At its core, media literacy means understanding how media works - who created a message, why it was made, and how it’s meant to influence the audience. Students are constantly surrounded by messages: some are helpful, others misleading. Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices. The good news? You can build media literacy into what you’re already doing, one step at a time. Use Headlines as Warm-Ups Start class with a real-world headline - ideally one related to your subject area. Ask students: ● Is this information reliable? ● Where did it come from? ● What might be missing? This five-minute routine builds awareness and can lead to great discussions. Compare Two Sources Pick two texts on the same topic but from different perspectives. This could be editorials, news articles, or video content. Ask students to compare: ● Language and tone. ● Choice of images. ● What facts are emphasized or ignored? This is a great way to teach bias (偏见) and point of view, especially in ELA or social studies. Build Visual Literacy Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting: ● What’s the message? ● How is it being communicated visually? ● Who benefits from this image? This kind of analysis helps students read beyond the text. This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically. And when they see you do it regularly, they start doing it too. 1. What is the primary purpose of teaching media literacy to students? A. To arouse their interest in media. B. To enhance their literature skills. C. To develop their critical thinking ability. D. To broaden their general media knowledge. 2. Which technique of teaching media literacy is recommended? A. Using visual aids in teaching. B. Asking students to connect two sources. C. Providing materials that include pictures. D. Having students figure out better headlines. 3. How can teachers best stimulate students’ curiosity? A. Ask routine questions. B. Show, don’t just tell. C. Reward curious students. D. Tell, don’t just watch. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要阐述了媒介素养对学生的必要性，并介绍了将媒介素养融入教学的三种具体方法，同时强调教师示范好奇心对培养学生批判性思维的重要性。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices.(教他们分析、质疑和评估媒体，为他们提供了批判性思考和做出明智选择的工具)”可知，教学生媒介素养的主要目的是培养他们的批判性思维能力。 故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章三个教学方法板块可知，Use Headlines as Warm-Ups(用标题做热身)、Compare Two Sources(对比两个信息源)、Build Visual Literacy(培养视觉素养)均为推荐的教学技巧。其中Build Visual Literacy板块明确提到“Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting(使用政治漫画、广告或照片来练习解读)”，这属于在教学中使用视觉辅助工具。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically.(这是关于教学生保持好奇心，而你只需要示范好奇心。当你说“让我们弄清楚这来自哪里”时，你正在向学生展示如何进行批判性思考。)”可知，教师通过示范而非单纯说教来激发学生的好奇心，即“展示，而不只是说教”。 故选B。 B Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects. The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot. My illiterate (不识字的) grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright. My own parents did not inspire this love. My mother was illiterate; my father, slightly educated, was too busy for encouragement. Yet I began to observe as a baby. One day, standing on the grassland, I was fascinated by the sun. A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed. At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter. Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself. 4. What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story? A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects. C. His early education background. D. The influence of his family on him. 5. How did the author’s family react to his discovery about the sunlight? A. They rejected it. B. They questioned it. C. They brushed it aside. D. They approved of it. 6. What does the description of the school mainly suggest? A. The lively classes attracted animals. B. The students lacked interest in learning. C. The animals became a threat to students. D. The environment presented barriers to learning. 7. What was the author like as a boy? A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对昆虫的热爱并非遗传于家人，而是源于幼时自发的观察与探索，即便环境简陋也未消减这份热情。