Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That’s more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven’t yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers. However, several studies have shown a serious problem: Today’s teens lack media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see. One study focused on middle school students. It found that more than 80 percent of them couldn’t tell the difference between real news stories and ads that looked like news. Stanford University professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy matters. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. “With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details. These details largely depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one aspect (方面) at one point in time. There is more going on.” Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to journalists—should help teens learn the skill. As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts recommend the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” said John. 31. What can we conclude from paragraph 1? A. Teens today spend more time using the Internet than watching TV. B. Teens today spend more time watching TV than they spend with teachers at school. C. Teens today spend more time reading newspapers than watching TV. D. Teens today spend more time studying at school than using the Internet. 32. What is the serious problem that several studies have shown? A. Many teens today don’t read the news. B. Many teens are not reading real news stories. C. Many teens today are not interested in school. D. Many teens cannot think critically about the information they see. 33. The underlined word “matters” in paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by ________. A. is boring B. is popular C. is important D. is interesting 34. What does the example Professor Kevin John gave show? A. Some news directors are not responsible. B. Different news stories focus on different details. C. Many of his students do not have media literacy. D. It’s hard to tell the difference between real news and ads. 35. Which of the following statements would Professor Kevin John agree with? A. Media literacy should be taught mainly at school. B. News directors should report the news they’re interested in. C. Children should be taught media literacy as early as possible. D. It’s too early for children to learn media literacy in their teens. C Like millions of Americans, I am dyslexic (有读写障碍的). I can’t remember which side is my right and which is my left. I know this makes no sense. After all, I have no problem telling the difference between other things. I know up from down. I know black from white. I know forks from spoons. And yet, I do not know left from right. My brain is not wired (与生俱来的) that way. This is true for many dyslexics, and I suspect multimodal large language models (MLLMs多模态大型语言模型) may be dyslexic too. As a kid with dyslexia, school was very hard for me. For example, we humans created two lowercase (小写字体的) letters in the English alphabet — “b” and “d” — that are only different because one points left and one points right. For decades, I could not tell the difference. This is a very common problem among dyslexics. The same is true for telling time on traditional clock faces — it only makes sense if you know the difference between clockwise (顺时针) and counterclockwise (逆时针). These challenges don’t end in elementary school. I still remember getting a problem wrong in a physics class at Stanford because I applied the “right-hand rule” with my left hand. Dyslexia has nothing to do with focus or intelligence — your brain just works differently from the people who created the cultural conventions we use in symbolic languages, mathematics, and many branches of science. I surely know what’s going on. It all relates to the “mind’s eye.” By this, I mean the way I visualize things inside my mind and store spatial (空间的) elements in memory. When I recall things in my mind (objects, environments, images, or text), I don’t visualize them from a fixed first-person perspective. I think about them from all directions at once. This brings me back to MLLMs that process and interpret images and videos. These models are remarkable. They can match or exceed human performance on countless tasks, for example, diagnosing cancers from visual slides better than any human. And yet, a recent study found a surprising result: Nowadays all major MLLMs have troubles in telling time on analog clocks (模拟时钟). According to the study, GPT-4.0 was only able to correctly read clock faces 8% of the time. Claude 3.5 sonnet was worse at 6%. Gemini 2.0 was the best, but still at only 20%. These numbers are surprisingly low, especially when you consider that these AI models can perform so well in other contexts. This is surprisingly similar to dyslexia in humans, not just in the simple artifacts that cause problems like clocks, but in the contradictory mix of strengths and weaknesses that enables a person like me to earn a PhD (博士学位) and work successfully as a computer scientist and engineer, and yet still fail the “turn left here” test. 36. The phrase “mind’s eye” (paragraph 4) refers to ________. A. literal visual perception through biological eyes B. a medical device used to treat dyslexia C. the brain’s ability to form and store mental images D. a metaphor for intelligence quotient (IQ) 37. What does the underlined word “interpret” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Learn. B. Understand. C. Explain. D. Translate. 