The generation that grew up online now wants out It’s the love-hate relationship that defined a generation. We think we know all about teenagers and the phones they’re so closely tied to. They sleep with phones under the pillow and even panic at the prospect of ____1____ (deny) WiFi. Yet the first generation to have never really known a life without social media is now grown up enough to reflect on ____2____ it may have done to them, and the answers are heartbreaking. Two-thirds of 16-to-24-year-olds think social media does more harm than good, according to a survey for the New Britain Project. Half thought they spent too much time on it when they were younger, with regret ____3____ (high) among those who started using social media youngest. And most tellingly of all, four in five said they ____4____ (keep) their own children away from screens if they became parents. This isn’t how anyone talks about happy scenes, ____5____ how you look back on a miserable relationship. Though the focus groups confirmed parents’ desperation ____6____ assistance in preventing children from screens, what’s refreshing about the research is that it indicates less generational conflicts than commonly perceived. ____7____ it turns out, Generation Z don’t need more lectures from their often equally addicted elders about getting off that bloody phone. If anything, they ____8____ be quietly writing the rulebook we failed to provide. This Friday, parliament will vote on a mobile phone safety bill, ____9____ (expect) to be approved by the government, but only after substantial amendments (修订) to its controversial clauses. Meanwhile, in a striking contrast, Generation Z are taking matters into their own hands. For example, some of them now seem _____10_____ (try) to rediscover pre-digital socialization patterns, organizing offline meetups where mobile phones are deliberately left at the door to cultivate deeper human connections. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. coat B. combination C. costly D. expenses E. infections F. interfere G. minimizing H. harsh I. stemming J. warm-toned K. worn-out The costlier, the better? “When it comes to health and wellness, people tend to prioritize diet and exercise above all else. Many underestimate the role that skin health plays, ____11____ its significance.” says a dermatologist (皮肤科医生) at the University of California. In fact, this largest organ of the body is vital to health, keeping moisture (水分) in and bacteria out. There are many things that can ____12____ with these functions. Dry weather draws moisture from the skin. Bathing or showering too often or using ____13____ cleansers that wash away naturally occurring oils, can also cause problems. When the skin becomes too dry, it can cause cracks (裂纹) in the skin which can lead to ____14____. Interestingly, some people are more subject to skin dryness than others. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, those with ____15____ skin are less likely to have dry skin than people with black, brown or fair skin. Age is also a factor. The skin naturally produces chemicals called sebums that ____16____, protect and moisturize the skin. Oil production tends to peak during adolescence and then slowly decreases over time. To relieve skin dryness, experts say that cheaper products work just as well as the ____17____ ones, so people don’t need to break the bank. Where the extra ____18____ may pay off is on products that reduce the signs of ageing. As people age, skin cell production slows and the skin becomes thinner. Older people also produce less collagen, which keeps the skin smooth and firm. This ____19____ leads to wrinkles. Retinol and other retinoids, a class of products chemically ____20____ from vitamin A, reduce the appearance of wrinkles. A study on 36 elderly participants found fewer wrinkles on arms treated with retinol. Nearly 20 years later, experts still recommend it to reduce signs of aging. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nowadays, people live online and generate far more data than they did just a decade ago. Everyone leaves digital traces behind when they die, either deliberately, in the form of social-media profiles and posts, or ____21____, with web searches, phone-location data and so on. Unlike bodies, data do not ____22____. This condition makes the modern world “post-mortal (数字身后时代)”. The dead remain there for us in a way that has not been ____23____ in pre-digital society. The digital era has reshaped humans’ relationship with the dead. For instance, a Facebook notification to send birthday wishes to a late family member may pop up. That sort of ____24____ would probably never have happened before social media, because everyone who knew that person’s birthday also would have known that he was dead. Such notifications are set to grow more common and research suggests that, on Facebook, the dead may well ____25____ the living within 40 years. Advanced technology enables a continued, even active relationship with the dead. In 2022 Amazon announced that it was developing a feature allowing its virtual assistant, Alexa to ____26____ the voice of a deceased relative. ____27____, startups have used data to make chatbots of the departed. There is no doubt that more ____28____ versions will follow. However, despite its good implications, this technology also raises a series of ____29____ questions. To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or something that, _____30_____, they are a digital analogue (类似物) to a physical body? If data are a digital equivalent, what obligations does that _____31_____ on the living? After all, most cultures dislike just leaving a dead body in the open to break down. These are not merely questions for individuals wondering what to do with their loved ones’ _____32_____. They are questions for society at large. After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their writers may have preferred to keep the contents private, but the _____33_____ such documents can shine on humanity’s past outweighs the late owner’s wishes. A political scientist notes that data _____34_____ “the biggest archive (档案) of human behaviour in the history of our species”; data are therefore an irreplaceable, invaluable record for future generations. As this record is collective, _____35_____ for it should be, too. Therefore, establishing clear frameworks for its preservation and ethical access becomes essential. 21.