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. (我将给你们讲讲我的故事，以此说明我对昆虫的热爱并非遗传自我的任何一位家人)”可推知，作者讲述家庭故事是为了表明自己对昆虫的热爱是与生俱来的，而非受家人影响。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed. (回到家，祖母只是笑了笑，其他人则哈哈大笑起来)”可知，家人对作者关于阳光的发现并未当真，只是一笑置之，没有重视。由此推知，brushed it aside“置之不理”符合这一态度。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. (这间屋子可谓是一物多用，既是教室、厨房、卧室，甚至还兼作鸡舍和猪圈。我们的学习总是被蹭腿的小猪、母鸡和它的雏鸡，或是做饭的气味所干扰)”可推知，对学校的描述主要表明学习环境十分简陋，存在诸多干扰学习的因素。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. (我被一个问题困扰：我是用嘴巴还是用眼睛感知阳光的？我张开嘴巴闭上双眼，光芒消失了；我睁开眼睛闭上嘴巴，光芒又回来了)”以及第四段中的“At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. (黄昏时分，灌木丛里传来微弱的叮当声，吸引了我。是谁在发出这样的声音？大人们都说那是狼叫，但我还是要去看一看)”可知，作者小时候充满好奇心，喜欢探索和追问。由此推知，inquiring“好奇的、爱探究的”符合其性格特点。故选A项。 C Fire kills nearly 3, 700 Americans yearly and destroys $23 billion in property, often because traditional smoke detectors fail to warn residents timely — leaving little time to escape or call for help. Now, NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s NYU Fire Research Group has developed an AI system to boost fire safety, using existing security cameras to detect fires and smoke in real time. Published in IEEE Internet of Things, the system analyzes video footage, identifying fires in 0.016 seconds per frame — faster than a human blink (眨眼) — to give vital extra minutes for evacuation and emergency response. Unlike conventional detectors, which need heavy smoke buildup and close proximity to activate, it spots early-stage fires via video alone, even before flames spread widely. Concerning statistics highlight the urgent need: 11% of residential fire deaths happen where detectors failed — either due to malfunction or total absence. To make matters worse, modern building materials and open floor plans make fires spread 2-3 times faster than in older structures, with structural collapse times greatly reduced. The team used an overall approach, combining multiple advanced AI algorithms (算法) to cut false alarms — a critical factor, as false alerts waste emergency resources. Multiple algorithms must agree to confirm a fire. Trained on a custom dataset covering the National Fire Protection Association’s five fire classes (from ordinary combustibles to electrical and cooking fires) , the best model hit 80. 6% accuracy. Temporal analysis, which tracks how fire regions change across video frames, removes false alarms with 92. 6% accuracy, “Real fires are dynamic — growing, shifting shape,” noted Professor Sunil Kumar. Cloud-based, the system uses existing CCTV (闭路电视) ; cameras stream raw video to servers for AI analysis. On detection, it automatically generates video clips and sends real-time alerts via email and text — no costly hardware upgrades, a strength for widespread use. It can integrate with drones (无人机) to spot remote wildfires early and firefighters’ tools to enhance safety. Beyond fire, the team says it may adapt to security threats or medical emergencies, expanding safety monitoring. 8. What can we know about the fire in America from the text? A. It has caused massive damage. B. It seems less destructive currently. C. It primarily affects old buildings at large. D. It takes lots of effort to put out it. 9. Which of the following best describes the system? A. Time-consuming. B. Extremely costly. C. Good-looking. D. Highly efficient. 10. What does the team intend to emphasize about the system in the last paragraph? A. Its safety rules in use. B. Its potential application. C. Its demand for software. D. Its possible weaknesses. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Threat of Fire B. AI Powers Fire Security C. The Rise of Drones D. AI Gives Early Warning 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI技术如何提升火灾防控能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Fire kills nearly 3,700 Americans yearly and destroys $23 billion in property(火灾每年导致近3700名美国人死亡，财产损失达230亿美元)”可知，火灾造成了巨大的人员伤亡和经济损失。