Weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, and they are observed in just about every country and culture on the planet. Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.
Scotland
Scottish weddings usually include an ethnic handfasting (绑手礼) ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride (新娘) and bridegroom each hold a piece of cloth. These are carefully wound around the couple’s joined hands. When they pull their hands apart, the pieces become tied into a knot (结) — a symbol of the new union.
Germany
Guests at a German wedding get to see an interesting sight: the newly married couple — still dressed in their suit and wedding dress — cutting a length of a tree in half with a two-person saw (锯). In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.
Norway
A Norwegian wedding cake is made up of progressively smaller layers of iced cake rings, which give the cake the shape of a Christmas tree. The inside is empty and has gifts or even a bottle of wine. The bride and bridegroom lift the top ring of the cake, and the number of layers that stick to it is said to represent the number of children they will have!
England
Brides in England typically select “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” to wear for their big day. The modern practice comes from a traditional English song, and the things themselves represent protection, cheerfulness, good luck, and purity, respectively.
Though the customs might be diverse, the feeling remains the same. Across the world, weddings are times to celebrate love, happiness, and family.
1. Why is a two-person saw used in the German wedding?
A. To entertain the wedding guests.
B. To mark the couple’s united efforts.
C. To represent the upcoming challenges.
D. To keep the couple from hurting each other.
2. In which wedding do brides wear different things to represent different wishes?
A. The Scottish wedding. B. The German wedding.
C. The Norwegian wedding. D. The English wedding.
3. What does the text show about the wedding?
A. Rules to follow. B. Ways to treat guests.
C. Special customs. D. Cultural backgrounds.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了世界各地不同国家独特的婚礼传统习俗。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Germany部分中的“In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.(通过这种方式,他们展示了他们作为一个团队来面对生活中遇到的任何挑战的能力。)”可知,德国婚礼使用双人锯是为了展示夫妻二人共同协作的能力,彰显夫妻同心协力。

【3题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段中的“Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.(以下是来自世界各地的一些婚礼传统。)”是本文主旨句,本文旨在介绍世界各地的婚礼传统;再结合最后一段中的“Though the customs might be diverse, the feeling remains the same.(尽管习俗可能多种多样,但感情始终如一。)”可知,文章主要展示了婚礼上各具特色的特殊习俗。

Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
4. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history.
B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts.
D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
5. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave students more fact-based research papers.
B. He guided students to write in past figures’ voice.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
6. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
D. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
7. What is the main message of the text?
A. History should value facts over emotions.
B. History should be taught through story writing.
C. History is more than facts — it’s human stories.
D. Students should ask questions when learning history.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了约翰逊老师发现学生只会死记历史史实、缺乏人文感悟,于是改用人物视角故事写作教学。该方法让学生深度共情、独立思考,让历史学习不再局限于记事实。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. (尽管学生们能准确记住考试所需的日期、姓名和事件,但他们却始终无法理解历史背后的人性层面。对他们而言,过去似乎是一组固定不变的事实,缺乏情感、挣扎和个人意义。)”可知,学生虽然能记住考试所需的日期、人名和事件,但无法理解历史的人文维度,缺乏情感共鸣。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task. (为了弥补这一差距,约翰逊先生决定在学期中彻底改变教学方式,将传统的研究报告作业替换为故事写作任务。)”以及第二段中“He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. (他让学生们选择一位历史人物,从该人物的视角撰写一个故事。)”可推知,约翰逊先生让学生以历史人物的视角进行创作。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. (约翰逊先生对学生们发生的巨大变化感到十分惊讶。他收到的作文不仅正确,而且充满了真实的情感,对人们的思想有清晰的理解。)”可知,学生在完成新任务后,他们的文章反映出更强的情感理解和个人见解。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past. (他认为,当学生通过讲故事来体验历史时,他们所做的远不止记忆历史——他们开始理解历史对自己生活产生的深远影响,也更深刻地体会到作为人类的普遍意义。在他的课堂上,历史已不再仅仅是一门关于过去的知识,而成为与过去对话的过程。)”可知,全文以约翰逊老师的教学改革为例,核心观点是:历史不只是冰冷的事实集合,更是有血有肉的人的故事;学习者需要建立与历史的情感联结,理解历史背后的人性。由此可知,这段文字的主要信息是历史不仅仅是事实,更是人类的故事。

Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year. “I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co-sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.”
But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web-based banking service, which was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It offers young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money and also lets the users share their financial experiences with other young people.
“SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone,” Michael Ferrari said. “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify (指定) every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.”
SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals,” Mr. Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites.
A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online.
8. What do we know about SmartyPig?
A. It offers the best rate. B. It was created in 2008.
C. It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone. D. It is a tool for helping consumers save money.
9. What can people do on SmartyPig?
A. Have access to low rate loans. B. Receive free gifts from SmartyPig.
C. Put money in their SmartyPig accounts. D. Share their experiences of saving money.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How to save money on SmartyPig.
B. Why young people like online banking sites.
C. What SmartyPig should do to improve its services.
D. How online banking sites differ from traditional banks.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Traditional Banks Are Losing Customers B. Alix Scott’s Way to Pay for College
C. SmartyPig — An Online Saving Tool for Youth D. How Young People Make Money Online
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一款在线储蓄工具——SmartyPig,详细讲解了它的创立背景、功能特点,并分析了这类在线银行网站受到年轻人欢迎的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific goals,(SmartyPig的真正目的是帮助人们为特定目标存钱)”可知,SmartyPig的本质是帮助人们存钱的工具。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It offers young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money and also lets the users share their financial experiences with other young people.(它为年轻人提供了监管资金所需的信息和工具,还允许用户和其他年轻人分享自己的理财经历)”可知,用户可以在平台分享自己的储蓄经历。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer.

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕面向年轻人的在线储蓄工具SmartyPig展开,介绍了它的功能和受年轻人欢迎的原因,“SmartyPig——一款面向年轻人的线上储蓄工具”最贴合全文内容,适合作为文章标题。

Digital technology, ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools, can effectively assist students’ studies and daily lives. However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts. It distracts students’ attention, shortens sleep time, reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills. Importantly, these problems stem from improper usage rather than the technology itself.
Unregulated technology use greatly lowers students’ learning efficiency and quality. Classroom distraction stands out as the most common issue. According to OECD’s PISA research, 30 percent of students get distracted by digital devices during most math lessons, which leads to poorer academic performance. To make matters worse, many students depend heavily on online search results and AI answers. They abandon key steps for deep learning, including careful reading, independent thinking, problem analysis and mistake correction. As a result, although their homework appears finished, they fail to build solid, in-depth knowledge.
According to a 2025 CDC (疾控中心) report, excessive screen time does great harm to teenagers’ physical and mental health. Late-night gaming and social media use can seriously affect teenagers’ sleep. Meanwhile, prolonged screen use takes up time for outdoor sports, walking and daily exercise, leaving students in poor physical condition. In addition, social media exposes teenagers to peer comparison and the fear of missing out, causing invisible mental pressure. A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much non-school screen time is closely associated with teenagers’ poor sleep, lack of exercise and negative mental states.
Thankfully, students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines. Before studying, they need to keep phones away from desks, turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools. Before bedtime, they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom. It is also advisable to finish exercise and housework before enjoying screen time. Instead of rejecting technology completely, proper management enables technology to better support students’ learning and healthy growth.
12. What does the word “unregulated” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unprotected. B. Unfinished. C. Uncontrolled. D. Unchanged.
13. What can we infer from the 2025 CDC analysis?
A. Social media use reduces teenagers’ mental stress.
B. Outdoor exercise removes screen-caused harms.
C. Staying up late mainly leads to poor health.
D. Off-school screen time brings about health problems.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards digital technology?
A. Objective. B. Supporting. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Long screen time harms teens’ bodies and minds.
B. Proper digital use brings teens great benefits.
C. Digital tools are widely used in teens’ study.
D. Digital technology brings harm yet solutions exist.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是数字技术有益于学生,但不加管控地使用会严重影响学业与身心健康,我们可以通过科学规划日常作息、规范使用电子设备,让科技发挥正面作用。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Digital technology, ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools, can effectively assist students’ studies and daily lives. However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts.(数字技术涵盖智能手机、笔记本电脑、学习软件以及人工智能工具等,能够切实助力学生的学习与日常生活。但不加节制地使用,会产生诸多负面影响。)”可知,不加节制地使用数字技术会产生诸多负面影响,因此推断划线词所在句子表达的是“不加管控地使用电子产品,会大幅降低学生的学习效率与学习质量”,Unregulated的意思是“未受控制的,无管理的”,和Uncontrolled意思相近。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much non-school screen time is closely associated with teenagers’ poor sleep, lack of exercise and negative mental states.(2025年CDC的一项分析还证实,过多的非学校屏幕时间与青少年睡眠质量差、缺乏锻炼以及负面心理状态密切相关。)”可知,从2025年疾控中心的分析中我们可以得出的结论是课外屏幕时间会导致健康问题。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Digital technology, ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools, can effectively assist students’ studies and daily lives. However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts. It distracts students’ attention, shortens sleep time, reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills.(数字技术涵盖智能手机、笔记本电脑、学习应用程序以及人工智能工具,能够高效辅助学生的学习与日常生活。然而,毫无节制地使用数字设备会带来诸多负面影响:分散学生注意力、压缩睡眠时间、减少体育锻炼,还会削弱自主学习能力。)”可知,作者客观描述数字技术的好处和坏处,因此态度是客观的。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts. It distracts students’ attention, shortens sleep time, reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills.(然而,毫无节制地使用数字设备会带来诸多负面影响:分散学生注意力、压缩睡眠时间、减少体育锻炼,还会削弱自主学习能力。)”和最后一段“Thankfully, students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines. Before studying, they need to keep phones away from desks, turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools. Before bedtime, they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom. It is also advisable to finish exercise and housework before enjoying screen time. Instead of rejecting technology completely, proper management enables technology to better support students’ learning and healthy growth.(所幸,学生们可以通过养成科学的日常作息来规避这些隐患。学习前,要将手机远离书桌,关闭容易让人分心的消息推送,只使用必不可少的数码工具。睡前,应当在固定时间停止一切线上娱乐活动,并把手机放到卧室外充电。另外,建议先完成运动和家务,再使用电子设备。我们不必彻底排斥数字技术,合理管控才能让它更好地助力学生学习与身心健康成长。)”可知,本文主要讲的是数字技术有益于学生,但不加管控地使用会严重影响学业与身心健康,我们可以通过科学规划日常作息、规范使用电子设备,让科技发挥正面作用,因此主旨是D选项“Digital technology brings harm yet solutions exist.(数字技术虽带来危害,但已有解决方案。)”。

