Here are some introductions of popular clubs. Speech Club Do you enjoy talking? Do you think you can be a future lawyer? Try out for the school’s speech team. Not only will you meet people and make new friends, you’ll also get to practice public speaking, a valuable, important tool that you will use at every stage of your life. By researching, talking about, and debating hot-button political, social, cultural, and environment topics, you will also become more aware and up-to-date on current events. Band Club Are you in a band in junior high? If so, you probably remember always hanging around with your musical buddies (同伴). If you haven’t joined one of these three high school clubs yet, you should! The beauty of these three classes is that they’re not merely fine arts electives (选修课), they’re also clubs! Most high school bands give shows, and even go on trips to Disneyland. Not sure? Did I mention that studies show that students with music education tend to receive higher grades? You read it right. Red Cross Club If you are interested in the medical field or planning to take a combined M.D. program, perhaps you should consider joining your school’s American Red Cross Club. As part of the high school club working with the local Red Cross chapter, you can become a lifeguard, learn how to perform CPR, or become a trained instructor who teaches others. Language Clubs Are you a native Spanish, French, or German speaker? Or maybe you just really like the foreign language class! Either way, you should consider joining your school’s language clubs and learn a new language during your pastime. Spanish, French and German clubs put on several charity and cultural events throughout the academic (学术) year. You could be helping others in need, and making new friends all at the same time! 1. What would be the best choice if you dream of becoming a lawyer? A. Speech Club. B. Band Club. C. Red Cross Club. D. Language Clubs. 2. What is the benefit of joining Band Club? A. It improves students’ grades. B. It makes students’ speaking ability better. C. It enables students to be aware of new events. D. It helps students to learn how to use medical facilities. 3. What do Red Cross Club and Language Clubs have in common? A. They both can make new friends. B. They allow you to support people in need. C. They make you a man of many gifts and languages. D. They can help you to be a person with first aid knowledge. B Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols (黄烷醇), compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate. While some short-term studies, frequently funded by chocolate companies, suggested potential advantages, their results have been inconsistent. More importantly, they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption. Observational studies, which simply note correlations (相关性), found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier. But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles, not because of the chocolate itself. To settle the debate, a big randomized experiment was conducted. It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were clear: the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. There was one positive note — a reduction in cardiovascular (心血管的) deaths — but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit. Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar. It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat, which is known to raise cholesterol (胆固醇) and harm heart health. A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts, strawberries, or green tea. Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine, relying on it as a health food is misguided. True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and beans—not from a single, sugary treat. 4. What is a common belief about dark chocolate? A. It has inconsistent benefits. B. Its benefits come at a high cost. C. It contributes to physical health. D. Its advantages rely on long-term intake. 5. What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate? A. Faster fat burning. B. Resistance to cholesterol. C. Reduction of cancer risks. D. Increase in sugar consumption. 6. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean? A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 9. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 10. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. D Goldman Sachs estimates there were over 80 million social media influencers globally in 2024, spanning platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with the number growing 10% - 20% annually. While some perceive influencing as a pastime, others pursue it full time, drawn by stories of influencers making tens of thousands of dollars per post or launching their own brands. Morning Consult reports that 57% of American Gen Zers dream of becoming influencers, with 53% referring to it as a “respectable career”. For companies, the appeal of influencer marketing (营销) lies in its capability to target specific audiences through content creators, alongside consumers’ rising social media engagement. Influencer Marketing Hub notes 86% of brands globally plan to invest in influencer campaigns in 2025, up from 37% in 2017, with nearly a quarter committing over 40% of their marketing budgets to such efforts. However, the influencer boom presents challenges. Goldman Sachs reveals only 4% of influencers earn over $100,000 annually. AI-generated “virtual influencers” like Aitana López - a computer-designed fitness expert with 330,000 Instagram followers - threaten to flood feeds (信息流) further. While small creators with modest (不算多的) followings may earn side income, few can quit their regular jobs. Market overcrowding also makes online fame unstable. Joe Gagliese of Viral Nation warns that even viral moments don’t guarantee lasting success: “If influencers don't take advantage of the momentum (势头), someone else will.” Consumer exhaustion adds another hurdle. A 2023 McKinsey survey found 68% of global fashion consumers were critical about the massive amount of sponsored content. Anita Balchandani of McKinsey notes influencers initially gained attention as “trusted” voices, but maintaining veracity alongside paid promotions is now crucial. Seeking this balance is key to staying relevant in an overcrowded market. Ultimately, while the appeal of influencer careers remains, the reality is tough: as the industry grows, so does the gap between the fascinating dream and real sustainability. 12. What makes many Gen Zers keen to enter the field of influencing? A. The potential to be wealthy or start their own businesses. B. The opportunity to secure regular corporate jobs. C. The guarantee of immediate success and popularity. D. The rocketing popularity of social media platforms. 13. Which of the following is NOT a factor discouraging social media influencers? A. Low earnings. B. Companies' preference for AI. C. Intense competition. D. Displeased audiences. 14. What does the underlined word “veracity” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Popularity. B. Confidence. C. Honesty. D. Competence. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Influencers and Their Impact on Social Media B. Opportunities and Challenges within the Influencer Economy C. Gen Zers' Enthusiasm for Entering Sooial Media Influencing D. Brands' Climbing Marketing Budgets for Influencer Campaigns 第二节 (共5节；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Starting Your Own Travel Blog Travel stories always make for very interesting reads.

I waited at the bus stop, holding my school bag tightly. The rain beat hard against the umbrella in my hand. I had stayed late for the group project and missed my usual bus. A strong wind suddenly blew. My umbrella turned inside out. Rain poured over me at once. My books and uniform got wet quickly. I felt upset and helpless. There were few people around. Most drivers passed by without stopping. Just as I was about to walk home in the heavy rain, a car slowed down beside me. The window rolled down. It was Mrs. Smith, my new neighbour. She smiled and asked where I lived. I told her my address. She invited me to get into her car. I hesitated. I hardly knew her. But the rain was getting worse. I thanked her and climbed into the warm car. She gave me a clean towel (毛巾) to dry my hair. On the way, we talked about school. She told me she once got stuck in the rain years ago, and a stranger helped her out. Soon we arrived at my building. I wanted to pay her some money for the ride, but she refused. “Pass on the kindness when you can,” she said softly. I nodded and got out of the car, watching her drive away. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Standing at the door, I held the wet towel in my hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Months later, I met a little girl caught in the rain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年度高二英语第一学期月考考试卷 (满分150分，考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。 1.

