At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of emotional anxiety.
C. Because of financial investment.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Busy hands make a happy heart.
C. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.

C
At first glance, a Formula 1(F1) race seems to be a music festival. Friendship bracelets are exchanged like currency, outfits are coordinated, and signs are lovingly crafted by hand. Outside the circuit gates, fans cheer as drivers pass, hoping for a wave, a glance, or even an autograph (亲笔签名). Inside the fan zone, lines snake like they’re selling limited-edition T-shirts, and the roar of engines is matched only by the screams when a driver steps onstage.
In many ways, F1 drivers are no longer just elite athletes behind the wheel; they’re fashion muses, meme material, and, in the eyes of Gen Z, idols. This rise of emotionally engaged fandom has coincided with a surge in young female fans, and with it, a growing desire to see themselves reflected not just in the crowd but on the track. F1 remains a male-dominated sport, but that absence of females has only amplified (扩大) interest in the women racing just outside the spotlight, and in the people working to change the system from within.
F1 Academy; a new initiative led by former driver Susie Wolff, is a good example. “It’s about challenging the preconception that this is a man’s world. We need to be thankful that we have such a new, young audience and so many female fans because that didn’t exist when I was racing.” Wolff tells Teen Vogue.
For drivers in F1 Academy like Abbi Pulling, on the other hand, that visibility is both an opportunity and a weight. “I’ve been financially independent since I was 16,” she says. “All the expense is from my marketing deals.” The pressure to perform extends beyond the track. “Having a big following on social media is incredible, but it’s also scary, especially when you’re still a teenager just trying to become a better driver.”
Despite its small scale at present, in a sport that has long lacked visible representation for women, F1 Academy is offering something more than promise to young fans. “I always push our social team to make sure we’re creating content that’s inspiring for the next generation, ‘Wolff says. “We want to show them and their parents that there’s a tribe of women making their mark in what’s always been perceived as a male space.”
8. What does the author say about F1 fans at the beginning of the text?
A. They treat the race in an unconventional way.
B. They prefer buying limited-edition T-shirts.
C. They focus mainly on the drivers’ autographs.
D. They enjoy the engine roar more than anything.
9. What does the underlined word “preconception” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Comprehension. B. Prejudice.
C. Truth. D. Assumption.
10. What do we know about Abbi Pulling?
A. She is already an official driver in F1 races.
B. She supports herself through her own earnings.
C. She believes being popular is wonderful and rewarding.
D. She feels social media following helps her concentrate.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. F1 drivers are becoming new idols for Gen Z.
B. F1 races are more like musical festivals than traditional sports events.
C. F1 Academy is turning all young female fans into drivers.
D. F1 Academy is helping female drivers gain popularity despite challenges.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D

When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system.
KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks.
At first, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat through a hydraulic system (液压系统). They discovered that hydraulic losses, which are usually considered a waste of energy, actually produced useful heat. However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. So the researchers wanted to find a way to not only reduce heat loss but also store the heat.
To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in top soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and stays in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor (水蒸气). “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus.
Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a test model to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground.
To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down test models and refining heat distribution control methods. “Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industrial and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes.
12. What is the main goal of the KTU research project?
A. To cut down winter heating costs. B. To collect heat directly from the soil.
C. To make the hydraulic system more efficient. D. To use soil to store heat for future use.
13. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4?
A. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer.
B. Phase change makes heat control possible.
C. Producing heat from wind energy is impossible.
D. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops.
14. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems?
A. Building large heating systems for factories.
B. Reducing heat loss from buildings completely.
C. Applying the technology to residential sectors.
D. Developing test models with improved control.
15. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text?
A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path
B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating
C. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage
D. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段末“So the researchers wanted to find a way to not only reduce heat loss but also store the heat.(因此,研究人员想要找到既能减少热量损失又能储存热量的方法)”及第四段“In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor (水蒸汽). ‘Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.’ says Prof. Ždankus.(在一次实验中,当土壤被加热至沸点时,会发生相变,即液态水会变成水蒸气。‘相变是一种高效的方式。我们注意到,只要水蒸气流动到达的区域,温度就会急剧上升。这意味着能量在流动,并且是可以控制的。’泽丹库斯教授说道)”可知,研究人员通过实验发现相变使得热量控制成为可能。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down test models and refining heat distribution control methods.(为了将这些基于地面的储存系统广泛应用于实际中,研究人员正在开发缩小比例的测试模型,并改进热量分布控制方法)”可知,研究人员为这些系统的实际应用正在开发具有更佳控制功能的测试模型。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system.(考纳斯理工大学 (KTU)的研究人员在我们脚下发现了一个创新的解决方案:利用土壤作为高效的热能储存系统。)”并纵观全文可知,全文围绕“利用地下土壤储存热能”这一新研究展开,C项The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage契合主旨。

