【原文】M: Scientists believe they know why birds’ eggs are different in shapes. Some eggs are quite round; some are kind of potato-shaped; and others are longer and pointy. A new study from Princeton University in the US suggests that the shape of the egg depends on how well and how fast the female birds fly. Mary Stoddard said, “It has not gone unnoticed that birds have evolved to lay eggs with shapes that are quite diverse in form.” Mary Stoddard and her colleagues mapped the shape of different eggs. They visited many egg farmers and interviewed 3,000 bird watchers. They looked at almost 50,000 eggs from 1,400 different kinds of birds. The researchers put the shape, length and height of the eggs into a computer database. They also looked at how oval the eggs were. The researchers found that the birds that lay the most-oval-shaped eggs were the best fliers. They also found that hummingbirds lay the most-oval-shaped eggs, and sea birds lay the pointiest eggs.

Liu Jiakun, a Chinese architect from Chengdu, won the 2024 Pitzker Prize, architecture’s highest honor. Known for designs that mix local culture with modern needs, he became the second Chinese citizen to receive this award.
Unlike many architects who chase grand buildings, Liu’s creativity is grounded in local simple things. For 40 years, he has stayed in his hometown, proving local roots can grow into universal ideas. His famous work, West Village, shows this philosophy. Designed like a hotpot, where various ingredients come together in a bubbling and flavorful mix, this five-story building complex blurs the boundaries between public and private, formal and informal. Here, old men walk with pet birds, children play soccer, and young people take photos, all sharing one dynamic space.
Liu’s career path was far from predetermined. Before college, he had never even heard of architecture. When filling out university applications, he simply sought a path to securing a stable job. Notably, throughout the decade after graduating, Liu almost abandoned architecture entirely, pouring his energy into writing. But, in 1993, a solo exhibition by a former classmate in Shanghai changed everything. “I realized architecture could be attractive, leading to people’s emotional responses and deep thinking.”
Liu’s care for people shines brightest after disasters. In 2008, after an earthquake hit Wenchuan, he repurposed the stones from the quake into bricks to rebuild homes and create a memorial. “These bricks carry memories,” he explained. For a 15- year- old girl who loved books but died in the quake, he built a small pink memorial hall with a round skylight, letting sunlight dance like pages turning.
To Liu, architecture is like writing — both need lifelong learning. “They force you to keep growing,” he smiles. Every building he creates, from earthquake memorials to community spaces, becomes what he calls “a love letter to my homeland”. Through brick and light, Liu Jiakun shows how staying true to one’s roots can shape spaces where everyone belongs. His story reminds us that greatness often grows from local soil.
24. What is Liu’s creation based on?
A. Grand buildings. B. Universal ideas.
C. Local roots. D. Dynamic space.
25. Why did Liu pick up architecture again?
A. He needed a stable job. B. He regained his energy.
C. He no longer liked writing. D. He was motivated by an exhibition.
26. What is the purpose of the specially- made bricks?
A. To comfort people. B. To hold memories.
C. In honor of a girl victim. D. For the sake of environment.
27. Which of following can best describe Liu Jiakun?
A. Caring and creative. B. Positive and gifted.
C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Passionate and humble.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】

(灾难过后,刘家琨对人们的关爱表现得最为突出。)”可知,其充满爱心。故选A项。
C
A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. The brave marine (海洋的) giant’s journey also marks the first documentation of an adult male humpback traveling between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The humpback was first spotted off the coast of Colombia in 2013 and seen again a few years later not far from his original location. But in 2022, the whale was unexpectedly detected in the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar, off the coast of East Africa.
The typical migration route for humpback whales can be longer than 8,000 kilometers in a single direction. “These animals are separate individuals, and they’ll do surprising things,” said study coauthor Ted Cheeseman, a marine biologist at Southern Cross University in Australia. “These oceans are very much connected spaces, and whales travel beyond borders.” To track the whale’s migration patterns, the study authors used a platform called Happy Whale. It allows scientists, researchers and whale watchers to contribute photos of their whale sightings.
