Children are arriving at primary school incapable of speaking properly but able to swipe screens on devices, while older pupils are self-diagnosing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because of exposure to online content, research has found. Head teachers said that primary schools needed help handling wrong theories because pupils and their parents were getting nearly all their news from social media.
The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils. Even children in England are taught how to identify wrong theories and extremist content in media literacy lessons in the recent classes.
There is also growing pressure on the government to ban phones in schools, but even very young children are being exposed to extreme or age-inappropriate online content at home. Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids. Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”
Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories.
Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.” Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.”
4. How do teachers feel about kids’ easy access to the Internet?
A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic.
5. Who is possibly responsible for children’s exposure to wrong information online?
A. Their teachers. B. The government. C. Their parents. D. The influencers.
6. How does the information affect students according to the text?
A. They can’t concentrate on study. B. They acquire better language skills.
C. They gradually become mentally healthier. D. They form a better relationship with others.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. More online time makes kids smarter. B. Teachers hesitate to solve the problem.
C. Society plays a key role in solving the problem. D. Parents should try to guide their kids well at home.
C
“Why launch a project so vast and time-consuming — the first systematic survey of major Chinese textile (纺织品) collections worldwide?” asks Zhao Feng, former director of the China National Silk Museum situated in Hangzhou.
Launched in 2022, the cross-border initiative aims to publish 100 scholarly volumes documenting Chinese silks preserved in museums and research institutions in China and abroad. The 12 volumes published so far include studies of the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where Zhao served as a visiting research fellow from 1997 to 1998.
“This effort not only reshapes our understanding of ancient Chinese silk civilization, but also provides a foundation for tracing intercultural exchange through textile evidence,” he says.
One example comes from the Shanpula (Sampula) tombs in Hotan, on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. The site was historically linked to the Kingdom of Khotan, a major Buddhist and trading center first recorded in the 2nd century BC — when long-distance commerce along the Silk Road was just beginning. The kingdom endured until its fall in the early 11th century.
Among the most revealing finds is a crimson silk fragment woven in a warp-faced compound weave and decorated with jade discs (玉璧) and animal masks. Although unearthed in China’s western frontier, its imagery clearly reflects the ritual and traditions of the Central Plains — modern-day Henan province. In ancient China, jade discs were upper class objects placed in burials as symbols of a gateway to heaven — a practice especially prominent between the 5th and 1st centuries BC. Quite a few similar cases have been found in other places.
“These silent witnesses of history should not remain hidden in museum storerooms,” Zhao says.
8. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To doubt the necessity of the project. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To stress the difficulty of the project. D. To explain the ways of doing research.
9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Zhao Feng opposes textile exhibitions.
B. The jade discs in the tomb held the spiritual power.
C. The Kingdom of Hotan appeared in the 11th century.
D. Zhao Feng is the director of the National Silk Museum.
10. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Widespread. B. Hidden. C. Mysterious. D. Important.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Links between west and central plains. B. The influence of National Silk Museum.
C. The significance of global textile collections. D. Zhao Feng’s contributions to the silk museum.
D
It isn’t just humans who can live in the land of pretend messy environment, but if you organise one, you might find that primates (灵长目动物) have more vivid imaginations than anyone expected.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University set up a scene similar to a child’s make-believe tea party. Kanzi, a 34-year-old ape, would face a researcher across a table set up with empty jugs, cups, bowls and jars. In one experiment, the cups and jugs were transparent and the researcher pretended to pour juice into the two cups and then pretended to pour the imaginary juice out of one of the cups before asking the ape “Where’s the juice?” They found that he was consistently able to point to the cup filled with imaginary juice. In a second experiment designed to test whether Kanzi understood the juice to be imaginary, the ape was able to tell between a cup full of real juice and the cup filled with imaginary juice, showing that he knew the cups in the first experiment were really empty. In a third experiment, the researcher pretended to take an imaginary grape from a bowl and place it inside one of two jars, before pretending to empty one jar. Kanzi was able to correctly pick the jar containing the imaginary grape. The study moved the cups and jugs around.
