(Text 3)

Many young people look for careers in the most popular job markets such as computer programming or website design. These industries are important, because in the future we will continue to need more people working on computer technology. Additionally, many young people choose jobs in health care. Doctors and hospital workers will always be in high demand, but the fastest-growing job market in the country today is health workers caring for people in their homes.⑰ Finding career opportunities also depends on where you live. If you live in Boston, the largest field of work is in universities. If you live in New York City, the largest workforce is in finance. Or, if you live here in Los Angeles like me,⑱ the largest industry is entertainment. Whichever opportunity you'd like to pursue, remember these important rules for having a career. The biggest rule is to do something that you have a passion for.⑲ Once you choose something inspiring, you must try to meet people in that industry. Meeting these people is not only to find progressive advice for your career, but also the best way to develop professional contacts and find a job for yourself.⑳ There are many people here from different industries to advise you and explain their businesses. To all young people here today, have fun and feel free to ask a lot of questions!
第二部分 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
RETHINK YOUR BEHAVIOUR ON SOCIAL MEDIA
We live in a world where mass media is everywhere. Advertisements, news as well as magazines can put an invisible pressure on people. Unlike television or print, social media relies on algorithms (算法) that constantly monitor and engage teens.
INCREASE
The way teens spend their time outside of school has fundamentally changed. Take for instance, most of them hung out with friends face-to-face twenty years ago. However, in the most recent data,70% of teenagers spent seven or more hours a day on social media.
They also use it to connect with people like themselves who might be harder to find in the physical world, especially if they are marginalized (被边缘化的) in other ways.
INFLUENCE
Many adolescents view aspects of their social media experiences as positive, but the platforms may pose risks for a vulnerable subset. Not surprisingly, with all this screen time, nearly half of high school seniors sleep less than seven hours a night.
Not getting enough sleep is a major risk factor for anxiety and depression and self-harm for teens. And unfortunately, there have been increases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
WARNIING
Without doubt, it's smart to stay away from your phone and set a time limit out of school, if necessary.
Stop wasting time on useless, unsubstantial things and start getting good, meaningful work done.
The Benefits of Disengagement
Free time
Devote elsewhere, like relationships, activities, or new skills.
Improved mental health
Reduce your anxiety, and help you feel more at peace.
More connection
Give you the opportunity to connect with others in real life.
Better sleep
Help you sleep better if you scroll before bed.
Decreased FOMO
Help you better define your personal goals, values, and desires.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了社交媒体对青少年行为的影响,并列出了一些减少使用社交媒体的好处。
21.What is the main risk of not getting enough sleep according to the passage?

Is a smile just a facial expression? Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure, affection, and friendliness, but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything.A Chinese saying runs:“Never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that a smile is a language all its own—a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world.We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbours,but we smile in the same tongue.We need no interpreter, expressing love, happiness, or good will by smiling.
One day while I was shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.On the outside stood a foreign young man in his early twenties.His expressive eyes met mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, brilliant smile covered his face.The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.“Beautiful day, isn't it?” I remarked.Then, obeying an impulse (冲动), I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly.His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer.A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby.The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly.“Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered.“You want I should tell him something?” At that moment I felt changed.Carlos' smile had made a big person of me.My friendliness and good will towards all mankind stood ten feet tall.“Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere,“tell him I said,‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” the woman seemed slightly confused.
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave.“Just tell him that,” I insisted.“He'll understand. I am sure!”
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on, I become smile-conscious, and I practise the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了微笑的强大力量的故事。
24.Why did the writer march angrily out of the store?
A.Because he bought nothing.
B.Because he was unlucky to meet with a rigid clerk.
C.Because he was unfriendly.
D.Because he conflicted with the clerk in the store.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He seemed quite...out of the store.”可知,作者怒气冲冲地大步走出商店是因为他遇到了一位死板的店员。
25.What do you think of the woman?
A.Curious and sincere with good English.
B.Helpful and curious with poor English.
C.Enthusiastic and diligent with good English.
D.Warm-hearted and diligent with poor English.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The woman...‘You want I should tell him something?’”可知,这位女士虽然英语不好,但乐于助人,并且有好奇心。
26.What may the writer mention in the following paragraph?
A.How he used a smile to solve problems.
B.How hard he tried to look for the young man.
