My school required us to take part in projects. My project that year required me to make an app. W: What inspired you to make such an app? M: Back then some of my classmates complained that they didn’t like preparing for their exams. They found it boring. So I wanted to create an app that could make learning more fun. In the end I created an app that lets teachers create resources in the form of game-style quizzes. W: Is it helpful? M: I think so. Students love using it. Now it is used by learners in more than 100 countries across the world. Research shows that it can increase learning by up to 14%. W: I’ll certainly introduce it to my younger brother. I hope it can help him learn better. （本题6分）听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 14．(1.5分)What is the probable relationship between the speakers? A．Parent and child. B．Brother and sister.

It is powered by artificial intelligence and is always there to chat and keep you company like a friend designed just for you. These days, loneliness is becoming a big issue, and I believe AI friends could really make a difference. You can customize your AI friend’s appearance and choose the kind of relationship you want. Whether as a friend, a romantic partner or even a teacher, from this experience I’ve truly seen the potential of this technology. On one hand, an AI friend listens, gives advice and offers emotional support, making the experience more personal and comforting. However, if it’s not developed properly, there is a downside. People might become so attached to their AI friends that they withdraw from real life interactions. That’s why I believe we shouldn’t measure the success of AI by clicks or screen time. Instead, we should focus on its impact on people’s emotions. Does it make them feel happier? Does it help them feel more connected? If we build AI with human happiness in mind, we could make the world a better place. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）The most inviting part of a newspaper isn’t always the headlines on the front page.

