Is Shakespeare and Company’s Success Replicable(可复制的)? The summer afternoon was hot in Paris, but no one in a bookshop seemed bothered. Dozens were patiently waiting to enter Shakespeare and Company, a storied bookshop situated ____1____ the River Seine from Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院). “That’s where Shakespeare wrote for a while,” a passer-by informed her friends. No one corrected her. “The myth-telling is fascinating,” says Sylvia Whitman, co-owner of the English-language bookshop. “It adds to the house of stories that a bookshop can be.” In fact, Shakespeare and Company was launched by Ms. Whitman’s father, George, 75 years ago. Around 2,000 to 3,000 people visit daily, partly drawn by the shop’s huge social-media following. It has earned more impressive screen credits than many actors, ____2____ (cast) in multiple classic films. A hit TV series, Emily in Paris, asked to feature ____3____, but Ms. Whitman declined. The bookshop already deals with so many selfie-snappers (自拍客). How does a physical bookstore survive three-quarters of a century and still get people to queue to enter? One answer is a clever approach to social media. Photos and videos are prohibited inside. ____4____ spends hours scrolling through TikTok will find the shop wrapped in mystery. “____5____ you step inside the shop, you will never find out what it looks like; so that’s kind of cool,” says Hannah, a literature student from England. Ms. Whitman also understands that buyers are not only seeking an entertaining tale, but a story about how and where they bought that book. The shop, a quiet treasure housing many rare editions, ____6____ (stock) loads of luxurious hardcovers with the look of yesteryear. Far from killing print, e-books have even made some consumers ____7____ (keen) to invest in special editions than before. How replicable is its model? Many other bookstores sell limited-edition products and host author events. Having authors ____8____ (sign) copies can triple book sales. Yet Shakespeare and Company’s playbook is impossible ____9____ (copy). Its history and location in central Paris are unbeatable. “Very few booksellers own their real estate as Shakespeare and Company ____10____,” notes James Daunt, the boss of bookseller Barnes&Noble. He points out that a bookshop that also happened to be called Shakespeare&Co (no relation) closed last year in New York, as it faced rising rents and other business challenges. Section B(10分) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. barriers B. braces C. displaced D. exceptional E. fueled F. ill-equipped G. logged H. record I. readily J. roasting K. surpassing Western Europe breaks temperature record in summer Extreme heat has brought severe challenges to many European countries. The first two months of summer in western Europe have been the hottest on ____11____, the European Union’s climate monitor said Monday, as the continent deals with devastating wildfires and ____12____ itself for yet another heatwave. The average temperature for June and July was 21.62 degrees Celsius, about 2.79 degrees above the average, ____13____ the previous heat record set in 2022, said the Copernicus climate change service. July was also the hottest month ever ____14____ for the world’s non-polar oceans, Copernicus said, with record high temperatures set along the Atlantic and western Mediterranean, putting sea life and coastal communities at risk. The conditions were partly ____15____ by the so-called “Super” El Nino weather pattern developing in the Pacific. Europe is the world’s fastest-warming continent but is particularly ____16____ to withstand heat, due to older infrastructure and a lack of air conditioning. The ____17____ temperatures and persistent droughts in June and July mutually reinforced each other to create a hot weather spiral, according to Samantha Burgess. “As soils dry out, they lose their ability to provide natural cooling, allowing heat to build more ____18____,” Burgess said, adding that it was “a clear example of how climate change is intensifying heat extremes.” Surface soil moisture levels across western Europe in July 2026 were also “significantly lower” than in July 2022, the last summer the region saw extreme drought, with “____19____ to record deficits (缺口)” for rain and soil moisture in France, Spain and parts of Germany and the United Kingdom, the scientists found. The record-breaking summer heat has fostered conditions for Europe’s record-setting wildfires, which have ____20____ hundreds of thousands of people and burned more than 1.23 million acres of land, mainly in Spain, France and Italy. III. Reading Comprehension(45分) Section A(15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Not-so cold blooded The word reptilian (爬虫类的) doesn’t describe just lizards and snakes. When ____21____ humans, it means an unfriendly, unfeeling type of person. But scientists agree that reptiles aren’t ____22____ — they’re misunderstood. Extensive research has shown that reptiles experience a wide range of emotions and that they’re highly socially complex animals. A growing body of research ____23____ the widely accepted notion that reptiles only have the capacity for survival instincts and not for emotional intelligence. Despite this wealth of evidence demonstrating reptiles’ emotional capacity, however, they’ve retained a reputation for being as ____24____ emotionally as they are physically. These misconceptions can lead to a lack of ____25____ for reptiles’ needs in captivity (人工圈养) and in the wild, advocates say. As more and more reptilian species are threatened by habitat loss, scientists and conservationists say that ____26____ reptiles’ capacity for emotion can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them. Yet the myth of the emotionless “lizard brain” ____27____. Popularized in the 1970s by astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan, the term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for ____28____. According to this ____29____, the human brain evolved in stages by adding progressively more sophisticated structures to this underdeveloped lizard brain, including the limbic (边缘的) system, which is the source of our emotions. Because reptiles are our evolutionary forerunners, some researchers long believed that this instinctual part of the brain was the only part that originated with our ____30____ ancestors — and that without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capacity for emotions at all. Scientists have repeatedly disproven the misconception throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with a 2019 review identifying 37 studies supporting reptiles’emotional capacity. While they may not be outwardly ____31____ in the same way that humans or other mammals are, reptiles are indeed highly social animals. They form emotional bonds and communicate them through instinctive sequences of movements and signals, performed in a fixed order each time. These complex ____32____ are used for parental care, courtship, and nesting. Yet even as research on reptile ____33____ continues to build, the stereotypes around reptilian emotions have persisted. Part of this is simply because reptiles ____34____ their emotions differently than humans. In a 2021 study, researchers found that lizards emit chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to ____35____ than their mammalian counterparts. 