A recent survey among 2,000 middle school students showed that 70% feel pressure to reply to text messages immediately, even during family dinners or homework time. This phenomenon has been named the "always-on" culture. Psychologists point out that while social media serves as a powerful medium for connection, it can also lead to embarrassment and regret. For example, a student might send a rude text in a moment of anger, only to realise later that they can't take it back. To avoid this, experts suggest the "5-minute rule": write the message, wait for five minutes, and then decide whether to send it. This simple gesture allows emotions to cool down and communication to become more effective. Furthermore, fixing a misunderstanding online is much harder than doing it in person. A sincere apology expressed through text often lacks the warmth of a voice or a hug. Therefore, some schools have started programmes to teach students how to properly divide their attention between the digital and real world. They encourage students to earn "offline hours" where they focus on face-to-face communication, which is a more effective way to build strong friendships. The key, as one booklet explains, is not to avoid technology, but to use it based on a clear understanding of its cultural and social impact. 1. What does the "always-on" culture refer to in the passage? A. The habit of always keeping the phone on. B. The feeling of needing to be constantly available online. C. The culture of using social media for studying. D. The pressure to buy the latest smartphone. 2. According to the passage, what is the main problem with sending a rude text? A. It can be easily deleted. B. It can cause lasting regret. C. It is a good way to express anger. D. It is a proper medium for communication. 3. What is the "5-minute rule" suggested by experts? A. Reply to a message within 5 minutes. B. Spend only 5 minutes on social media each day. C. Wait for 5 minutes before sending an emotional message. D. Take a 5-minute break from studying every hour. 4. Why is fixing a misunderstanding online more difficult than doing it in person? A. Because people type very slowly. B. Because text messages often get lost. C. Because online apologies are not allowed. D. Because non-verbal cues like warmth are missing. 5. What are "offline hours" used to encourage students to do? A. Avoid using any form of technology. B. Focus more on their school homework. C. Value and practice face-to-face communication. D. Earn extra grades by staying offline. 6. What is the author's main attitude towards technology in the last paragraph? A. We should completely avoid it. B. We should use it wisely and with understanding. C. It is the main cause of all social problems. D. It is less important than school booklets. B篇 完形填空 (7小题，每小题2分，满分14分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Have you ever tried to communicate with someone who speaks a different language? It can be a frustrating experience. However, a new mobile app ___7___ to change that. The app, called "Bridge," uses artificial intelligence to translate conversations in real-time. The idea for the app came from its creator, David, who travelled to Japan. During his trip, he felt a deep sense of ___8___ because he couldn't order food properly. He knew it wasn't the waiter's ___9___, but the language barrier made him feel rude and uncomfortable. This experience led him to ___10___ a system that could bridge the communication gap. "Bridge" works by dividing a conversation into small parts. It focuses on key words and then translates them. Users can either text or speak into the app. The app is designed to be an ___11___ tool for travelers, business people, and students. Unlike other apps that only translate single words, "Bridge" understands the context of a whole sentence. This helps to ___12___ common misunderstandings that happen because of cultural differences. One of the best features is the "culture tip" button. When you press it, the app provides a short booklet-like note explaining the proper gesture or etiquette for that situation. For example, in some cultures, maintaining eye contact is a sign of honesty, while in others, it might be considered rude. The app allows you to ___13___ with anyone, anywhere, making the world a smaller and friendlier place. 7. A. promises B. regrets C. apologizes D. fixes 8. A. excitement B. embarrassment C. joy D. pride 9. A. honour B. medium C. fault D. turn 10. A. earn B. avoid C. realise D. develop 11. A. effective B. rude C. social D. cultural 12. A. create B. focus C. prevent D. cheer 13. A. divide B. communicate C. pronounce D. survey C篇 (5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据对话内容，从方框后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Student A: Hey, did you see the school survey results about communication?

My friend once sent a rude text by accident, and I didn't realise it was a joke. Student A: ___16___ How did you fix it? Student B: Well, I had to apologise face-to-face. It was hard, but it worked. Student A: So, what's the most effective way to communicate, then? Student B: ___17___ It allows you to use gestures and hear the tone of voice. Student A: I agree. We should probably focus more on that. Student B: ___18___ Let's start by talking to each other more during lunch break. A. That sounds embarrassing. B. I regret to say that I prefer texting. C. I totally agree. It's a big problem. D. I think in person is still the best. E. That's a great idea. F. The chart showed that most of us prefer text over talking. G. You should avoid using social media forever. D篇 回答问题 (4小题，每小题1分，满分4分) 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。 A new study from the University of Cambridge shows that the simple act of "cheering for" someone can greatly improve team performance. Researchers divided 120 students into 40 teams and asked them to solve a complex puzzle. Half of the teams were told to remain silent, while the other half were encouraged to cheer for and praise their teammates. The results were surprising. The teams that communicated with positive encouragement solved the puzzle 25% faster. "When someone makes a mistake, it's easy to point out their fault," said Dr. Anna Lee, the lead researcher. "But our study proves that a supportive gesture, like a high-five or a simple 'good try,' helps people focus better and avoid feelings of embarrassment that slow them down." Based on this finding, many companies are now rethinking their internal communication systems. Instead of focusing on individual achievements, they are creating team-based reward systems. One tech firm even created a special "cheer" button on its internal social medium. Employees can press it to send a thank-you note to a colleague. This small act has been shown to fix low morale (士气) and earn greater loyalty from staff. As one employee put it, "A little praise properly given can change a whole day." Questions: 19. According to the study, what can greatly improve team performance? __________________________________________________________________ 20. How many teams were encouraged to cheer for each other in the study? __________________________________________________________________ 21. What can happen if you always point out a teammate's fault? __________________________________________________________________ 22.

Everyone makes mistakes when learning a new language, and it’s not your fault. Firstly, you should avoid hiding from this embarrassment. Instead, you can apologize to your classmates for the mistake and cheer for yourself for trying. Secondly, to pronounce properly, you could focus on practising with a language learning app that allows you to record your voice. It’s more effective than just reading silently. Remember, even a small gesture like asking your teacher for help can make a big difference. Don't let this one experience stop you. Keep going, and you will earn their respect!
