(本题7.5分)Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In major cities across Europe and the US, shared bikes and cars seem to be everywhere. Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities.
●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders.
●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Prioritizes email- and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital literacy, helping them access the service more easily.
● U.S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.
●Graz’s car-share initiatives: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ trip-chaining needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips.
The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.”
21.(2.5分)Based on the chart, which barrier is reported most frequently by lower-income users?
A.Lack of familiarity with the system. B.High cost of the system.
C.Inaccessibility of locations. D.Lack of smartphone access.
22.(2.5分)Which initiative provides vehicles accessible to wheelchair users?
A.Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B.Mobitwin’s car-share service.
C.U.S. bike-sharing policy. D.Graz’s car-share initiatives.
23.(2.5分)What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse?
A.Tech-based priority. B.Charity-run initiatives.
C.Profit-driven providers. D.User-centered accessibility.
(本题10分)In a textile recycling workshop in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, a production line once requiring 30 workers to sweat for eight hours to process 15 tons of used clothing now operates with only two staff members. Behind this transformation is an automated textile sorting system developed by Databeyond Technology.
This system integrates AI and hyperspectral (高光谱) imaging technology to identify the material and color of waste textiles, precisely identify blend ratios, and automatically sort out components such as cotton and nylon. This technology was named one of the Best Inventions of 2025 by Time magazine, making Databeyond Technology the only Chinese hi-tech enterprise honored in the recycling category.
How does the AI-driven sorter work? It functions like an intelligent sorter with collaborative “eyes, brains and hands”. The system’s “sharp eyes” utilize a vision system with multiple sensors. As materials move along a conveyor belt (传送带) at 4 meters per second, the system — combining hyperspectral and laser sensors — captures the shape, color and material characteristics in real time. Behind these eyes is an ever-evolving “smart brain”, serving as a massive spectral database. The “dexterous hands” rely on a high-speed, precise system. A major challenge was the lightweight nature of materials, which easily shift due to airflow at high speeds. To solve this, the team added a positive pressure system above the belt. The airflow produced by the system acts like an invisible, steady hand that keeps light, thin materials flat and stable.
As textile production relies heavily on resources like cotton, recycling reduces the pressure on raw material extraction. Given that the textile industry is a major consumer of water and energy, recycling significantly reduces carbon emissions, water pollution and landfill volume. Furthermore, because burning textiles generates greenhouse gases and placing them in landfills occupies land, recycling serves to ease environmental pressure at the end-of-life stage. In this process, intelligent sorters serve as a big help.
Currently, Databeyond’s overseas market has expanded beyond Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The global demand for this kind of intelligent equipment is increasingly growing. In the future, Databeyond will continue to deepen the integration of AI and intelligent sorting, expanding its technology to more recycling scenarios — such as waste plastics, film and construction waste — accelerating the intelligent era for the global recycling industry.
24.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the traditional way to recycle textiles?
A.Cost-effective. B.Time-efficient. C.Back-breaking. D.Labor-saving.
25.(2.5分)Why was a positive pressure system added to the sorter?
A.To improve the performance of AI.
B.To capture clearer images in real time.
C.To make the conveyor belt move faster.
D.To prevent materials wrinkling or floating.
26.(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Production challenges. B.Environmental benefits.
C.Technical drawbacks. D.Operating mechanism.
27.(2.5分)What can we infer about Databeyond from the last paragraph?
A.It will focus more on overseas market.
B.It will encourage heavy reliance on AI.
C.It will dominate the global recycling industry.
D.It will apply its technology to more waste types.
(本题10分)Blind boxes are probabilistic products, which are products that allow consumers to purchase one of a set of products at random under specific conditions.
B.F. Skinner, a famous American psychologist, believes that human behavior is mastered by external (外部的) factors. If the external stimulus (刺激物) is favorable to the person, the behavior will be repeated. The randomness of the blind box inspires consumers to buy, and for the buyer, the purchase of the blind box gains inner satisfaction. It is this unique experience that stimulates repeated purchases and thus addiction.
The blind box market is popular with the “Generation Z” crowd. Most of them are only children, with strong loneliness and a desire for a sense of belonging. According to a survey, 57% of “Gen Z” said they “have to have what others have and don’t want to be disliked by their peers (同龄人) ”. The group of trendy players shares emotions, thus establishing more connections and boosting the identity of the group. Blind boxes can soften the awkwardness of interactions in social situations as they are integrated into people's daily lives.
Probabilistic selling can be used as a tool to clearly identify target consumers and their needs. It seemed that Pop Mart’s popularity was an overnight success, but its first store opened in Beijing in 2010. Ever since, it has been exploring and upgrading the products through blind box marketing, finding the most popular items, to figure out product packages that suit the company’s sales strategies and make the company more and more welcomed by the market.