21. A. applied to B. exposed to C. compared to D. relevant to 22. A. senseless B. hateful C. cruel D. emotionless 23. A. confirms B. ignores C. challenges D. justifies 24.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Marmite is a thick, dark, salty spread that many British people like to eat on toast. It divides the British people, and its slogan is “You either love it or hate it”. Marmite’s maker, Unilever, wants to show that Marmite is not just a spread. New combinations are in the supermarkets, such as Marmite Brussels sprouts, Marmite pot noodles and Marmite peanut butter. For a long time, Marmite has been a secret staple (主食) of chefs and home cooks who use it in stocks (高汤) and sauces. Now Marmite has become a named ingredient on restaurant menus in all parts of the country. There’s the Marmite chicken wings at Eat Vietnam in Birmingham; Monica Galleti’s pumpkin pasta with Marmite and mushrooms at Mere, central London. “Chefs use it as a seasoning,” says the chef Sat Bains. “Like soy sauce, it gives depth and umami (鲜味).” Bains has been using Marmite quietly since his restaurant opened in Nottingham in 1999, “mixing it with butter and cooking fish and meat in it”. Tom Cenci of Loyal Tavern in London uses Marmite to make stocks and sauces rich and salty. “And I have vegetarian and vegan dishes that need a Marmite stock.” But he says, “Marmite has a lot of nostalgic (怀旧的) connections for people. As a child, I ate Marmite crumpets with a cup of tea. To put it into something like a cheesecake is silly.” Cenci doesn’t name Marmite as an ingredient on his menu because he’s worried that Marmite-haters won’t eat his food. “Some Marmite-haters, who hate the strong umami taste of Marmite on toast, find it much nicer to eat when it’s an ingredient in a recipe,”says Camila Williamson from Unilever. Marmite is made from leftover brewer’s yeast, so it is also popular with people who want to reduce food waste. It is popular in plant-based diets, too. Marmite has a lot of vitamin B12, which is found mostly in animal products. My friend Emily, a Marmite fan, says, “If you used to eat meat and are now a vegetarian, Marmite should be at the top of your shopping list.” 36. Which of the following is the feature of Marmite? A. It is a sweet spread that contains much vitamin B12. B. It is extracted from fish oil and popular in plant-based diets. C. It is a seasoning best going with tea leaves and cheesecakes. D. It is a thick and dark paste made from leftover brewer’s yeast. 37. People love Marmite for the following reasons except that _______. A. it reminds people of the past. B. it helps reduce food waste. C. it makes the other flavors richer. D. it’s cheaper than meat stock. 38. What can be inferred about the two chefs, Sat Bains and Tom Cenci? A. Both chefs have kept their use of Marmite low-key. B. Both chefs consider it off-putting to put Marmite into cheesecake. C. Both chefs use Marmite mainly to replace meat stock in vegetarian dishes. D. Cenci uses Marmite mainly in vegetarian dishes, while Bains uses it only for fish and meat. 39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Marmite, the most beloved food in the UK. B. Love it or hate it, Marmite is having a massive foodie moment. C. Marmite, the top of your shopping list for vegetarians. D. Love it or hate it, Marmite is a great favourite of top chefs. (B) ADOPT A DOLPHIN NOW And you will receive: 1. WDC adoption pack 2. A certificate of adoption 3. Free magazine subscription 4. Dolphin updates throughout the year She’s beautiful. She’s intelligent. Don’t let her die. Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death by getting accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering. More than 300,000 dolphins die in fishing nets every year. You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just 4 a month. Adopt now. WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, in the advisement of governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue. Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free — including the dolphin you adopt. Meet the dolphins The dolphins each have their own personalities—more on the dolphin you’d like to adopt. The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth are amazing but they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will be building a special link with an individual dolphin and helping us to protect the whole population so as to give them a safer future. Kesslet Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf, Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved dorsal fin. She makes friends with lots of the local dolphins and can often be seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters. Mischief Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in a party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognized by the big nick(缺口)in his dorsal fin. Sundance Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was just a tiny calf, but is now a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with his friends. Why adopt a dolphin? ”I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!” says Miranda Krestovinikoff, a BBC TV presenter. Oil and gas exploration and production, large marina(码头)development, pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on dolphins and their homes. By adopting a dolphin, you will be building a special link with an individual dolphin and helping us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever — the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced. When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our work to protect dolphins around the world including: ◆ essential research — the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them. ◆ political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place to protect dolphins and to give them a safer future. ◆ equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our research. 