Successor
Douban Rating: 7.1
Successor uses dark humor to explore family bonds, education, and personal growth. It follows Ma Chenggang, who adopts an extreme “poverty training” method to prepare his son for inheriting the family business. Labeled an “educational horror film”, it not only raises questions about problematic teaching approaches but also makes viewers reflect on how education shapes children’s lives.

Kendall Griffith is a student at Bard College majoring in both the pipa, a four-stringed Chinese lute, and Asian studies. Born and raised in Boston, Griffith started her journey into Chinese culture nine years ago, when she began learning Chinese for its writing system and tones.
While learning Chinese, she was fascinated by traditional Chinese music in a drama she was watching. Griffith did some research and discovered that the instrument she was drawn to was the pipa.
“I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it,” Griffith says, adding that her parents and friends have been very supportive of her learning Chinese traditional music.
Griffith’s father helped her discover the instrument and she found her first pipa teacher, who was part of the Boston Chinese Ensemble. Sometimes, after performances, people would tell her, “I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.
Last semester, Griffith studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Learning the pipa in the city, where “Chinese music is happening”, Griffith felt pushed beyond her comfort zone and learned more about her passion.
“There was an interesting lecture that talked about the similarities between most Chinese music and things in calligraphy. There’s a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling into a lot of the music I play,” she says. “Chinese music also emulates nature in a way. The sound it makes can resemble a horse; you can visualize it. There are many techniques not seen in Western instruments, such as bending the strings or using your five fingers to create a tremolo (颤音). I enjoy telling my friends about it,” she says. Griffith’s friends, who were amazed by her impressions, started attending more Chinese music concerts, wanting to learn more.
Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more. She said, “When you learn about a different type of music, it makes you appreciate the culture more. It makes you realize how important it is to be open-minded. I feel more open-minded about why things are the way they are.”
4. What initially drew Griffith to start learning the pipa?
A. Her major in Asian studies. B. The Chinese tone system.
C. The unique sound of the pipa. D. The support from her father.
5. What does the underlined word “emulates” in paragraph 6. mean?
A. Imitate. B. Protect. C. Feature. D. Enrich.
6. What can be inferred from people’s reactions after Griffith’s performances?
A. They were skeptical about her skills.
B. They expected more Chinese elements in her playing.
C. They thought her performance was too traditional.
D. They were impressed by her non-Chinese background playing the pipa.
7. What benefit does Griffith get from learning Chinese music?
A. It has deepened her love for Chinese culture.
B. It has developed her critical thinking.
C. It has promoted her Chinese learning.
D. It has made her more interested in Western music.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了美国学生Kendall Griffith学习琵琶、远赴中央音乐学院深造,并在过程中感悟中国音乐与文化魅力、拓宽包容心态的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段““I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it” (“我喜欢琵琶的音色,尤其喜欢琵琶所蕴含的演奏技法”)”可知,琵琶独特的音色最初吸引Griffith开始学习琵琶。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第六段“The sound it makes can resemble a horse; you can visualize it.(它发出的声音可以模仿马的声响,你可以想象出画面。)”可知,中国音乐在某种程度上也师法自然、描摹自然。故此处emulates与resemble语义相近,意为“模仿”。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Sometimes, after performances, people would tell her, “I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.(有时候演出结束后,人们会对她说:“我从来没见过非华人弹奏琵琶,太厉害了。”)”可知,人们对她非华人身份却能弹奏琵琶印象深刻。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more.(通过音乐深入另一种文化,让Griffith更加珍视这种文化。)”可知,学习中国音乐加深了她对中国文化的热爱。
C
Climate change and habitat loss are affecting animal populations around the world, and reptiles (爬行动物) such as South Australia’s endangered pygmy bluetongue lizards (蜥蜴), are particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures and the long-term trend of decreasing rainfall.
Scientists from Flinders University are dedicated to ensuring a sustainable future for this burrow — dwelling endemic species (Tiliqua adelaidensis) by assessing whether they can fit into cooler and slightly greener locations, which are located below their typical range in the drier and hotter northern regions of the state.
