Debra Des Vignes spent more than a decade as an on-air news reporter in small markets across the
US.For most of that time,she covered crime.It wasn't until later that she realized she didn't know the
full story of the people she was covering.
Des Vignes had always wanted to volunteer at a prison to better understand the people behind the
stories she covered.The opportunity came in 2017 when she met a co-worker whose husband worked for
the local prison.Des Vignes volunteered to teach a class about victims'experiences,which was intended
to help criminals see the consequences of their crimes from the victim's perspective.
"I think society has that image of TV and movies and what that represents,and how a criminal is
supposed to act or behave with anger,"Des Vignes said."I found the exact opposite."
During the course,Des Vignes decided to depart from the curriculum and have the prisoners write a
letter to their victim.Des Vignes said she witnessed these men open up in ways they hadn't before and
write some very impactful letters.
That class inspired Des Vignes to start her own nonprofit to focus on writing with prisoners.In 2018,
the Prison Writers Workshop was born and has since expanded to eight correctional institutions.
The curriculum,developed by Des Vignes and her all-volunteer team,provides imprisoned students
with a foundation in creative writing through weekly prompts and introduces fiction,non-fiction,poetry,
and play writing.For Des Vignes,the goal is to create a safe space where they can write and openly share.
"Some may want to make sense of their past;some may want to spend an hour and a half in a
positive environment,"Des Vignes said."And some may just want to be heard and felt seen and
welcomed."

Have you ever had a chat with a friend about buying a certain product and then seen an
advertisement for that very product the next day?If so,you might have questioned whether your
smartphone was "listening"to you.It can be quite disturbing to feel as if your private conversations are
being monitored and then used for commercial purposes.
We can surely say that your phone is listening to you through the microphone on your device.It has
to listen to you all the time so that it can hear your voice commands and help you.When you ask Siri to
find something,the information you give is used for targeted advertisements.It's similar to typing
something into a search engine.Once you've provided all the information it needs,it can be used in this
way.
Most of us often reveal our personal information to many different websites and apps.We do this
when we give them certain permissions or allow cookies to track our online behavior.Advertisers can
figure out your daily habits,desires,and needs after they get the information from your cookies.These
companies are always trying to assess how popular their products are and how this popularity changes
based on factors like a customer's age,gender,height,weight,job,and hobbies.
Don't want to be predicted by advertisers?There are some simple tips you can follow to reduce the
amount of data you share online.First,you should regularly check the app permissions on your phone.
Also,think carefully before an app or website asks you for certain permissions or to allow cookies.
Whenever possible,don't use your social media accounts to connect or log into other sites and services.
In most situations,there will be an option to sign up using an email,and you could even use a temporary
email for more privacy.By taking these precautions(预防措施),you can regain some control over your
digital footprint and protect your personal information from being misused.
28.How do advertisers usually acquire users'information?
A.By directly listening to users'face-to-face conversations.
B.By monitoring users'social media interactions without permission.
C.By analyzing the commands users give to their smartphones online.
D.By stealing users'personal information from their email accounts.

29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The influence of app usage on life.
B.The unnoticed online information exposure
C.The hidden data-security problems.
D.The habits of allowing online permission.
30.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To introduce the functions of smartphones'microphones.
B.To criticize advertisers for damaging users'privacy through data collection.
C.To explain how targeted advertisements are generated based on users'information.
D.To warm users about the potential privacy risks of using smartphones and provide solutions.
31.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Taking the suggested precautions can defend users'privacy in some way.
B.Targeted advertisements are always accurate in predicting users'needs.
C.Using social media accounts to log into other sites has no privacy risks.
D.Allowing all app permissions is necessary for a better user experience.