Christopher, co-author of the study, said: “Imagination has long been seen as a critical element of what it is to be human but the idea that it may not be exclusive to our species is really transformative. Jane Goodall discovered that chimps make tools and that led to a change in the definition of what it means to be human and this, too, really invites us to reconsider what makes us special.”
The study concluded: “Our study offers experimental evidence that a non-human animal can track pretend objects in pretend play, which is not uniquely human. Our findings suggest that the capacity to form secondary representations of pretend objects is within the cognitive potential of an ape, likely dating back 6-9 million years, to our common evolutionary ancestors.”
12. How did Kanzi engage in the experiments?
A. By identifying objects. B. By learning sign language.
C. By emptying the juice. D. By moving cups around.
13. What can we learn from the experiments?
A. Apes fail to find objects in mess. B. Christopher found apes make tools.
C. Only humans can make simple tools. D. Kanzi can choose jars with imagined grapes.
14. What might Christopher agree with?
A. Imagination is unique to humans. B. Only humans can make simple tools.
C. Their finding may be game-changing. D. Apes and humans have different ancestors.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Apes: Evolutionary Ancestors B. Apes: Imaginative Creatures
C. Apes: Clever Signal-Readers D. Apes: Skilful Tool Makers

Deal with it in a year
It’s coming to the end of the year and, as I sit surrounded by presents, I feel a desire to get rid of them. ____17____ All of that youthful excitement about making a list, checking it twice, no longer exists.

Plus there’s always a risk of being found out. My solution, which may not be perfect, is to put the presents I am not sure about in a bag and then hide the whole thing in a drawer. ____18____ This week, I’ve just discovered the presents from last Christmas. Now it feels safe to desert them though I bet I’m not the only one.
____19____
As I was trying to sort out my clothes, surrounded by 8 pairs of black trousers, a thought popped into my head: I need help. I’d been sorting out things for years yet still had too many clothes and “nothing to wear”. That’s when I hired Sam, who runs something called Conscious Edit. ____20____ She then returned, with see-through shoe boxes, slim hangers and a DIY clothes rail. There is no magic solution but when I had to explain out loud to her why I was keeping something. By the end, my clothes were either hanging, grouped by category or in drawers neatly folded or rolled. The shoes are in clear boxes in the front closet. It has taken on a new look.
You can surely make your room tidy and clean with these methods.
A. Turn to an expert.
B. Buy less clothes and shoes.
C. I then “discover” it a year later.
D. The following two tips may give you a hint.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The district championship game between Academy and Apache was physical and intense at the Academy of Classical Christian Studies in Oklahoma City. Apache was the visiting team from another city. The Academy players were falling behind and struggling, and the coach of the team, King, knew they’d have to try their best if they wanted to win. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache took the lead by 14 points with four minutes left on the clock.
King called one last timeout (暂停). “If we want to win this game, this is the time to do it,” he told his players. The captain Sam nodded and promised to go all out.
Academy came out of the timeout with new energy, playing as if they had nothing to lose, scoring shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then, with two minutes left to go, the referee blew the whistle, stopping play because there was a disagreement between scoreboard and scorebook.
The scoreboard showed Academy was losing by 4 points; the scorebook showed that Academy was losing by 2. League rules state that the scorebook is the ultimate result not the scoreboard. The scoreboard was then updated to 43-41 with Apache leading.
The game went on. Academy freshman Lily Payne hit a 3-point buzzer-beater to top Apache by a point for the school’s first-ever district championship. The Academy won! The home crowd rushed to the court as players celebrated with each other. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling.
“I need to know if we won that game or not, just for my peace of mind,” he said.
That night, King sat down at his kitchen table with the game tape. He watched the entire thing through, counting every point on a notepad. His gut (本能), it turned out, was right. Academy had actually lost the game by a point. He watched a second time to be sure.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
King decided to call players back and told them the bitter truth.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With his team’s support, King decided to deliver the trophy to the Apache players.

Children are arriving at primary school incapable of speaking properly but able to swipe screens on devices, while older pupils are self-diagnosing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because of exposure to online content, research has found. Head teachers said that primary schools needed help handling wrong theories because pupils and their parents were getting nearly all their news from social media.