While trying to stimulate consumption demand with such marketing, companies should be aware of the hidden risks. Blind box sellers should not hold the surprise tricks as a way to fool consumers, nor randomly include products in blind boxes. Consumers may not return for repeat purchases if they feel cheated once. Also, the knowledge of how to plan blind box combinations and how to sell them is critical. Once the wave of blind boxes dies down, a company without good products may never be able to catch the next wave.
28.(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The unique experience of getting addicted. B.The internal satisfaction with the purchase.
C.The external factors about repetitive behavior. D.The psychological mechanism behind blind boxes.
29.(2.5分)What role do blind boxes play in the “Generation Z” crowd?
A.The social tools. B.The financial indicators.
C.The confidence boosters. D.The emotional regulators.
30.(2.5分)What is the key to Pop Mart’s success?
A.The careful planning of production. B.The interaction with target consumers.
C.The constant change of sales strategies. D.The emphasis on products and marketing.
31.(2.5分)How can blind box sellers survive in the market?
A.By publicizing the company to earn reputation. B.By using surprise tricks to attract consumers.
C.By providing solid products that deliver value. D.By avoiding the hidden risks of false advertising.
(本题10分)Not long ago, sharing your daily life online to make a living seemed strange. But today, the global influencer economy is growing quickly and had reached over $32 billion by 2025. It started from online famous-person culture and is promoted by social media like TikTok. This shows a big change in how brands (品牌), customers and influencers connect with each other.
People trust influencers mainly because of a one-way emotional connection. Followers feel as if they know the influencer personally. This relationship is built through content update that looks real and close to daily life. This is different from well-designed advertisements (广告) made by brands. This sense of closeness makes influencers seem more believable than the brands they recommend. On the website 20Something, a 16-year-old girl described her favorite creator like this: “She’s not perfect. Sometimes she forgets to post. When she recommends something, it’s because she actually uses it. That’s why I believe her.”
Some influencers are even creating their own brands, which fit naturally with their personal identity. These products feel like true reflections of who they are, rather than simple money-making projects.
In today’s crowded online world, trust is highly valuable. Influencers don’t gain influence just by being famous; they build it by connecting closely with their followers and showing deep knowledge in areas like beauty, fitness or parenting. However, this trust can be easily broken. Problems such as unreal promotions can quickly damage the connection with followers.
For brands, working with influencers also brings challenges. They must follow rules, adapt to changing social media algorithms (算法) and make sure influencers stay real. As the influencer economy continues to grow, trust remains the most important factor. Its future success will depend on better rules and clear guidelines.
32.(2.5分)What leads people to trust influencers according to the text?
A.Influencers never recommend products.
B.Influencers work with well-known brands.
C.Influencers design their own advertisements.
D.Influencers build emotional connection with fans.
33.(2.5分)Why does the author quote a 16-year-old girl in paragraph 2?
A.To explain how to make real content.
B.To support why people trust influencers.
C.To introduce a popular online influencer.
D.To show young people’s shopping habits.
34.(2.5分)What is a big challenge for brands working with influencers?
A.Challenging social media rules.
B.Checking influencers’ daily posts.
C.Making sure influencers keep real.
D.Meeting influencers’ growing needs.
35.(2.5分)What can we learn from the text?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Honesty is the best strategy.
C.East or west, home is best.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
(本题12.5分)The Lipstick Effect
In 2020, the world fell into an economic downturn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. 36(2.5分) During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure (支出), as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect” can often be observed.
The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. 37(2.5分) However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. This phenomenon was termed the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Estée Lauder. He had not only witnessed the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially evident in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products.
38(2.5分) First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. 39(2.5分)
40(2.5分) During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.
A.What does lipstick tell us about the economy?
B.They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items.
C.The lipstick effect is a behavior that reflects economic conditions and emotional states.
D.So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases?
E.By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews.
F.Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend.
G.Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Monday morning, Ms. Rosco showed a film about global warming. It warned that Earth might experience extreme changes and some areas might even stop getting snow.
To encourage everyone to do something for the environment, Ms. Rosco announced a “Great Pollution Solution” contest to be held this Friday. Students would think of ways to recycle rubbish from the school. The prize for the most creative project was a toy — Rocket Racer sled (雪橇).
Cezar couldn’t believe it. He had always wanted a Rocket Racer, and he decided to work alone and take immediate action. In the canteen, he spotted a pile of old trays (托盘), whose smooth surfaces gave him hope to begin his work.
Cezar worked hard, but his progress was worrying. The first day saw his only creation a “tray hat” for sunshade, yet it was too large to stay balanced and kept sliding over his eyes. By the second day, he had attempted a “tray chair”, but it fell apart when he sat on it. Feeling defeated, he watched other teams making great progress with paper cups and plastic bottles. With only one day left, waves of hopelessness washed over him. Cezar lay awake that night, trying to think of a new idea. No ideas came.
The next morning, the ground was covered with thick snow. Usually, this would have excited him, but now it only deepened his sadness. “I’ll never win that sled!” he said to himself, grabbing a tray and throwing it across the yard in despair.
