Do you want to work out to stay healthy? The following are some home workouts you can try.
HIIT Workout
Interval training (HIIT) uses high-intensity exercises combined with short rest periods to maximize calorie burn and cardiorespiratory (心肺的) fitness. There are two HIT circuits (循环训练) for different people.
For beginners: start with 30 seconds of workout, followed by 30 seconds of rest.
For the advanced: do 45 seconds of workout and 15 seconds of rest.
Yoga
Yoga combines breathing techniques, meditation (冥想) and different poses designed to encourage relaxation and reduce stress. Practicing yoga comes with many benefits for both mental and physical health. It helps to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Find a beginner workout and practice regularly, step by step.
CrossFit
When we think of CrossFit, probably the gym comes to our mind along with a lot of tools. At home and without these tools, CrossFit is a little more challenging, but not impossible. This is a good core workout:

B
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to join a Hollywood film as an extra (群众演员) in Paris. I had little idea of exactly what to expect before setting off. But I certainly wasn’t thinking that one of the biggest advantages would be spending hours with other people without access to our phones.
On set, phones were locked away after makeup. Without screens, we faced something unusual: real conversations. During long waits between scenes, people actually talked. An art student sketched tattoo ideas for me; a Parisian actor shared her love for Vietnamese food; a Haitian man told stories of his childhood. We played games, debated silly theories, and laughed freely. It felt like stepping into a world before smartphones ruled our attention.
This experience made me realize how technology has changed us. Once technology did bring people together, but gradually they grabbed and then destroyed our attention spans and left so many of us with smartphone addiction; social media grabbed and destroyed our ability to share an informational environment. And now AI threatens to grab and atrophy (使萎缩) our mental muscles entirely.
Yet, I see hope. I think we are at the beginning stages of a quite significant backlash to that. Teens are choosing simple flip phones; people attend digital detox events; those stupid QR-code menus are swiftly disappearing; three-and-a-half-hour long podcasts get millions of listens. We’re slowly fighting back against endless distractions.
Years ago, I visited an art exhibit in Paris where the “art” was simply conversations with strangers. Like that exhibit, life requires time and presence. On the film set, pretending in a fictional world ironically brought us closer to what’s real — human connection.
Though my acting role was small, those phone-free hours reminded me: true joy lies not in screens, but in the messy, unpredictable moments we share
4. What happened when the author couldn’t use phones on the movie set?
A. They felt bored and impatient.
B. They interacted deeply with strangers.
C. They focused on memorizing scripts.
D. They discovered new film making techniques.
5. What is the author’s attitude toward modern technology?
A. Fully supportive of its convenience.
B. Indifferent to its development.
C. Concerned about its social impact.
D. Confident in its problem-solving power.
6. Which of the following might be an example of “digital detox” in para. 3?
A. deleting harmful online content B. taking a break from electronic devices
C. improving smartphone battery life D. making digital device more effective
7. Which title best summarizes the article?
A. Hollywood Secrets: Behind the Scenes of Filming
B. How AI Threatens Human Creativity
C. The Rise of Old-day Technology Among Teenagers
D. Regaining Real Life in a Screen-Dominated World
C
Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you? Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier, better for diabetics, and helps you slim down... Right?
Wrong. Sugar-free isn’t better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners are used instead of real sugar. The problem: these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that’s because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don’t contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar, which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!
8. What can be learned about sugar-free products?
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are more nutritious.
C. They help lose weight. D. They contain artificial sweeteners.
9. Why are sugar-free alternatives described as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”?
A. They won’t lead to weight gain. B. They are greener and healthier.
C. They are much to everyone’s taste. D. Small quantities of artificial sweeteners are used.
10. What do we know about artificial sweeteners?
A. They present a bigger health risk. B. They can be easily broken down.
C. They are as sweet as sugar. D. They improve our ability to metabolize.
11 What is the author’s final conclusion?
A. Real sugar is a better choice. B. Stay away from sugary products.
C. Choose sugar from natural sources. D. Sugar-free products are healthier.
D
It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to 7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures.
With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier—the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly.
The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage,” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层)—at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says.
12. What does the recent study reveal about crows?
A. They can draw simple figures with tools.
B. They can distinguish between basic shapes in geometry.
C. They can do easy math calculations.
D. They can recognize human voices and faces.
13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape- recognition task?
A. By shortening the time for the crows to respond.
B. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen.
C. By showing the figures with different colors.
D. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The role of crows’ geometric potential in navigation.
B. Reasons for crows to evolve shape identification abilities.
C. Survival benefits of crows’ cognitive talents.
D. The advantages of crows’ food-searching skills over other birds.
15. What is the follow-up step for future study?
A. Investigating crows’ brain areas related to geometric skills.
B. Comparing the cerebral cortex of humans and crows.
C. Exploring other complex functions of crows’ brains.
D. Studying the causes of crows’ flexible behaviors.
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。
Poetry, with its rhythmic language and layered meanings, invites readers to explore emotions, ideas, and beauty beyond the literal. To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding.
Read aloud for rhythm and sound
____16____ Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood.
____17____
Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning.
Accept confusion
Poems don’t always have one right explanation. ____18____ Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity.
Connect the poem to your life
Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. ____19____ Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination.
Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. ____20____
A. Poems are meant to be heard.
B. Learn the background of the poem.
C. Compare poems by different authors.
D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you.
E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines.
F. If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses.
G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it.