Technology seems to discourage slow,immersive reading.Reading on a screen tires your eyes and
makes it harder to keep your place.So online writing tends to be more skimmable(可浏览的)and
list-like than printed text.
We shouldn't take this danger too seriously.All readers skim,a skill learned in childhood as we
become better readers.Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans
)So far,the concerns have turned out to be false alarms."Quite a few critics have been worried about
attention span lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,"the American author Selvin
Brown wrote."But no one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans."
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read.First,it means that there is more to read,
because more people than ever are writing.Digital writing is designed for rapid release and immediate
response.Online articles quickly attract comments within minutes of publication.This can make writing
and reading more interactive and fun,but people often respond too quickly without thinking much about
others'ideas.The result is a noisy space where everyone talks over everyone else,all desperate to be
heard.
To a slow reader,a piece of writing can only be fully understood by engaging with the words and
slowly following the line of thought.The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for
any new technology to destroy.We often assume that technological change is unstoppable and
one-directional,so that older media like printed books are kicked out by newer digital forms.In practice,
however,older technologies can coexist with new ones.The Kindle and the iPad have not killed off the
printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle.We still want to enjoy carefully-formed ideas
and precisely-chosen words.Even in a fast-moving age,there is time for slow reading.
32.What is the author's attitude towards Selvin Brown's opinion?
A.Objective.
B.Critical.
C.Doubtful.
D.Favorable.
33.What can be inferred about digital reading from Paragraph 3?
A.It requires readers to stay fully immersed.
B.It encourages readers to think more deeply.
C.It leads readers to value responding over reflection.
D.It reduces the amount of information people are exposed to.
34.What does the underlined word"tenacious"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Straight-forward.B.Deep-rooted.
C.Old-fashioned.
D.Well-balanced.
35.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Slow Reading Is Here to Stay
B.Digital Technology Prevents Slow Reading
C.Digital Reading:An Unstoppable Revolution
D.Screen vs.Print:Which Requires Deep Reading

It's obvious that our society favors the outgoing personality,so being introverted (has
always been seen as something that needs to be "fixed".However,there is no fault in being introverted.
36
Introverts have hidden powers.37 While others are busy chatting,introverts observe things
most-people are unaware of.Sometimes we can even read people.While it may seem introverts are
always zoned out,we're actually analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one day share with you.
Introverts also keep the world balanced.In a world that can't stop talking,the ability to listen to what
each other has to say is an important virtue that will assist us in building peaceful relationships of
understanding.38By listening to whatever people pour out,introverts help maintain the order of
the world.
Introverts can self-recharge.Though the outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in crowds,
introverts are self-recharging powerhouses.39Their energy is found through loneliness.
40 In the noise of chatterboxes,their voices often get drowned out.There's nothing more
disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak,only to be interrupted by
the extroverts ()While extroverts may speak every thought that comes to mind,an introvert will
choose their thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their best to share.So next time,all
you have to do is to be willing to listen.
A.Unluckily,introverts are faced with a big challenge.
B.And this is exactly what our introverts are born with.
C.Introverts have shown the potential to be great leaders.
D.Extroverted people would have no one to listen to them.
E.Instead,we should appreciate introverts for various reasons.
F.They don't need to constantly put themselves out there to be lively.
G.Just because we introverts don't say much doesn't always mean we're clueless.

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。
As soon as the chilly winds winter gave way to spring,Sarah,Tom,Mia and I would find ourselves
in our community garden.Armed with a spade ()seed packets,gardening gloves and the secret
smiles that had slept through the long winter,we got to work side by side.Yet this year,the gentle breeze
failed to ease the anxiety in my heart.My father's job transfer meant leaving behind the familiar streets,
saying goodbye to my friends and parting with the Green Ark(),the community garden shaped by
our love and labor.
On the day of our departure,a soft rain fell.With misty eyes,we said our goodbyes.Sarah knew
every plant by heart;Tom built wooden supports with steady hands;Mia painted flower beds with color
and patience;I loved watching seedlings (break through the soil.We had planned an autumn
exhibition,but before summer arrived,I was gone."There will be gardens where you're going,"Sarah
said,tears clouding her eyes.Yes-but none could replace the land we had tended together.
In my new community,people passed one another with few greetings exchanged.Doors closed,
conversations were brief and neighbors remained strangers.There was little sense of shared space or
shared care.So did the garden.Weeds claimed the paths,weathered tools piled in the corner,
and the roses bent low in the wind,lonely and tired.One evening,unable to bear the garden,I called
Sarah and poured out my loss.
Before long,she came to see me,and we met in the garden of my community.Under the mild
afternoon sun,we embraced,laughing in surprise.Then came a familiar sound-the click of tools,the
sound of big scissors.I turned to see Tom and Mia standing there,as if no time had passed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Pressing a spade into my hand,Sarah led us into action.
Seeing the well-tended garden,I decided to hold an exhibition in the community.