This is such a different experience than Tokyo, aka the COVID Olympics, where we were separated from each other with little social interaction. I’m approaching Paris with fresh eyes because it feels like the whole city is at my fingertips to explore. I’m taking a lot of pictures and putting my heart and soul into it because while one Olympics is cool, getting to my second is very special. I’m trying to make sure I enjoy every moment. At the Olympic trials in June, races were late in the day and just sitting around watching YouTube made me anxious. But instead of tensing up, I started jumping on the bed to loosen up my legs and doing things that relaxed me and got me back into my body. When the anxiety shows up physically, I know I need to regain control. Things like jumping on the bed put me back in the driver’s seat. But as it gets closer to race day, it’s a different story. I can be short-tempered. The smallest things can crash my gears like if I’m getting too many texts or someone’s playing loud music. That’s how I know I’m anxious because those things would not bother me otherwise. I remember before I stepped onto the field, I took a deep breath, looked in the mirror and said, “Kendall, you can’t get too worked up because if you get emotional, it’s going to affect your body and your race.” I had to stay level-headed and calm, and I was proud that I handled the incident with such self-control. In the past, I’ve let my anxiety take over and ruin races, so it made me proud to have the maturity to self-regulate and decide that I wasn’t going to let my emotions rob me of a personal record. I tell the young women I coach at Voice In Sport that the moment isn’t bigger than you even in the case of the Olympics, the world’s biggest stage. It’s a huge deal and an accomplishment in and of itself, but I tell them, “You’re here for a reason, because you’re supposed to be here. You’ve earned your spot and are just as talented as anyone else in the field.” 36. What sets Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics apart according to the writer? A. Long flight. B. Cultural engagement. C. Means of transport. D. Performance improvement. 37. What change did the writer go through with the race day approaching? A. She was sensitive to and easily bothered by minor disturbances. B. She turned to driving to feel grounded and ready for competition. C. She favored sending texts over playing loud music to relieve anxiety. D. She studied performances and analyzed strategies while watching YouTube. 38. What can be implied from the fourth paragraph? A. With self-control, the author succeeded in breaking her personal record. B. Physical training rather than mental preparations works in handling anxiety. C. The author learned from the past experiences and performed better this time. D. Her coach provided her with guidance, reminding her of hard work and potential. 39. Which quote might the author agree with most? A. Feelings are just visitors; let it be. B. Don’t stop when you are tired; stop when you are done. C. Hard days are best because that’s where champions are made. D. It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it. (B) 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack is one of the strongest battle packs from LEGO Star Wars in a very long time, offering up some brand new, unnamed and highly collectable/army-buildable characters. ——Rob Paton It’s not often that the least expensive LEGO sets in a theme include some of the best minifigures but that would appear to be a winning formula for 75580 Minions and Banana Car. Despite this benefit, the high price of 75580 Minions and Banana Car is the main hurdle (障碍) in its way to being the most appealing LEGO Despicable Me 4 set. ——Jack Yates 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter is the smallest and cheapest offering from the mini summer wave of releases by LEGO Star Wars, but that doesn’t mean anyone is going to overlook it. ——Matthew Retiring Price: $19.99 $15.99 Pieces: 109 Assembling time: 2 hours Pre-order Price: $39.99 Pieces: 108 Assembling time: 2 hours Retired Price: $12.99 Pieces: 99 Assembling time: 1.5 hours As long as you have the Brick Search app — available here for iOS and here for Android—and a minifigure box with a large data matrix code, you can find out what’s inside the box without the need to open it, wherever you are. It saves LEGO fans the cost of having to buy numerous blind boxes to ensure you get the minifigure you want. Starting with LEGO Minifigure Series 25, LEGO Minifigure boxes have a scannable code on the base of the box that the Brick Search app can read. If you are unable to scan — you either get an error message or a blue circle that spins endlessly — get in touch with andrew@tiromedia.co.uk and we’ll try and troubleshoot your issue. 40. If Tom is a fan of Star Wars, what can he get in a physical Lego shop? A. 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack B. 75580 Minions and Banana Car C. 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter D. LEGO Despicable Me 4 set 41. What is the biggest obstacle in selling 75580 Model? A. Unnamed characters. B. High pricing. C. Too many bricks. D. Long building time. 42. By scanning data matrix on box, a consumer can find _________. A. the official offering price B. specific steps in assembling C. a Series 25 minifigure model D. ways to handle scanning errors (C) At a hospital in a local farm, Lauren Kasper tended to patients resting in beds, some too sick to be transferred to a chair. Many arrived in wheelchairs or walked with canes, their bodies weakened from kidney disease. Kasper, a nurse practitioner, was struck by how young many of her patients were. “The majority of the patients that you would see in a typical outpatient center are 60-plus,” she said. “With these patients, some of them were in their 20s and their 30s, 40s. The fact that they were a really significant portion of the population was really astonishing.” This summer much of the US baked under deadly, record-breaking heat. While extreme heat exposure is commonly associated with acute emergencies like heatstroke (中暑), researchers are finding it can also