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Published in IEEE Internet of Things, the system analyzes video footage, identifying fires in 0.016 seconds per frame— faster than a human blink (眨眼) — to give vital extra minutes for evacuation and emergency response. Unlike conventional detectors, which need heavy smoke buildup and close proximity to activate, it spots early-stage fires via video alone, even before flames spread widely.(该系统发表于 IEEE Internet of Things Journal，可通过分析视频画面，以每帧0.016秒的速度识别火灾（快于人眼眨眼），为疏散和应急响应争取关键时间。与传统探测器需依赖近距离浓烟积聚才能触发不同，该系统仅通过视频即可在火焰大面积蔓延前的早期阶段发现火情)”可知，该系统反应极快，效率高。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段“It can integrate with drones to spot remote wildfires early and firefighters’ tools to enhance safety. Beyond fire, the team says it may adapt to security threats or medical emergencies, expanding safety monitoring.(该系统可与无人机集成，早期发现偏远地区野火；同时连接消防设备以提升安全保障。研究团队表示，除防火外，该技术还可能适配安全威胁或医疗急救场景，从而拓展安全监测的应用范围)”提到系统可集成无人机、消防工具，并可能扩展至安全威胁或医疗紧急情况，强调其广泛应用潜力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“AI系统如何提升火灾检测与安全性”展开，突出其速度、准确性和应用前景，标题应体现“AI”与“火灾安全”两大核心。选项B“AI Powers Fire Security (AI助力消防安全)”准确概括主旨，适合作为标题。故选B项。 D For all the fears around teens and screens, the most square-eyed generation is the elderly. Older people have long been champion TV-viewers. Now a new generation of pensioners (领养老金的人) are adding to their screen time with smartphones and iPads, which take up more than half of their waking hours. The digitization of old age is a good thing. Facebook and WhatsApp bring daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Zoom transports church, book clubs and doctors’ appointments into the home for people who cannot attend personally. E-commerce removes physical shopping burdens. Hours of entertainment from any era are available on demand. A connected retirement is more fulfilling and fun than an offline one. Older people are protected from some of the on-screen risks that threaten teenagers. Having established their key real-life relationships, they are less in danger of the social development challenges that affect youth. Their worldviews, already formed, prove more resistant to online temptation. Furthermore, their extensive free time means swapping one leisure pursuit for another — unlike for students facing academic pressures. However, as retirement moves online there will be costs that society must consider. Older folks' devices, unlike those of teenagers, are usually connected to credit cards. Door-to-door cheats, who have long preyed (欺骗) on the elderly, can now go iPad-to-iPad. The authorities rightly strive to protect children from online predators. They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing disadvantaged group to look after. Additionally, as heavy consumers of digital news, older adults tend to fall for misinformation — a problem made worse by advancing AI technology. Since seniors are the most consistent voting group, their potential miseducation would negatively affect elections. The social impact remains complex. While digital connectivity reduces feelings of loneliness, it may also reduce physical social interaction. Unlike children whose screen time is regulated by adults, seniors generally lack guidance from others in dealing with these pros and cons. Next time children are urged to put down the phones, they might glance toward their grandparents — equally obsessed with their own screens — suggesting that digital responsibility knows no age limit. 12. Why is digital life beneficial to the elderly? A. It is a replacement for their offline life. B. It reduces their need for entertainment. C. It gives access to professional training. D. It offers social contact and convenience. 13. Why are elderly users more resistant to some digital risks? A. They receive family guidance. B. They have sound life foundations. C. They use simpler digital devices. D. They possess stronger technical skills. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Teenagers are better at identifying online cheating. B. AI technology is a primary driver of misinformation. C. Governments should expand online protection efforts. D. Seniors hold a casual attitude towards political affairs. 