A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍卡塔尔航空面向Visa学生卡持卡人推出的限时订票优惠、抽奖活动及学生俱乐部专属福利。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Benefits*:”部分中“In addition, you can join our lucky draw to win the surprise.(此外，你还可以参与我们的抽奖活动赢取惊喜)”以及“Specified flight section upgrade: one winner (2 in total) will be born on each flight originating from Hangzhou and Guangzhou to get the upgrade.(指定航段升舱：从杭州、广州出发的每个航班各产生1名获奖者，共计2名，可获得升舱资格)”可知，Visa学生卡持卡人可通过抽奖获得指定航段升舱的机会。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Benefits*:”部分中“Specified flight section upgrade: one winner (2 in total) will be born on each flight originating from Hangzhou and Guangzhou to get the upgrade.(指定航段升舱：从杭州、广州出发的每个航班各产生1名获奖者，共计2名，可获得升舱资格)”以及“Doha Hamad International Airport Lounge Voucher: two winners (4 in total) will be selected from each flight originating from Hangzhou and Guangzhou to get the voucher.(多哈哈马德国际机场休息室代金券：从杭州、广州出发的每个航班各选出2名获奖者，共计4名，可获得该代金券)”可知，抽奖相关福利仅覆盖杭州、广州出发的航班，由此可推知上海出发的航班不适用抽奖条件。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中所有优惠、抽奖活动条目后标注“* Terms and conditions apply.(*条款与条件适用)”，结合商业活动的通用规则可推知，该说明意在提示用户各项福利均有对应的使用规则与限制要求。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Level upgrade: Fly at least once a year as a Student Club member & fast-track your Privilege Club level when graduating.(等级升级：作为学生俱乐部会员每年至少乘坐一次航班，毕业时即可快速提升你的尊享俱乐部等级)”可知，快速升级特权需在毕业时生效，并非毕业前可享受，B项“Fast-upgrade your Privilege Club class before graduation.(在毕业前快速升级你的尊享俱乐部会员等级)”不在原文所列的专属福利内容范围内。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As a Visa student cardholder, you can gain exclusive benefits when you use your card to book a flight with us between 13 June and 31 October.(作为Visa学生卡持卡人，在6月13日至10月31日期间使用该卡预订我们的航班，即可享受专属福利)”以及全文围绕用Visa学生卡订票可享的各类折扣、权益、抽奖活动展开介绍可知，文章的核心目的是推广Visa学生卡预订航班的服务。 B For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks. If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself away from home and never face humanity again. Growing up with social media increased the pressure to be perfect. I’ve spent embarrassing amounts of screen time on Instagram, zooming into each of my posts to see if I looked cool, fun or pretty enough. My anxious thoughts took over my life. As I entered college, countless times I passed by an ad detailing an exciting event or job. However, I would grab these flyers only to let them gather dust. The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of scrutiny. Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze. I came to realize the extent to which my unfounded fear of judgment burdened me. If I’m reluctant to try new things, how can I experience my surroundings to their fullest? The spotlight effect is also a narrowing effect, limiting the vision you have of your possibilities because of social pressures. Then I met someone who didn’t care about what others thought of him. His decision to live for himself confused me. I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship. But eventually I took his advice-I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others’ attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors’ office hours and join new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: When have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself-no one truly cares. And the world didn’t explode and I’ve never once regretted being outside my comfort zone. I found myself applying for internships, making new friends and feeling less restrained by the self-imposed boundaries and more appreciative of my potential and abilities. I still hesitate before speaking up, have to give myself a pep talk before a group conversation. Changing your mindset and habits is probably one of the hardest things to do. But as the new year begins, I promise you all that it is never that deep. Just remember: Stop being too self-conscious and live for yourself. 41. According to the passage, the term “spotlight effect” can be best defined as ________. A. the tendency to judge others based on their intelligence and appearance B. the pressure to present a perfect self-image to capture public attention C. the limitation to one’s potential and abilities caused by fear of judgment D. the tendency to overestimate how much others notice and judge us 42. What does the underlined word “scrutiny” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. sharp criticism B. great uncertainty C. careful examination D. deep shame 43. What can we learn about the author from the passage? A. The author used to prioritize others’ needs and expectations in her relationships. B. The author believed that social media was the major cause of her social anxiety. C. The author has successfully overcome her anxiety caused by social pressures. D. The author thought she should have stepped outside her comfort zone earlier. 