But who says you must choose between studying and working out? This study break exercise routine is all you need to stay on track for your fitness goals. Better yet, it’s just 5 minutes long. How It Works For every hour of studying, take a 5-minute break to get up and move your body. This routine is filled with light cardio, bodyweight exercises, and dynamic stretches to wake your body up and prepare it for your next period of studying. This routine may be short but do it enough times throughout the day and the calories will add up! Routine Details 5 Minute Study Break Exercise Add Mindfulness Although you will benefit regardless of how well you perform the exercises, adding mindfulness can make it even more effective:  Pay Attention: Notice the sensations in your body as you move and stretch.  Breathe: Match movements to your breath — breathe in as you prepare, breathe out as you stretch or apply force.  Be Gentle: Don’t force stretches. Move within a comfortable range. Focusing on your body for these few minutes helps calm the mind. 1. Which two activities share the same duration? A. Squats and Upper Back Stretch. B. Jumping Jacks and Neck Circles. C. Shoulder Rolls and Reach Overs. D. Knee March and Hamstring Hang. 2. What is highly recommended to learn the moves? A. Sending a feedback email. B. Watching a guided video. C. Seeking a workout partner. D. Calling a fitness center. 3. Which can improve the workout results? A. Taking deep breaths in between. B. Rushing through the entire routine. C. Pushing each move to the maximum. D. Pairing movement with mental focus. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了适合期中期末备考期间的5分钟学习间隙锻炼计划，包括运作方式、细节及提升效果的正念建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表可知，Jumping Jacks的时常为30秒，Neck Circles的时长也为30秒。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中的“Follow our demonstration on fitness YOUTUBE CHANNEL(关注我们的健身YouTube频道，查看示范内容)”可知，文章建议观看指导视频来学习这些动作。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Although you will benefit regardless of how well you perform the exercises, adding mindfulness can make it even more effective (尽管无论你动作完成得如何都会有所收获，但加入正念能让锻炼效果更佳)”及下文正念建议可知，将动作与精神专注结合能提升锻炼效果。故选D项。 B In first grade, I took a spelling test with the word “of” on it. O-F. “Of.” Every student that day spelled the word correctly except Malcolm, the slowest in the class. He had spelled the word U-V. “Uv.” I remember thinking “Geez, how silly is this kid?” But as I sat there, I realized that spelling “of” with a U and a V made a lot more sense than with an O and an F, which were corresponding to sounds nothing to do with the word “of”. Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled in this completely illogical way? The best answer I could come up with at the time was: That’s just the way it is, that’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I have to spell the word to get it right and be a good student. So I better just shut up, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this little realization was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. All of us in the class that day so quietly and without question accepted a truth because it was backed by authority and tradition. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as silly, and not the spelling. The spelling of “of” may not be a worthy battle to build a life around, but this memory helped me become aware of the fact that the world is a place that comes with a lot of strange rules that we often fail to question. As a teenager, I called these rules “uvisms”. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations and assumptions pressed on me by my surroundings. Many of them are there for good reasons. Many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of” and the necessity for each generation to question the assumptions of the previous. 4. What did the author think of Malcolm’s spelling afterwards? A. Reasonable. B. Childish. C. Creative. D. Casual. 5. What is the hidden reason for the author accepting the standard spelling? A. Desire to outsmart others. B. Preference for logical spelling. C. Obedience to established rules. D. Determination to uphold the truth. 6. What does the term “uvisms” mainly refer to? A. Newly-generated creative concepts. B. Widely-accepted illogical practices. C. Intensely-debated spelling patterns. D. Deeply-rooted childhood memories. 