To his surprise, the tray didn’t just land; it slid gracefully all the way to the neighbor’s house. Cezar’s eyes widened as a new idea began to take shape. He ran all the way to school, and gathered the rest of his trays. Racing against time, he drilled holes and tied the trays with ropes into a “tray-train” strong enough to carry some kids. By then, the contest had already begun. In the snowy playground, classmates took turns to show their creative projects: some holding pretty paper-cup flowers, others presenting plastic-bottle robots, and a few even sharing cardboard birdhouses.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At last, it was Cezar’s turn to display his train.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As kids got off the train, Ms. Rosco began to announce the winner.

M: Reduce the use of plastics. Lots of countries in the world, like Bhutan, have placed a ban on single-use plastics.
W: So what can we do in our daily life?
M: We should put plastic in the recycling bin rather than throw it here and there. In that case, the plastic will be taken to a place where it can be recycled and turned into new plastic products.
W: Our class can organize a “Plastic-Free Week” event at school.
M: Great idea! I believe our head teacher, Mr. Cook, will agree to that.

【答案】18.C 19.C 20.B
【原文】
In English, fishwife is an unkind term for a woman with a loud voice. But on Chengdu Island in Zhejiang, China, fishermen’s wives yu sao have shown the world that their strong voices can be a real force for good. In Chinese fishing communities yu sao were traditionally responsible for fishing safety and for solving arguments between fishermen. As such they’re highly respected. So when Hu Sangsu began speaking up about ocean pollution, people listened. Raised on the island, Hu had noticed fish numbers falling and believed pollution was the cause. Without action the future of Chengdu Island’s 13,000 people was in danger. So Hu began encouraging fishermen to collect plastic rubbish and return it to land. Volunteers then sort and process it to sell to recycling companies. Since 2020, over 110,000 plastic bottles and over 80,000 boat batteries have been collected. Now fishermen report improvements in fish numbers. And while the work can be tough, the yu sao can make more money each month for their efforts. It’s been a real win-win for the whole community.

(本题7.5分)Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In major cities across Europe and the US, shared bikes and cars seem to be everywhere. Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities.
●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders.
●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Prioritizes email- and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital literacy, helping them access the service more easily.
● U.S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.
●Graz’s car-share initiatives: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ trip-chaining needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips.
The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.”
21.(2.5分)Based on the chart, which barrier is reported most frequently by lower-income users?
A.Lack of familiarity with the system. B.High cost of the system.
C.Inaccessibility of locations. D.Lack of smartphone access.
22.(2.5分)Which initiative provides vehicles accessible to wheelchair users?
A.Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B.Mobitwin’s car-share service.
C.U.S. bike-sharing policy. D.Graz’s car-share initiatives.
23.(2.5分)What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse?
A.Tech-based priority. B.Charity-run initiatives.
C.Profit-driven providers. D.User-centered accessibility.

(本题10分)In a textile recycling workshop in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, a production line once requiring 30 workers to sweat for eight hours to process 15 tons of used clothing now operates with only two staff members. Behind this transformation is an automated textile sorting system developed by Databeyond Technology.
This system integrates AI and hyperspectral (高光谱) imaging technology to identify the material and color of waste textiles, precisely identify blend ratios, and automatically sort out components such as cotton and nylon. This technology was named one of the Best Inventions of 2025 by Time magazine, making Databeyond Technology the only Chinese hi-tech enterprise honored in the recycling category.
How does the AI-driven sorter work? It functions like an intelligent sorter with collaborative “eyes, brains and hands”. The system’s “sharp eyes” utilize a vision system with multiple sensors. As materials move along a conveyor belt (传送带) at 4 meters per second, the system — combining hyperspectral and laser sensors — captures the shape, color and material characteristics in real time. Behind these eyes is an ever-evolving “smart brain”, serving as a massive spectral database. The “dexterous hands” rely on a high-speed, precise system. A major challenge was the lightweight nature of materials, which easily shift due to airflow at high speeds. To solve this, the team added a positive pressure system above the belt. The airflow produced by the system acts like an invisible, steady hand that keeps light, thin materials flat and stable.
As textile production relies heavily on resources like cotton, recycling reduces the pressure on raw material extraction. Given that the textile industry is a major consumer of water and energy, recycling significantly reduces carbon emissions, water pollution and landfill volume. Furthermore, because burning textiles generates greenhouse gases and placing them in landfills occupies land, recycling serves to ease environmental pressure at the end-of-life stage. In this process, intelligent sorters serve as a big help.
Currently, Databeyond’s overseas market has expanded beyond Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The global demand for this kind of intelligent equipment is increasingly growing. In the future, Databeyond will continue to deepen the integration of AI and intelligent sorting, expanding its technology to more recycling scenarios — such as waste plastics, film and construction waste — accelerating the intelligent era for the global recycling industry.
24.(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the traditional way to recycle textiles?
A.Cost-effective. B.Time-efficient. C.Back-breaking. D.Labor-saving.
