content make it particularly difficult for the brain to settle. These sleep disturbances affect mood, emotional stability and memory. Exposure to material children never intended to see adds risk. Because short videos appear instantly and autoplay, children can be shown violent footage(画面) or harmful challenges before they have time to look away. Unlike longer videos, short-form content provides almost no warning or emotional preparation. A single scrolling can produce a sudden shift from silly to disturbing. New guidelines encourage schools to integrate online safety into courses. At home, open conversation and simple routines like keeping devices out of bedrooms can help. Short-form videos can be creative and comforting. With thoughtful support, children can enjoy them without harming wellbeing. 37. How do short-form video platforms attract so many kids? A. Through continuous amusement-focused content. B. Through constantly tailored information streams. C. By interacting with kids through their videos. D.

Passage 11 When Karyna Kovalevska, an 18-year-old Ukrainian, first came to China in 2019 for a Confucius Institute summer exchange in Anhui, she never thought China would become her second home. She struggled yet felt excited about learning Chinese, and was deeply touched by the kindness of Chinese people, falling in love with the country and promising to come back. Three years later, she kept her promise, settling in Yuncheng, Shanxi with her Chinese husband. She started posting short videos on Xiaohongshu, Weibo and Douyin to record her daily life. For Karyna, creation is about earnestness rather than gaining attention. Her unscripted videos capture real moments, aiming to show the true open, safe and kind China to the world and break overseas stereotypes. Her food-related videos, especially those about creative vinegar snacks in Yuncheng, are the most popular. She has gained thousands of followers at home and abroad, with 95 percent of positive comments warming her heart. Having lived in China for over three years, Karyna has a strong sense of belonging, regarding China as the happiest place she has ever lived, constantly moved by the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 41. What made Karyna fall in love with China during her 2019 visit? A. The easy process of learning Chinese. B. The warm treatment from Chinese people. C. The similar culture between China and Ukraine. D. The various short video platforms in China. 42. What does the underlined word “earnestness” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Being creative. B. Being popular. C. Being honest. D. Being attentive. 43.

Very often, we are persuaded(劝说) to buy a product or service because of what we see on the television, hear on the radio, or read on social media. Advertising has encouraged the shift from needs-based to wants-based production. Advertising techniques that get consumers to buy more to get greater discount(折扣), often attract consumers to buy what they do not need to enjoy more benefits. For one, tech companies are constantly producing new products and their advertisements highlight the positive features of the latest models, persuading consumers to throw away their old devices and buy new ones. Similarly, advertising keeps on promoting new trends and styles, encouraging people to discard their out-of-fashion items for trendier ones. Advertising also encourages an addictive behaviour that results in repetitive buying. To persuade buyers to repeat their purchase (购买), companies often use some attractive methods such as limited-time discounts. Buyers who do not want to miss out on a good deal, would buy again even if they have no need for the product. Some may argue that advertising can play an important role in persuading people towards lasting living, and leading a less wasteful lifestyle, such as in the case of advertising second-hand clothes. Advertising has also successfully changed buyers’ opinions of second- hand clothes as “cheap” and “dirty”, promoting them as eco-friendly and stylish. However, the promise of companies towards sustainability(可持续发展) remains low. Advertising is still the main tool for companies to promote their brands, and ultimately make more money. Still, many believe that effective advertising is the key driving force that enables mass-produced products to be sold quickly, with even social media sales relying heavily on persuasive techniques to attract the users of social media. However, some people believe that FOMO (fear of missing out) is an even more powerful force to persuade buyers to spend on things they do not need. It is FOMO that persuades people to join a long line to buy something they probably have no need for, based on social media posts of purchases that friends have made. Nowadays, people are spending more on things they do not need. However, advertising does not necessarily result in us being more wasteful. It is a matter of personal choice. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Although advertisements may appear in front of us anytime and anywhere, we should need to correctly tell the differences between what we need and what we want. Just keep a clear mind. 45. How has advertising encouraged the shift from needs-based to wants-based production? A. By increasing the amount of advertising. B. By highlighting the price of the latest products. C. By providing more attractions to the consumers. D. By telling companies to throw away out-of-fashion products. 46. The underlined word “addictive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “making people _________ something” A. interested in trying B. unable to stop doing C. worried about missing D. happy to throw away 47. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. the misleading of advertising is the main reason for more waste B. advertising fails to change buyers’ opinions about second-hand items C. social media has more powerful force to persuade buyers than FOMO D. FOMO can lead people to buy something that they might have no need for 48. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce some useful advertising techniques. B. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of advertising. C. To explain why advertising brings buyers a wasteful lifestyle. D. To advise people to make right choices when facing advertisements. Passage 13 Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities - famous people - worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.” The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C. , painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already. 49. It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________. A. are often misunderstood by the public B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance D. care little about how they have come into fame 50. What does the underlined words mean? A. to lose their way back B. to forget their own names C. to forget their true selves D. to lose their memories 51. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids. B. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers. C. Great heroes of the past were generally admired. D. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history. 52. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity? A. Sympathetic. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. Passage 14 Classics are the gems(宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people instead enjoy these classics in online video series. According to a 2023 report by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in fleeting moments. “I watch them on the subway, in a queue or before bed. Short videos combine text, images and expressions, providing a better experience than just reading text alone,” a man surnamed Zhang told Xinhua. The fearsome length and complexity(复杂性) of classics are also reasons why some people, especially teenagers, are turning to literature vloggers (video bloggers) for help. A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. It explores themes like family, society and human nature. However, these very qualities make the novel challenging for some students, who find it boring or even sleep-inducing(困倦的) . “There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot,” said 12-year-old ShaoXinyan from Hubei. “Some vloggers use a mind map to clearly show their relationship.” While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and concerns. For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey in which people form a personal connection with the text, not just absorbing facts. “Books that inspire my imagination, like fantasy adventures and historical stories, demand a deeper connection. Videos, although convenient, can’t fully present the small details of a well-written story,” said Zhang. Eighteen-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 53. Why do more people turn to short videos for classic literature? A. Short videos save time and offer vivid experiences. B. Classic books are often too out-of-date to be popular. C. They’re lacking in the motivation of reading completely. D. Video platforms provide more and more book-related content. 54. What makes A Dream of Red Mansions challenging for some students? A. Its unfamiliar themes and brief description. B. Its focus on ancient social culture in China. C. Its poetic language and various characters. D. Its unique writing features and target readers. 55. What is Zhang Boren’s opinion on enjoying classics via videos? A. Videos contribute more to inspiring imagination. B. Reading books increases readers’ independence. C. Reading books for readers is only to absorb facts. D. Videos are unlikely to contain all original details. 56. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Watch” the Classics B. “Update” the Videos C. “Approach” Literature D. “Play” with Vloggers Passage 15 Classics are the gems(宝石) of the literary world.

Passage 2 (2025-2026学年度四川省成都市金牛区联考高一上学期11月期中英语试题) Practical Tips for Parenting Teens Teens spend a lot of time online. In fact, a report from Common Sense Media says that they spend nearly one-third of their day on media. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. 6 . Begin conversations early. There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. 7 . Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s necessary that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world. 8 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends(趋势) of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to keep pace with what your kid does online. Also, there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources to help parents feel less nervous and more connected. Search the Internet. Make random Internet searches of your kid’s full name and nicknames along with the location, like residential state or city, to see if you pull up any surprising information. Also, check for images and video in case your kid was tagged in a post he or she didn’t know about. If you find inappropriate(不合适的) content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. 9 . Teach the basics. 10 . A practical rule for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline. We live in a day and age where kids need our help understanding the complexities of interacting socially online and offline. And they want our help perhaps more than we may even know. A. Stay current with what’s trending. B. Keep up with kids’ online behaviors. C. If not, repeat the procedure until you find any. D. These conversations need to be a priority and occur regularly. E. If need be, contact the service provider to help take it down. F. Fortunately, there are some ways to stay connected and keep kids safe. G. Kids should understand that device ownership comes with a high level of self-control. Passage 3 In today’s digital world, short-form videos have become an essential part of daily life, especially for teenagers. Some platforms have changed how we consume content, providing quick, interesting videos for our fast-paced lives. But why are these videos so attractive? 11 The following sections will explore the psychology(心理学) behind short-form videos, their impact on teenagers, and how to find a healthy balance. Short-form videos are designed to attract attention quickly. Studies show that the average human attention span has dropped to just 8 seconds, making it harder to focus on long content. 12 They also provide quick pleasure by releasing dopamine, a brain chemical linked to happiness and reward, which keeps viewers coming back for more. However, the appeal of short-form videos comes with risks. 13 In 2024, the term “brain rot” gained popularity to describe how watching too much low-quality online content may change the way our brain works, leading not only to poor concentration but also to anxiety. Moreover, the constant stream of information can limit deep thinking and connection with the world around us. 14 Setting time limits on device usage, choosing educational content, and taking part in offline activities are practical steps for teens. Parents can set good examples by reducing their own screen time. Schools can teach digital skills, helping students critically analyze content and manage their time online. Finally, short-form videos are not basically bad — they are tools that can be used wisely. By understanding their psychological appeal and managing usage mindfully, teenagers can enjoy the benefits of these platforms while avoiding their disadvantages. 15 A. The social aspect cannot be overlooked. B. These videos feed our brains’ demand for instant excitement. C. Finding balance ensures technology improves life, not controls it. D. It is not just a trend but is deeply rooted in psychological principles. E. And what are the possible risks of spending too much time on them? F. Over-consuming short-form videos can weaken long-term concentration. G. To overcome these challenges, teenagers, families, and schools can work together. Passage 4 When you create a social networking profile, a photo is almost always required. 16 One of the reasons is that it says much more about you than you might think, according to a study published in the journal Cyberpsychology Behavior, and Social Networking. 17 The factors that shape people’s ratings of our attractiveness based on profile photos are complicated—they don’t just take things at face value. So what really influences people when making oneself look good? Researchers studied 104 college students by showing them various photos of the same user on a social network. 18 One is social cues, which the study’s authors defined as personal and social information about the user that could be gathered from the photo. The other is congruence(一致性), which was measured in terms of the positivity of comments associated with each photo. Photos with social cues that revealed more about the user were rated highly in terms of physical attractiveness. 19 What’s more, the researchers noted, the tone of the comments had more effect on attractiveness ratings than did social cues present in the photos. “When other people’s comments are incongruent with the self-presentation,” the authors wrote, “participants were less likely to perceive(察觉) the profile owner to be more popular than when there is congruence, regardless of the amount of social cues present in the profile.” So your profile photos don’t necessarily have to be model-like. Photos that show your social relationships or hobbies are actually more important for your attractiveness. And if you want to build up a certain image, keep an eye on the comments being left on your social networking profiles. 20 A. They tested reactions to two factors. B. Choosing the right photo is important. C. A pretty photo may not be enough, the study shows. D. That’s because people’s comments are most important for your popularity. E. Therefore, attaching a wonderful photo can surely guarantee you a great job. F. Many university students rely on computer software to make their profile photos shine. G. Meanwhile, positive comments led viewers to regard users as more socially attractive. Passage 5 Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox(脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. 21 Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life: Determine your problem times Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. 22 Identify your top two or three problem situations. 23 Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling(滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want. Try a substitute 24 It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. 25 And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens. A. Identify your true desire. B. Determine your pain points. C. Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied. D. But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance. E. Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping. F. Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time. G. If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step.

