Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to, a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time. The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
36. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
37. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3.
C. In Paragraph 4. D. In Paragraph 5.
38. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
39. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The decline of reading among teenagers and its causes.
B. Strategies for parents to encourage their children to read more.
C. The impact of technology on children’s reading habits.
D. A report revealing reading habits of children and teenagers.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。《常识媒体》的报告显示,孩子快乐阅读的情况大大减少。作者从阅读乐趣、阅读时间、阅读方式和父母对孩子阅读的影响等角度介绍了报告的内容,同时报告指出,家长的榜样示范对儿童阅读习惯的培养作用非凡。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to, a Common Sense Media report published Monday.(周一发布的一份《常识媒体》报告显示,青少年和年龄更小的孩子为了娱乐而阅读的时间大大减少了)”和第二段中“some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading(报告中的一些数据显示,阅读仍然是许多孩子生活的重要组成部分,并指出父母应该如何帮助鼓励更多的阅读)” 可知,报告中的一些数据显示阅读仍然占据了孩子们生活中的大部分时间,所以该报告有可能是关于孩子阅读习惯的。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”(根据该报告的主要发现,“认为自己‘很少’为了乐趣而阅读的比例已经从1984年13岁的8%和17岁的9%分别上升到现在的22%和27%。”)”可知,第三段用数据来支持第一段提出的观点“孩子们阅读的乐趣越来越少了”。故选B。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.(它确实指出,许多父母仍然限制电子阅读,主要是由于担心屏幕时间增加)”可知,许多家长限制电子阅读是因屏幕时间增加可能会伤害孩子的健康。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading.(报告中分享的最有希望的数据显示,有明确的证据表明,在阅读方面,父母可以为孩子提供榜样和重要的指导)”可知,父母可以通过榜样示范来鼓励孩子阅读。故选A。
【40题详解】

C
According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally.
Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken.
Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides (杀虫剂), and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators.
Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival.
Climate change also changes the timing and availability of lowering plants, leading to mismatches between pollinators and their food sources. A study has found that climate change has shifted plants’ blooming to earlier times and caused certain plants to move to higher areas, resulting in a decline in pollination.
Another study has found that climate change could lead to a decline in the quality of nectar, which is the main food source for many pollinators. As temperatures rise, the sugar content of nectar decreases, making it less nutritious for pollinators. This leads to a decline in the health and reproductive success of pollinators, as well as a decline in the pollination of plants.
Needless to say, cutting global emissions (排放量) is key. It’s essential that we continue to advocate for emission reductions. From country-level to individual businesses, more concrete roadmaps to net zero are a must.
We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole.
41. What does paragraph 1 try to show?
A. The influence of crop crises. B. The importance of pollinators.
C. The serious challenges faced by humans. D. The increasing difficulty of crop production.
42. How does the author sound in paragraph 2?
A. Curious. B. Suspicious. C. Humorous. D. Anxious.
43. What do paragraphs 3 — 4 mainly talk about?
A. Why chemical pesticides are harmful to pollinators. B. Causes of the decline in pollinator populations.
C. The importance of pollinators to the ecosystem. D. How climate change has affected pollinators.
44. What have the two studies found?
A. Climate change greatly affects pollination.
B. Pollution seriously threatens pollinators survival.
C. Global warming contributes to the loss of pollinators’ habitats.
D. Improper farming practices cause some pollinators to disappear.
45. What is a suggestion for helping pollinators?
A. Starting keeping bees. B. Reducing pesticide use.
C. Increasing the amount of nectar. D. Building more habitats for pollinators.
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化和农药使用对传粉媒介(如蜜蜂和蝴蝶)数量的影响,以及这些影响如何威胁到全球的粮食供应和价格。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally.(据报道,世界上四分之三的作物依赖于蜜蜂和蝴蝶等授粉昆虫。通过授粉,传粉者使种子得以产生。没有它们,农作物种植就会变得极其困难或成本高昂,威胁到全球的粮食供应和价格)”可知,第一段想要展示的是传粉者的重要性。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken.(研究表明,传粉者的数量正在迅速而持续地下降。自1991年以来,蝴蝶的平均数量几乎减少了一半,蜜蜂的数量尤其面临急剧下降。考虑到世界对这些昆虫的日益依赖,如果不采取行动,我们只能预计问题会恶化)”可知,作者对于传粉者减少这一趋势表示担忧。故选D。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides (杀虫剂), and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators.(关于集约化耕作、化学农药的使用和污染如何威胁到这些有益昆虫的生存,已经写了很多文章。雪上加霜的是,全球变暖严重加剧了传粉者的迅速消失)”和第四段“Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival.(气候变化是传粉者面临的主要威胁,气温上升以及极端天气事件的频率和强度增加,影响了传粉者赖以生存的食物来源和栖息地)”可知,3-4段主要介绍了传粉者数量下降的原因。故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“A study has found that climate change has shifted plants’ blooming to earlier times and caused certain plants to move to higher areas, resulting in a decline in pollination.(一项研究发现,气候变化使植物的开花时间提前,并导致某些植物向更高的地区迁移,导致授粉减少)”和第六段“Another study has found that climate change could lead to a decline in the quality of nectar, which is the main food source for many pollinators.(另一项研究发现,气候变化可能导致花蜜质量下降,而花蜜是许多传粉昆虫的主要食物来源)”可知,这两项研究发现了气候变化极大地影响了授粉。故选A。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole.(我们必须至少尽量减少农药的使用,因为这些化学品对传粉者有害,并可能对整个传粉过程产生深远的影响)”可知,帮助传粉者的建议包括减少农药的使用。故选B。