25.(2.5分)Why was a positive pressure system added to the sorter?
A.To improve the performance of AI.
B.To capture clearer images in real time.
C.To make the conveyor belt move faster.
D.To prevent materials wrinkling or floating.
26.(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Production challenges. B.Environmental benefits.
C.Technical drawbacks. D.Operating mechanism.
27.(2.5分)What can we infer about Databeyond from the last paragraph?
A.It will focus more on overseas market.
B.It will encourage heavy reliance on AI.
C.It will dominate the global recycling industry.
D.It will apply its technology to more waste types.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.B 27.D
【导语】文章主要介绍江苏一企业研发的AI智能纺织分拣系统,介绍其工作原理、环保价值与未来推广规划。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In a textile recycling workshop in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, a production line once requiring 30 workers to sweat for eight hours to process 15 tons of used clothing now operates with only two staff members.(在江苏省张家港的一家纺织品回收车间,一条生产线从前需要30名工人辛苦劳作八小时处理15吨旧衣物,如今仅需两名员工操作。)”可知,传统纺织回收方式耗人费力、劳动强度大,十分辛苦。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A major challenge was the lightweight nature of materials, which easily shift due to airflow at high speeds. To solve this, the team added a positive pressure system above the belt.(一大难题是物料质地轻薄,易受高速气流影响发生移位,为此研发团队在传送带上方加装了正压系统。)”以及“The airflow produced by the system acts like an invisible, steady hand that keeps light, thin materials flat and stable. (该系统产生的气流如同一只无形且平稳的手,让轻薄材质保持平整稳固。)”可知,加装正压系统是为了避免物料漂浮、褶皱移位。
26.主旨大意题。通读第四段,结合第四段中的“As textile production relies heavily on resources like cotton, recycling reduces the pressure on raw material extraction. Given that the textile industry is a major consumer of water and energy, recycling significantly reduces carbon emissions, water pollution and landfill volume. Furthermore, because burning textiles generates greenhouse gases and placing them in landfills occupies land, recycling serves to ease environmental pressure at the end-of-life stage. In this process, intelligent sorters serve as a big help. (由于纺织生产高度依赖棉花等资源,回收利用能够减轻原材料开采的压力。鉴于纺织行业是水资源与能源的消耗大户,回收可大幅减少碳排放、水污染及垃圾填埋量。此外,焚烧纺织物会产生温室气体,填埋处理又会占用土地,因此回收有助于缓解纺织品报废阶段的环境压力。在这一流程中,智能分拣设备发挥着重要作用。)”可知,本段集中讲述纺织品回收利用带来的各类环保益处。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the future, Databeyond will continue to deepen the integration of AI and intelligent sorting, expanding its technology to more recycling scenarios — such as waste plastics, film and construction waste — accelerating the intelligent era for the global recycling industry. (未来,德本智能将持续深化人工智能与智能分拣技术的融合,把相关技术拓展至废旧塑料、薄膜、建筑垃圾等更多回收场景,助力全球回收行业加速迈入智能化时代。)”可知,该公司会将此项技术应用于更多种类的垃圾回收处理中。
(本题10分)Blind boxes are probabilistic products, which are products that allow consumers to purchase one of a set of products at random under specific conditions.
B.F. Skinner, a famous American psychologist, believes that human behavior is mastered by external (外部的) factors. If the external stimulus (刺激物) is favorable to the person, the behavior will be repeated. The randomness of the blind box inspires consumers to buy, and for the buyer, the purchase of the blind box gains inner satisfaction. It is this unique experience that stimulates repeated purchases and thus addiction.
The blind box market is popular with the “Generation Z” crowd. Most of them are only children, with strong loneliness and a desire for a sense of belonging. According to a survey, 57% of “Gen Z” said they “have to have what others have and don’t want to be disliked by their peers (同龄人) ”. The group of trendy players shares emotions, thus establishing more connections and boosting the identity of the group. Blind boxes can soften the awkwardness of interactions in social situations as they are integrated into people's daily lives.
Probabilistic selling can be used as a tool to clearly identify target consumers and their needs. It seemed that Pop Mart’s popularity was an overnight success, but its first store opened in Beijing in 2010. Ever since, it has been exploring and upgrading the products through blind box marketing, finding the most popular items, to figure out product packages that suit the company’s sales strategies and make the company more and more welcomed by the market.
While trying to stimulate consumption demand with such marketing, companies should be aware of the hidden risks. Blind box sellers should not hold the surprise tricks as a way to fool consumers, nor randomly include products in blind boxes. Consumers may not return for repeat purchases if they feel cheated once. Also, the knowledge of how to plan blind box combinations and how to sell them is critical. Once the wave of blind boxes dies down, a company without good products may never be able to catch the next wave.
28.(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The unique experience of getting addicted. B.The internal satisfaction with the purchase.
C.The external factors about repetitive behavior. D.The psychological mechanism behind blind boxes.