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。
Algorithms (算法) on social media are one of the tools used by technology companies on the apps, games and websites we use every day. They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites. ____16____
The Negative Side of Algorithms
The algorithm grabs your attention in numerous ways. Humans naturally seek connection from others, so each time you receive a “like” or a friendly comment on your posts, it releases a substance in your brain called dopamine (多巴胺) that gives you a happy feeling. The trouble is, these brief highs can be followed with a low that leaves you searching more. ____17____ This can strengthen beliefs, because no one is offering a different opinion.
What’s the Solution?
If you are on social media then there are ways to mitigate (缓解) the negative effects;
Have a time limit
____18____. A study found that people who deactivated social media reported greater levels of happiness and life satisfaction, and lower levels of depression and anxiety.
Notice your mood
Check in with yourself before, during and after using social media. ____19____ Notice the curiosity and desire that tempts you to keep clicking. From time to time, ask yourself, do you really want to look at this, or is there something else you would prefer to be doing?
____20____
Save likes and comments for your close friends, but don’t engage with content unless you really need to. This keeps a healthy distance between you and the algorithm. Avoid caring about negative content too much, as this can help you feel uplifted rather than depressed.
A. Engage carefully
B. Ignore negative comments
C. Find out how you are feeling when scrolling
D. Putting your mental health to the top priority is essential
E. But in doing so, they can influence your thinking as well
F. Limiting social media use to thirty minutes daily may help
G. Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (回声室)
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了社交媒体算法的运作方式及其负面影响,包括制造“回声室”效应,并提出了缓解负面影响的几种方法,如限制使用时间、关注情绪和谨慎互动。
【16题详解】
上文“They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites.(它们向你展示你喜欢的内容,以便你花更多时间在他们的网站上)”指出算法通过推送喜欢的内容来增加用户停留时间,E选项“But in doing so, they can influence your thinking as well.(但这样做,它们也会影响你的思维)”与上文构成转折关系,指出算法除了影响用户行为外,还会影响用户的思维方式;下文分别介绍了算法的负面影响(如回声室效应)和解决方案,与E选项中的“influence your thinking”相呼应,上下文逻辑连贯。
【17题详解】
上文“The trouble is, these brief highs can be followed with a low that leaves you searching more.(问题在于,这些短暂的兴奋过后可能伴随着低谷,让你更加渴望获得更多的点赞和评论)”指出多巴胺的短暂兴奋会带来后续的低落,G选项“Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (回声室) (算法还通过将人们拉入“回声室”来运作)”与上文构成并列关系,指出算法的另一种运作方式——制造回声室效应,照应小标题中“The Negative Side”;同时,下文“This can strengthen beliefs, because no one is offering a different opinion.(这会强化人们的信念,因为没有人提供不同的意见)”解释了回声室效应的后果——信念被强化,与G选项中的“echo chambers”直接呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【18题详解】
上文“Have a time limit(设定时间限制)”是本部分的小标题,指出要限制社交媒体使用时间,F选项“Limiting social media use to thirty minutes daily may help(每天将社交媒体使用限制在三十分钟以内可能会有帮助)”承接上文,具体给出了时间限制的建议;下文“A study found that people who deactivated social media reported greater levels of happiness and life satisfaction...(一项研究发现,停用社交媒体的人报告了更高水平的幸福感和生活满意度……)”通过研究结果进一步说明了减少社交媒体使用带来的积极效果,与F选项中的“limiting social media use”相呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【19题详解】
上文“Check in with yourself before, during and after using social media.(在使用社交媒体之前、期间和之后都要关注自己的状态)”建议在使用社交媒体时自我觉察,C选项“Find out how you are feeling when scrolling(了解你在浏览时的感受)”承接上文,具体说明了自我觉察的内容;下文“Notice the curiosity and desire that tempts you to keep clicking.(留意那些诱使你不断点击的好奇心和欲望)”进一步细化自我觉察的具体方面,与C选项中的“how you are feeling”相呼应,上下文语意连贯。
【20题详解】
设空处为段落小标题,需概括本段内容。下文“Save likes and comments for your close friends, but don’t engage with content unless you really need to.(把点赞和评论留给亲密的朋友,除非真的有必要,否则不要与内容互动)”和“Avoid caring about negative content too much(避免过多关注负面内容)”等建议的核心是谨慎选择与内容的互动方式。A选项“Engage carefully(谨慎互动)”准确概括了本段主旨,点明要与算法保持健康距离、有选择性地互动,符合小标题格式。