40. What can be inferred about the dolphins referred to at the beginning of this advertisement? A. Their death rate is rising year by year. B. They are the most endangered sea animals in the world. C. They die accidentally as unintended victims of fishing. D. They are caught for entertainment and commercial value of their meat. 41. Which of the following is correct about the three dolphins? A. Mischief is often moody, while Sundance is sociable. B. Kesslet is able to outrun even the biggest salmon and Mischief. C. Kesslet is the only female; the other two are sociable males that love leaping. D. All three have agreeable personalities and distinguishing marks on their dorsal fins. 42. The advertisement includes Miranda Krestovinikoff’s words in order to ________. A. list the practical benefits that adopters will receive from WDC B. prove that dolphins are worth saving because of their beauty and intelligence C. inform readers that BBCTV presenters are among WDC’s regular supporters D. strengthen the campaign’s credibility through the endorsement of a public figure (C) ① Everyone has a book inside them, or so the saying goes. Today, aspiring writers can learn online from top authors — Lee Child and Harlan Coben teach thrillers, Jojo Moyes romances. Now Agatha Christie, the bestselling fiction writer with over two billion copies sold, is teaching the whodunnit despite having died in 1976. ② Her course comes not from archival footage but from AI. BBC Maestro proposed the idea to the Christie family, who agreed to revive the “Queen of Crime.” A team of nearly 100 scholars and AI experts worked on it: actress Vivien Keene stood in, with Christie’s face mapped on, using only Christie’s own words from her writings, notebooks, and interviews. ③ In this way, the creator of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple shares handy writing tips, such as the neatest ways to murder fictional victims. Many of Christie’s writing rules concern playing fair. She practiced misdirection and laid “false clues” alongside true ones, but insisted that her plots did not cheat or hide key evidence: “I never deceive my readers.” In sections devoted to plot and setting, she explains how to plant key clues “in plain sight” and plan events with detailed “maps and diagrams.” She advises viewers to watch and listen to strangers on buses or in shops. ④ By relying on Christie’s own words, BBC Maestro hopes to avoid accusations of creepy deepfake teaching. At the same time, it is that focus on quotation that limits the course’s value as a creative-writing toolbox. The woman born Agatha Miller in 1890 speaks from her own time and place. She tells wannabe writers to use snowstorms to isolate murder scenes (as they bring down telephone wires) and cites the clue-generating value of railway timetables, ink stains and cut-up newspapers. These charming details are irrelevant to modern writers. ⑤ Furthermore, Christie’s juiciest mysteries smash crime-writing rules. The narrator does it; the detective does it; all the suspects do it. Sometimes there isn’t even a detective in the story: In The Hollow, Christie regretted that Poirot appeared at all. This high-tech version of the author feels smaller and flatter than the brilliant original. 43. The underlined phrase “playing fair” in Paragraph 3 most probably means that Christie ________. A. never employed false clues to deceive her readers B. hid clues in advance so as not to spoil readers’enjoyment C. misdirected readers but kept key evidence available D. avoided complex plot structures to help readers solve mysteries independently 44. What can be inferred from Christie’s specific writing tips mentioned in paragraph 4? A. These practical devices have become standard tools in modern mystery writing. B. Contemporary writers can benefit from these concrete details. C. The AI course has carefully selected these tips for their enduring value. D. Christie’s advice is conditioned by the technological and social reality of her time. 45. In the last paragraph, the author mentions the underlined part mainly to suggest ________. A. Christie’s true brilliance lay in going beyond the conventions she teaches in the course. B. Christie’s groundbreaking contribution to redefining the detective story as a literary genre. C. why Christie’s works have maintained their enduring appeal over many decades. D. the extraordinary range and inventiveness of Christie’s plot construction. 46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Learn to Write Mysteries from Agatha Christie B. Bringing Back the Queen of Crime C. The Writing Secrets of the Queen of Crime D. Agatha Christie’s Enduring Legacy in the Digital Age Section C(8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Being Scientists Doesn’t Make Us Science Communicators A few weeks ago, a well-meaning professor tried to explain the physiological process behind viruses and the human body in a tweet and was immediately criticized for a mistake in his information. He then issued an apology and deleted his erroneous tweet. ____47____ Communicating science beyond the academic bubble is necessary to augmenting public understanding of health and environmental issues and helping individuals make well-informed personal decisions. However, scientists who engage in science communication must acknowledge that even in their area, their expertise is deep but narrow. They need to recognize the limitations in their own knowledge. That is not to suggest that they only write or present on their own research, but rather, that they consult with an expert if the topic is outside of their discipline. ____48____ Some have argued that the public is not educated enough to understand scientific information, especially for any complex phenomena, but this is absurd. Science instruction can be found at all levels of public education with most secondary schools offering classes on biology, physics, and chemistry. ____49____ Even the public discourse that follows most scientific articles shows that online readers can understand even the most baffling of scientific principles. ____50____ It requires rigorous training and instruction. A scientist should take communication courses that can teach a person how to identify and eliminate jargon and how to develop effective analogies to explain complex concepts. One cannot assume communication expertise-imagine if someone just decided that they were a physicist and started trying to contribute to the field without the necessary background. Doing a poor job communicating science to the public will only create confusion and widen the gap between science and society, a gap that scientists are trying to close. A. Science