More importantly, they are too brief to reveal the long-term effects of regular consumption. Observational studies, which simply note correlations (相关性), found that people who eat more dark chocolate tend to be healthier. But this could be because they often have higher incomes and better overall lifestyles, not because of the chocolate itself. To settle the debate, a big randomized experiment was conducted. It involved older adults who took daily cocoa-flavanol supplements for several years. The findings were clear: the flavanols made no significant difference to the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. There was one positive note — a reduction in cardiovascular (心血管的) deaths — but this single outcome is not solid proof of benefit. Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar. It means a person would also consume a substantial portion of the daily recommended limit of fat, which is known to raise cholesterol (胆固醇) and harm heart health. A far healthier way to get flavanols is from foods like apples, nuts, strawberries, or green tea. Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. While enjoying it as an occasional treat is fine, relying on it as a health food is misguided. True wellness comes from a balanced diet rich in various fruits, vegetables, and beans—not from a single, sugary treat. 4. What is a common belief about dark chocolate? A. It has inconsistent benefits. B. Its benefits come at a high cost. C. It contributes to physical health. D. Its advantages rely on long-term intake. 5. What is a result of taking in flavanols from dark chocolate? A. Faster fat burning. B. Resistance to cholesterol. C. Reduction of cancer risks. D. Increase in sugar consumption. 6. What does the underlined word “robust” in the last paragraph mean? A. Basic. B. Solid. C. Advanced. D. Emerging. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate B. A Guide to Choosing Healthy Chocolate C. The Impact of Flavanols on Your Health D. Marketing vs. Science in the Food Industry 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了黑巧克力被广泛认为的健康益处，指出这些益处更多基于营销和一厢情愿的想法，而非坚实的科学依据。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower.(黑巧克力，主要是固体可可，被广泛认为是一种更健康的零食，人们认为它有降低血压和提高智力的好处)”可知，关于黑巧克力，人们普遍认为它有助于身体健康。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Crucially, obtaining a high share of flavanols from commercial dark chocolate introduces serious disadvantages. To counter cocoa’s bitterness, manufacturers add large amounts of sugar.(至关重要的是，从商业黑巧克力中获取高比例的黄烷醇会带来严重的缺点。为了抵消可可的苦味，制造商添加了大量的糖)”可知，从黑巧克力中摄取黄烷醇会导致糖的摄入量增加。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the celebrated health benefits of dark chocolate appear to be rooted more in marketing and wishful thinking than in robust science. (最终，黑巧克力那些备受称赞的健康益处似乎更多植根于市场营销和一厢情愿的想法，而非robust的科学)”可知，划线词“robust”与“marketing and wishful thinking (营销和一厢情愿的想法)”形成对比，用来修饰“science”，应指“坚实的、可靠的”科学证据，与B项“Solid”意思相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇第一段“Dark chocolate, mainly solid cocoa, is widely believed to be a healthier treat, often credited with benefits like lowering blood pressure and boosting brainpower. These claims are largely linked to flavanols, compounds abundant in cocoa. However, a closer look at the scientific evidence suggests that we should be careful about eating dark chocolate.(人们普遍认为，以固体可可为主的黑巧克力是更健康的零食，常被认为具有降低血压、增强脑力等益处。这些说法主要与可可中富含的黄烷醇化合物有关。然而，仔细审视科学证据会发现，我们对食用黑巧克力应持谨慎态度)”即引出对黑巧克力健康宣称的质疑。随后，文章第二、三段分析相关科学证据的薄弱之处，第四段揭示其高糖高脂的健康风险，最后一段总结其健康益处更多源于营销。全文核心在于揭示关于黑巧克力健康的“苦涩真相”。A项“The Bitter Truth About Dark Chocolate (黑巧克力的苦涩真相)”准确概括了这一主题，是文章最佳标题。故选A项。 C If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 9. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 10. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 11. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene. B. How trusting you are frees people from disease. C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities. D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现，我们对陌生人产生信任的能力或许不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能源于我们的基因，文章对此进行了详细介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句到第三句“Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment.(关于为何有些人比其他人更易信任他人，出现了两种主要理论。一种认为信任是一种由早期生活经历塑造的稳定特征。另一种则认为信任受个人对社会环境持续评估的影响)”可知，根据这两种主要理论，社交经历可能会影响人们的信任程度。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第三句到最后一句“In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(在他们最近的一项研究中，他们对 33882 名丹麦献血者进行了调查。研究发现，有一种名为 PLPP4 的基因与信任他人的性格特征密切相关，并且该基因解释了研究对象群体中社会信任差异的 6%。如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因就能解释他们对他人信任程度差异的 6%)”可知，这项最近的研究关注的是信任与基因之间的联系。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.(事实上，如果信任他人能起到缓解压力的作用，那么它或许还能降低患心血管疾病的风险)”可知，文章认为信任他人对健康有好处。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人，仅这一基因因素就足以解释他们之间 6%的信任度差异)”可知，信任他人的能力与一个特定的基因有关。故选A。 