Humpback whales live in oceans around the world and are known for completing some of the longest migrations of any mammal (哺乳动物), but this whale’s travels are special due to his movement between two breeding grounds (繁殖地). Humpback whales typically return to specific breeding locations each year. For example, one of the humpback populations in the North Pacific migrates to feed in waters around Alaska during the summer and spends the winter in waters around the Hawaiian Islands to breed and raise baby whales. This whale, however, migrated between two separate breeding groups in different oceans.
“Our thinking is that whales always go to the place where they came from,” said Ari Friedlaender, professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study. “But there has to be some movement where you get some animal explorers that decide, for whatever reason, to follow a different path.”
28. What makes the humpback whale’s journey surprising?
A. Its migration speed and length. B. Its migration mode and speed.
C. Its migration length and pattern. D. Its migration time and route.
29. How did the researchers track the whale’s migration route?
A. By attaching satellite devices to the whale. B. Through a platform collecting sighting photos.
C. By monitoring whale sounds in the ocean. D. Through direct observations during ship voyages.
30. What does Ari Friedlaender’s words imply in the last paragraph?
A. Whales consistently return to their original breeding sites.
B. Environmental changes are pushing whales to seek alternative routes.
C. Migration routes are mainly driven by temperature preferences.
D. Some whales might explore new paths for unexplored reasons.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ocean Giants: The Secret Lives of Humpback Whales
B. Beyond Borders: How Technology Tracks Whale Migration
C. The Lone Explorer: A Whale’s Record-Breaking Journey
D. Breeding Grounds Mystery: Why Whales Change Routes
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C

细节理解题。根据第一段“A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found.(一项新的研究发现,一头雄性座头鲸从南美洲游到了非洲——行程超过13046公里——这是有记录以来单只鲸鱼最长的迁徙距离)”以及第三段“This whale, however, migrated between two separate breeding groups in different oceans.(然而,这只鲸鱼却在两个位于不同海洋的独立繁殖群体之间进行迁徙)”可知,迁徙的路程和路线让这头座头鲸的迁徙之旅如此令人惊讶。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To track the whale’s migration patterns, the study authors used a platform called Happy Whale. It allows scientists, researchers and whale watchers to contribute photos of their whale sightings.(为了追踪鲸鱼的迁徙路线,研究的作者们使用了一个名为“快乐鲸鱼”的平台。该平台能让科学家、研究人员以及鲸鱼观察者们上传他们所见到的鲸鱼的照片)”可知,研究人员通过一个收集目击照片的平台追踪这头鲸鱼的迁徙路线。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our thinking is that whales always go to the place where they came from,” said Ari Friedlaender, professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study. “But there has to be some movement where you get some animal explorers that decide, for whatever reason, to follow a different path.”(加州大学圣克鲁兹分校的海洋科学教授阿里·弗里德兰德(Ari Friedlaender)表示:“我们的观点是,鲸鱼总是会回到它们出生的地方。”他并未参与此项研究。“但肯定会有某些动物在移动过程中做出改变,它们可能会出于某种原因决定走一条不同的路线。”)”可知,艾里·弗里德兰德在最后一段的言论意味着有些鲸鱼可能会出于未知的原因探索新的路径。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. The brave marine (海洋的) giant’s journey also marks the first documentation of an adult male humpback traveling between the Pacific and Indian oceans.(一项新研究发现,一头雄性座头鲸从南美洲游到了非洲——行程超过13460公里——这是有记录以来单只鲸鱼所进行的最长迁徙。这位勇敢的海洋巨兽的旅程还首次记录了一头成年雄性座头鲸在太平洋和印度洋之间游弋的情况)”可知,文章主要说明了一头雄性座头鲸从南美迁至非洲,行程超1.3万公里,创单鲸迁徙纪录,也是成年雄性首跨太平洋与印度洋,其迁徙模式打破常规。因此C选项“独行者:鲸鱼的创纪录之旅”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
In an era where “digital detox” has become a buzzword, people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps, turn their phone screens to black-and-white, or switch to simple phones. Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle. To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black-and-white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it.
This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. Similarly, today’s digital minimalism, while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads, has created a huge $8. 7 billion industry selling “anti-tech” products. Examples include writing apps without ads, “smart” paper notebooks that need internet updates, and simple-looking gadgets. These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy, like turning a protest sign into a fashion accessory.
