I stepped inside, greeted by the scent of aging paper and leather. As I walked through the narrow aisles, my fingers brushed against the spines of books that had stood there long before I was born. I sat on a chair that was a bit unsteady, just as it was ten years ago. Why do we feel such a profound pull toward the physical objects of history in an age when everything is digitized on a screen? Perhaps it is because a screen offers information, but a book offers a soul. In these margins, I saw faint pencil marks left by previous readers — a question mark here, an underlined sentence there. These were the echoes of strangers, a silent conversation across decades. The sunlight came through the dust in the air, turning it into a shining veil of gold. It was a beautiful place of deep thoughts where time felt suspended in amber (琥珀). We live in a culture of “now”, focused on the immediate and the loud. We rush toward the future, abandoning our memories like old skin. However, standing in that quiet corner, I realized that progress without reflection is merely movement without direction. We need these silent spaces to remind us that our individual stories are but single threads in a vast, interconnected tapestry (织锦) of human experience. Leaving the library, I felt a strange sense of grounding. The world outside was still loud, and my phone still buzzed with urgency. But I carried a piece of that stillness with me. I learned that to look back is not always to retreat (退缩); sometimes, it is the only way to find the strength to move forward. The old books didn’t just tell me stories; they reminded me who I am when the world stops asking me to be someone else. 4. What does the author think of the town’s old library? A. It is in need of urgent repair. B. It has been forgotten completely. C. It serves people in a modern way. D. It connects the past and the present. 5. What do the pencil marks in the books represent to the author? A. A silent dialogue across time. B. Essential materials to focus on. C. Damage caused by careless readers. D. The difference between paper and screens. 6. What can we learn from the author’s reflection? A. Silent spaces are unique. B. Future is more important. C. Progress needs self-reflection. D. Memories surely fade away. 7. What did the author learn from the visit to the library? A. Reading paper books is the best way to rest. B. The past can provide strength for the future. C. Technology disconnects us from our true selves. D. Old books are more valuable than modern ones. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者在旧图书馆中的体验与感悟，强调了实体书籍和安静空间连接过去与现在、促进自我反思的价值，并指出回顾过去是前进的力量源泉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The heavy oak doors of the town’s old library swung open with a familiar, rhythmic sound that seemed to bridge the gap between my crazy present and the forgotten past. (镇上老图书馆那扇沉重的橡木门打开了，发出一种熟悉而有节奏的声音，似乎在我疯狂的现在和被遗忘的过去之间架起了一座桥梁。)”可知，作者认为旧图书馆连接了过去与现在。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In these margins, I saw faint pencil marks left by previous readers — a question mark here, an underlined sentence there. These were the echoes of strangers, a silent conversation across decades.(在这些空白处，我看到了以前的读者留下的模糊的铅笔记号——这里有一个问号，那里有一个下划线。这些是陌生人的回响，一场跨越几十年的无声对话。)”可知，书中的铅笔标记代表跨越时间的无声对话。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, standing in that quiet corner, I realized that progress without reflection is merely movement without direction. (然而，站在那个安静的角落，我意识到没有反思的进步仅仅是毫无方向的移动。)”可知，从作者的反思中我们可以学到，进步需要自我反思。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I learned that to look back is not always to retreat; sometimes, it is the only way to find the strength to move forward.(我明白，回头不一定就是退缩；有时，它是找到前进力量的唯一途径。)”可知，作者从图书馆之行中学到过去可以为未来提供力量。 C Among Generation Alpha, which includes those born between 2010 and 2025, the oldest are just attending high school. But by examining their attitudes and perspectives today, we can get a clearer picture of tomorrow. Globally, Gen Alpha kids account for 27% of their household inessential spending and drive nearly a third of digital spending, partly deciding what a family streams and purchases online, and the brands they support. While Gen Z was the first digitally native generation, Gen Alpha is the first generation to grow up in a super-connected world, where artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role, making technology an extension of themselves rather than something special that they use sporadically. As a result, it will influence how they learn, work, and live their daily lives. Unlike some previous generations, many of Gen Alpha will become financially literate in their early years. A study by Acorns shows that approximately 41% of those between the ages of 6 and 14 are already saving and investing for various long-term goals, such as cars, college, homes, or