She regularly posts artworks and travel photos on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or joins in private conversations. “I love sharing colourful moments of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally tired”, she admits. Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over a lot of emotional connections on the Internet. Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once an important centre for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of looking for active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of others’ comments. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow online ties. This change comes from their desire to run away from great pressure brought by empty digital interactions. While critics consider light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by applying this approach, young people regain control over their online space — sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others’ expectations. Even social platforms have developed to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, showing the widespread acceptance of light socializing. In a world closely bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It’s not about turning their backs on people, but about looking for a healthier and more independent way to be online. This trend shows the younger generation’s maturity(成熟) in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions. 1. What does the underlined word “prioritizes” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Largely ignores. B. Greatly changes. C. Wisely avoids. D. Values more. 2. What does Min Li think social media has become for young people now? A. A tool to look for information. B. A center for deep relationships. C. A platform for personal display. D. A space to ease negative feelings. 3. What can be inferred about “light socializing”? A. It balances expression and safety. B. It requires strong social ability. C. It relies mainly on platforms’ settings. D. It makes young people emotionally cold. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Keep Silent Mode On B. Keep the Digital Distance C. Social Media: Free Self-Expression D. Emotional Coldness: Online Life’s Secret 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以26岁的杭州插画师Lina为例，阐述了在数字时代，年轻人在社交媒体上呈现出“轻社交”的趋势，即注重自我表达而非深度情感联系，这种趋势反映了年轻人对心理健康的守护，是一种有前瞻性和深思熟虑的现代社交互动方式。 1. 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中的“Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over a lot of emotional connections on the Internet.(Lina的态度代表了当今年轻人中日益增长的一种趋势：轻度社交化，这种模式……自我表达，而非在互联网上建立大量的情感联系。)”以及最后一段“In a world closely bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It’s not about turning their backs on people, but about looking for a healthier and more independent way to be online.(在一个紧密依赖数字连接的世界里，轻松的社交活动能够恰到好处地平衡自我表达与隐私保护这两者之间的关系。这并非是要与他人断绝联系，而是要寻找一种更健康、更独立的线上生活方式。)”可知，Lina的这种轻度社交模式，这种模式是一种更健康、更独立的线上生活方式，更重视自我表达，而非网络上的情感联系。由此可推知，划线单词“prioritizes”的意思是“重视”，与D项“Values more(更重视)”意思相近。故选D项。 2. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once an important centre for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation.(社会学家李敏观察到，社交媒体曾经是发展人际关系的重要中心，现在已经变成了年轻一代的“自我展示”平台。)”可知，社会学家李敏认为，社交媒体现在已成为年轻一代的“自我展示”平台。故选C项。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“In a world closely bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It’s not about turning their backs on people, but about looking for a healthier and more independent way to be online.(在一个由数字连接紧密联系的世界里，轻度社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡。这不是要背弃他人，而是要寻找一种更健康、更独立的线上生活方式。)”可知，在一个由数字连接紧密联系的世界里，轻度社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡，即它平衡了表达和安全。故选A项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over a lot of emotional connections on the Internet.(Lina的态度代表了当今年轻人中日益增长的一种趋势：轻度社交化，这种模式将自我表达置于网络上的大量情感联系之上。)”以及最后一段中的“In a world closely bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection.(在一个由数字连接紧密联系的世界里，轻度社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡。)”可知，本文主要论述了当下年轻人的一种社交趋势——轻度社交，这种社交模式在网络自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡，B项“Keep the Digital Distance(保持数字距离)”是适合本文的标题。故选B项。 例题2 (2026届湖北省武汉市高三元月调考英语试卷)Many of us get lost in social media. Worldwide, the average adult spends more than 2. 5 hours per day immersed in social apps. All that scrolling(滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem. 1 Here are some strategies to help reset your relationship with social media. 2 When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps. For example, “I use social media to connect with others, to learn new things daily, to record my life, and to express myself creatively, ” or “I do not use social media as a replacement for IRL. ” Write your own version, and stick it to your desk or wherever you might be distracted to mindlessly scroll. Set specific goals Committing to using social media less is too general a resolution to be effective. Instead, set specific goals or boundaries. 3 Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. Go on an unfollowing spree(狂欢) Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas. 4 Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate. Make a list of scrolling substitutes If you weren’t scrolling through social media posts, what would you be doing? Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. 5 A. Craft a mission statement. B. Record your personal preference. C. So take the time to think about what’s working. D. At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it. E. Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day. F. You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses. G. There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. E 4. F 5. G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出过度使用社交媒体的危害，并介绍拟定使用宗旨、设定目标等四种调整社交媒体使用方式的策略。 1. 由上文“All that scrolling(滚屏) can cause harm: too much social media use is linked with loneliness, depressive symptoms and poor self-esteem.(所有这些刷屏行为都会造成伤害：过度使用社交媒体与孤独感、抑郁症状和自卑心理有关)”可知，前文指出了过度使用社交媒体的危害，空格处需要承接这一内容，进一步说明人们使用社交媒体时的状态。D项“At times we’re not even aware of how we’re using it.(有时我们甚至都没意识到自己是如何使用它的)”符合语境，既衔接了前文的危害，又引出下文调整社交媒体使用方式的策略。故选D项。 2. 由下文“When you start to feel overwhelmed by social media, return to a “tech intentions” document: a record of the ways you will and will not use the apps.(当你开始因社交媒体感到不知所措时，不妨回到一份“科技使用目标”文档：一份记录你将以何种方式、不以何种方式使用这些应用的清单)”可知，该段建议撰写一份明确社交媒体使用原则的文档，核心是制定使用准则。A项“Craft a mission statement.(拟定一份使用宗旨。)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为小标题。故选A项。 3. 由上文“Instead, set specific goals or boundaries.(相反，要设定明确的目标或界限)”和下文“Then, set up systems to make that possible: Put your phone in another room, or put it on “do not disturb”. (然后，建立相应的机制来实现这个目标：把手机放到另一个房间，或者调成“勿扰模式”)” 可知，空格处需要填入一个具体的社交媒体使用目标的例子。E项“Maybe you get three 20-minute social media sessions per day.(比如你可以每天分三次使用社交媒体，每次20分钟)”是明确的使用界限，符合上下文逻辑。故选E项。 4. 由上文“Is it serving you to keep getting updates about your friends, or from the reality stars? Maybe you’re no longer crazy about baby pandas and are now on to quokkas.(持续关注朋友或真人秀明星的动态对你有意义吗？也许你已经不再痴迷熊猫幼崽，转而喜欢短尾矮袋鼠了)”和下文“Unfollow the accounts that are no longer fulfilling a role, and instead seek out those that are inspiring, educational, or related to hobbies you’d like to cultivate.(取消关注那些不再发挥作用的账户，而是寻找那些鼓舞人心、有教育意义或与你想培养的爱好相关的账户)”可知，空格处需要举一个不再需要关注的账号例子。F项“You have finished the party and don’t need to keep seeing fancy dresses.(你已经参加完派对，就没必要再看那些华丽的礼服了)”符合语境，与前文的例子并列，支撑“取关无意义账号”的观点。故选F项。 5. 由上文“Make a list of activities you enjoy — and make sure they’re intellectually, emotionally, or physically feeding you. You might go for a walk, read a book, take up the guitar, or try out some crafting projects. (列一张你喜欢的活动清单——确保这些活动能让你在精神、情感或身体上有所收获。比如散步、读书、学吉他或者尝试一些手工制作)”可知，空格处需要承接手工制作这类活动，说明其能避免无意识刷社交媒体的作用。G项“There’s no way to check Facebook if your fingers are busy weaving clothes.(如果你的手指忙着织布，就没空去刷脸书了)”用具体例子说明了替代活动如何减少社交媒体使用，符合语境。故选G项。 阅读理解 Passage 1 (2025-2026学年度重庆西南大学附属中学上学期期末考试高一英语试题)In recent years, social media has become an important part of teenagers’ daily lives However, concerns over its negative effects have continued to grow. In response to this background, the Australian government recently announced a plan to ban children under the age of 16 from owning or using social media accounts, which has caused widespread debate both at home and abroad. According to the proposal, popular platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat should be required to take stronger measures to prevent underage users from registering accounts The government believes that social media can expose young people to harmful content, online bullying and unrealistic standards of beauty and success, which may damage their mental health. Studies have shown that too much screen time is linked to anxiety, depression and poor sleep among teenagers. Therefore, reducing screen time is also a goal. Supporters of the ban argue that it is a necessary step to protect children during a critical stage of development. They point out that teenagers often lack the ability to tell right from wrong online and are more likely to be influenced by misleading information. In their view, limiting access to social media could encourage young people to spend more time on face-to-face communication, physical activity and academic work. However, critics(批评家) question whether the ban can be effectively carried out. They argue that many teenagers are already skilled at bypassing age requirements by providing false information when signing up. In addition, some experts warn that a complete ban may prevent young people from developing digital literacy skills that are important in modern society. Instead of banning social media, they suggest educating teenagers on how to use these platforms responsibly. Despite the disagreement, the Australian government insists that protecting children’s well-being must come first. Officials say the policy is not meant to prevent teenagers from the digital world, but to create a safer online environment for them. Whether the ban will achieve its intended goals remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly raised important questions about the role of social media in young people’s lives. 