Behind the hit lies a decade-long journey of persistence.In 2012,Zhang Jianna took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy area of Sanlitun in Beijing's Chaoyang district. A special encounter while working has motivated Zhang to leamn English by herself,which she continues with determination to this day."My goal is quite simple.I just want to help whenever someone is in need,whether asking for directions,visa procedures,or telling them about the embassy area I am responsible for,"said Zhang.

C We all love our parents and turn to them when we're in need,but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue?Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways,so would you add your parents as"friends" and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap,where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind,content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savy(精通技术的).However,.more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them;there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated()when we must accept a"friend"request from a parent or family member. It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives.On the one hand we don't want to "reject"their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide.On the other hand,if you do accept,then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request:"When a teen ignores a parent's friend request,it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something,but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert( their independence.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 28.Why do many parents want to learn about social networking sites? A.Because they are eager to explore technologies. B.Because they are bored with their daily life. C.Because they want to watch their children. D.Because they start to realize their importance. 29.What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents'friend request? A.They have nothing to hide. B.Their privacy cannot be guaranteed. C.They don't want to teach their parents. D.They can't choose friends around them. 30.Why is the survey mentioned in the passage? A.To warn parents. B.To relieve parents. C.To challenge parents D.To criticize parents. 31.What is most likely to be talked about next? A.How to bridge the generation gap. B.How to make friends on social networks. C.How to explain to parents about the rejection. D.How to use the social networking sites wisely. D A new fast-food restaurant,BurgerBot,is getting a lot of attention in the restaurant industry.It hires robots instead of humans to prepare meals.The restaurant features robots that can work non-stop to make burgers without breaks. BurgerBot is part of a growing trend (of robots in the food service industry.The restaurant believes its technology is suitable for tasks that humans aren't interested in,such as making burgers. This development comes when many fast-food restaurants face difficulties in hiring and keeping staff. Robot workers help restaurants run smoothly without dealing with staff problems. The introduction of fully automated (restaurants raises questions about the future of job markets in the food service industry.Fast food has long provided many jobs,especially for people starting their first job or those without higher education.With statements like"the robots are taking our jobs",BurgerBot admits the substitution of human workers but says it's a change we can't avoid.The restaurant sees this shift as progress,not a problem. BurgerBot stresses cleanliness and standardization as key benefits of its robot-made food.By avoiding human contact,the automated system helps lower the risk of food being prepared in an unclean way.It also ensures equal amounts of food are served each time.This reduces the variation that comes with human preparation.However,there are still questions about how customers will respond to the lack of human contact.It remains to be seen whether the standard quality of robot-made food can make up for the loss of the human touch in food preparation. As this technology grows,customers will eventually decide whether cleanliness and standardization are more important than the skill and care that humans put into preparing food. 32.Why does BurgerBot think robots are suitable for some restaurant tasks? A.They work faster than humans B.They make food more creative. C.They do tasks people don't like to do. D.They reduce the cost of hiring human staff. 33.What does the underlined word "substitution"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Replacement. B.Employment. C.Improvement. D.Requirement. 34.How might some customers react to the robots? A.They don't believe robots can make food. B.They dislike food that looks exactly the same. C.They miss the care that people put into cooking. D.They are worried that robots use too much energy. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.How Fast Food Restaurants Develop B.Why Robot-made Food Benefits Health C.Why Human Workers Are Better Than Robots D.How Robots Are Changing Fast Food Service 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many,I travel a lot for work.Unlike many,I never get tired of it.On the open road are always interesting people and new places.36 When I travel,I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants,wait to check into hotels,and on and on. 37 When a line forms,nearly everyone pulls out their phone to kill the time,playing games,checking email,and,especially,scrolling (social media.You might think that this solution must work,but in fact it might not work at all. In one study,researchers found as people's boredom increased,they used their phones more, but it only increased their boredom.Your phone may attract your attention,but after the first few seconds,you may find that it really isn't much more interesting than staring at the wall.38 If this solution is not helpful,looking within ourselves could be a better bet.39 The most common definition of this is a thinking technique in which one continuously focuses on the present moment.You will find that putting down your phone and deliberately (taking note of what you observe will lower the discomfort from boredom. The best way to lower the misery of waiting,then,turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself.40 Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world because it is failing in some way to meet our preferences.But on a moment's reflection,we realize how foolish it is to suppose that it might.To do so is like canoeing(划独木舟)and complaining about the river's bends instead of following them. A.It's about practicing being mindful. B.Meanwhile,it consumes your energy. C.That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. D.The expense and inconvenience of these things are permanent. E.Think of the last time you waited in an airport for a long-delayed flight. F.However,one thing about travel that has bothered me is the constant waiting. G.One waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by device. 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。 Shreya Vemulapalli,a junior at The Harker School,founded nonprofit Cancel Cancer Culture (CCC)in 2023.It aims to41 a community where individuals affected by cancer are connected through sharing stories and having open conversations.