7. Which does the author try to advocate in the last paragraph? A. Exploring the unknown. B. Tolerating minor mistakes. C. Developing critical thinking. D. Following the extraordinary. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，一年级时，同学Malcolm将单词of拼写成uv，而作者却发现这种拼法其实更符合发音逻辑的经历；由此作者将这类不合理却被广泛认可的规则称为uvisms；最后作者倡导每一代人都应该对前人的固有认知保持质疑精神。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But as I sat there, I realized that spelling of with a U and a V made a lot more sense than with an O and an F, which were corresponding to sounds nothing to do with the word of (但当我坐在那里时，我意识到用U和V拼写of这个词，比用O和F要合理得多，因为O和F的发音与of这个词毫无关系)”可知，作者后来认为Malcolm的拼写是合理的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The best answer I could come up with at the time was: That’s just the way it is, that’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I have to spell the word to get it right and be a good student (当时我能想到的最好答案是：事情本来就是这样的，这是大人们告诉我的真相，我必须这样拼写才能写对，才能成为一个好学生)”以及第三段“All of us in the class that day so quietly and without question accepted a truth because it was backed by authority and tradition (那天班上的所有人都默默地、毫无质疑地接受了一个事实，因为它有权威和传统作为支撑)”可知，作者接受标准拼法的潜在原因是服从既定的规则。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The spelling of “of” may not be a worthy battle to build a life around, but this memory helped me become aware of the fact that the world is a place that comes with a lot of strange rules that we often fail to question. As a teenager, I called these rules “uvisms”(拼写“of”可能不是一场值得为之奋斗的事情，但这段记忆让我意识到，这个世界有很多奇怪的规则，我们经常无法质疑。十几岁时，我把这些规则称为“uvisms”)”可知，uvisms指的是那些被广泛接受但并不合理的惯例。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Many of them are there for good reasons. Many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word of and the necessity for each generation to question the assumptions of the previous (这些规则中有许多存在是有充分理由的，也有许多并非如此。你不必遵守所有规则。我认同将of拼错的做法，也认为每一代人都有必要去质疑前人的固有认知)”可知，作者想要倡导的是培养批判性思维，敢于质疑既定规则。故选C。 C In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control. Digital monitoring-based technologies enable parents to restrict, monitor or track children’s online activities. Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed. It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit. It has been co-developed with families and children by Oxford researchers over several years in response to increasing concerns from families about the risks associated with extensive use of the digital technologies. The toolkit has several key features. By providing families with insights into datafication risks, i. e. how children’s data may be collected and processed, and used to affect what they see online, the toolkit enables families to make informed decisions about their online activities. Through both a digital and physical component, and the provision of interactive activities and discussion sheets, the toolkit facilitates meaningful conversations between children and parents, promoting a deeper understanding of digital privacy and ethics (道德) . By providing worksheets that guide conversations and interactions with the toolkit among family members, with both children and parents involved in the learning process, the toolkit strengthens the family bonds and promotes collective problem-solving. By assessing the toolkit with 17 families, involving 23 children aged 10-14, we found positive indications for our approach to encouraging active family engagement, instead of focusing on controls and monitoring. We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores. 8. What do we know about digital monitoring-based technologies? A. They are unfriendly to parents. B. They need necessary improvement. C. They strengthen family relationship. D. They offer parents a clear guidance. 9. What is special about the toolkit? A. It safeguards children’s online privacy. B. It promotes parent-child communication. C. It places strict control on children’s data. D. It enables children to think independently. 10. What may the researchers do next? A. To better the toolkit. B. To contact app stores. C. To target the market. D. To seek professional advice. 11. What may be the best title? A. A Popular Digital Monitoring-based App B. Children’s Exposure to Datafication Risks C. Families’ Change in Attitude to Datafication D. An Innovative Approach to Digital Parenting 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款新研发的KOALA Hero Toolkit 工具包。该工具包促进儿童和家长之间有意义的对话和互动，加强了家庭纽带，同时也避免了一些数据化风险。