It was near his home on Kauai — a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good. Suddenly, a large shark came up under Mike and sank its teeth into Mike’s lower leg. As he struggled, the shark bit down harder. He beat the shark in the face, again and again, until the shark let him go. As Mike swam back to shore, he realized the shark had bitten his lower right leg off. Mike’s friends rushed to his aid. The doctors later told Mike that’s probably what kept him alive during the drive to the hospital. As soon as Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. Mike was unshaken. He was curious — why was he attacked? His curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around. “I watched a documentary, and I learned about the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins (鳍) alone.” He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. He also likes using his photos to spread the message about what’s happening to sharks and why it matters. “Sharks are here on earth for a very important reason, holding together the web of biodiversity, and without them, our seas cannot survive.” 5. In the doctors’ opinion, what helped Mike Coots survive? A. His quick decision to swim back. B. His struggle with the shark. C. Timely treatment by doctors. D. The help offered by his friends. 6. What does the underlined word “unshaken” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Nervous. B. Determined. C. Excited. D. Panicked. 7. What did Mike Coots do after his recovery? A. He worked hard to protect sharks. B. He was curious about many things. C. He found out why he was attacked. D. He made documentaries on sharks. 8. Which of the following words can best describe Mike Coots? A. Curious and humorous. B. Honest and confident. C. Brave and caring. D. Patient and adventurous. 【答案】5. D 6. B 7. A 8. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了迈克・库茨18岁时遭鲨鱼袭击失去一条腿，康复后他没有畏惧，反而开始研究鲨鱼，了解到人类对鲨鱼的巨大伤害后，积极投身保护鲨鱼、呼吁守护海洋生物多样性的事迹。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Mike’s friends rushed to his aid. The doctors later told Mike that’s probably what kept him alive during the drive to the hospital.(迈克的朋友们急忙赶来帮助他。后来医生告诉迈克，这或许是他在送往医院途中活下来的原因。)” 可知，医生认为朋友的帮助让迈克得以幸存。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“As soon as Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack.(医生一允许，迈克就再次开始冲浪。事实上，他第一次重返冲浪地点就在他遇袭地点附近。)”可知，迈克是毫不畏惧的，故unshaken表示“意志坚定、毫不畏惧”的。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. He also likes using his photos to spread the message about what’s happening to sharks and why it matters.(他开始与夏威夷州政府合作，助力通过鲨鱼制品禁令。他还喜欢用自己的照片宣传鲨鱼的生存现状以及保护鲨鱼的重要性。)” 可知，迈克康复后努力投身保护鲨鱼的事业。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“He beat the shark in the face, again and again, until the shark let him go.(他一次次猛击鲨鱼的脸部，直到鲨鱼放开了他。)”及第四段“He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. He also likes using his photos to spread the message about what’s happening to sharks and why it matters.(他开始与夏威夷州政府合作，助力通过鲨鱼制品禁令。他还喜欢用自己的照片宣传鲨鱼的生存现状以及保护鲨鱼的重要性。)”可知，他直面鲨鱼、奋力反抗，康复后，积极奔走保护鲨鱼、维护海洋生态，说明他既勇敢又有爱心。 C For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is obviously different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. No matter how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 9. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They want to lead the play. B. They are too shy to express themselves. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are competing against each other. 10. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules. 11. What is the function of the quoted (引用的) statements in paragraph 4? A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts. C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons. 12. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children C. How Toddlers Learn Social Skills D. How to Communicate with Your Kid 【答案】9. C 10. D 11. A 12. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍幼儿期是建立友谊与社交能力的关键时期，讲解幼儿独特的交友方式及家长引导孩子学习社交技巧的方法。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(哥伦布市俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，幼儿在玩耍时表达“我喜欢你”的方式，往往是模仿玩伴的行为。)”可知，幼儿模仿玩伴行为，代表他们喜欢自己的玩伴。