Unit 1 The mass media素养测评 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Wildlife reserves around the world not only save animals， but also provide an opportunity to learn more about conservation. Let’s explore some of the best reserves worldwide. Elephant Nature Park， Thailand Thailand is one of those in Asia that have an enormous number of elephants in their natural ecosystems. The Elephant Nature Park， a shelter for abandoned and rescued animals， was built in Northern Thailand. One could take a trip to look after animals and use accessible facilities for an overnight stay. The sanctuary even offers night stays in an elephant herd to enjoy the pleasures of nature. Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding（繁殖）， China Pandas， one of the globe’s cutest species， were unfortunately on the edge of extinction due to habitat damage. But with the establishment of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding， there is hope that these wonderful creatures regain their population yet again. Located in Sichuan Province， it also offers visitors walking paths and provides pandas with modern breeding and disease control facilities. Kidepo Valley National Park， Uganda Uganda is bordered to the north by South Sudan and to the east by Kenya. The Kidepo Valley National Park is located in the far northeast of Uganda and close to the borders of South Sudan and Kenya. It was designated as a game reserve. Scenic walks， for instance， are popular activities for visitors in this area. Bird-watching and wildlife tours are other enjoyable hobbies. （　　）1. What can visitors do at the Elephant Nature Park？ A. Build animal shelters. B. Participate in animal rescue. C. Enjoy overnight stays. D. Experience elephant riding tours. （　　）2. What do the last two reserves have in common？ A. They focus on research. B. They offer nature walks. C. They are located in Asia. D. They protect bird species. （　　）3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？ A. To introduce some reserves. B. To offer travelling advice. C. To show his love of tourism. D. To share conservation efforts. B It’s the common bedtime practice every parent is worried about—being asked to read the same book numerous times. But while the constant repetition might be extremely boring for mums or dads， it is the best way for toddlers（学步的小孩） to learn new words， according to research. The findings suggest parents are wasting money by spending a fortune on huge book collections in the hope that they will inspire their little ones. Instead， a small selection of favourites such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or The Gruffalo will achieve far more. Dr.Jessica Horst of the University of Sussex’s WORD Lab and her colleagues conducted an experiment to check how quickly three-year-old kids could recognize and recall six new words. The children were visited three times a week at their homes. One group heard the same story three times back to back each time and another was read three different stories. All had the same number of new words. When researchers returned a week later， they found the children who heard the same story over and over again typically learned 3.6 of the new words. Those that were exposed to a variety of stories remembered only 2.6. They also said the children in the “repetition” group learned at a faster rate than those in the “variety” group. The findings backed previous research by Dr.Horst that pointed to the benefits of familiarity. She has already introduced the technique to her son. “I read the same books to him. Sometimes， every single day he wants the same books，” she said. “We are showing that less is more. Obviously， the more books you read to a child， the more you will help him or her. But you don’t need to go crazy and buy every single Thomas the Tank Engine book. Reading the same books over and over again also helps.” Previous studies have found parents spend just 49 minutes doing things with their children each day. One in three doesn’t read to their children before putting them to bed at night. Yet 30 minutes of one-on-one literacy（识字） sessions can improve reading age by nearly two years in less than five months. （　　）4. What should parents do to benefit kids most during bedtime storytelling？ A. Read more books. B. Teach new words. C. Repeat the same story. D. Make themselves heard. （　　）5. How did Dr. Jessica Horst and her team get their findings？ A. By referring to the original study. B. By conducting an experiment with two groups. C. By talking with some kids. D. By interviewing parents randomly. （　　）6. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage？ A. To give young parents practical advice. B. To encourage parents to buy more books. C. To teach children how to read a storybook. D. To highlight the importance of reading more. （　　）7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text？ A. Repetition means a larger vocabulary B. Bedtime reading makes a big difference C. New words prevent deep understanding D. Children should spend more time reading C Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper？ And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when we are covering the same material？ The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors， including reduced concentration， an entertainment mindset（心态） and a tendency to multitask while we are consuming digital content. When reading texts of several hundred words or more， learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text. The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper， there is a literal laying on of hands， along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis（假说）”. According to this theory， people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media， which are often not so serious， and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print. Audio（音频） and video can feel more engaging than text， and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say， assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However， psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories， they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces. Digital texts， audio and video all have educational roles， especially when providing resources not available in print. However， for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for， educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same， even when they contain identical words. （　　）8. What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in Paragraph 2 mean？ A. Seem unlikely to last. B. Seem hard to explain. C. Become ready to use. D. Become easy to notice. （　　）9. What does the shallowing hypothesis assume？ A. Readers treat digital texts lightly. B. Digital texts are simpler to understand. C. People select digital texts randomly. D. Digital texts are suitable for social media. （　　）10. Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers？ A. They can hold students’ attention. B. They are more convenient to prepare. C. They help develop advanced skills. D. They are more informative than text. （　　）11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph？ A. Students should apply multiple learning techniques. B. Teachers should produce their own teaching material. C. Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education. D. Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored. D Amsterdam stands as an excellent city for cycling due to a combination of natural advantages and thoughtful urban planning. Its flat landscape makes cycling exceptionally convenient and requires little physical effort， encouraging people of all ages to choose bicycles for their daily travel. Furthermore， the city has developed a remarkable infrastructure（基础设施） to support this lifestyle. Specialized bicycle paths run alongside most streets in the city center， ensuring a safer and smoother journey for cyclists. Enough bicycle parking spaces add to the overall convenience. As a result of these factors， cycling has become deeply rooted in the local culture—an impressive 38％ of all trips are made by bike， earning Amsterdam the nickname “the City of Bicycles”. The city’s strong cycling culture has historical roots， especially the “white bike” initiative that emerged in the 1960s. A group of cycling enthusiasts proposed an ambitious idea： banning cars from the city center and promoting bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They believed this would save energy， reduce pollution， and offer free public transport. To realize this vision， they painted hundreds of bicycles white and distributed them across Amsterdam for public use. The concept was simple—anyone could take a bike for a short trip and leave it for the next user at their destination. Unfortunately， this early system faced a major challenge： within weeks， most bicycles were stolen， causing the project to fail. However， the spirit of the “white bikes” was revived（复苏） in 1999 with a new system. The new-generation shared bicycles， though no longer white but painted in bright colors， were equipped with computer tracking technology. Users needed a special card to unlock a bike from a fixed parking station and were required to return it to another designated station near their destination. This improved model addressed previous issues and proved successful. Thanks to the persistent efforts and creative ideas of its citizens， Amsterdam now enjoys the benefits of a cycling-friendly environment， including reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air. The evolution of the “white bike” concept demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform urban transport， making cities more livable and sustainable. （　　）12. Why is Amsterdam called “the City of Bicycles”？ A. Because perfect bicycle paths lead to every place throughout the city. B. Because cycling for daily travel in the city gains increasing popularity. C. Because riding is integrated into nature， city planning and local culture. D. Because Amsterdam bans driving to work regardless of age and lifestyle. （　　）13. Why did the initial “white bike” project fail？ A. Most of the bicycles were stolen shortly after the program was launched. B. The bicycles required constant maintenance and became too expensive. C. The public strongly opposed the idea of riding to work in the city center. D. It lacked enough funding and the government’s support. （　　）14. Which of the following can best describe the new system？ A. Practical and complex. B. Demanding and fancy. C. Advanced and secure. D. Flexible and expensive. （　　）15. What is the best title for the passage？ A. Amsterdam—the origin of bikes B. Amsterdam—the home of riders C. Amsterdam—a city made for cycling D. Amsterdam—a city driven by riding 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All dogs can benefit from training throughout their lives.