D Goldman Sachs estimates there were over 80 million social media influencers globally in 2024, spanning platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with the number growing 10% - 20% annually. While some perceive influencing as a pastime, others pursue it full time, drawn by stories of influencers making tens of thousands of dollars per post or launching their own brands. Morning Consult reports that 57% of American Gen Zers dream of becoming influencers, with 53% referring to it as a “respectable career”. For companies, the appeal of influencer marketing (营销) lies in its capability to target specific audiences through content creators, alongside consumers’ rising social media engagement. Influencer Marketing Hub notes 86% of brands globally plan to invest in influencer campaigns in 2025, up from 37% in 2017, with nearly a quarter committing over 40% of their marketing budgets to such efforts. However, the influencer boom presents challenges. Goldman Sachs reveals only 4% of influencers earn over $100,000 annually. AI-generated “virtual influencers” like Aitana López - a computer-designed fitness expert with 330,000 Instagram followers - threaten to flood feeds (信息流) further. While small creators with modest (不算多的) followings may earn side income, few can quit their regular jobs. Market overcrowding also makes online fame unstable. Joe Gagliese of Viral Nation warns that even viral moments don’t guarantee lasting success: “If influencers don't take advantage of the momentum (势头), someone else will.” Consumer exhaustion adds another hurdle. A 2023 McKinsey survey found 68% of global fashion consumers were critical about the massive amount of sponsored content. Anita Balchandani of McKinsey notes influencers initially gained attention as “trusted” voices, but maintaining veracity alongside paid promotions is now crucial. Seeking this balance is key to staying relevant in an overcrowded market. Ultimately, while the appeal of influencer careers remains, the reality is tough: as the industry grows, so does the gap between the fascinating dream and real sustainability. 12. What makes many Gen Zers keen to enter the field of influencing? A. The potential to be wealthy or start their own businesses. B. The opportunity to secure regular corporate jobs. C. The guarantee of immediate success and popularity. D. The rocketing popularity of social media platforms. 13. Which of the following is NOT a factor discouraging social media influencers? A. Low earnings. B. Companies' preference for AI. C. Intense competition. D. Displeased audiences. 14. What does the underlined word “veracity” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Popularity. B. Confidence. C. Honesty. D. Competence. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Influencers and Their Impact on Social Media B. Opportunities and Challenges within the Influencer Economy C. Gen Zers' Enthusiasm for Entering Sooial Media Influencing D. Brands' Climbing Marketing Budgets for Influencer Campaigns 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网红经济的机遇以及面临的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“While some perceive influencing as a pastime, others pursue it full time, drawn by stories of influencers making tens of thousands of dollars per post or launching their own brands. Morning Consult reports that 57% of American Gen Zers dream of becoming influencers, with 53% referring to it as a “respectable career”. (虽然有些人认为当网红是一种消遣，但也有人受网红每条帖子能赚数万美元或推出自己品牌故事的吸引而全职从事这一行业。Morning Consult 的报告显示，57%的美国Z世代梦想成为网红，53%的人认为这是一份“体面的职业”。)”可知，许多Z世代渴望进入网红领域是因为有变得富有或创业的潜力。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Goldman Sachs reveals only 4% of influencers earn over $100,000 annually. (高盛透露，只有4%的网红年收入超过10万美元。)”可知，存在收入低的问题；“AI-generated “virtual influencers” like Aitana López - a computer-designed fitness expert with 330,000 Instagram followers - threaten to flood feeds (信息流) further. While small creators with modest (不算多的) followings may earn side income, few can quit their regular jobs. Market overcrowding also makes online fame unstable. (像 Aitana López 这样由人工智能生成的“虚拟网红”——一个由电脑设计的拥有 33 万 Instagram 粉丝的健身专家——有可能进一步充斥信息流。虽然粉丝数量不多的小创作者可能会获得一些副业收入，但很少有人能辞去本职工作。市场过度饱和也使得网络名气不稳定。)”可知，存在激烈竞争的问题；根据第四段的“A 2023 McKinsey survey found 68% of global fashion consumers were critical about the massive amount of sponsored content. (麦肯锡 2023 年的一项调查发现，68% 的全球时尚消费者对大量的赞助内容持批评态度。)”可知，存在观众不满意的问题。而文中未提及公司对人工智能的偏好是阻碍网红发展的因素。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词的前半句话“Anita Balchandani of McKinsey notes influencers initially gained attention as “trusted” voices, (麦肯锡的 Anita Balchandani指出，网红最初是以“值得信赖”的声音获得关注的)”以及“maintaining (保持)”可知，网红一开始靠值得信赖获得关注，所以在付费推广时保持“诚实、真实”很关键，所以划线单词veracity意思是“诚实”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“For companies, the appeal of influencer marketing (营销) lies in its capability to target specific audiences through content creators, alongside consumers' rising social media engagement. (对于企业而言，网红营销的吸引力在于，它能够通过内容创作者精准触达特定受众群体，同时消费者对社交媒体的参与度也在不断提高。)”以及第三段的“However, the influencer boom presents challenges. (然而，网红行业的蓬勃发展也带来了一些挑战。)”可知，文章主要讲述了网红经济中的机遇与挑战。所以“网红经济中的机遇与挑战”作为标题最合适。故选B。 第二节 (共5节；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Starting Your Own Travel Blog Travel stories always make for very interesting reads.

