At just 12 years old, Mia DaPonte has made history by becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in the United States. This honorable title, awarded by organizations like PADI, represents an advanced level of training that most divers never achieve. Mia’s remarkable journey began with a simple inspiration: learning that her mother had been a certified diver since high school.
Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and poor visibility. Earning her initial Open Water Diver certificate required persistence, a quality her instructors immediately recognized. One noted, “She sets her mind to something and gets it done.”
Over the next two years, Mia dedicated herself to the demanding process. PADI courses combine practical diving with classroom study, and Mia progressed through several learning skills like first aid, underwater navigation, and fish identification. Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same courses, providing crucial support. Mia’s commitment is reflected in her 78 logged dives, far more than the 50 required for master certification.
The final step presented a unique challenge: Mia had to wait until she turned 12 to take her last two required courses. To complete the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications, her family traveled to Mexico. There, on her 12th birthday, she passed the advanced course. The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious adult diver — the most difficult task of all.
While proud of her accomplishment, Mia sees it as just the beginning. She plans to pursue further diving education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging and tracking.
4. What made Mia’s early training in Rhode Island particularly difficult?
A. A lack of qualified diving instructors.
B. Challenging storms and currents.
C. Cold and low-visibility water conditions.
D. The absence of required persistence.
5. What was key to Mia’s progress during her two-year training?
A. Her mother’s participation as her partner.
B. The simplicity of the PADI course system.
C. Her natural talent for underwater navigation.
D. Financial support for international travel.
6. What does the word “strenuous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Tough and demanding.
B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Complex and discouraging.
D. Advanced and rewarding.
7. What does Mia’s plan for the future show about her?
A. She is satisfied with her current accomplishment.
B. She views diving only as a personal hobby.
C. She hopes to become a professional diving coach.
D. She aims to connect her passion with science.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍12岁女孩Mia成为美国最年轻女潜水大师的经历与未来规划。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and poor visibility.(尽管米娅很早就对潜水感兴趣,但她必须等到最低10岁才能开始正式训练。在她十岁生日那天,她开始在罗德岛家附近充满挑战的水域训练,这片水域以水温低、能见度差著称)”可知,Mia在罗德岛的早期训练之所以格外艰难,是因为水域寒冷且能见度低。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same courses, providing crucial support.(她的妈妈报名参加了同样的课程,成为她不离不弃的“潜伴”,为她提供了至关重要的支持)”可知,Mia两年训练期间取得进步的关键是妈妈作为搭档陪伴参与。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious adult diver — the most difficult task of all.(第二天,她面临了strenuous的救援潜水员测试,这场测试包含多次潜水,还要展示营救并唤醒昏迷成年潜水员的能力——这是所有任务中最难的一项)”可知,这场测试难度极高、对体能和技能要求严苛,由此推测strenuous意为“艰难的、要求高的”,与“Tough and demanding”意思相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She plans to pursue further diving education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging and tracking.(她计划继续深造潜水相关知识,梦想成为一名海洋生物学家,尤其热衷于通过标记和追踪研究鲨鱼)”可知,Mia想要把自己对潜水的热爱和科学研究结合起来。故选D项。
Children are often exposed to diet culture from a young age and its negative impacts can be long-lasting, according to Virginia Sole-Smith, author of a new book titled Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture.
“Kids, at a very young age, start to become aware of body shaming,” Sole-Smith said. “The main factors of children’s future eating disorder (饮食失调) are kids’ being ashamed of their weight and their history of dieting in childhood.”
In Fat Talk, Sole-Smith argues that one way parents can fight back against this is to take a fresh look at the word “fat”. “We can understand ‘fat’ as just a neutral body descriptor, just like saying tall or short or brown hair, black hair...” Sole-Smith said. “If your child in a bigger body comes to you, and he says, ‘Am I fat?’ you should be honest with him and say, ‘You’re fat.’ And there’s definitely nothing wrong with that. We love your body just the way it is.”
Another suggestion from Sole-Smith is for parents to change conversations with and in front of children at home. “We can say I’m not going to feel ashamed of my body in front of my kids and I’m going to celebrate bodies in all shapes and sizes,” Sole-Smith recommended. Simmons, a parenting expert, added, “So if you have a child who’s in a bigger body, talk about their strengths,” Simmons continued. “Helping our children concentrate on how our bodies work, how they allow us to achieve our goals... these are things we can remind our kids about every single day.”
Often, diet conversations about size can be unavoidable for children, but Simmons said parents can act as a shield between children and some of the most harmful messages behind diet culture. But as children grow older, Simmons encourages parents to be honest with kids about their own struggles and not to pretend they know everything and that kids know nothing about diet culture.