C.The lesson Carlos had taught him.
D.How he became a big person of ten feet tall.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“From that day on...with everybody.”可推知,在接下来的自然段,作者可能会提到他是如何用微笑来解决问题的。
27.What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Rigid Clerk
B.A Powerful Smile
C.A Helpful Woman
D.An Impressive Young Man
B 解析:标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要讲了微笑的强大力量,B项最适合作文章标题。
C
Researchers from the Yale Child Study Center collected 21 days of daily diaries from parents and teens from 151 families. Participating teens were in the 9th and 10th grades, and ranged from 13 to 16 years old. Slightly more female teens participated. By analyzing these diaries, the researchers could connect parents' displays of warmth with daily fluctuations (波动) in how loved their teens were feeling. “The daily methodology is suited to providing caregivers with practical suggestions for daily life,” says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.
Regardless of the general closeness of the parent-teen relationship, the researchers found that teens reported feeling more loved on days when parents reported showing more warmth in the form of affection, understanding, or praise. Likewise, teens reported feeling less loved on days when parents reported more conflicts than usual. More importantly, the researchers also found that parents could weaken the impact of conflicts by showing their teens warmth. In their words, on days when parents were warm, high levels of conflicts didn't reduce how loved teens felt.
To weaken conflicts' impact, warmth had to be shown on the same day, but the warmth and conflicts did not need to be related, the researchers said.
“Parents often complain about the conflicts they are experiencing with their children,” said John Coffey, the study's lead author, “but our study suggests conflicts are manageable.”
The study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting daily fluctuations in feeling loved are common even in long-term relationships. How parents and teens communicate and resolve conflicts may be most important to maintaining a healthy relationship in the long term, said the researchers.
“The study findings are particularly useful right now,” added Coffey, “because parents and their children are spending much time together. Finding ways to be kind and warm will help lessen potential conflicts and ensure children feel loved.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了耶鲁儿童研究中心的研究人员收集父母和青少年的日记,分析发现父母表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动的联系。
28.What does Beata Ujvari think of the study method?
A.It is good. B.It is simple.
C.It is popular. D.It is creative.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘The daily methodology...for daily life,’ says Beata Ujvari, who was not involved in the study.”可知,他认为这种方法很好。
29.What does the underlined word “affection” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Care. B.Hope.
C.Humor. D.Silence.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知,affection与understanding和praise是并列关系,意思应该相近,而understanding和praise都是积极正面的词,所以affection应是“关爱”之意,与A项意思相近。
30.How can parents reduce conflicts' effect on their teens according to the passage?
A.By spending more time with their teens.
B.By displaying emotional warmth on the same day.
C.By showing understanding related to the conflicts.
D.By expressing agreement on whatever their teens say.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,父母在同一天表现出情感上的温暖可以减少冲突对孩子的影响。
31.In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear?
A.Life. B.Science.
C.Culture. D.Biology.
A 解析:文章出处题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段内容可知,文章主要介绍了耶鲁儿童研究中心的研究人员收集父母和青少年的日记,分析发现父母表达温暖与青少年感受到的被爱程度之间的日常波动的联系,这属于家庭教育的范畴,与生活息息相关。由此推知,本文应该出现在报纸的“生活”版块。

It's a wild world out there online, with dis-and misinformation flying around at pace. I'm aware that people's making things up is not new. But what is new is the influence that troublemakers have. That is obvious in information gathered by the Behavioral Insights Team (BIT).
The survey of 2,000 UK adults highlights how confusing the Wild West Web is at present. While 59% of those surveyed by BIT think they can find false information online, only 36% of people were confident that others could find fake news.
That's a problem for two reasons. One is our low confidence in other people's ability to identify false stories. The other is the gap in insight between our own abilities and those of the public. I doubt that if we measured how well people distinguish disinformation from the truth, it'd be closer to the number of 36% than 59%. In short, we tend to think we're smarter than we are. Don't believe me? For my first book, I authorized (授权) a survey by a company to see how well the public recognized major figures on a social platform. The team at that company recommended that, I should add someone who didn't exist among the real names to identify the percentage of people who were lying. A worrying number of people surveyed confidently said they knew the person invented by the team—and knew them well.
The BIT recommended governments and social media platforms fight against mis-and disinformation. First among them is to mark false information as soon as it is found, to try and make the public aware before they share. Additionally, platforms should be stricter in how much legal but harmful content they show.