29.(2.5分)What role do blind boxes play in the “Generation Z” crowd?
A.The social tools. B.The financial indicators.
C.The confidence boosters. D.The emotional regulators.
30.(2.5分)What is the key to Pop Mart’s success?
A.The careful planning of production. B.The interaction with target consumers.
C.The constant change of sales strategies. D.The emphasis on products and marketing.
31.(2.5分)How can blind box sellers survive in the market?
A.By publicizing the company to earn reputation. B.By using surprise tricks to attract consumers.
C.By providing solid products that deliver value. D.By avoiding the hidden risks of false advertising.

31.细节理解题。根据第五段“Blind box sellers should not hold the surprise tricks as a way to fool consumers, nor randomly include products in blind boxes.(盲盒销售者不应将惊喜手段当作欺骗消费者的方式,也不应随意在盲盒中放置产品)”以及“Once the wave of blind boxes dies down, a company without good products may never be able to catch the next wave.(一旦盲盒热潮退去,没有好产品的公司可能永远无法抓住下一波机遇)”可知,盲盒商家要在市场中生存,关键是提供优质、有价值的产品。 故选C。
(本题10分)Not long ago, sharing your daily life online to make a living seemed strange. But today, the global influencer economy is growing quickly and had reached over $32 billion by 2025. It started from online famous-person culture and is promoted by social media like TikTok. This shows a big change in how brands (品牌), customers and influencers connect with each other.
People trust influencers mainly because of a one-way emotional connection. Followers feel as if they know the influencer personally. This relationship is built through content update that looks real and close to daily life. This is different from well-designed advertisements (广告) made by brands. This sense of closeness makes influencers seem more believable than the brands they recommend. On the website 20Something, a 16-year-old girl described her favorite creator like this: “She’s not perfect. Sometimes she forgets to post. When she recommends something, it’s because she actually uses it. That’s why I believe her.”
Some influencers are even creating their own brands, which fit naturally with their personal identity. These products feel like true reflections of who they are, rather than simple money-making projects.
In today’s crowded online world, trust is highly valuable. Influencers don’t gain influence just by being famous; they build it by connecting closely with their followers and showing deep knowledge in areas like beauty, fitness or parenting. However, this trust can be easily broken. Problems such as unreal promotions can quickly damage the connection with followers.
For brands, working with influencers also brings challenges. They must follow rules, adapt to changing social media algorithms (算法) and make sure influencers stay real. As the influencer economy continues to grow, trust remains the most important factor. Its future success will depend on better rules and clear guidelines.
32.(2.5分)What leads people to trust influencers according to the text?
A.Influencers never recommend products.
B.Influencers work with well-known brands.
C.Influencers design their own advertisements.
D.Influencers build emotional connection with fans.
33.(2.5分)Why does the author quote a 16-year-old girl in paragraph 2?
A.To explain how to make real content.
B.To support why people trust influencers.
C.To introduce a popular online influencer.
D.To show young people’s shopping habits.
34.(2.5分)What is a big challenge for brands working with influencers?
A.Challenging social media rules.
B.Checking influencers’ daily posts.
C.Making sure influencers keep real.
D.Meeting influencers’ growing needs.
35.(2.5分)What can we learn from the text?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Honesty is the best strategy.
C.East or west, home is best.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】32.D 33.B 34.C 35.B

【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“People trust influencers mainly because of a one-way emotional connection. Followers feel as if they know the influencer personally. (人们信任网红主要是因为一种单向的情感联系。粉丝们感觉好像他们亲自认识这个网红)”可知,网红通过与粉丝建立情感联系来赢得信任。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段中“This sense of closeness makes influencers seem more believable than the brands they recommend. On the website 20Something, a 16-year-old girl described her favorite creator like this: “She’s not perfect. Sometimes she forgets to post. When she recommends something, it’s because she actually uses it. That’s why I believe her.” (这种亲近感使网红看起来比他们所推荐的品牌更可信。在20Something网站上,一位16岁的女孩这样描述她最喜欢的创作者:“她并不完美。有时她会忘记发布内容。当她推荐某样东西时,是因为她真的在用。这就是我相信她的原因。”)”可知,作者引用一个16岁女孩的话是为了支持人们因为亲近感而信任网红的这一观点。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段中“For brands, working with influencers also brings challenges. They must follow rules, adapt to changing social media algorithms (算法) and make sure influencers stay real. (对于品牌来说,与网红合作也带来了挑战。他们必须遵守规则,适应不断变化的社交媒体算法,并确保网红保持真实)”可知,品牌与网红合作面临的一大挑战是确保网红保持真实。
35.推理判断题。通读全文,结合第四段“In today’s crowded online world, trust is highly valuable. Influencers don’t gain influence just by being famous; they build it by connecting closely with their followers and showing deep knowledge in areas like beauty, fitness or parenting. However, this trust can be easily broken. Problems such as unreal promotions can quickly damage the connection with followers. (在当今拥挤的网络世界中,信任是非常有价值的。网红不仅仅因为出名而获得影响力;他们通过与粉丝建立紧密联系,并在美容、健身或育儿等领域展现深厚的知识来构建影响力。然而,这种信任很容易被打破。虚假推广等问题会迅速破坏与粉丝的联系)”以及第五段中“As the influencer economy continues to grow, trust remains the most important factor. (随着网红经济的持续增长,信任仍然是最重要的因素)”可知,文章强调了信任在网红经济中的核心地位,并指出网红通过真实、贴近日常的内容建立信任,而虚假推广会破坏这种信任。因此,文章传达的核心信息是“Honesty is the best strategy.(诚实是最好的策略)”。
(本题12.5分)The Lipstick Effect
In 2020, the world fell into an economic downturn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. 36(2.5分) During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure (支出), as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect” can often be observed.
