Lucas Longhurst, a former soldier, who sees school buses as vehicles for possibilities, now works with high school students to transform retired school buses into useful spaces to help their communities.
After leaving the military, Longhurst, seeking freedom and adventure, spent six months turning his first school bus into a rolling home. Locals began coming by to look at his bus and word spread that Longhurst had created something unusual and usable. In 2016, Longhurst was hired to build a bus as a mobile clinic to reach underserved communities. That experience planted a seed — he saw how a bus could go beyond mobility and become a lifeline. He wondered how he could expand that vision further.
Then in 2023, Waggener High School students in a low-income area approached him for help. They were members of the school’s Black Student Union (BSU). One of them noticed that every time he came to school, he would see classmates with junk food. “We realized that part of town had only two grocery stores to serve about 60,000 people,” a student said. Therefore, they decided to create a bus program, Grub on Wheels, which would deliver free, fresh foods to underserved areas.
Longhurst met regularly with the students to review designs and determine what he could build. They raised $40,000, and Longhurst personally donated $5,330 to help cover the cost. They cleared out the bus and raised its roof. “We want a lot of space inside the bus for shelving and a sink, and also set up solar panels and generators,” said a student. When completed, the bus will be a space where students will deliver food and clothes for charity drives, host events and also lead workshops.
“It’s more like creating usable art than traditional building,” said Longhurst. “And I wanted to share that inspiration with more people.”
4. What inspired Longhurst to use a bus to help people?
A. His work creating a rolling home. B. The locals’ admiration for his work.
C. His experience building a mobile clinic. D. The students’ request for food delivery.
5. Why was Grub on Wheels launched?
A. To give away healthy food. B. To increase local income.
C. To serve as an art workshop. D. To replace traditional stores.
6. What can be inferred about Grub on Wheels?
A. It was designed by students.
B. It will serve multiple functions.
C. It has already been put into use.
D. It was mainly funded by Longhurst.
7. What can best describe Longhurst?
A. Patient and profit-seeking. B. Creative and public-spirited.
C. Disciplined and book-smart. D. Competitive and solution-focused.
C
Many people are used to switching tasks frequently: checking mobile messages while reading documents, answering sudden work requests in the middle of study, or replying to social chats when concentrating on thinking. You may think you are being productive, but chances are you are hurting your brain more than helping it. Modern cognitive (认知的) psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine.
Researchers carried out a controlled experiment for office staff. One group worked without intentional interruption, while the other group received scheduled message reminders every 15 minutes. Statistics showed that the interrupted group’s work error rate rose by 42%, and their sense of mental exhaustion increased obviously even with the same working hours. Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex (前额叶) cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time. So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced switching between tasks. Every interruption will make the brain lose the built-up logical context, and it takes an average of 23 minutes for focused thinking to fully recover. Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive energy on state adjustment, leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting.
This phenomenon is particularly concerning in the modern workplace, where employees are often expected to handle emails, messages, and meetings at the same time. One of the reasons why this is problematic is that fragmented (碎片化的) work reduces not only individual productivity but also the depth of thinking required for creative problem-solving. In other words, multitasking may create the impression of busyness while reducing the quality of our output.
This cognitive law applies to student learning and workplace management alike. Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption. Understanding this psychological feature helps people get rid of fragmented distraction and rebuild efficient long-time focused thinking ability.
8. What finding do modern cognitive psychology studies come to?
A. Productivity declines during difficult tasks.
B. It is well accepted to switch tasks frequently.
C. The thinking efficiency varies with task types.
D. People underestimate the harm of interruption.
9. Why is true multitasking impossible for humans?
A. Mental resources are used up in cognition.
B. Brains are not naturally structured this way.
C. Interruptions delay logical thinking process.
D. Task-switching cuts people’s working hours.
10. What measure does the text suggest against fragmented distraction?
A. Raise people’s problem-solving ability.
B. Deal with emails whenever they arrive.
C. Schedule specific deep work time blocks.
D. Finish the less important at one’s free time.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain
B. How Students Can Improve Learning Efficiency
C. The Advantages of Long-time Focused Thinking
D. New Findings on Human Brain Memory System
D
On September 1, 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his crew spotted one of Titanic’s boilers. They erupted with cheers. By the time of the crew’s discovery, 73 years had passed since the ship sank. Several missions had set off to look for it, including a 1977 one led by Ballard.