retirement. While most of Gen Alpha won’t be purchasing houses until the 2030s, considering the way they’re raised, they will desire housing featuring smart technology with environmental sustainability. However, with reduced construction, home purchases may be out of their reach, resulting in longer rental periods, smaller houses, close living arrangements, or multi-generational co-housing. Additionally, climate change like increasing temperatures and wildfires may affect the choices of settlements. It’s still too early to understand the earnings potential for Gen Alpha, and they will face enormous labor shifts as automation and AI will replace many jobs. While experts predict an increase in remote work, startups, and the gig economy (零工经济), with a focus on flexibility, innovation, and cross-cultural communication, it is agreed that many of their jobs don’t exist yet. So the best way to get ready for Gen Alpha’s impact is to consider how their values will shape the economic and investment landscape. 8. What does the underlined word “sporadically” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Patiently. B. Secretly. C. Occasionally. D. Frequently. 9. What does the study by Acorns indicate? A. The effect of financial education. B. The importance of long-term goals. C. The purpose of Gen Alpha’s investments. D. The financial awareness of Gen Alpha. 10. Which of the following may best satisfy Gen Alpha? A. A smart apartment in the town. B. A historic flat in the city center. C. A well-decorated house by the coast. D. A wooden cottage in the deep forest. 11. What does the author suggest to get prepared for Gen Alpha’s influence? A. Reshaping Gen Alpha’s world views. B. Continuing to develop AI technology. C. Making financial planning in advance. D. Adjusting to Gen Alpha’s viewpoints. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了阿尔法一代（2010-2025年出生）的特征、消费习惯、财务意识、住房偏好以及未来面临的就业挑战。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“While Gen Z was the first digitally native generation, Gen Alpha is the first generation to grow up in a super-connected world, where artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role, making technology an extension of themselves rather than something special that they use sporadically. (Z世代是第一代数字原住民，而阿尔法一代是在一个超连接世界中长大的第一代，人工智能将发挥重要作用，使技术成为他们自身的延伸，而不是他们sporadically使用的特殊东西)”和下文“As a result, it will influence how they learn, work, and live their daily lives.(因此，它将影响他们的学习、工作和日常生活)”可知，阿尔法一代将技术视为自身的延伸，技术将影响他们的学习、工作和日常生活，说明技术并不是偶尔使用；故划线词意为“偶尔地”，与“Occasionally”同义。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Unlike some previous generations, many of Gen Alpha will become financially literate in their early years. A study by Acorns shows that approximately 41% of those between the ages of 6 and 14 are already saving and investing for various long-term goals, such as cars, college, homes, or retirement. (与前几代人不同的是，阿尔法一代中的许多人在早年就具备了财务知识。Acorns的一项研究显示，大约41%的6至14岁儿童已经在为各种长期目标进行储蓄和投资，如汽车、大学、住房或退休)”可知，这项研究表明阿尔法一代具有财务意识。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“While most of Gen Alpha won’t be purchasing houses until the 2030s, considering the way they’re raised, they will desire housing featuring smart technology with environmental sustainability. (虽然大多数阿尔法一代要到21世纪30年代才会买房，但考虑到他们的成长方式，他们会希望拥有具有智能技术和环境可持续性的住房)”可知，配备智能技术的公寓最能满足阿尔法一代的住房需求。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So the best way to get ready for Gen Alpha’s impact is to consider how their values will shape the economic and investment landscape. (因此，为阿尔法一代的影响做好准备的最佳方式是考虑他们的价值观将如何塑造经济和投资格局)”可知，作者建议调整以适应阿尔法一代的观点。 D Australia’s beloved dolphin populations face growing pressures from environmental change and human activity. These pressures increase the need for simple, reliable, and non-invasive (非侵入的) tools to monitor dolphin health and support conservation and management. Because dolphins live mostly underwater, traditional health checks are often difficult, and new methods are needed to reduce risk to the animals while still providing useful data. In a new study published in the Journal of Thermal Biology, marine mammal experts from Flinders University analyzed more than 40,000 thermal images (热图像). The study tested whether drones (无人机) with thermal cameras could accurately measure dolphin surface temperature and breathing rates without contact or invasive methods. The research focused on whether these drone measurements were reliable enough for real health monitoring. “Monitoring the health of dolphins is important for assessing environmental impacts and supporting conservation,” says PhD candidate Charlie White from the Cetacean Ecology, Behaviour and Evolution Lab (CEBEL) at Flinders University. She explains that traditional methods often require capture or restraint, which can be stressful for dolphins and hard to carry