【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了如何通过关注健康监测、调整营养饮食、安排适宜运动以及重视情感陪伴这四个方面,为老年犬提供全面而细致的关怀。
【16题详解】
前文“Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. (与狗狗共度生活是一段充满爱的旅程,这份爱会随着岁月的流逝而愈发深厚。当我们的伙伴步入老年之时,它们对于持续的舒适与快乐的需求也会发生变化。)”提到老年犬对舒适和快乐的需求会变化,后文“It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. (这需要采取一种全面的方法,涵盖它们健康状况的变化、行动能力以及情绪健康等方面。)”指出满足其需求需要全面的方法,因此G项“Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. (照顾你的老年犬,远不止常规的散步和喂食。)”符合语境,指出照顾老年犬有更高的要求,既承接前文的需求改变,又引出后文的方法,其中的Taking care of your senior dog是后文It指代的对象。
【17题详解】
前文“Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. (记得要密切留意它们的行为表现。)”提醒关注老年犬的行为表现,因此D项“Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. (任何微小的相关变化通常是第一线索。)”符合语境,解释为何要关注其行为,承接前文。
【18题详解】
前文“As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. (随着狗狗年龄的增长,它们的营养需求也会发生变化。需要调整其饮食并监测体重,以预防任何与肥胖相关的健康问题。)”建议调整老年犬的饮食并监控体重,后文“Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. (还可以考虑给老年犬喂食一些补充剂,比如含有促进关节健康的成分的复合维生素,以及有助于提升大脑功能和维护皮肤健康的健康脂肪。)”进一步说明调整饮食的具体方法,因此A项“Choose high-quality senior dog food. (选择高品质的老年犬粮。)”符合语境,是调整饮食的首要具体方法,承接前文,和后文是递进关系。
【19题详解】
前文“Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. (你的狗狗可能不像以前那样精力充沛了,所以调整一下它们的运动计划是合理的。)”建议调整老年犬的运动,后文“Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. (像游泳这样的活动也很棒,因为它们提供全面的锻炼,以保持肌肉量和关节灵活性,而且不会给年迈的骨骼带来压力。)”进一步举例游泳这种锻炼方式,因此E项“Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. (考虑温和的散步,而非要求高的体育活动。)”符合语境,举例散步这一锻炼方式,承接前文,和后文游泳的例子并列。
【20题详解】
后文“Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. (和你的老年犬一起度过美好时光,做一些它们喜欢的活动。你的陪伴对它们来说是无价之宝。)”建议陪伴老年犬,满足其情感需求,因此C项“Emotional well-being should not be ignored. (情感健康不应被忽视。)”符合语境,指出情感健康的重要性,作为段首句统领后文。

【答案】Is money a must for happiness?
When it comes to whether money is a must for happiness, opinions vary. As far as I’m concerned, money is not the only key to a happy life.
Admittedly, money buys us comfort and security, freeing us from material worries. However, true happiness stems from priceless treasures: the quality time with family, the reliable support from friends, and the sense of achievement after conquering difficulties. These experiences are far beyond the reach of money.
In short, while money is necessary for survival, a content heart matters far more than a fat wallet.

