Whether during the summer break or the academic year, these initiatives provide an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and contribute to our community in meaningful ways. The Summer Volunteer Program This program provides two main types of roles to meet different interests. First, in Hospital Support roles, students assist in services like the Family Centre or Gift Shop to help create a warm atmosphere. Alternatively, those in Child Life roles engage in play activities and assist in keeping a safe playroom. Note that volunteers in Child Life roles must be willing to put on necessary equipment, such as masks and clothes, as many placements require entering isolation rooms (隔离室). The Co-op Program Unlike the summer option, this program offers Grades 11 and 12 students the chance to get involved in health-care or research careers during their regular school terms. Students earn academic credits while participating in hands-on positions that may include office work, interacting with patients, or doing research in the Hospital and Research Institute. Qualification Requirements To be considered for either program, applicants must meet specific criteria. You must be currently a high school student and be at least 16 years old by the start of the program. For the Summer Program, volunteers must commit to working three hours every weekday (Monday to Friday) throughout July or August. Due to the program’s intensive nature, we are strictly unable to accommodate absences. Therefore, please consider any personal conflicts, such as summer courses or family vacations, before applying. Application Information The Summer Program runs in two separate sessions: July 2-31 and August 1-31. However, applications for both months must be submitted online in March. The program is highly competitive, with around 400 applicants competing for only 50 summer spots. 36. What common feature do the volunteer programs at SickKids have? A. They both help with school coursework. B. They both provide practical experience. C. They are both related to research work. D. They are both intended for future doctors. 37. What is required of volunteers in Child Life roles? A. Taking on research tasks. B. Dealing with office duties. C. Helping at the Family Centre. D. Wearing protective equipment. 38. What is a special benefit of the Co-op Program? A. Getting a well-paid position. B. Playing with young patients. C. Receiving credits for activities. D. Exploring the Family Centre. 39. Which of the following students is suitable for the Summer Program? A. One engaged in the summer family trip. B. One turning sixteen after the start date. C. One available for the whole July session. D. One handing in an application this June. 40. What can be learned about the Summer Volunteer Program? A. It demands commitment and reliability. B. It offers flexible hours for students. C. It ensures a place for every applicant. D. It requires a medical background. B Zhu Yancheng, a native of Anhui province, has founded Lanvita, an AI-driven memoir (回忆录) platform for the elderly. The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology. To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said. With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward. One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old GongGuoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said. Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted. After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded. 41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita? A. Her professional background in AI. B. A request from local nursing homes. C. A survey on senior consumption habits. D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools. 42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey? A. There’s a widespread demand for memoir products. B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors. C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors. D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computers. 43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir? A. The record of urban development. B. The sufferings caused by wars. C. The link between personal stories and history. D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth. 44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation? A. It includes AI knowledge from its users. B. It gains users through offline services. C. It targets seniors with computer skills. D. It relies on online advertisements. 45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI should be designed with a human touch. B. Seniors can master new technology with ease. C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple. D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare. C A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 46. How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A. By using different particle states. B. By improving chemical reactions. C. By adding more storage units. D. By reducing the battery size. 47. Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A. To make the conventional battery system efficient. B. To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C. To simplify the conventional charging process. D. To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 48. What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A. Their value remains to be proven. B. Their performance is difficult to judge. C. Their practical application is challenging. D. Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 49. What will Tan’s team probably do next? A. Put the battery into a quantum computer. B. Build a new classical heat engine. C. Make their charging methods better. D. Link the battery to a heat engine. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. The status and future of conventional batteries. B. The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C. The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D. The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. D Back in the day, understanding required construction. If you wanted clarity, you had to build it from the inside out, struggling with ambiguity (模糊) and uncertainty longer than feels comfortable. This “cognitive (认知的) building” emerged brick by brick and thought by thought. That work wasn’t a barrier to thought; it was the architecture of thought itself. The distance between a question and its answer shaped judgment, because the journey required the brick and mortar of human cognition. Today, however, that journey faces greater competition than ever. Artificial intelligence (AI) produces complete and often persuasive structures, bypassing the labor-intensive process of gathering bits of information or interpreting subtle clues. These AI-generated structures mix perfectly into our mental models. When answers are delivered rather than constructed, something profound shifts in the experience of reasoning. The word “easy” now borders on “cheap.” For