At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 1.What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A. They are short-lived. B. They are unidentifiable. C. They are trouble-making. D. They are common. 2.What message does Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B. We must respond to our family members truthfully. C. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 3.Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support? A. A student claims his homework was left at home. B. An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章通过两位心理学家的观点，探讨善意的谎言的普遍性及其双重影响，最终强调需根据情境权衡诚实与善意的平衡。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中Barbara Greenberg所说的话“Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies (我遇到的大多数人都会说这些善意的小谎言)”可知，Barbara Greenberg认为大多数人会说善意的谎言，即它们具有普遍性。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. (事实是，不说真话会让你不愉快；这不仅仅关乎被告知善意谎言的人)”可知，善意的谎言可能会既伤害说谎者，也伤害听者。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中Breur博士所说的话“So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity (所以，当我们看到一位母亲清楚地看到她的女儿长胖了，她说你看起来很好，这是可以接受的。它反映了善意的谎言的意图，即善意、保护和无条件的爱。否则，善意的谎言——尤其是为了逃避个人责任的谎言——会引发人与人之间不信任的循环，最终损害诚信)”可知，Breur博士认为善意的谎言是否可以接受取决于其意图，“一位父亲告诉儿子，他们丢失的宠物在农场里快乐地生活着”是出于善意、保护和无条件的爱，与母亲夸赞长胖女儿的动机一致，是Breur博士会支持的善意的谎言。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. (因此，重要的是要问问自己，什么时候说出诚实的事实是合适的，什么时候不合适，什么时候最好退一步，给出一个更微妙的回应。通常情况下，你需要在两者之间找到平衡)”可知，文章围绕善意的谎言展开，通过两位心理学家的观点，探讨善意的谎言的普遍性及其双重影响，最终强调需根据情境权衡诚实与善意的平衡。因此，B项“说善意的谎言前要三思”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·江苏南京中华中学·期中）After Alexander Pushkin was shot in a duel (决斗) in 1837, crowds of mourners formed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagon carrying the much loved poet’s body reached Pskov province, where he was to be buried, admirers tried to pull the vehicle themselves. Today’s celebrity funerals tend to involve the public largely digitally rather than in person. But people are passionate all the same. In the past few months, grief has coursed around the Internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational. Unlike other kinds of grief, this one is not rooted in personal intimacy. If you ever interacted with a cherished author, it was probably during a book tour when she signed your copy of her novel. Maybe you once locked eyes with a musician during a live concert and he smiled at you, but actually he did not even know you. Objectively, sorrow makes sense when a star dies young or violently. Had she not died at 27, who knows what music Amy Winehouse would have added to her already impressive collections of work? The death of a long-lived and fulfilled artist, however, is far from the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output. Why, then, are these losses felt so widely and keenly? One interpretation is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part of your past — the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied. More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists. 1.Why does the author mention Milan Kundera and Michael Gambon in paragraph 2? A. To prove that celebrities’ funerals tend to attract wider public attention. B. To illustrate why people express their sadness at the loss of those celebrities. C. To show that people’s grief over celebrities’ death is ridiculous and impractical. D. To demonstrate that people’s mourning for celebrities seems strange and unreasonable. 2.The underlined phrase “sink into oblivion” in paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. are upset B. are desperate C. are helpless D. are forgotten 3.What can we learn from the passage? A. People won’t mourn for celebrities unless they have intimate relationships with celebrities. B. It’s natural that people mourn for celebrities dying young but not for those long-lived ones. C. People feel sad for the passing of celebrities because of the mental nourishment received. D. People attend celebrities’ funerals, either in person or on the Internet, to express their loyalty. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards public mourning for the celebrities? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Concerned. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨公众哀悼名人的现象，指出尽管缺乏私人交集，人们因名人的精神滋养而真的感到悲伤，并认为这种集体哀悼是原子化时代的情感连接契机。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past few months, grief has coursed around the Internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational. (在过去的几个月里，米兰·昆德拉和迈克尔·甘本的悲痛传遍了互联网。如果你停下来想一想，这种对作家和演员的强烈感情的表达是奇怪的，甚至是非理性的。)”可知，作者以昆德拉和甘本为例，引出后面的观点：公众对名人的哀悼看似奇怪且不合理。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据画线短语前面的“most ordinary people (大多数普通人)”和后面的“these celebrities live on in their output (这些名人在他们的作品中活了下来)”可知，sink into oblivion与live on“长存”形成对比，表明普通人死后易被遗忘，而名人因作品不朽，画线短语的意思是“被遗忘”。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Part of your past — the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied. (你过去的一部分——音乐家是你的配乐，作家是你的盟友的那些年——似乎会随着他们一起消逝。悲伤可以被看作是对他们提供的和谐与快乐的一种感激。)”可知，人们因获得精神滋养而为名人的离世感到悲伤。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists. (更重要的是，艺术家的逝去成为了思想交流的契机。在这个原子化时代，当批判成为默认基调时，一位深受爱戴的人物离世，恰恰为同好们提供了分享美好情感与珍贵回忆的机会。这些悲伤的时刻，正是艺术家们留给世人的最后礼物。)”可知，作者肯定哀悼的合理性，认为这是精神联结的体现，态度偏向支持。故选B项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏南京·期中）In 2022, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was designed to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). It offered 7,500 dollars in tax breaks for new EVs and 4,000 dollars for used ones, and also invested money in charging facilities. “This is about creating a clean energy future and showing American leadership,” Biden said. However, by July 2025, President Trump changed direction. He canceled those terms regarding incentives (奖励性优惠) for consumers and punishments for car companies that didn’t meet emission standards. “We canceled the ridiculous EV requirements that were limiting American choices,” Trump said, putting consumer freedom ahead of government rules. This sudden policy change caused chaos in the industry. Sales of pure EVs stopped growing, with Tesla seeing a 10% decline in the first half of 2025. On the other hand, hybrid (混合的) electric vehicles (HEVs) saw a 40% jump compared to the previous year in May 2025, led by Toyota’s practical, non-plug-in models. “Our plan meets customers’ needs right now without sacrificing convenience,” explained Jack Hollis, the head of Toyota North America. At the same time, the US lost its edge in global competition as Chinese NEV exports increased, taking advantage of the weaknesses in American infrastructure and policy stability. For consumers, the policy rollback made things more expensive and increased their worries. EVs became more costly without tax breaks, and there were still few charging stations outside cities. “Why waste hours looking for a charger when I can fill up my hybrid in five minutes?” a resident from the Midwest asked, pointing out the ongoing problem of “range anxiety”. Trust also decreased as policies kept changing, making buyers reluctant to buy EVs. The future is still unclear. While some states continue to offer support, the federal government’s withdrawal undermines (削弱) the ability to build a competitive clean transportation industry and the progress in reducing carbon emissions could be cut in half. 1.Which is true about Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022? A. It was intended to create a new kind of clean energy. B. It offered tax breaks to new EVs instead of used ones. C. It ignored the construction of more charging facilities. D. It punished car companies not meeting emission standards. 2.What is Trump’s attitude towards Biden’s IRA? A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Reserved. 3.What can be inferred from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Toyota benefited most from the new policy. B. Range anxiety had no effect on buyers’ desire. C. The policy change weakened the global EV market. D. Policy instability harmed US’s edge in EV industry. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. A global competition in the EV industry. B. The impact of American EV policy shift. C. The obstacles of clean energy transition. D. Buyers’ response to the US new EV policy. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. D　4.