contribute to longer-term health problems, like heart disease, cognitive decline and kidney failure. When the body is exposed to extreme heat, the cardiovascular (心血管) system goes into overdrive to keep the body at a safe temperature. Over time, experts say, these functions take a toll on organs like the heart and kidneys — especially for people who push themselves physically outdoors. It’s still unclear whether heat is the primary cause of the illness in otherwise healthy young people, or if other factors like pesticides, polluted drinking water or the use of painkillers are also contributing, researchers say. “This is probably multifactorial, multiple things coming together, making the wave of farm workers suffering kidney dysfunction,” said Roxana Chicas, a registered nurse and professor at Emory University. “But I do think that losing water inside the body is one of the biggest players.” Chicas said some workers with kidney disease ultimately return to their home countries because they can’t access healthcare in the US, and they have family to care for them at home. Heat protections for workers in the US are currently a patchwork. Only a handful of states have heat exposure standards. This July, the federal (联邦) government proposed a national heat standard that could go into effect next year, affecting some 36 million workers. Experts said such a standard could help prevent heat-related illnesses. But Chicas said what’s happening to farmworkers is a warning to people who might not currently feel they’re in danger. “Farmworkers, being at the frontline of climate change, are already giving us a glimpse into this kidney dysfunction associated with rising temperatures,” she said. “In a warming climate, we could all be at risk for this.” 43. Kasper was astonished to find that __________. A. many outdoor workers suffer from heatstroke B. kidney diseases were common in farmworkers C. the majority of the patients are over 60 years old D. quite a few young men are victims of kidney diseases 44. The underlined phrase “take a toll on” in para. 3 means __________. A. add stress to B. put up with C. make use of D. break down into 45. What can be inferred from the last 3 paragraphs? A. The US national heat standard has been put into use this July. B. Global warming may bring potential kidney disease risks to everyone. C. Polluted drinking water may be the primary causes for the kidney diseases. D. Farm workers return to their own countries because they lack money for treatment. 46. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Growing Concern in the US about Kidney Failure. B. A Nurse’s Experience with Outdoor Farm Workers. C. Long-Term Health Impacts of Extreme Heat Revealed. D. Benefits of National Heat Standards for Outdoor Workers. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Why Hustle (忙碌) Culture Is Failing You If you listen to today’s experts talking about success, you’ll hear a near-identical philosophy: Hustle harder. Work harder. Kill it. It sounds like success is just a matter of willpower — push yourself hard enough, and the life of your dreams is within reach. Many young people are buying into this mindset, spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals, only to find themselves exhausted, frustrated, and unfulfilled. Hustle culture promises success, but it often leads to burnout and disappointment. ____47____ Here’s why hustle culture is likely to make you feel worse, and why persistence is the real key to long-term happiness. Hustle culture glorifies big, ambitious goals. But what it won’t tell you is that most of these goals require a mix of timing, luck, and sometimes even genetics. ____48____ If you’re constantly striving for massive achievements without acknowledging the role of external factors, you’re likely to face disappointment. When that comes, it’s easy to internalize it as a personal failure. Persistence culture, on the other hand, emphasizes consistent effort over time. It encourages growth, learning, and steady improvement — factors that are within your control. Another major flaw of hustle culture is its obsession with outcomes rather than the process. It tells you to chase success at all costs, even if that means doing things you hate along the way. For example, let’s say you love podcasting. You enjoy the conversations, the storytelling, the connection with your audience. ____49____ To “succeed, ” you have to start making TikTok videos and learning marketing strategies — neither of which you actually enjoy.____50____ It asks: Do you enjoy what you’re doing? Does it energize you? Can you see yourself doing it for years, regardless of ultimate success? When you love the process, you don’t need external recognition to keep going. A. Persistence culture, in contrast, prioritizes the process itself. B. Persistence culture shifts the focus of measuring success inward. C. No matter how hard you hustle, success isn’t always within your control. D. The truth is that success doesn’t come from mindless hustle, but something deeper: persistence. E. Maybe your podcast isn’t winning millions of downloads — but are you becoming a better interviewer? F. But if you follow the hustle mentality, your focus shifts to audience growth and social media engagement. IV. Vocabulary Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. A. command B. composed C. bounds D. disciplines E. deposits 51. Picasso’s work Guitar is ________ of newspaper clippings and wallpaper — challenging traditional art definitions. 52. During the museum tour, the ropes around the ancient artifacts meant they were out of _________, though you could still admire them from a distance. 53. The castle towers ________ a breathtaking view of the entire valley below, where farmers could be seen cultivating the crops in the fields. 54. Archaeologists and historians carefully brushed away the ash ________ from the ancient volcanic eruption, revealing well-preserved stone tools underneath. 55. People with a fixed mindset are less likely than those with a growth mindset to generate novel solutions that integrate different _________. V. Summary Writing 56. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Keeping the Kids Eating Healthy Fruits and vegetables are super important for kids to be able to grow up healthy and strong. Science recommends that children aged 2 to 18 get at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day. But getting kids to eat their fruits and vegetables is often easier said than done. If you need additional reasons to help your kids boost their intake, new research has found that students who eat more fruits and vegetables might have better mental well-being than those who eat less. A recent study published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health looked at 9,000 students from across the U.K. About 7,500 were in secondary school, and 1,500 were in primary school. Students self-reported their diet and were given age-appropriate tests for mental well-being that looked at happiness, relaxation and healthy interpersonal relationships. The study found a strong association between eating more fruits and vegetables and higher mental well-being scores. However, only about 25 percent of the students met the recommendation of at least five servings of produce a day. Another interesting finding concerned breakfast, an especially important meal for school-age kids, as it provides the fuel they need to learn and function in general. However, the research found that more than one in five secondary schoolchildren and one in 10 primary schoolchildren didn’t cat a standard breakfast at all, and many just had a snack or drink in place of a meal. Those who had a full breakfast had significantly better mental well-being scores than those who skipped the morning meal. In short, the findings suggest that eating a healthy diet that includes a full breakfast and at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day leads to the best mental-health outcomes for children. Unfortunately, many students surveyed were missing the mark with either fruits and vegetables, breakfast, or both. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

This Friday, parliament will vote on a mobile phone safety bill, ____9____ (expect) to be approved by the government, but only after substantial amendments (修订) to its controversial clauses. Meanwhile, in a striking contrast, Generation Z are taking matters into their own hands. For example, some of them now seem _____10_____ (try) to rediscover pre-digital socialization patterns, organizing offline meetups where mobile phones are deliberately left at the door to cultivate deeper human connections. 【答案】1. being denied 2. what 3. highest 4. would keep 5. but 6. for 7. As 8. may 9. expected 10. to be trying 【解析】 【导语】本文通过一项调查指出，伴随网络成长起来的Z世代如今开始反思社交媒体给自身带来的伤害，多数年轻人认为社交媒体弊大于利，渴望脱离网络影响，还主动探索回归线下深度社交的方式。 【1题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们把手机放在枕头底下睡觉，甚至在面临被拒绝接入WiFi的情况时会恐慌。介词at后接动名词作宾语，逻辑主语They与deny之间为被动关系，因此用动名词的被动形式being denied。 【2题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：然而，从未体验过没有社交媒体生活的第一代人现在已经长大，能够反思社交媒体对他们造成了什么影响，得到的结果令人心碎。此处reflect on后接宾语从句，从句中done缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，因此用连接代词what引导宾语从句。 【3题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：一半的人认为自己比较小的时候在社交媒体上花费了太多时间，在那些最小的时候就开始使用社交媒体的人群中，这种后悔感是最强的。根据among those who started using social media youngest可知，此处表示在这群人中后悔程度最高，暗含范围比较，应用形容词high的最高级形式highest。 【4题详解】 考查虚拟语气。句意：最说明问题的是，五分之四的人称，如果他们成为父母，他们会让自己的孩子远离电子屏幕。此处said后接宾语从句，根据if条件句中的became，表述的是对将来情况的假设，属于虚拟语气，主句谓语用“would+动词原形”。 【5题详解】 考查连词。句意：这不是人们谈论快乐场景的方式，这是你回顾一段痛苦关系的方式。本句符合固定结构“not...but...”，意为“不是……而是……”，连接并列的how宾语从句。 【6题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管焦点小组证实了父母在阻止孩子接触电子屏幕这件事上迫切需要帮助，但这项研究令人耳目一新的点在于，它表明代际冲突并没有人们普遍认为的那么多。desperation for...为固定搭配，表示“对……的迫切需求”。 【7题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：事实证明，Z世代不需要那些经常同样沉迷手机的长辈们进行更多说教，让他们放下那该死的手机。此处as引导非限制性定语从句，指代后文整个句子的内容，且表“正如”，as it turns out为常用表达，表示“事实证明”，句首首字母大写。 【8题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：恰恰相反，他们可能正在悄悄制定我们没能提供的规则。此处表示对当前情况的推测，语气不太肯定，符合语境的情态动词是may，表示“可能，或许”。 【9题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：本周五，议会将就手机安全法案进行投票，该法案预计将在其有争议条款经过重大修订后才会获得政府的批准。此处逻辑主语a mobile phone safety bill和expect之间为被动关系，用过去分词expected作后置定语。 【10题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，现在他们中的一些人似乎正在努力重新探索前数字时代的社交模式，组织线下聚会，在聚会中大家特意把手机留在门外，以此来培养更深层次的人际联结。seem to do sth.(似乎做某事)是固定搭配，根据now可知，此处表示“此刻正在进行的动作”，因此用不定式的进行式to be trying。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Older people also produce less collagen, which keeps the skin smooth and firm. This ____19____ leads to wrinkles. Retinol and other retinoids, a class of products chemically ____20____ from vitamin A, reduce the appearance of wrinkles. A study on 36 elderly participants found fewer wrinkles on arms treated with retinol. Nearly 20 years later, experts still recommend it to reduce signs of aging. 【答案】11. G 12. F 13. H 14. E 15. J 16.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Nowadays, people live online and generate far more data than they did just a decade ago. Everyone leaves digital traces behind when they die, either deliberately, in the form of social-media profiles and posts, or ____21____, with web searches, phone-location data and so on. Unlike bodies, data do not ____22____. This condition makes the modern world “post-mortal (数字身后时代)”. The dead remain there for us in a way that has not been ____23____ in pre-digital society. The digital era has reshaped humans’ relationship with the dead. For instance, a Facebook notification to send birthday wishes to a late family member may pop up. That sort of ____24____ would probably never have happened before social media, because everyone who knew that person’s birthday also would have known that he was dead. Such notifications are set to grow more common and research suggests that, on Facebook, the dead may well ____25____ the living within 40 years. Advanced technology enables a continued, even active relationship with the dead. In 2022 Amazon announced that it was developing a feature allowing its virtual assistant, Alexa to ____26____ the voice of a deceased relative. ____27____, startups have used data to make chatbots of the departed. There is no doubt that more ____28____ versions will