When I was a child in the 1980s, advertisements showed up in predictable ways: as 30-second video spots (插播广告) during TV shows, audio ads on the radio, or print ads in newspapers or magazines.
The advertising our children see is very different. Since the rise of the Internet and mobile technology, ads can reach us anytime, anywhere, and target us based on what our online behavior reveals. This includes whether your phone’s GPS regularly goes to church; whether you make in-app purchases when you’ve lost too many games in a row; or whether you comment with emojis when your friends post their difficult experiences. These online behaviors say a lot about us, whether we know it or not.
Traditional marketing tries to find creative ways to convince us we need to buy things. Sometimes marketing crosses a line into manipulation (操控)--particularly with children, who don’t process advertising the way adults do. In a study in pediatrics (儿科学), for example, researchers found that fast-food commercials were trying to cue viewers’ attention to the free toys in kids’ meals, hoping that kids may find the trinkets irresistible and then beg their parents for fast food.
We are raising kids in the Internet age, and marketing now goes far beyond predictable video spots. App developers and platforms make more money when more ads are viewed or clicked and children are a prime target. Some developers use manipulative approaches like showing a sparkling present, which takes the child to an ad when clicked. It’s also common for kids to earn rewards such as virtual candy for watching ads, and ad viewing can take up more time than playing the game itself. Free video streaming platforms are incredibly popular among kids. These platforms have user-generated content that can be really funny and creative. They try to grab eyeballs with videos that keep kids coming back, which translates to more ad dollars.
Raising kids in the Internet age means teaching them to recognize it when someone is trying to sell them new things or new ideas, from toys to misinformation. Let’s raise the next generation of critical digital thinkers.
24. Which word would the author use to describe today’s advertising?
A. Predictable. B. Instructive. C. Personalized. D. Reliable.
25. What does the underlined part “the trinkets” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The meals. B. The free toys.
C. The video spots. D. The commercial TV channels.
26. How do free video streaming platforms make money?
A. By raising visits to the videos. B. By analysing clicks linked to ads.
C. By offering advice on ad content. D. By charging eye-catching content.
27. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. The number of online ads should be limited.
B. People should learn to recognize Internet ads.
C. Advertisers should stop using toys to distract kids.
D. Parents should raise kids’ awareness of advertising traps.
C
The chocolate chip cookie has been beloved by children and adults for decades. Let’s find out how this treat became an American favorite. From 1930 to 1967, Ruth Wakefield and her husband, Kenneth, ran the Toll House Inn, a restaurant in Whitman, Massachusetts. Wakefield, who had a college degree in household arts, enjoyed experimenting with baking. She is credited with creating the chocolate chip cookie, but no one is sure how she came up with the recipe. One theory is that while baking butter drop cookies she ran out of the baker’s chocolate and created it by chopping up a semi-sweet chocolate bar and adding it to the dough (生面团). Instead of melting, the chocolate bits held their shapes. The cookies were a hit with inn visitors.
By the late 1930s, Marjorie Husted, who was also known as Betty Crocker, hosted a radio program for home cooks. She introduced Wakefield’s cookbooks and her chocolate chip cookies to the national audience. In 1939, Wakefield and Nestlé reached an agreement. She gave the company the rights to use her recipe and the Toll House name. In return, Nestlé promised her $1 and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Nestlé began to print her recipe on its packaging and soon launched Toll House morsels.
As the US endured the Great Depression (1929–1933), a time of hardship for many Americans, the chocolate chip cookie represented an inexpensive yet delicious handheld treat. During World War Ⅱ, people across the US sent care packages of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to soldiers who were serving overseas. In the 1950s, Pillsbury and other brands began selling refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough in supermarkets, which enabled people to more easily bake cookies at home. The food company Nabisco launched Chips Ahoy!, a line of packaged chocolate chip cookies, in 1963.
In Los Angeles, California, in 1975, Wally Amos opened his first Famous Amos cookie store. The brand Ben & Jerry’s introduced chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in 1984, after a customer at its Burlington store left a note proposing the new flavor. By the mid-1980s, more than 1,200 cookie stores and stands, such as Mrs. Fields, were in business across America. Today, about 7 billion chocolate chip cookies, which came to be a symbol of comfort and home, are eaten in the US every year.
28. Which best describes the invention of the chocolate chip cookie?
A. Intentional. B. Accidental. C. Traditional. D. Ridiculous.
29. How did Marjorie Husted contribute to the popularity of the chocolate chip cookie?
A. By striking a deal with Nestlé.
B. By improving its package design.
C. By introducing advanced equipment.
D. By promoting cookie recipes on a radio program.
30. What can be inferred about the chocolate chip cookie from the last paragraph?
A. It is a seasonal treat in the US. B. The annual consumption is declining.
C. It symbolizes comfort and home. D. It is featured in community gatherings.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The legacy of Ruth Wakefield B. The history of chocolate chip cookies
C. Chocolate chip cookies: A sweet memory D. American diet culture: A sense of home
D
The roads are becoming increasingly dangerous for cyclists, and recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 1,105 cyclists lost their lives on public roads. Fortunately, here’s how things could improve. A game-changing gadget called Survue could keep cyclists safe on the roads. By tapping into the power of artificial intelligence, this device is taking cyclist protection to a whole new level.
Developed by Maine-based entrepreneur Josh Fox, Survue is an innovative device that looks to address the limitations of existing bicycle radar systems. While conventional systems primarily focus on the speed of approaching vehicles, Survue considers multiple factors to assess potential risks, and its key features include AI-powered vehicle detection, 3D location and path prediction, vehicle type identification, and an enhanced taillight alerting system.
Unlike traditional radar-based systems, Survue employs a camera and complicated AI algorithms (算法) to analyze the road behind the cyclist. The device can detect approaching vehicles, determine their speed and location, and even predict their tracks. This advanced analysis allows Survue to differentiate between passing vehicles and those that pose a potential collision (碰撞) risk. When Survue detects a potentially dangerous situation, it alerts the cyclist in multiple ways, including an audible (听得见的) alarm on the device, and visual displays on a handlebar-mounted smartphone. It alerts motorists or distracted drivers by increasing the flashing frequency of the integrated 80-lumen taillight. Additionally, it can automatically record video footage of approaching vehicles from the behind. This provides cyclists with valuable evidence in case of accidents.
Survue weighs 125 grams and measures 3.5 inches by 2 inches by 1.5 inches. Its battery life is up to six hours between charges. It can detect vehicles at a range of up to 360 feet and features an 80-lumen light visible from one mile away. The device also supports Bluetooth connectivity for integration with third-party apps.
As cycling continues to grow in popularity, innovations like Survue may play a crucial role in making roads safer for all users. However, the actual test of Survue’s effectiveness will come once it reaches the hands of everyday cyclists.
32. What is Survue’s advantage over existing bicycle radar systems?
A. Its easier maintenance. B. Its more comprehensive functions.
C. Its stabler performance. D. Its more attractive external design.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How Survue works. B. How Survue navigates.
C. What updates Survue needs. D. What Survue looks like.
34. How does Survue warn cyclists of potential dangers?
A. By sending short messages. B. By increasing taillight brightness.
C. By creating friction on the wheel. D. By combining audible and visual alerts.
35. What is probably one reason Survue’s effectiveness is still unclear?
A. It is too heavy for regular use.
B. It lacks the ability to alert drivers effectively.
C. It hasn’t been widely tested by ordinary cyclists.
D. Its battery life is too short for long-distance rides.