communication is a science in and of itself. B. Many scientists assume that their specialist knowledge qualifies them to carry out science communication. C. If anything, social media has shown that the public craves knowledge based on a solid scientific foundation. D. Sharing scientific knowledge with a broad online audience demands far greater caution than many researchers tend to expect. E. Any explanation that requires a written key to keep track of what each item represents is not a clear example for public consumption. F. Fact-checking with experts in the relevant field can not only stop accidental spread of false information, but also bring about some interesting new findings. IV. Summary Writing(10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  When Screen Time Equals Opportunity Many of us view a screen time report like a credit card bill — ignorance is bliss. The benefits of logging off are clear: lower stress, improved sleep, reduced headaches and enhanced focus. Kids especially struggle with putting down their phones. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics, teens aged 14 to 17 averaged about 8.5 hours of screen time per day in 2021. And in 2024, 46 percent of 13- to 17-year-olds said they are online “almost constantly, ” according to Pew Research. But what if all that time in front of a screen could actually be good for kids? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy lauded a recent effort to recruit video gamers that resulted in more than 2,000 new air traffic control trainees. The campaign built a pipeline to the Federal Aviation Administration for young applicants with transferable skills — suggesting all those hours playing Xbox may not have been numbing their brains as their parents warned, but in fact making them employable. And while many kids still aspire to be doctors, teachers and athletes, the social media age offers a new path to success. A Junior Achievement USA study found that 60 percent of teens would rather start their own business than have a traditional job, with two in five of them having been inspired by social media influencers. The turn from consumer to creator has never been so accessible and profitable: Hundreds of bored teens in the pandemic turned silly dances into massive followings that resulted in brand deals and reality TV spots. Colleges are taking note. Arizona State University is offering a content creation major through its Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Critics might argue this is a waste of tuition money or just a flashy repackaging of multimedia journalism. But with media studies courses and electives like podcasting and on-camera presence, students can be steps ahead of ill-produced #dayinmylife videos. Being chronically online doesn’t necessarily guarantee success in the real world, though. A New York financier believed that AI-native hires aren’t as prepared for the corporate world as initially believed. The anonymous financier said his firm now seeks out humanities majors, saying it wants critical thinking skills, not just AI proficiency. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

Reading Comprehension(45分) Section A(15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Not-so cold blooded The word reptilian (爬虫类的) doesn’t describe just lizards and snakes. When ____21____ humans, it means an unfriendly, unfeeling type of person. But scientists agree that reptiles aren’t ____22____ — they’re misunderstood. Extensive research has shown that reptiles experience a wide range of emotions and that they’re highly socially complex animals. A growing body of research ____23____ the widely accepted notion that reptiles only have the capacity for survival instincts and not for emotional intelligence. Despite this wealth of evidence demonstrating reptiles’ emotional capacity, however, they’ve retained a reputation for being as ____24____ emotionally as they are physically. These misconceptions can lead to a lack of ____25____ for reptiles’ needs in captivity (人工圈养) and in the wild, advocates say. As more and more reptilian species are threatened by habitat loss, scientists and conservationists say that ____26____ reptiles’ capacity for emotion can help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them. Yet the myth of the emotionless “lizard brain” ____27____. Popularized in the 1970s by astronomer and science communicator Carl Sagan, the term refers to the parts of the human brain that we use for ____28____. According to this ____29____, the human brain evolved in stages by adding progressively more sophisticated structures to this underdeveloped lizard brain, including the limbic (边缘的) system, which is the source of our emotions. Because reptiles are our evolutionary forerunners, some researchers long believed that this instinctual part of the brain was the only part that originated with our ____30____ ancestors — and that without humanlike brain structures, reptiles didn’t have the capacity for emotions at all. Scientists have repeatedly disproven the misconception throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with a 2019 review identifying 37 studies supporting reptiles’emotional capacity. While they may not be outwardly ____31____ in the same way that humans or other mammals are, reptiles are indeed highly social animals. They form emotional bonds and communicate them through instinctive sequences of movements and signals, performed in a fixed order each time. These complex ____32____ are used for parental care, courtship, and nesting. Yet even as research on reptile ____33____ continues to build, the stereotypes around reptilian emotions have persisted. Part of this is simply because reptiles ____34____ their emotions differently than humans. In a 2021 study, researchers found that lizards emit chemicals to communicate with each other, meaning they’re much harder to ____35____ than their mammalian counterparts. 21. A. applied to B. exposed to C. compared to D. relevant to 22. A. senseless B. hateful C. cruel D. emotionless 23. A. confirms B. ignores C. challenges D. justifies 24. A. cold-blooded B. sensitive C. aggressive D. negative 25. A. ignorance B. awareness C. tolerance D. adaptability 26. A. recognizing B. assuming C. overestimating D. distinguishing 27.