out. Under optimal flight conditions of 10 to 15 meters directly overhead, the team confirmed that drone measurements were accurate enough to detect meaningful changes in surface temperature and breathing rate, both key indicators of health. The researchers worked with 14 bottlenose dolphins under human care at Queensland’s Sea World. They flew drones at different heights and compared drone thermal readings with close-range temperature measurements to check accuracy. The results showed that drones could reliably measure heat from the dolphins’ blowholes, body surfaces, and dorsal fins (背鳍), and could also accurately count breathing rates. Senior author Associate Professor Guido Parra says the study shows that drone-based infrared thermography is a promising tool for wildlife health assessment. The findings suggest that this method can provide safer and less invasive monitoring of marine mammals in both managed care and wild settings. With further testing under a wider range of wild conditions, this approach has strong potential to support dolphin conservation while reducing stress and harm to the animals. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Tour value growth. B. The need for new tools. C. Environmental threats. D. Dolphin number change. 13. What is Charlie White’s attitude towards old checking methods? A. Negative. B. Approving. C. Tolerant. D. Ambiguous. 14. How did the researchers confirm the accuracy of the drone thermal data? A. By collecting blood samples from the dolphins. B. By placing thermal cameras underwater for retesting. C. By comparing it with close-range temperature readings. D. By tracking whether the dolphins’ feeding behavior changed. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Drone Images Guide Marine Care B. Drone Monitoring Helps Dolphins C. Sea World Trials Reshape Animal Science D. Modern Equipment Boosts Dolphin Population 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究人员利用带有热成像相机的无人机来监测海豚健康状况，以替代传统侵入性方法。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Australia’s beloved dolphin populations face growing pressures from environmental change and human activity. These pressures increase the need for simple, reliable, and non-invasive (非侵入的) tools to monitor dolphin health and support conservation and management. Because dolphins live mostly underwater, traditional health checks are often difficult, and new methods are needed to reduce risk to the animals while still providing useful data. (澳大利亚备受喜爱的海豚种群正面临环境变化和人类活动带来的日益增大的压力。这些压力增加了对简便、可靠且非侵入性工具的需求，用以监测海豚健康，并为保护和管理工作提供支持。由于海豚大多生活在水下，传统的健康检查往往很困难，因此需要新的方法，既能减少对动物的风险，又能提供有用的数据)”可知，第一段主要讲述了需要新工具的原因。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She explains that traditional methods often require capture or restraint, which can be stressful for dolphins and hard to carry out. (她解释说，传统方法通常需要捕获或限制海豚，这对海豚来说压力很大，而且难以实施)”可知，Charlie White对旧方法持否定态度。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They flew drones at different heights and compared drone thermal readings with close-range temperature measurements to check accuracy. (他们在不同高度飞行无人机，并将无人机的热读数与近距离温度测量值进行比较以检查准确性)”可知，研究人员通过将无人机热数据与近距离温度读数进行比较来确认其准确性。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Australia’s beloved dolphin populations face growing pressures from environmental change and human activity. These pressures increase the need for simple, reliable, and non-invasive (非侵入的) tools to monitor dolphin health and support conservation and management.(澳大利亚备受喜爱的海豚种群正面临环境变化和人类活动带来的日益增大的压力。这些压力增加了对简便、可靠且非侵入性工具的需求，用以监测海豚健康，并为保护和管理工作提供支持)”、第二段“The study tested whether drones (无人机) with thermal cameras could accurately measure dolphin surface temperature and breathing rates without contact or invasive methods. (该研究测试了配备热成像相机的无人机是否能够在无需接触或使用侵入性方法的情况下，准确测量海豚的表面温度和呼吸频率)”和最后一段“the study shows that drone-based infrared thermography is a promising tool for wildlife health assessment. (研究表明，基于无人机的红外热成像技术是评估野生动物健康的一种有前景的工具)”可知，文章主要介绍了利用无人机监测来帮助海豚健康保护的方法。故B项“Drone Monitoring Helps Dolphins (无人机监测帮助海豚)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The risks of oversharing on social media We share a lot online — holidays, birthdays, updates, even lunch.