the first time the logical flow can simply be picked, not built bit by bit. This shift is not a moral failing, but rather a natural adjustment. Our minds have commonly saved energy when lower-cost pathways were available. Yet, this redistribution of cognitive cost can change habits over time. Fluency may begin to take priority over depth merely because it arrives effortlessly. It reflects an environment in which the “energetic balance” between constructing knowledge and selecting information has been fundamentally broken. In the context of AI, human thought remains possible, but it now requires deliberately choosing the higher-effort route. Today’s challenge lies in choosing between accepting AI’s fluent answer and enduring the discomfort of deeper thought. Historically, every major cognitive technology has redistributed mental effort. Writing externalized (外化) memory, calculators externalized arithmetic and search engines externalized searching for information. Now, AI externalizes structured completion itself. When technology changes what costs effort, minds reorganize accordingly. The question isn’t whether to ban AI, but whether we recognize the invisible shift it introduces. Our capacity for deep, self-reflective thought stays strong, but it no longer sustains itself automatically. In a world where answers are conveniently pre-built, genuine depth demands self-awareness and, above all, the willingness to take the more demanding path. 51. The author uses the phrase “brick and mortar” in Para.1 to ________. A. describe a physical process B. stress needed thinking skills C. show how understanding is built D. explain how AI works perfectly 52. What is a direct consequence of relying on AI-generated answers? A. Deep thinking needs to be chosen on purpose. B. Our minds become unable to accept new ideas. C. Logical reasoning puts too much pressure on us. D. People’s interest in technology starts to drop. 53. What is the author’s opinion of the cognitive shift caused by AI? A. A necessary moral correction. B. A natural effort-saving adjustment. C. A cause of memory problems. D. A tool for energy balance analysis. 54. With the examples in the last paragraph, the writer intends to ________. A. argue against the use of AI B. warn against the loss of thought C. prove the role of technology D. show the shift in mental effort 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. AI: A Better Way to Think. B. Deep Thought: Building or Picking. C. The Age of Easy Answers. D. The Path to Deep Thinking. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The first time I went to China was in 1996. After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, I moved to Beijing to study Chinese and later earned a doctorate. Since then, I have studied and worked in China for almost 30 years. So it is not surprising that every time I return to my hometown in northern Italy, my friends and relatives refer to me as “the Chinese”. How did I become “Chinese”? Someone once told me that I behave in a Chinese way. For example, in Chinese tradition, it is considered good manners not to offer direct criticism, but to focus on the other person. While Italians have no hesitation in saying a loud and clear “no”, I now find that quite rude. Having grown used to the Chinese indirect communication, I prefer to say “Maybe you are busy?” instead of a direct rejection. I also prefer to eat in a “Chinese” way. It is not just about the food, but about the feeling of togetherness. I feel slightly uncomfortable when everyone orders individual portions instead of sharing dishes placed in the middle of the table. In China, sharing a meal is imperative for building strong relationships and creating a warm atmosphere. Another way I have changed is how I interact in groups. In China, before a group photo, people can spend minutes gently pushing others to stand in the middle while they step aside. Moreover, the first time I gave red envelopes to my Italian nieces, they were completely puzzled. But now they have learned what these red envelopes represent, and always look forward to receiving them during festivals. I study Confucianism and see that its wisdom is appreciated in Italy as well. Like many other foreigners, I will always be a laowai in China, but in Italy, I am proudly “the Chinese”. 56. Why is the author regarded as “the Chinese” in Italy? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________ 57. How does the author say “no” to others now? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________ 58. Why does the author feel less comfortable with everyone ordering their own individual dishes? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________ 59. What does the underlined word “imperative” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) __________________________________________________ 60. Besides those mentioned, which Chinese custom or practice would you recommend to a foreign friend? Please explain why. (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你所在小组近期围绕“高中生课外阅读”完成了项目学习。请你根据对本校同学进行课外阅读时间和偏好的调查数据，为与英国友好学校共用的线上交流平台“Global Youth Lens”撰写一篇短文，分享你们的研究发现。 内容包括： （1）简单概括图表反映的主要问题； （2）简要分析产生上述问题的原因； （3）提出改进阅读习惯的建议。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：课外阅读 extracurricular reading Hello, everyone!

The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology. To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said. With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward. One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old GongGuoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said. Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted. After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded. 41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita? A. Her professional background in AI. B. A request from local nursing homes. C. A survey on senior consumption habits. D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools. 42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey? A. There’s a widespread demand for memoir products. B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors. C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors. D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computers. 43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir? A. The record of urban development. B. The sufferings caused by wars. C. The link between personal stories and history. D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth. 44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation? A. It includes AI knowledge from its users. B. It gains users through offline services. C. It targets seniors with computer skills. D. It relies on online advertisements. 45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI should be designed with a human touch. B. Seniors can master new technology with ease. C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple. D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45.

Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 46. How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A. By using different particle states. B. By improving chemical reactions. C. By adding more storage units. D. By reducing the battery size. 47. Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A. To make the conventional battery system efficient. B. To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C. To simplify the conventional charging process. D. To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 48. What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A. Their value remains to be proven. B. Their performance is difficult to judge. C. Their practical application is challenging. D. Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 49. What will Tan’s team probably do next? A. Put the battery into a quantum computer. B. Build a new classical heat engine. C. Make their charging methods better. D. Link the battery to a heat engine. 50. What is the main idea of the text? A. The status and future of conventional batteries. B. The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C. The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D. The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. 【答案】46. A 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了量子电池的储能原理、研究进展、潜在优势以及实际应用面临的挑战。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions.

If you wanted clarity, you had to build it from the inside out, struggling with ambiguity (模糊) and uncertainty longer than feels comfortable. This “cognitive (认知的) building” emerged brick by brick and thought by thought. That work wasn’t a barrier to thought; it was the architecture of thought itself. The distance between a question and its answer shaped judgment, because the journey required the brick and mortar of human cognition. Today, however, that journey faces greater competition than ever. Artificial intelligence (AI) produces complete and often persuasive structures, bypassing the labor-intensive process of gathering bits of information or interpreting subtle clues. These AI-generated structures mix perfectly into our mental models. When answers are delivered rather than constructed, something profound shifts in the experience of reasoning. The word “easy” now borders on “cheap.” For the first time the logical flow can simply be picked, not built bit by bit. This shift is not a moral failing, but rather a natural adjustment. Our minds have commonly saved energy when lower-cost pathways were available. Yet, this redistribution of cognitive cost can change habits over time. Fluency may begin to take priority over depth merely because it arrives effortlessly. It reflects an environment in which the “energetic balance” between constructing knowledge and selecting information has been fundamentally broken. In the context of AI, human thought remains possible, but it now requires deliberately choosing the higher-effort route. Today’s challenge lies in choosing between accepting AI’s fluent answer and enduring the discomfort of deeper thought. Historically, every major cognitive technology has redistributed mental effort. Writing externalized (外化) memory, calculators externalized arithmetic and search engines externalized searching for information. Now, AI externalizes structured completion itself. When technology changes what costs effort, minds reorganize accordingly. The question isn’t whether to ban AI, but whether we recognize the invisible shift it introduces. Our capacity for deep, self-reflective thought stays strong, but it no longer sustains itself automatically. In a world where answers are conveniently pre-built, genuine depth demands self-awareness and, above all, the willingness to take the more demanding path. 51. The author uses the phrase “brick and mortar” in Para.1 to ________. A. describe a physical process B. stress needed thinking skills C. show how understanding is built D. explain how AI works perfectly 52. What is a direct consequence of relying on AI-generated answers? A. Deep thinking needs to be chosen on purpose. B. Our minds become unable to accept new ideas. C. Logical reasoning puts too much pressure on us. D. People’s interest in technology starts to drop. 53. What is the author’s opinion of the cognitive shift caused by AI? A. A necessary moral correction. B. A natural effort-saving adjustment. C. A cause of memory problems. D. A tool for energy balance analysis. 54. With the examples in the last paragraph, the writer intends to ________. A. argue against the use of AI B. warn against the loss of thought C. prove the role of technology D. show the shift in mental effort 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. AI: A Better Way to Think. B. Deep Thought: Building or Picking. C. The Age of Easy Answers. D. The Path to Deep Thinking. 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. D 55.

After staying in Hong Kong for a few days, I moved to Beijing to study Chinese and later earned a doctorate. Since then, I have studied and worked in China for almost 30 years. So it is not surprising that every time I return to my hometown in northern Italy, my friends and relatives refer to me as “the Chinese”. How did I become “Chinese”? Someone once told me that I behave in a Chinese way. For example, in Chinese tradition, it is considered good manners not to offer direct criticism, but to focus on the other person. While Italians have no hesitation in saying a loud and clear “no”, I now find that quite rude. Having grown used to the Chinese indirect communication, I prefer to say “Maybe you are busy?” instead of a direct rejection. I also prefer to eat in a “Chinese” way. It is not just about the food, but about the feeling of togetherness. I feel slightly uncomfortable when everyone orders individual portions instead of sharing dishes placed in the middle of the table. In China, sharing a meal is imperative for building strong relationships and creating a warm atmosphere. Another way I have changed is how I interact in groups. In China, before a group photo, people can spend minutes gently pushing others to stand in the middle while they step aside. Moreover, the first time I gave red envelopes to my Italian nieces, they were completely puzzled. But now they have learned what these red envelopes represent, and always look forward to receiving them during festivals. I study Confucianism and see that its wisdom is appreciated in Italy as well. Like many other foreigners, I will always be a laowai in China, but in Italy, I am proudly “the Chinese”. 56. Why is the author regarded as “the Chinese” in Italy?