A. rituals B. commands C. traditions D. rules 33. A. evolution B. domestication C. colonization D. socialization 34. A. hide B. experience C. exhibit D. control 35. A. read B. trust C. capture D. approach 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 24. A 25. B 26. A 27. A 28. D 29. C 30. C 31. D 32. A 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文指出爬行动物并非通常认为的那样冷漠无情，科学研究表明它们具有丰富的情感和复杂的社会行为，但由于它们表达情感的方式与人类不同，导致误解长期存在。 【21题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：当被应用到形容人类身上时，它指的是一类不友好、冷漠的人。A. applied to应用于，适用于；B. exposed to暴露于；C. compared to与……相比；D. relevant to与……相关。根据前文“The word reptilian doesn’t describe just lizards and snakes”以及后文“it means an unfriendly, unfeeling type of person”，可知这个词也可以“用于形容”人类。when applied to意为“当应用于……时”。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：但科学家们一致认为爬行动物并非冷漠无情——它们被误解了。A. senseless无知觉的；B. hateful可恨的；C. cruel残忍的；D. emotionless冷漠无情的。根据后文“they’re misunderstood”以及“reptiles experience a wide range of emotions”，可知科学家认为它们并非冷漠无情。 【23题详解】 考查动词。句意：越来越多的研究挑战了人们普遍接受的观念，即爬行动物只有生存本能的能力而没有情商。A. confirms证实；B. ignores忽视；C. challenges挑战；D. justifies证明正当。根据前文“Extensive research has shown that reptiles experience a wide range of emotions”以及后文“widely accepted notion”，新研究与旧观念相悖，是在“挑战”旧观念。 【24题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，尽管有大量证据表明爬行动物的情感能力，但它们仍然保持着在情感上和生理上一样冷血的声誉。A. cold-blooded冷血的；B. sensitive敏感的；C. aggressive攻击性的；D. negative消极的。根据前文“reptilian”一词的字面含义以及后文“misconceptions”，这里呼应标题“Not-so cold blooded”，指出人们认为爬行动物“cold-blooded”（既指冷血动物，也指冷酷无情）。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：倡导者说，这些误解可能导致在人工圈养和野外环境中对爬行动物需求的缺乏认识。A. ignorance无知；B. awareness认识，意识；C. tolerance容忍；D. adaptability适应性。根据前文“misconceptions”以及后文“for reptiles’ needs”可知，误解会导致人们“缺乏认识”它们的真实需求。lack of awareness意为“缺乏认识”。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：随着越来越多的爬行动物物种受到栖息地丧失的威胁，科学家和环保人士表示，认识到爬行动物的情绪能力，可以帮助宠物主人和政策制定者更好地照顾它们。A. recognizing认识到；B. assuming假定；C. overestimating高估；D. distinguishing区分。根据后文“help pet owners and policymakers alike take better care of them”可知，只有正确“认识到”爬行动物拥有情绪，才能推动人们更好地保护、照顾它们。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：然而，没有情绪的“蜥蜴脑”这一错误说法依旧持续存在。A. persists持续存在；B. disappears消失；C. changes改变；D. emerges出现。根据后文“Popularized in the 1970s”以及最后一段中13空后“the stereotypes around reptilian emotions have persisted”可知，即便有大量研究辟谣，这种错误的刻板印象“依然留存”。 【28题详解】 考查名词短语。句意：这个术语在20世纪70年代由天文学家、科学传播者Carl Sagan推广，指的是人类大脑中负责生存本能的部分。A. emotional responses情绪反应；B. logical thinking逻辑思维；C. social communication社交沟通；D. survival instinct生存本能。根据后文“the human brain evolved in stages by adding progressively more sophisticated structures to this underdeveloped lizard brain, including the limbic (边缘的) system, which is the source of our emotions”可知，传统理论认为“蜥蜴脑”是大脑最原始的部分，只负责最基础的生存本能，情绪等高级功能是后续演化出来的边缘系统负责的。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：根据这个误解，人类大脑是逐步进化的，在这个未发育完全的蜥蜴脑基础上，逐步添加更复杂的结构，包括作为情绪来源的边缘系统。A. assumption假设；B. principle原则；C. misconception错误观点；D. projection投射。根据后文“Scientists have repeatedly disproven the misconception throughout the 20th and 21st centuries”可知，这个“蜥蜴脑”相关的说法从一开始就只是一种没有被证实的理论假设，后来被科学家反复证伪。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：因为爬行动物是人类的进化先驱，长期以来一些研究人员认为，大脑中这个本能部分是我们长有鳞片的祖先唯一拥有的部分——没有类似人类的大脑结构，爬行动物根本没有产生情绪的能力。A. furry毛茸茸的；B. feathered有羽毛的；C. scaly有鳞片的；D. leathered皮革般的。根据前文“reptiles are our evolutionary forerunners”可知，爬行动物体表覆盖鳞片。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：虽然它们可能不像人类或其他哺乳动物那样以同样的方式外在地流露情绪，但爬行动物确实是高度社会化的动物。A. attractive吸引人的；B. impressive令人印象深刻的；C. apparent明显的；D. expressive富于表现力的。根据后文“reptiles are indeed highly social animals. They form emotional bonds and communicate them through instinctive sequences of movements and signals”可知，爬行动物确实有情感并通过特定方式表达，只是不像人类那样“富有表现力”。outwardly expressive意为“外在表现力强”。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些复杂的仪式被用于育幼、求偶和筑巢。A. rituals仪式；B. commands命令；C. traditions传统；D. rules规则。根据前文“instinctive sequences of movements and signals, performed in a fixed order each time”可知，这种固定顺序的行为模式被称为“仪式化的行为”。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，即使关于爬行动物社会化行为的研究不断积累，关于爬行动物情感的刻板印象仍然存在。A. evolution进化；B. domestication驯化；C. colonization殖民；D. socialization社会化。根据前文“reptiles are indeed highly social animals”以及“form emotional bonds and communicate”可知，研究的是它们的“社会化行为”。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：部分原因仅仅是因为爬行动物展示情感的方式与人类不同。A. hide隐藏；B. experience体验；C. exhibit展示，表现；D. control控制。根据后文“lizards emit chemicals to communicate”可知，它们通过化学物质“展示”情感。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：在一项2021年的研究中，研究人员发现蜥蜴会释放化学物质进行交流，这意味着它们比哺乳动物更难读懂。A. read读懂，解读；B. trust信任；C. capture捕捉；D. approach接近。根据前文“emit chemicals to communicate”可知，因为爬行动物用人类很难直接感知的化学信号传递情绪，所以人们很难“读懂、解读”它们的情绪。 Section B (22分) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Marmite is a thick, dark, salty spread that many British people like to eat on toast. It divides the British people, and its slogan is “You either love it or hate it”. Marmite’s maker, Unilever, wants to show that Marmite is not just a spread. New combinations are in the supermarkets, such as Marmite Brussels sprouts, Marmite pot noodles and Marmite peanut butter. For a long time, Marmite has been a secret staple (主食) of chefs and home cooks who use it in stocks (高汤) and sauces. Now Marmite has become a named ingredient on restaurant menus in all parts of the country. There’s the Marmite chicken wings at Eat Vietnam in Birmingham; Monica Galleti’s pumpkin pasta with Marmite and mushrooms at Mere, central London. “Chefs use it as a seasoning,” says the chef Sat Bains. “Like soy sauce, it gives depth and umami (鲜味).” Bains has been using Marmite quietly since his restaurant opened in Nottingham in 1999, “mixing it with butter and cooking fish and meat in it”. Tom Cenci of Loyal Tavern in London uses Marmite to make stocks and sauces rich and salty. “And I have vegetarian and vegan dishes that need a Marmite stock.” But he says, “Marmite has a lot of nostalgic (怀旧的) connections for people. As a child, I ate Marmite crumpets with a cup of tea. To put it into something like a cheesecake is silly.” Cenci doesn’t name Marmite as an ingredient on his menu because he’s worried that Marmite-haters won’t eat his food. “Some Marmite-haters, who hate the strong umami taste of Marmite on toast, find it much nicer to eat when it’s an ingredient in a recipe,”says Camila Williamson from Unilever. Marmite is made from leftover brewer’s yeast, so it is also popular with people who want to reduce food waste. It is popular in plant-based diets, too. Marmite has a lot of vitamin B12, which is found mostly in animal products. My friend Emily, a Marmite fan, says, “If you used to eat meat and are now a vegetarian, Marmite should be at the top of your shopping list.” 36. Which of the following is the feature of Marmite? A. It is a sweet spread that contains much vitamin B12. B. It is extracted from fish oil and popular in plant-based diets. C. It is a seasoning best going with tea leaves and cheesecakes. D. It is a thick and dark paste made from leftover brewer’s yeast. 