The country plans to stop people aged 16 and under from using social media starting in 2026. This change is happening because there are big concerns about how social media ____31____ kids’ mental health. Its goal is to protect young people from online dangers, like cybercrime and online gambling. Malaysia wants social media companies like TikTok and Facebook to ____32____ these new rules by next year. Also, the country requires large social media platforms with more than eight million users to get a special license. Malaysia isn’t ____33____ in this effort. Australia is also planning to make kids under 16 stop using social media soon. Some European countries are testing an app to ____34____ users’ ages to keep them safe online. Social media can be fun, but it can also be ____35____. Many studies show that too much time online can make young people feel lonely or anxious.

However, some people worry that such a ban might not be the best ____37____. They think teaching children how to use the Internet safely is more important. Parents and schools can play a big role in ____38____ kids learn to use technology in a healthy way. Every country has its own way of dealing with online safety. What works in one place may not work in another. But one thing is clear: protecting children online is a ____39____ that everyone should take seriously.

A. game B. lesson C. solution D. problem 38. A. helping B. forcing C. promising D. warning 39. A. choice B. hobby C. duty D. dream 40. A. busy B. happy C. safe D. smart 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. A 34. C 35. A 36. C 37. C 38. A 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍马来西亚将出台新规禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体，保护其安全，还列举了其他国家的同类管控措施，呼吁全社会重视未成年人网络安全问题。 【31题详解】 句意：这一变化是因为人们非常担心社交媒体如何影响孩子的心理健康。 根据后文提到的网络欺凌、焦虑等负面影响，能看出社交媒体对青少年心理存在作用，应用affects“影响”。improves“改善”、protects“保护”偏向积极方向，changes“改变”表意宽泛，不符合。 【32题详解】 句意：马来西亚希望TikTok和Facebook等社交媒体公司在明年之前遵守这些新规则。 后文出现了新规相关要求，这里是要求平台遵照规则执行。follow rules为固定搭配，意为遵守规则，应用follow“遵守”。break“打破”表意相反，forget“忘记”、question“质疑”不符合政策推行的逻辑。 【33题详解】 句意：马来西亚在这个努力中并不是单独的。 后文提到澳大利亚也出台了相关计划，说明马来西亚并非单独行动，alone“独自的”符合语境。afraid“害怕的”、angry“生气的”、awake“清醒的”和上下文表意无关。 【34题详解】 句意：一些欧洲国家正在测试一款应用程序来核实用户年龄，以确保他们上网安全。 管控未成年人社交使用需要核验用户年龄信息，应用check“核查”符合场景。guess“猜测”准确性不足，hide“隐藏”、remember“记住”达不到管控效果。 【35题详解】 句意：社交媒体可能很有趣，但也可能是有害的。 根据“but”表转折及后文“lonely or anxious”（孤独或焦虑）可知，此处指负面作用，应用harmful“有害的”，符合下文描述的弊端。helpful“有帮助的”、peaceful“和平的”、useful“有用的”和后文负面内容矛盾。 【36题详解】 句意：通过限制社交媒体的使用，马来西亚希望为其青年创造一个更安全的环境。 根据前文“stop people aged 16 and under”（禁止 16 岁及以下人群）可知，这是限制措施，应用limiting“限制”。encouraging“鼓励”、increasing“增加”与禁令相反，recording“记录”无关。 【37题详解】 句意：然而，有些人担心这样的禁令可能不是最好的解决方案。 根据前文提到的禁令措施及后文提出的教育建议可知，这是在讨论解决问题的方法。根据语境，solution“解决办法”符合。game“游戏”、lesson“课程”、problem“问题”不符合句子逻辑。 【38题详解】 句意：父母和学校可以在帮助孩子学习以健康方式使用技术方面发挥重要作用。 后文提到教孩子安全上网更重要，是家长和学校助力孩子合理使用网络，helping“帮助”符合文意。forcing“强迫”、promising“承诺”、warning“警告”和后文教育引导的思路不符。 【39题详解】 句意：但有一点很清楚：保护儿童上网安全是每个人都应认真对待的责任。 根据“take seriously”（认真对待）及保护儿童的主题可知，这是一种责任，应用duty“责任”。choice“选择”、hobby“爱好”、dream“梦想”达不到需要全社会严肃对待的程度。 【40题详解】 句意：随着技术不断变化，我们必须不断寻找更好的方法来保持年轻人安全。 全文围绕青少年网络安全展开，safe“安全的”，呼应文章核心主题。busy“忙碌的”、happy“开心的”、smart“聪明的”和文章主旨不匹配。 第二节 短文填空（共15题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或填入括号内所给单词的正确形式。 