In the early 1980s, Ballard asked the U. S. Navy to fund the development of the Argo, an unmanned camera sled that could be dragged behind a surface ship at depths of up to 20, 000 feet. The Navy were interested in using the Argo to survey the wrecks (沉船)of the U. S. S. Thresher and Scorpion, two nuclear submarines (潜水艇)that had been lost in the North Atlantic. They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locate and map the two subs, he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic.
While photographing Thresher and Scorpion, Ballard noticed that the current had carried debris (碎片)from the ships as they fell to the seafloor, creating a long chain. With this in mind, he decided not to search for Titanic’s main body. Instead, he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track, which might stretch as far as a mile. Once he found it, he could use it to track down the ship itself. With the new approach, after a few days, they discovered the boiler. Argo stalked the debris track, and the following morning, Titanic’s bow came out of the inky depths.
“The Titanic lies now in 13, 000 feet of water,” Ballard said at a press conference, “There is no light at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. Forever may it remain that way.”
12. Why did the Navy support the development of the Argo?
A. To develop underwater robots.
B. To locate the wreck of Titanic.
C. To find two nuclear submarines.
D. To map the North Atlantic.
13. What gave Ballard inspiration for the new search method?
A. The 1977 search attempt.
B. The surface ship with the Argo.
C. The photographs of Titanic.
D. The debris chain of the submarines.
14. What does the underlined word “stalked” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Traced. B. Recognized.
C. Cleared. D. Dragged.
15. What is the purpose of Ballard’s statement at the press conference?
A. To share the exact position of Titanic.
B. To advocate leaving Titanic undisturbed.
C. To launch surveys on sea tragedies.
D. To show respect for Ballard’s crew.

What Makes Social Media Posts Popular
Today, social media has become an essential part of modern life. People share stories and ideas online to win likes and attention. However, posts differ greatly in popularity: some become popular quickly, while others get almost no notice. ____16____ In fact, plenty of studies prove that the popularity of online content depends on three major factors rather than pure luck.
____17____ Firstly, emotional expression and vivid visual effects attract more attention. Posts that carry true feelings are far more likely to be shared than those filled with empty words. Besides, interactive designs and sincere personal experiences also work wonders. As AI-edited content floods the internet, authentic materials have gradually become the most appealing choice for ordinary viewers.
Apart from content quality, your social connections also make a big difference. People used to believe that close friends and relatives could help posts reach more people. In fact, loose ties and diverse social groups can push information to a much wider range of audiences and keep posts popular for a longer time. ____18____
Last but not least, the creator’s own qualities are equally important. If you focus on a certain field such as food or movies, you will gather a group of loyal fans. Viewers tend to support creators who are reliable and willing to share practical thoughts. ____19____ This kind of positive interaction will bring steady support to your online posts.
To sum up, online content popularity depends on careful preparation rather than pure luck. This general trend is decided by the three major factors. ____20____ Keeping them in mind, you will make your posts more competitive online.
A. It is content quality that matters most.
B. Thus, such connections simply work better.
C. People often ignore these practical suggestions.
D. A good title is also important to draw people’s attention.
E. Therefore, trust will naturally form between the two sides.
F. These key rules explain why some posts win wide popularity.
G. This phenomenon makes many users curious about the real reasons.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.

Lucas Longhurst, a former soldier, who sees school buses as vehicles for possibilities, now works with high school students to transform retired school buses into useful spaces to help their communities.
After leaving the military, Longhurst, seeking freedom and adventure, spent six months turning his first school bus into a rolling home. Locals began coming by to look at his bus and word spread that Longhurst had created something unusual and usable. In 2016, Longhurst was hired to build a bus as a mobile clinic to reach underserved communities. That experience planted a seed — he saw how a bus could go beyond mobility and become a lifeline. He wondered how he could expand that vision further.