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。
On the morning of her seventh birthday, Chinese-American girl Mulan awoke feeling excited. All she had dreamed of for months was a bicycle of her very own — a red one, swift as the wind. When she dashed downstairs and saw the large, ribbon-topped box waiting, her heart soared. Inside gleamed the most perfect bike she could imagine. “It’s magnificent!” she cried, giving it a test spin around the kitchen tiles. She named it “Comet (彗星)” on the spot.
That very afternoon, the school carnival was buzzing with noise and music. Mulan rode Comet proudly alongside her best friends, Lily and Chloe. When Lily spotted a stand selling personalized bike license plates (牌照), the idea was irresistible. “We have to get matching ones!” she exclaimed. The three girls hurried over, their coins clutched tightly.
Lily and Chloe found their names in an instant among the neat rows of letters. But Mulan scanned the display again and again. ADAM, AMY, ANNA... her eyes moved down the alphabet, past the MACs and MONAs, but her name was nowhere to be seen. A small knot of disappointment tightened in her stomach.
“Excuse me,” she asked the stand attendant, “are there any more plates in the back?”
The man shook his head, barely looking up from his newspaper. “Please, could you check?” Mulan insisted, her voice hopeful. He sighed. “What’s the name?” Mulan,” she said clearly. He frowned. “Come again? Spell it.” M—U—L—A—N, she spelled out, each letter feeling heavier than the last.
To her horror, a snicker (暗笑) came from behind her. Zac, a boy from the grade above, was watching. “Of course they don’t have it,” he called out. “It’s not even a real name! MOO-lan! Sounds like a cow!” A few other kids nearby giggled. Mulan’s checks flamed, and the world seemed to shrink to the sound of that cruel version of her name. Tears filled her eyes as she fled, leaving the stand and the laughter behind.
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。
The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!”

Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!” Tears streaming down her face, she recounted Zac’s cruel words to her mother. Her mother hugged her gently and said, “Your name is a beautiful gift from your ancestors. It means bravery.” To help her embrace it, they spent the evening creating a unique, hand-painted license plate. With every brushstroke of bright red and gold paint, Mulan’s sadness slowly melted away, replaced by a growing sense of pride in her cultural identity.
Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning. As she rode Comet down the street, the vibrant colors of her new plate proudly displayed her true self. When Zac saw it at the school gate, his mocking smile instantly faded into an awkward silence. Mulan held her head high, no longer feeling embarrassed or ashamed. She realized her name was not something to be laughed at, but a precious treasure that made her stand out just like her beloved bicycle.

At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $ 130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being.
Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.
She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings.
When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures.
Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.
4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture?
A. Because of a sports injury.
B. Because of emotional anxiety.
C. Because of financial investment.
D. Because of a firm’s recommendation.
5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach?
A. It relied on surroundings over needles.
B. It used finger pressure instead of needles.
C. It combined examination with assessment.
D. It prioritized observation over communication.
6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture?
A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful.
7. What does the author learn from her experience?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Busy hands make a happy heart.
C. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.

At first glance, a Formula 1(F1) race seems to be a music festival. Friendship bracelets are exchanged like currency, outfits are coordinated, and signs are lovingly crafted by hand. Outside the circuit gates, fans cheer as drivers pass, hoping for a wave, a glance, or even an autograph (亲笔签名). Inside the fan zone, lines snake like they’re selling limited-edition T-shirts, and the roar of engines is matched only by the screams when a driver steps onstage.
In many ways, F1 drivers are no longer just elite athletes behind the wheel; they’re fashion muses, meme material, and, in the eyes of Gen Z, idols. This rise of emotionally engaged fandom has coincided with a surge in young female fans, and with it, a growing desire to see themselves reflected not just in the crowd but on the track. F1 remains a male-dominated sport, but that absence of females has only amplified (扩大) interest in the women racing just outside the spotlight, and in the people working to change the system from within.
F1 Academy; a new initiative led by former driver Susie Wolff, is a good example. “It’s about challenging the preconception that this is a man’s world. We need to be thankful that we have such a new, young audience and so many female fans because that didn’t exist when I was racing.” Wolff tells Teen Vogue.
For drivers in F1 Academy like Abbi Pulling, on the other hand, that visibility is both an opportunity and a weight. “I’ve been financially independent since I was 16,” she says. “All the expense is from my marketing deals.” The pressure to perform extends beyond the track. “Having a big following on social media is incredible, but it’s also scary, especially when you’re still a teenager just trying to become a better driver.”
Despite its small scale at present, in a sport that has long lacked visible representation for women, F1 Academy is offering something more than promise to young fans. “I always push our social team to make sure we’re creating content that’s inspiring for the next generation, ‘Wolff says. “We want to show them and their parents that there’s a tribe of women making their mark in what’s always been perceived as a male space.”