15. Which describes the author’s attitude to the digitization of seniors? A. Skeptical. B. Concerned. C. Pessimistic. D. Favorable. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了老年人数字化生活的益处，如便捷社交、丰富娱乐等，同时也指出其面临的网络诈骗、虚假信息等风险，呼吁社会予以关注。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Facebook and WhatsApp bring daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Zoom transports church, book clubs and doctors’ appointments into the home for people who cannot attend personally. E-commerce removes physical shopping burdens.(Facebook和WhatsApp能带来老朋友和远方孙辈的日常动态。Zoom能将教堂活动、读书俱乐部和医生预约送到无法亲自参加的人家中。电子商务减轻了实体购物的负担。)”可知，数字化生活为老年人提供了社交联系和生活便利，这是其有益之处。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Having established their key real-life relationships, they are less in danger of the social development challenges that affect youth. Their worldviews, already formed, prove more resistant to online temptation.(他们已经建立了重要的现实生活关系，因此不太可能受到影响年轻人的社交发展挑战。他们业已形成的世界观，对网络诱惑更具抵抗力。)”可知，老年人拥有稳固的现实生活基础（包括人际关系和成熟的世界观），因此对部分数字风险更具抵抗力。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The authorities rightly strive to protect children from online predators. They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing disadvantaged group to look after.(当局正当地努力保护儿童免受网络掠夺者的伤害。他们必须认识到，还有另一个快速增长的弱势群体需要照顾。)”可知，作者认为政府在保护儿童免受网络危害的同时，也应关注老年人这一弱势群体，即政府应扩大网络保护范围。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，第二段介绍了老年人数字化生活的益处，第四段和第五段则重点阐述了其面临的网络诈骗、虚假信息、社交减少等问题，并呼吁社会和政府予以关注。由此可推断，作者对老年人数字化生活的态度是“担忧的”，既看到其优势，也重视其潜在风险。故选B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。 They say that life imitates art, and I have found that is true. As a writer, I have heard many stories about authors who write a book and then his or her work of fiction comes true. I first met Bobbie on Facebook eight years ago after editor David wrote to me. Because I am a big fan of Shetland Sheepdogs, he thought I would want to read the book he was editing, and I did. ____16____ I decided to know this author! We met through messages and then at writers’ conferences, setting our friendship in stone. Recently, her story came to life through posts on Facebook when she lost her dog Sherlock who had filled her life with love. “Please help! This afternoon I lost my Sherlock while hiking up in the mountains. ____17____ Please share, especially if you know people who hike in that area!” Searching nonstop, she handed out many flyers (传单) and even hired a search and rescue team to track him. Six days later, she posted, “We spent many hours today driving along the roads where there was a possible sighting of him. ____18____” Then, on November 27, a miracle unfolded. Bobbie told me how her husband Todd had answered the phone, “A young woman named April was calling to say, ‘____19____’ Todd asked her, ‘How did you get this phone number?’ When she answered, ‘It is right here on his tag.’ Todd knew this was the real thing.” ____20____ For me, this is the story. To know that her friend Sherlock is at home where he belongs is the only miracle that I need this season. A. I think I have your dog. B. The story had me in tears. C. He was lost on Sam’s Gap Trail. D. I thought about writing a story on this. E. The dog was frightened by a strange noise. F. With no luck, we feel like we are chasing shadows. G. Every year it seems that a Christmas miracle story unfolds. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】作者讲述生活常常模仿艺术，自己结识作家 Bobbie 后，亲历了 Bobbie 丢失爱犬 Sherlock、多方寻找，最终在好心人帮助下奇迹团聚的暖心故事。 【16题详解】 上文“Because I am a big fan of Shetland Sheepdogs, he thought I would want to read the book he was editing, and I did.(因为我十分喜欢设得兰牧羊犬，编辑戴维觉得我会想读他正在编审的这本书，我也确实读了。)”交代作者读完了这本书，后文“I decided to know this author!(我决定认识这位作家！)”写到决定认识这位作者，选项B“The story had me in tears.(这个故事让我深受感动、潸然落泪。)”承接读书后的感受，引出想要结识作者的想法。 【17题详解】 上文“Please help! This afternoon I lost my Sherlock while hiking up in the mountains.(求大家帮忙！今天下午我在山里徒步时弄丢了我的狗狗Sherlock。)”是寻狗求助，需要说明具体走失地点，选项C“He was lost on Sam’s Gap Trail.(它在山姆峡谷步道走失。)”补充走失具体位置。 