Then in 2023, Waggener High School students in a low-income area approached him for help. They were members of the school’s Black Student Union (BSU). One of them noticed that every time he came to school, he would see classmates with junk food. “We realized that part of town had only two grocery stores to serve about 60,000 people,” a student said. Therefore, they decided to create a bus program, Grub on Wheels, which would deliver free, fresh foods to underserved areas.
Longhurst met regularly with the students to review designs and determine what he could build. They raised $40,000, and Longhurst personally donated $5,330 to help cover the cost. They cleared out the bus and raised its roof. “We want a lot of space inside the bus for shelving and a sink, and also set up solar panels and generators,” said a student. When completed, the bus will be a space where students will deliver food and clothes for charity drives, host events and also lead workshops.
“It’s more like creating usable art than traditional building,” said Longhurst. “And I wanted to share that inspiration with more people.”
4. What inspired Longhurst to use a bus to help people?
A. His work creating a rolling home. B. The locals’ admiration for his work.
C. His experience building a mobile clinic. D. The students’ request for food delivery.
5. Why was Grub on Wheels launched?
A. To give away healthy food. B. To increase local income.
C. To serve as an art workshop. D. To replace traditional stores.
6. What can be inferred about Grub on Wheels?
A. It was designed by students.
B. It will serve multiple functions.
C. It has already been put into use.
D. It was mainly funded by Longhurst.
7. What can best describe Longhurst?
A. Patient and profit-seeking. B. Creative and public-spirited.
C. Disciplined and book-smart. D. Competitive and solution-focused.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B

【导语】本文主要讲的是退役军人卢卡斯·朗赫斯特和高中生合作,将退役校车改造成社区公益空间,落地“车轮上的美食”公益项目的暖心故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In 2016, Longhurst was hired to build a bus as a mobile clinic to reach underserved communities. That experience planted a seed — he saw how a bus could go beyond mobility and become a lifeline.(2016年,朗赫斯特受聘打造一辆巴士作为移动诊所,为弱势社区提供服务。这段经历埋下了种子——他意识到,巴士不仅能用于出行,还能成为生命线。)”可知,2016 年他受雇建造移动诊所巴士,这次经历埋下种子,启发他把巴士用作帮助他人的工具。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Therefore, they decided to create a bus program, Grub on Wheels, which would deliver free, fresh foods to underserved areas.(因此,他们决定创办一个名为“车轮上的美食”的巴士项目,为弱势地区免费配送新鲜食品。)”可知,该项目旨在向物资匮乏地区派送免费新鲜的食物,新鲜食物对应健康食物。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When completed, the bus will be a space where students will deliver food and clothes for charity drives, host events and also lead workshops.(改造完成后,这辆巴士将成为这样一种空间:学生们可以在这里为慈善活动运送食物与衣物、举办活动,还能主持讲习班。)”可知,巴士建成之后,可以派送衣食、举办活动、开展讲习班,由此推断它具备多种功能。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Lucas Longhurst, a former soldier, who sees school buses as vehicles for possibilities, now works with high school students to transform retired school buses into useful spaces to help their communities.(卢卡斯·朗赫斯特曾是一名军人,他将校车视为实现可能性的工具。如今,他与高中生合作,将退役的校车改造成实用空间,帮助他们的社区。)”和下文可知,他把退役校车改造成移动诊所、公益食物巴士,因此他有创造力,且热心公益,因此可用creative和public-spirited来描述他。

Many people are used to switching tasks frequently: checking mobile messages while reading documents, answering sudden work requests in the middle of study, or replying to social chats when concentrating on thinking. You may think you are being productive, but chances are you are hurting your brain more than helping it. Modern cognitive (认知的) psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine.
Researchers carried out a controlled experiment for office staff. One group worked without intentional interruption, while the other group received scheduled message reminders every 15 minutes. Statistics showed that the interrupted group’s work error rate rose by 42%, and their sense of mental exhaustion increased obviously even with the same working hours. Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex (前额叶) cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time. So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced switching between tasks. Every interruption will make the brain lose the built-up logical context, and it takes an average of 23 minutes for focused thinking to fully recover. Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive energy on state adjustment, leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting.