The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils. Even children in England are taught how to identify wrong theories and extremist content in media literacy lessons in the recent classes.
There is also growing pressure on the government to ban phones in schools, but even very young children are being exposed to extreme or age-inappropriate online content at home. Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids. Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”
Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories.
Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.” Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.”
4. How do teachers feel about kids’ easy access to the Internet?
A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic.
5. Who is possibly responsible for children’s exposure to wrong information online?
A. Their teachers. B. The government. C. Their parents. D. The influencers.
6. How does the information affect students according to the text?
A. They can’t concentrate on study. B. They acquire better language skills.
C. They gradually become mentally healthier. D. They form a better relationship with others.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. More online time makes kids smarter. B. Teachers hesitate to solve the problem.
C. Society plays a key role in solving the problem. D. Parents should try to guide their kids well at home.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过教师和研究人员的观点,揭示了儿童因过度接触网络及社交媒体上的不实信息和极端内容,导致语言能力下降、注意力分散、心理健康受损及行为偏差,并呼吁家长、社会与政府共同承担引导责任。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils.(网络世界正在影响着学生的行为、观念和注意力集中程度。)”和第四段“Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories.(老师们补充道,学生能够无限制地获取网络信息,这对其行为产生了重大影响。还有其他老师表示,五岁或六岁大的男孩看到安德鲁·泰特等带有偏见的网红所发布的内容后,往往会欺负同学。老师们表示,在应对错误信息、假新闻和不合逻辑的理论方面,他们感到准备不足。)”可知,教师们对孩子们轻易接触网络所带来的负面影响感到担忧。故选B。

Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”(家长非但没有起到支持作用,反而让情况变得更糟。人们认为家长缺乏相关能力,常常误导孩子。一位副校长伊恩表示:‘这非常棘手,因为我们有那些认为新冠病毒并不存在的家长。’)”可知,家长不仅未能正确引导孩子,反而自身存在错误认知,对孩子接触网络错误信息负有责任。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句“The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils.(网络世界正在影响着学生的行为、观念和注意力集中程度。)”以及第五段“Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.”(另一位老师说:‘孩子们的心理健康正受到巨大影响,尤其是五、六年级的学生,因为他们通过算法看到的内容,会让他们越陷越深。’ )”可知,网络信息导致学生无法集中精力学习,影响了学生的心理健康。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.”(负责人艾米・布雷耶表示:‘教师们愿意迎接这一挑战,但他们需要更广泛的社会、政府,以及更重要的 —— 家长的支持。’)” 可知,在解决孩子受网络不良信息影响的问题上,家长的作用被强调为“更重要”;结合前文第三段中“Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids. Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”(家长非但没有起到支持作用,反而让情况变得更糟。人们认为家长缺乏相关能力,常常误导孩子。一位副校长伊恩表示:‘这非常棘手,因为我们有那些认为新冠病毒并不存在的家长。’)”指出家长自身存在问题,可以推断出家长应在家里更好地引导孩子。故选D。

“Why launch a project so vast and time-consuming — the first systematic survey of major Chinese textile (纺织品) collections worldwide?” asks Zhao Feng, former director of the China National Silk Museum situated in Hangzhou.
Launched in 2022, the cross-border initiative aims to publish 100 scholarly volumes documenting Chinese silks preserved in museums and research institutions in China and abroad. The 12 volumes published so far include studies of the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where Zhao served as a visiting research fellow from 1997 to 1998.
“This effort not only reshapes our understanding of ancient Chinese silk civilization, but also provides a foundation for tracing intercultural exchange through textile evidence,” he says.
One example comes from the Shanpula (Sampula) tombs in Hotan, on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. The site was historically linked to the Kingdom of Khotan, a major Buddhist and trading center first recorded in the 2nd century BC — when long-distance commerce along the Silk Road was just beginning. The kingdom endured until its fall in the early 11th century.