37. People love Marmite for the following reasons except that _______. A. it reminds people of the past. B. it helps reduce food waste. C. it makes the other flavors richer. D. it’s cheaper than meat stock. 38. What can be inferred about the two chefs, Sat Bains and Tom Cenci? A. Both chefs have kept their use of Marmite low-key. B. Both chefs consider it off-putting to put Marmite into cheesecake. C. Both chefs use Marmite mainly to replace meat stock in vegetarian dishes. D. Cenci uses Marmite mainly in vegetarian dishes, while Bains uses it only for fish and meat. 39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Marmite, the most beloved food in the UK. B. Love it or hate it, Marmite is having a massive foodie moment. C. Marmite, the top of your shopping list for vegetarians. D. Love it or hate it, Marmite is a great favourite of top chefs. 【答案】36. D 37. D 38. A 39. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述英国食品马麦酱毁誉参半，如今广受厨师青睐，用途广泛且富含营养。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Marmite is made from leftover brewer’s yeast, so it is also popular with people who want to reduce food waste. It is popular in plant-based diets, too.(马麦酱由酿酒剩下的酵母制成，所以它也受到想要减少食物浪费人群的欢迎。)”可知，它是由酿酒剩余酵母制成的浓稠深色酱。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“But he says, “Marmite has a lot of nostalgic (怀旧的) connections for people. As a child, I ate Marmite crumpets with a cup of tea. To put it into something like a cheesecake is silly.”(但是他说：“马麦酱对人们而言承载着许多怀旧情愫。小时候，我就着一杯茶吃马麦酱烤松饼。把它放进芝士蛋糕这类食物里实在很荒唐。”)”、倒数第二段中“Marmite is made from leftover brewer’s yeast, so it is also popular with people who want to reduce food waste.(马麦酱由酿酒剩下的酵母制成，所以它也受到想要减少食物浪费人群的欢迎。)”以及第四段中“Like soy sauce, it gives depth and umami (鲜味).(就像酱油一样，它增添厚重感与鲜味。)”可知，A、B、C 三项都是人们喜爱它的原因。文中没有提到马麦酱比肉高汤更便宜。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Bains has been using Marmite quietly since his restaurant opened in Nottingham in 1999.(贝恩斯自1999年在诺丁汉的餐厅开业起就一直在悄悄使用马麦酱。)”和第六段中“Cenci doesn’t name Marmite as an ingredient on his menu because he’s worried that Marmite-haters won’t eat his food.(琴奇没有在菜单上把马麦酱列为食材，因为他担心讨厌马麦酱的人不会吃他的菜品。)”可知，两位厨师都低调使用马麦酱。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“It divides the British people, and its slogan is “You either love it or hate it”.(它让英国人看法两极分化，它的标语是“你要么爱它，要么恨它”。)”以及全文讲述马麦酱如今在美食圈走红可知，“Love it or hate it, Marmite is having a massive foodie moment(爱也好，恨也罢，马麦酱正风靡美食圈)”可作为本文标题。 (B) ADOPT A DOLPHIN NOW And you will receive: 1. WDC adoption pack 2. A certificate of adoption 3. Free magazine subscription 4. Dolphin updates throughout the year She’s beautiful. She’s intelligent. Don’t let her die. Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death by getting accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering. More than 300,000 dolphins die in fishing nets every year. You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just 4 a month. Adopt now. WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, in the advisement of governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue. Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free — including the dolphin you adopt. Meet the dolphins The dolphins each have their own personalities—more on the dolphin you’d like to adopt. The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth are amazing but they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will be building a special link with an individual dolphin and helping us to protect the whole population so as to give them a safer future. Kesslet Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf, Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved dorsal fin. She makes friends with lots of the local dolphins and can often be seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters. Mischief Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in a party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognized by the big nick(缺口)in his dorsal fin. Sundance Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was just a tiny calf, but is now a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with his friends. Why adopt a dolphin? ”I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!” says Miranda Krestovinikoff, a BBC TV presenter. Oil and gas exploration and production, large marina(码头)development, pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on dolphins and their homes. By adopting a dolphin, you will be building a special link with an individual dolphin and helping us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever — the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced. When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our work to protect dolphins around the world including: ◆ essential research — the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them. ◆ political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place to protect dolphins and to give them a safer future. ◆ equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our research. 40. What can be inferred about the dolphins referred to at the beginning of this advertisement? A. Their death rate is rising year by year. B. They are the most endangered sea animals in the world. C. They die accidentally as unintended victims of fishing. D. They are caught for entertainment and commercial value of their meat. 41. Which of the following is correct about the three dolphins? A. Mischief is often moody, while Sundance is sociable. B. Kesslet is able to outrun even the biggest salmon and Mischief. C. Kesslet is the only female; the other two are sociable males that love leaping. D. All three have agreeable personalities and distinguishing marks on their dorsal fins. 42. The advertisement includes Miranda Krestovinikoff’s words in order to ________. A. list the practical benefits that adopters will receive from WDC B. prove that dolphins are worth saving because of their beauty and intelligence C. inform readers that BBCTV presenters are among WDC’s regular supporters D. strengthen the campaign’s credibility through the endorsement of a public figure 【答案】40. C 41. C 42. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要是WDC保护组织的海豚认养公益广告，呼吁人们认养海豚助力保护工作。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中ADOPT A DOLPHIN NOW下列“Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death by getting accidentally trapped in fishing nets.(每两分钟就有一只海豚意外困在渔网中，承受漫长而痛苦的死亡。)” 可知，这些海豚是捕鱼活动中非故意造成的遇难受害者。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文Kesslet段落“Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf, Charlie.”(凯斯莱特是一位年轻妈妈，喜欢捕猎并和幼崽查理玩耍。)；Mischief: “Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in a party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance.”