47. 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。
A holiday in Penang is an annual affair for my family. My parents grew up in Penang and are very fond of Penang food. In December every year, we would drive up to the island to spend three days visiting their favorite food haunts (常去的地方).
This year, we started our journey up north on a Friday morning. It took us six hours to reach our destination. We always stayed at one of the hotels in Batu Ferringhi. The beach was just a short walk from the hotel entrance and our rooms had a lovely view of the sea. We spent our first evening playing on the beach. After dinner, we returned to our rooms to play games. My parents had a rule for our holidays which was that we were to spend time doing things together. There was to be no TV and no Internet.
The next morning, we went to Bukit Bendera and then spent the rest of the afternoon in town visiting our favorite hawker stalls (小贩摊位). As we were having tea at a coffee shop, we overheard people talking about an earthquake near Sumatera, an island in Indonesia. We headed back to the hotel and then went to the beach. We took a walk along the beach, picking up seashells along the way. Looking up, I saw the sun shining brighter than I ever knew before. I saw a tree trembling in the distance as it reflected the sun’s rays. It never occurred to us that something awful would take place. Suddenly, I noticed a strange thing. The sea seemed to be leaving from the shore. I called my father to look at the curious occurrence. My father took one look and went pale. We saw a grey line in the distance moving towards the shore. It seemed to grow taller by the second.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
My father shouted at us to run back to the hotel. He grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. As we reached the hotel gate, we heard a roaring sound behind us. Quickly, my father pushed us towards the stairs. Fear gripped us and we reached the first floor when we heard the roar of rushing water and glass breaking. My father yelled at us to keep climbing. We stopped on the fourth floor and looked down at the water below us. It had stopped rising. After some minutes, it began to drop.
We waited a long time before going downstairs. Hardly had the rushing water dropped when we saw the unrecognizable hotel gate. There was dirt and broken furniture everywhere. Some people who were caught in the water were either unconscious or burst into tears with pain. What we saw weakened our heart and we decided to help the victims after a narrow escape. Never had I had such a thrilling yet dangerous vacation before. The special trip to Penang was deeply impressive in my mind.

A
Weddings are one of life’s biggest celebrations, and they are observed in just about every country and culture on the planet. Here are some wedding traditions from around the world.
Scotland
Scottish weddings usually include an ethnic handfasting (绑手礼) ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride (新娘) and bridegroom each hold a piece of cloth. These are carefully wound around the couple’s joined hands. When they pull their hands apart, the pieces become tied into a knot (结) — a symbol of the new union.
Germany
Guests at a German wedding get to see an interesting sight: the newly married couple — still dressed in their suit and wedding dress — cutting a length of a tree in half with a two-person saw (锯). In this way, they show their ability to work as a team to face any challenge they will meet in life.
Norway
A Norwegian wedding cake is made up of progressively smaller layers of iced cake rings, which give the cake the shape of a Christmas tree. The inside is empty and has gifts or even a bottle of wine. The bride and bridegroom lift the top ring of the cake, and the number of layers that stick to it is said to represent the number of children they will have!
England
Brides in England typically select “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” to wear for their big day. The modern practice comes from a traditional English song, and the things themselves represent protection, cheerfulness, good luck, and purity, respectively.
Though the customs might be diverse, the feeling remains the same. Across the world, weddings are times to celebrate love, happiness, and family.
1. Why is a two-person saw used in the German wedding?
A. To entertain the wedding guests.
B. To mark the couple’s united efforts.
C. To represent the upcoming challenges.
D. To keep the couple from hurting each other.
2. In which wedding do brides wear different things to represent different wishes?
A. The Scottish wedding. B. The German wedding.
C. The Norwegian wedding. D. The English wedding.
3. What does the text show about the wedding?
A. Rules to follow. B. Ways to treat guests.
C. Special customs. D. Cultural backgrounds.
B
Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
4. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history.
B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts.
D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
5. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave students more fact-based research papers.
B. He guided students to write in past figures’ voice.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
6. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
D. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
7. What is the main message of the text?
A. History should value facts over emotions.
B. History should be taught through story writing.
C. History is more than facts — it’s human stories.
D. Students should ask questions when learning history.
C
Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year. “I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co-sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.”
But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web-based banking service, which was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It offers young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money and also lets the users share their financial experiences with other young people.
“SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone,” Michael Ferrari said. “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify (指定) every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.”
SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals,” Mr. Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites.
A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online.
8. What do we know about SmartyPig?
A. It offers the best rate. B. It was created in 2008.
C. It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone. D. It is a tool for helping consumers save money.
9. What can people do on SmartyPig?
A. Have access to low rate loans. B. Receive free gifts from SmartyPig.
C. Put money in their SmartyPig accounts. D. Share their experiences of saving money.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How to save money on SmartyPig.
B. Why young people like online banking sites.
C. What SmartyPig should do to improve its services.
D. How online banking sites differ from traditional banks.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Traditional Banks Are Losing Customers B. Alix Scott’s Way to Pay for College