Someone once told me that I behave in a Chinese way.(我是怎么变得“中国人”的？有人曾跟我说，我的行为举止很中国化。)”可知，作者在中国学习和工作30年，而且举止行为被中国人所影响，举止行为中国化了，因此，作者被叫做“中国人”。故答案为：Because he has lived in China and behaved in Chinese way./ Because he has studied and worked in China for years./ Because he has lived in China for 30 years. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段内容“Having grown used to the Chinese indirect communication, I prefer to say ‘Maybe you are busy?’ instead of a direct rejection.(习惯了中国人委婉的交流方式，我更愿意说“也许您很忙？”而不是直接拒绝。)”可知，作者用委婉的交流，比如“也许您很忙？”代替直接的拒绝。故答案为：He prefers to do it in an indirect way./ He declines them in a very indirect way./ He says “Maybe you are busy?”/ By saying “Maybe you are busy?” 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段内容“It is not just about the food, but about the feeling of togetherness. I feel slightly uncomfortable when everyone orders individual portions instead of sharing dishes placed in the middle of the table.(这不仅仅关乎食物本身，更关乎那种相聚在一起的温馨感觉。当每个人都点单独的份量，而不是共享摆在餐桌中央的菜肴时，我会感到有些不自在。)”可知，作者不习惯各自点餐，是因为缺少一起分享、团聚的氛围。故答案为：It lacks the feeling of togetherness and sharing./ Sharing dishes helps build relationships in China./ It lacks the shared experience that builds relationships./ Because sharing dishes builds relationships and togetherness./ Sharing meals is key for relationships and warmth./ He wants the feeling of togetherness. 【59题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据画线单词所在句的关键词和短语“In China(在中国)”，“sharing a meal(聚餐分享)”，“building strong relationships and creating a warm atmosphere(维系关系、营造氛围)”以及常识可知，在中国聚餐分享对维系关系、营造氛围有重要作用。由此推知，“imperative”是“重要的，必不可少的”含义，与单词“important”，“crucial”，“essential”，“key”，“significant”，“vital”，“necessary”表达。故答案为：Important./ Crucial./ Essential./ Key./ Significant./ Vital./ Necessary. 【60题详解】 开放性题目。根据文章主旨要义，可推荐任意中国习俗并简要说明理由即可，如茶文化（tea culture）、包饺子（making dumplings）等。故答案为：I’d recommend tea culture. It reflects respect, calmness, and is a great way to connect with others./ Making dumplings. It symbolizes family reunion and brings joy to people./ Drinking tea. It is a healthy habit that shows respect to guests. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你所在小组近期围绕“高中生课外阅读”完成了项目学习。请你根据对本校同学进行课外阅读时间和偏好的调查数据，为与英国友好学校共用的线上交流平台“Global Youth Lens”撰写一篇短文，分享你们的研究发现。 内容包括： （1）简单概括图表反映的主要问题； （2）简要分析产生上述问题的原因； （3）提出改进阅读习惯的建议。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：课外阅读 extracurricular reading Hello, everyone! I’d like to share some findings from our recent project on reading habits. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Hello, everyone! I’d like to share some findings from our recent project on reading habits. Our survey reveals two main concerns: many students spend less than 30 minutes on daily reading, and most prefer short articles or social media posts over books. This suggests a lack of deep, sustained reading. Several factors may explain this. First, heavy homework leaves little free time. Second, digital devices constantly distract us with quick, entertaining content. As a result, sitting down with a book feels challenging. To cultivate deeper reading, we could start small. Setting aside 20 minutes daily for a paper book is a good step. Also, forming a book club might make reading more fun and social. We’d love to hear how you tackle reading in your school! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。要求考生根据对本校同学进行课外阅读时间和偏好的调查数据，为与英国友好学校共用的线上交流平台“Global Youth Lens”撰写一篇短文，分享研究发现。 【详解】1.词汇积累 揭示：reveal→uncover/unveil 表明：suggest→indicate/demonstrate 解释：explain→account for 解决：tackle→handle/deal with/approach 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Second, digital devices constantly distract us with quick, entertaining content. 拓展句：Second, digital devices, which offer quick and entertaining content, constantly distract us. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Setting aside 20 minutes daily for a paper book is a good step.（运用了动名词作主语） 【高分句型2】We’d love to hear how you tackle reading in your school!（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