8. What might contribute to children’s future eating disorder?
A. Body shape and peer pressure.
B. Body image and parenting style.
C. Body change and food preference.
D. Body shaming and dieting experience.
9. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Parents should teach their kids honesty.
B. Kids should take pride in being overweight.
C. Parents should give “fat” a positive definition.
D. Kids should make peace with their body image.
10. What should kids focus on according to Simmons?
A. Their body functions. B. Their individual characters.
C. Their physical appearance. D. Their career achievements.
11. Which word has the same meaning as “shield” in the last paragraph?
A. Tutor. B. Supporter. C. Protector. D. Connector.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了饮食文化对孩子产生的负面影响及父母帮助孩子应对这些影响的方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The main factors of children’s future eating disorder (饮食失调) are kids’ being ashamed of their weight and their history of dieting in childhood.(儿童未来饮食失调的主要因素是孩子对自己的体重感到羞耻,以及他们童年时期的节食历史)”可知,身体羞辱和节食经历可能会导致孩子未来饮食失调。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Fat Talk, Sole-Smith argues that one way parents can fight back against this is to take a fresh look at the word “fat”. “We can understand ‘fat’ as just a neutral body descriptor, just like saying tall or short or brown hair, black hair...” Sole-Smith said.(在《肥胖对话》一书中,索尔-史密斯认为,父母反击的一种方式是重新审视“胖”这个词。“我们可以把‘胖’理解为一种中性的身体描述词,就像说高或矮,或棕色头发、黑色头发……”索尔-史密斯说)”可知,父母应该给“胖”一个积极的定义。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Helping our children concentrate on how our bodies work, how they allow us to achieve our goals... these are things we can remind our kids about every single day.(帮助我们的孩子关注我们的身体是如何工作的,它们如何让我们实现目标……这些是我们每天都可以提醒孩子的事情)”可知,根据西蒙斯的说法,孩子们应该关注他们的身体功能。故选A。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Often, diet conversations about size can be unavoidable for children, but Simmons said parents can act as a shield between children and some of the most harmful messages behind diet culture.(通常,关于身材的饮食对话对孩子来说是不可避免的,但西蒙斯说,父母可以在孩子和饮食文化背后一些最有害的信息之间起到shield作用)”可知,父母可以在孩子和饮食文化背后一些最有害的信息之间起到保护作用,由此可推测出shield意为“保护者”,与protector同义。故选C。
We live in an age where every click, scroll, and purchase is tracked, analyzed, and used to serve us a “personalized” world. Algorithms, the invisible architects of this world, promise efficiency and satisfaction—why waste time on irrelevant content when a machine can curate your perfect feed? But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones.
Proponents of algorithms argue that they simply “give people what they want,” framing choice as a democratic(民主的) ideal. Yet this logic is flawed. When a platform learns you prefer conservative news, it stops showing liberal perspectives; if you binge true-crime podcasts, it floods your queue with similar content. Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the “filter bubble”—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers.
Worse, algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy. Outrageous claims and sensational headlines generate more clicks than nuanced analysis, so they rise to the top. A 2023 study found that 68% of users exposed primarily to algorithmic news developed more polarized(两极分化的) political views compared to those who sought out diverse sources intentionally. This isn’t just about information—it’s about how we form opinions. If we never encounter arguments that challenge our beliefs, we lose the muscle of critical thinking.
Defenders counter that users can always “opt out” by adjusting settings or seeking alternative sources. But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them. The burden of effort falls disproportionately(不成比例地) on the user, while platforms profit from our intellectual laziness.
Algorithms are not inherently evil, but their current design serves corporate interests over human flourishing. To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement. The alternative is a world where no one thinks for themselves, because no one has to.