The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. 37(2.5分) However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. This phenomenon was termed the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Estée Lauder. He had not only witnessed the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially evident in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products.
38(2.5分) First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. 39(2.5分)
40(2.5分) During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.
A.What does lipstick tell us about the economy?
B.They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items.
C.The lipstick effect is a behavior that reflects economic conditions and emotional states.
D.So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases?
E.By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews.
F.Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend.
G.Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity.
【答案】36.G 37.B 38.D 39.E 40.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在经济萧条期间,消费者倾向于购买小奢侈品如口红的现象,即“口红效应”,及其背后的心理和市场表现。
【详解】36.由上文“In 2020, the world was fell into an economic down turn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. (2020年,由于COVID-19大流行导致企业普遍关闭,世界陷入了经济衰退)”可知,本空要说跟“经济衰退对人们影响”有关的话题,由下文“During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure, as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. (在这样的经济困难时期,人们可能会自然地预期消费市场将看到支出的下降,因为各地的人们都感到只能购买“必需品”)”可知,本句要表达经济衰退对人们消费态度的影响,故G选项“Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity. (在这种情况下,数以百万计的人突然发现自己面临着经济上的不安全)”承接上文提到的疫情导致经济衰退的情况,并引出下文,符合语境。故选G。
37.由上文“The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. (“口红效应”是指即使经济不景气,消费者也会购买小型奢侈品的现象)”可知,本空要说跟“购买小型奢侈品的原因”有关的话题,由下文“However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. (然而,许多人仍然会用现金购买口红等小型奢侈品)”可知,本句要与后文构成转折。故B选项“They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items. (他们没有足够的钱购买高价奢侈品)”与下文形成对比,先说明人们在经济萧条时没钱买大件奢侈品,接着转折说仍会买小奢侈品,能承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
38.由下文“First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (首先,或许也是最明显的一点是,消费者可能只是希望时不时地犒劳一下自己,以分散自己对财务不安全感的注意力。另一个理论与劳动力市场有关。具体来说,在经济萧条时期,求职的竞争变得更加激烈。因此,寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表)”可知,本空要说跟“此类购买原因”有关的话题,故D选项“So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases? (那么,现金短缺的消费者究竟如何证明进行此类购买是合理的呢?)”提出了一个关于消费者心理的问题,引出下文对原因的讨论,符合语境。故选D。
39.由上文“Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (因此,寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表)”可知,本空要说跟“改善他们的外表的好处”有关的话题,故E选项“By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews. (通过使用口红等产品,他们可能会在求职面试中感到更加自信)”进一步说明了使用口红等产品对求职者的好处,与上文关于求职的内容相呼应,符合语境。故选E。
40.由下文“During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.(在2007-2009年的全球经济大萧条期间,美国化妆品的销售额增长了约5%。根据这些数据,即使在当前不稳定的经济环境下,奢侈品化妆品行业似乎也将继续存在)”可知,本段既回顾了2007-2009年的事情,也提到了现在的经济状况下奢侈品化妆品的情况,故F选项“Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend. (不管造成口红效应的原因是什么,这种现象都不是短暂的趋势)”总结了段落内容,引出下文用数据证明口红效应不是短期趋势,符合语境。故选F。

【详解】41.考查名词。句意:一个非常清楚这一点的典范就是70岁的帕特·史密斯奶奶。A. case情况,案例;B. position位置;职位;C. example例子,榜样;D. role角色,作用。根据上文“In order to save the environment, everybody has a role to play.”提出“每个人都能为环保出一份力”的观点,本句以70岁的帕特·史密斯为例来印证该观点。