38. Why do MLLMs struggle to read analog clocks accurately, according to the passage? A. Their cognitive (认知) process of spatial information is similar to that of dyslexic humans. B. They were primarily trained on digital clocks, leaving analog clock recognition underdeveloped. C. Clock faces require understanding of cultural conventions, which AI lacks compared to humans. D. Their visual recognition systems focus more on object detection like cancer diagnosis than directional interpretation. 39. Why does the author emphasize that he failed a physics task due to left-right confusion yet ultimately earned a PhD? A. To argue that universities should lower some standards for dyslexic students B. To suggest AI could make up for human limitations in scientific research. C. To reflect that physics is uniquely difficult for people with spatial processing differences. D. To highlight that dyslexia’s problems are particular rather than reflective of overall intellectual ability. 40. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Complete Guide to Dyslexia Treatments B. When Machines Mirror Human Learning disabilities C. Are Large Language Models Dyslexic? D. Why Schools Must Adapt to Dyslexic Students D You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 41. Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A. Stamps can be put on it. B. Every part of it is useful. C. People send it in a package. D. Addresses can be written on it. 42. What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Make room for. B. Add value to. C. Provide energy for. D. Put weight on. 43. In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A. Story Time. B. History World. C. Sports News. D. Amazing Nature. 44. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To advise people to protect coconuts. B. To ask people to grow more coconuts. C. To show the value and uses of coconuts. D. To introduce a fuel made from coconuts. 45. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 四、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1.5分，满分15分） Organic (有机的) gardeners use natural ways to keep their gardens healthy. Follow these steps to make your own organic garden. Getting ready for Your Garden First, mark out how large your garden will be with ropes or stones. Don’t make it too big. Next, dig up the soil. Take out large stones and weeds. Keep an eye out for earthworms. They dig tunnels in the soil, which allow air and water to reach a plant’s roots. Finally, mix in some compost (堆肥). You can make your own compost by using leaves, grass and vegetables which are of no use. Planting Your Garden Now that the soil is ready, you need to choose what to plant. If you are sowing seeds, use organic ones. If you are planting seedlings, choose organic plants that look strong and healthy. Make sure that the plants are not so close to each other. Therefore, they won’t be too crowded as they grow. Choose other plants with a special smell to drive pests away. For example, the garlic (大蒜) and cilantro (香菜叶) drive away the beetles, spider mites and white flies. Some plants attract insects that attack pests. Aphids (蚜虫) feed on the leaves of plants. In turn, insects such as ladybirds live on the aphids, keeping the plant pest-free. Taking Care of Your Garden Weed your garden often. Remember to pull all the weeds out and not just the leaves. The weed will grow back again if some of the root is left behind. Sometimes harmful insects attack even the best organic gardens. It is necessary to make natural sprays (喷雾) to drive those pests away. Spraying salt and warm water keeps caterpillars and cabbage worms away. Organic gardening is not only fun, but good for the planet as well. Growing vegetables is an enjoyable and useful activity. ____46____ to make an Organic Garden ____47____ for Your Garden ●Use strings or stones to mark out the ____48____ of your garden ●Dig and take out stones and weeds, but pay attention to earthworms. ●Mix in some compost with ____49____ leaves, grass and vegetables.

He used to spend hours watching short videos every day, which made him fall behind in studies and lose interest in outdoor activities. While short videos can offer quick entertainment and even teach skills like DIY crafts or English pronunciation, their addictive nature often leads to time-wasting and reduced concentration. To use short videos wisely, here are some suggestions. First, set a strict viewing limit, such as 30 minutes daily, to avoid overindulgence. Second, choose high-quality content that adds value, like educational channels or inspiring stories. Lastly, replace video-watching time with healthier activities like reading or sports. In conclusion, short videos are not inherently harmful if used moderately and purposefully. They can be a source of fun and learning, but we must stay in control to prevent them from dominating our lives. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