【18题详解】 上文“We spent many hours today driving along the roads where there was a possible sighting of him.(今天我们花了很长时间沿着有人可能见到它的路段驱车寻找。)”说明尽力寻找的过程，选项F“With no luck, we feel like we are chasing shadows.(一无所获，我们感觉只是在徒劳追寻。)”表达寻找无果的失落心情，贴合上下文语境。 【19题详解】 上文“A young woman named April was calling to say(一位名叫April的年轻女子打电话来说)”和下文“Todd asked her, ‘How did you get this phone number?’ When she answered, ‘It is right here on his tag.’ Todd knew this was the real thing.”(托德问她：“你是怎么得到这个电话号码的？”当她回答说：“就在他的标签上写着呢。”托德这才确信这就是真的号码。)”是好心人April来电联系归还狗狗，选项A“I think I have your dog.(我想我捡到了你的狗狗。)”符合打电话告知主人捡到宠物的对话逻辑。 【20题详解】 后文“For me, this is the story.(对我来说，这就是那个奇迹故事。)”呼应空格内容，说明是个奇迹故事，选项G“Every year it seems that a Christmas miracle story unfolds.(似乎每年都会上演一个圣诞奇迹故事。)”引出本次狗狗失而复得的暖心奇迹，总领收尾段落。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It happened in Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

Hesitant犹豫的。根据前文“No ripples, no sound.”可知，鳄鱼藏在水面下，不动也不发出声音，因此是“看不见的”。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：它此刻甚至可能正注视着我。A. leaving离开；B. ignoring忽视；C. watching注视；D. attacking攻击。根据前文“But I knew it was there.”可知，作者推测鳄鱼此时正在水下盯着自己。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：鳄鱼是世界上最高效的捕猎者之一。A. flexible灵活的；B. effective有效的；C. cruel残忍的；D. common普通的。根据后文“In short, they’re  built for the kill.”可知，鳄鱼的身体构造非常适合捕猎，说明鳄鱼是世界上高效的捕猎者。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：它们的眼睛和鼻子长在头部较高的位置，而整个身体却潜藏在水面之下。A. placed放置；B. positioned使位于；C. fixed固定；D. bent弯曲。此处讲鳄鱼身体器官的生长位置，position作动词表示“使位于，定位”，符合描述生物构造位置的语境。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：凭借爆发力极强的尾部力量以及能在水下潜伏数小时的本领，它们的身体构造9500万年来一直保持不变。A. remained保持；B. appeared出现；C. enjoyed享受；D. suffered遭受。根据空后“unchanged for 95 million years.”可知，鳄鱼的身体构造9500万年一直没有改变，remain unchanged是固定搭配“保持不变”。 【27题详解】 考查副词。句意：简而言之，它们生来就是为捕猎而生的。A. randomly随意地；B. simply简直；C. eventually最终；D. partially部分地。根据前文“Crocodiles are among the world’s most  hunters.”可知，前文总结鳄鱼适合捕猎的身体优势，此处总结“它们简直就是为捕猎而生的”，simply符合语义。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：当我继续扫视水面时，我察觉到了一丝动静：一圈淡淡的涟漪。A. effect效果；B. success成功；C. surprise惊讶；D. movement动静。根据空后“a soft ripple”可知，水面泛起了涟漪，因此作者是看到了动静。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：这头沉默的猛兽把目标锁定在了我身上。A. jumps at欣然接受；B. locks onto锁定；C. counts on依靠；D. runs into偶遇。根据后文“I feel my heart racing. I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows.”可知，作者移动鳄鱼就跟着，说明鳄鱼锁定了作者。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：接着我又向右挪了几步，它依旧在暗中尾随我。A. frightens使害怕；B. tricks欺骗；C. tracks跟踪；D. hurts伤害。根据上文“I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows.”可知，作者向左走鳄鱼跟着，向右走鳄鱼再次跟踪，tracks对应前文的follows，符合逻辑。 【31题详解】 考查名词。句意：看着它纹丝不动，静静等着我犯错、多迈出危险的一步，我不禁对这位古老的猎手心生敬畏。A. deal交易；B. decision决定；C. mistake错误；D. comeback回归。根据空后“to take one step too many”可知，鳄鱼一动不动等着作者多走一步而出错，make a mistake为固定搭配，意为“犯错”。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：它拥有近乎无穷的耐心。A. possibility可能性；B. energy精力；C. imagination想象力；D. patience耐心。根据前文“the ability to stay underwater for hours”及“as it remains motionless, waiting for me”可知，鳄鱼可以长时间呆在水下不动等待猎物，说明它有无限的耐心。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：在这个瞬息万变、人们总在追求创新与完善的世界里，我们很容易忘记，有些事物保持原本的样子就很好。A. balance平衡；B. freedom自由；C. tradition传统；D. improvement改进。根据空前“In a world of constant change, where we’re always seeking innovation and”可知，世界不断变化，我们总在追求创新，和innovation并列的是improvement，符合“求新求变”的语境。 【34题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在这个瞬息万变、人们总在追求创新与完善的世界里，我们很容易忘记，有些事物保持原本的样子就很好。A. fine美好的；B. strange奇怪的；C. flexible灵活的；D. sensitive敏感的。根据前文“In a world of constant change, where we’re always seeking innovation and”可知，此处与“不断变化的世界”形成对比，指像鳄鱼这样的动物不需要改变，它们本来就很好。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：当根基足够稳固时，根本没有必要做出太多改变。A. change改变；B. doubt怀疑；C. challenge挑战；D. panic使恐慌。根据前文“their design has  unchanged for 95 million years”及“it’s easy to forget that some things are  just the way they are.”可知，鳄鱼千万年不变依然是出色的捕猎者，因此只要基础足够稳固，根本不需要做出太多的改变。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Paris, a city known for abundant museums, has once again proven itself as a cultural hotspot.