44. What is the main purpose of the author’s question about pronunciation mistakes in Paragraph 6? A. To encourage readers to help others improve their speaking skills. B. To show how harsh criticism can damage personal relationships. C. To challenge readers’ assumption that minor mistakes invite harsh judgment. D. To explain why speaking in public requires careful preparation. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. No One Truly Cares: Breaking Free from the Fear of Judgment B. The Spotlight Effect: Why We Imagine Others Are Watching Us C. Living for Myself: How I Learned to Stop Pleasing Others D. From Fear to Freedom: My Journey towards Acceptance by Others 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者长期受聚光灯效应困扰，过度在意他人评价，不敢尝试新事物。后来她转变心态，勇敢走出舒适区，领悟到不必过分敏感，要为自己而活。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself-how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks.(只要我记事以来，就一直非常在意自己——别人如何看待和评判我。如果你上过心理学课，可能会听说过“聚光灯效应”这个说法。多年来，我仿佛身处想象中的聚光灯下，不断担忧自己的智力和外貌是否被他人评价得当。)”以及第二段中“If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself away from home and never face humanity again.(如果我在课堂上说错了话，就会花好几天去回忆那一刻。脸上的一点瑕疵，就足以让我想把自己关在家里，再也不愿面对任何人。)”可推知，“聚光灯效应”一词可以最好地定义为过度高估他人注意到并评判我们程度的倾向。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of ….(缺乏主动性并非懒惰所致，而是害怕被……。)”以及第三段中“Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze.(没有熟悉的面孔，社团聚会对我来说就像一个随时可能让人难堪的机会。我知道自己将置身于陌生人之中，正处在他们目光的直接注视之下。)”可知，作者不敢参加社团活动是因为害怕身处陌生人的注视之下，担心自己出糗。scrutiny 本义为“仔细审视、细致观察”，与后文“directly under their gaze(直接处于他们的注视下)”对应，C选项careful examination“仔细检查”是其同义替换。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship.(我无法想象存在这样一个世界：我无需不断改变自己来迎合他人的期待，也无需在每一段关系中费尽心思讨好他人。)”可知，作者过去总会改变自己去迎合他人的期待，在每段关系中都努力满足别人，也就是将他人的需求和期待放在优先位置。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: when have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself-no one truly cares.(请放心，我仍然在与社会压力作斗争，问自己：“如果他们注意到我在说话时混淆了措辞怎么办？”对于那些可能产生这种想法的人，我想问你们：你们何曾因为一个简单的发音错误就把别人贬得一无是处？于是，我给自己树立了一个新的信条——没人真的在乎。)”可知，作者提出反问 “你们可曾因为一个简单的发音错误就把别人贬得一无是处？”是为了让读者意识到：我们自己并不会对他人的小失误斤斤计较，同理，自己的小错误也不会招致他人的严苛评判。这句话直接挑战了“小失误会引来他人严厉评判”的错误认知，引出后文“没人真的在意”的核心观点。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“过度在意他人评判的焦虑”展开，作者从深受聚光灯效应困扰，到逐步意识到“没人真的那么关注你”，最终摆脱恐惧、走出舒适区。“No One Truly Cares”是作者的核心感悟，“Breaking Free from the Fear of Judgment”是文章的核心主线，最适合作为标题。 C Smartphones have always posed challenges for parents of teens. From social media apps to excessive screen time, the digital world is as threatening as the physical. A new study shows that about half of parents of teens are worried about their teens being exposed to explicit content online. This is a valid concern, of course. But there are ways to alleviate (减轻) the spread of explicit content, from changing the settings in their kids’ phone to monitoring such content with apps like Bark. Just as alarming, if not more so, is that the amount of time teens spend on social media can lead to anxiety and depression. Excessive screen time has harmful effects, for a lot of obvious reasons. Constant media consumption inhibits healthy activities associated with childhood, like spending time outside, exercising, talking to friends and family. If it interferes with sleep, that’s even worse. Ample research shows too much smartphone use produces significant anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation in teens. Teens log on to social media or spend time online trying to make connections, but end up feeling more alone and sadder than ever. Faceless communication not only produces feelings of isolation and loneliness but increases instances of online bullying and susceptibility to criminal conducts. Though I’ve banned most social media, I’ve still battled smartphone time with my own kids. I wish I could throw my kids’ smartphones into the nearest lake. The convenience of communication — when they need a ride home from school after practice, for instance — often feels like it isn’t worth the battle to keep their screen time low and productive, and continue to encourage “real-life” activities outside and with friends and family. I understand the addiction and often tell them I’m not sure how I would have handled having a smartphone as a teen. As an adult, I too, struggle with overuse. In a recent TV interview to promote a new film about a mother and daughter navigating social media use, actress Kate Winslet expressed her view on teens and social media — and her concern mirrors the trends. “I do definitely feel that the world of social media is frightening to parents because we don’t really know what’s there,” she said. “We don’t know how our children are using it. We don’t know the effects that it’s really having on them.” I don’t think the US government should regulate social media and teen smartphone use, but it is a vital topic for parents to understand and take seriously. Unfortunately, now, parents don’t just have to worry about real-world dangers, but all the ones sneaking online and the effects they have on teenagers and their mental health. 