(米斯奇夫是一只十分友好的雄性海豚，总是兴致勃勃！常和桑丹斯等伙伴成群跃出水面。)；Sundance: “Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with his friends.”(桑丹斯非常善于社交，喜欢和伙伴跃出水面。)由此可知Kesslet是唯一雌性，另外两只是爱跳跃、善于社交的雄性。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据Why adopt a dolphin?下列“I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!” says Miranda Krestovinikoff, a BBC TV presenter.(英国广播公司主持人米兰达·克雷斯托维尼科夫说：“我十分推荐在WDC认养海豚。这是支持他们伟大工作的绝佳方式，你还能认识一只专属海豚！”)”可知，文中引用BBC主持人Miranda的推荐话语，借用公众人物的评价，增强这次公益宣传的可信度。 (C) ① Everyone has a book inside them, or so the saying goes. Today, aspiring writers can learn online from top authors — Lee Child and Harlan Coben teach thrillers, Jojo Moyes romances. Now Agatha Christie, the bestselling fiction writer with over two billion copies sold, is teaching the whodunnit despite having died in 1976. ② Her course comes not from archival footage but from AI. BBC Maestro proposed the idea to the Christie family, who agreed to revive the “Queen of Crime.” A team of nearly 100 scholars and AI experts worked on it: actress Vivien Keene stood in, with Christie’s face mapped on, using only Christie’s own words from her writings, notebooks, and interviews. ③ In this way, the creator of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple shares handy writing tips, such as the neatest ways to murder fictional victims. Many of Christie’s writing rules concern playing fair. She practiced misdirection and laid “false clues” alongside true ones, but insisted that her plots did not cheat or hide key evidence: “I never deceive my readers.” In sections devoted to plot and setting, she explains how to plant key clues “in plain sight” and plan events with detailed “maps and diagrams.” She advises viewers to watch and listen to strangers on buses or in shops. ④ By relying on Christie’s own words, BBC Maestro hopes to avoid accusations of creepy deepfake teaching. At the same time, it is that focus on quotation that limits the course’s value as a creative-writing toolbox. The woman born Agatha Miller in 1890 speaks from her own time and place. She tells wannabe writers to use snowstorms to isolate murder scenes (as they bring down telephone wires) and cites the clue-generating value of railway timetables, ink stains and cut-up newspapers. These charming details are irrelevant to modern writers. ⑤ Furthermore, Christie’s juiciest mysteries smash crime-writing rules. The narrator does it; the detective does it; all the suspects do it. Sometimes there isn’t even a detective in the story: In The Hollow, Christie regretted that Poirot appeared at all. This high-tech version of the author feels smaller and flatter than the brilliant original. 43. The underlined phrase “playing fair” in Paragraph 3 most probably means that Christie ________. A. never employed false clues to deceive her readers B. hid clues in advance so as not to spoil readers’enjoyment C. misdirected readers but kept key evidence available D. avoided complex plot structures to help readers solve mysteries independently 44. What can be inferred from Christie’s specific writing tips mentioned in paragraph 4? A. These practical devices have become standard tools in modern mystery writing. B. Contemporary writers can benefit from these concrete details. C. The AI course has carefully selected these tips for their enduring value. D. Christie’s advice is conditioned by the technological and social reality of her time. 45. In the last paragraph, the author mentions the underlined part mainly to suggest ________. A. Christie’s true brilliance lay in going beyond the conventions she teaches in the course. B. Christie’s groundbreaking contribution to redefining the detective story as a literary genre. C. why Christie’s works have maintained their enduring appeal over many decades. D. the extraordinary range and inventiveness of Christie’s plot construction. 46. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Learn to Write Mysteries from Agatha Christie B. Bringing Back the Queen of Crime C. The Writing Secrets of the Queen of Crime D. Agatha Christie’s Enduring Legacy in the Digital Age 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍BBC Maestro借助AI用克里斯蒂原话复活“犯罪女王”开设写作课，其建议虽过时，但她最精彩的作品恰恰打破课程所授规则。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“She practiced misdirection and laid “false clues” alongside true ones, but insisted that her plots did not cheat or hide key evidence: “I never deceive my readers.”(她运用误导手法，在真实线索旁边放置“虚假线索”，但坚持自己的情节不会欺骗读者或隐藏关键证据：“我从不欺骗我的读者。”)”可知，阿加莎会误导读者，但会保留关键证据供读者发现，因此“playing fair”表示她虽设置误导，但关键证据是可获取的。。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The woman born Agatha Miller in 1890 speaks from her own time and place.(这位出生于1890年的阿加莎・米勒女士，是站在她自己的时代和地域说话的。)”以及后文提到她建议用暴风雪隔离谋杀现场、利用火车时刻表和油墨污渍制造线索可知，她的建议受制于其所处时代的技术与社会现实。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Furthermore, Christie’s juiciest mysteries smash crime-writing rules. The narrator does it; the detective does it; all the suspects do it. Sometimes there isn’t even a detective in the story: In The Hollow, Christie regretted that Poirot appeared at all. This high-tech version of the author feels smaller and flatter than the brilliant original.(此外，克里斯蒂最精彩的悬疑小说打破了犯罪小说的写作规则：叙述者这样做，侦探这样做，所有嫌疑人都这样做。有时故事里甚至根本没有侦探——《The Hollow》中，克里斯蒂就后悔让波洛出场了。这个高科技版的克里斯蒂，比才华横溢的原版显得更渺小、更平淡。)”可知，作者提到这一点是想表明克里斯蒂真正的才华在于超越课程中所讲授的那些规则。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“BBC Maestro proposed the idea to the Christie family, who agreed to revive the “Queen of Crime.”(BBC Maestro向克里斯蒂家族提出了这个想法，家族同意让“犯罪女王”复活。)”可知，全文围绕借助AI复活克里斯蒂开设写作课展开，既介绍课程内容又指出其局限，所以B项“Bringing Back the Queen of Crime(带回犯罪女王)”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。 Section C(8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Being Scientists Doesn’t Make Us Science Communicators A few weeks ago, a well-meaning professor tried to explain the physiological process behind viruses and the human body in a tweet and was immediately criticized for a mistake in his information. He then issued an apology and deleted his erroneous tweet. ____47____ Communicating science beyond the academic bubble is necessary to augmenting public understanding of health and environmental issues and helping individuals make well-informed personal decisions. However, scientists who engage in science communication must acknowledge that even in their area, their expertise is deep but narrow. They need to recognize the limitations in their own knowledge. That is not to suggest that they only write or present on their own research, but rather, that they consult with an expert if the topic is outside of their discipline. ____48____ Some have argued that the public is not educated enough