Not only does it shield us from online fraud and harassment, but our personal rights and safety can also be safeguarded. Therefore, we must develop good online habits to safeguard online privacy in daily life. First and foremost, never post sensitive personal information like phone numbers, school addresses and photos on public platforms. Of equal importance is to stay alert to suspicious links and strange messages, which may lead to privacy leakage. Finally, we should also respect others’ online privacy and avoid sharing others’ private content without permission. In short, only by being cautious online can we enjoy a safe and healthy digital environment. 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以“Be Cautious Online, Keep Privacy Safe”为题为校英文报举办的征文活动投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 至关重要的：essential — crucial 对……保持警觉：stay alert to... — keep... on one's toes 避免：avoid — refrain from 导致：lead to→ result in 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With the rapid development of the Internet, online privacy protection has become essential for teenagers. 拓展句：As the Internet develops rapidly, online privacy protection has become essential for teenagers. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Not only does it shield us from online fraud and harassment, but our personal rights and safety can also be safeguarded.（运用了Not only置于句首引起的部分倒装） 【高分句型2】Of equal importance is to stay alert to suspicious links and strange messages, which may lead to privacy leakage.（运用了表语Of equal importance置于句首引起的全部倒装以及which引导的非限定性定语从句） 67． After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. “Are you OK, my sweetheart?” Her mother’s voice came through, warm and concerned. As she fumbled for a decent excuse, she could clearly hear her father scurrying toward the phone, obviously surprised at the rare call. Before she could pour out her grievances, her parents continued softly, “Whatever happens, dear, we are here.” Aliya gripped the phone, tears rolling down like unleashed floodwaters. The conversation ended sooner than she had wished, yet Aliya felt something loosen in her chest. She quickly erased her trail in New York and flew back as determinedly as she had once left. Aliya took a job in the town library. It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe. Children came after school and embraced her before leaving. She walked home each evening, greeted by the peddlers and sometimes even friends along the way. In the warmth of her family home, she sat with her parents, hearing stories she had been too impatient to listen to before. Aliya finally felt a sense of contentment. She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Aliya从小生活在斯里兰卡宁静的小镇，一心向往外面广阔的世界。二十二岁时她拿到奖学金远赴纽约求学，努力融入当地，收获光鲜的工作与生活。三十岁失业之后，过往的繁华全部消散，她陷入迷茫失落，重新思考归属感的真正含义。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Aliya拨通家里电话，父母温暖的话语抚慰了她受伤的内心，她下定决心告别纽约，回到故乡。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Aliya回到家乡之后的日常工作与生活，在熟悉的山水与家人陪伴下，她找到了内心真正的满足，领悟归属感一直就在故乡。 2. 续写线索： 拨通家里电话 ——父母温情安慰 —— 下定决心返乡 —— 图书馆工作 —— 感受家乡烟火 —— 获得内心满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 抓住：grip/seize ② 结束：end/conclude 情绪类 ① 惊讶的：surprised/astonished ② 满足：contentment/satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe.(运用了独立主格结构作状语) 【高分句型2】She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning.(运用了动词不定式短语作结果状语) 附：听力原文： 1． 【原文】M: Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is, please?