This phenomenon is particularly concerning in the modern workplace, where employees are often expected to handle emails, messages, and meetings at the same time. One of the reasons why this is problematic is that fragmented (碎片化的) work reduces not only individual productivity but also the depth of thinking required for creative problem-solving. In other words, multitasking may create the impression of busyness while reducing the quality of our output.
This cognitive law applies to student learning and workplace management alike. Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption. Understanding this psychological feature helps people get rid of fragmented distraction and rebuild efficient long-time focused thinking ability.
8. What finding do modern cognitive psychology studies come to?
A. Productivity declines during difficult tasks.
B. It is well accepted to switch tasks frequently.
C. The thinking efficiency varies with task types.
D. People underestimate the harm of interruption.
9. Why is true multitasking impossible for humans?
A. Mental resources are used up in cognition.
B. Brains are not naturally structured this way.
C. Interruptions delay logical thinking process.
D. Task-switching cuts people’s working hours.
10. What measure does the text suggest against fragmented distraction?
A. Raise people’s problem-solving ability.
B. Deal with emails whenever they arrive.
C. Schedule specific deep work time blocks.
D. Finish the less important at one’s free time.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain
B. How Students Can Improve Learning Efficiency
C. The Advantages of Long-time Focused Thinking
D. New Findings on Human Brain Memory System
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文从人们频繁切换任务的现象切入,指出现代认知心理学研究表明持续干扰对思维效率的伤害超乎想象,并通过实验数据与大脑运行机制说明所谓“多任务”实为被迫的快速切换,最后建议设定固定专注时段、关闭无关提醒等,以重建深度专注能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Modern cognitive psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine(现代认知心理学研究表明,持续的中断对思维效率的削弱比大多数人所想象的更大)”可知,人们低估了干扰的害处。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time. So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced switching between tasks(心理学家解释说,人类前额叶无法同时处理两套复杂的逻辑信息。所谓多任务实际上是任务间的快速强制切换)”可知,真正的多任务之所以不可能,是因为大脑本身不具备这样的构造。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption(设定固定的专注工作时间段、关闭非必要的消息提醒、集中处理琐事,可以有效避免不必要的干扰)”可知,文中建议安排专门的深度工作时段。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕“频繁切换任务、持续干扰会损害大脑思维效率”这一主题展开,先指出现象与危害,再解释机制,最后给出建议。A项“Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain(为何频繁切换任务会让大脑疲惫)”准确概括了文章主旨。

On September 1, 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his crew spotted one of Titanic’s boilers. They erupted with cheers. By the time of the crew’s discovery, 73 years had passed since the ship sank. Several missions had set off to look for it, including a 1977 one led by Ballard.
In the early 1980s, Ballard asked the U. S. Navy to fund the development of the Argo, an unmanned camera sled that could be dragged behind a surface ship at depths of up to 20, 000 feet. The Navy were interested in using the Argo to survey the wrecks (沉船)of the U. S. S. Thresher and Scorpion, two nuclear submarines (潜水艇)that had been lost in the North Atlantic. They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locate and map the two subs, he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic.
While photographing Thresher and Scorpion, Ballard noticed that the current had carried debris (碎片)from the ships as they fell to the seafloor, creating a long chain. With this in mind, he decided not to search for Titanic’s main body. Instead, he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track, which might stretch as far as a mile. Once he found it, he could use it to track down the ship itself. With the new approach, after a few days, they discovered the boiler. Argo stalked the debris track, and the following morning, Titanic’s bow came out of the inky depths.
“The Titanic lies now in 13, 000 feet of water,” Ballard said at a press conference, “There is no light at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. Forever may it remain that way.”