Among the most revealing finds is a crimson silk fragment woven in a warp-faced compound weave and decorated with jade discs (玉璧) and animal masks. Although unearthed in China’s western frontier, its imagery clearly reflects the ritual and traditions of the Central Plains — modern-day Henan province. In ancient China, jade discs were upper class objects placed in burials as symbols of a gateway to heaven — a practice especially prominent between the 5th and 1st centuries BC. Quite a few similar cases have been found in other places.
“These silent witnesses of history should not remain hidden in museum storerooms,” Zhao says.
8. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To doubt the necessity of the project. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To stress the difficulty of the project. D. To explain the ways of doing research.
9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Zhao Feng opposes textile exhibitions.
B. The jade discs in the tomb held the spiritual power.
C. The Kingdom of Hotan appeared in the 11th century.
D. Zhao Feng is the director of the National Silk Museum.
10. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Widespread. B. Hidden. C. Mysterious. D. Important.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Links between west and central plains. B. The influence of National Silk Museum.
C. The significance of global textile collections. D. Zhao Feng’s contributions to the silk museum.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过前中国丝绸博物馆馆长赵丰的引言,引出全球丝绸纺织品收藏项目,介绍了该项目的目的、已取得的成果,并通过具体文物实例阐述了其在重塑古代丝绸文明认知及追溯文化交流方面的重要意义。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段以赵丰的提问“Why launch a project so vast and time-consuming — the first systematic survey of major Chinese textile collections worldwide?” (为什么要启动一个如此庞大且耗时的项目——首个全球主要中国纺织品收藏系统性调查?)”开篇,随后引出2022年启动的跨境项目——旨在出版100卷学术著作,记录保存于国内外博物馆和研究机构的中国丝绸。这种以设问开头的写法是为了引出文章主题。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“In ancient China, jade discs were upper class objects placed in burials as symbols of a gateway to heaven. (在中国古代,玉璧是上层阶级的物品,被放置在墓葬中,作为通往天堂的象征。)”可知,墓葬中的玉璧具有精神层面的象征意义,代表通往天堂的通道。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段的语境“a practice especially prominent between the 5th and 1st centuries BC (一种在公元前5世纪至公元前1世纪特别prominent的做法)”,再结合后文“Quite a few similar cases have been found in other places. (在其他地方也发现了相当多类似的案例)”可知,这种习俗在当时是非常“普遍/盛行”的。所以划线单词prominent与widespread (普遍的)意义相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的句子“This effort not only reshapes our understanding of ancient Chinese silk civilization, but also provides a foundation for tracing intercultural exchange through textile evidence,” he says. (“这项努力不仅重塑了我们对中国古代丝绸文明的理解,还为通过纺织品证据追溯跨文化交流提供了基础。”他说。)”以及全文内容可知,全文围绕全球中国纺织品收藏系统性调查项目展开,强调其不仅重塑对中国古代丝绸文明的理解,还为通过纺织品证据追溯跨文化交流提供基础,并以山普拉墓葬出土的丝绸残片为例说明其学术价值。C项“The significance of global textile collections.(全球纺织品收藏的意义。)”概括了文章的主旨大意。故选C项。
D
It isn’t just humans who can live in the land of pretend messy environment, but if you organise one, you might find that primates (灵长目动物) have more vivid imaginations than anyone expected.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University set up a scene similar to a child’s make-believe tea party. Kanzi, a 34-year-old ape, would face a researcher across a table set up with empty jugs, cups, bowls and jars. In one experiment, the cups and jugs were transparent and the researcher pretended to pour juice into the two cups and then pretended to pour the imaginary juice out of one of the cups before asking the ape “Where’s the juice?” They found that he was consistently able to point to the cup filled with imaginary juice. In a second experiment designed to test whether Kanzi understood the juice to be imaginary, the ape was able to tell between a cup full of real juice and the cup filled with imaginary juice, showing that he knew the cups in the first experiment were really empty. In a third experiment, the researcher pretended to take an imaginary grape from a bowl and place it inside one of two jars, before pretending to empty one jar. Kanzi was able to correctly pick the jar containing the imaginary grape. The study moved the cups and jugs around.