Usually I’d call her as soon as I was settled, and it was thrilling to hear her voice and then to arrange a meeting time. But in 2024, when I turned 75 and she was 96, I put off making the call. Each time I thought about phoning her, I feared that when I said my name, she would say, “Who?” I first met Lore Segal in 1975, when I took her writing class at Columbia University. Back then, all I knew about her was that she’d recently lost her husband. I hadn’t known that when she was a little girl, her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10 years old, she was even transported alone all the way to England, where she drifted between different temporary homes. Small and self-confident, Lore had a pale face and curly hair. She was particular, her whole manner changing when someone expressed something pompous (言辞浮夸的) or emotional. She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car. She also stated that for a reader to remember a particular detail, you had to write it one and a half times, a rule both impossible to follow and true. When she leaned toward a text, I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing a passage and felt the pleasure welling up in me. Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school. When it was my turn, we sat beside each other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript. No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me. And now came this extraordinary moment: my teacher was reading my words and laughing. 24．Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024? A．Lore refused to meet him. B．He was fully occupied with work. C．He lost interest in meeting her. D．He worried she might forget him. 25．What do we know about Lore’s childhood? A．She travelled a lot alone. B．She weathered bitter blows. C．She lived in a fixed house. D．She taught writing in England. 26．What can we infer about Lore’s attitude towards writing? A．She thought short articles work best. B．She hated all daily scene descriptions. C．She ignored students’ writing faults. D．She prized plain and meaningful writing. 27．How did the author feel during one-on-one talks? A．Inspired and valued. B．Shy and awkward. C．Calm and indifferent. D．Nervous and uneasy. C A hundred years ago, scientists were sure of many truths. The greatest experts were certain that the universe had always existed and was always the size it is now. Biochemists believed that, outside the nucleus, the interior of a human cell contained little more than busy enzymes — a “biochemical bog” that carried out all the reactions that are essential to life. These sureties were all wrong. Yet scientists reacted to challenges to their accepted truths with dismissal and skepticism. I began to see how common this knee-jerk reaction was as I researched my book on how scientists reconstructed the journey of our body’s atoms from the big bang to now. So many theories that we now consider great breakthroughs were at first waved off, like annoying gnats. Why? We all know that some researchers are territorial, or fear a new theory will undercut their work. But why did entire communities of scientists reject groundbreaking ideas — even those backed by sound evidence? Puzzled, I tried to categorize the reasons why and found six cognitive biases that arose so often I gave them nicknames. For instance, the “You Look For and See the Evidence That Matches Your Existing Theory” bias impeded our understanding of diseases like scurvy (坏血病) and beriberi (脚气病), which were killing millions. Scientists tried to explain these illnesses with the ancient Greek theory of humors, then germ theory, before arriving at the concept of vitamin deficiency. How could so many brilliant scientists have been so ignorant? If you look a little deeper, you will find that none of us is immune. A Microsoft executive once said: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get market share.” When covid-19 struck, we all thought we would be back at work in just a few weeks. We will never be entirely rid of biases. Biases are part of the human condition, and scientists need to be aware their brains are full of them. As those I profiled discovered, our cells are crammed, not just with enzymes, but with a mind-boggling collection of molecular machines. DNA, not protein, is the molecule responsible for heredity. And the universe was once contained in a tiny point of space and time. All kinds of things are possible that we would never expect. That is the beauty of life. The history of scientific innovation encourages us to examine evidence with an open mind and try to see the world not as we would like it to be, but — to the extent that we can — as it truly is. Understanding this helps us to appreciate the amazing world we live in. 28．What does the example of biochemists in paragraph 1 imply? A．To stress the importance of innovation. B．To indicate the advancement of biochemistry. C．To emphasize the harm of fake science. D．To reveal the hardwired problem of scientists. 29．What does the writer stress on bias? A．It uniquely affects researchers. B．It’s unavoidable in humans. C．It fades with rich experience. D．It blocks all scientific studies. 30．What’s implied about human cognition? A．Minds have internal limitations. B．People tend to judge objectively. C．Biases totally ruin creativity. D．Old views never get replaced. 31．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．Embrace the complexity of our life. B．Solid evidence is a must for new findings. C．Allow scientists to make mistakes. D．Ease the prejudice in sciences research. D You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 32．What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A．A real bargain. B．A free item. C．An identical product. D．An unexpected gift. 33．Why is the second-hand vehicle deal mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To explain a rule. B．To present a fact. C．To illustrate a concept. D．To make a comparison. 34．What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A．Reference point loss. B．Independent analysis. C．Brain’s energy-saving nature. D．Brain’s heavy burden. 35．What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A．Ignoring its reasons. B．Weighing various choices. C．Seeking its impacts. D．Interrupting subconscious thoughts. 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。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. 36 And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. 37 However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. 38 Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. 39 Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. 40 The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A．So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B．This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C．Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D．To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E．Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F．Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G．This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In the quiet town of Greenfield, David Lee had built a life around his art.

It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