42.考查动词。句意:她带着袋子、橡胶手套和垃圾拾取器,花了整整一年的时间收集垃圾,照顾英国52个海滩,她把自己的2018年新年决心设定为每周清理一个海滩。A. Connected连接;B. Tied系住;C. Covered覆盖;D. Armed装备。根据下文“with bags, rubber gloves and a rubbish picker”可知,此处指奶奶带着袋子、橡胶手套和垃圾夹去清理垃圾。
43.考查动词。句意:她带着袋子、橡胶手套和垃圾拾取器,花了整整一年的时间收集垃圾,照顾英国52个海滩,她把自己的2018年新年决心设定为每周清理一个海滩。A. reusing重复使用;B. collecting收集,捡拾;C. selling售卖;D. throwing丢弃。根据下文“rubbish and caring for 52 British beaches”以及携带垃圾捡拾工具的细节,可知她一整年都在捡拾、收集海滩垃圾。
44.考查动词。句意:她带着袋子、橡胶手套和垃圾拾取器,花了整整一年的时间收集垃圾,照顾英国52个海滩,她把自己的2018年新年决心设定为每周清理一个海滩。A. explore探索;B. protect保护;C. clean清理,打扫;D. practise练习。根据下文多次出现“cleanup、beach cleans”等对应表达,且她的新年计划是每周清理一片海滩,clean与后文形成原词复现,契合语境。
45.考查副词。句意:甚至在圣诞节当天,她还在特雷文海滩捡拾塑料瓶。A. thus因此;B. still仍然;C. again再次;D. even甚至。根据上文说她一整年都在清理海滩,以及下文“…spent her Christmas day picking up plastic bottles on Trevone Beach”可知,本句进一步提到她连圣诞节当天都在捡塑料瓶,是语义上的递进强调。
46.考查动词。句意:在这长达一年的清洁行动中,史密斯常常有其他志愿者加入,包括她的孙辈们,他们也决心帮助她整理海滩上的垃圾。A. asked询问,要求;B. joined加入;C. recorded记录;D. laughed嘲笑。根据下文“including her grandchildren, who were determined to help her tidy up beach rubbish”提到“包括她的孙辈在内的人都决心帮她清理海滩垃圾”,说明其他志愿者加入了她的行动,be joined by sb. 表示“有某人加入”,与后文的 help 形成呼应。
47.考查动词。句意:然而,有些人却常误以为她是在做社区服务,对此,她表示:“人们不明白,我完全是自愿参与的。我们都应该承担起捡垃圾的责任,并确保我们首先不会扔垃圾。”A. punish惩罚;B. excuse原谅;C. respect尊重;D. mistake误解,弄错。根据下文“she said, “People don’t understand I’ve been doing this ______”可知,奶奶解释人们不理解她的行为,说明有人误以为她是在做(强制的)社区服务,符合转折后的语义逻辑。
48.考查副词。句意:然而,有些人却常误以为她是在做社区服务,对此,她表示:“人们不明白,我完全是自愿参与的。我们都应该承担起捡垃圾的责任,并确保我们首先不会扔垃圾。”A. voluntarily自愿地;B. secretly秘密地;C. happily开心地;D. carefully仔细地。根据上文“some people often _____ Smith for doing community service”可知,人们误以为她在做社区服务(通常带有强制/义务性质),由此可知,此处奶奶澄清自己是自愿做这件事。
49.考查动词。句意:然而,有些人却常误以为她是在做社区服务,对此,她表示:“人们不明白,我完全是自愿参与的。我们都应该承担起捡垃圾的责任,并确保我们首先不会扔垃圾。”A. designing设计;B. revising修改;C. ensuring确保;D. doubting怀疑。根据上文“We should all take responsibility for picking up the rubbish”可知,此处指的是我们都应该承担起捡垃圾的责任,并确保我们首先不会扔垃圾。
50.考查动词。句意:这位奶奶并不打算因为2018年结束就停止。A. escaping逃跑;B. disappearing消失;C. leaving离开;D. quitting停止,放弃。根据下文“I won’t stop”可知,此处指的是这位奶奶并不打算因为2018年结束就停止,quit与stop构成同义替换。
51.考查动词。句意:史密斯说:“在2018年清理52个海滩是我的新年决心,现在终于完成了。”A. canceled取消;B. found找到;C. done完成,结束;D. created创造。根据上文“Doing 52 beach cleans in 2018 was my New Year’s resolution”可知, 2018 年的新年计划是完成 52 次海滩清理,本句表示这个目标终于完成了。
52.考查动词。句意:我不会停下,因为我们的海滩需要我。A. need需要;B. understand理解;C. impress使印象深刻;D. trust信任。根据上文“I won’t stop…”可知,奶奶表示自己不会停止清理,原因是海滩需要有人维护、需要她的付出。
53.考查名词。句意:我被驱使着去为我的子孙后代保护我们的地球,我将继续尽我所能去实现这一目标。A. planet星球,地球;B. courtyard庭院;C. land陆地;D. family家庭。根据全文围绕“环境保护”展开,以及下文“for my children and grandchildren”可知,清理海滩垃圾是为了保护地球环境。
54.考查动词。句意:我被驱使着去为我的子孙后代保护我们的地球,我将继续尽我所能去实现这一目标。A. enjoy享受;B. continue继续;C. recommend推荐;D. imagine想象。根据前文“I won’t stop”明确说“我不会停止”,因此本句承接该语义,表示会继续尽全力做这件事,continue doing sth.与won’t stop 形成逻辑呼应。
55.考查形容词。句意:我希望我的努力能帮助人们更加负责任地对待自己的行为,尽可能减少使用塑料制品,并养成回收利用的习惯。A. anxious焦虑的;B. suitable合适的;C. grateful感激的;D. responsible有责任的。根据上文“We should all take responsibility for picking up the rubbish”可知,此处 be responsible for 是其形容词形式的同义复现,奶奶希望自己的行动能让人们对自己的行为更有责任感,契合全文主旨。

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your classmates. It’s never easy when misunderstandings occur. But don’t worry, I’m here for you.