He enjoyed taking evening walks, observing the small details of community life. One day, one house caught his attention — the home of John, an elderly man who lived alone. Mike often saw him sitting on the porch (门廊), watching the world go by. Over several weeks, Mike noticed that John’s hair was becoming increasingly long and very messy. It was clear he had not visited a barber in a long time. One Saturday morning, Mike decided to introduce himself. He walked up to the porch with a friendly smile. John welcomed him warmly, and they talked for nearly half an hour. Mike learned that John had trouble walking due to severe arthritis (关节炎) in his knees, making even short trips difficult. Going to the barbershop, which was several blocks away, was almost impossible for him. John also mentioned, with a hint of embarrassment, that his low income made regular services a financial burden. Mike felt a strong urge to help. He remembered a local barber, Mr Rossi, who sometimes visited his own grandfather. An idea began to form in his mind. He didn’t mention it to John, wanting to see if it was possible first. The next day, Mike visited Rossi’s barbershop. He explained the situation to the barber, a kind man in his fifties. Mike wondered if he would be willing to make a house call for a reduced fee. Mr Rossi listened quietly, cleaning his scissors. He admired Mike’s concern for his neighbor. After a moment, he agreed. “I close the shop on Wednesday afternoons,” he said. “I can visit him then. And don’t worry about the cost. A simple haircut for a good cause is enough payment for me.” Mike was overjoyed. He thanked Mr Rossi and left, saying that he would lead Rossi to John’s home. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Mike rushed back to John’s house with the good news. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After lunch on Wednesday afternoon, Mike went to Mr Rossi’s barbershop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mike rushed back to John’s house with the good news. He found the old man, who looked up from his usual chair on the porch. “Mr Rossi, the barber, has agreed to come here to give you a free haircut next Wednesday,” Mike explained, feeling happy. John’s eyes softened, filled with gratitude. He thanked Mike repeatedly, his voice trembling slightly. Seeing the elderly man’s reaction, Mike knew he had done the right thing by reaching out to help. They chatted for a few minutes before Mike left, already looking forward to the coming visit. After lunch on Wednesday afternoon, Mike went to Mr Rossi’s barbershop. Together, they walked to John’s home, carrying a small bag of tools. Mr Rossi, who was experienced and gentle, made John feel at ease while he carefully cut his hair. John sat comfortably, enjoying the long-missed service. Seeing John’s new appearance and bright smile, Mike realized how a simple act of kindness could warm the neighborhood. When the haircut was finished, John looked refreshed and thanked them both, his heart warmed by their kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以邻里互助为线索展开，讲述了Mike注意到邻居John因关节炎和低收入无法去理发店，便联系理发师Mr Rossi上门免费服务，最终帮助John解决了困难，传递了温暖。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Mike告知好消息时John的反应和两人的互动。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写理发师上门服务的经过以及Mike的感悟。 2. 续写线索：告知消息 → John感动 → 期待 → 周三下午Mike带理发师上门 → 理发 → John焕然一新 → Mike感悟善意温暖社区 3. 词汇激活 行为类： 伸出援手：reach out → extend a hand 意识到：realize → be aware of 情绪类： 高兴：happy → delighted/joyful 感激：gratitude → appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】He found the old man, who looked up from his usual chair on the porch.(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】Seeing John’s new appearance and bright smile, Mike realized how a simple act of kindness could warm the neighborhood.(运用了现在分词短语“Seeing John’s new appearance and bright smile”作状语以及how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 英语样卷（一） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B The heavy oak doors of the town’s old library swung open with a familiar, rhythmic sound that seemed to bridge the gap between my crazy present and the forgotten past. I stepped inside, greeted by the scent of aging paper and leather. As I walked through the narrow aisles, my fingers brushed against the spines of books that had stood there long before I was born. I sat on a chair that was a bit unsteady, just as it was ten years ago. Why do we feel such a profound pull toward the physical objects of history in an age when everything is digitized on a screen? Perhaps it is because a screen offers information, but a book offers a soul. In these margins, I saw faint pencil marks left by previous readers — a question mark here, an underlined sentence there. These were the echoes of strangers, a silent conversation across decades. The sunlight came through the dust in the air, turning it into a shining veil of gold. It was a beautiful place of deep thoughts where time felt suspended in amber (琥珀). We live in a culture of “now”, focused on the immediate and the loud. We rush toward the future, abandoning our memories like old skin. However, standing in that quiet corner, I realized that progress without reflection is merely movement without direction. We need these silent spaces to remind us that our individual stories are but single threads in a vast, interconnected tapestry (织锦) of human experience. Leaving the library, I felt a strange sense of grounding. The world outside was still loud, and my phone still buzzed with urgency. But I carried a piece of that stillness with me. I learned that to look back is not always to retreat (退缩); sometimes, it is the only way to find the strength to move forward. The old books didn’t just tell me stories; they reminded me who I am when the world stops asking me to be someone else. 4. What does the author think of the town’s old library? A. It is in need of urgent repair. B. It has been forgotten completely. C. It serves people in a modern way. D. It connects the past and the present. 