The latest research, presented in a new article in Biology, compared the ability of three separate pygmy bluetongue lizard populations to survive different microclimates in South Australia — between the northern Flinders Ranges near Jamestown, Mid North near Burra, and southern-most translocation (迁移) sites near Tarlee and Kapunda.
The study, led by PhD candidate Deanne Trewartha from the College of Science and Engineering, says moving wildlife in a hotter, drier location to another microclimate can mean exposure to different temperatures, water availability and humidity and needs extensive assessment.
“We need to understand how this species, which is highly dependent on body temperature, adapts to cooler and often wetter seasons in these new environments,” says Trewartha.
Trewartha says the research recently suggests adapting to new sites may take longer than two years for all three populations and may vary with their origins. She says, “These three populations have shown various responses to their new locations, but behavioral variations are not harmful in the long term and may potentially aid animals in adapting to changed environments to increase their chance of survival.”
Mike Gardner, Flinders University Professor of Biodiversity and Ecology, says, “Australia has the highest reptile diversity in the world. With high biodiversity loss, translocation to ‘future — suitable’ sites is becoming increasingly urgent for the conservation of numerous reptile species.”
“Further monitoring of the three populations will continue to see other behavioral variations and the long-term behavioral adaptation periods for translocation,” says Trewartha.
8. What do Flinders University scientists keep doing to the translocated lizards?
A. Preserving their original living places.
B. Introducing more lizard species for them.
C. Ensuring their habitats are free from rainfalls.
D. Monitoring their adaptability to new locations.
9. What is Trewartha’s attitude to the lizards’ behavioral variations?
A. Negative. B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.
10. What does Mike Gardner stress in Paragraph 7?
A. The potential of reptile species.
B. The survival chance of lizards.
C. The necessity of translocation.
D. The high biodiversity in Australia.
11. From which section of a website is the text most probably taken?
A. Technology. B. Environment.
C. Health. D. Tourism.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists from Flinders University are dedicated to ensuring a sustainable future for this burrow - dwelling endemic species(Tiliqua adelaidensis)by assessing whether they can fit into cooler and slightly greener locations(弗林德斯大学的科学家致力于通过评估这种穴居特有物种(阿德莱德蓝舌蜥)能否适应更凉爽且稍显绿色的环境,来确保它们拥有可持续的未来)以及最后一段“Further monitoring of the three populations will continue to see other behavioral variations and the long - term behavioral adaptation periods for translocation(对这三个种群的进一步监测将持续观察其他行为变化以及迁移后的长期行为适应期)可知,弗林德斯大学的科学家一直在监测迁移蜥蜴对新环境的适应性。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“These three populations have shown various responses to their new locations, but behavioral variations are not harmful in the long term and may potentially aid animals in adapting to changed environments to increase their chance of survival.(这三个种群对新环境表现出不同反应,但从长远来看,行为变化并无害处,反而可能有助于动物适应变化的环境,增加生存机会)可知,Trewartha对蜥蜴的行为变化持乐观态度。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“With high biodiversity loss, translocation to‘future — suitable’sites is becoming increasingly urgent for the conservation of numerous reptile species.(随着生物多样性的大量丧失,为保护众多爬行动物物种,将它们迁移到‘未来适宜’的地点变得愈发紧迫)可知,Mike Gardner强调了迁移蜥蜴的必要性。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。主要介绍因气候变化和栖息地丧失,南澳大利亚濒危的侏儒蓝舌蜥蜴受气温上升和降雨减少影响,弗林德斯大学科学家致力于评估其能否适应更凉爽且稍绿的新地点,研究对比了三个不同种群蜥蜴在不同微气候中的生存能力,探讨它们对新环境的适应情况及迁移的必要性。主要涉及环境与动物保护方面的内容,所以最有可能来自网站的环境板块。故选B项。

Social media is a huge part of modern teenage life, offering amazing connection but also risking mental health. While some praise its power to build communities and encourage self-expression, its negative effects are too serious to ignore, requiring us to seriously rethink its role.