I have some suggestions. Try having an open and honest conversation with your classmates. Explain how you’re feeling and listen to their points as well.

六、书面表达
67.(本题25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On Monday morning, Ms. Rosco showed a film about global warming. It warned that Earth might experience extreme changes and some areas might even stop getting snow.
To encourage everyone to do something for the environment, Ms. Rosco announced a “Great Pollution Solution” contest to be held this Friday. Students would think of ways to recycle rubbish from the school. The prize for the most creative project was a toy — Rocket Racer sled (雪橇).
Cezar couldn’t believe it. He had always wanted a Rocket Racer, and he decided to work alone and take immediate action. In the canteen, he spotted a pile of old trays (托盘), whose smooth surfaces gave him hope to begin his work.
Cezar worked hard, but his progress was worrying. The first day saw his only creation a “tray hat” for sunshade, yet it was too large to stay balanced and kept sliding over his eyes. By the second day, he had attempted a “tray chair”, but it fell apart when he sat on it. Feeling defeated, he watched other teams making great progress with paper cups and plastic bottles. With only one day left, waves of hopelessness washed over him. Cezar lay awake that night, trying to think of a new idea. No ideas came.
The next morning, the ground was covered with thick snow. Usually, this would have excited him, but now it only deepened his sadness. “I’ll never win that sled!” he said to himself, grabbing a tray and throwing it across the yard in despair.
To his surprise, the tray didn’t just land; it slid gracefully all the way to the neighbor’s house. Cezar’s eyes widened as a new idea began to take shape. He ran all the way to school, and gathered the rest of his trays. Racing against time, he drilled holes and tied the trays with ropes into a “tray-train” strong enough to carry some kids. By then, the contest had already begun. In the snowy playground, classmates took turns to show their creative projects: some holding pretty paper-cup flowers, others presenting plastic-bottle robots, and a few even sharing cardboard birdhouses.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At last, it was Cezar’s turn to display his train.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As kids got off the train, Ms. Rosco began to announce the winner.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
At last, it was Cezar’s turn to display his train. “This isn’t just a recycled project,” Cezar announced, his voice gaining confidence. “It’s a practical solution for snowy days.” He invited three classmates to sit on the connected trays. With a gentle push, the “tray-train” slid smoothly and swiftly across the playground, leaving a neat track in the fresh snow. The students watched in awe, then erupted into cheers and applause. The useless trays were now a functional sled, turning the weather into an advantage. Cezar’s earlier failures faded before this clever, last-minute adaptation.
As kids got off the train, Ms. Rosco began to announce the winner. “The contest was about creativity, practicality, and spirit,” she said. “One project not only repurposed waste but also turned a problem — today’s heavy snow — into community fun. The winner is Cezar!” The crowd cheered wildly. Cezar, blushing with pride, accepted the Rocket Racer sled. Holding the shiny new sled in one hand and touching his humble tray-train with the other, he realized the true prize wasn’t the toy, but the lesson: perseverance and observation could transform despair into a breakthrough. His discarded trays had ultimately carried him to victory.
【导语】本文以一场比赛为线索展开,讲述了Rosco女士举办回收创意比赛,Cezar渴望赢得奖品。他用旧托盘尝试制作,却接连失败。比赛日突降大雪,他扔掉托盘,却发现它在雪上滑行顺畅。灵感乍现,他迅速将多个托盘连成“雪橇列车”。展示时,同学们乘坐滑行,全场惊叹。他最终获胜,并领悟到:细心观察,就能将困境变为惊喜。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“最后,轮到Cezar展示他的列车模型了。”可知,第一段可描写Cezar认真介绍自己的模型,再邀请同学体验在列车上滑行,滑行非常顺利,模型得到大家的赞叹。
②由第二段首句内容“当孩子们下列车后,Rosco女士便开始宣布获胜者名单。”可知,第二段可描写Rosco女士肯定Cezar项目的价值,宣布Cezar为获胜者,Cezar激动领奖,并领悟到细心观察能将困境变为惊喜。
2. 续写线索:轮到Cezar展示——Cezar介绍模型——模型效果出彩——Rosco女士宣布名单——Cezar得到认可并获奖——Cezar的领悟
3. 词汇激活

①宣布:announce/declare/give out

③消失:fade/disappear/vanish
④抓着:hold/grasp/clutch