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are.(幼儿在玩耍中学习社交规则，因此家长要在孩子社交活动中主动介入，设立界限并时常提醒孩子社交规则。)”可知，作者建议家长帮助孩子理解并学会遵守社交规则。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”).(先帮孩子学会同情（“本在哭呢，是什么事让他这么难过呀？”），再引导孩子想出解决办法（“要是你把球借他玩，说不定他就好受多了。”）。)”可知，本段引用的语句是为家长提供具体沟通示例，用来举例说明如何引导孩子。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.(一起玩耍有助于幼儿练习友善、分享、合作等社交行为。)”以及后文介绍幼儿交友特点、家长引导方法可知，文章围绕幼儿如何学习社交技巧展开论述，适合作为标题的是“幼儿如何学习社交技能”。 D Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people enjoy these classics in online video series. According to a 2023 report by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in fleeting (短暂的) moments. “I watch them on the subway, in a queue or before bed. Short videos combine text, images and expressions, providing a better experience than just reading text alone,” a man surnamed Yang told Xinhua. The fearsome length and complexity (复杂性) of classics are also reasons why some people, especially teenagers, are turning to literature vloggers (video bloggers) for help. A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. It explores themes like family, society and human nature. However, these very qualities make the novel challenging for some students, who find it boring or even sleep-inducing (困倦的). “There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyan from Hubei. “Some vloggers use a mind map to clearly show their relationship.” While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and concerns. For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey in which people form a personal connection with the text, not just absorbing facts. “Books that inspire my imagination, like fantasy adventures and historical stories, demand a deeper connection. Videos, although convenient, can’t fully present the small details of a well-written story,” said Zhang. Wang Hongjie, an 18-year-old girl, from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 13. Why do more people turn to short videos for classic literature? A. Short videos save time and offer a better reading experience. B. Classic books are often too out-of-date to be popular. C. They’re not interested in reading independently. D. Video platforms provide more book-related content. 14. What makes A Dream of Red Mansions challenging for some students? A. Its detailed descriptions and social qualities. B. Its focus on ancient social culture in China. C. Its elegant language and various characters. D. Its unique writing features and target readers. 15. What can be inferred about Wang Hongjie from the last paragraph? A. She thinks videos help readers understand classics better. B. She disagrees with Zhang Boren’s opinion on videos. C. She suggests readers watch videos for a deeper connection. D. She believes reading independently is a skill worth keeping. 16. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Update” the Videos B. “Watch” the Classics C. “Read” Literature D. “Play” with Vlog 【答案】13. A 14. C 15. D 16. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了现在越来越多的人通过在线视频系列来欣赏经典文学作品的现象及不同看法。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in fleeting (短暂的) moments. “I watch them on the subway, in a queue or before bed. Short videos combine text, images and expressions, providing a better experience than just reading text alone,” a man surnamed Yang told Xinhua.(随着人们在竞争激烈的社会环境中变得越来越忙碌，短视频中提供的简短文学解释使一些人能够在转瞬即逝的时刻从全新的角度体验故事。一位姓杨的男子告诉新华社：“我在地铁上、排队时或睡觉前看它们。短视频结合了文字、图像和表情，比单纯阅读文字提供了更好的体验。”)”可知，越来越多的人求助于短视频来欣赏经典文学是因为短视频节省时间，并提供更好的阅读体验。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. It explores themes like family, society and human nature. However, these very qualities make the novel challenging for some students, who find it boring or even sleep-inducing (困倦的). “There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyan from Hubei.(《红楼梦》以其对中国社会的详细描述、丰富多彩的人物和富有诗意的语言而闻名。它探讨了家庭、社会和人性等主题。然而，正是这些特点使得这部小说对一些学生来说具有挑战性，他们觉得它很无聊，甚至让人昏昏欲睡。来自湖北的12岁少年邵新言说：“小说里有那么多人物，这让我很困惑。”)”可知，让《红楼梦》对一些学生来说具有挑战性的是它优美的语言和各种各样的人物。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wang Hongjie, an 18-year-old girl, from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.”(来自四川的18岁女孩王红洁也表示同意，她说：“这可能会降低读者独立阅读和深入思考的能力。”)”