12. What is the main argument of the passage?
A. Algorithms should be banned for spreading misinformation.
B. Personalization harms our ability to think critically.
C. Users are fully responsible for their digital choices.
D. Platforms profit from catering to diverse interests.
13. Why does the author mention the “filter bubble”?
A. To illustrate the narrowing effect of Personalization.
B. To explain how algorithms protect users from harmful content.
C. To praise algorithms for creating a comfortable online space.
D. To compare digital echo chambers with traditional media.
14. What do proponents of algorithmic fail to consider?
A. Users’ ability to easily adjust their settings.
B. The profit motives behind platform design.
C. The passive nature of most digital consumption.
D. The efficiency of personalized content delivery.
15. What does the author suggest to counteract the negative effects of algorithms?
A. Regulating platforms to remove all recommendation systems.
B. Encouraging users to actively engage with diverse viewpoints.
C. Teaching algorithms to prioritize accuracy over engagement.
D. Reducing screen time to avoid digital platforms entirely.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了算法在个性化内容推荐中的角色及其对人们批判性思维和观点多样性的负面影响。算法通过跟踪用户行为提供定制内容,但这也导致用户陷入“过滤气泡”,视野狭窄,批判性思维减弱。作者呼吁用户主动寻求多元观点,以对抗算法的消极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones(但这种便利的代价是高昂的:我们批判性思考的能力以及接触舒适区外观点的能力逐渐被侵蚀)”可知,算法推荐的个性化内容正在损害人们的批判性思维能力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the ‘filter bubble’—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers(随着时间的推移,你的世界观不是通过选择,而是通过设计而缩小。心理学家称之为‘过滤气泡’——一个数字回声室,其中异议被沉默,好奇心枯萎)”可知,随着时间的推移,你的世界观不是通过选择,而是通过设计而缩小,可推理出作者提到“过滤气泡”是为了说明个性化推荐导致用户视野变窄的效果。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them(但这忽略了数字行为的现实:大多数人无意识地滚动,信任算法来引导他们)”可知,算法的支持者没有考虑到大多数数字消费的被动性。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement(为了摆脱这种情况,我们必须重拾主动性——限制屏幕时间,积极寻求相反观点,并要求平台将多样性置于参与度之上)”可知,作者建议用户主动接触多元观点以对抗算法的消极影响。故选B项。
三、七选五
In the age of short videos and bite-sized information, it seems we’re losing the ability to enjoy good books. Reading is no longer a naturally built-in ability; or rather, it has become something that must be relearned. ____16____ The answer is certainly yes. Here are some tips as you take on the challenge of relearning to read.
Cut yourself off from social media.
Making time for relearning to read is no easy task when every extra hour is flooded with social media and other digital addictions.

【答案】16. E 17. C 18. F 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了重新阅读的一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Reading is no longer a naturally built-in ability; or rather, it has become something that must be relearned. (阅读不再是一种天生的本能;或者更准确地说,它已经成为一种必须重新学习的东西。)”和空后“The answer is certainly yes. (答案当然是肯定的。)”可知,空前提到阅读是一种必须重新学习的东西,空后则回答答案是肯定的,故E项“但是,你可能想知道努力是否真正值得。”符合,空后是E项的直接回答,E项在此承上启下,起过渡作用。
【17题详解】
根据空前“So instead of trying to find extra time in your daily routine, cut yourself off from these time-wasting distractions for a short period. This alone will leave your brain longing for something to do. (因此,与其试图在日常安排中寻找额外时间,不如在短时间内切断这些浪费时间的分心之物。仅此一举就会让你的大脑渴望做点事情。)”可知,空前提到可以切断那些浪费时间的分心之物,这样就能让大脑渴望做点事情,故此处C项“然后用阅读来填补那些空白。”符合,大脑想要做点事情,于是就用阅读来填补这一空白。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Read whatever material(读任何的材料)”可知,本段主要介绍阅读的材料,再根据空后“For example, you can begin with children’s science readers or illustrated texts to help the brain gradually readjust to sustained reading. Rediscover reading as entertainment and fun, and it becomes that much easier to get tuned back in. (例如,你可以从儿童科普读物或图文并茂的文本开始,帮助大脑逐渐重新适应持续阅读。重新发现阅读作为一种娱乐和乐趣,这样你就会更容易重新进入状态。)”可知,空后提出了从一些小的有趣的读物开始让大脑适应坚持阅读,从而重新进入阅读的状态,故F项“不要强迫自己读复杂的书,要从小的入手。”符合,紧扣本段标题,并引出后文具体的例子。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Set specific times to start reading. (设定具体的开始阅读的时间。)”和空后“Or just start with 5, 10, or 15 minutes at a time to keep the barrier to entry low. (或者每次只从5分钟、10分钟或15分钟开始,以降低入门的门槛。)”可知,空前提到设定具体的开始阅读时间,空后则提出具体每次开始阅读的时长,且与本空为选择关系,故D项“分散一整天的阅读时间。”符合,对“如何设定时间”进一步解释,不要集中在一段时间,而是要分散开来。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“When there’s a break in the day, pull out your book instead of checking your social media. Turn waiting rooms into learning centers. Turn bus rides into a time to grow your brain. You’ll fall in love with reading before you know it. (当一天中有空闲时间时,拿出你的书,而不是查看社交媒体。把等候室变成学习中心。把公交车乘坐时间变成锻炼大脑的时刻。不知不觉中,你就会爱上阅读。)”可知,本段主要讲利用碎片时间阅读:等候室、乘公交车等,故要做到这一点,就应该随身带书,故A项“随身携带一本书。”符合本段标题,能概括本段内容。

七、读后续写
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。
“Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒). Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.”