On the one hand, social media provides a vital space for young people, especially those from marginalized (边缘化的) groups, to find support and share experiences. It makes it easier to access information and learn about different views. For many, it is also an important outlet for creativity, which can build confidence and a sense of belonging. The ability to keep friendships with people far away is another clear benefit.
However, the negative impacts often seem greater. The main danger is the “perfect life” often shown online. Seeing endless perfect images and lifestyles fuels social comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression. The constant chase for “likes” makes a person’s self-worth depend on public approval, creating huge pressure. Furthermore, cyberbullying (网络欺凌) can cause deep and lasting psychological harm. Sleep problems from late-night scrolling and the addictive design of the apps worsen these issues, harming emotional control during key stages of growth.
Therefore, while social media’s power to connect is clear, its current design is a serious threat to youth mental health. The platforms are built to maximize engagement, often at the cost of well-being, making social pressures and unrealistic expectations worse. The proven increase in anxiety and depression among heavy users highlights this crisis. Acknowledging the benefits is not enough; we must actively reduce the harm. This means teaching young users the skills to navigate (浏览) the digital world safely and healthily, so they don’t become victims of its darker side.
12. What is mentioned as a positive function of social media?
A. Offering identity exploration spaces. B. Reducing sleep quality significantly.
C. Increasing face-to-face interactions. D. Removing social barriers completely.
13. Why does the author mention the chase for “likes”?
A. To show it builds self-esteem. B. To highlight its motivational role.
C. To criticize its link to self-worth. D. To suggest removing all feedback.
14. What does the text imply about platform design?
A. It prioritizes user privacy. B. It seeks engagement over well-being.
C. It focuses on educational goals. D. It is designed by mental health experts.
15. Which title best summarizes the text?
A. A Guide to Safe Internet Use
B. The Rise of Digital Communities
C. How to Build Confidence Online
D. Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword for Teens
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章叙述了社交媒体对青少年心理健康既有利也有弊的双重影响,并呼吁采取行动减少其危害。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“On the one hand, social media provides a vital space for young people, especially those from marginalized groups, to find support and share experiences. It makes it easier to access information and learn about different views. For many, it is also an important outlet for creativity, which can build confidence and a sense of belonging. The ability to keep friendships with people far away is another clear benefit.(一方面,社交媒体为年轻人,尤其是那些来自边缘群体的年轻人,提供了一个寻求支持和分享经验的重要空间。它使访问信息和了解不同观点变得更加容易。对许多人来说,它也是发挥创造力的重要途径,可以建立信心和归属感。与远方的人保持友谊的能力是另一个明显的好处)”可知,社交媒体为年轻人(尤其是边缘群体)提供了寻找支持、分享经验和表达创造力的空间,这有助于建立自信和归属感,即社交媒体的积极功能是提供身份探索的空间。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The main danger is the ‘perfect life’ often shown online. Seeing endless perfect images and lifestyles fuels social comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression. The constant chase for ‘likes’ makes a person’s self-worth depend on public approval, creating huge pressure.(主要的危险是网上经常出现的“完美生活”。看到无穷无尽的完美形象和生活方式助长了社会比较,导致了自卑、焦虑和抑郁的感觉。不断追求“赞”会让一个人的自我价值依赖于公众的认可,从而产生巨大的压力)”可知,对“点赞”的追求导致青少年将自我价值建立在公众认可上,从而产生巨大压力。由此推知,作者提到追求点赞是为了批评它与自我价值的联系。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Therefore, while social media’s power to connect is clear, its current design is a serious threat to youth mental health. The platforms are built to maximize engagement, often at the cost of well-being, making social pressures and unrealistic expectations worse.(因此,虽然社交媒体的连接能力是显而易见的,但其目前的设计对青少年的心理健康构成了严重威胁。这些平台的建立是为了最大化用户粘性,但往往是以牺牲幸福感为代价,使社会压力和不切实际的期望变得更糟)”可知,社交平台的设计以“最大化用户参与度”为核心,但这是以牺牲用户福祉为代价的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Social media is a huge part of modern teenage life, offering amazing connection but also risking mental health. While some praise its power to build communities and encourage self-expression, its negative effects are too serious to ignore, requiring us to seriously rethink its role.(社交媒体是现代青少年生活的重要组成部分,提供了惊人的联系,但也冒着心理健康的风险。虽然有些人赞扬它建立社区和鼓励自我表达的力量,但它的负面影响太严重了,不容忽视,需要我们认真思考它的作用)”可知,文章通过对比社交媒体的益处(如社区支持、自我表达)和危害(如焦虑、网络欺凌、成瘾性设计),强调其双重性。选项D“Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword for Teens(社交媒体:青少年的双刃剑)”精准概括了全文核心,为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

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。
Life in the digital world can be rewarding. It’s convenient to order groceries for pickup, share photographs or music, and keep in touch with family and friends, no matter the distance. ____16____ While digital detoxes, which involve intentionally avoiding digital technologies in the pursuit of balance and digital well-being, are helpful, they often fall short. Here are four strategies to improve digital well-being.