follow. However, despite its good implications, this technology also raises a series of ____29____ questions. To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or something that, _____30_____, they are a digital analogue (类似物) to a physical body? If data are a digital equivalent, what obligations does that _____31_____ on the living? After all, most cultures dislike just leaving a dead body in the open to break down. These are not merely questions for individuals wondering what to do with their loved ones’ _____32_____. They are questions for society at large. After all, historians often study the diaries of the dead. Their writers may have preferred to keep the contents private, but the _____33_____ such documents can shine on humanity’s past outweighs the late owner’s wishes. A political scientist notes that data _____34_____ “the biggest archive (档案) of human behaviour in the history of our species”; data are therefore an irreplaceable, invaluable record for future generations. As this record is collective, _____35_____ for it should be, too. Therefore, establishing clear frameworks for its preservation and ethical access becomes essential. 21.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕数字时代下死者遗留的数字数据展开讨论，介绍了数字技术让死者以数据形式留存的现象，也探讨了这项技术背后引发的伦理性、社会性问题，指出建立清晰的数据管理框架十分必要。 【21题详解】 考查副词。句意：每个人去世后都会留下数字痕迹，这些痕迹要么是有意留下的，以社交媒体资料和帖子的形式存在，要么是无意间留下的，比如网络搜索、手机定位数据等等。A. visibly可见地；B. mechanically机械地；C. accidentally意外地，无意间；D. purposefully有目的地。根据文中“either deliberately...or...”可知这里和deliberately(有意地)形成对比，根据“with web searches, phone-location data and so on”可知这些数据都是用户在使用过程中无意间留下的，因此accidentally符合语境。 【22题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：和身体不同，数据不会分解腐烂。A. break down分解，损坏；B. break out爆发；C. break through突破；D. break in闯入。根据“bodies”和常识，人去世后身体会逐渐分解腐烂，而数据不会，后文也提到“most cultures dislike just leaving a dead body in the open to break down”。 【23题详解】 考查形容词。句意：死者以这种方式与我们共存，而这在进入数字时代之前的社会是不可能实现的。A. possible可能的；B. worthy值得的；C. adoptable可采用的；D. indefinite不明确的。根据前文“This condition makes the modern world “post-mortal (数字身后时代)”.”可知，死者以数字数据的形式持续留存是数字时代才出现的新现象，前数字化时代不可能出现这种情况。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种提醒在社交媒体出现之前几乎不可能发生，因为所有知道这个人生日的人也都知道他已经去世了。A. remark评论；B. conclusion结论；C. warning警告；D. reminder提醒。根据前文“a Facebook notification to send birthday wishes to a late family member may pop up”可知，这个通知就是一种提醒。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：此类通知功能会越来越普遍，研究表明，未来40年内，脸书上的逝者数量可能会超过活人数量。A. outnumber数量超过，比……多；B. follow跟随；C. recall回忆；D. ignore忽视。根据前文“Such notifications are set to grow more common”并结合数据积累的规律，随着时间推移，累计去世用户的数量会超过活着的用户数量。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：2022年亚马逊宣布，他们正在开发一项功能，让虚拟助手Alexa重现已故亲属的声音。A. recreate重现，再造；B. twist扭转；C. interpret翻译，理解；D. appreciate感激，欣赏。根据前文“Advanced technology enables a continued, even active relationship with the dead”和后文“the voice of a deceased relative”可知，这项技术是用来还原重现死者的声音。 【27题详解】 考查副词。句意：同样地，创业公司已经利用数据制作出了与逝者有关的聊天机器人。A. Moreover此外；B. Likewise同样地；C. Otherwise否则；D. Nevertheless然而。前文“In 2022 Amazon announced that it was developing a feature allowing its virtual assistant, Alexa to _____ the voice of a deceased relative.”提到亚马逊开发重现逝者声音的技术，本句“startups have used data to make chatbots of the departed”提到创业公司制作逝者聊天机器人，二者都是利用数字技术复刻死者的同类技术应用，表同类列举，Likewise符合语境。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：毫无疑问，未来会出现更多逼真版本。A. endangered濒危的；B. concerned担心的；C. lifelike栩栩如生的，逼真的；D. alternative可替代的。前面提到的“virtual assistant, Alexa”和“chatbots of the departed”都是利用技术复刻逝者，目前技术可能不太完善，随着技术发展，对逝者的数字化复刻会越来越逼真。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，尽管这项技术有好的影响，它也引发了一系列哲学层面的问题。A. scientific科学的；B. philosophical哲学的；C. physiological生理学的；D. strategic战略的。根据后文提出的“To whom do the dead’s data belong? Are data something people create, or something that, ______, they are a digital analogue (类似物) to a physical body?”等关于本质和责任的问题，这些都属于哲学层面的问题。 【30题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：数据是人们创造的产物，还是从某种意义上说，它们就是身体的数字化类似物？A. in many ways在很多方面；B. on a scale在某种规模；C. by all means尽一切办法，当然可以；D. in a sense在某种意义上。根据“they are a digital analogue (类似物) to a physical body”可知，这里是对数据本质的一种定性推测，in a sense符合语境。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：如果数据是数字化的对等物，那这会给生者强加什么样的义务？A. fulfill履行；B. demand要求；C. impose强加，迫使；D. discharge解雇，释放。根据“what obligations does that”和“on the living”可知，这里为固定短语impose sth. on sb.，表示“把……强加给某人”，此处指这种属性给生者带来必须承担的义务。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些问题不仅仅是想要处理所爱之人遗物的个人会面对的问题。A. transformation转变；B. currency货币；C. landscape风景；D. remains遗留物，遗体。本文围绕“the dead’s data”展开，逝者留下的数字数据就相当于数字层面的遗留物，因此remains符合语境。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些日记的书写者可能更愿意内容保持私密，但这些文件能给人类历史带来的启示，比已故所有者的个人意愿更重要。A. truth真相；B. light光线，启发；C. wisdom智慧；D. history历史。根据“such documents can shine on humanity’s past”可知，短语shine light on表示“阐明，为……提供启示”，此处指这些历史资料能帮助人们理解过去。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：一位政治学家指出，数据构成了“人类历史上最大的人类行为档案”；因此数据是未来几代人不可替代的宝贵记录。A. resemble与……类似；B. confirm确认；C. interpret解释；D. comprise构成，组成。根据“the biggest archive (档案) of human behaviour in the history of our species”可知，数据汇聚在一起组成了这份超大档案。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：因为这份记录是集体共有的，对它的关注也应该是集体层面的。A. concern关注；B. ownership所有权；C. value价值；D. focus焦点。根据后文“establishing clear frameworks for its preservation and ethical access becomes essential”可知，这份集体数据的管理是全社会都需要关注的事。