The real problem is showing off simplicity. A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e-book readers or meditation tools. This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks: the empty space looks simple, but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms.
Maybe we need a new way of thinking. Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water — using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop. Writer Jenny Odell, in her book How to Do Nothing, argues that real freedom isn’t about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it. This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age.
32. What is the main outcome of digital minimalists’ efforts?
A. They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules.
B. They depend more on technology to achieve their goals.
C. They inspire others to join the digital detox movement.
D. They completely abandon modern devices like iPads.
33. Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned?
A. To show anti-tech trends are not new in history.
B. To criticize the high cost of handmade products.
C. To prove that older generations valued simplicity more.
D. To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools.
34. What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists?
A. They prefer meditation apps to entertainment.
B. Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists’s.
C. They spend less time on social media than average users.
D. Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts.
35. What solution does the author support for balancing digital life?
A. Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B. Labeling technology as either “good” or “bad. ”
C. Embracing small digital joys without guilt. D. Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出数字极简主义者对抗科技过载的努力陷入矛盾,依赖科技且产生相关产业,还揭示其实际屏幕时间未减,最后提出应在数字生活中寻找平衡。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black and white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it. (为了减少屏幕使用时间,他们使用像Forest这样的应用程序来跟踪自己的习惯;为了取代iPad,他们购买价值200美元的特殊黑白设备;为了了解极简主义,他们花几个小时观看YouTube视频。令人惊讶的是,App Annie 2023年的报告显示,“数字健康”应用程序的下载量增长了140%,这证明这场反对科技的运动仍然严重依赖科技。)”可知,数字极简主义者为了达到目标更多地依赖了科技。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. (这种矛盾呼应了历史模式。19世纪,英国工艺美术运动通过推崇手工制品来抵制工厂制造的商品。然而,这些手工制品变成了只有富人才能买得起的昂贵奢侈品。)”可知,提到19世纪的工艺美术运动是为了说明反科技潮流在历史上并不新鲜。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e book readers or meditation tools. (2024年斯坦福大学的一项研究发现,62%自称数字极简主义者的人在手机上花费的时间相同——他们只是从社交媒体转向了像电子书阅读器或冥想工具这样的“合规”应用程序。)”可知,斯坦福大学的研究揭示出数字极简主义者尽管做出努力,但其总的屏幕使用时间并未改变。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age. (这可能意味着在我们的数字生活中允许有一些小小的快乐时刻:工作时弹出的有趣猫咪视频,或者理解家庭成员在聊天群里反复发布健康信息其实是在表达爱。当我们不再将每一个科技选择评判为“好”或“坏”,而是专注于有意义的联系时,我们可能最终会在数字时代感到自由。)”可知,作者支持在数字生活中毫无愧疚地享受数字带来的小快乐,以此来平衡数字生活。故选C项。

考查非谓语动词。句意:在一些员工发布了自己在晚上9点后不被允许加班的经历之后,总部位于深圳的无人机制造商大疆最近在社交媒体平台新浪微博上成为热门话题。介词of后接动名词,且allow与其逻辑主语employees之间为被动关系,应用动名词的被动形式being allowed作宾语。故填being allowed。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:家电制造商美的在1月底发布了一份内部通知,要求其员工简化工作流程,减少与工作相关的微信群,避免形式主义会议。句子已有谓语issued,且与所给动词间无连词,空处应用非谓语形式。动词ask与其逻辑主语Midea之间为主动关系,应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填asking。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些变化标志着中国职场文化的重大转变,关注员工福祉而不是不合理的加班。根据句意,此处表示“优先于”,应用介词over,构成“focus on A over B”结构,意为“关注A而不是B”。故填over。

Liam had never liked hospitals. But every Thursday afternoon, he walked through the double doors of the wards in Nationwide Children’s Hospital, carrying a worn guitar and a bag full of puppets (木偶). After losing his younger sister to blood cancer five years earlier, Liam started volunteering as a hospital entertainer—quietly giving laughter where it was most needed.
He wasn’t loud, or particularly funny. But he was gentle, patient, and kind. Most kids smiled eventually with his company, even the shy ones. When Liam played together with them, the kids were wild with joy. Some clapped along to his songs. Some asked to try the puppets themselves. Almost all doctors and nurses said his visits were better than medicine to some degree.