Finding replacement practices. We find that feelings of withdrawal during a digital detox are quite common. For many, reaching for their phones and scrolling (滚屏) has become such a habit that they often don’t realize they are doing it. Many turn to their devices when bored or stressed. ____17____
Strengthening social bonds. ____18____ This inborn desire for connection, however, combined with people’s reliance on technology, can lead to feelings of fear of missing out and anxiety during a digital detox. So, during a digital detox, it is vital to fill your cup with community.
___19___ In today’s fast-paced environment, finding a moment to stop can feel nearly impossible. Yet the ability to just find can allow time for reflection, helping you consider what makes you happy and healthy. Yoga and meditation (冥想) are common ways that detoxers find moments to become more aware of their own thoughts.
Viewing digital well-being as an ongoing journey. Ultimately, digital well-being is a journey. It is not a checklist that, once completed, means you are fulfilled. ____20____ Instead, a successful detox often leaves people feeling introspective (反省的) and curious. Importantly, set and monitor goals to adapt to changing needs over time.
A. Emphasizing mindfulness.
B. However, it can also be tiring.
C. Being aware of different thoughts.
D. Humans are naturally social creatures.
E. A single detox isn’t enough to cure digital imbalance.
F. Therefore, finding an alternative to occupy their hands can be crucial.
G. These replacements often involve hobbies or activities resulting in play.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. E

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了改善数字健康的四种策略及相关做法。
【16题详解】
由上文“Life in the digital world can be rewarding. It’s convenient to order groceries for pickup, share photographs or music, and keep in touch with family and friends, no matter the distance. (数字世界的生活可能是有益的。订购杂货以便取货、分享照片或音乐以及与家人和朋友保持联系,无论距离多远,都很方便)”及下文“While digital detoxes, which involve intentionally avoiding digital technologies in the pursuit of balance and digital well-being, are helpful, they often fall short. (虽然数字排毒,即有意避免使用数字技术以追求平衡和数字健康,是有帮助的,但它们往往不够)”可知,上文说数字生活的好处,下文提到数字排毒,且转折说其不足,所以本空应体现数字生活还有不好的一面。B选项“However, it can also be tiring. (然而,它也可能令人疲惫)”表示转折,指出数字生活也有不好的一面,能承上启下,符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
由上文“Finding replacement practices. We find that feelings of withdrawal during a digital detox are quite common. For many, reaching for their phones and scrolling (滚屏) has become such a habit that they often don’t realize they are doing it. Many turn to their devices when bored or stressed. (寻找替代做法。我们发现,在数字排毒期间出现戒断感是相当常见的。对许多人来说,伸手拿手机并滚屏已经成为一种习惯,以至于他们常常没有意识到自己在这样做。许多人在无聊或有压力时就会使用他们的设备)”可知,很多人有依赖电子设备的习惯,在数字排毒时会有脱瘾症状,所以本空应提出解决办法。F选项 “Therefore, finding an alternative to occupy their hands can be crucial. (因此,找到一种替代方法来占据他们的手可能至关重要)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选F。
【18题详解】
由下文“This inborn desire for connection, however, combined with people’s reliance on technology, can lead to feelings of fear of missing out and anxiety during a digital detox. (然而,这种天生的对联系的渴望,与人们对技术的依赖相结合,可能会导致在数字排毒期间产生错过的恐惧和焦虑感)”可知,本空应提及人们对联系的天生渴望,即人们的社交属性。D选项“Humans are naturally social creatures. (人类是天生的社交动物)”能引出下文对人们社交需求的讨论,符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