Whether any of this will work is tough to say. I've been looking at the science alongside studies and surveys like BIT, and every positive intervention (干预) also appears to have its disadvantages.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了网络世界中虚假信息的泛滥以及人们对此的识别能力。
32.What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The wild world.
B.The false information.
C.The impact of misinformation.
D.The information gathered by BIT.
C 解析:代词指代题。根据第一段中的“It's a wild world out there online...the influence that troublemakers have.”可知,这里的“That”指代的是上文提到的传播虚假信息的人所产生的影响。
33.Why does the author mention the survey conducted by a company?
A.To raise our awareness of misinformation.
B.To show our ability to find misinformation.
C.To display our wisdom to know misinformation.
D.To show we're poor in identifying misinformation.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A worrying number of people...and knew them well.”可推知,作者提到调查是为了展示我们在识别虚假信息方面的不足。
34.What might the author continue talking about?
A.The science he will look at.
B.The survey BIT will conduct lately.
C.The weaknesses of positive intervention.
D.His new book about misinformation.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I've been looking at the science...also appears to have its disadvantages.”可推知,接下来很可能会继续讨论积极干预的弱点。
35.Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A science magazine. B.A classic novel.
C.A guide plan. D.An exam paper.
A 解析:文章出处题。通读全文可知,文章讨论了网络世界中虚假信息的泛滥以及人们对此的识别能力。因此,本文最有可能出自一本科学杂志。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,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。
We often hear that body language accounts for over half of our communication. But what happens when we travel to a country with a different culture? Gestures and expressions that are friendly in one place might be rude in another. 36.________________ Here are some common examples to help you navigate this silent but powerful aspect of cross-cultural communication.
The “OK” gesture, made by connecting the thumb and index finger in a circle, is a positive sign in many cultures.37.________________ In Brazil and Germany, however, this gesture is considered offensive and should be avoided.
The “thumbs-up” gesture is widely used to mean “good job” or “approval” in many countries, partly thanks to the influence of social media.38.________________ In the Middle East, especially in Iran, it is a highly offensive insult, equivalent to raising the middle finger in the West.
Even something as simple as eye contact has different rules. In North America and much of Europe, maintaining eye contact shows confidence and sincerity. 39.________________ In many Asian, African, and Latin American cultures, prolonged eye contact, especially with superiors or elders, can be seen as a sign of disrespect or a challenge to authority.
40.________________ A gesture might be perfectly fine in one context but inappropriate in another, even within the same culture. The key is to be observant, respectful, and when in doubt, a genuine smile is a universal language that is almost always understood and appreciated.
A.However, this is not a universal signal.
B.Therefore, it is crucial to understand the local customs.
C.For instance, in Japan, it symbolizes money.
D.Learning a foreign language is very important.
E.But in some other parts of the world, the story is different.
F.The meaning of gestures can also depend on the situation.
G.It is essential to maintain strong eye contact in all cultures.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了肢体语言在跨文化交流中的重要性和不同文化中同一手势含义可能不同的现象。
36.B 解析:上文提到在一个地方友好的手势在另一个地方可能是粗鲁的,下文举例具体说明。B项承上启下,符合语境。
37.C 解析:本段主旨是“OK”手势在不同文化中有不同含义。上文说明它在许多文化里是积极信号,下文表明它在巴西和德国是冒犯性的。C项承上启下,符合语境。
38.A 解析:本段讨论“大拇指向上”手势。上文说明它在许多国家表示“赞同”,下文表明在中东它是严重的侮辱。A项承上启下,符合语境。
39.E 解析:本段讨论眼神交流。上文说明在北美和许多欧洲国家,眼神交流表示自信和真诚。下文表明在亚非拉许多文化中,长时间眼神交流被视为不尊重。E项与上文形成转折关系,引出了对不同文化的说明,符合语境。
40.F 解析:下文表明“一个手势在一种情境下很适合,在另一种情境下可能就不合适,即使在同一种文化中”。F项概括本段主旨,符合语境。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy spent weekends at their workbench, creating a small wooden dog together. Timmy felt 41 knowing he was learning “real work” from Grandpa and hoping the dog could stand perfectly.