The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.”
With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.”
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。
Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.
Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,主要讲述的是Mark在为学校年度艺术展创作海景画时,因意外打翻颜料而毁掉作品,在懊恼与自责中,Mark走出画室,他的好友Alex带着Mark回美术用品室看看还有没有蓝色颜料的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一进储藏室,Mark的心就沉了下去。”可知,第一段可描写Mark看到了什么让他的心沉下去,结合下一段提示的内容可知,他们又是如何解决的没有蓝色颜料的问题并完成画作的。
②由第二段首句内容“两天后,Mark紧张地站在展览会上自己那幅“重生”的画作旁。”可知,第二段可描写这幅重生的画作有什么不同,以及老师和同学们看到后做出什么反应和Mark对此事的感悟。
2.续写线索:储藏室没有“海洋蓝”色——想到混合颜色得到蓝色——调出“海洋蓝”色——完成画作——师生称赞画作——Mark的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①突然想起:strike/hit/occur to/dawn on
②颤抖:trembling/shivering/shaking
③匆忙返回:rushed back/ hurried back/returned hurriedly
情绪类

[高分句型2] New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语)

At just 12 years old, Mia DaPonte has made history by becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in the United States. This honorable title, awarded by organizations like PADI, represents an advanced level of training that most divers never achieve. Mia’s remarkable journey began with a simple inspiration: learning that her mother had been a certified diver since high school.
Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and poor visibility. Earning her initial Open Water Diver certificate required persistence, a quality her instructors immediately recognized. One noted, “She sets her mind to something and gets it done.”
Over the next two years, Mia dedicated herself to the demanding process. PADI courses combine practical diving with classroom study, and Mia progressed through several learning skills like first aid, underwater navigation, and fish identification. Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same courses, providing crucial support. Mia’s commitment is reflected in her 78 logged dives, far more than the 50 required for master certification.
The final step presented a unique challenge: Mia had to wait until she turned 12 to take her last two required courses. To complete the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications, her family traveled to Mexico. There, on her 12th birthday, she passed the advanced course. The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious adult diver — the most difficult task of all.
While proud of her accomplishment, Mia sees it as just the beginning. She plans to pursue further diving education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging and tracking.
4. What made Mia’s early training in Rhode Island particularly difficult?
A. A lack of qualified diving instructors.
B. Challenging storms and currents.
C. Cold and low-visibility water conditions.
D. The absence of required persistence.
5. What was key to Mia’s progress during her two-year training?
A. Her mother’s participation as her partner.

C. Her natural talent for underwater navigation.
D. Financial support for international travel.
6. What does the word “strenuous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Tough and demanding.
B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Complex and discouraging.
D. Advanced and rewarding.
7. What does Mia’s plan for the future show about her?
A. She is satisfied with her current accomplishment.
B. She views diving only as a personal hobby.
C. She hopes to become a professional diving coach.
D. She aims to connect her passion with science.
Children are often exposed to diet culture from a young age and its negative impacts can be long-lasting, according to Virginia Sole-Smith, author of a new book titled Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture.
“Kids, at a very young age, start to become aware of body shaming,” Sole-Smith said. “The main factors of children’s future eating disorder (饮食失调) are kids’ being ashamed of their weight and their history of dieting in childhood.”
In Fat Talk, Sole-Smith argues that one way parents can fight back against this is to take a fresh look at the word “fat”. “We can understand ‘fat’ as just a neutral body descriptor, just like saying tall or short or brown hair, black hair...” Sole-Smith said. “If your child in a bigger body comes to you, and he says, ‘Am I fat?’ you should be honest with him and say, ‘You’re fat.’ And there’s definitely nothing wrong with that. We love your body just the way it is.”
Another suggestion from Sole-Smith is for parents to change conversations with and in front of children at home. “We can say I’m not going to feel ashamed of my body in front of my kids and I’m going to celebrate bodies in all shapes and sizes,” Sole-Smith recommended. Simmons, a parenting expert, added, “So if you have a child who’s in a bigger body, talk about their strengths,” Simmons continued. “Helping our children concentrate on how our bodies work, how they allow us to achieve our goals... these are things we can remind our kids about every single day.”
Often, diet conversations about size can be unavoidable for children, but Simmons said parents can act as a shield between children and some of the most harmful messages behind diet culture. But as children grow older, Simmons encourages parents to be honest with kids about their own struggles and not to pretend they know everything and that kids know nothing about diet culture.