When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy (热能) storage system.
KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks.
At first, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat through a hydraulic system (液压系统). They discovered that hydraulic losses, which are usually considered a waste of energy, actually produced useful heat. However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. So the researchers wanted to find a way to not only reduce heat loss but also store the heat.
To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in top soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and stays in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor (水蒸气). “Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus.
Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a test model to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground.
To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down test models and refining heat distribution control methods. “Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industrial and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes.
12. What is the main goal of the KTU research project?
A. To cut down winter heating costs. B. To collect heat directly from the soil.
C. To make the hydraulic system more efficient. D. To use soil to store heat for future use.
13. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4?
A. Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer.
B. Phase change makes heat control possible.
C. Producing heat from wind energy is impossible.
D. Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops.
14. What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems?
A. Building large heating systems for factories.
B. Reducing heat loss from buildings completely.
C. Applying the technology to residential sectors.
D. Developing test models with improved control.
15. Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text?
A. From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path
B. Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating
C. The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage
D. A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain

Algorithms (算法) on social media are one of the tools used by technology companies on the apps, games and websites we use every day. They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites. ____16____
The Negative Side of Algorithms
The algorithm grabs your attention in numerous ways. Humans naturally seek connection from others, so each time you receive a “like” or a friendly comment on your posts, it releases a substance in your brain called dopamine (多巴胺) that gives you a happy feeling. The trouble is, these brief highs can be followed with a low that leaves you searching more. ____17____ This can strengthen beliefs, because no one is offering a different opinion.
What’s the Solution?
If you are on social media then there are ways to mitigate (缓解) the negative effects;
Have a time limit
____18____. A study found that people who deactivated social media reported greater levels of happiness and life satisfaction, and lower levels of depression and anxiety.
Notice your mood
Check in with yourself before, during and after using social media. ____19____ Notice the curiosity and desire that tempts you to keep clicking. From time to time, ask yourself, do you really want to look at this, or is there something else you would prefer to be doing?
____20____
Save likes and comments for your close friends, but don’t engage with content unless you really need to. This keeps a healthy distance between you and the algorithm. Avoid caring about negative content too much, as this can help you feel uplifted rather than depressed.
A. Engage carefully
B. Ignore negative comments
C. Find out how you are feeling when scrolling
D. Putting your mental health to the top priority is essential
E. But in doing so, they can influence your thinking as well
F. Limiting social media use to thirty minutes daily may help
G. Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (回声室)

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。
On the morning of her seventh birthday, Chinese-American girl Mulan awoke feeling excited. All she had dreamed of for months was a bicycle of her very own — a red one, swift as the wind. When she dashed downstairs and saw the large, ribbon-topped box waiting, her heart soared. Inside gleamed the most perfect bike she could imagine. “It’s magnificent!” she cried, giving it a test spin around the kitchen tiles. She named it “Comet (彗星)” on the spot.
That very afternoon, the school carnival was buzzing with noise and music. Mulan rode Comet proudly alongside her best friends, Lily and Chloe. When Lily spotted a stand selling personalized bike license plates (牌照), the idea was irresistible. “We have to get matching ones!” she exclaimed. The three girls hurried over, their coins clutched tightly.
Lily and Chloe found their names in an instant among the neat rows of letters. But Mulan scanned the display again and again. ADAM, AMY, ANNA... her eyes moved down the alphabet, past the MACs and MONAs, but her name was nowhere to be seen. A small knot of disappointment tightened in her stomach.
“Excuse me,” she asked the stand attendant, “are there any more plates in the back?”
The man shook his head, barely looking up from his newspaper. “Please, could you check?” Mulan insisted, her voice hopeful. He sighed. “What’s the name?” Mulan,” she said clearly. He frowned. “Come again? Spell it.” M—U—L—A—N, she spelled out, each letter feeling heavier than the last.
To her horror, a snicker (暗笑) came from behind her. Zac, a boy from the grade above, was watching. “Of course they don’t have it,” he called out. “It’s not even a real name! MOO-lan! Sounds like a cow!” A few other kids nearby giggled. Mulan’s checks flamed, and the world seemed to shrink to the sound of that cruel version of her name. Tears filled her eyes as she fled, leaving the stand and the laughter behind.
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。
The moment she got home, Mulan shouted, “I’m done with being called Mulan!”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her handmade plate on the bike, Mulan left for school early in the morning.