But actually, there was one patient he couldn’t quite reach: Ava, a ten-year-old girl with a notebook always clutched (紧抓) to her chest. She rarely spoke, rarely smiled, and never made eye contact to anyone. She watched Liam’s puppet shows from her bed, silent and still, showing no interest in anything around at all. Her drawings, though, told another story—skies full of stars, animals in suits, and people with wings. So strange was she that other kids also kept a distance from her.
Week after week, Liam kept trying. He used every puppet voice he knew, from silly, funny, to serious. He even brought in a little red hat for his main puppet, Charlie, hoping to make her laugh. Still, the girl gave no reaction.
Then one Thursday, as Liam packed up to leave, he noticed something new on her nightstand: a drawing of Charlie—the puppet with the red hat—holding hands with a girl who looked a lot like Ava. Liam felt a wave of warmth and surprise flooded into his heart.
He smiled and quietly left a note beside it: “Looks like he made a friend.”
The next week, as Liam played his guitar as usual, Ava finally opened her mouth.
“Does your puppet have a name?” she asked, so softly that he almost thought he imagined it.

【答案】 Liam was so surprised that he almost dropped the guitar. He managed to steady his hands and replied with a gentle smile, “His name is Charlie.” Then he carefully picked up Charlie and began to make the puppet wave at Ava. “Charlie says hello,” he said softly. Ava’s eyes lit up slightly, and for the first time, she made eye contact with Liam. Encouraged, Liam spent the rest of the visit sharing stories about Charlie’s adventures, and Ava listened intently, even letting out a few small giggles. Before he left, Ava shyly showed him more of her drawings, and Liam praised each one sincerely. From that day on, Ava became more open, and their friendship grew with each weekly visit.
Years later, Ava became a volunteer in that same hospital. Remembering how Liam’s kindness had touched her during her darkest days, she wanted to bring the same warmth to other children. She would sit by the bedsides, sharing stories, showing her drawings, and listening to the kids’ thoughts. When she saw a withdrawn child, she didn’t give up easily. Instead, she patiently found their interests and slowly opened their hearts. Just as Liam had once done for her, Ava became a source of light for those in need, passing on the love and hope that had been given to her.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Liam因失去妹妹而选择在医院做志愿者,通过音乐和木偶表演为孩子们带来欢乐。尽管大多数孩子都喜欢他的表演,唯独一个叫Ava的女孩始终沉默寡言。直到有一天,Liam发现Ava画了他的木偶Charlie,并在之后主动与他交流,两人逐渐建立友谊的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句“Liam惊讶得几乎把吉他掉在地上。”可知,第一段可描写Liam如何回应Ava,以及他们之间如何通过Charlie建立联系,最终让Ava敞开心扉。
②由第二段首句“多年后,Ava成为了同一家医院的志愿者。”可知,第二段可描写Ava受Liam影响,成为志愿者后如何帮助其他孩子,传递Liam曾给予她的爱与希望。

Liu Jiakun, a Chinese architect from Chengdu, won the 2024 Pitzker Prize, architecture’s highest honor. Known for designs that mix local culture with modern needs, he became the second Chinese citizen to receive this award.
Unlike many architects who chase grand buildings, Liu’s creativity is grounded in local simple things. For 40 years, he has stayed in his hometown, proving local roots can grow into universal ideas. His famous work, West Village, shows this philosophy. Designed like a hotpot, where various ingredients come together in a bubbling and flavorful mix, this five-story building complex blurs the boundaries between public and private, formal and informal. Here, old men walk with pet birds, children play soccer, and young people take photos, all sharing one dynamic space.
Liu’s career path was far from predetermined. Before college, he had never even heard of architecture. When filling out university applications, he simply sought a path to securing a stable job. Notably, throughout the decade after graduating, Liu almost abandoned architecture entirely, pouring his energy into writing. But, in 1993, a solo exhibition by a former classmate in Shanghai changed everything. “I realized architecture could be attractive, leading to people’s emotional responses and deep thinking.”