1. Why did the Australian government propose the ban (on social media)? A. To stop children from using the Internet. B. To reduce harmful influences on children. C. To punish platforms for misleading content. D. To promote children’s academic performance. 2. What can we learn about teenagers from Paragraph 3? A. They often fail to judge online content and get influenced. B. They suffer from mental health issues due to social media. C. They spend too much time on face-to-face communication. D. They have limited access to social media and online activities 3. What does the underlined word “bypassing” in Paragraph 4 mean A. Obeying. B. Controlling. C. Avoiding. D. Accepting 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Australia’s efforts to protect teenagers from social media. B. The influence of social media on teenagers’ mental health. C. Different views on Australia’s social media ban for teenagers. D. The measures to create a safe online environment for teenagers. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍澳大利亚计划禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体，并呈现了人们对此的不同观点。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The government believes that social media can expose young people to harmful content, online bullying and unrealistic standards of beauty and success, which may damage their mental health.(政府认为，社交媒体会让青少年接触有害内容、网络霸凌以及不切实际的审美与成功标准，这可能损害他们的心理健康。)”可知，澳大利亚政府提出禁令是为了减少对儿童的有害影响。故选B项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They point out that teenagers often lack the ability to tell right from wrong online and are more likely to be influenced by misleading information.(他们指出，青少年往往缺乏辨别网络是非的能力，更容易被误导性信息影响。)”可知，青少年常常无法判断网上内容并容易受影响。故选A项。 3. 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“They argue that many teenagers are already skilled at bypassing age requirements by providing false information when signing up.(他们认为，许多青少年已经擅长通过注册时提供虚假信息来bypassing年龄限制。)”可知，提供虚假信息目的是绕过年龄限制。bypassing 意为“避开、绕过”。故选C项。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In response to this background, the Australian government recently announced a plan to ban children under the age of 16 from owning or using social media accounts, which has caused widespread debate both at home and abroad.(在此背景下，澳大利亚政府最近宣布了一项禁止16岁以下儿童拥有或使用社交媒体账户的计划，这在国内外引发了广泛争论。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们对澳大利亚这项青少年社交媒体禁令的不同观点。故选C项。 Passage 2 There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical and excel at language and math while right-brained people are more imaginative, emotionally intelligent and skilled with spatial reasoning. There’s just one problem: That’s not how brains work. Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. Despite this enduring belief, there’s no such thing as being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. Whether you’re someone who tends more towards creativity or logic has nothing to do with one hemisphere(半球) of your brain being dominant over the other. But the actual science of how the two halves of our brains work together is sometimes stranger than fiction. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. In all vertebrate(脊椎的) animals, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa. And scientists have long known, thanks to the behaviors of patients who suffered brain injuries, that different areas of the brain do different things. But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry(对称). Work by neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) has revealed the importance of different hemispheres of the brain for different activities. However, their research quickly saw some misinterpretations in the general public: Some presumed creative people must be right-brained and logical people left-brained. It is proven that not only is personality unrelated to the different halves of the brain, but people aren’t really right — or left-brained to begin with. The idea that we have left-dominant people and right-dominant people, and that this is related to personality, is categorically false. That’s never been supported in the neuroscience community. Neuroscientists don’t believe that and never have. What scientists learned is that there are really important differences between the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. It’s just that they have nothing to do with personality or whether cognitive strategy is more logical or free spirited or creative. While researchers have shown the limitations of how the hemispheres of our brains influence our lives, it’s not difficult to understand the appeal of such ideas. People are endlessly fascinated by themselves and their friends, and the subtle differences in how people think about the world are really meaningful to them. When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. 5. What do numerous personality quizzes online claim they are able to do? A. Distinguish between the two hemispheres of one’s brain. B. Determine whether one is left-brained or right-brained. C. Tell if one is more of a linguist or of a mathematician. D. Figure out how one’s brain performs different tasks. 6. What does the underlined word “woven” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Scattered. B. Lifted. C. Integrated. D. Hidden. 7. Why did many scientists disagree that different brain areas do different things? A. It contradicts the assumption that the two hemispheres of the brain are symmetrical. B. It dismisses the view that the universe has been evolving in a consistent manner. C. It goes against the idea that the left and right halves of the brain work together. D. It disrupts the idea that the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body. 8. What are we advised to do with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves? A. Challenge its authority. B. Examine its originality. C. Evaluate its popularity. D. Question its reliability. 【答案】5. B 6. C 7. A 8. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了网络上流行的关于左右脑主导性格的说法，指出这种说法并不科学，并解释了大脑两半球的实际功能差异与性格无关。 5. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more dominant. (有无数的在线性格测试声称可以确定你的左脑或右脑哪个更占主导地位)”可知，许多在线性格测试声称能够确定一个人是左脑型还是右脑型。故选B项。 6. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon. (科普爱好者们接受了这个想法并广泛传播，现在它已经woven在流行文化中，不会很快消失)”可知，这种观点已经广泛传播并根植于流行文化之中，成为其一部分。因此，“woven”在此处意为“融入，交织为一体”，与C项“Integrated”同义。故选C项。 7. 细节理解题。根据第五段“But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry (对称). (但许多科学家对这一观点感到困扰，因为大脑左右半球运作方式不同的说法，破坏了自然界倾向于完美对称的观念)”可知，许多科学家不同意大脑不同区域负责不同功能，是因为这与大脑两半球对称性的假设相矛盾。故选A项。 8. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt. (当你推出一个能告诉我们一些关于自己的东西的在线测试时，我们会被它吸引。这很诱人。但你必须带着极大的怀疑态度看待它)”可知，作者建议我们对这类在线测试应质疑其可靠性。注：take it with an enormous grain of salt 意为“非常怀疑地看待某事”。故选D项。 Passage 3 Imagine this: You’re tapping on your phone. Instantly, you’re taken to vlogs on Xiaohongshu, where peers are speaking fluent English with foreigners, debating in cafes or attending exchange programs in Sydney. Seeing these glamorous lives, you may ask: Why does everyone else’s life look perfect — except mine? Social media gives us a glimpse into lives we might never see otherwise. However, it also makes the differences between people’s lives more apparent. While international school students can wear makeup without being judged for it, others wake up before sunrise, study through lunch, and stay at school until 10:30 p. m. After seeing such contrasts, curiosity about the world slowly turns into anxiety — or even frustration. But what you see online isn’t the full picture. Most students in the country live similar lives to yours, but they simply don’t share them online. Even if they do, their posts are rarely noticed or recommended by algorithms. Worse still, the more of these vlogs a person watches, the more similar contents the platform feeds them. Without realizing it, young people may get trapped in an information cocoon created by the platform. In today’s world of endless social media, knowing how to question the content we see is an important skill. How can we stay logical and see the real world clearly? That’s what matters. We need to remember that social media is naturally selective. People usually share moments of success, beauty or excitement, not their daily struggles, failures or ordinary routines. Lighting, camera angles and filters(滤镜) can change how things appear. It’s also important to ask questions. Why was this posted? Who benefits from me seeing this? That video of students debating in a cafe may well be sponsored by the cafe. Ads, sponsorships and algorithms often decide what we see. Platforms also have a responsibility. They should set rules that require influencers to clearly label sponsored or edited contents. It’s also important to monitor platforms in ways that protect mental health. When we use apps wisely, we can go from being passive viewers to active users and creators. I recommend that these platforms should provide us with new approaches to learning and growing, not leave us feeling stressed. 9. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To show the appealing online lives. B. To explain how to live a great digital life. C. To prove that social media can cause some problems. D. To introduce the topic of social media anxiety. 10. What does the underlined phrase “information cocoon” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A state for users to get limited information. B. A rule for users to customize contents. C. A space for users to learn diverse knowledge. D. A tool for platforms to filter out useless contents. 11. Why does the author mention the video in paragraph 6? A. To promote debate videos. B. To sponsor the behavior of platforms. C. To show the benefit of ads and algorithms. D. To prove the importance of raising questions. 