46. What do around half of parents of teens do according to a new study? A. They set their kids’ phones to filter out bloody information. B. They try to alleviate the spread of explicit scenes on the internet. C. They feel concerned about their kids’ viewing indecent content online. D. They strive to prevent their kids from spending excessive screen time. 47. What does a large amount of research show about teens’ excessive smartphone use? A. It allows them less time for meaningful activities. B. It makes them more lonely and low-spirited. C. It gives them less time for social interactions. D. It makes them more alert to online bullying. 48. What do we learn about the author’s feelings regarding smartphones and screen time? A. They are deep-seated. B. They are inborn. C. They are unique. D. They are mixed. 49. What does actress Kate Winslet think about the world of social media? A. It poses increasing challenges to parents trying to ensure internet safety. B. It scares parents because they don’t really know what is on the screen. C. It is a sphere difficult for parents and their teens to navigate. D. It is full of uncertainties frightful to parents and their teens. 50. What message does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A. Parents have to be concerned about dangers to their teens in both real and virtual worlds. B. Governments have responsibilities in regulating social media and teens’ smartphone use. C. Parents should provide guidance to their teens in the use of social media. D. Online dangers are as serious as problems with teenagers’ mental health. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨青少年使用智能手机与社交媒体带来的各类隐患，以及家长面对网络风险的复杂处境。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A new study shows that about half of parents of teens are worried about their teens being exposed to explicit content online.(一项新研究表明，大约一半青少年的父母担心孩子在网上接触到露骨内容。)”可知，父母担心自己的孩子在网上浏览不良内容。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Ample research shows too much smartphone use produces significant anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation in teens. Teens log on to social media or spend time online trying to make connections, but end up feeling more alone and sadder than ever.(大量研究表明，过度使用智能手机会使青少年产生明显焦虑、抑郁以及孤独感。青少年登录社交媒体上网想要建立联系，结果却感到比以往更加孤单、低落。)”可知，大量研究针对青少年过度使用智能手机说明了这会让他们更加孤独、情绪低落。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Though I’ve banned most social media, I’ve still battled smartphone time with my own kids. I wish I could throw my kids’ smartphones into the nearest lake. The convenience of communication-when they need a ride home from school after practice, for instance-often feels like it isn’t worth the battle to keep their screen time low and productive(虽然我禁用了大部分社交媒体，但我仍要和孩子的手机使用时间作斗争。我真想把孩子们的手机扔进附近湖里。但手机沟通又很方便，比如训练后需要接他们放学回家)”可知，作者既看到手机危害想限制使用，又承认手机有便利之处，心情是复杂矛盾的。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中的““I do definitely feel that the world of social media is frightening to parents because we don’t really know what’s there,” she said. “We don’t know how our children are using it. We don’t know the effects that it’s really having on them.”(“我确实觉得社交媒体世界让家长害怕，因为我们并不真正知道上面有什么，”她说，“我们不知道孩子如何使用它，不知道它对孩子真实的影响。”)”可知，演员凯特・温斯莱特认为社交媒体让家长感到惶恐，因为他们并不真正知晓屏幕上的内容是什么。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately, now, parents don’t just have to worry about real-world dangers, but all the ones sneaking online and the effects they have on teenagers and their mental health.(不幸的是，现在家长不仅需要担心现实世界的危险，还要提防潜藏在网络上的所有风险，以及它们对青少年心理健康造成的影响。)”可知，作者想表达，家长需要同时关注现实世界和虚拟世界中青少年面临的危险。 D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 51. What can be inferred about “Clock time” from Paragraph 2? A. It is a physical reality. B. It dictates how life progresses. C. It has no independent existence. D. It is identical to money. 52. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 53. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 5? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 54. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 55. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 【答案】51. C 52. C 53. B 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍时钟时间只是人类创造的工具，并非客观实体。人们存在“时间饥荒”，主观时间感受各不相同。作者提出“体验时间”，呼吁不要被时钟支配，专注当下，摆脱时间饥荒。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own.(然而一种新兴科学观点认为，这种“时钟时间”并非物理现象。它是用于协调人际活动的数学工具，本身没有独立的实体存在)”可知，时钟时间没有独立的存在形式。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have.(心理学家发现了 “时间饥荒” 现象的出现：我们越是努力追求高效多产，就越是精准地计量时间，越是试图在繁忙日程里塞进更多事情，主观感受到的时间就越少)”可知，把每一分钟都规划好的经理总感觉赶不上进度，最能体现时间饥荒。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether.(时间在其他方面也很令人困惑。我们没有感知时间的感官器官，也没有专门追踪时间的大脑区域。我们对时间的体验可能差异巨大：无聊时分钟拖沓；兴奋时小时飞逝。