5. What do the pencil marks in the books represent to the author? A. A silent dialogue across time. B. Essential materials to focus on. C. Damage caused by careless readers. D. The difference between paper and screens. 6. What can we learn from the author’s reflection? A. Silent spaces are unique. B. Future is more important. C. Progress needs self-reflection. D. Memories surely fade away. 7. What did the author learn from the visit to the library? A. Reading paper books is the best way to rest. B. The past can provide strength for the future. C. Technology disconnects us from our true selves. D. Old books are more valuable than modern ones. C Among Generation Alpha, which includes those born between 2010 and 2025, the oldest are just attending high school. But by examining their attitudes and perspectives today, we can get a clearer picture of tomorrow. Globally, Gen Alpha kids account for 27% of their household inessential spending and drive nearly a third of digital spending, partly deciding what a family streams and purchases online, and the brands they support. While Gen Z was the first digitally native generation, Gen Alpha is the first generation to grow up in a super-connected world, where artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role, making technology an extension of themselves rather than something special that they use sporadically. As a result, it will influence how they learn, work, and live their daily lives. Unlike some previous generations, many of Gen Alpha will become financially literate in their early years. A study by Acorns shows that approximately 41% of those between the ages of 6 and 14 are already saving and investing for various long-term goals, such as cars, college, homes, or retirement. While most of Gen Alpha won’t be purchasing houses until the 2030s, considering the way they’re raised, they will desire housing featuring smart technology with environmental sustainability. However, with reduced construction, home purchases may be out of their reach, resulting in longer rental periods, smaller houses, close living arrangements, or multi-generational co-housing. Additionally, climate change like increasing temperatures and wildfires may affect the choices of settlements. It’s still too early to understand the earnings potential for Gen Alpha, and they will face enormous labor shifts as automation and AI will replace many jobs. While experts predict an increase in remote work, startups, and the gig economy (零工经济), with a focus on flexibility, innovation, and cross-cultural communication, it is agreed that many of their jobs don’t exist yet. So the best way to get ready for Gen Alpha’s impact is to consider how their values will shape the economic and investment landscape. 8. What does the underlined word “sporadically” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Patiently. B. Secretly. C. Occasionally. D. Frequently. 9. What does the study by Acorns indicate? A. The effect of financial education. B. The importance of long-term goals. C. The purpose of Gen Alpha’s investments. D. The financial awareness of Gen Alpha. 10. Which of the following may best satisfy Gen Alpha? A. A smart apartment in the town. B. A historic flat in the city center. C. A well-decorated house by the coast. D. A wooden cottage in the deep forest. 11. What does the author suggest to get prepared for Gen Alpha’s influence? A. Reshaping Gen Alpha’s world views. B. Continuing to develop AI technology. C. Making financial planning in advance. D. Adjusting to Gen Alpha’s viewpoints. D Australia’s beloved dolphin populations face growing pressures from environmental change and human activity. These pressures increase the need for simple, reliable, and non-invasive (非侵入的) tools to monitor dolphin health and support conservation and management. Because dolphins live mostly underwater, traditional health checks are often difficult, and new methods are needed to reduce risk to the animals while still providing useful data. In a new study published in the Journal of Thermal Biology, marine mammal experts from Flinders University analyzed more than 40,000 thermal images (热图像). The study tested whether drones (无人机) with thermal cameras could accurately measure dolphin surface temperature and breathing rates without contact