Digital technology, ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools, can effectively assist students’ studies and daily lives. However, uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts. It distracts students’ attention, shortens sleep time, reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills. Importantly, these problems stem from improper usage rather than the technology itself.
Unregulated technology use greatly lowers students’ learning efficiency and quality. Classroom distraction stands out as the most common issue. According to OECD’s PISA research, 30 percent of students get distracted by digital devices during most math lessons, which leads to poorer academic performance. To make matters worse, many students depend heavily on online search results and AI answers. They abandon key steps for deep learning, including careful reading, independent thinking, problem analysis and mistake correction. As a result, although their homework appears finished, they fail to build solid, in-depth knowledge.
According to a 2025 CDC (疾控中心) report, excessive screen time does great harm to teenagers’ physical and mental health. Late-night gaming and social media use can seriously affect teenagers’ sleep. Meanwhile, prolonged screen use takes up time for outdoor sports, walking and daily exercise, leaving students in poor physical condition. In addition, social media exposes teenagers to peer comparison and the fear of missing out, causing invisible mental pressure. A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much non-school screen time is closely associated with teenagers’ poor sleep, lack of exercise and negative mental states.
Thankfully, students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines. Before studying, they need to keep phones away from desks, turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools. Before bedtime, they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom. It is also advisable to finish exercise and housework before enjoying screen time. Instead of rejecting technology completely, proper management enables technology to better support students’ learning and healthy growth.
12. What does the word “unregulated” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Unprotected. B. Unfinished. C. Uncontrolled. D. Unchanged.
13. What can we infer from the 2025 CDC analysis?
A. Social media use reduces teenagers’ mental stress.
B. Outdoor exercise removes screen-caused harms.
C. Staying up late mainly leads to poor health.
D. Off-school screen time brings about health problems.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards digital technology?
A. Objective. B. Supporting. C. Critical. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Long screen time harms teens’ bodies and minds.
B. Proper digital use brings teens great benefits.
C. Digital tools are widely used in teens’ study.
D. Digital technology brings harm yet solutions exist.

47. 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。
A holiday in Penang is an annual affair for my family. My parents grew up in Penang and are very fond of Penang food. In December every year, we would drive up to the island to spend three days visiting their favorite food haunts (常去的地方).
This year, we started our journey up north on a Friday morning. It took us six hours to reach our destination. We always stayed at one of the hotels in Batu Ferringhi. The beach was just a short walk from the hotel entrance and our rooms had a lovely view of the sea. We spent our first evening playing on the beach. After dinner, we returned to our rooms to play games. My parents had a rule for our holidays which was that we were to spend time doing things together. There was to be no TV and no Internet.
The next morning, we went to Bukit Bendera and then spent the rest of the afternoon in town visiting our favorite hawker stalls (小贩摊位). As we were having tea at a coffee shop, we overheard people talking about an earthquake near Sumatera, an island in Indonesia. We headed back to the hotel and then went to the beach. We took a walk along the beach, picking up seashells along the way. Looking up, I saw the sun shining brighter than I ever knew before. I saw a tree trembling in the distance as it reflected the sun’s rays. It never occurred to us that something awful would take place. Suddenly, I noticed a strange thing. The sea seemed to be leaving from the shore. I called my father to look at the curious occurrence. My father took one look and went pale. We saw a grey line in the distance moving towards the shore. It seemed to grow taller by the second.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
My father shouted at us to run back to the hotel.

We waited a long time before going downstairs.