可推知，王红洁认为独立阅读是一项值得保持的技能。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people enjoy these classics in online video series.(经典是文学世界的瑰宝。多年来，人们阅读它们以获取知识。但现在，越来越多的人喜欢在网络视频系列中欣赏这些经典作品)”结合文章主要说明了现在越来越多的人通过在线视频系列来欣赏经典文学作品的现象及不同看法。可知，B选项““观看”经典”最符合文章标题。 E The search for beauty lasts centuries and goes across continents. Paintings of Egyptians, dating back over 4,000 years, show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者). 17. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To demonstrate the idea of beauty has changed over time. B. To argue beauty standards vary across different cultures. C. To show the desire to look good is common across time and place. D. To describe different ways people have to make themselves attractive. 18. In paragraph 3, the babies in the study _______. A. were rated for their appearance B. preferred women with larger eyes C. were shown photos of college students D. could tell attractive and unattractive faces apart 19. We can learn from the passage that _______. A. the standards of beauty vary as people grow up B. the search for beauty makes people powerful C. the standards for beauty come from scientific researches alone D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty C. The Varieties of Beauty D. The History of Beauty 【答案】17. C 18. D 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了人类对美的追求跨越时空，美的标准因文化而异，难以明确定义。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The search for beauty lasts centuries and goes across continents. Paintings of Egyptians, dating back over 4,000 years, show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.(对美的追求持续了几个世纪，跨越了各大洲。可以追溯到4000多年前的埃及绘画显示，男女都涂指甲油和化妆。在18世纪的法国，富有的贵族戴着长长的白色假发，使自己有吸引力。今天，人们继续在他们的外表上投入大量的时间和金钱)”可知，第一段的目的是展示无论何时何地，人们都希望自己看起来好看。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.(在一组研究中，给六个月大的婴儿看了一系列照片。照片上的面孔由一群大学生对其吸引力进行了评分。在研究中，婴儿花在看有吸引力的面孔上的时间比没有吸引力的面孔上的时间多)”可知，在这项研究中，婴儿能够区分有吸引力的面孔和没有吸引力的面孔。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.(不是每个人的想法都一样。在一种文化中被认为有吸引力的东西在另一种文化中可能不是。看看大多数西方时尚杂志：杂志上的女性都很瘦，但这是全世界女性心目中的“完美”身材吗？科学家的答案是否定的；什么是美丽的，是主观的，在世界各地各不相同。他们发现，秘鲁东南部的原住民更喜欢在西方文化中被认为超重的体型)”可推知，对美的理解植根于文化背景。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者).(无论好坏，美在我们的生活中都扮演着重要的角色。但是，要确切地描述是什么使一个人对另一个人有吸引力是极其困难的。尽管确实有一些身体特征被认为是普遍有吸引力的，但美丽并不总是遵循单一、统一的标准，这也是事实。正如俗话所说，情人眼里出西施)”结合文章主要讲述了人类对美的追求跨越时空，美的标准因文化而异，难以明确定义。可知，B选项“美的奥秘”最符合文章标题。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文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。 Want to find out how you can learn a new language quickly, without the need for expensive classes or language learning software? ____21____ You just need to be willing to work hard and not be afraid to make mistakes.

The following specific tips may help you.(你只需要肯下功夫，不要害怕犯错。以下具体提示可能对您有所帮助)”阐述学语言只需要努力、不惧犯错。空处承上启下，说明语言学习无特殊捷径。所以B项“真的没有什么秘密。”符合语境。 【22题详解】 下文“Talking to a person who speaks your target language as their mother tongue will help you feel more motivated than staring at a book.(和一个把你的目标语言作为母语的人交谈，比盯着书更能让你感到有动力)”说明与母语者交流的重要性。空处位于段首，引出下文，说明要与母语者建立联系。所以D项“与母语者建立联系”符合语境。 【23题详解】 上文“But when they say five years, they probably mean that they studied the language for only a couple of hours a week over that entire time period.(但是当他们说五年的时候，他们可能意味着在整个这段时间里，他们每周只学习几个小时的语言)”说明有些人声称学习了五年语言但实际上并不流利的原因。下文“if you want to learn a new language successfully, you’re going to have to study the language every day.(如果你想成功学习一门新语言，你必须每天学习这门语言)”说明学语言需要每日坚持。空处衔接前后文，起到点明关键、总结铺垫的作用。所以A项“让我们把一件事弄清楚。”符合语境，引出下文要强调的学习语言需要每天坚持的观点。 【24题详解】 上文“Carrying a dictionary with you will save you a lot of time.(随身携带一本字典会为你节省很多时间)”说明了随身携带字典的好处。空后介绍词典的两种形式，承接上文内容。空处为顺接总结，呼吁读者配备词典。所以C项“所以尽快准备一本吧！”符合语境。 【25题详解】 上文“Possibly the easiest thing you can do is watch television shows or movies in the language you are trying to learn.(也许你能做的最简单的事情就是用你想学的语言看电视剧或电影)”说明了通过看电视剧或电影来学习语言的方法。下文“Besides, download podcasts or tune in to radio stations in your chosen language.(此外，下载播客或收听所选语言的广播电台)”介绍收听外语播客和广播。空处补充阅读与书写的学习方式，贴合段落中心。所以G项“你还应该尝试用你的新语言进行阅读和写作。”符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白出的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Ram received an automobile as a birthday present.