Liu’s care for people shines brightest after disasters. In 2008, after an earthquake hit Wenchuan, he repurposed the stones from the quake into bricks to rebuild homes and create a memorial. “These bricks carry memories,” he explained. For a 15- year- old girl who loved books but died in the quake, he built a small pink memorial hall with a round skylight, letting sunlight dance like pages turning.
To Liu, architecture is like writing — both need lifelong learning. “They force you to keep growing,” he smiles. Every building he creates, from earthquake memorials to community spaces, becomes what he calls “a love letter to my homeland”. Through brick and light, Liu Jiakun shows how staying true to one’s roots can shape spaces where everyone belongs. His story reminds us that greatness often grows from local soil.
24. What is Liu’s creation based on?
A. Grand buildings. B. Universal ideas.
C. Local roots. D. Dynamic space.
25. Why did Liu pick up architecture again?
A. He needed a stable job. B. He regained his energy.
C. He no longer liked writing. D. He was motivated by an exhibition.
26. What is the purpose of the specially- made bricks?
A. To comfort people. B. To hold memories.
C. In honor of a girl victim. D. For the sake of environment.
27. Which of following can best describe Liu Jiakun?
A. Caring and creative. B. Positive and gifted.
C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Passionate and humble.
C
A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers — the longest migration recorded for a single whale, a new study found. The brave marine (海洋的) giant’s journey also marks the first documentation of an adult male humpback traveling between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The humpback was first spotted off the coast of Colombia in 2013 and seen again a few years later not far from his original location. But in 2022, the whale was unexpectedly detected in the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar, off the coast of East Africa.
The typical migration route for humpback whales can be longer than 8,000 kilometers in a single direction. “These animals are separate individuals, and they’ll do surprising things,” said study coauthor Ted Cheeseman, a marine biologist at Southern Cross University in Australia. “These oceans are very much connected spaces, and whales travel beyond borders.” To track the whale’s migration patterns, the study authors used a platform called Happy Whale. It allows scientists, researchers and whale watchers to contribute photos of their whale sightings.
Humpback whales live in oceans around the world and are known for completing some of the longest migrations of any mammal (哺乳动物), but this whale’s travels are special due to his movement between two breeding grounds (繁殖地). Humpback whales typically return to specific breeding locations each year. For example, one of the humpback populations in the North Pacific migrates to feed in waters around Alaska during the summer and spends the winter in waters around the Hawaiian Islands to breed and raise baby whales. This whale, however, migrated between two separate breeding groups in different oceans.
“Our thinking is that whales always go to the place where they came from,” said Ari Friedlaender, professor of ocean sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study. “But there has to be some movement where you get some animal explorers that decide, for whatever reason, to follow a different path.”
28. What makes the humpback whale’s journey surprising?
A. Its migration speed and length. B. Its migration mode and speed.
C. Its migration length and pattern. D. Its migration time and route.
29. How did the researchers track the whale’s migration route?
A. By attaching satellite devices to the whale. B. Through a platform collecting sighting photos.
C. By monitoring whale sounds in the ocean. D. Through direct observations during ship voyages.
30. What does Ari Friedlaender’s words imply in the last paragraph?
A. Whales consistently return to their original breeding sites.
B. Environmental changes are pushing whales to seek alternative routes.
C. Migration routes are mainly driven by temperature preferences.
D. Some whales might explore new paths for unexplored reasons.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ocean Giants: The Secret Lives of Humpback Whales
B. Beyond Borders: How Technology Tracks Whale Migration
C. The Lone Explorer: A Whale’s Record-Breaking Journey
D. Breeding Grounds Mystery: Why Whales Change Routes
D
In an era where “digital detox” has become a buzzword, people who call themselves digital minimalists proudly delete social apps, turn their phone screens to black-and-white, or switch to simple phones. Yet their fight against technology overload often creates a confusing cycle. To reduce screen time, they use apps like Forest to track their habits; to replace iPads, they buy $200 special black-and-white devices; and to learn about minimalism, they spend hours watching YouTube videos. Surprisingly, App Annie’s 2023 report showed downloads of “digital wellness” apps jumped by 140%, proving that this movement against technology still deeply depends on it.