Christopher, co-author of the study, said: “Imagination has long been seen as a critical element of what it is to be human but the idea that it may not be exclusive to our species is really transformative. Jane Goodall discovered that chimps make tools and that led to a change in the definition of what it means to be human and this, too, really invites us to reconsider what makes us special.”
The study concluded: “Our study offers experimental evidence that a non-human animal can track pretend objects in pretend play, which is not uniquely human. Our findings suggest that the capacity to form secondary representations of pretend objects is within the cognitive potential of an ape, likely dating back 6-9 million years, to our common evolutionary ancestors.”
12. How did Kanzi engage in the experiments?
A. By identifying objects. B. By learning sign language.
C. By emptying the juice. D. By moving cups around.
13. What can we learn from the experiments?
A. Apes fail to find objects in mess. B. Christopher found apes make tools.
C. Only humans can make simple tools. D. Kanzi can choose jars with imagined grapes.
14. What might Christopher agree with?
A. Imagination is unique to humans. B. Only humans can make simple tools.
C. Their finding may be game-changing. D. Apes and humans have different ancestors.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Apes: Evolutionary Ancestors B. Apes: Imaginative Creatures
C. Apes: Clever Signal-Readers D. Apes: Skilful Tool Makers
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员通过一系列模拟虚构游戏的实验,发现猩猩Kanzi能够准确追踪想象中的物品,区分真实与虚拟物体,证明想象力并非人类独有。这一研究具有变革意义,促使人们重新思考人类的独特性,并表明这种认知能力可能源于人类与灵长类动物数百万年前的共同祖先。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“In one experiment, the cups and jugs were transparent and the researcher pretended to pour juice into the two cups and then pretended to pour the imaginary juice out of one of the cups before asking the ape “Where’s the juice?” They found that he was consistently able to point to the cup filled with imaginary juice. In a second experiment designed to test whether Kanzi understood the juice to be imaginary, the ape was able to tell between a cup full of real juice and the cup filled with imaginary juice, showing that he knew the cups in the first experiment were really empty. In a third experiment, the researcher pretended to take an imaginary grape from a bowl and place it inside one of two jars, before pretending to empty one jar. Kanzi was able to correctly pick the jar containing the imaginary grape.(在一次实验中,杯子和罐子是透明的,研究人员假装往两个杯子中倒入果汁,然后假装从其中一个杯子中倒出想象中的果汁,接着问猩猩“果汁在哪里?”他们发现,它总是能够指向装有想象中果汁的杯子。在另一项旨在测试卡尼兹是否理解果汁是虚构的实验中,这只猩猩能够区分装有真果汁的杯子和装有想象果汁的杯子,这表明它知道在第一次实验中那些杯子实际上是空的。在第三项实验中,研究人员假装从一个碗里取出一个想象中的葡萄,并将其放入两个罐子中的一个里,然后假装倒空其中一个罐子。卡尼兹能够正确地挑选出装有假想的葡萄的罐子。)”可知,Kanzi在每次实验中都是通过指出或挑选出含有想象中物品的杯子或罐子来参与实验的,即通过“识别物体”完成任务。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“In a third experiment, the researcher pretended to take an imaginary grape from a bowl and place it inside one of two jars, before pretending to empty one jar. Kanzi was able to correctly pick the jar containing the imaginary grape.(在第三项实验中,研究人员假装从一个碗里取出一个想象中的葡萄,并将其放入两个罐子中的一个里,然后假装倒空其中一个罐子。卡尼兹能够正确地挑选出装有假想的葡萄的罐子。)”可知,Kanzi能够正确挑选出装有假想葡萄的罐子。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段Christopher所说的话“Imagination has long been seen as a critical element of what it is to be human but the idea that it may not be exclusive to our species is really transformative.(想象力长期被视为人类的关键特质,但认为它可能并非人类独有的这一想法确实具有变革性。)”可知,Christopher认为这一发现可能是具有颠覆性、具有变革意义的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇“It isn’t just humans who can live in the land of pretend messy environment, but if you organise one, you might find that primates (灵长目动物) have more vivid imaginations than anyone expected.(并非只有人类才能生活在虚构的世界里,如果你设计一个这样的场景,或许会发现灵长类动物的想象力比任何人预想的都要丰富。)”提出灵长类动物可能拥有比预期更生动的想象力,随后通过三个实验证明猿类能够追踪想象物体,最后引用研究者观点指出想象力并非人类独有。全文核心围绕“猿类具备想象力”展开,B选项“Apes: Imaginative Creatures(猿类:富有想象力的生物)”能够概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How can we have fewer things in our house and make it spacious since it is full of never-opened packages and unnecessary items? ____16____
Deal with it in a year
It’s coming to the end of the year and, as I sit surrounded by presents, I feel a desire to get rid of them. ____17____ All of that youthful excitement about making a list, checking it twice, no longer exists. I have friends so cruel that they start to throw it away the moment they open a present. You can see them writing the description to sell it on. I don’t approve. It is too cruel. Plus there’s always a risk of being found out. My solution, which may not be perfect, is to put the presents I am not sure about in a bag and then hide the whole thing in a drawer. ____18____ This week, I’ve just discovered the presents from last Christmas. Now it feels safe to desert them though I bet I’m not the only one.