It was near his home on Kauai — a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good. Suddenly, a large shark came up under Mike and sank its teeth into Mike’s lower leg. As he struggled, the shark bit down harder. He beat the shark in the face, again and again, until the shark let him go. As Mike swam back to shore, he realized the shark had bitten his lower right leg off. Mike’s friends rushed to his aid. The doctors later told Mike that’s probably what kept him alive during the drive to the hospital. As soon as Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. Mike was unshaken. He was curious — why was he attacked? His curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around. “I watched a documentary, and I learned about the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins (鳍) alone.” He began working with the Hawaii state government to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. He also likes using his photos to spread the message about what’s happening to sharks and why it matters. “Sharks are here on earth for a very important reason, holding together the web of biodiversity, and without them, our seas cannot survive.” 5. In the doctors’ opinion, what helped Mike Coots survive? A. His quick decision to swim back. B. His struggle with the shark. C. Timely treatment by doctors. D. The help offered by his friends. 6. What does the underlined word “unshaken” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Nervous. B. Determined. C. Excited. D. Panicked. 7. What did Mike Coots do after his recovery? A. He worked hard to protect sharks. B. He was curious about many things. C. He found out why he was attacked. D. He made documentaries on sharks. 8. Which of the following words can best describe Mike Coots? A. Curious and humorous. B. Honest and confident. C. Brave and caring. D. Patient and adventurous. C For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is obviously different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. No matter how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), and then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 9. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A. They want to lead the play. B. They are too shy to express themselves. C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are competing against each other. 10. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates. C. Play together with them. D.

How to Communicate with Your Kid D Classics are the gems (宝石) of the literary world. For years, people have read them to gain knowledge. But now, an increasing number of people enjoy these classics in online video series. According to a 2023 report by the Chinese short-video platform Douyin, the views for book-related videos jumped by 65.17 percent year-on-year. As people become busier in competitive social environments, the brief literary explanations provided in short videos enable some to experience stories from a fresh perspective in fleeting (短暂的) moments. “I watch them on the subway, in a queue or before bed. Short videos combine text, images and expressions, providing a better experience than just reading text alone,” a man surnamed Yang told Xinhua. The fearsome length and complexity (复杂性) of classics are also reasons why some people, especially teenagers, are turning to literature vloggers (video bloggers) for help. A Dream of Red Mansions is well-known for its detailed description of Chinese society, colorful characters and poetic language. It explores themes like family, society and human nature. However, these very qualities make the novel challenging for some students, who find it boring or even sleep-inducing (困倦的). “There are so many characters in the novel, which confused me a lot,” said 12-year-old Shao Xinyan from Hubei. “Some vloggers use a mind map to clearly show their relationship.” While reading with videos helps many people, some express different opinions and concerns. For Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing, reading is a journey in which people form a personal connection with the text, not just absorbing facts. “Books that inspire my imagination, like fantasy adventures and historical stories, demand a deeper connection. Videos, although convenient, can’t fully present the small details of a well-written story,” said Zhang. Wang Hongjie, an 18-year-old girl, from Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability to read independently and think deeply.” 13. Why do more people turn to short videos for classic literature? A. Short videos save time and offer a better reading experience. B. Classic books are often too out-of-date to be popular. C. They’re not interested in reading independently. D. Video platforms provide more book-related content. 14. What makes A Dream of Red Mansions challenging for some students? A. Its detailed descriptions and social qualities. B. Its focus on ancient social culture in China. C. Its elegant language and various characters. D. Its unique writing features and target readers. 15. What can be inferred about Wang Hongjie from the last paragraph? A. She thinks videos help readers understand classics better. B. She disagrees with Zhang Boren’s opinion on videos. C. She suggests readers watch videos for a deeper connection. D. She believes reading independently is a skill worth keeping. 16. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Update” the Videos B. “Watch” the Classics C. “Read” Literature D. “Play” with Vlog E The search for beauty lasts centuries and goes across continents. Paintings of Egyptians, dating back over 4,000 years, show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者). 17. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To demonstrate the idea of beauty has changed over time. B. To argue beauty standards vary across different cultures. C. To show the desire to look good is common across time and place. D. To describe different ways people have to make themselves attractive. 18. In paragraph 3, the babies in the study _______. A. were rated for their appearance B. preferred women with larger eyes C. were shown photos of college students D. could tell attractive and unattractive faces apart 19. We can learn from the passage that _______. A. the standards of beauty vary as people grow up B. the search for beauty makes people powerful C. the standards for beauty come from scientific researches alone D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty C. The Varieties of Beauty D. The History of Beauty 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文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。 Want to find out how you can learn a new language quickly, without the need for expensive classes or language learning software? ____21____ You just need to be willing to work hard and not be afraid to make mistakes.