由下文“In today’s fast-paced environment, finding a moment to stop can feel nearly impossible. Yet the ability to just find can allow time for reflection, helping you consider what makes you happy and healthy. Yoga and meditation (冥想) are common ways that detoxers find moments to become more aware of their own thoughts. (在当今快节奏的环境中,找到一个停下来的时刻几乎是不可能的。然而,仅仅找到这样的时刻的能力可以让你有时间进行反思,帮助你考虑什么能让你快乐和健康。瑜伽和冥想是排毒者找到时刻以更加了解自己想法的常见方式)”可知,本段主要讲找到时间停下来反思,关注自己的想法,即强调正念。A选项“Emphasizing mindfulness. (强调正念)”能概括该段内容,符合题意。故选A。
【20题详解】
由上文“Viewing digital well-being as an ongoing journey. Ultimately, digital well-being is a journey. It is not a checklist that, once completed, means you are fulfilled. (将数字健康视为一个持续的过程。最终,数字健康是一个过程。它不是一个清单,一旦完成,就意味着你满足了)”及下文“Instead, a successful detox often leaves people feeling introspective (反省的) and curious. Importantly, set and monitor goals to adapt to changing needs over time. (相反,成功的数字排毒往往会让人感到内省和好奇。重要的是,设定并监控目标,以适应随着时间推移而变化的需求)”可知,本空应进一步阐述数字健康不是一蹴而就的,一次排毒不能解决问题。E选项“A single detox isn’t enough to cure digital imbalance. (一次数字排毒不足以治愈数字失衡)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选E。

Once she finished the ____22____, she told us, “It’s your time to____23____!” Over the course of four months, we practised for our final performance. Thinking of standing onstage gave me instant ____24____——who would want to be stared at by a crowd?
In the beginning, we felt ____25____ and determined even after hours of dancing. We’d even grab drinks together after class and ____26____ our own performance, finding the good and bad. However, after a couple of weeks, our ____27____ weren’t the same as before—what were once elegant and dynamic now lacked liveliness. Some of the classmates ____28____. Thinking it over, I decided to still use the course as a ____29____ of improving——I’d never danced and had much to learn. It was ____30____ for me to dance as well as the teacher, so my ____31____ seemed simple: practising and losing myself in the dance.
On the performance day, I ____32____ the way my teacher attracted me that first day. Holding on to that flashback, I entered the stage. I couldn’t see the audience through the ____33____ lights, feeling less afraid. With the performance unfolding, I had no other ____34____, absorbed in the beat and dancing. I succeeded. And I knew at that moment, I’d ____35____ others, too.

Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】 Ricky decided to follow his father’s advice. The next day, he gathered his courage and went to talk to his instructor after class.

Following the suggestion, Ricky also borrowed some easier books related to computer skills. He kept studying every day and gradually found the knowledge easier to understand. Little by little, he no longer felt helpless or lonely.
With growing confidence, Ricky started to challenge himself in new ways. He began to sit closer in class and actively asked questions. He even tried to communicate with his classmates and formed small groups to discuss difficult points together. His hard work finally paid off. Soon, his grades improved greatly. He realized that choosing computer skills was not a mistake. With strong determination, he kept moving forward bravely, firmly believing a bright future was waiting for him.

Her Story weaves together the life journeys of three women at different stages. It portrays warm daily interactions between urban men and women while emphasizing the importance of self-love. Directed, written, and edited by Shao Yihui, the film earned over 200 million yuan in just four days, gaining both huge box office success and positive word-of-mouth.

