I was holding my baby, scrolling through eBay and feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉的). I had a brief out-of-body moment, seeing myself as an outsider. There was my baby. 31 up at me, and there was me, looking down at my phone. I was 32 . It was then I decided to “break up” with my phone and set better 33 . Our most time-sucking apps, are designed to 34 our attention because that’s how their creators make money. These apps are part of the “attention economy”, where our attention and data are 35 . We are not the 36 of these apps; advertisers are. We are the product, 37 into giving our most valuable asset (资产) — our attention — away for free. We only experience what we pay attention to; we only remember what we pay attention to. Sure, there are many reasons to pay attention to our phones. But like time, our attention is 38 : Every minute spent 39 is a minute not spent on something else. App makers use psychological tricks from gambling. These tricks control the release of dopamine (多巴胺), a chemical that 40 us to repeat behaviors. This system doesn’t 41 between good and bad behaviors — it encourages 42 . Phones and apps are 43 with dopamine triggers. Bright colors, novelty, unpredictability, and rewards 44 social approval are all dopamine triggers. This is why social media, news, email, games and shopping apps are so 45 . If we don’t 46 this and fight back, we risk being controlled like lab rats. One of the first steps I took was to 47 my exposure to dopamine triggers by 48 most notifications, and hiding or deleting my most time-sucking apps. I also banned my phone from my bedroom and the dining table and 49 it in a closet at night. My relationship with my phone still isn’t 50 — no relationship ever is.

Camp rules are in place to keep the camp community safe and camp operations running smoothly throughout their stay. 1. Keep Your Personal Space Clean Since your child will be in close quarters with many other campers, it’s important that they understand the necessity of keeping their sleeping and living areas organized. Go over strategies for your child to stay organized and tidy before they leave for camp. When packing, be sure to include a laundry bag to keep clean and dirty clothes separate. Use under-the-bed space or store clothes on their shelves or in cubbies rather than having them live out of their suitcase or camp trunk. It also helps not to overpack. Follow the packing list guidelines closely so your child can find what they need without having to dig through piles of clothes that aren’t on the list. This also helps your child know what they have in their luggage, so they can grab the sweatshirt when it gets cold instead of thinking there wasn’t one in their bag. Remind your child of their camp store account so they can purchase items from the camp store if needed. 2. Valuables at Camp As a best practice, we recommend leaving all valuables at home. Even if your child has a bracelet or necklace that they never take off, there is still the chance that it could be lost while swimming or participating in camp activities. If you are thinking about bringing an expensive item of clothing, be prepared for it to get lost or damaged. You may be better off buying a new, less expensive version. To be on the safe side, don’t let your child bring anything irreplaceable or emotionally valuable to camp. 3. Play Nice Name calling, fighting, bullying, and arguing are strictly prohibited at summer camp. Camp is a place to make friends, so aggressive behavior is not tolerated. Remind your child that they don’t have to be everybody’s best friend, but they do have to be friendly to everyone. Encourage your child to go into camp with the mindset of making a few new friends, and chances are they will leave camp having made more than a few. 4. Have Fun and Try New Things At the end of the day, summer camp is about getting out of your comfort zone, trying new things, and having a blast. Before your child leaves for camp, congratulate them for being brave enough to try sleepaway camp in the first place. Let them know that they’ve already won just by trying, and the fun part is just about to begin. Remind them again that summer camp rules exist only to improve the overall camp experience and to create a community of fun. 51. What advice does the article give if a camper forgets an essential item? A. Purchase replacements from the camp store. B. Go without the item to learn responsibility. C. Ask camp staff to mail items from home. D. Borrow from friends with permission. 52. What does the article imply about bringing valuables to summer camp? A. It is only allowed for expensive clothing items. B. It is completely forbidden under all circumstances. C. It is not recommended because of the risk of loss or damage. D. It is acceptable if the child promises to take good care of them. 53. Which of the following behaviors is advocated by the summer camp? A. Engaging in arguments to resolve disagreements. B. Forming exclusive groups with similar interests. C. Avoiding participating in adventurous activities. D. Keeping personal camping supplies in order. 54. What does the article suggest about trying new things at camp? A. It is optional but highly encouraged for personal growth. B. The main goal of camp is to challenge and achieve success. C. Only experienced campers should try challenging activities. D. Stepping out of one’s comfort zone is part of the experience. 55. What is the purpose of clarifying the rules of summer camp? A. To prepare parents for potential issues and reduce their concerns. B. To ensure safety and maintain a well-organized camp environment. C. To help children adapt quickly and enjoy their camp experience fully. D. To restrict campers’ freedom and enforce strict discipline at all times. B It was a September afternoon. The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne (粉刺) and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world — were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Looking back on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that wave of fear and joy and liberation. 56. The author avoided swimming for seven years because _________. A. she had to receive treatments. B. she had no access to the cove. C. she felt insecure without makeup. D. she hated to reapply her makeup. 57. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A. Proud. B. Joyful. C. Hesitant. D. Resolved. 58. What does the author emphasize about her experience in the water? A. It reminded her of her acne struggles. B. It made her feel more self-conscious. C. It helped her escape her fears. D. It made makeup important. 59. What can we learn from this passage? A. You can’t judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. 60. Where is this passage most likely from? A. An article on swimming benefits. B. A magazine about beauty tips. C. A memoir about body image. D. A travel guide on beaches. C Picture this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $ 3.50 and the large is $ 5.50. It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $ 5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $ 5.25. Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you, but the large is only a quarter more. If you’re like most people, you end up buying the large (and taking a bathroom break midshow). If you’re wondering who would buy the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. In fact, there’s a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵), making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small. I have written about this peculiarity in human nature before with my friend Dan Ariely, who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscriptions (订阅) to The Economist. The digital subscription was $ 59, the print subscription was $ 125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $ 125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option. Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance” and it means that people gravitate toward the choice nearest a clearly inferior option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. Lucky for consumers, almost no one in the business community understands it. The decoy effect works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices. Value is almost never absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to our other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation changes. 61. Why does the author ask us to imagine buying food in the movie theater? A. To show how popular snacks are among movie fans. B. To show how hard it can be to choose a drink there. C. To illustrate the increasing variety of snacks there. D. To illustrate people’s peculiar shopping behavior. 62. Why is the medium soda priced the way it is? A. To make customers believe they are getting a bargain. B. To ensure customers drink the right amount of soda. C. To show the price matches the amount. D. To attract more customers to buy it. 63. What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment? A. More readers choose the digital over the print edition. B. The Economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best. C. The Economist’s promotional strategy works. D. Lower-priced goods attract more customers. 64. For what purpose is “the bad option” in Paragraph 3 added? A. To provide customers with a greater variety of goods. B. To trap customers into buying the more pricey item. C. To cater to the peculiar needs of some customers. D. To help customers to make more rational choices. 65. How do we assess the value of a commodity, according to the passage? A. By comparing it with other choices. B. By taking its quality into account. C. By examining its value equation. D. By considering its usefulness. D Expressions linking space to time are a common part of our day-to-day lives. You might say the morning “flew by” or that school exams are “drawing near”. Right now, you might say summer is “just around the corner”. Unlike the physical space we inhabit, time cannot be seen or touched. How, then, did humans come to talk so effortlessly about such an abstract concept? The key lies in the way we project our understanding of space to conceptualize time. Explorations of how humans conceptualize time as space are tied closely to the study of language and cognition (认知). Conceptual Metaphor Theory proposes that our conception of the world is governed by metaphors (隐喻), many of which are anchored in the three dimensions of physical space. Metaphors of time can be divided into “ego-moving” and “time-moving” metaphors, indicating the different ways of perceiving the relationship between space and time. In “ego-moving” metaphors, a person moves toward a fixed point in time, as in “we’re getting close to summer”. In “time-moving” metaphors, time moves toward the individual, as in “summer is nearly here”. When analyzing the spatial understanding of time, one particularly interesting phenomenon stands out: verbs of movement to describe the passage of time. Verbs like “progress”, “approach” or even “pass” are common examples. The use of particular verbs to describe the passage of time may reflect our subjective perception of it. For example, when we say “time flies”, we know it refers to a pleasant situation. In contrast, when we are bored or waiting for something, we might say “time drags” to express boredom and slowness. In a movie, for example, a viewer may feel that time “flies” or “drags”, depending on how interested they are in the story, or how well the film is made. Our choice of verbs not only communicates an objective fact, but also our emotional and psychological state: whether an event is “long” or “short” depends on how we feel about it. This demonstrates the interconnected nature of cognition, emotion and language in our perception of the passage of time. 66. According to the text, what can metaphors be considered to be? A. A combination of language and culture. B. A great help in understanding language. C. A link between theory in physics and human cognition. D. A powerful influence on how we understand the world. 67. Which of the following is an example of an “ego-moving” metaphor? A. Exams are soon coming up. B. We are approaching the holidays. C. Time flies when you’re having fun. D. Mother’s Day is just around the corner. 68. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? A. The use of particular verbs. B. The passage of time. C. A particular verb. D. A period of time. 69. What can we infer from the passage about viewers’ perception of time when they are watching a movie? A. Filmgoers always feel that time flies when watching a movie. B. It depends on the interconnected nature of cognition. C. It is related to their interest and the film’s quality. D. Viewers don’t care about how long a movie lasts. 70. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To give a summary of movement verbs. B. To describe what time in motion is like. C. To show the richness of human thought. D. To introduce the basic concept of metaphors. 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共35分。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Every single person has a story to share, and a growing number of older Australians are choosing to record their life memories as short films. While writing memoirs can take years, creating a life story film takes just a few hours — and the resulting films are far more vivid than writing or looking through photo albums. Television producer and director Danika Armytage, known for producing shows like The Block, River Cottage Australia, Travel Guides, and The Living Room, has launched a company called Big Stories Little Films, which specialises in creating life legacy films. Since its inception in 2024, Danika has been busy bringing people’s stories to life in film. “Our films tell life stories, capture family ancestry, and allow wisdom to be passed between generations,” Danika explains. “They are often a gift between family members — either ordered as a birthday present from the kids, or as a film gifted from the grandparents to their grandkids — it’s like a film heirloom (传家宝) to pass between generations.” Danika was inspired to start the company after filming an interview with her own grandmother, Halimah, before she passed away. “The film became priceless to my family, especially after Granny died. Now my own children can meet their great-grandmother and feel connected to our family history, even though they never met her in person. Memories fade, but films are a time capsule that safeguards stories, keeping them as vivid as if you’re sitting at the kitchen bench hearing them directly from your grandparent.” “One of my favourite films was about a brother and sister Raymond and Jennice Kersh now in their 80s, who ran the famous Sydney restaurant Edna’s Table and were pioneers in serving local ingredients in the Sydney restaurant industry. Their story is inspiring, and their recollections of growing up in Pyrmont in the 1940s, a suburb where everyone was poor but no one was lonely, are a perfect example of how these films capture living history.” These life legacy films have become more than just memory carriers — they bridge time, letting younger generations touch the past through elders’ voices and smiles. For families, they’re irreplaceable heirlooms; for society, they’re fragments of living history. As more older Australians embrace this way, countless unique stories are being saved from fading, turning personal moments into lasting family and cultural treasures. 71.