He canceled those terms regarding incentives (奖励性优惠) for consumers and punishments for car companies that didn’t meet emission standards.(然而，到了2025年7月，特朗普总统改变了方向。他取消了对消费者的激励条款和对未达到排放标准的汽车公司的惩罚)”可知，特朗普改变了方向，取消了“对未达到排放标准的汽车公司的惩罚”，由此推知，拜登的原《通胀削减法案》(IRA)包含了对未达排放标准汽车公司的惩罚。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中特朗普所说的“We canceled the ridiculous EV requirements that were limiting American choices(我们取消了那些限制美国人选择的荒谬的电动汽车要求)”可知，特朗普认为拜登的《通胀削减法案》(IRA)是荒谬的，由此可推断出，特朗普对拜登的IRA持否定和不屑态度。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At the same time, the US lost its edge in global competition as Chinese NEV exports increased, taking advantage of the weaknesses in American infrastructure and policy stability.(与此同时，随着中国新能源汽车出口的增加，利用美国基础设施和政策稳定性的弱点，美国在全球竞争中失去了优势)”和第三段中“Trust also decreased as policies kept changing, making buyers reluctant to buy EVs.(随着政策的不断变化，信任度也下降了，使得买家不愿意购买电动汽车)”可推知，政策的不稳定损害了消费者信任和产业竞争力，损害了美国在电动汽车行业的优势。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“However, by July 2025, President Trump changed direction. He canceled those terms regarding incentives (奖励性优惠) for consumers and punishments for car companies that didn’t meet emission standards.(然而，到了2025年7月，特朗普总统改变了方向。他取消了对消费者的激励条款和对未达到排放标准的汽车公司的惩罚)”以及下文对这一政策转变对行业、消费者和全球竞争的影响的描述可知，文章主要讲述了美国电动汽车政策转变的影响。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·江苏南通·期中）Global Leaders Summer Camp for High School Students The Global Leaders Summer Camp for High School Students is an exciting and transformative four-week summer program designed by ACU to nurture (培养) the next generation of global leaders.

Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 1.What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 2.What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 3.Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B. They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象，分析了其原因，探讨了词典编纂者的未来，并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本：现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中，记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革：“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释，皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意，抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站，凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知，网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义，从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时，已无法确定，人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久，来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知，作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久，由此可推知，现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊，也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后，仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知，作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会，是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries.

If you’re heading to Belize, keep some activities in mind when you visit. They’ll take you to some of the country’s lesser-known adventures. See the “Crystal Maiden” of Actun Tunichil Muknal Actun Tunichil Muknal is a cave system that the Mayans first discovered as early as 300 AD. It was a spiritual site for centuries, playing a critical role in Mayan culture. Archaeologists know that it was used by the Mayans for ceremonial purposes thanks to the presence of skeletons (骨架). The most famous is the “Crystal Maiden”, a preserved skeleton at the bottom of the cave. Learn about Garifuna Culture in Hopkins After your adventure in Cockscomb Basin, head to Hopkins to sense Belize’s Garifuna culture, which is a melting pot that includes elements of West Africa, the Caribbean, and other native groups. It’s found in Belize, along with neighboring areas like Guatemala and Honduras. When you visit, you can book tours that focus on different elements of Garifuna culture, such as food, music, history, and language. Sample Marie Sharp’s hot sauce in Dangriga While you’re in the area, consider a visit to Dangriga, which is home to the world-famous Marie Sharp’s hot sauce factory. Whether or not you’re a fan of hot sauce, a tour will give you a crash course in the complexities of making a delicious hot sauce. And, yes, they have mild versions for you to sample Learn about Mayan ruins at Lamanai Archaeological Reserve Belize is dotted with Mayan ruins — and each is more impressive than the last. I recommend visiting the Lamanai Archaeological Reserve, as you can reach the site by water. From there, you can learn about the history and modern significance of the ruins. Best of all, it’s surrounded by jungle, meaning you might spot a few jungle creatures during your visit. 1.Garifuna culture is described as “a melting pot” because it ________.