Kendall Griffith is a student at Bard College majoring in both the pipa, a four-stringed Chinese lute, and Asian studies. Born and raised in Boston, Griffith started her journey into Chinese culture nine years ago, when she began learning Chinese for its writing system and tones.
While learning Chinese, she was fascinated by traditional Chinese music in a drama she was watching. Griffith did some research and discovered that the instrument she was drawn to was the pipa.
“I like the sound of the pipa, especially the techniques that are incorporated with it,” Griffith says, adding that her parents and friends have been very supportive of her learning Chinese traditional music.
Griffith’s father helped her discover the instrument and she found her first pipa teacher, who was part of the Boston Chinese Ensemble. Sometimes, after performances, people would tell her, “I’ve never seen a non-Chinese person play this before. That’s very cool.
Last semester, Griffith studied at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Learning the pipa in the city, where “Chinese music is happening”, Griffith felt pushed beyond her comfort zone and learned more about her passion.
“There was an interesting lecture that talked about the similarities between most Chinese music and things in calligraphy. There’s a lot of empty space, and I can now incorporate that feeling into a lot of the music I play,” she says. “Chinese music also emulates nature in a way. The sound it makes can resemble a horse; you can visualize it. There are many techniques not seen in Western instruments, such as bending the strings or using your five fingers to create a tremolo (颤音). I enjoy telling my friends about it,” she says. Griffith’s friends, who were amazed by her impressions, started attending more Chinese music concerts, wanting to learn more.
Diving into another culture through music makes Griffith value the culture more. She said, “When you learn about a different type of music, it makes you appreciate the culture more. It makes you realize how important it is to be open-minded. I feel more open-minded about why things are the way they are.”
4. What initially drew Griffith to start learning the pipa?
A. Her major in Asian studies. B. The Chinese tone system.
C. The unique sound of the pipa. D. The support from her father.
5. What does the underlined word “emulates” in paragraph 6. mean?
A. Imitate. B. Protect. C. Feature. D. Enrich.
6. What can be inferred from people’s reactions after Griffith’s performances?
A. They were skeptical about her skills.
B. They expected more Chinese elements in her playing.
C. They thought her performance was too traditional.
D. They were impressed by her non-Chinese background playing the pipa.
7. What benefit does Griffith get from learning Chinese music?
A. It has deepened her love for Chinese culture.
B. It has developed her critical thinking.
C. It has promoted her Chinese learning.
D. It has made her more interested in Western music.
C
Climate change and habitat loss are affecting animal populations around the world, and reptiles (爬行动物) such as South Australia’s endangered pygmy bluetongue lizards (蜥蜴), are particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures and the long-term trend of decreasing rainfall.
Scientists from Flinders University are dedicated to ensuring a sustainable future for this burrow — dwelling endemic species (Tiliqua adelaidensis) by assessing whether they can fit into cooler and slightly greener locations, which are located below their typical range in the drier and hotter northern regions of the state.
The latest research, presented in a new article in Biology, compared the ability of three separate pygmy bluetongue lizard populations to survive different microclimates in South Australia — between the northern Flinders Ranges near Jamestown, Mid North near Burra, and southern-most translocation (迁移) sites near Tarlee and Kapunda.
The study, led by PhD candidate Deanne Trewartha from the College of Science and Engineering, says moving wildlife in a hotter, drier location to another microclimate can mean exposure to different temperatures, water availability and humidity and needs extensive assessment.
“We need to understand how this species, which is highly dependent on body temperature, adapts to cooler and often wetter seasons in these new environments,” says Trewartha.
Trewartha says the research recently suggests adapting to new sites may take longer than two years for all three populations and may vary with their origins. She says, “These three populations have shown various responses to their new locations, but behavioral variations are not harmful in the long term and may potentially aid animals in adapting to changed environments to increase their chance of survival.”
Mike Gardner, Flinders University Professor of Biodiversity and Ecology, says, “Australia has the highest reptile diversity in the world. With high biodiversity loss, translocation to ‘future — suitable’ sites is becoming increasingly urgent for the conservation of numerous reptile species.”