12. What does the author suggest platforms do? A. Offer users new ways to grow. B. Set rules to edit contents. C. Protect users’ visual health. D. Leave users feeling worried. 【答案】9. D 10. A 11. D 12. A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体如何影响年轻人的心态，特别是引发焦虑和不满情绪，并提出了应对策略，包括质疑网络内容、平台责任以及用户应如何智慧使用社交媒体。 9. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Imagine this; You’re tapping on your phone. Instantly, you’re taken to vlogs on Xiaohongshu, where peers are speaking fluent English with foreigners, debating in cafes or attending exchange programs in Sydney. Seeing these glamorous lives, you may ask: Why does everyone else’s life look perfect — except mine?(想象一下：你正刷着手机，转眼就被小红书上的vlog吸引——同龄人正用流利的英语与外国人交谈，在咖啡馆里辩论，或是在悉尼参加交换项目。看着这些精彩的生活片段，你可能会问：为什么除了我，每个人的生活都如此完美？)”以及第二段“After seeing such contrasts, curiosity about the world slowly turns into anxiety— or even frustration.(看到这样的反差后，对世界的好奇心慢慢变成了焦虑，甚至沮丧)”可知，第一段通过描述社交媒体上他人看似完美的生活，引出了读者可能产生的焦虑情绪，从而为后文讨论社交媒体带来的焦虑问题奠定了基础。故选D项。 10. 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Worse still, the more of these vlogs a person watches, the more similar contents the platform feeds them. Without realizing it, young people may get trapped in an information cocoon created by the platform.(更糟糕的是，一个人看的这些视频博客越多，平台就会给他们推送越多相似的内容。在不知不觉中，年轻人可能会陷入平台创造的information cocoon中)”可知，年轻人看的视频越多，平台推送的内容越相似，最终他们会陷入一个信息受限的状态，由此可推知，“information cocoon”意为“用户获取有限信息的状态”。故选A项。 11. 推理判断题。根据第六段“It’s also important to ask questions. Why was this posted? Who benefits from me seeing this? That video of students debating in a cafe may well be sponsored by the cafe. Ads, sponsorships and algorithms often decide what we see.(提出问题也很重要。为什么要发布这个?谁从我看到这个中受益?那段学生在咖啡馆辩论的视频很可能是由咖啡馆赞助的。广告、赞助和算法往往决定着我们看到什么)”可知，作者提到咖啡馆辩论的视频，是为了举例说明，我们应该对看到的内容提出质疑(如其发布动机、背后利益)，从而论证了“提出问题”的重要性。故选D项。 12. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When we use apps wisely, we can go from being passive viewers to active users and creators. I recommend that these platforms should provide us with new approaches to learning and growing, not leave us feeling stressed.(当我们明智地使用应用程序时，我们可以从被动的观众变成积极的用户和创造者。我建议这些平台应该为我们提供新的学习和成长方式，而不是让我们感到压力)”可知，作者建议平台应该为用户提供新的学习和成长方式。故选A项。 Passage 4 (2025-2026学年度山东省泰安肥城市高一上学期期中英语试题)Today, friendships can develop between people from different countries or even different time zones. Internets help people stay connected, no matter where they are. However, this convenience also has downsides. Real friendships usually grow from spending time together in person, having deep talks, or sharing important experiences. But online friendships often depend on short messages, funny pictures (like memes), or quick comments, which don’t create the same strong connection. When we chat online, we miss important cues (提示) such as tone of voice, facial expression and body language. Because of lack of these cues, online communication leaves a lot of room for misunderstandings. What’s meant as a harmless joke could easily be taken the wrong way. Online friendships will never really replace (替代) the feeling of face-to-face communication because online, people are sharing information not true feelings.   Meeting friends in person actually makes our brains send out dopamine (多巴胺), a chemical that makes us feel happy. Studies show that people who communicate online with friends get 50% less dopamine than those who meet face to face. That’s why online communication can leave us feeling more tired than satisfied. But we don’t have to give up online friendships entirely. Online friendships offer chances to connect, learn, and find support. We can make them more meaningful. One side is using VR avatars that mimic (模仿) real-life gestures and expressions. Another is “Screen-free Saturdays”, where people take a break from the Internet to focus on real-world connections. Some friendships, like those among online gamers, even combine both online and offline communications — they play games together virtually and also meet in person when possible. 13. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. Online friendships can be more natural. B. Traditional friendships are more meaningful. C. Online friendships can’t make deeper connections. D. Traditional friendships can connect people quickly. 14. What does the underlined word “lack” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Absence. B. Error. C. Difference. D. Change. 15. Why is dopamine mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To show its role in improving health. B. To explain its influence on making friends. C. To show why online communication feels tiring. D. To explain why face-to-face communication is easy. 16. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advice on making offline friends. B. Ways to improve online friendships. C. Advantages of playing online games. D. Reasons for quitting traditional friendships. 【答案】13. C 14. A 15. C 16. B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了线上友谊的局限性(如缺乏深度连接、易产生误解、多巴胺分泌不足等)，同时提出改善线上友谊的建议，并指出线上线下结合的友谊模式可能更理想。 13. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Real friendships usually grow from spending time together in person, having deep talks, or sharing important experiences. But online friendships often depend on short messages, funny pictures (like memes), or quick comments, which don’t create the same strong connection. (真正的友谊通常源于面对面相处、深入交谈或分享重要经历。但线上友谊往往依赖于短消息、搞笑图片(如表情包)或简短评论，无法建立同样牢固的联结。)”可知，线上友谊无法建立深厚的联结。故选C。 14. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When we chat online, we miss important cues such as tone of voice, facial expression and body language. Because of lack of these cues, online communication leaves a lot of room for misunderstandings. (当我们在线聊天时，会错过重要的提示，如语气、面部表情和肢体语言。由于_____这些提示，线上交流留下了很多误解的空间。)”可知，“lack”指的是：由于线上聊天时“缺少”语气、表情等重要提示，交流容易被误解，划线词与“absence(缺失)”含义相近。故选A。 15. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Meeting friends in person actually makes our brains send out dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel happy. Studies show that people who communicate online with friends get 50% less dopamine than those who meet face to face. That’s why online communication can leave us feeling more tired than satisfied. (面对面与朋友相处实际上会让我们的大脑分泌多巴胺，这种化学物质能让我们感到快乐。研究表明，与朋友线上交流的人比面对面交流的人分泌的多巴胺少50%。这就是为什么线上交流会让我们感到疲惫而非满足。)”可推知，提及多巴胺是为了解释为什么线上交流会让人感到疲惫。故选C。 16. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“We can make them more meaningful. One side is using VR avatars that mimic real-life gestures and expressions. Another is ‘Screen-free Saturdays’, where people take a break from the Internet to focus on real-world connections. Some friendships, like those among online gamers, even combine both online and offline communications — they play games together virtually and also meet in person when possible.(我们可以让它们更有意义。一方面是使用模仿现实生活中手势和表情的虚拟现实化身。另一个是‘无屏幕星期六’，在这一天，人们放下网络，专注于现实生活中的人际联结。有些友谊，比如在线游戏玩家之间的友谊，甚至结合了在线和离线交流——他们既会一起线上打游戏，也会在可能的情况下相约见面。)”可知，本段主旨是介绍提升线上友谊质量的方法。故选B。 Passage 5 A new draft rule has been released in China to make the online world safer. The rule requires that serious damage to important computer systems or the theft of key data must be reported to internet authorities quickly. The main goal of this policy is to reduce potential harm and better protect the nation’s critical digital infrastructure. The rule clearly defines what is considered an “extremely serious” cybersecurity event. This includes a complete stoppage of key information systems for six hours or more. It is also seen as extremely serious if a cyberattack leads to the leakage of a huge amount of personal information or affects the daily lives of a large part of a province’s population. Furthermore, if major government or news websites are inaccessible for over 24 hours due to attacks, they fall into this most serious category. For these extremely serious cases, the related companies must report to the authorities within one hour. The report should be more than just a simple notice. It must contain a detailed description of the event, including its duration and impact. The rule also demands a first study of the incident, providing information on possible attackers, the methods they used, and any system weaknesses they took advantage of. This helps authorities understand and respond to the threat more effectively. Companies that fail to report or provide false information will face punishment. The new rule also encourages any individual or social organization to report cybersecurity problems they discover. This policy is part of China’s broader efforts to strengthen online safety. In recent years, the country has already passed specific laws and its police have worked harder to fight against cybercrime, showing a strong commitment to building a safer digital environment for everyone. 17. What does the passage aim to do? A. To describe a new cybersecurity rule. B. To warn people about the dangers of hackers. C. To explain how to steal crucial data. D. To introduce the history of the internet. 18. What can be inferred from the new rule about reporting incidents? A. Companies are expected to handle all cyberattacks alone. B. The government values detailed and timely information. C. Most companies are already very good at reporting. D. Reporting is only necessary for government websites. 19. What is required in the incident report for an extremely serious case according to the passage? A. The exact names of the attackers. B. The company’s future business plans. C. A study of the attack methods and weaknesses. D. The amount of money lost in the incident. 20. Why does the government encourage the public to report cybersecurity issues? A. To create a shared sense of responsibility. B. To prove that the public is more knowledgeable. C. To reduce the workload of the police. D. To make it easier to catch specific companies. 【答案】17. A 18.