12. Why did the Navy support the development of the Argo?
A. To develop underwater robots.
B. To locate the wreck of Titanic.
C. To find two nuclear submarines.
D. To map the North Atlantic.
13. What gave Ballard inspiration for the new search method?
A. The 1977 search attempt.
B. The surface ship with the Argo.
C. The photographs of Titanic.
D. The debris chain of the submarines.
14. What does the underlined word “stalked” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Traced. B. Recognized.
C. Cleared. D. Dragged.
15. What is the purpose of Ballard’s statement at the press conference?
A. To share the exact position of Titanic.
B. To advocate leaving Titanic undisturbed.
C. To launch surveys on sea tragedies.
D. To show respect for Ballard’s crew.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Dr. Robert Ballard和他的船员发现泰坦尼克号上的一个锅炉的过程,以及在发布会上呼吁让泰坦尼克号保持现在的状态。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locate and map the two subs, he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic.(他们最终同意,如果巴拉德能够成功定位并绘制两艘潜艇的地图,他可以利用剩下的时间寻找泰坦尼克号。)”可知,海军对丢失的两艘核潜艇感兴趣,只要Ballard能定位和绘制出两艘舰艇的地图,就可以资助他们开发Argo,所以他们资助开发Argo是为了找到两艘舰艇。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While photographing Thresher and Scorpion, Ballard noticed that the current had carried debris (碎片)from the ships as they fell to the seafloor, creating a long chain. With this in mind, he decided not to search for Titanic’s main body.(在拍摄Thresher和Scorpion两艘舰艇时,Ballard注意到水流从船上掉落到海底时携带了碎片,重新形成了一条长链。 考虑到这一点,他决定不寻找泰坦尼克号的主体。)”可知,Ballard注意到水流从船上携带了很多碎片,形成一条长链,这使得他决定不再寻找泰坦尼克号的主体,所以潜艇的碎片链启发他使用新的搜查方法。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Instead, he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track, which might stretch as far as a mile. Once he found it, he could use it to track down the ship itself. With the new approach, after a few days, they discovered the boiler.(相反,他会使用Argo来搜索其更大的碎片轨迹,这些碎片轨道可能延伸至一英里。一旦他找到它,他就可以用它来追踪轮船本身。通过新方法,几天后,他们发现了锅炉。)”可知,他用Argo搜索更大的碎片轨迹,一旦找到,就可以用它来跟踪轮船本身,根据该单词后面的“and the following morning, Titanic’s bow came out of the inky depths.(第二天早上,泰坦尼克号的船头从漆黑的深处出来了。)”可知,他们使用Argo搜索轮船的方法成功了,而该单词所在的句子是对以上方法的进一步陈述,所以此处Argo应是“跟踪”轨迹,最后泰坦尼克号的船头浮出水面。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The Titanic lies now in 13, 000 feet of water,” Ballard said at a press conference, “There is no light at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. Forever may it remain that way.”(“泰坦尼克号现在躺在13,000英尺的水中,”巴拉德在新闻发布会上说,“在这么深的地方,这里没有任何东西,几乎找不到生命。这是一个安静祥和的地方,也是这个最大的海上悲剧的遗迹休息的合适地方。愿它永远保持这种状态。”)”可知,在发布会上,Ballard泰坦尼克号所处的地方是一个安静祥和的地方,也是适合他的遗迹休息的合适地方,所以他的发布会是呼吁人们不要再去干扰泰坦尼克号。故选B项。

What Makes Social Media Posts Popular
Today, social media has become an essential part of modern life. People share stories and ideas online to win likes and attention. However, posts differ greatly in popularity: some become popular quickly, while others get almost no notice. ____16____ In fact, plenty of studies prove that the popularity of online content depends on three major factors rather than pure luck.
____17____ Firstly, emotional expression and vivid visual effects attract more attention. Posts that carry true feelings are far more likely to be shared than those filled with empty words. Besides, interactive designs and sincere personal experiences also work wonders. As AI-edited content floods the internet, authentic materials have gradually become the most appealing choice for ordinary viewers.
Apart from content quality, your social connections also make a big difference. People used to believe that close friends and relatives could help posts reach more people. In fact, loose ties and diverse social groups can push information to a much wider range of audiences and keep posts popular for a longer time. ____18____
Last but not least, the creator’s own qualities are equally important. If you focus on a certain field such as food or movies, you will gather a group of loyal fans. Viewers tend to support creators who are reliable and willing to share practical thoughts. ____19____ This kind of positive interaction will bring steady support to your online posts.
To sum up, online content popularity depends on careful preparation rather than pure luck. This general trend is decided by the three major factors. ____20____ Keeping them in mind, you will make your posts more competitive online.