I have to go to and from work on two trains. I transfer at a station where I get off a subway and get on another train. This means I have to swipe（刷） my card twice—once to exit and once to enter again. The station where I transfer is in a really rough area， and the staff there deal with difficult situations every day. It was the day before my payday， and I’d just finished a night shift. I thought I had enough on my travel card， but I didn’t. At first， I thought there was something wrong with my card， so I approached a staff member for help. From the name label， I knew her name was Lucy. I anxiously explained my problem to her. She then checked my card and told me that I’d swiped my card twice earlier， which took thirty cents from my card. I was worried and asked nervously if I had reached the daily price cap（扣费上限）—I thought I only had to pay once to benefit from the free travel policy. Upon hearing my words， Lucy immediately printed a receipt showing my top-up history， usage records， and balance， and then informed me that I’d only used half the amount required to reach the cap. I almost cried when I heard that because it meant I might be stuck in this area for over twelve hours until I got paid the next day. I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town， adding that I’d have to wait until the last train. She listened to me carefully and kindly， feeling sorry for my situation. I really wanted to borrow money from her. However， I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger so easily—maybe she would even laugh at me. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1： However， sensing my embarrassment， Lucy didn’t hesitate.  　 Paragraph 2： I thanked her repeatedly， promising to repay her the next day.  　 参考答案 Unit 1 The mass media素养测评 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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 Wildlife reserves around the world not only save animals， but also provide an opportunity to learn more about conservation.

However， it is vital for us to use them wisely. Online platforms are like a double-edged sword. For one thing， these platforms make it more convenient for users to shop， work and entertain in cyberspace. But we may become addicted to it， wasting a great amount of money and time. For another， while they get us informed instantly， they are also flooded with misinformation and twisted messages， which mislead us over our opinion about the real world. Last but not least， cyber criminals are likely to take advantage of the footprints we have left on the platforms to commit crimes. Therefore， we should keep aware of the platforms’ drawbacks and potential dangers when we enjoy their convenience and benefits. 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I have just moved house and started a new job. I have to go to and from work on two trains. I transfer at a station where I get off a subway and get on another train. This means I have to swipe（刷） my card twice—once to exit and once to enter again. The station where I transfer is in a really rough area， and the staff there deal with difficult situations every day. It was the day before my payday， and I’d just finished a night shift. I thought I had enough on my travel card， but I didn’t. At first， I thought there was something wrong with my card， so I approached a staff member for help. From the name label， I knew her name was Lucy. I anxiously explained my problem to her. She then checked my card and told me that I’d swiped my card twice earlier， which took thirty cents from my card. I was worried and asked nervously if I had reached the daily price cap（扣费上限）—I thought I only had to pay once to benefit from the free travel policy. Upon hearing my words， Lucy immediately printed a receipt showing my top-up history， usage records， and balance， and then informed me that I’d only used half the amount required to reach the cap. I almost cried when I heard that because it meant I might be stuck in this area for over twelve hours until I got paid the next day. I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town， adding that I’d have to wait until the last train. She listened to me carefully and kindly， feeling sorry for my situation. I really wanted to borrow money from her. However， I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger so easily—maybe she would even laugh at me. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1： However， sensing my embarrassment， Lucy didn’t hesitate.  　Without a second thought， she took out a ten-dollar note， pressed it firmly into my palm and smiled warmly， telling me to top up the card and go home safely. Her kindness， so freely given in a place accustomed to hardship， felt like a lifeline. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that tears welled up in my eyes， my earlier anxiety replaced by sudden warmth in my chest.　 Paragraph 2： I thanked her repeatedly， promising to repay her the next day.  　The next afternoon， after receiving my pay， I went straight back to the transfer station. Looking around， I spotted Lucy helping an elderly passenger with a heavy bag. When she saw me approaching， her face lit up with recognition. Before I could even take the money out of my envelope， she shook her head gently and told me to give it to someone in need. Lucy’s selfless act reminded me that even in a rough world， kindness still shines brightly and I’d pass it on in the future.　 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