在某些情况下，我们的时间感甚至会循环、破碎或完全停止)”以及随后以Lara为例说明运动盲症患者的异常时间感知可知，本段主要分析时间感知这一现象的多种表现，最后作者指出“Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. (这些影响不仅仅是错误，而是反映了更深层次的东西：我们在创造自己的时间中所扮演的角色)”可知，作者通过举例推翻了大众原本认为“时间客观恒定”的固有看法，重塑了人们对时间本质的认知。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change.(当我们摆脱宇宙时钟的束缚，剩下的就是“体验时间”：我们个人对变化灵活的感受)”以及第七段“Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds.(体验时间不同于时钟时间，它不是由把时刻切割成秒的数字计数器定义)”可知，体验时间依靠感受展开，而非数字计算。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段“To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present.(想要解决时间饥荒，要记住时钟只是工具而非主宰。和时钟时间相反，我们越专注当下，体验时间就越丰盈)”可知，作者想告诉我们：对待时间重在投入当下，而不是一味顺从时钟。 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 注意事项：用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能使用修改液。 第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A lot of people are scared of spiders and consider their webs to be dirt. But, growing up in Argentina and Italy, I remember seeing webs in the corners of my house, and thinking they were gorgeous. Today I create works of art using these beautiful structures. In my studio, I have a collection of spider webs and hundreds of different spiders. I spend a lot of time experimenting with them. I put a spider in a box and observe how it goes about constructing its web. I sometimes turn the box on its side to see how the spider reacts. Sometimes I put another spider in the box to see how it works with the structure the last one left in place. It may ignore that web and start again from scratch (从头开始) or begin adding to it. I worked on digitizing webs. Though I see myself as an artist, I actually trained as an architect and the idea is to compare the properties of spider webs with those of architectural structures to see if there are any similarities. Of the thousands of species around the world, the one that interests me the most is the Stegodyphus dumicola. In groups, they make thousands of single threads, which are then entangled (缠) into a giant web that can lift the spiders straight up and transport them away. It is known as “ballooning”. During the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, for example, I exhibited the vast “aerocene” globes based on it. They aren’t sculptures but rather air-filled bubbles that might one day float around the world, powered only by wind and the heat of the sun. I use them to challenge popular ideas about energy use and transportation. My ambition is to take my work with spiders to the International Space Station, to conduct live experiments to see how they might behave and how they would build webs in a new environment without gravity. I am speaking to NASA about it. I hope to turn them into spidernauts. 56. Why does the author create works of art with spider webs? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________ 57. What is the main idea of Para. 2? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________ 58.

Today I create works of art using these beautiful structures.( 但我在阿根廷和意大利长大时，记得自己在房子的角落看到蜘蛛网，觉得它们非常美丽。如今，我用这些精美的结构创作艺术作品。)”可知，作者创作带有蜘蛛网的艺术作品是因为作者觉得蜘蛛网很美。 【57题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第二段“In my studio, I have a collection of spider webs and hundreds of different spiders. I spend a lot of time experimenting with them. I put a spider in a box and observe how it goes about constructing its web. I sometimes turn the box on its side to see how the spider reacts. Sometimes I put another spider in the box to see how it works with the structure the last one left in place. It may ignore that web and start again from scratch (从头开始) or begin adding to it.( 在我的工作室里，收藏着各种蜘蛛网以及数百种不同的蜘蛛。我花了很多时间进行实验：把一只蜘蛛放进盒子，观察它如何建造自己的网；有时我会将盒子翻转过来，看看蜘蛛会怎样反应；有时候还会再放一只蜘蛛进盒子，观察它如何与前一只留下的结构互动——它可能会忽略那张网，从头开始重建，也可能直接在上面继续添加。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是作者用蜘蛛进行实验。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段划线单词句中“Though I see myself as an artist, I actually trained as an architect and the idea is to compare the properties of spider webs with those of architectural structures to see if there are any similarities.( 虽然我自认是一名艺术家，但实际上我接受的是建筑学训练，我的想法是通过比较蜘蛛网与建筑结构的properties，寻找其中的相似之处。)”可知，划线单词properties在此处是科技语境中的常用义，意为“特性、属性、特征”，而非 “财产”。这句话的意思是“对比蜘蛛网和建筑结构的特性，寻找二者的相似之处”，因此用1个单词 Features（特征、特性）替换最准确。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“They aren’t sculptures but rather air-filled bubbles that might one day float around the world, powered only by wind and the heat of the sun. I use them to challenge popular ideas about energy use and transportation.(它们并非雕塑，而是充满空气的气泡，未来或许能依靠风力和太阳热量在世界各地漂浮。我用这些装置来挑战人们对能源使用和交通运输的普遍观念。)”可知，“aerocene”球体的创作目的是挑战人们对能源使用和交通方式的传统观念。 【60题详解】 考查主观评价。根据文章大意以及最后一段“My ambition is to take my work with spiders to the International Space Station, to conduct live experiments to see how they might behave and how they would build webs in a new environment without gravity. I am speaking to NASA about it. I hope to turn them into spidernauts.( 我的目标是把蜘蛛相关的研究带到国际空间站，进行现场实验，观察它们在无重力的新环境中会如何行动以及如何织造蛛网。目前我正与美国国家航空航天局（NASA）就此展开沟通。我希望将它们变成“蜘蛛宇航员”。)”可知，这个故事给我带来的启发是：我们可以从大自然中汲取创意灵感，并勇于探索新的领域。 第二节、书面表达（共1小题；共25分） 61. 假设你是晨光国际中学的学生李津，你的美国朋友Chris是本校留学生，他曾在手工制作比赛中获奖。你校为倡导环保理念、增强学生动手能力，将于下周举办以“旧物新生（Old Items, New Life）”为主题的手工制作大赛。你打算邀请他与你组队参赛，请根据以下要点给他写一封电子邮件： （1）发出邀请； （2）介绍此次活动的意义并描述你的创意设想； （3）征求对方意见，表达对他加入的期待。 注意： 1．词数不少于100； 2．可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Chris, How is everything going? I’m writing to invite you to team up with me for a handicraft competition to be held in our school next week. Since you once won a handicraft award, your skills will benefit our team a lot.