A. It is content quality that matters most.
B. Thus, such connections simply work better.
C. People often ignore these practical suggestions.
D. A good title is also important to draw people’s attention.
E. Therefore, trust will naturally form between the two sides.
F. These key rules explain why some posts win wide popularity.
G. This phenomenon makes many users curious about the real reasons.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了社交媒体帖子流行并非偶然,而是由内容质量、社交关系和创作者特质三大因素共同决定。
【16题详解】
上文“However, posts differ greatly in popularity: some become popular quickly, while others get almost no notice.(然而,帖子的受欢迎程度差异巨大:有些迅速走红,而另一些几乎无人问津)”说明帖子流行度存在显著差异这一现象。空处和前文为顺接关系,引出人们对这一现象背后原因的探究。所以G项“这一现象让许多用户对真正的原因感到好奇。”符合语境。G项中的“This phenomenon”与前文的“posts differ greatly in popularity”相呼应。
【17题详解】
下文“Firstly, emotional expression and vivid visual effects attract more attention.(首先,情感表达和生动的视觉效果更能吸引注意力)”开始具体阐述影响帖子流行的第一个因素。空处位于段首,为本段主题句。所以A项“内容质量最为关键。”符合语境。A项概括了本段核心,与后文列举的情感表达、真实素材等内容质量要素相呼应。
【18题详解】
上文“In fact, loose ties and diverse social groups can push information to a much wider range of audiences and keep posts popular for a longer time.(事实上,弱关系和多样化的社交群体能将信息推送给更广泛的受众,并使帖子长时间保持热度)”说明了广泛社交关系的积极作用。空处和前文为因果关系,总结这种连接方式的优越性。所以B项“因此,这样的连接效果就是更好。”符合语境。B项中的“such connections”与前文的“loose ties and diverse social groups”相呼应。
【19题详解】
上文“Viewers tend to support creators who are reliable and willing to share practical thoughts.(观众倾向于支持那些可靠且愿意分享实用见解的创作者)”说明观众对创作者的信任与支持。下文“This kind of positive interaction will bring steady support to your online posts.(这种积极的互动将为你的在线帖子带来稳定的支持)”指出双方互动带来的结果。空处承上启下,说明信任的建立。所以E项“因此,双方之间自然会建立起信任。”符合语境。E项中的trust是观众支持创作者和产生积极互动的基础。
【20题详解】
上文“To sum up, online content popularity depends on careful preparation rather than pure luck. This general trend is decided by the three major factors.(总之,网络内容的流行依赖于精心准备而非纯粹的运气。这一普遍趋势由三大因素决定)”对全文进行了总结。下文“Keeping them in mind, you will make your posts more competitive online.(牢记它们,你将使自己的帖子在网络上更具竞争力)”呼吁读者记住这些要点。空处应指代前文提到的“three major factors”。所以F项“这些关键规则解释了为何某些帖子能获得广泛欢迎。”符合语境。F项中的“These key rules”与上文的“three major factors”相呼应。

【答案】范文
My Valuable Companion
My most valuable item is a faded blue notebook, with a tiny hand-drawn sun sticker on the cover and slightly curled, worn-out edges after three years of constant use. It was a special gift from my primary school head teacher when I felt depressed about my first exam failure.
Whenever I run into study difficulties or feel low, I write down my struggles and small progress in it. It tracks every step of my growth and carries the teacher’s silent encouragement. It always inspires me to keep going, serving as my warm companion along my growth journey.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Anxious yet determined, I dialed the number, my fingers trembling slightly. It didn’t take long before a young woman’s voice came through the receiver. No sooner had she heard my detailed description of the fawn-colored puppy than she choked up, insisting on coming over at once. Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang, with Molly’s excited barks echoing through the house. Reluctant though I was, I opened the door, forcing myself to face the moment of goodbye.
I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Tears of joy streamed down her face as Molly licked her cheeks. The girls, who had been peeking from behind the sofa, stepped out slowly, their eyes glistening with tears. Much to our relief, the woman promised she would bring Molly to our home at weekends. Before they left, the woman extended her heartfelt gratitude. This experience served as a constant reminder that doing the right thing — even when it hurts — brings the peace that comes from following our conscience.