8. What might contribute to children’s future eating disorder?
A. Body shape and peer pressure.
B. Body image and parenting style.
C. Body change and food preference.
D. Body shaming and dieting experience.
9. What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A. Parents should teach their kids honesty.
B. Kids should take pride in being overweight.
C. Parents should give “fat” a positive definition.
D. Kids should make peace with their body image.
10. What should kids focus on according to Simmons?
A. Their body functions. B. Their individual characters.
C. Their physical appearance. D. Their career achievements.
11. Which word has the same meaning as “shield” in the last paragraph?
A. Tutor. B. Supporter. C. Protector. D. Connector.
We live in an age where every click, scroll, and purchase is tracked, analyzed, and used to serve us a “personalized” world. Algorithms, the invisible architects of this world, promise efficiency and satisfaction—why waste time on irrelevant content when a machine can curate your perfect feed? But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones.
Proponents of algorithms argue that they simply “give people what they want,” framing choice as a democratic(民主的) ideal. Yet this logic is flawed. When a platform learns you prefer conservative news, it stops showing liberal perspectives; if you binge true-crime podcasts, it floods your queue with similar content. Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the “filter bubble”—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers.
Worse, algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy. Outrageous claims and sensational headlines generate more clicks than nuanced analysis, so they rise to the top. A 2023 study found that 68% of users exposed primarily to algorithmic news developed more polarized(两极分化的) political views compared to those who sought out diverse sources intentionally. This isn’t just about information—it’s about how we form opinions. If we never encounter arguments that challenge our beliefs, we lose the muscle of critical thinking.
Defenders counter that users can always “opt out” by adjusting settings or seeking alternative sources. But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them. The burden of effort falls disproportionately(不成比例地) on the user, while platforms profit from our intellectual laziness.
Algorithms are not inherently evil, but their current design serves corporate interests over human flourishing. To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement. The alternative is a world where no one thinks for themselves, because no one has to.
12. What is the main argument of the passage?
A. Algorithms should be banned for spreading misinformation.
B. Personalization harms our ability to think critically.
C. Users are fully responsible for their digital choices.
D. Platforms profit from catering to diverse interests.
13. Why does the author mention the “filter bubble”?
A. To illustrate the narrowing effect of Personalization.
B. To explain how algorithms protect users from harmful content.
C. To praise algorithms for creating a comfortable online space.
D. To compare digital echo chambers with traditional media.
14. What do proponents of algorithmic fail to consider?
A. Users’ ability to easily adjust their settings.
B. The profit motives behind platform design.
C. The passive nature of most digital consumption.
D. The efficiency of personalized content delivery.
15. What does the author suggest to counteract the negative effects of algorithms?
A. Regulating platforms to remove all recommendation systems.
B. Encouraging users to actively engage with diverse viewpoints.
C. Teaching algorithms to prioritize accuracy over engagement.
D. Reducing screen time to avoid digital platforms entirely.
三、七选五
In the age of short videos and bite-sized information, it seems we’re losing the ability to enjoy good books. Reading is no longer a naturally built-in ability; or rather, it has become something that must be relearned. ____16____ The answer is certainly yes. Here are some tips as you take on the challenge of relearning to read.
Cut yourself off from social media.
Making time for relearning to read is no easy task when every extra hour is flooded with social media and other digital addictions. So instead of trying to find extra time in your daily routine, cut yourself off from these time-wasting distractions for a short period. This alone will leave your brain longing for something to do. ____17____
Read whatever material.
____18____ For example, you can begin with children’s science readers or illustrated texts to help the brain gradually readjust to sustained reading. Rediscover reading as entertainment and fun, and it becomes that much easier to get tuned back in.
Make relearning to read a part of your schedule.
Set specific times to start reading. ____19____ Or just start with 5, 10, or 15 minutes at a time to keep the barrier to entry low. As your brain rediscovers the habit, your sessions naturally become longer.
____20____
When there’s a break in the day, pull out your book instead of checking your social media. Turn waiting rooms into learning centers. Turn bus rides into a time to grow your brain. You’ll fall in love with reading before you know it.
In short, start your reading journey today and rebuild your brain’s ability to focus. In an era defined by speed, to relearn how to read deeply is, ultimately, to relearn how to think for ourselves.
A. Keep a book on you at all times.
B. Set clear goals for what you read each day.
C. And then you can fill that gap with reading.
D. Break your reading sessions up throughout the day.

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。
“Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒). Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.”
The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.”
With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.”
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。
Paragraph 1: Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition.