At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 1.What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A. They are short-lived. B. They are unidentifiable. C. They are trouble-making. D. They are common. 2.What message does Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B. We must respond to our family members truthfully. C. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 3.Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support? A. A student claims his homework was left at home. B. An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy 主题语境04 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·江苏南京中华中学·期中）After Alexander Pushkin was shot in a duel (决斗) in 1837, crowds of mourners formed in Saint Petersburg. When the wagon carrying the much loved poet’s body reached Pskov province, where he was to be buried, admirers tried to pull the vehicle themselves. Today’s celebrity funerals tend to involve the public largely digitally rather than in person. But people are passionate all the same. In the past few months, grief has coursed around the Internet for Milan Kundera, and most recently, Michael Gambon. If you stop to think about it, such expressions of strong feelings for writers and actors are odd, even irrational. Unlike other kinds of grief, this one is not rooted in personal intimacy. If you ever interacted with a cherished author, it was probably during a book tour when she signed your copy of her novel. Maybe you once locked eyes with a musician during a live concert and he smiled at you, but actually he did not even know you. Objectively, sorrow makes sense when a star dies young or violently. Had she not died at 27, who knows what music Amy Winehouse would have added to her already impressive collections of work? The death of a long-lived and fulfilled artist, however, is far from the saddest item in an average day’s headlines. And while most ordinary people sink into oblivion, these celebrities live on in their output. Why, then, are these losses felt so widely and keenly? One interpretation is that departed celebrities are merely the messengers. Part of your past — the years in which the musician was the soundtrack, the writer your ally — can seem to fade away with them. The grief can be seen as a form of gratitude for the harmony and joy they supplied. More importantly, the passing of an artist is an occasion for exchanges of ideas. In an atomized age, in which the default tone is critical, a beloved figure’s death is a chance to share positive feelings and memories with fellow admirers. These sad occasions are the parting gifts of these artists. 1.Why does the author mention Milan Kundera and Michael Gambon in paragraph 2? A. To prove that celebrities’ funerals tend to attract wider public attention. B. To illustrate why people express their sadness at the loss of those celebrities. C. To show that people’s grief over celebrities’ death is ridiculous and impractical. D. To demonstrate that people’s mourning for celebrities seems strange and unreasonable. 2.The underlined phrase “sink into oblivion” in paragraph 4 probably means ________. A. are upset B. are desperate C. are helpless D. are forgotten 3.What can we learn from the passage? A. People won’t mourn for celebrities unless they have intimate relationships with celebrities. B. It’s natural that people mourn for celebrities dying young but not for those long-lived ones. C. People feel sad for the passing of celebrities because of the mental nourishment received. D. People attend celebrities’ funerals, either in person or on the Internet, to express their loyalty. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards public mourning for the celebrities? A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Concerned. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏南京·期中）In 2022, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was designed to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). It offered 7,500 dollars in tax breaks for new EVs and 4,000 dollars for used ones, and also invested money in charging facilities. “This is about creating a clean energy future and showing American leadership,” Biden said. However, by July 2025, President Trump changed direction. He canceled those terms regarding incentives (奖励性优惠) for consumers and punishments for car companies that didn’t meet emission standards. “We canceled the ridiculous EV requirements that were limiting American choices,” Trump said, putting consumer freedom ahead of government rules. This sudden policy change caused chaos in the industry. Sales of pure EVs stopped growing, with Tesla seeing a 10% decline in the first half of 2025. On the other hand, hybrid (混合的) electric vehicles (HEVs) saw a 40% jump compared to the previous year in May 2025, led by Toyota’s practical, non-plug-in models. “Our plan meets customers’ needs right now without sacrificing convenience,” explained Jack Hollis, the head of Toyota North America. At the same time, the US lost its edge in global competition as Chinese NEV exports increased, taking advantage of the weaknesses in American infrastructure and policy stability. For consumers, the policy rollback made things more expensive and increased their worries. EVs became more costly without tax breaks, and there were still few charging stations outside cities. “Why waste hours looking for a charger when I can fill up my hybrid in five minutes?” a resident from the Midwest asked, pointing out the ongoing problem of “range anxiety”. Trust also decreased as policies kept changing, making buyers reluctant to buy EVs. The future is still unclear. While some states continue to offer support, the federal government’s withdrawal undermines (削弱) the ability to build a competitive clean transportation industry and the progress in reducing carbon emissions could be cut in half. 1.Which is true about Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022? A. It was intended to create a new kind of clean energy. B. It offered tax breaks to new EVs instead of used ones. C. It ignored the construction of more charging facilities. D. It punished car companies not meeting emission standards. 2.What is Trump’s attitude towards Biden’s IRA? A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Favorable. D. Reserved. 3.What can be inferred from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. Toyota benefited most from the new policy. B. Range anxiety had no effect on buyers’ desire. C. The policy change weakened the global EV market. D. Policy instability harmed US’s edge in EV industry. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. A global competition in the EV industry. B. The impact of American EV policy shift. C. The obstacles of clean energy transition. D. Buyers’ response to the US new EV policy.

Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only. In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.” When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words. Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”. Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.” We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content. 1.What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries? A. The decline of the print media. B. The convenience of online lookup. C. People’s indifference to accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital. 2.What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers? A. Their workload will double. B. They will remain in demand. C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need to upgrade their skills. 3.Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries? A. They boost long-term memory. B. They last longer than digital files. C. They offer an escape from screens. D. They give more authoritative definitions. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries B. My Love for Looking up Words C.