The report should be more than just a simple notice. It must contain a detailed description of the event, including its duration and impact.(对于这些特别严重的情况，相关企业必须在一小时内向主管部门报告。这份报告不应只是一份简单的通知，必须包含对事件的详细描述，包括事件持续时间和造成的影响) ”可知，政府重视报告的时效性和详尽程度。故选B项。 19. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The rule also demands a first study of the incident, providing information on possible attackers, the methods they used, and any system weaknesses they took advantage of.(该规章还要求对事件进行初步分析，提供可能的攻击者、他们使用的攻击手段以及被利用的系统漏洞等相关信息)”可知，特别严重事件的报告需要包含对攻击手段和系统漏洞的分析。故选C项。 20. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The new rule also encourages any individual or social organization to report cybersecurity problems they discover. This policy is part of China’s broader efforts to strengthen online safety.(这项新规还鼓励任何个人和社会组织报告发现网络安全问题。该政策是中国加强网络安全这一更大举措的一部分) ”可知，政府鼓励公众举报是为了凝聚全社会的力量，建立共同的责任意识，从而更好地维护网络安全。故选A项。 Passage 6 (2025-2026学年度重庆市高一上学期10月月考英语试题)The Internet has changed the way we live and learn. For students, it can be a valuable tool for research and communication. However, it also has some drawbacks. One advantage of the Internet is the easy access to information. Students can find answers to their questions quickly by searching online. They can also read news and articles from around the world, which helps broaden their horizons. Another advantage is the ability to communicate. Students can use email or social media to discuss schoolwork with classmates or ask teachers questions outside of class time. On the other hand, the Internet can be distracting. With so many games, videos, and social media platforms, it is easy to waste time online instead of studying. Also, not all information on the Internet is accurate. Students need to learn how to evaluate the sources they find. In conclusion, the Internet is a powerful tool, but students should use it wisely to support their learning. 21. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The history of the Internet. B. The advantages and disadvantages of the Internet for students. C. How to use social media for learning. D. The dangers of online games. 22. According to the passage, how can the Internet help broaden students' horizons? A. By providing online games. B. By allowing them to read global news. C. By offering fast communication tools. D. By helping them make friends online. 23. What is mentioned as a disadvantage of the Internet? A. It is too expensive for students. B. It can be a distraction from study. C. It makes communication difficult. D. It reduces the need for teachers. 24. What should students do when they find information online? A. Believe everything they read. B.

With so many games, videos, and social media platforms, it is easy to waste time online instead of studying.(另一方面，互联网可能会让人分心。有这么多游戏、视频和社交媒体平台，很容易在网上浪费时间而不是学习)”可知，互联网会让人分心，这是它的一个弊端。故选B。 24. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Students need to learn how to evaluate the sources they find.(学生需要学会如何评估他们找到的信息来源)”可知，学生在网上寻找信息时需要学会评估它们的来源。故选C。 Passage 7 The video clip starts with a warning. “If you believe ignorance is bliss(福),” it says, “don’t watch this video.” As an influencer slices fruit on a cutting board, a series of claims descend down the screen — about what she says is actually in peanut butter and vanilla flavoring, among other things. It’s the kind of post that has become common in the online wellness world, where high-profile voices often express doubts about the establishment. But what makes this influencer unusual is her age. She’s only 17, and a high school junior. Ava Noe, a teenager based in the Boston area, has amassed more than 25,000 followers. She is just one of a number of young influencers who appeal to other health-conscious kids their age. The teens’ videos, while at times factually questionable, highlight a desire among some to avoid the chronic(慢性) illnesses and other conditions that have long affected their elders. But the health craze has unnerved medical experts and educators. Teens are sourcing health information from wellness influencers, leading to misinformed or oversimplified views; some even want to become wellness influencers themselves. Ms. Noe started her own account in 2023, after she was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and began searching for “alternative ways” to heal, she said. “I was just desperate for something.” She descended into a social media rabbit hole and became fascinated by the idea of eating and living “clean.” Today, she likes to use chatbots to ask about the benefits of, say, red light therapy(治疗) , and then read the suggested studies. Danielle Shine, an accredited dietitian in Australia, urges people to consult qualified professionals for nutritional information, not online posts that lean on “fear” and “sensationalism,” warning that certain content can lead to medical complications and consequences. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, though, can get in the way of typical teenage pursuits. There are times, Ms. Noe acknowledged, when she ends a night with friends early. “I just want to go home, do my red light therapy and go to bed,” she said. 25. What purpose does the opening warning mainly serve? A. To question the video’s credibility. B. To establish guidelines for viewers. C. To create anticipation for the content. D. To remove the influencer’s responsibility. 26. Which title would Ava Noe most likely use for her video? A. Medical Literature Overview B. Expert Roundtable on Living Clean C. Why Conventional Wisdom Matters D. What They Don’t Want You to Know 27. What does Danielle Shine suggest people do? A. Post reliable information. B. Get over personal fear. C. Seek expert consultation. D. Prepare for potential risks. 28. What does Ava Noe’s lifestyle suggest about her? A. Trend-following. B. Self-disciplined. C. Fun-loving D. Eco-aware. 【答案】25. C 26. D 27. C 28. B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了以17岁的Ava Noe为代表的年轻健康影响者在社交媒体上崛起，分享健康内容吸引大量粉丝，但也引发了健康焦虑和科学误导等问题。 25. 推理判断题。根据第一段“The video clip starts with a warning. “If you believe ignorance is bliss (福),” it says, “don’t watch this video.” As an influencer slices fruit on a cutting board, a series of claims descend down the screen — about what she says is actually in peanut butter and vanilla flavoring, among other things.(这段视频开头有一段警示语：“如果你认为无知就是幸福，”视频中说道，“那就别看这个视频了。”接着，一位网红在切菜板上切水果，屏幕上随即出现了一系列声明——内容涉及她所声称的花生酱和香草调味料的实际成分等等)”可推知，这段开场提示的主要作用是为内容营造期待感。故选C。 26. 推理判断题。根据第一段“As an influencer slices fruit on a cutting board, a series of claims descend down the screen — about what she says is actually in peanut butter and vanilla flavoring, among other things.(接着，一位网红在切菜板上切水果，屏幕上随即出现了一系列声明——内容涉及她所声称的花生酱和香草调味料的实际成分等等)”可知，Noe的视频“质疑主流观点”“谈论食品中‘实际含有的成分’”，且开头警告暗示“内容不为人知”，核心风格是“揭露隐藏信息”。由此推知，艾娃·诺伊最有可能为她的视频选择《他们不想让你知道的事》标题。故选D。 27. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Danielle Shine, an accredited dietitian in Australia, urges people to consult qualified professionals for nutritional information, not online posts that lean on “fear” and “sensationalism,” warning that certain content can lead to medical complications and consequences.(澳大利亚的注册营养师丹妮尔·希恩呼吁人们在获取营养信息时应咨询有资质的专业人士，而非依赖那些充满“恐惧”和“耸人听闻”色彩的网络帖子。她警告称，某些此类内容可能会导致医疗并发症和不良后果)”可知，丹妮尔·希恩建议人们寻求专业咨询。故选C。 28. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, though, can get in the way of typical teenage pursuits. There are times, Ms. Noe acknowledged, when she ends a night with friends early. “I just want to go home, do my red light therapy and go to bed,” she said.(然而，保持健康的生活方式却可能会妨碍青少年们通常的活动和追求。诺伊女士承认，有时她也会在与朋友相聚的夜晚提前结束聚会。“我只想回家，做一下红光疗法，然后上床睡觉。”她说)”可推知，艾娃·诺伊的生活方式表明了她自我约束力强。故选B。 Passage 8 Mark never stops socialising with his friends online. But he’s also never felt more alone. Where am I? What am I doing? If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance, so I’m constantly posting updates on social media—whether I’m having a coffee, on my way to school, watching TV... even when I’m in the shower. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I check through all my social networking apps, read my emails and answer text messages. I do the same thing all over again while I’m having breakfast. I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. I have a never-ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online. Yet the truth of the matter is: I feel lonely. I’m barely the only person who feels this way. According to research, over two-thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person, but I’m wired up every day, like most of my friends. On the surface, I have an active social life. I attend parties and play sports but I’m always distracted. They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality, my mind is always a million miles away. I obsess over exactly how many followers I have on my account, but I can’t remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mates. Social networking dominates my life in so many ways. Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7.50 pm, I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa. I download song after song, video after video, but I’m not really paying attention. The stimulation is in chasing after the next song rather than truly enjoying it. My friends try to drag me away from my phone, but as soon as I’m alone again, I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides. I constantly feel depressed, dissatisfied and alone. Since I spend so much time socialising online, I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework, tasks, connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way. It’s funny that my friends and I chatter away online so much, but we end up having nothing to say when we meet. A few days ago, I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends. My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call. Some spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them. And the extraordinary thing is nobody thought this was rude; it’s just how life is nowadays. On a family holiday last summer, my sister spent all her time complaining that she needed to charge her phone. When it was charged, she just spent hours reading about her favourite popstar; not once did she lift her head to enjoy the view outside her window. What is really worrying is that no one I know, including myself, could go cold turkey. I can’t even imagine going without social networking for a week—think of all the important appointments, invitations and news updates you would miss! Alcoholics who want to quit drinking can avoid booze, but how do we give up our phones? After all, I need it for my studies because my teachers and classmates need to contact me at any time. So, that’s the problem with social networking. We’re hard-wired in, but we’re more disconnected than ever.Ⅰ. Read the text carefully and choose the best answer. 29.