This would be their first stay at our mountain house, but our old mattress (床垫) was worn and a new one couldn’t wait. The forecast had promised heavy rain all weekend, and sure enough it had been pouring until that morning. My parents arrived early in the morning. By then, my husband was away on business. Though strong winds were still predicted for the afternoon, after settling them in, I decided to drive to the second-hand market in town to find a replacement mattress. I found a king-size steal — only $50. Two employees carried the mattress out and placed it onto the roof of my car. It hung forward over the window of my tiny car by about two feet. All I needed to do was get it home. All seemed to be going well — until the wind showed its force. With each mile up the mountain, the wind grew wilder, rocking my car back and forth. The mattress felt heavier, pulling at the ropes as if it was trying to break free. The road was too narrow to turn around. I had to keep going. As I rounded the last turn, I was met head-on by the worst rush of wind. My car too light, the mattress too heavy and the wind too strong, I lost control and crashed into a telephone pole. I tried to start the engine. Nothing. Trapped in the damaged car with my phone running out of battery and darkness falling, I felt a wave of panic wash over me. Minutes later, a truck approached. I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I saw a huge man get out of the truck and heard a deep, heavily accented voice, that relief disappeared. “Looks like you’ve got yourself in a spot of trouble, ma’am,” he said. Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a knife. My heart missed a beat. This was it. The crash hadn’t killed me, but now this strange man would. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 I was so scared that my hands began shaking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was so scared that my hands began shaking. But the attack didn’t happen. With rapid movements, he cut through the ropes holding down the mattress, lifted it onto his shoulder and loaded it onto his truck. I stared at him in shock, with my hands still trembling from the earlier fear. He noticed my unease, paused, and said softly, “I just want to help you get home safely.” Then he walked to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and helped me out. The storm continued, but my panic dissolved as I slid into the truck beside him. Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep. Before the truck stopped, I saw my parents rushing toward us, their faces filled with worry. As we got off, my mom hurried over to hold my hand, while my dad helped with the mattress. After the mattress was positioned, I expressed my gratitude to the man and offered to give him some money. But he refused, waving at us and leaving. Watching the truck disappear into the night, I realized how quick I’d been to judge a stranger by his appearance and that kindness often comes in unexpected packages. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者冒着暴风雨去给到访的父母买床垫，回家的路上不幸撞车，一名路过的大个男人的接近让作者非常害怕，但是他救了作者并把她平安送回家，这让作者明白了以貌取人是不对的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我吓得浑身发抖，双手也开始颤抖起来。”可知，第一段可描写这个男人把作者从车里救了出来。 ②由第二段首句内容“很快，那个高大的男人就把我和我的床垫送到了我家门口。”可知，第二段可描写作者被平安送到家后，意识到自己以貌取人是不对的。 2.续写线索：采取措施——安抚——解救——到家——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.发生：happen/take place/occur ②.意识到：realize/be aware ③.继续：continue/go on 情绪类 ①.感谢：express my gratitude/show my appreciation/be grateful ②.震惊：shock/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] I stared at him in shock, with my hands still trembling from the earlier fear.