B For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks. If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself away from home and never face humanity again. Growing up with social media increased the pressure to be perfect. I’ve spent embarrassing amounts of screen time on Instagram, zooming into each of my posts to see if I looked cool, fun or pretty enough. My anxious thoughts took over my life. As I entered college, countless times I passed by an ad detailing an exciting event or job. However, I would grab these flyers only to let them gather dust. The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of scrutiny. Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze. I came to realize the extent to which my unfounded fear of judgment burdened me. If I’m reluctant to try new things, how can I experience my surroundings to their fullest? The spotlight effect is also a narrowing effect, limiting the vision you have of your possibilities because of social pressures. Then I met someone who didn’t care about what others thought of him. His decision to live for himself confused me. I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship. But eventually I took his advice-I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others’ attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors’ office hours and join new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: When have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself-no one truly cares. And the world didn’t explode and I’ve never once regretted being outside my comfort zone. I found myself applying for internships, making new friends and feeling less restrained by the self-imposed boundaries and more appreciative of my potential and abilities. I still hesitate before speaking up, have to give myself a pep talk before a group conversation. Changing your mindset and habits is probably one of the hardest things to do. But as the new year begins, I promise you all that it is never that deep. Just remember: Stop being too self-conscious and live for yourself. 41. According to the passage, the term “spotlight effect” can be best defined as ________. A. the tendency to judge others based on their intelligence and appearance B. the pressure to present a perfect self-image to capture public attention C. the limitation to one’s potential and abilities caused by fear of judgment D. the tendency to overestimate how much others notice and judge us 42. What does the underlined word “scrutiny” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. sharp criticism B. great uncertainty C. careful examination D. deep shame 43. What can we learn about the author from the passage? A. The author used to prioritize others’ needs and expectations in her relationships. B. The author believed that social media was the major cause of her social anxiety. C. The author has successfully overcome her anxiety caused by social pressures. D. The author thought she should have stepped outside her comfort zone earlier. 44. What is the main purpose of the author’s question about pronunciation mistakes in Paragraph 6? A. To encourage readers to help others improve their speaking skills. B. To show how harsh criticism can damage personal relationships. C. To challenge readers’ assumption that minor mistakes invite harsh judgment. D. To explain why speaking in public requires careful preparation. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. No One Truly Cares: Breaking Free from the Fear of Judgment B. The Spotlight Effect: Why We Imagine Others Are Watching Us C. Living for Myself: How I Learned to Stop Pleasing Others D. From Fear to Freedom: My Journey towards Acceptance by Others C Smartphones have always posed challenges for parents of teens. From social media apps to excessive screen time, the digital world is as threatening as the physical. A new study shows that about half of parents of teens are worried about their teens being exposed to explicit content online. This is a valid concern, of course. But there are ways to alleviate (减轻) the spread of explicit content, from changing the settings in their kids’ phone to monitoring such content with apps like Bark. Just as alarming, if not more so, is that the amount of time teens