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Digital monitoring-based technologies enable parents to restrict, monitor or track children’s online activities. Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed.(基于数字监控的技术使家长能够限制、监控或跟踪孩子的在线活动。Life 360、Google Family Link和Apple Maps等流行应用程序非常普遍。然而，这些方法在让孩子们远离数字空间的边界或减少屏幕时间使用方面效果有限。与此同时，与这些方法相关的风险也出现了，例如它们可能会影响家庭信任关系或阻碍儿童自我调节技能的发展。随着现代家庭越来越难以处理孩子与数字技术的关系，以及缺乏有效和明确的指导，迫切需要新的方法)”可知，基于数字监控的技术的效果有限，并出现了相关的风险，需要必要的改进。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Through both a digital and physical component, and the provision of interactive activities and discussion sheets, the toolkit facilitates meaningful conversations between children and parents, promoting a deeper understanding of digital privacy and ethics (道德) . By providing worksheets that guide conversations and interactions with the toolkit among family members, with both children and parents involved in the learning process, the toolkit strengthens the family bonds and promotes collective problem-solving.(通过数字和物理组件，以及提供互动活动和讨论表，该工具包促进了儿童和家长之间有意义的对话，促进了对数字隐私和道德的更深入理解。通过提供工作表，指导家庭成员之间以及儿童和家长参与学习过程时与工具包的对话和互动，工具包加强了家庭联系，促进了集体解决问题)”可知，该工具包促进了儿童和家长之间有意义的对话，加强了家庭联系，即该工具包可以促进亲子沟通。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores.(我们希望在流行的应用商店上分享工具包之前，使用更大的样本，使其更具适应性)”可推知，研究人员接下来可能会使用更大的样本，使其更具适应性，进一步完善工具包。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control.(在当今的数字时代，儿童面临着许多数据化风险，包括有害的分析、微目标和行为控制)”、第三段“It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit.(正是出于这个原因，牛津大学马丁伦理网络和数据架构项目的计算机科学研究人员开发了KOALA Hero Toolkit工具包)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了数字时代儿童面临的数据化风险，研究人员开发了KOALAHero Toolkit工具包，旨在帮助家庭应对数字技术所带来的风险，并促进家庭成员之间的积极互动，所以“一种创新的数字化家庭教育方式”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D We often find ourselves struggling to control our thoughts, but why is it so hard to stop our minds wandering? Research found our thoughts are less focused and under less control than we realize. In a 1996 study, participants reported more than 4,000 thoughts daily, each lasting no more than five seconds. In a 1987 study, people regarded 22% of their thoughts as strange, unacceptable or wrong. Then, is it possible to avoid unwanted thoughts, whether it’s an upcoming exam or an unpleasant conversation? The answer is: maybe. In a 2022 study, the researchers showed paid volunteers a series of slides displaying different nouns. Each noun was repeated on five different slides. As they viewed the slides, the participants wrote down a word they associated with each given noun — for example, “road” in response to “car.” Only the experimental group were told they wouldn’t get paid for repeated words. With this method, the researchers sought to create a situation when someone experiences unwanted thoughts. When the experimental group saw each noun for a second time, they took longer than the control group to come up with a new association, suggesting their first response popped into their mind before they replaced it. However, they got quicker each time they viewed the same slide, indicating that their association between the given word and their first response — the thought they were trying to avoid — was weakening. “We didn’t find evidence that people can entirely avoid unwanted thoughts,” said research leader Isaac Fradkin. “But the results suggest that practice can help people get better.” Not everyone agrees that a slideshow of random words can tell how people stop emotional thoughts. Other research suggests that avoiding thoughts can backfire. When we do it, we’re sending our brains a message. This effort labels them as something to be feared, making them more powerful. In the end, it might make more sense to take a mindful approach. “We can allow these thoughts to just be in our minds, not holding onto them too tightly and not trying to fight them,” said Fradkin. 12. What can we learn about our thoughts from paragraph 1? A. Most of our thoughts are valueless. B. We tend to focus more on negative thoughts. C. Our thoughts can occur and disappear easily. D. We can’t keep our thoughts for over five seconds. 13. Why were the experimental group told not to repeat the related words? A. To collect more associations. B. To make the task more challenging. C. To create a competitive atmosphere. D. To set up a desired experimental environment. 14. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 5? A. Have an opposite effect. B. Take back the wrong message. C. Reveal hidden problems. D. Cause a mental breakdown. 