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。
I’d always dreamed of living close to where I worked. So when I found a small house just around the corner from the school, I jumped at the chance. My mother wasn’t so sure. “Some of your pupils will probably be your neighbours,” she warned. “Your every move will be watched.” I laughed it off. What did I have to hide?
But soon I realized she was right. The first weekend after I moved in, we sat outside, enjoying a simple meal, when Mum suddenly paused and tilted her head toward a bedroom window in the house behind mine. A boy’s grin was pressed to the glass. It was Thomas, the liveliest child in my class. He waved as if we were close friends. After that, the “small town effect” became impossible to ignore.
One morning, still in my pyjamas (睡衣) and slippers, I rushed outside to put my bin out, only to notice Amelia standing beside me, neat in her uniform. She smiled brightly and said, “Nice pyjamas, Miss Carter.” My cheeks burned.
At school, the children’s curiosity turned my private life into public entertainment. They asked about my home and my family. I began to feel as if I were living in a glass house. I tried to set boundaries, but it was easier said than done. And my Dad wasn’t exactly helpful. I returned home one afternoon to find him chatting with Thomas, who was hanging over the fence. My heart sank. I knew my whole class would soon know about my past. “I have an image to maintain!” I told Dad later. He promised to keep quiet, but I could tell he found it funny.
One Saturday morning, I was at the supermarket when my phone rang. A woman’s voice spoke. “Miss Carter, this is Thomas’s mum. Your father’s had a fall in the garden, but he’s with Amelia’s mum and me now. Don’t panic -- can you come home?”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

I am Against Using AI For Homework
Nowadays, students use artificial intelligence for homework, which causes a heated discussion. In my opinion, using AI for homework might get in the way of children’s long-term development.
To begin with, using AI for homework may encourage laziness, thus negatively affecting the students’ attitudes toward study. What’s worse, as AI draws information from existing online contents, it may provide students with incorrect answers. Last but not least, using AI for homework may prevent students from learning valuable skills. As a result, they can not tackle difficult assignments independently.
In short, I believe using AI for homework may be harmful to our long-term development.
读后续写:
I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. So anxious was I that I rushed to Dad’s side at once, checking his condition. Amelia’s mom held a warm towel for him, and Thomas’s mom gently comforted me, saying Thomas and Amelia spotted Dad fall while playing outside and had called an ambulance immediately. Never had I felt such sincere kindness from these people who once made me uneasy. I thanked them repeatedly, my heart filled with deep gratitude instead of the former annoyance.That evening,
Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. As soon as we got home, Dad insisted on going to thank our neighbors with me. Thomas and Amelia jumped up happily when they saw us, and their moms smiled warmly, saying it was just a small favor. I realized that living among kind neighbors was a precious gift, and these lovely kids were not spying on my privacy but just kind-hearted children who cared about me. It was not the strict boundary but the warm connection that made this small community lovely.

M:Good afternoon. Looking around this room now takes me back to when I was your age. At that time, too often I found myself up all hours of the night before an exam trying to remember something.
So, I’d like to explain to you now the link between sleep and memory. Memory strengthening is what happens when information is moved from our short-term memory to our long-term memory. However, we don’t always remember everything. One reason we remember certain things better than others relates to the environment we were in when we originally made the memories. So, for example, the more interesting or fun you find a biology lesson, the more chance there is of you remembering information from it. And not only that, we actually need to review information again and again after certain periods of time. And the reason why it’s important to get enough hours of sleep is that this process of remembering things happens during certain stages of sleep.
So there is enough evidence to conclude that the best way to help you pass your exams is to learn the information in an interesting way, review it regularly and get plenty of good-quality sleep.