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I’ve been in Paris for 12 hours and although it’s overwhelming (不知所措的), I’m excited. This is such a different experience than Tokyo, aka the COVID Olympics, where we were separated from each other with little social interaction. I’m approaching Paris with fresh eyes because it feels like the whole city is at my fingertips to explore. I’m taking a lot of pictures and putting my heart and soul into it because while one Olympics is cool, getting to my second is very special. I’m trying to make sure I enjoy every moment. At the Olympic trials in June, races were late in the day and just sitting around watching YouTube made me anxious. But instead of tensing up, I started jumping on the bed to loosen up my legs and doing things that relaxed me and got me back into my body. When the anxiety shows up physically, I know I need to regain control. Things like jumping on the bed put me back in the driver’s seat. But as it gets closer to race day, it’s a different story. I can be short-tempered. The smallest things can crash my gears like if I’m getting too many texts or someone’s playing loud music. That’s how I know I’m anxious because those things would not bother me otherwise. I remember before I stepped onto the field, I took a deep breath, looked in the mirror and said, “Kendall, you can’t get too worked up because if you get emotional, it’s going to affect your body and your race.” I had to stay level-headed and calm, and I was proud that I handled the incident with such self-control. In the past, I’ve let my anxiety take over and ruin races, so it made me proud to have the maturity to self-regulate and decide that I wasn’t going to let my emotions rob me of a personal record. I tell the young women I coach at Voice In Sport that the moment isn’t bigger than you even in the case of the Olympics, the world’s biggest stage. It’s a huge deal and an accomplishment in and of itself, but I tell them, “You’re here for a reason, because you’re supposed to be here. You’ve earned your spot and are just as talented as anyone else in the field.” 36. What sets Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics apart according to the writer? A. Long flight. B. Cultural engagement. C. Means of transport. D. Performance improvement. 37. What change did the writer go through with the race day approaching? A. She was sensitive to and easily bothered by minor disturbances. B. She turned to driving to feel grounded and ready for competition. C. She favored sending texts over playing loud music to relieve anxiety. D. She studied performances and analyzed strategies while watching YouTube. 38. What can be implied from the fourth paragraph? A. With self-control, the author succeeded in breaking her personal record. B. Physical training rather than mental preparations works in handling anxiety. C. The author learned from the past experiences and performed better this time. D. Her coach provided her with guidance, reminding her of hard work and potential. 39. Which quote might the author agree with most? A. Feelings are just visitors; let it be. B. Don’t stop when you are tired; stop when you are done. C. Hard days are best because that’s where champions are made. D. It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为运动员自述，对比两届奥运的不同氛围，讲述赛前焦虑变化与心态调节方法，分享情绪管控心得并传授给后辈选手。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This is such a different experience than Tokyo, aka the COVID Olympics, where we were separated from each other with little social interaction. I’m approaching Paris with fresh eyes because it feels like the whole city is at my fingertips to explore. (这次的体验和新冠时期的东京奥运会截然不同，那时选手彼此隔离、几乎没有社交。而这次我以全新的视角感受巴黎，整座城市都可供我探索体验。)”可知，两届奥运会的区别在于社交与城市文化体验。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as it gets closer to race day, it’s a different story. I can be short-tempered. The smallest things can crash my gears like if I’m getting too many texts or someone’s playing loud music. (但随着比赛日临近，一切都不一样了。我会变得脾气急躁，一点小事就能打乱心绪，比如收到大量消息或是有人播放吵闹的音乐。)”可知，临近赛事作者变得敏感，容易被微小琐事烦扰。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the past, I’ve let my anxiety take over and ruin races, so it made me proud to have the maturity to self-regulate and decide that I wasn’t going to let my emotions rob me of a personal record. (过去我总被焦虑支配、搞砸比赛，这次我成熟地做到自我调节，绝不任由情绪阻碍自己打破个人纪录，这让我十分自豪。)”可知，作者吸取过往失利的教训，本次做好情绪管控，赛场表现更好。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When the anxiety shows up physically, I know I need to regain control. (当焦虑感以身体的形式出现时，我知道自己需要重新掌控局面)”、“In the past, I’ve let my anxiety take over and ruin races, so it made me proud to have the maturity to self-regulate and decide that I wasn’t going to let my emotions rob me of a personal record. (过去我总被焦虑支配、搞砸比赛，这次我成熟地做到自我调节，绝不任由情绪阻碍自己打破个人纪录，这让我十分自豪。)”以及通读全文可知，文章围绕运动员学会接纳、调节焦虑情绪展开，强调情绪本身不可怕，掌控情绪的方式才决定赛场发挥。选项D“It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it. (压垮你的从来不是重担本身，而是你承载重担的方式。)”契合文章核心，作者最有可能认同此观点。 (B) 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack is one of the strongest battle packs from LEGO Star Wars in a very long time, offering up some brand new, unnamed and highly collectable/army-buildable characters. ——Rob Paton It’s not often that the least expensive LEGO sets in a theme include some of the best minifigures but that would appear to be a winning formula for 75580 Minions and Banana Car. Despite this benefit, the high price of 75580 Minions and Banana Car is the main hurdle (障碍) in its way to being the most appealing LEGO Despicable Me 4 set. ——Jack Yates 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter is the smallest and cheapest offering from the mini summer wave of releases by LEGO Star Wars, but that doesn’t mean anyone is going to overlook it. ——Matthew Retiring Price: $19.99 $15.99 Pieces: 109 Assembling time: 2 hours Pre-order Price: $39.99 Pieces: 108 Assembling time: 2 hours Retired Price: $12.99 Pieces: 99 Assembling time: 1.5 hours As long as you have the Brick Search app — available here for iOS and here for Android—and a minifigure box with a large data matrix code, you can find out what’s inside the box without the need to open it, wherever you are.