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be devouring. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire, I want to go to university,” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66, I enrolled in a program with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway which helped mature students prepare for university.
Next, I enrolled in a BA majoring in English. Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there but that didn’t put me off in the slightest. My biggest challenge wasn’t the course work; it was the technology. My grandchildren constantly sent me encouraging messages saying, “We’re so proud of you, Granny” or asking how I was doing.
At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. Wearing my black robe and hat, I marched in to Johnny Farnham’s The Voice. I’ll never forget that feeling, waiting in the wings backstage for the Dean to call my name.“This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed my degree. I couldn’t agree more.
46. Why couldn’t the author go to high school? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
47. What is the meaning of the underlined word “with flying colours” in the last paragraph? (No more than 1 word)
______________________________________________________________________________________
48. How did the author manage to study more when moving to the outback in Western Queensland? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
49. What program did the author enroll in at the University of the Sunshine Coast? (no more than15 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
50. What can you learn from the passage? (No more than 20 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. Because her family didn’t have money for uniforms, school shoes or books./Because her family was poor.
47. Successfully.
48. By teaching her three kids during their primary school years.
49. She enrolled in the Tertiary Preparation Pathway helping mature students prepare for university.
50. (Open) We should keep up with our dream and try to make it one day. /The author faced challenges, including poverty and lack of education, but she never gave up on her dream.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因家境贫困未能上高中,但一直怀有学习梦想,最终在66岁时进入大学并获得学位的励志故事。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段““There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.” (“不会有高中,”她说。“我们没钱买校服、鞋或书。”)”可知,作者不能上高中是因为他们没钱买校服,鞋或书,即他们很穷。故答案为:Because her family didn’t have money for uniforms, school shoes or books. /Because her family was poor.
【47题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线单词的下文“and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. (当我被邀请毕业时,我哭了。我简直不敢相信我做到了。)”以及““This is a wonderful achievement,” he told me as he handed my degree. (“这是一项了不起的成就,”他在递给我学位证书时对我说。)”可知,我被邀请毕业,并得到了校长的认可,由此推断我成功通过考试,因此划线单词的含义是“成功地”。故答案为:Successfully.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me. (我在孩子们上小学的那几年里教他们,这多少满足了我一点教学的愿望,但我渴望继续学习的热情从未减退。)”可知,当作者搬到西昆士兰的内陆时,因为需要教三个上小学的孩子,所以自己通过多学习来教孩子学习。故答案为:By teaching her three kids during their primary school years.
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段“At the age of 66, I enrolled in a program with the University of the Sunshine Coast called the Tertiary Preparation Pathway which helped mature students prepare for university. (66岁那年,我报名参加了阳光海岸大学的“高等教育准备课程”项目,该项目旨在帮助成熟学生为进入大学做好准备。)”可知,作者在阳光海岸大学报考了高等教育预备课程,这个项目可以帮助成熟的学生为大学做准备。故答案为:She enrolled in the Tertiary Preparation Pathway helping mature students prepare for university.
【50题详解】
开放题。根据第三段““There will be no high school,” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.” (“不会有高中,”她说。“我们没钱买校服、鞋或书。”)”及最后一段“At last, I passed all my subjects with flying colours and when I was invited to graduate, I cried. I couldn’t believe I’d done it. (最后,我以优异的成绩通过了所有科目,当我被邀请毕业时,我哭了。我简直不敢相信我做到了。)”可知,作者小时候因为贫穷而不能继续求学,但自己并未放弃,而是持续学习,最终大学成功毕业的故事。这个故事教会了我们,我们永远不要放弃梦想,要坚持梦想并为之努力,直至梦想成真。或虽然作者面临各种挑战,因为贫穷不能接受教育,但并未停止学习,从未放弃梦想。故答案为: (Open) We should keep up with our dream and try to make it one day. /The author faced challenges, including poverty and lack of education, but she never gave up on her dream.