15. What does Fradkin advise us to do with unwanted thoughts? A. Drive them away. B. Try to understand them. C. Leave them alone. D. Learn to control them. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们经常发现自己很难控制自己的思想，但为什么要阻止我们的思想游离那么难呢？研究发现，我们的思想比我们意识到的更不集中，更不受控制。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Research found our thoughts are less focused and under less control than we realize. In a 1996 study, participants reported more than 4,000 thoughts daily, each lasting no more than five seconds. In a 1987 study, people regarded 22% of their thoughts as strange, unacceptable or wrong. Then, is it possible to avoid unwanted thoughts, whether it’s an upcoming exam or an unpleasant conversation? The answer is: maybe.”（研究发现，我们的思想比我们意识到的更不集中，更不受控制。在1996年的一项研究中，参与者报告了每天超过4000个想法，每个想法持续时间不超过5秒钟。在1987年的一项研究中，人们认为自己22%的想法是奇怪的、不可接受的或错误的。然后，是否有可能避免不想要的想法，无论是即将到来的考试还是不愉快的谈话？答案是：也许吧。）可推知，从第一段我们可以了解到我们的思想很容易产生也很容易消失。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As they viewed the slides, the participants wrote down a word they associated with each given noun — for example, “road” in response to “car.” Only the experimental group were told they wouldn’t get paid for repeated words. With this method, the researchers sought to create a situation when someone experiences unwanted thoughts.”（当他们观看幻灯片时，参与者写下与每个给定名词相关的单词——例如，“汽车”对应“道路”。只有实验组被告知，重复的单词不会得到报酬。通过这种方法，研究人员试图创造一种情境，让人们产生不想要的想法。）可知，实验组被告知不要重复相关单词是为了建立理想的实验环境。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Not everyone agrees that a slideshow of random words can tell how people stop emotional thoughts.”（并不是每个人都同意随机单词的幻灯片可以告诉人们如何停止情绪化的想法。）以及“When we do it, we’re sending our brains a message. This effort labels them as something to be feared, making them more powerful.”（当我们这么做的时候，我们是在向大脑传递一个信息。这种努力给它们贴上了可怕的标签，使它们更加强大。）可推知，其他研究表明，避免思考可能会适得其反，故可猜测划线单词backfire为“适得其反”的意思，结合选项A项Have an opposite effect“产生相反的效果”意思一致。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, it might make more sense to take a mindful approach. “We can allow these thoughts to just be in our minds, not holding onto them too tightly and not trying to fight them,” said Fradkin.”（最后，采取一种有意识的方法可能更有意义。弗拉德金说:“我们可以允许这些想法在我们的脑海里存在，不要把它们抓得太紧，也不要试图与它们抗争。”）可推知，弗拉德金建议我们对于处理不想要的想法可以不管它们。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___16___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___17___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___18___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___19___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___20___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D. Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions. E. It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming. F. By making data-dependent decisions, farmers can improve productivity. G. In essence, PA isn’t just about growing more; it’s about growing smarter. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍精准农业作为应对粮食与环境挑战的方案，其运作方式、实例、挑战及应对办法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution.(精准农业成为一种变革性解决方案)”以及下文“To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting.(具体来说，它利用数字工具和实时数据来定制从种植到收获的农业操作)”可知，此处应解释精准农业的运作方式，E选项“It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming.(它利用先进技术优化农业的各个方面)”中的advanced technologies呼应下文digital tools，every aspect of farming对应from planting to harvesting，起到承上启下作用，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones.(无人机飞越田野，拍摄高分辨率照片并收集多种波长的光线数据。长势较弱的植物与健康植物在光反射上有明显差异)”以及下文“They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields.(他们可以只在需要的地方施肥、浇水或喷洒农药，而不是在田里随机操作)”可知，此处应体现农民利用无人机收集的信息做决策，D选项“Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions.(利用这些信息，农民可以做出针对性决策)”中的the information指代上文无人机收集的数据，focused decisions呼应下文精准操作，符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems.(设备和软件的高昂前期成本可能会让小规模农民望而却步，尤其是在低收入地区。随着更多农业操作依赖互联数字系统，数据隐私问题也随之出现)”可知，此处应引出精准农业存在的问题，A选项“PA is not without its challenges.(精准农业并非没有挑战)”直接点出主题，总领下文的成本和隐私问题，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文提出的成本和隐私挑战，以及下文“Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion.

The custom traces its origins to the ancient spring platter.

Over time, those scattered seasonal flavors were gathered into a single thin pancake — something that could be wrapped, held and ____43____ (bite) into. In the writing of ____44____ (celebrate) author Wang Zengqi, the beauty of a spring pancake lies in its restraint.