I do the same thing all over again while I’m having breakfast(早上一睁开眼睛，我就查看所有的社交网络应用，阅读电子邮件，回复短信。吃早餐的时候，我又重复了一遍同样的事情)”可知，作者在洗澡、喝咖啡、上学路上、看电视时都会查看社交网络应用，只有在睡得很香的时候才不会查看。故选D项。 30. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know(如果你是我在网上500个朋友中的一个，你总是第一个知道我的动态)”可知，作者在网上有很多朋友。故选A项。 31. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Social networking dominates my life in so many ways. Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7.50 pm, I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos(社交网络在很多方面支配着我的生活。有时我会给自己设定截止日期：我将在晚上8点开始做作业，目标是两小时内完成。晚上7点50分，我还在浏览朋友们发的愚蠢的帖子和照片)”以及“My friends try to drag me away from my phone, but as soon as I’m alone again, I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides(我的朋友们试图把我从手机旁拉走，但一旦我又独自一人，我就迫不及待地想回到网络世界和它提供的激烈活动中去)”可知，作者把大部分业余时间都花在了上网上面。故选C项。 32. 推理判断题。根据文章第七段“A few days ago, I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends. My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call. Some spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them. And the extraordinary thing is nobody thought this was rude; it’s just how life is nowadays.(几天前，我和一些朋友出去聚餐。我最好的朋友离开桌子30分钟去接电话。有些人在吃饭时低头看手机，在网上给朋友发短信，却忽略了坐在他们正前方的人。令人惊奇的是，没有人认为这是粗鲁的；这就是现在的生活方式)”可知，作者发现有些人在吃饭时低头看手机，在网上给朋友发短信，却忽略了坐在他们正前方的人，却没有人认为这是粗鲁的，可推理出作者认为在聚餐的时候，进行面对面的交谈是礼貌的，故选C项。 Passage 9 According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists(语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’s languages will have died. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back with great effort. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world. For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back(反弹) and survive. 33. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show? A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language development. C. Human activity has an influence on languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 34. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do? A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 35. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project? A. It is portable but very expensive. B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 36. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph? A. stay alive. B. die out. C. come back. D. pass down. 【答案】33. A 34. D 35. C 36. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍世界多种语言濒临消亡，数字化成为保护在数字领域代表性不足的语言的重要手段，并列举相关保护项目。 33. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’ s languages will have died. (根据联合国教科文组织公布的数据，世界上现存语言中至少有43%濒临灭绝。此外，现在世界上许多语言的使用者不足1000人。语言学家和研究者认为，到本世纪末，世界上至少一半的语言将会消失。)”可知，43%的语言面临灭绝，一些语言的使用者人数甚至不超过1000人，这些数字是说明很多语言濒临灭绝。故选A项。 34. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. (例如，牛津大学出版社几年前推出了牛津全球语言项目，倡导那些“在数字领域代表性不足”的语言。他们专注于推广那些在全球拥有近百万使用者、但在网络上几乎没有存在感的语言。因此，他们一直在创建数字词典作为基础工具来帮助保护这些语言。)”可知，牛津全球语言项目致力于以数字化形式呈现某些濒危语言。故选D项。 35. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. (另一个是罗塞塔项目，旨在创建一个可手持的数字图书馆，收录1500多种语言。它大小适中，便于手持，包含约13000页信息。这类项目的主要目标是确保在使用者离世后，当地语言仍能得到保存。)”可知，该项目的目标是确保当地的语言在使用者在去世之后很长一段时间后可以得到保护，即它保护了语言的多样性。故选C项。 36. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss.(当然，我们不能仅仅依靠数字化来应对全球语言的流失) ”可知，此处指的是语言使用者逝世之后，语言就会消失，由此故推测perish是“消失”的意思。故选B项。 Passage 10 Online short-form video has shifted from a casual entertainment to a constant background in many children’s lives. What used to fill a spare moment now shapes how young people relax, communicate, and form opinions, with short-form video platforms drawing in hundreds of millions of under-18s through endlessly personalized feeds. Offering quick routes to humour, trends and connection, these platforms encourage long sessions of rapid scrolling(滑动) that can be difficult for young users to manage. They were never built with children in mind, although many children use them daily and often alone. Problematic use is less about minutes spent and more about patterns where scrolling becomes hard to stop. Short-form videos (typically between 15 and 90 seconds) are engineered to capture the brain’s desire for novelty. Each scrolling promises something different. Because the feed rarely pauses, the natural breaks that help attention reset disappear. Over time, this can affect children’s mood, attention, schoolwork and relationships. Sleep is one of the clearest areas where short-form video can take a toll. Many children view screens when they should be sleeping. The bright light delays the release of melatonin(褪黑激素), which helps regulate sleep, making it harder for them to fall asleep. And the emotional highs and lows of rapid content make it particularly difficult for the brain to settle. These sleep disturbances affect mood, emotional stability and memory. Exposure to material children never intended to see adds risk. Because short videos appear instantly and autoplay, children can be shown violent footage(画面) or harmful challenges before they have time to look away. Unlike longer videos, short-form content provides almost no warning or emotional preparation. A single scrolling can produce a sudden shift from silly to disturbing. New guidelines encourage schools to integrate online safety into courses. At home, open conversation and simple routines like keeping devices out of bedrooms can help. Short-form videos can be creative and comforting. With thoughtful support, children can enjoy them without harming wellbeing. 37. How do short-form video platforms attract so many kids? A. Through continuous amusement-focused content. B. Through constantly tailored information streams. C. By interacting with kids through their videos. D. By building special backgrounds in kids’ mind. 38. What’s the root cause of children’s improper use of short videos? A. The duration of short videos. B. The brain’s appetite for novelty. C. The hard-to-stop scrolling patterns. D. The pauses between short videos. 39. What does the underlined phrase “take a toll” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Have a long-term effect. B. Cause noticeable harm. C. Provide a form of relief. D. Lead to financial cost. 40. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Kids can have big mood changes between two scrolls. B. Online safety should be a required course in the school. C. Kids prefer long-form entertainment videos to short ones. D. Melatonin causes sleeplessness problems to a great degree. 【答案】37. B 38. B 39. B 40. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了短视频平台通过个性化推送吸引大量儿童，不当使用影响儿童身心健康及应对措施。 37. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“What used to fill a spare moment now shapes how young people relax, communicate, and form opinions, with short-form video platforms drawing in hundreds of millions of under-18s through endlessly personalized feeds.(过去那些闲暇时间里用来消遣的事情，如今已成为年轻人放松、交流和形成观点的方式，而短视频平台凭借其个性化十足的内容推送，吸引了数亿年龄在18岁以下的用户)”可知，短视频平台通过持续定制化的信息流吸引孩子。故选B。 38. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Problematic use is less about minutes spent and more about patterns where scrolling becomes hard to stop. Short-form videos (typically between 15 and 90 seconds) are engineered to capture the brain’s desire for novelty.(不当使用与其说是时长问题，不如说是滑到停不下来的使用模式。短视频(通常15到90秒)被设计成迎合大脑对新鲜感的追求)”可知，儿童不当使用短视频的根本原因是大脑对新奇事物的渴望。故选B。 39. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Sleep is one of the clearest areas where short-form video can take a toll. Many children view screens when they should be sleeping. The bright light delays the release of melatonin (褪黑激素), which helps regulate sleep, making it harder for them to fall asleep. And the emotional highs and lows of rapid content make it particularly difficult for the brain to settle. These sleep disturbances affect mood, emotional stability and memory.(睡眠是短视频take a toll最突出的领域之一。很多孩子在本该睡觉的时间看屏幕。明亮的光线会延迟帮助调节睡眠的褪黑素分泌，让他们更难入睡。而快速切换内容带来的情绪起伏，会让大脑尤其难以平静。这些睡眠问题会影响情绪、情绪稳定性和记忆力)”可知，本段主要讲的是睡眠是短视频对儿童产生不良影响最明显的领域之一，即睡眠是短视频可以造成明显伤害的最明显的领域之一，故take a toll意思是“造成明显伤害”。故选B。 40. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Because short videos appear instantly and autoplay, children can be shown violent footage(画面) or harmful challenges before they have time to look away. Unlike longer videos, short-form content provides almost no warning or emotional preparation. A single scrolling can produce a sudden shift from silly to disturbing.(因为短视频会立刻出现并自动播放，孩子可能还没来得及移开目光，就看到暴力画面或有害挑战。与长视频不同，短视频几乎不提供任何预警或心理准备。轻轻一划，内容就可能从搞笑突然变成令人不安)”可推知，孩子们在两次划动之间可能会有很大的情绪变化。故选A。 Passage 11 When Karyna Kovalevska, an 18-year-old Ukrainian, first came to China in 2019 for a Confucius Institute summer exchange in Anhui, she never thought China would become her second home. She struggled yet felt excited about learning Chinese, and was deeply touched by the kindness of Chinese people, falling in love with the country and promising to come back. Three years later, she kept her promise, settling in Yuncheng, Shanxi with her Chinese husband. She started posting short videos on Xiaohongshu, Weibo and Douyin to record her daily life. For Karyna, creation is about earnestness rather than gaining attention. Her unscripted videos capture real moments, aiming to show the true open, safe and kind China to the world and break overseas stereotypes. Her food-related videos, especially those about creative vinegar snacks in Yuncheng, are the most popular. She has gained thousands of followers at home and abroad, with 95 percent of positive comments warming her heart. Having lived in China for over three years, Karyna has a strong sense of belonging, regarding China as the happiest place she has ever lived, constantly moved by the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 41. What made Karyna fall in love with China during her 2019 visit? A. The easy process of learning Chinese. B. The warm treatment from Chinese people. C. The similar culture between China and Ukraine. D. The various short video platforms in China. 42. What does the underlined word “earnestness” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Being creative. B. Being popular. C. Being honest. D. Being attentive. 43. What can we infer about Karyna’s short videos from the passage? A. They are mainly about Chinese traditional festivals. B. They are carefully planned with professional scripts. C. They aim to attract as many followers as possible. D. They show the real daily life of a foreigner in China. 44. How does Karyna feel about her life in China? A. Satisfied and attached. B. Curious and confused. C. Surprised and stressed. D. Regretful and disappointed. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍乌克兰女孩Karyna来华交流后爱上中国，定居山西运城并通过短视频向世界展示真实中国的经历。 41. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She struggled yet felt excited about learning Chinese, and was deeply touched by the kindness of Chinese people, falling in love with the country and promising to come back. (她学习中文虽感吃力却很兴奋，并且被中国人的善良深深打动，爱上了这个国家并承诺会回来。)”可知，是中国人的热情对待让Karyna在2019年访问期间爱上了中国。故选B项。 42. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“For Karyna, creation is about earnestness rather than gaining attention. Her unscripted videos capture real moments, aiming to show the true open, safe and kind China to the world and break overseas stereotypes. (对卡瑞娜而言，创作在于______，而非博取关注。她无脚本的视频捕捉真实瞬间，旨在向世界展现真实、开放、安全、友善的中国，打破海外的刻板印象。)”可知，后文提到她的视频没有剧本、记录真实瞬间，说明她的创作态度是真诚、诚实的，因此earnestness的意思是“诚实”。故选C项。 43. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She started posting short videos on Xiaohongshu, Weibo and Douyin to record her daily life. (她开始在小红书、微博和抖音上发布短视频记录日常生活。)”以及“Her unscripted videos capture real moments, aiming to show the true open, safe and kind China to the world and break overseas stereotypes.