Good luck with your videos!
Yours,

【答案】Dear Chris,
It’s exciting to hear about your video project introducing British life to Chinese students! For your next video, I recommend focusing on English holiday traditions, specifically Thanksgiving dinner customs. This topic is not only rich in cultural significance but also visually engaging, which would attract your audience.
The reason I chose this theme is that holidays are a window into a country and its value. Thanksgiving, in particular, highlights the importance of family, gratitude, and community in English culture. I’m most interested in how families gather to prepare and share a meal, the symbolic foods like turkey and pumpkin pie, and the tradition of expressing gratitude. These elements could help Chinese students understand the cultural uniqueness of British holidays and the emphasis on family bonds and appreciation.
Through this video, I hope we, Chinese students , can gain a deeper appreciation for the cultural diversity and values that shape British society. It could also spark curiosity about how different cultures celebrate and express gratitude in our own ways. Looking forward to seeing it!
Good luck with your videos!
Yours,
Li Jin

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to, a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time. The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
36. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
37. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In Paragraph 2. B. In Paragraph 3.
C. In Paragraph 4. D. In Paragraph 5.
38. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
39. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The decline of reading among teenagers and its causes.
B. Strategies for parents to encourage their children to read more.
C. The impact of technology on children’s reading habits.
D. A report revealing reading habits of children and teenagers.
C
According to reports, three-quarters of all crops around the world depend on pollinating (授粉的) insects like bees and butterflies. By pollinating, pollinators enable the production of seeds. Without them, crop farming can become extremely difficult or costly threatening food supplies and prices globally.
Research has shown a rapid and consistent decline in pollinator populations. Average butterfly populations have almost halved since 1991 and bee populations in particular face a sharp decline. Given the world’s growing dependence on these insects, we can only expect the problem to worsen if no action is taken.
Much has been written about how intensive farming practices the use of chemical pesticides (杀虫剂), and pollution are threatening the survival of these helpful insects. To add to the already critical situation, global warming is contributing significantly to the rapid disappearance of pollinators.
Climate change is a major threat to pollinators, with rising temperatures and increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events affecting the food sources and habitats, on which pollinators depend for their survival.
Climate change also changes the timing and availability of lowering plants, leading to mismatches between pollinators and their food sources. A study has found that climate change has shifted plants’ blooming to earlier times and caused certain plants to move to higher areas, resulting in a decline in pollination.
Another study has found that climate change could lead to a decline in the quality of nectar, which is the main food source for many pollinators. As temperatures rise, the sugar content of nectar decreases, making it less nutritious for pollinators. This leads to a decline in the health and reproductive success of pollinators, as well as a decline in the pollination of plants.
Needless to say, cutting global emissions (排放量) is key. It’s essential that we continue to advocate for emission reductions. From country-level to individual businesses, more concrete roadmaps to net zero are a must.
We must at least minimize, if not prevent, the usage of pesticides, since these chemicals are harmful to pollinators and can have a far-reaching effect on pollination as a whole.
41. What does paragraph 1 try to show?
A. The influence of crop crises. B. The importance of pollinators.
C. The serious challenges faced by humans. D. The increasing difficulty of crop production.
42. How does the author sound in paragraph 2?
A. Curious. B. Suspicious. C. Humorous. D. Anxious.
43. What do paragraphs 3 — 4 mainly talk about?
A. Why chemical pesticides are harmful to pollinators. B. Causes of the decline in pollinator populations.
C. The importance of pollinators to the ecosystem. D. How climate change has affected pollinators.
44. What have the two studies found?
A. Climate change greatly affects pollination.
B. Pollution seriously threatens pollinators survival.
C. Global warming contributes to the loss of pollinators’ habitats.
D. Improper farming practices cause some pollinators to disappear.
45. What is a suggestion for helping pollinators?
A. Starting keeping bees. B. Reducing pesticide use.
C. Increasing the amount of nectar. D. Building more habitats for pollinators.