“Further monitoring of the three populations will continue to see other behavioral variations and the long-term behavioral adaptation periods for translocation,” says Trewartha.
8. What do Flinders University scientists keep doing to the translocated lizards?
A. Preserving their original living places.
B. Introducing more lizard species for them.
C. Ensuring their habitats are free from rainfalls.
D. Monitoring their adaptability to new locations.
9. What is Trewartha’s attitude to the lizards’ behavioral variations?
A. Negative. B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.
10. What does Mike Gardner stress in Paragraph 7?
A. The potential of reptile species.
B. The survival chance of lizards.
C. The necessity of translocation.
D. The high biodiversity in Australia.
11. From which section of a website is the text most probably taken?
A. Technology. B. Environment.
C. Health. D. Tourism.

Social media is a huge part of modern teenage life, offering amazing connection but also risking mental health. While some praise its power to build communities and encourage self-expression, its negative effects are too serious to ignore, requiring us to seriously rethink its role.
On the one hand, social media provides a vital space for young people, especially those from marginalized (边缘化的) groups, to find support and share experiences. It makes it easier to access information and learn about different views. For many, it is also an important outlet for creativity, which can build confidence and a sense of belonging. The ability to keep friendships with people far away is another clear benefit.
However, the negative impacts often seem greater. The main danger is the “perfect life” often shown online. Seeing endless perfect images and lifestyles fuels social comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression. The constant chase for “likes” makes a person’s self-worth depend on public approval, creating huge pressure. Furthermore, cyberbullying (网络欺凌) can cause deep and lasting psychological harm. Sleep problems from late-night scrolling and the addictive design of the apps worsen these issues, harming emotional control during key stages of growth.
Therefore, while social media’s power to connect is clear, its current design is a serious threat to youth mental health. The platforms are built to maximize engagement, often at the cost of well-being, making social pressures and unrealistic expectations worse. The proven increase in anxiety and depression among heavy users highlights this crisis. Acknowledging the benefits is not enough; we must actively reduce the harm. This means teaching young users the skills to navigate (浏览) the digital world safely and healthily, so they don’t become victims of its darker side.
12. What is mentioned as a positive function of social media?

Life in the digital world can be rewarding. It’s convenient to order groceries for pickup, share photographs or music, and keep in touch with family and friends, no matter the distance. ____16____ While digital detoxes, which involve intentionally avoiding digital technologies in the pursuit of balance and digital well-being, are helpful, they often fall short. Here are four strategies to improve digital well-being.
Finding replacement practices. We find that feelings of withdrawal during a digital detox are quite common. For many, reaching for their phones and scrolling (滚屏) has become such a habit that they often don’t realize they are doing it. Many turn to their devices when bored or stressed. ____17____
Strengthening social bonds. ____18____ This inborn desire for connection, however, combined with people’s reliance on technology, can lead to feelings of fear of missing out and anxiety during a digital detox. So, during a digital detox, it is vital to fill your cup with community.
___19___ In today’s fast-paced environment, finding a moment to stop can feel nearly impossible. Yet the ability to just find can allow time for reflection, helping you consider what makes you happy and healthy. Yoga and meditation (冥想) are common ways that detoxers find moments to become more aware of their own thoughts.
Viewing digital well-being as an ongoing journey. Ultimately, digital well-being is a journey. It is not a checklist that, once completed, means you are fulfilled. ____20____ Instead, a successful detox often leaves people feeling introspective (反省的) and curious. Importantly, set and monitor goals to adapt to changing needs over time.
A. Emphasizing mindfulness.
B. However, it can also be tiring.
C. Being aware of different thoughts.
D. Humans are naturally social creatures.
E. A single detox isn’t enough to cure digital imbalance.
F. Therefore, finding an alternative to occupy their hands can be crucial.
G. These replacements often involve hobbies or activities resulting in play.

Thinking it over, I decided to still use the course as a ____29____ of improving——I’d never danced and had much to learn.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
