Second， customers don’t have to carry a mobile phone or a bank card， which makes payment more convenient. When it comes to its disadvantages， the most worrying thing is that face recognition hasn’t reached 100％ accuracy， which might lead to payment risks. In addition， customers’ personal information may be revealed illegally. 　　Imperfect as it is， I believe with the improvement of face recognition technology， face-scanning payment will surely become more and more popular. 4 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅲ　Developing ideas 维度一：品句填词 1.The loss of her beloved pet filled her heart with deep 　　　　　　（悲伤）， making it hard for her to focus on daily activities. 2.Drug 　　　　　　　　（滥用） can lead to serious health problems， which is why education about the dangers is so important. 3.The increase in 　　　　　　（偷窃） in the neighborhood has led to calls for improved security measures around local homes and shops. 4.She reached into her bag to find her 　　　　　　（钱包） missing； it must have been taken during the crowded bus ride. 5.Before booking the trip， make sure to consider all the e　　　　　　 involved， including transportation， accommodation， and meals. 6.They h　　　　　　 a car for their week-long vacation， finding it more convenient than relying on public transport. 维度二：词形转换 1.He gets 　　　　　　（frustrate） when people don’t understand what he’s trying to say. 2.She is thought to be 　　　　　　（convention） in her views. 3.Proper 　　　　　　（supervise） is crucial to ensure the safety of children during school activities. 4.The police have identified the suspect as the 　　　　　　（theft） who stole jewelry from several houses in the neighborhood. 5.Traveling abroad can be quite 　　　　　　（expense）， so it’s important to budget carefully before departure. 6.Her eyes were red and swollen from crying； she looked so 　　　　　　（sorrow） after hearing the bad news. 维度三：固定搭配和句式 1.The hot air balloon 　　　　　　（起飞）at dawn， offering us a breathtaking view of the countryside. 2.The volunteer 　　　　　　（承担） the task of teaching computer skills to elderly residents. 3.AI should help humans， not replace them 　　　　　　　　　　　（以牺牲工作岗位为代价） — we must find a balanced approach. 4.If you invest now，you will be buying 　　　　　　　　　　　　（以最低价格）.The shares are at their lowest today. 5.She decided to 　　　　　　　　（出租） a room to get extra income. 6.　　　　　　　 （无论开车上班还是乘坐公共交通）， leaving early can help you avoid rush hour. 维度四：一词多义/熟词生义 快速阅读下列句子并选出句中加黑词汇对应的意思 1.abuse A.n.滥用　　　B.v.虐待　　　C.n.辱骂 ①Janet had been abused by her father since she was eleven. 　　　　　 ②Drug abuse has long been a major problem for the authorities there. 　　　　　 ③He turned around and directed a stream of abuse at me. 　　　　　 快速阅读下列句子并猜测句中加黑词汇的意思 2.They have increased their share of the market by 10％. 　　　　　 3.To hire a car you must provide a passport and a current driving licence. 　　　　　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·重庆高二下期末） For more than a decade， Li Dongmei operated a series of kindergartens and schools for young children， resisting the realities of China’s declining birthrate. In 2020， she finally faced the music and shifted direction. She now offers music and art classes for seniors. “The biggest economy is the silver economy，” said Li， “It is bigger than the children’s market.” 　　In 2022， China’s population declined for the first time since 1961. The country had more deaths than births again last year， and the number of people over the age of 60 reached over 290 million， which is one in every five Chinese people. China’s National Health Commission estimates that the country’s elderly population will grow to more than 400 million by around 2035. 　　Targeting older customers， Xinjiang Tianrun Dairy （奶制品）， a state-owned company， bought a smaller company last year to focus on creating powdered milk for middle-aged and elderly consumers. Nestle， the Swiss food and drink company， has also introduced special powdered milk products for seniors. A leading Chinese dairy company， Yili Group， is promoting its products for seniors through television commercials. 　　Cai Hao， a private business owner， opened a store selling baby goods in 2018 in Shijiazhuang. In the beginning， his store only sold clothes and footwear for babies. A sudden increase of newborns due to the two-child policy has slowed down in recent years. Then a few years ago， customers started to ask whether his store carried powdered milk for older people. Figuring he didn’t have much to lose， Cai began to sell it. Sales grew so he added different varieties including those for people with diseases. Now， about 10％ of his sales come from dairy products for seniors. He said， “I never made a strategic decision to start targeting older customers， but 10％ of my sales now come from dairy products for seniors. Who wouldn’t be willing to sell more if they could？” 1.What does the underlined phrase “face the music” in paragraph 1 mean？（　　） A.Enjoy music.　 B.Accept reality. C.Raise questions. D.Avoid consequences. 2.Why does the author list those numbers in paragraph 2？（　　） A.To stress a problem. B.To explain a rule. C.To clarify a concept.