to understand scientific information, especially for any complex phenomena, but this is absurd. Science instruction can be found at all levels of public education with most secondary schools offering classes on biology, physics, and chemistry. ____49____ Even the public discourse that follows most scientific articles shows that online readers can understand even the most baffling of scientific principles. ____50____ It requires rigorous training and instruction. A scientist should take communication courses that can teach a person how to identify and eliminate jargon and how to develop effective analogies to explain complex concepts. One cannot assume communication expertise-imagine if someone just decided that they were a physicist and started trying to contribute to the field without the necessary background. Doing a poor job communicating science to the public will only create confusion and widen the gap between science and society, a gap that scientists are trying to close. A. Science communication is a science in and of itself. B. Many scientists assume that their specialist knowledge qualifies them to carry out science communication. C. If anything, social media has shown that the public craves knowledge based on a solid scientific foundation. D. Sharing scientific knowledge with a broad online audience demands far greater caution than many researchers tend to expect. E. Any explanation that requires a written key to keep track of what each item represents is not a clear example for public consumption. F. Fact-checking with experts in the relevant field can not only stop accidental spread of false information, but also bring about some interesting new findings. 【答案】47. D 48. F 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述科学家并不天然就是科学传播者，科普需要专业能力。 【47题详解】 由上文“A few weeks ago, a well-meaning professor tried to explain the physiological process behind viruses and the human body in a tweet and was immediately criticized for a mistake in his information. He then issued an apology and deleted his erroneous tweet. (几周之前，一位好心教授在推文里讲解病毒与人体的生理过程，却因信息错误立刻受到批评，随后他道歉并删除了错误推文。)”可知，空格承接教授科普出错的事例。D项“Sharing scientific knowledge with a broad online audience demands far greater caution than many researchers tend to expect. (向广大网络受众分享科学知识，需要比很多研究者预想的更加谨慎。)”承接前文事例，引出科普话题，起到承上启下作用。 【48题详解】 由上文“That is not to suggest that they only write or present on their own research, but rather, that they consult with an expert if the topic is outside of their discipline. (这并不是说他们只能介绍自己的研究，而是如果话题超出自身学科范畴，就要咨询专家。)”可知，空格处要说明咨询专家的意义。F项“Fact-checking with experts in the relevant field can not only stop accidental spread of false information, but also bring about some interesting new findings. (和相关领域专家核对事实，不仅能避免错误信息无意间传播，还可能产生一些有趣的新发现。)”承接上文“咨询专家”这一观点，逻辑通顺。 【49题详解】 由上文“Some have argued that the public is not educated enough to understand scientific information, especially for any complex phenomena, but this is absurd. Science instruction can be found at all levels of public education with most secondary schools offering classes on biology, physics, and chemistry. (有人认为公众受教育程度不足以理解科学信息，尤其是复杂现象，但这很荒谬。公共教育各个阶段都设有科学课程，大多数中学开设生物、物理、化学课。)”可知，本段反驳公众看不懂科学的观点。C项“If anything, social media has shown that the public craves knowledge based on a solid scientific foundation. (恰恰相反，社交媒体表明公众渴求建立在可靠科学基础之上的知识。)”继续支撑论点，进一步说明公众对科学知识的需求。 【50题详解】 由下文“It requires rigorous training and instruction. (它需要严格的训练与指导。)”可知，It指代空格内容。A项“Science communication is a science in and of itself. (科学传播本身就是一门科学。)”后文It指代Science communication，前后呼应，引出科普需要专门训练的观点。 IV. Summary Writing(10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  When Screen Time Equals Opportunity Many of us view a screen time report like a credit card bill — ignorance is bliss. The benefits of logging off are clear: lower stress, improved sleep, reduced headaches and enhanced focus. Kids especially struggle with putting down their phones. According to the American Academy of Paediatrics, teens aged 14 to 17 averaged about 8.5 hours of screen time per day in 2021. And in 2024, 46 percent of 13- to 17-year-olds said they are online “almost constantly, ” according to Pew Research. But what if all that time in front of a screen could actually be good for kids? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy lauded a recent effort to recruit video gamers that resulted in more than 2,000 new air traffic control trainees. The campaign built a pipeline to the Federal Aviation Administration for young applicants with transferable skills — suggesting all those hours playing Xbox may not have been numbing their brains as their parents warned, but in fact making them employable. And while many kids still aspire to be doctors, teachers and athletes, the social media age offers a new path to success. A Junior Achievement USA study found that 60 percent of teens would rather start their own business than have a traditional job, with two in five of them having been inspired by social media influencers. The turn from consumer to creator has never been so accessible and profitable: Hundreds of bored teens in the pandemic turned silly dances into massive followings that resulted in brand deals and reality TV spots. Colleges are taking note. Arizona State University is offering a content creation major through its Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Critics might argue this is a waste of tuition money or just a flashy repackaging of multimedia journalism. But with media studies courses and electives like podcasting and on-camera presence, students can be steps ahead of ill-produced #dayinmylife videos. Being chronically online doesn’t necessarily guarantee success in the real world, though. A New York financier believed that AI-native hires aren’t as prepared for the corporate world as initially believed. The anonymous financier said his firm now seeks out humanities majors, saying it wants critical thinking skills, not just AI proficiency. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Though screen time is widely seen as damaging, it offers teenagers new opportunities. Online gaming cultivates transferable working skills, and social media inspires teens to become creators and entrepreneurs. Relevant college majors are also available. Nevertheless, frequent online use fails to guarantee success, as companies prefer critical thinking to pure digital competence. 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍说尽管屏幕时间常被认为有害，但它为青少年带来了新的机遇。网络游戏有助于培养可迁移的工作技能，社交媒体则激励青少年成为创作者和创业者。此外，部分大学也开设了相关专业。然而，频繁使用网络并不能保证成功，因为企业更看重批判性思维，而非单纯的数字能力。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Many of us view a screen time report like a credit card bill — ignorance is bliss.