spend on social media can lead to anxiety and depression. Excessive screen time has harmful effects, for a lot of obvious reasons. Constant media consumption inhibits healthy activities associated with childhood, like spending time outside, exercising, talking to friends and family. If it interferes with sleep, that’s even worse. Ample research shows too much smartphone use produces significant anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation in teens. Teens log on to social media or spend time online trying to make connections, but end up feeling more alone and sadder than ever. Faceless communication not only produces feelings of isolation and loneliness but increases instances of online bullying and susceptibility to criminal conducts. Though I’ve banned most social media, I’ve still battled smartphone time with my own kids. I wish I could throw my kids’ smartphones into the nearest lake. The convenience of communication — when they need a ride home from school after practice, for instance — often feels like it isn’t worth the battle to keep their screen time low and productive, and continue to encourage “real-life” activities outside and with friends and family. I understand the addiction and often tell them I’m not sure how I would have handled having a smartphone as a teen. As an adult, I too, struggle with overuse. In a recent TV interview to promote a new film about a mother and daughter navigating social media use, actress Kate Winslet expressed her view on teens and social media — and her concern mirrors the trends. “I do definitely feel that the world of social media is frightening to parents because we don’t really know what’s there,” she said. “We don’t know how our children are using it. We don’t know the effects that it’s really having on them.” I don’t think the US government should regulate social media and teen smartphone use, but it is a vital topic for parents to understand and take seriously. Unfortunately, now, parents don’t just have to worry about real-world dangers, but all the ones sneaking online and the effects they have on teenagers and their mental health. 46. What do around half of parents of teens do according to a new study? A. They set their kids’ phones to filter out bloody information. B. They try to alleviate the spread of explicit scenes on the internet. C. They feel concerned about their kids’ viewing indecent content online. D. They strive to prevent their kids from spending excessive screen time. 47. What does a large amount of research show about teens’ excessive smartphone use? A. It allows them less time for meaningful activities. B. It makes them more lonely and low-spirited. C. It gives them less time for social interactions. D. It makes them more alert to online bullying. 48. What do we learn about the author’s feelings regarding smartphones and screen time? A. They are deep-seated. B. They are inborn. C. They are unique. D. They are mixed. 49. What does actress Kate Winslet think about the world of social media? A. It poses increasing challenges to parents trying to ensure internet safety. B. It scares parents because they don’t really know what is on the screen. C. It is a sphere difficult for parents and their teens to navigate. D. It is full of uncertainties frightful to parents and their teens. 50. What message does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A. Parents have to be concerned about dangers to their teens in both real and virtual worlds. B. Governments have responsibilities in regulating social media and teens’ smartphone use. C. Parents should provide guidance to their teens in the use of social media. D. Online dangers are as serious as problems with teenagers’ mental health. D When was the last time you raced against an unforgiving clock? Perhaps you skipped breakfast, shelled out for a taxi or missed time with your family. Many of us have become slaves to time, with huge portions of our day spent chasing appointments and deadlines. But what is this thing we’re trying to beat? We tend to imagine time as constant and non-negotiable, ticking by somewhere out in the world, impossible to slow or stop. Yet an emerging scientific picture is that such “clock time” isn’t a physical phenomenon. It’s a mathematical tool useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own. As with other key innovations, such as money, we can no longer get by without it. But disproving the myth of the clock can help us to focus on how life really progresses. Psychologists have identified the rise of “time famine”, where the more efficient and productive we try to be, the more precisely we measure time, and the more we try to pack into our busy schedules, the less time we actually feel we have. This has a big impact on quality of life: people experiencing time famine are less likely to do things they enjoy, or help each other. Time