I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me. We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me. I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes. He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore. I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way. Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 When others were complaining, my father stood up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When others were complaining, my father stood up. Dressed in his repairman’s suit, he had jumped off the school bus without hesitation before I could stop him. “Another chance to be laughed at.” I thought to myself. He examined the bus carefully, using his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. It was quite a long time before he was back on the bus again, his hands smeared with oil but a broad smile on his face. He told the driver that there was something was wrong with the engine, but now it was ok. The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. All the parents thumbed up to show their appreciation and those who once mocked me even smiled at me with admiration. I hugged my father tightly for a minute. Only then did I feel proud though he still wore those plain clothes. I finally understood one can’t be judged by what he or she wears. I no longer envy others having a father dressed smartly. I love my father, who teaches the profound truth: It is one’s character, not what one wears that really matters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对父亲态度的转变为线索展开，讲述了作者觉得父亲的穿着总让他感到很尴尬，甚至后悔告诉父母学校旅行的事，因为父亲在学校旅行时依旧穿着让我觉得受尽嘲笑的修理工的衣服，但我父亲没能读懂我的心思，他非常高兴，一路上吹着口哨。途中校车出了故障，多亏了我修理工的父亲这一切才得到解决，这一切让我重新认识到我们评判一个人时不能仅仅看他的衣着，更重要的是他的品行。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当别人在抱怨时，我父亲站了起来。”可知，第一段可描写父亲修理车的过程以及我和车上其他人的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“校车重新启动，每个人都欢呼起来。”可知，第二段可描写父亲将车修理以后其他人的反应以及我对父亲的态度的转变以及我的感悟。 2.续写线索：父亲主动站出来修车——其他人的反应、我的反应——车修好——其他人对父亲的赞赏——我态度的转变——我的感悟。 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①穿着：be dressed in/be wearing ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③嘲笑：mock/laugh at/make fun of 情感类 ①紧紧地：tightly/firmly ②潇洒地：smartly/nicely/beautifully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He examined the bus carefully, using his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket.

O-F. “Of.” Every student that day spelled the word correctly except Malcolm, the slowest in the class. He had spelled the word U-V. “Uv.” I remember thinking “Geez, how silly is this kid?” But as I sat there, I realized that spelling “of” with a U and a V made a lot more sense than with an O and an F, which were corresponding to sounds nothing to do with the word “of”. Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled in this completely illogical way? The best answer I could come up with at the time was: That’s just the way it is, that’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I have to spell the word to get it right and be a good student. So I better just shut up, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this little realization was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. All of us in the class that day so quietly and without question accepted a truth because it was backed by authority and tradition. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as silly, and not the spelling. The spelling of “of” may not be a worthy battle to build a life around, but this memory helped me become aware of the fact that the world is a place that comes with a lot of strange rules that we often fail to question. As a teenager, I called these rules “uvisms”. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations and assumptions pressed on me by my surroundings. Many of them are there for good reasons. Many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of” and the necessity for each generation to question the assumptions of the previous. 4. What did the author think of Malcolm’s spelling afterwards? A. Reasonable. B. Childish. C. Creative. D. Casual. 5. What is the hidden reason for the author accepting the standard spelling? A. Desire to outsmart others. B. Preference for logical spelling. C. Obedience to established rules. D. Determination to uphold the truth. 6. What does the term “uvisms” mainly refer to? A. Newly-generated creative concepts. B. Widely-accepted illogical practices. C. Intensely-debated spelling patterns. D. Deeply-rooted childhood memories. 7. Which does the author try to advocate in the last paragraph? A. Exploring the unknown. B. Tolerating minor mistakes. C. Developing critical thinking. D. Following the extraordinary. C In today’s digital age, children are exposed to a number of datafication (数据化) risks, including harmful profiling, micro-targeting and behavioural control. Digital monitoring-based technologies enable parents to restrict, monitor or track children’s online activities. Popular apps such as Life 360, Google Family Link and Apple Maps, are widespread. However, such approaches have limited effectiveness in keeping children out of the boundaries of the digital space or reducing screen time usage. Meanwhile, the risks associated with these approaches emerge, such as their potential to affect family trust relationships or prevent the development of children’s self-regulation skills. With modern families increasingly struggling with their children’s relationship with digital technologies and lack of effective and clear guidance for them, new approaches are urgently needed. It is for this reason that Computer Science researchers working on the Oxford Martin Programme on Ethical Web and Data Architectures developed the KOALA Hero Toolkit. It has been co-developed with families and children by Oxford researchers over several years in response to increasing concerns from families about the risks associated