____19____
As I was trying to sort out my clothes, surrounded by 8 pairs of black trousers, a thought popped into my head: I need help. I’d been sorting out things for years yet still had too many clothes and “nothing to wear”. That’s when I hired Sam, who runs something called Conscious Edit. ____20____ She then returned, with see-through shoe boxes, slim hangers and a DIY clothes rail. There is no magic solution but when I had to explain out loud to her why I was keeping something. By the end, my clothes were either hanging, grouped by category or in drawers neatly folded or rolled. The shoes are in clear boxes in the front closet. It has taken on a new look.
You can surely make your room tidy and clean with these methods.
A. Turn to an expert.
B. Buy less clothes and shoes.
C. I then “discover” it a year later.
D. The following two tips may give you a hint.
E. First she comes to assess, which took a few hours.
F. Most of us look forward to getting presents on holidays.
G. The truth about Christmas, when you get older, is that you need almost nothing.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两种处理家中闲置物品、让家居更宽敞的实用方法。
【16题详解】
上文“How can we have fewer things in our house and make it spacious since it is full of never-opened packages and unnecessary items?(既然家里装满了从未打开的包裹和不必要的物品,我们怎样才能减少家里的东西,让它变得宽敞呢?)”说明作者提出了家居整理的疑问。空处和前文为顺接关系,引出下文的解决方法。所以D项“两个建议可能会给你一些提示。”符合语境。D选项中的“two tips”呼应下文介绍的两种方法,起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“It’s coming to the end of the year and, as I sit surrounded by presents, I feel a desire to get rid of them.(年底快到了,当我坐在一堆礼物中间时,我想把它们扔掉)”说明作者长大后对节日礼物的态度发生了变化。下文“All of that youthful excitement about making a list, checking it twice, no longer exists.(那份年轻时对列清单、检查两次的兴奋都不复存在了)”再次表明长大后对节日礼物的态度的变化。空处和前文为顺接关系,进一步说明这种变化的原因。所以G项“当你长大后,圣诞节的真相是你几乎什么都不需要。”符合语境。G选项承接前文“想扔掉礼物”的想法,解释了背后的原因——长大后不再需要太多礼物,与后文“年轻时的兴奋不再存在”相呼应。故选G。
【18题详解】
上文“My solution, which may not be perfect, is to put the presents I am not sure about in a bag and then hide the whole thing in a drawer.(我的解决办法可能并不完美,就是把我不确定要不要的礼物放进一个袋子里,然后把整个袋子藏在抽屉里)”说明作者处理不确定礼物的方法。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明后续的做法。所以C项“然后我在一年后“发现”它)”符合语境。C选项中的“a year later”与后文“This week, I’ve just discovered the presents from last Christmas.(本周,我刚刚发现了去年圣诞节的礼物)”相呼应,体现了作者“一年后处理”的方法。故选C。
【19题详解】
下文“As I was trying to sort out my clothes, surrounded by 8 pairs of black trousers, a thought popped into my head: I need help. I’d been sorting out things for years yet still had too many clothes and “nothing to wear”. That’s when I hired Sam, who runs something called Conscious Edit.(当我试图整理被8条黑色裤子包围的衣服时,一个想法突然出现在我的脑海里:我需要帮助。多年来,我一直在整理东西,但仍然有太多的衣服和“没什么可穿的”。就在那时,我聘请了Sam,他经营着一家名为Conscious Edit的公司)”说明作者在整理衣物时遇到困难,于是寻求专业人士的帮助。空处是本段主旨句,概括本段核心内容。所以A项“向专家求助。”符合语境。A选项点明本段核心是“找专家帮忙整理”,后文内容围绕作者雇佣山姆整理衣物展开,故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“That’s when I hired Sam, who runs something called Conscious Edit.(就在那时,我聘请了Sam,他经营着一家名为Conscious Edit的公司)”说明作者雇佣了专业人士山姆。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明山姆的第一步工作。所以E项“首先她来评估,这花了几个小时。”符合语境。E选项中的“First”体现工作的先后顺序,与后文“She then returned, with see-through shoe boxes, slim hangers and a DIY clothes rail.(然后,她带着透明的鞋盒、纤细的衣架和DIY衣架回来了)”的“then”相呼应。故选E。

My Views on Using AI Properly
Dear classmates,
Recently, some of us have been turning to AI while studying. It is true that AI can help us save much time and improve our efficiency. However, this trend makes us worried. Some students frequently rely on AI for answers instead of thinking on their own, which will surely lead to laziness and the loss of creative and critical thinking abilities.