is puzzling in other ways, too. We have no sensory organs for detecting it, nor any dedicated brain areas for tracking it. Our experience of time can vary hugely: minutes drag if we’re bored; hours race if we’re excited. And in certain circumstances, our sense of time can even go in circles, break apart or stop altogether. Take Lara, who suffers from a condition called motion blindness. When she pours tea, the liquid appears as a frozen column in the air, before suddenly overflowing the cup. Rather than being mere mistakes, these effects reflect something deeper: the role we all play in creating our own time. Because even scientists don’t find any moving river of time: most believe there’s no physical flow of events beyond our perception, no moment of “happening” or “becoming” in which the future slips into the past. Time, then, is less a universal truth than a feature of how we interact with the world. What we’re left with, when we release ourselves from the cosmic clock, is “lived time”: our personal, flexible experience of change. This gives us a different way of thinking about how our lives progress, probably releasing us from the constant beat of the clock. Lived time is different from clock time because it isn’t defined by a numerical counter chopping moments into seconds. It’s a creative process that’s vital not just for our sense of time but of who we are. To tackle time famine, remind yourself that the clock is a tool, not a master. In contrast to clock time, lived time expands and grows richer the more we focus on being present. Instead of something we chase and never catch, it’s a flow that connects us with each other. 51. What can be inferred about “Clock time” from Paragraph 2? A. It is a physical reality. B. It dictates how life progresses. C. It has no independent existence. D. It is identical to money. 52. Which situation best illustrates “time famine”? A. A busy mother has no time to help her neighbors. B. An artist spends hours painting without noticing time. C. A manager who plans every minute always feels behind. D. A professional with a packed schedule feels productive. 53. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 5? A. Challenge a theory. B. Reshape a perspective. C. Present an assumption. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 54. What can be inferred about “lived time” from the passage? A. It unfolds through experience not calculation. B. It replaces clock time in our daily schedules. C. More time measurement enriches lived time. D. It is too flexible to be planned or structured. 55. What does the author intend to tell us about time? A. How fast time flows depends on emotion. B. Time is a universal truth independent of us. C. Time demands engagement over obedience. D. Working more efficiently solves time famine. 第Ⅱ卷（共35分） 注意事项：用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能使用修改液。 第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A lot of people are scared of spiders and consider their webs to be dirt. But, growing up in Argentina and Italy, I remember seeing webs in the corners of my house, and thinking they were gorgeous. Today I create works of art using these beautiful structures. In my studio, I have a collection of spider webs and hundreds of different spiders. I spend a lot of time experimenting with them. I put a spider in a box and observe how it goes about constructing its web. I sometimes turn the box on its side to see how the spider reacts. Sometimes I put another spider in the box to see how it works with the structure the last one left in place. It may ignore that web and start again from scratch (从头开始) or begin adding to it. I worked on digitizing webs. Though I see myself as an artist, I actually trained as an architect and the idea is to compare the properties of spider webs with those of architectural structures to see if there are any similarities. Of the thousands of species around the world, the one that interests me the most is the Stegodyphus dumicola. In groups, they make thousands of single threads, which are then entangled (缠) into a giant web that can lift the spiders straight up and transport them away. It is known as “ballooning”. During the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, for example, I exhibited the vast “aerocene” globes based on it. They aren’t sculptures but rather air-filled bubbles that might one day float around the world, powered only by wind and the heat of the sun. I use them to challenge popular ideas about energy use and transportation. My ambition is to take my work with spiders to the International Space Station, to conduct live experiments to see how they might behave and how they would build webs in a new environment without gravity. I am speaking to NASA about it. I hope to turn them into spidernauts. 56. Why does the author create works of art with spider webs?