Our lives are a story that goes on forever. Our time here is only a part of it. I was reminded of this recently when I saw a quote in a book: “Death is not a period, only a comma.” This made me think about how we view life and ____41____ (die). In many cultures, death is seen as an end. But in others, it is just a pause ____42____ the journey continues. For example, some believe that life goes on in another form or place. These ____43____ (believe) can help people feel less afraid and more hopeful. When I was a child, my grandmother ____44____ (tell) me stories about our ancestors. She said they were still watching over us, like stars in the sky. This idea always comforted me. It made me feel that I was never ____45____ (true) alone. Now, as a teenager, I still find ____46____ (I) thinking about these things. Sometimes life feels short and uncertain. But remembering that there is more beyond what we see can give us ____47____ (much) courage to live fully. I think it’s important to talk about death openly. It helps us understand life ____48____ (good) and appreciate every moment. We shouldn’t be afraid to share our feelings or ask questions. After all, death is a part of life, and understanding it can help us live ____49____ (wise). What about you? How ____50____ your culture view death? What do you believe? I encourage you to talk with your family or friends about it. You might be ____51____ (surprise) by what you learn. Let’s remember: life is a long story, and every comma is just a chance to take ____52____ breath before continuing. So let’s make ____53____ most of our time here, and write a story ____54____ is full of love, hope, and meaning. That is the best way to honor ____55____ (we) lives and the lives of those who came before us. 【答案】41. death 42. before 43. beliefs 44. told 45. truly 46. myself 47. more 48. better 49. wisely 50. does 51. surprised 52. a 53. the 54. that##which 55. our 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者对“死亡”的看法。作者认为，谈论死亡可以帮助我们更好地理解生活，珍惜每一刻，鼓励我们充分利用时间，去书写一个充满爱、希望与意义的故事。 【41题详解】 句意：这让我思考我们该如何看待生命与死亡。 空处与名词“life”并列，需用die的名词形式death，表示“死亡”。 【42题详解】 句意：但在另一些文化里，它只是旅程继续前的一次暂停。此处需要填入连词，引导时间状语从句，表示“死亡在旅程继续之前的一次暂停”，用连词before符合逻辑。 【43题详解】 句意：这些‌信念‌能帮助人们少一些恐惧，多一些希望。these后接可数名词复数，believe是动词，变为名词复数beliefs。 【44题详解】 句意：当我还是个孩子的时候，我的祖母‌给我讲过‌关于我们祖先的故事。句中“When I was a child”是明确的过去时间状语，说明动作发生在过去，用动词tell的过去式told。 【45题详解】 句意：这让我觉得自己从来都不是‌真正‌孤单的。空处修饰形容词alone，需用true的副词形式truly。 【46题详解】 句意：现在，作为一名青少年，我仍然发现‌自己‌会想起这些事情。find oneself doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“发现自己正在做某事”，主语是I，对应的反身代词为myself，用来指代主语自身。 【47题详解】 句意：但要记住，我们所见之外还有更广阔的世界，这能赋予我们‌更多‌勇气，去充实地生活。隐含比较含义，指比没有认知时给予更多勇气，用much的比较级more。 【48题详解】 句意：它能帮我们‌更好地‌理解生命，珍惜每一个瞬间。句中暗含“公开谈论死亡后，相比之前能更透彻理解生命”的比较逻辑，需用good的比较级better，修饰动词understand。 【49题详解】 句意：毕竟，死亡是生命的一部分，理解它能帮助我们‌明智地‌生活。此处需要用副词修饰动词live，形容词wise的副词形式为wisely。 【50题详解】 句意：你的文化是如何看待死亡的？这是一个由how引导的特殊疑问句，空处缺少助动词，主语“your culture”是第三人称单数，助动词用does。 【51题详解】 句意：你可能会对自己了解到的内容感到惊讶。此处修饰人，表示“感到惊讶的”，用-ed结尾的形容词surprised。 【52题详解】 句意：让我们记住：人生是一段漫长的故事，每一个逗号都只是你在继续前行前喘口气的机会。take a breath是固定搭配，意为“喘口气”，故填不定冠词a。 【53题详解】 句意：所以让我们充分利用在这里的时光，书写一个充满爱、希望与意义的故事。make the most of是固定搭配，意为“充分利用”，形容词最高级most前加定冠词the。 【54题详解】 句意：所以让我们充分利用在这里的时光，书写一个充满爱、希望与意义的故事。这是一个定语从句，先行词是story（指物），从句中缺少主语，因此用关系代词that或者which。 【55题详解】 句意：这是致敬我们的生命，以及那些先于我们离去的先辈生命的最佳方式。空处修饰名词lives，用we的形容词性物主代词our。 第三部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15题；每题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A High School Art Show Opens on Dec.18; visits available from Monday through Friday.