At its core, media literacy means understanding how media works - who created a message, why it was made, and how it’s meant to influence the audience. Students are constantly surrounded by messages: some are helpful, others misleading. Teaching them to analyze, question, and evaluate media gives them the tools to think critically and make informed choices. The good news? You can build media literacy into what you’re already doing, one step at a time. Use Headlines as Warm-Ups Start class with a real-world headline - ideally one related to your subject area. Ask students: ● Is this information reliable? ● Where did it come from? ● What might be missing? This five-minute routine builds awareness and can lead to great discussions. Compare Two Sources Pick two texts on the same topic but from different perspectives. This could be editorials, news articles, or video content. Ask students to compare: ● Language and tone. ● Choice of images. ● What facts are emphasized or ignored? This is a great way to teach bias (偏见) and point of view, especially in ELA or social studies. Build Visual Literacy Use political cartoons, advertisements, or photos to practise interpreting: ● What’s the message? ● How is it being communicated visually? ● Who benefits from this image? This kind of analysis helps students read beyond the text. This is about teaching students to be curious, and you just need to model curiosity. When you say, “Let’s figure out where this came from,” you’re demonstrating to students how to think critically. And when they see you do it regularly, they start doing it too. 1. What is the primary purpose of teaching media literacy to students? A. To arouse their interest in media. B. To enhance their literature skills. C. To develop their critical thinking ability. D. To broaden their general media knowledge. 2. Which technique of teaching media literacy is recommended? A. Using visual aids in teaching. B. Asking students to connect two sources. C. Providing materials that include pictures. D. Having students figure out better headlines. 3. How can teachers best stimulate students’ curiosity? A. Ask routine questions. B. Show, don’t just tell. C. Reward curious students. D. Tell, don’t just watch. B Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects. The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot. My illiterate (不识字的) grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright. My own parents did not inspire this love. My mother was illiterate; my father, slightly educated, was too busy for encouragement. Yet I began to observe as a baby. One day, standing on the grassland, I was fascinated by the sun. A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed. At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter. Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself. 4. What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story? A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects. C. His early education background. D. The influence of his family on him. 5. How did the author’s family react to his discovery about the sunlight? A. They rejected it. B. They questioned it. C. They brushed it aside. D. They approved of it. 6. What does the description of the school mainly suggest? A. The lively classes attracted animals. B. The students lacked interest in learning. C. The animals became a threat to students. D. The environment presented barriers to learning. 7. What was the author like as a boy? A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious. C Fire kills nearly 3, 700 Americans yearly and destroys $23 billion in property, often because traditional smoke detectors fail to warn residents timely — leaving little time to escape or call for help. Now, NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s NYU Fire Research Group has developed an AI system to boost fire safety, using existing security cameras to detect fires and smoke in real time. Published in IEEE Internet of Things, the system analyzes video footage, identifying fires in 0.016 seconds per frame — faster than a human blink (眨眼) — to give vital extra minutes for evacuation and emergency response. Unlike conventional detectors, which need heavy smoke buildup and close proximity to activate, it spots early-stage fires via video alone, even before flames spread widely. Concerning statistics highlight the urgent need: 11% of residential fire deaths happen where detectors failed — either due to malfunction or total absence. To make matters worse, modern building materials and open floor plans make fires spread 2-3 times faster than in older structures, with structural collapse times greatly reduced. The team used an overall approach, combining multiple advanced AI algorithms (算法) to cut false alarms — a critical factor, as false alerts waste emergency resources. Multiple algorithms must agree to confirm a fire. Trained on a custom dataset covering the National Fire Protection Association’s five fire classes (from ordinary combustibles to electrical and cooking fires) , the best model hit 80. 6% accuracy. Temporal analysis, which tracks how fire regions change across video frames, removes false alarms with 92. 6% accuracy, “Real fires are dynamic — growing, shifting shape,” noted Professor Sunil Kumar. Cloud-based, the system uses existing CCTV (闭路电视) ; cameras stream raw video to servers for AI analysis. On detection, it automatically generates video clips and sends real-time alerts via email and text — no costly hardware upgrades, a strength for widespread use. It can integrate with drones (无人机) to spot remote wildfires early and firefighters’ tools to enhance safety. Beyond fire, the team says it may adapt to security threats or medical emergencies, expanding safety monitoring. 