I waited at the bus stop, holding my school bag tightly. The rain beat hard against the umbrella in my hand. I had stayed late for the group project and missed my usual bus. A strong wind suddenly blew. My umbrella turned inside out. Rain poured over me at once. My books and uniform got wet quickly. I felt upset and helpless. There were few people around. Most drivers passed by without stopping. Just as I was about to walk home in the heavy rain, a car slowed down beside me. The window rolled down. It was Mrs. Smith, my new neighbour. She smiled and asked where I lived. I told her my address. She invited me to get into her car. I hesitated. I hardly knew her. But the rain was getting worse. I thanked her and climbed into the warm car. She gave me a clean towel (毛巾) to dry my hair. On the way, we talked about school. She told me she once got stuck in the rain years ago, and a stranger helped her out. Soon we arrived at my building. I wanted to pay her some money for the ride, but she refused. “Pass on the kindness when you can,” she said softly. I nodded and got out of the car, watching her drive away. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Standing at the door, I held the wet towel in my hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Months later, I met a little girl caught in the rain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: Standing at the door, I held the wet towel in my hand. What Mrs. Smith told me kept ringing in my mind. Though we barely knew each other, she kindly stopped to pick me up on that cold and rainy day and helped me out of trouble without asking for anything in return. A surge of warmth instantly filled my heart and drove away all my previous upset. I hung the towel to dry carefully and stepped into the house, making up my mind to pass on the kindness to strangers in need whenever I got a chance. Paragraph 2: Months later, I met a little girl caught in the rain. She stood helplessly at the street corner, holding her schoolbag tightly and trembling with cold as the rain soaked her clothes. I immediately walked up to her and shared my umbrella with her. I accompanied her all the way to her apartment building safely. Before saying goodbye, I told her to remember to pass on the kindness when she could. Seeing her bright and grateful smile, I deeply realized that kindness is a warm cycle that can always light up people’s lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者雨天留校后错过班车，雨伞被狂风损坏，被困大雨中、无助万分。新邻居史密斯夫人主动停车搭载作者回家，拒绝报酬，并嘱托作者有能力时传递善意，让作者深受触动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者回味史密斯夫人的暖心举动与嘱托，内心倍感温暖，下定决心传承这份善意。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者主动帮助淋雨无助的小女孩，践行善意传承，并领悟到善意循环的真谛。 2.续写线索：回味嘱托——心生温暖——铭记善意——偶遇淋雨女孩——主动相助——传递善意——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①搭载某人：pick sb. up/give sb. a ride ②传递：pass on/spread/hand on 情绪类 ①失落，沮丧：upset/depression ②无助地：helplessly/powerlessly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Though we barely knew each other, she kindly stopped to pick me up on that cold and rainy day and helped me out of trouble without asking for anything in return.