At the dinner table, Timmy excitedly talked to Grandpa about whether the dog would stay 42 . Meanwhile, Timmy's father Ben, 43 with a quarterly report, accidentally knocked over a bowl of hot soup. 44 made him angry and frustrated, which caused Timmy to stop talking at once.
Grandpa observed quietly and then spoke in a tone that was 45 to Ben—just like when Ben was a kid. “The soup needs your full attention, and so does the moment with all of us,” he said calmly. Ben's fingers 46 above the laptop keyboard as memories rushed back—Grandpa once taught him to carve a wooden cart and 47 him to focus on the task.
Looking up, Ben saw Timmy holding the wooden dog tightly, eyes full of 48 , and his wife Sarah cleaning the mess silently. “I'm sorry,” Ben said softly, 49 his laptop. “Work has 50 my mind, and I missed this feeling.” Timmy's face brightened; he placed the wooden dog on the table, and it stood steadily as hoped. Grandpa smiled and served Ben a new bowl of soup 51 .
After dinner, Ben returned to the report but finished it smoothly this time. The dinner's 52 had eased his restlessness. When done, he went to the 53 where Timmy and Grandpa were polishing the dog. “Can I join you?” Ben asked. Timmy gave him sandpaper, and Grandpa 54 his arm. By the lamp, the three worked in silence—the “real work” of being together was far more 55 than any report.

One possible version:
Dear Robert,
I'm thrilled to hear about your plan to study in China! I'd like to share with you some commonly used gestures that you might encounter.
In China, waving one hand is a common greeting or farewell, but in formal situations, we greet people by shaking hands. Besides, like in many other countries, we nod to say “yes” and shake our heads to say “no”. The thumbs-up usually means praise or approval, while a frown may indicate disagreement. What's more, please keep in mind that the meaning of these gestures can vary depending on the context.
I hope this will be helpful and I can't wait to see you in China!
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面的材料,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。
At nine years old, Charlotte went through more than the usual amount of excitement and change for a girl. In the past few months, her stable life had been turned upside down when her father was laid off from his job. This brought about a series of events, including her parents losing their beautiful Victorian home and forcing their family into a fifteen-foot trailer (拖车) they had previously only used for weekend camping trips.
Life in the trailer was tough, yet it was filled with warmth. Though her family possessed little, their door was never closed to those who had even less. Never will she forget the first time they squeezed onto the tiny couch(长沙发)together, which doubled as her parents' bed at night. One evening, as her mother was checking the last food they had, her voice trembled, “We don't have enough food to last the week.” Hearing this, Charlotte was seized by a sense of sadness, like a huge stone settled in her heart.
Moments later, her mother rose to prepare the modest chicken dinner. Charlotte wandered outside where her dad was working on their broken-down truck. Just then, a middle-aged man with dirty clothes emerged from a winding path. Coming right up to them, the man whispered in hesitation with a mix of shame and hope, “I... I am a hiker and have got lost. I'm hungry and wondering if you have any food to spare.”
Charlotte's heart tightened, countless thoughts racing in her mind. They barely had enough for themselves. The chicken for dinner wouldn't even fill three plates. “But the man seems to be in greater need of food than we do,” she thought to herself.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
“Of course!” The words escaped Charlotte before she even realized it.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, the hiker returned with a big bag.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
“Of course!” The words escaped Charlotte before she even realized it. She turned to her dad, who nodded without hesitation. With light steps, Charlotte went inside and told her mum. They invited the man to have dinner together and Charlotte's mother divided the chicken into four portions instead of three, the biggest share for him. The man's face lit up with gratitude as he took a bite, “The most delicious chicken in my life.” As they ate together in the trailer, laughter bubbled up—stories were shared, and for a moment, the bitterness of their life was left behind. After dinner, her father showed the hiker the right way. He thanked them repeatedly and hit the road.
Days later, the hiker returned with a big bag. Inside the bag were some canned foods, fresh bread and even a small bag of candies for Charlotte. “I couldn't forget your kindness,” he explained gratefully. Charlotte hugged him, her eyes sparkling, while her father clapped him on the back like an old friend. That evening, they feasted on a proper meal, a warm atmosphere flowing in the trailer, as if hope itself knocked on their door. The hiker's gesture not only filled their stomachs but also warmed their hearts. It was a reminder that even in the darkest times, kindness has a way of circling back when least expected.