In my view, every coin has two sides, and AI is no exception. I suggest that we should try to figure out problems by ourselves instead of depending too much on AI.
Let’s learn to use AI wisely and become the master of our learning!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The district championship game between Academy and Apache was physical and intense at the Academy of Classical Christian Studies in Oklahoma City. Apache was the visiting team from another city. The Academy players were falling behind and struggling, and the coach of the team, King, knew they’d have to try their best if they wanted to win. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache took the lead by 14 points with four minutes left on the clock.
King called one last timeout (暂停). “If we want to win this game, this is the time to do it,” he told his players. The captain Sam nodded and promised to go all out.
Academy came out of the timeout with new energy, playing as if they had nothing to lose, scoring shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then, with two minutes left to go, the referee blew the whistle, stopping play because there was a disagreement between scoreboard and scorebook.
The scoreboard showed Academy was losing by 4 points; the scorebook showed that Academy was losing by 2. League rules state that the scorebook is the ultimate result not the scoreboard. The scoreboard was then updated to 43-41 with Apache leading.
The game went on. Academy freshman Lily Payne hit a 3-point buzzer-beater to top Apache by a point for the school’s first-ever district championship. The Academy won! The home crowd rushed to the court as players celebrated with each other. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling.
“I need to know if we won that game or not, just for my peace of mind,” he said.
That night, King sat down at his kitchen table with the game tape. He watched the entire thing through, counting every point on a notepad. His gut (本能), it turned out, was right. Academy had actually lost the game by a point. He watched a second time to be sure.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】参考范文
King decided to call players back and told them the bitter truth. The truth was that the real score was 43-42 and the championship rightfully belonged to Apache. On hearing the bad news, everyone was shocked. King patiently told them the detail of the mistake. An Academy shot went up and rolled around the rim. The crowd went wild, sure that it was bound to drop into the basket, but then it didn’t. So the score was miscounted. Players fell into silence. Captain Sam nodded, admitting that the Apache team had worked just as hard and deserved the win. Lily added firmly that the trophy must go to its true owner.
With his team’s support, King decided to deliver the trophy to the Apache players. Before setting off for the destination, King thought highly of players’ decision for the fair play spirit, adding that he was so proud of them for their performance and devotion. Returning the trophy couldn’t take away their glory. After 90 minutes’ drive, King and Captain Sam returned the trophy to the coach and players of Apache. The Apache team was deeply moved, never expecting such honesty. At that moment, everyone truly understood that honesty is the best policy.