If Tom is a fan of Star Wars, what can he get in a physical Lego shop? A. 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack B. 75580 Minions and Banana Car C. 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter D. LEGO Despicable Me 4 set 41. What is the biggest obstacle in selling 75580 Model? A. Unnamed characters. B. High pricing. C. Too many bricks. D. Long building time. 42. By scanning data matrix on box, a consumer can find _________. A. the official offering price B. specific steps in assembling C. a Series 25 minifigure model D. ways to handle scanning errors 【答案】40. A 41. B 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是乐高热门套装的测评汇总，也向乐高爱好者推荐了一款实用的盲盒扫码工具。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack is one of the strongest battle packs from LEGO Star Wars in a very long time, offering up some brand new, unnamed and highly collectable/army-buildable characters.(75373 曼达洛伏击战套装是乐高星球大战系列多年来最出色的战斗套装之一，内含多款全新、无公开命名且极具收藏价值、适合批量组建军团的人仔。)”和Retiring(即将停产)可知，如果汤姆是《星球大战》的粉丝，他在实体乐高商店能买到75373 曼达洛伏击战套装。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Despite this benefit, the high price of 75580 Minions and Banana Car is the main hurdle (障碍) in its way to being the most ap-peeling LEGO Despicable Me 4 set.(尽管它有这一优势，但 75580 小黄人香蕉车高昂的售价，是它难以成为《神偷奶爸 4》系列最受欢迎乐高套装的主要阻碍。)”可知，销售75580型号最大的障碍是高昂的售价。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Starting with LEGO Minifigure Series 25, LEGO Minifigure boxes have a scannable code on the base of the box that the Brick Search app can read.(从乐高小人仔第 25 季开始，乐高小人仔的包装盒底部都印有可扫描编码，Brick Search 应用可以识别读取该编码。)”可知，通过扫描包装盒上的编码，消费者可以查到第 25 季人仔款式。 (C) At a hospital in a local farm, Lauren Kasper tended to patients resting in beds, some too sick to be transferred to a chair. Many arrived in wheelchairs or walked with canes, their bodies weakened from kidney disease. Kasper, a nurse practitioner, was struck by how young many of her patients were. “The majority of the patients that you would see in a typical outpatient center are 60-plus,” she said. “With these patients, some of them were in their 20s and their 30s, 40s. The fact that they were a really significant portion of the population was really astonishing.” This summer much of the US baked under deadly, record-breaking heat. While extreme heat exposure is commonly associated with acute emergencies like heatstroke (中暑), researchers are finding it can also contribute to longer-term health problems, like heart disease, cognitive decline and kidney failure. When the body is exposed to extreme heat, the cardiovascular (心血管) system goes into overdrive to keep the body at a safe temperature. Over time, experts say, these functions take a toll on organs like the heart and kidneys — especially for people who push themselves physically outdoors. It’s still unclear whether heat is the primary cause of the illness in otherwise healthy young people, or if other factors like pesticides, polluted drinking water or the use of painkillers are also contributing, researchers say. “This is probably multifactorial, multiple things coming together, making the wave of farm workers suffering kidney dysfunction,” said Roxana Chicas, a registered nurse and professor at Emory University. “But I do think that losing water inside the body is one of the biggest players.” Chicas said some workers with kidney disease ultimately return to their home countries because they can’t access healthcare in the US, and they have family to care for them at home. Heat protections for workers in the US are currently a patchwork. Only a handful of states have heat exposure standards. This July, the federal (联邦) government proposed a national heat standard that could go into effect next year, affecting some 36 million workers. Experts said such a standard could help prevent heat-related illnesses. But Chicas said what’s happening to farmworkers is a warning to people who might not currently feel they’re in danger. “Farmworkers, being at the frontline of climate change, are already giving us a glimpse into this kidney dysfunction associated with rising temperatures,” she said. “In a warming climate, we could all be at risk for this.” 43. Kasper was astonished to find that __________. A. many outdoor workers suffer from heatstroke B. kidney diseases were common in farmworkers C. the majority of the patients are over 60 years old D. quite a few young men are victims of kidney diseases 44. The underlined phrase “take a toll on” in para. 3 means __________. A. add stress to B. put up with C. make use of D. break down into 45. What can be inferred from the last 3 paragraphs? A. The US national heat standard has been put into use this July. B. Global warming may bring potential kidney disease risks to everyone. C. Polluted drinking water may be the primary causes for the kidney diseases. D. Farm workers return to their own countries because they lack money for treatment. 46. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Growing Concern in the US about Kidney Failure. B. A Nurse’s Experience with Outdoor Farm Workers. C. Long-Term Health Impacts of Extreme Heat Revealed. D. Benefits of National Heat Standards for Outdoor Workers. 【答案】43. D 44. A 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以护士Lauren Kasper的临床见闻切入，讲述极端高温长期暴露会损伤人体脏器，重点分析户外农场工人高发肾病的现状、诱因，并指出气候变暖或将让所有人面临肾脏疾病隐患。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many arrived in wheelchairs or walked with canes, their bodies weakened from kidney disease. Kasper, a nurse practitioner, was struck by how young many of her patients were. (许多患者使用轮椅或拄着拐杖行走，他们的身体因肾病而虚弱不堪。执业护士Kasper震惊地发现她的很多病人年纪都很小)”以及“With these patients, some of them were in their 20s and their 30s, 40s. The fact that they were a really significant portion of the population was really astonishing. (这些病人里不少才20多岁、30多岁、40多岁，这部分人群占比很高，实在令人震惊)”可知，Kasper惊讶地发现不少年轻人患上肾病。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When the body is exposed to extreme heat, the cardiovascular (心血管) system goes into overdrive to keep the body at a safe temperature. Over time, experts say, these functions take a toll on organs like the heart and kidneys — especially for people who push themselves physically outdoors. (人体身处极端高温环境时，心血管系统会超负荷运转，维持体温稳定。专家指出，长期如此，这些功能会对心脏、肾脏等器官____，尤其是那些经常在户外高强度活动的人)”可知，长期超负荷运作会加重多器官的负担、带来损耗，take a toll on意为“给……造成损害/产生不良影响”，add stress to语义相近。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Farmworkers, being at the frontline of climate change, are already giving us a glimpse into this kidney dysfunction associated with rising temperatures (农场工人身处气候变化一线，他们的状况已经让我们窥见气温升高引发的肾功能损伤问题)”以及“In a warming climate, we could all be at risk for this. (气候持续变暖，我们所有人都可能面临这类患病风险)”可知，全球变暖或许会给每个人带来潜在肾病患病风险。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。文章先由护士见闻引出年轻农场工人肾病高发现象，再阐释极端高温长期作用会损伤心肾器官，分析致病多重因素，最后点明气候变暖带来全民肾病隐患、相关高温防护标准亟待完善。全文核心围绕极端高温对人体产生的长期健康危害展开，选项C“Long-Term Health Impacts of Extreme Heat Revealed (极端高温带来的长期健康危害被揭示)”最适合作为文章标题。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage.