with extensive use of the digital technologies. The toolkit has several key features. By providing families with insights into datafication risks, i. e. how children’s data may be collected and processed, and used to affect what they see online, the toolkit enables families to make informed decisions about their online activities. Through both a digital and physical component, and the provision of interactive activities and discussion sheets, the toolkit facilitates meaningful conversations between children and parents, promoting a deeper understanding of digital privacy and ethics (道德) . By providing worksheets that guide conversations and interactions with the toolkit among family members, with both children and parents involved in the learning process, the toolkit strengthens the family bonds and promotes collective problem-solving. By assessing the toolkit with 17 families, involving 23 children aged 10-14, we found positive indications for our approach to encouraging active family engagement, instead of focusing on controls and monitoring. We hope to work with a larger sample to make it more adaptable before sharing the toolkit on popular app stores. 8. What do we know about digital monitoring-based technologies? A. They are unfriendly to parents. B. They need necessary improvement. C. They strengthen family relationship. D. They offer parents a clear guidance. 9. What is special about the toolkit? A. It safeguards children’s online privacy. B. It promotes parent-child communication. C. It places strict control on children’s data. D. It enables children to think independently. 10. What may the researchers do next? A. To better the toolkit. B. To contact app stores. C. To target the market. D. To seek professional advice. 11. What may be the best title? A. A Popular Digital Monitoring-based App B. Children’s Exposure to Datafication Risks C. Families’ Change in Attitude to Datafication D. An Innovative Approach to Digital Parenting D We often find ourselves struggling to control our thoughts, but why is it so hard to stop our minds wandering? Research found our thoughts are less focused and under less control than we realize. In a 1996 study, participants reported more than 4,000 thoughts daily, each lasting no more than five seconds. In a 1987 study, people regarded 22% of their thoughts as strange, unacceptable or wrong. Then, is it possible to avoid unwanted thoughts, whether it’s an upcoming exam or an unpleasant conversation? The answer is: maybe. In a 2022 study, the researchers showed paid volunteers a series of slides displaying different nouns. Each noun was repeated on five different slides. As they viewed the slides, the participants wrote down a word they associated with each given noun — for example, “road” in response to “car.” Only the experimental group were told they wouldn’t get paid for repeated words. With this method, the researchers sought to create a situation when someone experiences unwanted thoughts. When the experimental group saw each noun for a second time, they took longer than the control group to come up with a new association, suggesting their first response popped into their mind before they replaced it. However, they got quicker each time they viewed the same slide, indicating that their association between the given word and their first response — the thought they were trying to avoid — was weakening. “We didn’t find evidence that people can entirely avoid unwanted thoughts,” said research leader Isaac Fradkin. “But the results suggest that practice can help people get better.” Not everyone agrees that a slideshow of random words can tell how people stop emotional thoughts. Other research suggests that avoiding thoughts can backfire. When we do it, we’re sending our brains a message. This effort labels them as something to be feared, making them more powerful. In the end, it might make more sense to take a mindful approach. “We can allow these thoughts to just be in our minds, not holding onto them too tightly and not trying to fight them,” said Fradkin. 12. What can we learn about our thoughts from paragraph 1? A. Most of our thoughts are valueless. B. We tend to focus more on negative thoughts. C. Our thoughts can occur and disappear easily. D.

To create a competitive atmosphere. D. To set up a desired experimental environment. 14. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 5? A. Have an opposite effect. B. Take back the wrong message. C. Reveal hidden problems. D. Cause a mental breakdown. 15. What does Fradkin advise us to do with unwanted thoughts? A. Drive them away. B. Try to understand them. C. Leave them alone. D. Learn to control them. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___16___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___17___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___18___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___19___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___20___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D. Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions. E. It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming. F. By making data-dependent decisions, farmers can improve productivity. G. In essence, PA isn’t just about growing more; it’s about growing smarter. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One spring evening, I was incredibly worn after a long day of school.

I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me. We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me. I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes. He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore. I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way. Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 When others were complaining, my father stood up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