Very often, we are persuaded(劝说) to buy a product or service because of what we see on the television, hear on the radio, or read on social media. Advertising has encouraged the shift from needs-based to wants-based production. Advertising techniques that get consumers to buy more to get greater discount(折扣), often attract consumers to buy what they do not need to enjoy more benefits. For one, tech companies are constantly producing new products and their advertisements highlight the positive features of the latest models, persuading consumers to throw away their old devices and buy new ones. Similarly, advertising keeps on promoting new trends and styles, encouraging people to discard their out-of-fashion items for trendier ones. Advertising also encourages an addictive behaviour that results in repetitive buying. To persuade buyers to repeat their purchase (购买), companies often use some attractive methods such as limited-time discounts. Buyers who do not want to miss out on a good deal, would buy again even if they have no need for the product. Some may argue that advertising can play an important role in persuading people towards lasting living, and leading a less wasteful lifestyle, such as in the case of advertising second-hand clothes. Advertising has also successfully changed buyers’ opinions of second- hand clothes as “cheap” and “dirty”, promoting them as eco-friendly and stylish. However, the promise of companies towards sustainability(可持续发展) remains low. Advertising is still the main tool for companies to promote their brands, and ultimately make more money. Still, many believe that effective advertising is the key driving force that enables mass-produced products to be sold quickly, with even social media sales relying heavily on persuasive techniques to attract the users of social media. However, some people believe that FOMO (fear of missing out) is an even more powerful force to persuade buyers to spend on things they do not need. It is FOMO that persuades people to join a long line to buy something they probably have no need for, based on social media posts of purchases that friends have made. Nowadays, people are spending more on things they do not need. However, advertising does not necessarily result in us being more wasteful. It is a matter of personal choice. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Although advertisements may appear in front of us anytime and anywhere, we should need to correctly tell the differences between what we need and what we want. Just keep a clear mind. 45. How has advertising encouraged the shift from needs-based to wants-based production? A. By increasing the amount of advertising. B. By highlighting the price of the latest products. C. By providing more attractions to the consumers. D. By telling companies to throw away out-of-fashion products. 46. The underlined word “addictive” in Paragraph 3 probably means “making people _________ something” A. interested in trying B. unable to stop doing C. worried about missing D. happy to throw away 47. The writer probably agrees that _________. A. the misleading of advertising is the main reason for more waste B. advertising fails to change buyers’ opinions about second-hand items C. social media has more powerful force to persuade buyers than FOMO D. FOMO can lead people to buy something that they might have no need for 48. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce some useful advertising techniques. B. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of advertising. C. To explain why advertising brings buyers a wasteful lifestyle. D. To advise people to make right choices when facing advertisements. 【答案】45. C 46. B 47. D 48. D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍广告利用多种手段刺激消费，促使人们购买非必需品，作者建议理性看待广告，分清需要与想要。 45. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Advertising techniques that get consumers to buy more to get greater discount (折扣), often attract consumers to buy what they do not need to enjoy more benefits. (广告通过让消费者多买以获得更大折扣等手段，吸引他们购买非必需品来获取更多好处。)”可知，广告通过提供更多吸引力促使消费从基于需求转向基于欲望。故选C项。 46. 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Advertising also encourages an addictive behaviour that results in repetitive buying. To persuade buyers to repeat their purchase (购买) , companies often use some attractive methods such as limited-time discounts. (广告还会催生一种成瘾行为，导致重复购买。为了说服买家重复购买，公司经常使用限时折扣等吸引人的方法。)”可知，这种行为会让人不断重复购买，无法停止，因此“addictive”与“让人们无法停止做某事”意义相近。故选B项。 47. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, some people believe that FOMO (fear of missing out) is an even more powerful force to persuade buyers to spend on things they do not need. It is FOMO that persuades people to join a long line to buy something they probably have no need for, based on social media posts of purchases that friends have made. (然而，有些人认为“错失恐惧症”(FOMO)是一种更强大的力量，它会说服买家为自己并不需要的东西花钱。正是因为错失恐惧症，人们在看到朋友们在社交媒体上发布的购物动态后，会去排长队购买自己可能根本不需要的东西。)”可知，FOMO会让人们购买自己可能不需要的东西。故选D项。 48. 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“Although advertisements may appear in front of us anytime and anywhere, we should need to correctly tell the differences between what we need and what we want. Just keep a clear mind.(尽管广告随时随地出现，我们应正确区分需要与想要，保持清醒头脑。)”可知，作者写作目的是建议人们面对广告时做出正确选择。故选D项。 Passage 13 Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities - famous people - worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.” The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C. , painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place. Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already. 49. It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________. A. are often misunderstood by the public B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance D. care little about how they have come into fame 50. What does the underlined words mean? A. to lose their way back B. to forget their own names C. to forget their true selves D. to lose their memories 51. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids. B. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers. C. Great heroes of the past were generally admired. D. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history. 52. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity? A. Sympathetic. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 【答案】49. B 50. C 51. D 52. A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讲述了现代名人所面临的种种困扰。他们缺乏隐私，承受着巨大的压力，甚至迷失了自我。尽管这个问题由来已久，但如今由于现代媒体的影响，情况变得更加糟糕。有些明星仍然试图过着正常的生活，但大多数人都对名声感到厌倦了。 49. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.( 狗仔队在他们家门口守候，准备随时拍照。小报则会刊登有关他们个人生活的惊悚故事。想象一下，自己做任何事都可能被拍摄下来或者遭到粉丝要求签名的打扰。)”可知，从这篇文章中可以得知，如今的明星们无法再保护自己的隐私。故选B项。 50. 词句猜测题。根据划线句子中“Eventually, they start to …, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.( 最终，他们开始……，而是按照粉丝想象中的样子看待自己，而不是像大家知道他们名字之前那样。)”可知，下文提到按粉丝想象的样子看自己，由此可知，划线句子的意思为“忘却真实的自我”。故选C项。 51. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.( 追踪名人这一现象由来已久。在公元前 4 世纪，画家们跟随亚历山大大帝出征，希望能为他的崇拜者描绘他的胜利场景。在 19 世纪，查尔斯·狄更斯访问美国时，他那场场爆满的演讲吸引了成千上万的粉丝，这让他抱怨自己缺乏隐私。20 世纪 20 年代和 30 年代的通俗报纸对电影明星的报道方式与现代的通俗报纸和网站如出一辙。)”可知，第三段的主旨是明星所面临的问题由来已久。故选D项。 52. 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.( 尽管成名听起来就像是梦想成真，但如今的明星们却如同动物园里的动物一般，面临着我们大多数人难以想象的压力。他们成为了全世界关注的焦点。)”和最后一段“Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.( 有时，一些名人也能获得一点公正。然而，即使是那些享受完全公正待遇的明星，也常常抱怨他们的生活有多么艰难。他们已经厌倦了成名的感觉了。)”可推知，作者对现代名人持同情的态度。故选A项。 Passage 14 Classics are the gems(宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people instead enjoy these classics in online video series. According to a 2023 report by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in fleeting moments. “I watch them on the subway, in a queue or before bed. Short videos combine text, images and expressions, providing a better experience than just reading text alone,” a man surnamed Zhang told Xinhua. The fearsome length and complexity(复杂性) of classics are also reasons why some people, especially teenagers, are turning to literature vloggers (video bloggers) for help. A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. It explores themes like family, society and human nature. However, these very qualities make the novel challenging for some students, who find it boring or even sleep-inducing(困倦的) . “There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot,” said 12-year-old ShaoXinyan from Hubei. “Some vloggers use a mind map to clearly show their relationship.” While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and concerns. For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey in which people form a personal connection with the text, not just absorbing facts. “Books that inspire my imagination, like fantasy adventures and historical stories, demand a deeper connection. Videos, although convenient, can’t fully present the small details of a well-written story,” said Zhang. Eighteen-year-old Wang Hongjie from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 53. Why do more people turn to short videos for classic literature? A. Short videos save time and offer vivid experiences. B. Classic books are often too out-of-date to be popular. C. They’re lacking in the motivation of reading completely. D. Video platforms provide more and more book-related content. 54. What makes A Dream of Red Mansions challenging for some students? A. Its unfamiliar themes and brief description. B. Its focus on ancient social culture in China. C. Its poetic language and various characters. D. Its unique writing features and target readers. 55. What is Zhang Boren’s opinion on enjoying classics via videos? A. Videos contribute more to inspiring imagination. B. Reading books increases readers’ independence. C. Reading books for readers is only to absorb facts. D. Videos are unlikely to contain all original details. 56. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Watch” the Classics B. “Update” the Videos C. “Approach” Literature D. “Play” with Vloggers 【答案】53. A 54. C 55. D 56. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了越来越多的人选择通过短视频来了解和欣赏经典文学作品的现象，分析了这一趋势的原因、影响及不同人群对此的看法。 53. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in flying moments. (在竞争激烈的社会环境中，人们变得越来越忙，短视频提供的简短文学讲解让一些人能够在碎片时间里从新鲜的角度体验故事。)”可知，短视频因其省时、生动而受欢迎。故选A。 54. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. (《红楼梦》以其对中国社会的细致描写、丰富多彩的人物和诗意的语言而闻名。)” 可知，《红楼梦》因其诗意的语言和众多人物而具有挑战性。故选C。 55. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Videos, although convenient, can't fully present the small details of a well-written story, ”said Zhang. (视频虽然方便，但不能完全呈现一个写得好的故事中的细小细节。) 可知，张博仁认为视频不太可能包含原作的所有细节。故选D。 56. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people instead enjoy these classics in online video series.(经典著作是文学界的瑰宝。多年来，人们通过阅读它们来获取知识。但现在，越来越多的人转而在网络剧集里欣赏这些经典作品。)”可知，本文主要讨论了人们通过短视频“观看”经典文学作品的新趋势，因此“Watch the Classics”最适合作为标题。故选A。 Passage 15 Classics are the gems(宝石) of the literary world.