For teachers, it’s a fun way to bring holiday-themed STEM learning into their lesson plans. For example, on Snowball Launchers Day, kids can explore simple machines and energy by building a catapult (弹弓) to throw a snowball across the room. Two days later, on Polar Bear Parachutes Day, they can design and test a parachute to help a toy polar bear land safely. “Kids will get to take part in lots of STEM activities with a fun winter theme,” Kalugdan said. 59.

This tax was first introduced in April 2018 to get drink makers to use less sugar and to help consumers choose healthier products. Right now, it applies to drinks with 5 grams or more of sugar per 100 milliliters. But starting on Jan 1, 2028, the sugar limit will be reduced to 4.5 grams per 100 milliliters. Also, milk-based drinks will be included for the first time. Before, these drinks were free from tax if they had a lot of calcium. The move is part of the UK’s plan to fight obesity. According to World Atlas, the country is the seventh-biggest sugar consumer in the world. And more than 20 percent of 6th graders were obese in the 2023 — 2024 school year. The tax cut sugar in drinks by almost half from 2015 to 2024, so the UK government is hopeful about the new plan. They said that it would help prevent tooth decay, cancer and more. However, some questioned why the tax does not apply to other foods, such as candies. Many drink makers are upset that they will have to spend money in changing recipes and labels. 62. Why did the UK introduce the sugar tax? A. To increase the price of drinks. B. To reduce sugar in drinks and fight obesity. C. To encourage people to drink more milk. D. To support local drink makers. 63. What will change in 2028 according to the new plan? A. The tax will be removed. B. Milk drinks will be taxed for the first time. C. All foods will be included in the tax. D. The sugar limit will be raised to 5.5g/100ml. 64. What was one result of the sugar tax since 2015? A. Drink sales had dropped. B. Sugar in drinks had been cut by almost half. C. Obesity rates had increased. D. Milk consumption had risen. 65. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Everyone supports the new tax. B. The tax has no effect on health. C. Some people are not satisfied with the tax. D. Drink makers are happy with the changes. 【答案】62. B 63. B 64. B 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国政府计划扩大含糖饮料税的范围（包括牛奶饮料）并降低含糖限值，阐述了该政策的目的、过往成效以及部分行业人士的质疑。 【62题详解】 根据第一段中“This tax was first introduced in April 2018 to get drink makers to use less sugar and to help consumers choose healthier products.”以及第三段中“The move is part of the UK’s plan to fight obesity.”可知，英国引入糖税是为了减少饮料中的糖分并对抗肥胖。 【63题详解】 根据第二段中“But starting on Jan 1, 2028 ... Also, milk-based drinks will be included for the first time.”可知，2028年的新计划中，基于牛奶的饮料将首次被纳入征税范围。 【64题详解】 根据第四段中“The tax cut sugar in drinks by almost half from 2015 to 2024”可知，自2015年以来征收糖税的一个结果是饮料中的糖分减少了近一半。 【65题详解】 最后一段主要讲述了部分人群和制造商对新税收政策的不满和质疑。 D Amy, a 15-year-old girl, has won a master oyster gardener prize. She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it,” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs. So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. 66. What is Amy’s opinion about oysters? A. They are delicious. B. They are harmful. C. They are helpful to the environment. D. They are difficult to raise. 67. How did Amy learn about oyster gardening? A. From her mom. B. From a free course. C. From a book. D. From a TV show. 68. What does the word “diminished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Increased. B. Disappeared. C. Decreased. D. Improved. 69. Why does Amy pull the cages out of water weekly? A. To clean the cages. B. To feed the oysters. C. To check the oysters. D. To move them to another place. 70. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Young Oyster Gardener B. How to Cook Oysters C. Oysters and Pollution D. A Free Gardening Course 【答案】66. C 67. B 68. C 69. C 70. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了15岁女孩艾米通过参加免费课程学习养殖牡蛎，每周照料牡蛎并已培育1500多只，这些牡蛎将被“种植”到珊瑚礁以净化海水的故事，体现了艾米对环境保护的贡献。 【66题详解】 根据第一段中“She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars.”可知，艾米认为牡蛎是环保之星，对环境很有帮助。 【67题详解】 根据第二段中“I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it,”可知，艾米是在完成一门关于牡蛎养殖的免费课程后学会相关知识的。 【68题详解】 根据第三段中“There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished.”可知，过去沿海水域有很多牡蛎，“But”表示转折，暗示现在数量发生了变化。结合后文提到自然灾害可知，数量减少了，因此“diminished”意为“减少”，与选项C“Decreased”同义。 【69题详解】 根据第五段中“She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.”可知，艾米每周把笼子从水里拉出来是为了检查牡蛎的状况。 【70题详解】 全文围绕15岁女孩艾米养殖牡蛎、保护环境的核心事件展开。选项A“A Young Oyster Gardener”既概括了核心人物及其年龄特征，也体现了其核心行为，最贴合文章内容。 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 To improve your English, reading newspapers like 21st Century Teens can be very helpful. Here are some tips: First, choose articles that interest you. If you like sports, read about sports. If you enjoy stories, read the life and culture sections. This will make reading more fun and less like homework. Second, don’t try to understand every word. It is more important to understand the main idea and guessing from the context is a useful skill. You can also write them down and look them up later. Third, read aloud sometimes. This helps with pronunciation and speaking skills. You can also record yourself and listen to see how you sound. Fourth, discuss what you read with friends or teachers. Talking about the articles helps you remember the content and practice speaking. Finally, be consistent.