C.They expanded their business for seniors. D.They bought numerous smaller companies. 4.What can be inferred from Cai Hao’s words？（　　） A.No strategies work in baby goods business. B.Declining birthrate makes his business suffer. C.Most of his profits come from senior products. D.People can benefit if they turn to silver economy. B 　　（2025·江苏苏州高二下期末） Victories are temporary in China’s fast-changing economy. Earlier this month Colin Huang， the founder of Pinduoduo， became China’s richest man. The company， founded in 2015， today is China’s third-largest e-commerce firm by sales， behind only JD.com and Alibaba. 　　Mr Huang’s time atop China’s rich list was， however， brief. On 26 August Pinduoduo’s share price decreased by nearly 30％ after it reported sales for the quarter from April to June fell short of the market’s high expectations and gave warning that a long-run decline in profitability was “unavoidable”. 　　Pinduoduo’s misfortunes are set against a backdrop of weakening consumer spending in China. In June sales from the “618” shopping festival fell for the first time， despite a number of platforms extending their sales periods this year. A fierce price war is adding to the trouble. Visit any Chinese e-commerce site and you will be impressed by signs advertising huge discounts and promising the cheapest deals online. Competition has grown more intense because of attacks into e-commerce by short-video apps such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Some merchants are piling yet more pressure on the industry. Some Chinese e-commerce companies juice their sales by fining merchants for late deliveries or product mismatches. Last month hundreds of suppliers surrounded the offices of Temu， Pinduoduo’s foreign branch， in the southern city of Guangzhou to protest against such punishment. 　　Pinduoduo may be hoping that international expansion will rescue it from deteriorating conditions at home. That will not be straightforward. Although the number of people using Temu， which launched in America in 2022， has rocketed， owing in no small part to the vast amounts it has spent on advertising， turning that into profit has proved trickier. 　　What is more， America’s e-commerce Amazon is fighting back against the Chinese upstart. During its Prime Day sale in July it offered discounts of up to 70％ on some products. It is also reportedly planning to launch a discount section on its site which will feature cheap items. 5.Why did Pinduoduo’s share price decrease sharply？（　　） A.China is experiencing a major economic boom. B.Colin Huang failed to run the company well. C.Sales for the second quarter didn’t meet the expectations. D.Consumers were unwilling to spend money on the platform. 6.What difficulty is Pinduoduo faced with？（　　） A.The rapid rise of JD.com and Alibaba. B.The pressure from consumers and suppliers. C.The invasion of many overseas e-commerce giants. D.The intense price competition and weak purchasing power. 7.What does the underlined word “deteriorating” in paragraph 4 probably mean？（　　） A.Declining. B.Alarming. C.Increasing. D.Changing. 8.How does the author find Pinduoduo’s expansion of international market？（　　） A.Hopeful. B.Cautious. C.Unclear. D.Favourable.

Living a minimalistic lifestyle means reflecting on your values and then following through on cutting out things that are no longer serving you. 　　Decluttering （清理） 　　9.（　　） You can start as simply as getting rid of one item， such as a piece of decoration that you don’t want or need. Consider each item individually and decide whether it is necessary， useful or brings you joy. A minimalistic lifestyle isn’t about getting rid of all of your possessions. 10.（　　） 　　Kitchen tips 　　The kitchen is one of the easiest places to reduce clutter. Go through your appliances， silverware， bowls， plates and tools， and drop any that you don’t use. For items like plates and silverware， try not to keep more than you need.11.（　　） For example， a toaster oven that also has an air fry option or a food processor that also works as a blender. 　　Minimalist wardrobe （衣柜） 　　One of the easiest ways to begin getting your wardrobe smaller is by trying everything on. Get rid of anything that doesn’t fit or that you don’t feel confident in. 12.（　　） 　　Adjust your thought process 　　Maintaining a minimalistic lifestyle is a much more internal process than external. 13.（　　） Before making purchases， try to imagine how the item would fit into your life， how often you would use it and whether it’s necessary.