In fact, a report from Common Sense Media says that they spend nearly one-third of their day on media. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. 6 . Begin conversations early. There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. 7 . Remember, teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s necessary that we take time to provide parental guidance to help them navigate the virtual world. 8 . Parents often report that they feel like they lack the technical skills to keep up with their child’s online behaviors, but I’d say that’s simply not true. It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends(趋势) of the day. You don’t need to be an IT expert to keep pace with what your kid does online. Also, there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources to help parents feel less nervous and more connected. Search the Internet. Make random Internet searches of your kid’s full name and nicknames along with the location, like residential state or city, to see if you pull up any surprising information. Also, check for images and video in case your kid was tagged in a post he or she didn’t know about. If you find inappropriate(不合适的) content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. 9 . Teach the basics. 10 . A practical rule for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline. We live in a day and age where kids need our help understanding the complexities of interacting socially online and offline. And they want our help perhaps more than we may even know. A. Stay current with what’s trending. B. Keep up with kids’ online behaviors. C. If not, repeat the procedure until you find any. D. These conversations need to be a priority and occur regularly. E. If need be, contact the service provider to help take it down. F. Fortunately, there are some ways to stay connected and keep kids safe. G. Kids should understand that device ownership comes with a high level of self-control. 【答案】6. F 7. D 8. A 9. E 10. G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对青少年每日大量上网但许多父母不了解孩子线上行为的问题，给出了亲子育儿的实用建议。 6. 上文“According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are doing online. (根据卡巴斯基实验室的一项调查，许多家长并不知道他们的孩子在网上做什么。)”提到卡巴斯基实验室的调查显示很多父母不清楚孩子的线上行为，空格处需承接这一问题并引出下文的解决办法。F项“幸运的是，有一些方法可以保持联系并保证孩子的安全。”中“some ways”恰好对应下文各段的实用建议，起到承上启下的过渡作用，符合语境。故选F。 7. 上文“There’s no time like the present to begin speaking with your kids about their online behaviors. (现在是开始和你的孩子谈论他们的网络行为的最佳时机。)”建议父母即刻开始和孩子聊线上行为，空格处应进一步说明这类沟通的要求。 D项“这些对话需要优先考虑并定期进行。” 其中“These conversations”指代上文提及的关于线上行为的沟通，且“occur regularly”与下文“teens spend more than a third of their day online, so it’s necessary that we take time to provide parental guidance (青少年每天上网的时间超过三分之一，所以我们有必要花时间提供家长指导)” 呼应，强调沟通需常态化，符合逻辑。故选D。 8. 下文“It’s necessary to read parenting posts, set up Internet alerts and stay on top of the technological trends of the day. (阅读育儿帖子、设置网络提醒、掌握当今的科技趋势是必要的。)” 以及 “there are many organizations that offer assistance and resources (还有许多组织提供帮助和资源)” 均在建议父母主动了解当下的技术趋势和相关资源。 A项“紧跟潮流。” 是对该段内容的概括，点明该段核心是父母要紧跟潮流、了解相关动态，作为段落主旨句合适。故选A。 9. 上文“If you find inappropriate content, work with your teen to get it removed immediately. (如果你发现不合适的内容，和你的孩子一起把它删除。)” 提到若发现不当内容要立刻和孩子一起删除，空格处应说明删除无果时的进一步举措。 E项“如有需要，请联系服务提供商进行清除。”承接上文，补充了借助平台服务商删除内容的方法，符合语境。故选E。 10. 下文“A practical rule for teens is to treat others with the same respect and kindness online as they would offline. (青少年来说，一个实用的规则是，在网上对待他人要像在线下一样尊重和友善。)” 提出青少年线上线下都要尊重他人的准则，空格处应先明确孩子使用电子设备需具备的核心素养。G项“孩子们应该明白，拥有电子设备意味着高度的自我控制。”强调孩子拥有电子设备需具备高度自控力，这是“treat others with respect and kindness”的前提，且引出了下文的具体规则，符合上下文逻辑。故选G。 Passage 3 In today’s digital world, short-form videos have become an essential part of daily life, especially for teenagers. Some platforms have changed how we consume content, providing quick, interesting videos for our fast-paced lives. But why are these videos so attractive? 11 The following sections will explore the psychology(心理学) behind short-form videos, their impact on teenagers, and how to find a healthy balance. Short-form videos are designed to attract attention quickly. Studies show that the average human attention span has dropped to just 8 seconds, making it harder to focus on long content. 12 They also provide quick pleasure by releasing dopamine, a brain chemical linked to happiness and reward, which keeps viewers coming back for more. However, the appeal of short-form videos comes with risks. 13 In 2024, the term “brain rot” gained popularity to describe how watching too much low-quality online content may change the way our brain works, leading not only to poor concentration but also to anxiety. Moreover, the constant stream of information can limit deep thinking and connection with the world around us. 14 Setting time limits on device usage, choosing educational content, and taking part in offline activities are practical steps for teens. Parents can set good examples by reducing their own screen time. Schools can teach digital skills, helping students critically analyze content and manage their time online. Finally, short-form videos are not basically bad — they are tools that can be used wisely. By understanding their psychological appeal and managing usage mindfully, teenagers can enjoy the benefits of these platforms while avoiding their disadvantages. 15 A. The social aspect cannot be overlooked. B. These videos feed our brains’ demand for instant excitement. C. Finding balance ensures technology improves life, not controls it. D. It is not just a trend but is deeply rooted in psychological principles. E. And what are the possible risks of spending too much time on them? F. Over-consuming short-form videos can weaken long-term concentration. G. To overcome these challenges, teenagers, families, and schools can work together. 【答案】11. E 12. B 13. F 14. G 15. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了短视频吸引人的心理原因、对青少年的影响及风险，还提出青少年、家庭和学校应共同努力找到健康使用短视频的平衡。 11. 上文“But why are these videos so attractive?(但为什么这些视频如此有吸引力呢)”提出问题，E选项“And what are the possible risks of spending too much time on them?(在它们上面花太多时间可能有什么风险呢)”进一步提出关于花费过多时间在短视频上的风险问题，与上文构成并列关系，引出后文对风险的探讨，句中“them”与上文“these videos”构成指代关系。故选E项。 12. 上文“Short form videos are designed to attract attention quickly.

So what really influences people when making oneself look good? Researchers studied 104 college students by showing them various photos of the same user on a social network. 18 One is social cues, which the study’s authors defined as personal and social information about the user that could be gathered from the photo. The other is congruence(一致性), which was measured in terms of the positivity of comments associated with each photo. Photos with social cues that revealed more about the user were rated highly in terms of physical attractiveness. 19 What’s more, the researchers noted, the tone of the comments had more effect on attractiveness ratings than did social cues present in the photos. “When other people’s comments are incongruent with the self-presentation,” the authors wrote, “participants were less likely to perceive(察觉) the profile owner to be more popular than when there is congruence, regardless of the amount of social cues present in the profile.” So your profile photos don’t necessarily have to be model-like. Photos that show your social relationships or hobbies are actually more important for your attractiveness. And if you want to build up a certain image, keep an eye on the comments being left on your social networking profiles. 20 A. They tested reactions to two factors. B. Choosing the right photo is important. C. A pretty photo may not be enough, the study shows. D. That’s because people’s comments are most important for your popularity. E. Therefore, attaching a wonderful photo can surely guarantee you a great job. F. Many university students rely on computer software to make their profile photos shine. G. Meanwhile, positive comments led viewers to regard users as more socially attractive. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. G 20.

Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox(脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. 21 Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life: Determine your problem times Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. 22 Identify your top two or three problem situations. 23 Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling(滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want. Try a substitute 24 It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. 25 And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens. A. Identify your true desire. B. Determine your pain points. C. Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied. D. But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance. E. Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping. F. Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time. G. If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step. 【答案】21. D 22. E 23.