It’s a month-long event with hands-on activities in STEM for kids, especially girls. “Our mission is to help girls in STEM, and we do this through after-school programs, summer camps and community events,” said Girlstart’s IT specialist Kyla Kalugdan.

Two days later, on Polar Bear Parachutes Day, they can design and test a parachute to help a toy polar bear land safely. “Kids will get to take part in lots of STEM activities with a fun winter theme,” Kalugdan said. 59.

This tax was first introduced in April 2018 to get drink makers to use less sugar and to help consumers choose healthier products. Right now, it applies to drinks with 5 grams or more of sugar per 100 milliliters. But starting on Jan 1, 2028, the sugar limit will be reduced to 4.5 grams per 100 milliliters. Also, milk-based drinks will be included for the first time. Before, these drinks were free from tax if they had a lot of calcium. The move is part of the UK’s plan to fight obesity. According to World Atlas, the country is the seventh-biggest sugar consumer in the world. And more than 20 percent of 6th graders were obese in the 2023 — 2024 school year. The tax cut sugar in drinks by almost half from 2015 to 2024, so the UK government is hopeful about the new plan. They said that it would help prevent tooth decay, cancer and more. However, some questioned why the tax does not apply to other foods, such as candies. Many drink makers are upset that they will have to spend money in changing recipes and labels. 62.

She thinks oysters are really helpful. They are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening when I started in 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course about it,” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “Anyone can join,” an oyster gardening researcher Liz Black says. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy and her mom go to the beach. There Amy has nine cages. “Once a week I go out there,” she says. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. Amy will go with Liz to pick them up. Oysters that are collected will then be “planted” on the reefs. So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. 66. What is Amy’s opinion about oysters? A. They are delicious. B. They are harmful. C. They are helpful to the environment. D. They are difficult to raise. 67. How did Amy learn about oyster gardening? A. From her mom. B. From a free course. C. From a book. D. From a TV show. 68. What does the word “diminished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Increased. B. Disappeared. C. Decreased. D. Improved. 69. Why does Amy pull the cages out of water weekly? A. To clean the cages. B. To feed the oysters. C. To check the oysters. D. To move them to another place. 70. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Young Oyster Gardener B. How to Cook Oysters C. Oysters and Pollution D.

Here are some tips: First, choose articles that interest you. If you like sports, read about sports. If you enjoy stories, read the life and culture sections. This will make reading more fun and less like homework. Second, don’t try to understand every word. It is more important to understand the main idea and guessing from the context is a useful skill. You can also write them down and look them up later. Third, read aloud sometimes. This helps with pronunciation and speaking skills. You can also record yourself and listen to see how you sound. Fourth, discuss what you read with friends or teachers. Talking about the articles helps you remember the content and practice speaking. Finally, be consistent. Try to read a little every day, even if it’s just one short article. Over time, you will see great improvement in your English. 71.