This contradiction echoes historical patterns. In the 19th century, the British Arts and Crafts Movement fought against factory-made goods by praising handmade items. However, these handmade products became expensive luxuries only the rich could afford. Similarly, today’s digital minimalism, while trying to resist distractions from apps and ads, has created a huge $8. 7 billion industry selling “anti-tech” products. Examples include writing apps without ads, “smart” paper notebooks that need internet updates, and simple-looking gadgets. These products turn the idea of rebellion into something people can buy, like turning a protest sign into a fashion accessory.
The real problem is showing off simplicity. A 2024 Stanford study found that 62% of people who call themselves digital minimalists spend the same amount of time on their phones — they just switch from social media to “approved” apps like e-book readers or meditation tools. This is similar to Instagram photos of perfectly clean desks: the empty space looks simple, but behind it are complex phone settings and app algorithms.
Maybe we need a new way of thinking. Scholar Andrew Hui suggests treating technology like water — using it wisely without wasting or nervously measuring every drop. Writer Jenny Odell, in her book How to Do Nothing, argues that real freedom isn’t about running away from the digital world but finding balance within it. This could mean allowing small, joyful moments in our digital lives: a funny cat video popping up during work, or understanding that a family member’s repeated health posts in a chat group are really about showing love. When we stop judging every tech choice as “good” or “bad” and focus on meaningful connections, we might finally feel free in the digital age.
32. What is the main outcome of digital minimalists’ efforts?
A. They successfully reduce screen time through strict rules.
B. They depend more on technology to achieve their goals.
C. They inspire others to join the digital detox movement.
D. They completely abandon modern devices like iPads.
33. Why is the 19th-century Arts and Crafts Movement mentioned?
A. To show anti-tech trends are not new in history.
B. To criticize the high cost of handmade products.
C. To prove that older generations valued simplicity more.
D To compare traditional crafts with modern digital tools.
34. What does the Stanford study reveal about digital minimalists?
A. They prefer meditation apps to entertainment.
B. Their phone settings are simpler than non-minimalists’s.
C. They spend less time on social media than average users.
D. Their total screen time remains unchanged despite efforts.
35. What solution does the author support for balancing digital life?
A. Strictly avoiding all non-work-related technology. B. Labeling technology as either “good” or “bad. ”
C. Embracing small digital joys without guilt. D. Returning to pre-industrial lifestyles.

Liam had never liked hospitals. But every Thursday afternoon, he walked through the double doors of the wards in Nationwide Children’s Hospital, carrying a worn guitar and a bag full of puppets (木偶). After losing his younger sister to blood cancer five years earlier, Liam started volunteering as a hospital entertainer—quietly giving laughter where it was most needed.
He wasn’t loud, or particularly funny. But he was gentle, patient, and kind. Most kids smiled eventually with his company, even the shy ones. When Liam played together with them, the kids were wild with joy. Some clapped along to his songs. Some asked to try the puppets themselves. Almost all doctors and nurses said his visits were better than medicine to some degree.
But actually there was one patient he couldn’t quite reach: Ava, a ten-year-old girl with a notebook always clutched (紧抓) to her chest. She rarely spoke, rarely smiled, and never made eye contact to anyone. She watched Liam’s puppet shows from her bed, silent and still, showing no interest in anything around at all. Her drawings, though, told another story—skies full of stars, animals in suits, and people with wings. So strange was she that other kids also kept a distance from her.
Week after week, Liam kept trying. He used every puppet voice he knew, from silly, funny, to serious. He even brought in a little red hat for his main puppet, Charlie, hoping to make her laugh. Still, the girl gave no reaction.
Then one Thursday, as Liam packed up to leave, he noticed something new on her nightstand: a drawing of Charlie—the puppet with the red hat—holding hands with a girl who looked a lot like Ava. Liam felt a wave of warmth and surprise flooded into his heart.
He smiled and quietly left a note beside it: “Looks like he made a friend.”
The next week, as Liam played his guitar as usual, Ava finally opened her mouth.
“Does your puppet have a name?” she asked, so softly that he almost thought he imagined it.
注意:
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
(2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Liam was so surprised that he almost dropped the guitar.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years later, Ava became a volunteer in that same hospital.