Pressing a spade into my hand,Sarah led us into action.We cleared the overgrown weeds first.
Then Tom repaired the wooden supports while Mia painted the weathered garden fence with a fresh coat
of soft green.I hesitated for only a moment before digging in.As we worked,laughter and stories flowed,
just as we had in the Green Ark.The tightness in my chest slowly eased.Neighbors passing by paused,
some even stepping in to help,their initial caution melting into curiosity and then warmth.By sunset,the
garden had shed its untended look,glowing with life and the promise of new blooms.
Seeing the well-tended garden,I decided to hold an exhibition in the commnity.On the exhibition
day,flowers bloomed and people gathered,talking and smiling.To my delight,Sarah,Tom,and Mia
joined us as we set up a display of memories from the Green Ark reborn in this community.The garden,
once a place of loneliness,became a new ark of connection.Neighbors who once passed silently stopped
to chat,and doors that once closed remained open.I was gifted with the realization that it was more than a
garden.It was a shared space,alive with care,friendship and a sense of belonging that would last far
beyond the season.

see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,"the American author Selvin Brown wrote."But no one ever said that
poems were evidence of short attention spans.”(人们对注意力持续时间下降的这类担忧早已屡见不鲜。迄今为止,
这些顾虑最终都被证实是虚惊一场。美国作家塞尔文·布朗写道:“不少评论家近来一直担忧人们的注意力时长,
还将短篇故事视作文化衰落的标志。但从来没人说过诗歌是注意力短暂的佐证。)”可知,作者引用塞尔温·布朗

technology to destroy.We often assume that technological change is unstoppable and one-directional,so that older media
like printed books are kicked out by newer digital forms.In practice,however,older technologies can coexist with new
ones.The Kindle and the iPad have not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle.We still
want to enjoy carefully-formed ideas and precisely-chosen words.Even in a fast-moving age,there is time for slow
reading.(人类对这种深度阅读的需求是如此强烈,以至于任何新技术都无法摧毁它。我们常常认为技术变革是不
可阻挡的、单向的,因此像印刷书籍这样的旧媒体会被更新的数字形式所淘汰。然而,在实践中,旧技术可以与
新技术共存。Kindle和Pad并没有像汽车淘汰自行车那样淘汰印刷书籍。我们仍然想享受精心形成的想法和精
心选择的词语。即使在快节奏的时代,也有时间进行慢阅读)”可知,文章主要讨论了科技对阅读方式的影响,并
强调慢阅读仍有其存在的价值,即使在快节奏的时代,也有时间进行慢阅读。A选项“Slow Reading Is Here to
Stay(慢阅读将会一直存在)'符合题意,适合作为标题。

5
drowned out.There's nothing more disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak,only
to be interrupted by the extroverts ()While extroverts may speak every thought that comes to mind,an introvert
will choose their thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their best to share.So next time,all you have to
do is to be willing to listen.(在喋喋不休者的嘈杂声中,他们的声音常常被淹没。对于内向的人来说,没有什么比利
用这个机会说话却被外向的人打断更让人失望的了。外向的人可能会说出想到的每一个想法,而内向的人会仔细
选择他们的想法,只说出他们认为最适合分享的想法。所以下次,你所要做的就是愿意倾听。)可知,本段主要讲述

巨大的挑战。"与本段内容相符,指的是内向的人有一个巨大的挑战。故选A。