Why Hustle (忙碌) Culture Is Failing You If you listen to today’s experts talking about success, you’ll hear a near-identical philosophy: Hustle harder. Work harder. Kill it. It sounds like success is just a matter of willpower — push yourself hard enough, and the life of your dreams is within reach. Many young people are buying into this mindset, spending every waking hour working toward ambitious goals, only to find themselves exhausted, frustrated, and unfulfilled. Hustle culture promises success, but it often leads to burnout and disappointment. ____47____ Here’s why hustle culture is likely to make you feel worse, and why persistence is the real key to long-term happiness. Hustle culture glorifies big, ambitious goals. But what it won’t tell you is that most of these goals require a mix of timing, luck, and sometimes even genetics. ____48____ If you’re constantly striving for massive achievements without acknowledging the role of external factors, you’re likely to face disappointment. When that comes, it’s easy to internalize it as a personal failure. Persistence culture, on the other hand, emphasizes consistent effort over time. It encourages growth, learning, and steady improvement — factors that are within your control. Another major flaw of hustle culture is its obsession with outcomes rather than the process. It tells you to chase success at all costs, even if that means doing things you hate along the way. For example, let’s say you love podcasting. You enjoy the conversations, the storytelling, the connection with your audience. ____49____ To “succeed, ” you have to start making TikTok videos and learning marketing strategies — neither of which you actually enjoy.____50____ It asks: Do you enjoy what you’re doing? Does it energize you? Can you see yourself doing it for years, regardless of ultimate success? When you love the process, you don’t need external recognition to keep going. A. Persistence culture, in contrast, prioritizes the process itself. B. Persistence culture shifts the focus of measuring success inward. C. No matter how hard you hustle, success isn’t always within your control. D. The truth is that success doesn’t come from mindless hustle, but something deeper: persistence. E. Maybe your podcast isn’t winning millions of downloads — but are you becoming a better interviewer? F. But if you follow the hustle mentality, your focus shifts to audience growth and social media engagement. 【答案】47. D 48. C 49. F 50. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要论述了盲目追求忙碌文化不可取，真正的幸福源于长期的坚持而非单纯的拼命。 【47题详解】 由上文“Hustle culture promises success, but it often leads to burnout and disappointment. (忙碌文化承诺成功，但往往导致精疲力竭和失望。)”及下文“Here’s why hustle culture is likely to make you feel worse, and why persistence is the real key to long-term happiness. (以下是为何忙碌文化会让你感觉更糟，以及为何坚持才是长期幸福真正的关键。)”可知，上文指出了忙碌文化的弊端，下文引出了“坚持”这一核心观点。本空应起到承上启下的作用，点明成功并非源于盲目的忙碌，而是源于更深层的坚持。D选项“事实是，成功并非源于盲目的忙碌，而是源于更深层的品质：坚持。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【48题详解】 由上文“But what it won’t tell you is that most of these goals require a mix of timing, luck, and sometimes even genetics. (但它不会告诉你的是，大多数此类目标需要时机、运气，有时甚至是遗传基因的混合作用。)”及下文“If you’re constantly striving for massive achievements without acknowledging the role of external factors, you’re likely to face disappointment. (如果你在没有承认外部因素作用的情况下不断追求巨大成就，你很可能会面临失望。)”可知，上文指出成功受外部因素影响，下文指出忽视这一点会导致失望。本空应说明无论多么努力，成功并不完全受控。C选项“无论你多么努力，成功并不总是受你控制的。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【49题详解】 由上文“You love podcasting. You enjoy the conversations, the storytelling, the connection with your audience. (你热爱播客。你喜欢交谈、讲故事以及与听众建立联系。)”及下文“To “succeed,” you have to start making TikTok videos and learning marketing strategies — neither of which you actually enjoy. (为了“成功”，你必须开始制作TikTok视频并学习营销策略——这两样你其实都不喜欢。)”可知，上文描述了出于热爱的初衷，下文描述了被迫做不喜欢的事。本空应体现这种心态的转变，即从热爱过程转向追求外在指标。F选项“但如果你遵循忙碌的心态，你的注意力就会转移到受众增长和社交媒体互动上。”能承上启下，符合语境。 【50题详解】 由上文“To “succeed,” you have to start making TikTok videos and learning marketing strategies — neither of which you actually enjoy. (为了“成功”，你必须开始制作TikTok视频并学习营销策略——这两样你其实都不喜欢。)”及下文“It asks: Do you enjoy what you’re doing? Does it energize you? Can you see yourself doing it for years, regardless of ultimate success? (它会问：你喜欢你在做的事吗？它能给你能量吗？你能想象自己坚持做这件事多年吗，无论最终是否成功？)”可知，上文指出忙碌文化让人做不喜欢的事，下文提出了衡量标准。本空应引出与忙碌文化相反的“坚持文化”，并强调其对过程的重视。A选项“相比之下，坚持文化优先考虑过程本身。”能承上启下，符合语境。 IV.

Summary Writing 56. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Keeping the Kids Eating Healthy Fruits and vegetables are super important for kids to be able to grow up healthy and strong. Science recommends that children aged 2 to 18 get at least two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables each day. But getting kids to eat their fruits and vegetables is often easier said than done. If you need additional reasons to help your kids boost their intake, new research has found that students who eat more fruits and vegetables might have better mental well-being than those who eat less. A recent study published in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health looked at 9,000 students from across the U.K. About 7,500 were in secondary school, and 1,500 were in primary school. Students self-reported their diet and were given age-appropriate tests for mental well-being that looked at happiness, relaxation and healthy interpersonal relationships. The study found a strong association between eating more fruits and vegetables and higher mental well-being scores. However, only about 25 percent of the students met the recommendation of at least five servings of produce a day. Another interesting finding concerned breakfast, an especially important meal for school-age kids, as it provides the fuel they need to learn and function in general. However, the research found that more than one in five secondary schoolchildren and one in 10 primary schoolchildren didn’t cat a standard breakfast at all, and many just had a snack or drink in place of a meal. Those who had a full breakfast had significantly better mental well-being scores than those who skipped the morning meal. In short, the findings suggest that eating a healthy diet that includes a full breakfast and at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day leads to the best mental-health outcomes for children. Unfortunately, many students surveyed were missing the mark with either fruits and vegetables, breakfast, or both. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Fruits and vegetables are essential to kids’ growth, but it is difficult to get them to eat.

For the upcoming “Dialogue with Legendary Person” AI event, I would like to interview Nelson Mandela. My first question is: “In your 27 years of imprisonment, what inner strength kept you from giving up hope, and how did you forgive those who unjustly imprisoned you?” This question matters because it explores the power of resilience and forgiveness, which are essential for us when facing setbacks in studies and life. My second question is: “What advice would you give to young people who want to fight for justice but feel powerless as individuals?” This is meaningful because many of us care about social issues but often feel too small to make a difference. Mandela’s answer could inspire us to take our first steps toward positive change. I believe his wisdom would deeply resonate with our generation. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