Some people were born gifted, but I wasn’t. Well into my sixties, I was ____21____ searching for something I did really well. When my friend advised me to join an art class, I ____22____ but finally decided to have a go.
Now here I was staring at a ____23____ canvas (画布), with a photograph of a sunflower beside it, wondering what I was doing in this class. “Grid off (分格) the photo and canvas into squares,” Debbie, my teacher, walked us through the ____24____ of painting. As I followed the instructions, I thought back on my past ____25____ to make artwork. In junior high, I eagerly chose art, but my enthusiasm was ____26____. The teacher’s harsh criticism quickly made me drop the class. Then in college, I ____27____ a drawing class but barely kept up, leaving my confidence ____28____ again. After that, my creative energies were restricted only to secret ____29____.
This time, I wouldn’t let that happen again. I gridded off my picture and painted just one ____30____ at a time. My shaky hands gradually ____31____ and found their rhythm. Little by little, a cheerful sunflower came to life. Debbie had told us, “Don’t think of it as part of a bigger picture. And don’t guess at where it ____32____ with the rest.” A single sunflower had brought me more ____33____ than an entire field of flowers.

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。
My name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it.
Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose.
The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile.
By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?”
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense:

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to join a Hollywood film as an extra (群众演员) in Paris. I had little idea of exactly what to expect before setting off. But I certainly wasn’t thinking that one of the biggest advantages would be spending hours with other people without access to our phones.
On set, phones were locked away after makeup. Without screens, we faced something unusual: real conversations. During long waits between scenes, people actually talked. An art student sketched tattoo ideas for me; a Parisian actor shared her love for Vietnamese food; a Haitian man told stories of his childhood. We played games, debated silly theories, and laughed freely. It felt like stepping into a world before smartphones ruled our attention.
This experience made me realize how technology has changed us. Once technology did bring people together, but gradually they grabbed and then destroyed our attention spans and left so many of us with smartphone addiction; social media grabbed and destroyed our ability to share an informational environment. And now AI threatens to grab and atrophy (使萎缩) our mental muscles entirely.
Yet, I see hope. I think we are at the beginning stages of a quite significant backlash to that. Teens are choosing simple flip phones; people attend digital detox events; those stupid QR-code menus are swiftly disappearing; three-and-a-half-hour long podcasts get millions of listens. We’re slowly fighting back against endless distractions.
Years ago, I visited an art exhibit in Paris where the “art” was simply conversations with strangers. Like that exhibit, life requires time and presence. On the film set, pretending in a fictional world ironically brought us closer to what’s real — human connection.
Though my acting role was small, those phone-free hours reminded me: true joy lies not in screens, but in the messy, unpredictable moments we share
4. What happened when the author couldn’t use phones on the movie set?
A. They felt bored and impatient.
B. They interacted deeply with strangers.
C. They focused on memorizing scripts.
D. They discovered new film making techniques.
5. What is the author’s attitude toward modern technology?
A. Fully supportive of its convenience.
B. Indifferent to its development.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On set, phones were locked away after makeup. Without screens, we faced something unusual: real conversations. During long waits between scenes, people actually talked. An art student sketched tattoo ideas for me; a Parisian actor shared her love for Vietnamese food; a Haitian man told stories of his childhood. We played games, debated silly theories, and laughed freely. It felt like stepping into a world before smartphones ruled our attention. (在片场,化完妆后手机就被锁起来了。没有了手机屏幕,我们面对的是一件不寻常的事情:真正的对话。在拍摄间隙的漫长等待时间里,人们真的在交谈。一位学艺术的学生给我画了一些纹身的设计草图;一位巴黎演员和我分享了她对越南美食的喜爱;一位海地人讲述了他童年的故事。我们一起玩游戏,争论一些荒唐的理论,尽情地欢笑。这感觉就像是走进了一个智能手机尚未占据我们全部注意力的世界。)”可知,在片场不能使用手机后,作者和其他人进行了真正的对话,人们分享了各自的事情,一起玩游戏、争论,有深入的交流互动。因此,当作者在电影片场不能使用手机时,他们与陌生人进行了深入的互动。故选B。

Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you? Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier, better for diabetics, and helps you slim down... Right?
Wrong. Sugar-free isn’t better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners are used instead of real sugar. The problem: these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that’s because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don’t contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar, which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!
8. What can be learned about sugar-free products?
A. They don’t taste sweet. B. They are more nutritious.
C. They help lose weight. D. They contain artificial sweeteners.
9. Why are sugar-free alternatives described as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”?
A. They won’t lead to weight gain. B. They are greener and healthier.
C. They are much to everyone’s taste. D. Small quantities of artificial sweeteners are used.
10. What do we know about artificial sweeteners?
A. They present a bigger health risk. B. They can be easily broken down.
C. They are as sweet as sugar. D. They improve our ability to metabolize.
11. What is the author’s final conclusion?
A. Real sugar is a better choice. B. Stay away from sugary products.
C. Choose sugar from natural sources. D. Sugar-free products are healthier.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今市场上充斥着各种“无糖食品”和“无糖饮料”,它们对我们的健康究竟有着怎样的影响呢?
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar.(无糖是指使用人工甜味剂代替真正的糖)”可知,所谓的“无糖产品”,其实是用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”.(大多数人造甜味剂比糖甜得多,所以只需要少量。这就是为什么他们可以以‘低卡路里’或‘无卡路里’来推销无糖替代品)”可知,由于人工甜味剂甜度非常高,所以其用量非常小,因此商家将其“无糖产品”标榜为“低卡路里”或“零卡路里”。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).(糖尿病).(反过来,无糖替代品会导致体重增加和2型糖尿病)”以及倒数第二段中“Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar, which impacts everything you eat.(人工甜味剂还会损害肠道分解糖的能力,从而影响你吃的所有东西)”可知,这些所谓的“无糖产品”中含有的人工甜味剂会导致肥胖和糖尿病,还会损害肠道分解糖的能力,因此是更大的健康隐患。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar.(一个很好的经验法则:远离人造甜味剂,寻找无糖的天然甜味剂,如甜菊糖或枣糖)”可知,作者认为,无论糖还是人工甜味剂都不是好的选择,后者危害更大;喜欢甜食者最好的选择是摄取自然的糖分——比如来自水果的糖。故选C。
D
It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to 7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures.
With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier—the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly.
The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage,” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层)—at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says.
12. What does the recent study reveal about crows?
A. They can draw simple figures with tools.
B. They can distinguish between basic shapes in geometry.
C. They can do easy math calculations.
D. They can recognize human voices and faces.
13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape- recognition task?
A. By shortening the time for the crows to respond.
B. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen.
C. By showing the figures with different colors.
D. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The role of crows’ geometric potential in navigation.
B. Reasons for crows to evolve shape identification abilities.
C. Survival benefits of crows’ cognitive talents.
D. The advantages of crows’ food-searching skills over other birds.
15. What is the follow-up step for future study?
A. Investigating crows’ brain areas related to geometric skills.
B. Comparing the cerebral cortex of humans and crows.
C. Exploring other complex functions of crows’ brains.
D. Studying the causes of crows’ flexible behaviors.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A

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。
Poetry, with its rhythmic language and layered meanings, invites readers to explore emotions, ideas, and beauty beyond the literal. To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding.
Read aloud for rhythm and sound
____16____ Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood.
____17____
Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning.
Accept confusion
Poems don’t always have one right explanation. ____18____ Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity.
Connect the poem to your life
Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. ____19____ Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination.
Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. ____20____
A. Poems are meant to be heard.
B. Learn the background of the poem.
C. Compare poems by different authors.
D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you.
E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines.
F. If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses.
G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it.

【答案】范文
With the rapid rise of online news media, students now have easy access to a vast amount of information anytime and anywhere. However, not all online news is reliable. Some reports may contain false or contradictory information, which makes it challenging to tell truth from falsehood.
To deal with this situation, students should learn to be critical news readers. First, compare different news sources to get a more complete picture of an event. Second, check the time when a report was written, as facts may change over time. Third, avoid blindly trusting sensational headlines and use your own discrimination.
By doing so, students can make informed decisions and avoid being misled by unreliable news.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
My name is Shaquille O’Neal, but no, I am not the legendary basketball star everyone knows. My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon,while I'm a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it.
Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines.
Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose.
The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in there than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile.
By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor. Why don’t you get faster?”
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
What Skimmy had said made a lot of sense: I had been so busy trying to act tough and guard the tallest players that I completely ignored my own strength — speed. For the first time, I stopped focusing on my height and poor dribbling. Instead, I started practicing running every day after school, racing along the street and practicing quick turns. I no longer tried to fight with big guys but learned to use my speed to move freely on the court. Skimmy’s words lit up a path for me, and I was determined to show my value in my own way.
The next Saturday, I stepped onto the court with a different plan. When the game began, I ran quickly across the court, stealing the ball from opponents before they could react. My speed surprised everyone, including Louis. I passed the ball accurately to teammates and helped score several times. I didn’t get hurt or sit on the bench anymore. At the end of the game, my teammates cheered for me. For the first time, I truly felt like a useful part of the team, and my heart was full of pride and joy.