8. What can we know about the fire in America from the text? A. It has caused massive damage. B. It seems less destructive currently. C. It primarily affects old buildings at large. D. It takes lots of effort to put out it. 9. Which of the following best describes the system? A. Time-consuming. B. Extremely costly. C. Good-looking. D. Highly efficient. 10. What does the team intend to emphasize about the system in the last paragraph? A. Its safety rules in use. B. Its potential application. C. Its demand for software. D. Its possible weaknesses. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Threat of Fire B. AI Powers Fire Security C. The Rise of Drones D. AI Gives Early Warning D For all the fears around teens and screens, the most square-eyed generation is the elderly. Older people have long been champion TV-viewers. Now a new generation of pensioners (领养老金的人) are adding to their screen time with smartphones and iPads, which take up more than half of their waking hours. The digitization of old age is a good thing. Facebook and WhatsApp bring daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Zoom transports church, book clubs and doctors’ appointments into the home for people who cannot attend personally. E-commerce removes physical shopping burdens. Hours of entertainment from any era are available on demand. A connected retirement is more fulfilling and fun than an offline one. Older people are protected from some of the on-screen risks that threaten teenagers. Having established their key real-life relationships, they are less in danger of the social development challenges that affect youth. Their worldviews, already formed, prove more resistant to online temptation. Furthermore, their extensive free time means swapping one leisure pursuit for another — unlike for students facing academic pressures. However, as retirement moves online there will be costs that society must consider. Older folks' devices, unlike those of teenagers, are usually connected to credit cards. Door-to-door cheats, who have long preyed (欺骗) on the elderly, can now go iPad-to-iPad. The authorities rightly strive to protect children from online predators. They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing disadvantaged group to look after. Additionally, as heavy consumers of digital news, older adults tend to fall for misinformation — a problem made worse by advancing AI technology. Since seniors are the most consistent voting group, their potential miseducation would negatively affect elections. The social impact remains complex. While digital connectivity reduces feelings of loneliness, it may also reduce physical social interaction. Unlike children whose screen time is regulated by adults, seniors generally lack guidance from others in dealing with these pros and cons. Next time children are urged to put down the phones, they might glance toward their grandparents — equally obsessed with their own screens — suggesting that digital responsibility knows no age limit. 12. Why is digital life beneficial to the elderly? A. It is a replacement for their offline life. B. It reduces their need for entertainment. C. It gives access to professional training. D. It offers social contact and convenience. 13. Why are elderly users more resistant to some digital risks? A. They receive family guidance. B. They have sound life foundations. C. They use simpler digital devices. D. They possess stronger technical skills. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Teenagers are better at identifying online cheating. B.

This would be their first stay at our mountain house, but our old mattress (床垫) was worn and a new one couldn’t wait. The forecast had promised heavy rain all weekend, and sure enough it had been pouring until that morning. My parents arrived early in the morning. By then, my husband was away on business. Though strong winds were still predicted for the afternoon, after settling them in, I decided to drive to the second-hand market in town to find a replacement mattress. I found a king-size steal — only $50. Two employees carried the mattress out and placed it onto the roof of my car. It hung forward over the window of my tiny car by about two feet. All I needed to do was get it home. All seemed to be going well — until the wind showed its force. With each mile up the mountain, the wind grew wilder, rocking my car back and forth. The mattress felt heavier, pulling at the ropes as if it was trying to break free. The road was too narrow to turn around. I had to keep going. As I rounded the last turn, I was met head-on by the worst rush of wind. My car too light, the mattress too heavy and the wind too strong, I lost control and crashed into a telephone pole. I tried to start the engine. Nothing. Trapped in the damaged car with my phone running out of battery and darkness falling, I felt a wave of panic wash over me. Minutes later, a truck approached. I breathed a sigh of relief. But when I saw a huge man get out of the truck and heard a deep, heavily accented voice, that relief disappeared. “Looks like you’ve got yourself in a spot of trouble, ma’am,” he said. Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a knife. My heart missed a beat. This was it. The crash hadn’t killed me, but now this strange man would. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 I was so scared that my hands began shaking. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the huge man drove me and my mattress to my doorstep. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