or invasive methods. The research focused on whether these drone measurements were reliable enough for real health monitoring. “Monitoring the health of dolphins is important for assessing environmental impacts and supporting conservation,” says PhD candidate Charlie White from the Cetacean Ecology, Behaviour and Evolution Lab (CEBEL) at Flinders University. She explains that traditional methods often require capture or restraint, which can be stressful for dolphins and hard to carry out. Under optimal flight conditions of 10 to 15 meters directly overhead, the team confirmed that drone measurements were accurate enough to detect meaningful changes in surface temperature and breathing rate, both key indicators of health. The researchers worked with 14 bottlenose dolphins under human care at Queensland’s Sea World. They flew drones at different heights and compared drone thermal readings with close-range temperature measurements to check accuracy. The results showed that drones could reliably measure heat from the dolphins’ blowholes, body surfaces, and dorsal fins (背鳍), and could also accurately count breathing rates. Senior author Associate Professor Guido Parra says the study shows that drone-based infrared thermography is a promising tool for wildlife health assessment. The findings suggest that this method can provide safer and less invasive monitoring of marine mammals in both managed care and wild settings. With further testing under a wider range of wild conditions, this approach has strong potential to support dolphin conservation while reducing stress and harm to the animals. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Tour value growth. B. The need for new tools. C. Environmental threats. D. Dolphin number change. 13. What is Charlie White’s attitude towards old checking methods? A. Negative. B. Approving. C. Tolerant. D. Ambiguous. 14. How did the researchers confirm the accuracy of the drone thermal data? A. By collecting blood samples from the dolphins. B. By placing thermal cameras underwater for retesting. C. By comparing it with close-range temperature readings. D. By tracking whether the dolphins’ feeding behavior changed. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Drone Images Guide Marine Care B. Drone Monitoring Helps Dolphins C. Sea World Trials Reshape Animal Science D. Modern Equipment Boosts Dolphin Population 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The risks of oversharing on social media We share a lot online — holidays, birthdays, updates, even lunch. Cheaters and online criminals can collect clues from posts and use them to pretend to be you or access your accounts. ____16____ Consider who might be watching. ●What happens to the information you share? Public posts can be seen by anyone. Even with privacy settings, content can be re-shared, copied, or stored.

He enjoyed taking evening walks, observing the small details of community life. One day, one house caught his attention — the home of John, an elderly man who lived alone. Mike often saw him sitting on the porch (门廊), watching the world go by. Over several weeks, Mike noticed that John’s hair was becoming increasingly long and very messy. It was clear he had not visited a barber in a long time. One Saturday morning, Mike decided to introduce himself. He walked up to the porch with a friendly smile. John welcomed him warmly, and they talked for nearly half an hour. Mike learned that John had trouble walking due to severe arthritis (关节炎) in his knees, making even short trips difficult. Going to the barbershop, which was several blocks away, was almost impossible for him. John also mentioned, with a hint of embarrassment, that his low income made regular services a financial burden. Mike felt a strong urge to help. He remembered a local barber, Mr Rossi, who sometimes visited his own grandfather. An idea began to form in his mind. He didn’t mention it to John, wanting to see if it was possible first. The next day, Mike visited Rossi’s barbershop. He explained the situation to the barber, a kind man in his fifties. Mike wondered if he would be willing to make a house call for a reduced fee. Mr Rossi listened quietly, cleaning his scissors. He admired Mike’s concern for his neighbor. After a moment, he agreed. “I close the shop on Wednesday afternoons,” he said. “I can visit him then. And don’t worry about the cost. A simple haircut for a good cause is enough payment for me.” Mike was overjoyed. He thanked Mr Rossi and left, saying that he would lead Rossi to John’s home. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Mike rushed back to John’s house with the good news. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After lunch on Wednesday afternoon, Mike went to Mr Rossi’s barbershop. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