But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like superstars. But then, over the next couple of years, smartphones became popular. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick. I managed to live like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone inconvenient. For instance, many university students are now required to download an app on their phones to confirm identities on campus. That makes smartphone ownership a must. It is nearly impossible to separate your life from your smartphone now. At the same time, researchers are still trying to analyze the effects of phones and the Internet on our mental health. According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets. It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone. Many people would surely like to give them up, but society does not allow for that. In many ways, it is socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author mention her grandma in paragraph 1? A．To comment on the poor design of smartphones. B．To introduce her own attitude towards smartphones. C．To stress the reliability of traditional “dumb phones”. D．To show the difficulty the elderly have with new technology. 25．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the author during her school years without a smartphone? A．She was seen as an outsider by her peers (同伴). B．She had problems with her life and study. C．She enjoyed being the focus of her friends. D．She was considered fashionable in school. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following would the author agree with? A．Social media is the main cause of young people’s anxiety. B．University students should return to using brick phones. C．Easy access to the Internet is linked to mental health issues. D．Smartphones bring more benefits than harm to mental health. 27．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Why I Miss My Nokia B．The Rise of Smartphones C．Social Media and Mental Health D．How to Survive without a Smartphone 【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．A 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者借奶奶不习惯智能手机引出自身经历：她十年只用诺基亚，却因现实需求改用智能机，认为随身网络易带来焦虑，至今仍怀念老式功能机。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“My grandma has a new smartphone, and I am trying to help her use it. But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020.( 我奶奶刚买了一部新智能手机，我正努力帮她使用。但她却说这手机“坏了”，因为屏幕上出现的内容会消失且无法恢复。而她以前的“老式傻瓜机”则更可靠。尽管我是个精通技术、24岁的孙女，但我完全理解她的感受。而且，我也曾选择在2010年到2020年间整整十年都不用智能手机。)”可推知，作者提及奶奶的经历，是为了自然过渡到自己对智能手机的态度与相关经历，起到引入话题的作用。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick.( 我成了大家眼中的异类——无法播放音乐，也无法用复习类应用来备考。到了大学时，人们甚至公开评论，觉得我居然还有一部诺基亚老手机，真是奇怪。)”可推知，在同学都使用智能手机的环境里，不用智能手机的作者被同伴视为与众不同的“局外人”。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets.( 根据最近的研究，2010年至2020年这一十年间，年轻人的幸福感开始急剧下降。而就在同一时期，互联网也已悄然进入我们的日常生活中。)”以及第五段中“It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone.( 导致年轻人感到悲伤和焦虑的，并不一定是社交媒体本身，而是社交媒体通过智能手机在他们生活中的持续存在。)”可推知，作者认为智能手机让互联网随时可及，这种持续在线的状态与年轻人的心理健康问题相关。 27．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again.( 即便到了现在，我也很想重新用回我的诺基亚功能机。最近，我厌倦了iPhone不断响起的提示音，便在网上买了一部二手诺基亚。这台诺基亚依然在那里，随时准备让我再次使用。)”可知，全文以作者的个人经历为核心：从十年坚持使用诺基亚功能机，到因社会变化不得不使用智能手机，再到如今仍怀念功能机的简单状态，同时探讨智能手机带来的心理影响。A选项Why I Miss My Nokia“我为何怀念我的诺基亚”既点明了核心情感，也能串联全文内容，适合作为文章的标题。 （本题10分）Most online fraud (诈骗) involves identity theft. Passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground. It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today’s devices. These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone’s fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction (交易) is likely to be the device’s habitual user. “Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual’s unique motion fingerprint”, says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user’s finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device’s regular places of use — as revealed by its GPS unit that user’s identity can be pretty well determined. Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact, Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognised. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people’s privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night. 28．(2.5分)What is behavioural biometrics for? A．To ensure network security. B．To identify network crime. C．To track online fraud. D．To gather online data. 29．(2.5分)How does behavioural biometrics work? A．By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users. B．By spotting and revealing a device’s regular places of use. C．By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices. D．By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices. 30．(2.5分)What’s the author’s attitude towards behavioural biometrics? A．Doubtful. B．Concerned. C．Objective. D．Unfavorable. 31．(2.5分)From which section of a magazine can this passage possibly be taken? A．Health and wealth. B．Science and technology. C．Finance and economics. D．Books and arts. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．C 31．B 【导语】文章讲述了一项密码安全技术——行为生物识别技术，这种技术使得识别个体独特的运动指纹成为可能。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground.(密码是起作用的，但很多都可以猜到。较新的手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑和台式电脑经常使用指纹和面部识别加强安全性。但这些都可以模仿。这就是为什么一种新的方法——行为生物识别，正在取得进展)”可推断，行为生物识别用来确保网络安全。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today’s devices. These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk.(它依赖于今天的设备所做的大量测量。这些数据包括来自传感器的数据，这些数据揭示了人们在使用手机时是如何持有手机的，是如何携带手机的，甚至包括他们走路的方式)”可知，行为识别技术通过监视和比较用户与设备交互的方式起作用的。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit.(明智地使用，行为生物识别技术可能是一个巨大的好处)”以及“Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people’s privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night.(然而，如果使用不当，该系统将成为另一个侵犯人们隐私的电子间谍，让完全陌生的人能够监视你的每一个举动，从你早晨拿起手机的那一刻，到你晚上将手机扔在地板上的瞬间)”可推断，作者对于生物识别技术的态度是客观的。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段的“That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground.(这就是为什么一种新的方法——行为生物识别，正在取得进展)”以及下文的解释可知，本文讲述了一项安全技术生物识别技术，因此推断本文很有可能出自杂志的科学技术版块。 （本题10分）Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 32．(2.5分)What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text? A．It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. B．It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. C．It has not gained acceptance from the academic world yet. D．It is original and checks people’s neural responses. 33．(2.5分)What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The process of the study. B．The design of the study. C．The findings of the study. D．The breakthrough of the study. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Indifferent. 35．(2.5分)What might be the best title for the passage? A．Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds. B．How Vidos Connect People’s Minds. C．The Science Behind Social Networks. D．Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者们通过分析大脑活动模式来预测人际关系的研究，研究发现朋友间的大脑活动模式最为相似。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network.(该研究发表在《自然通讯》上，是首个研究现实世界社交网络中人们神经反应之间联系的研究)”和“Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways(我们的研究结果表明，朋友们以极其相似的方式处理周围的世界)”可知，这项研究是首创的，它检查了人们的神经反应。故选D项。 33．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner.

They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites. 36(2.5分) If you’re not aware of how they work, what starts out as a fun way to be with friends online can negatively affect your mental health. You might think the algorithm knows you really well, but the reality is it reflects your scrolling behaviours, not who you are as a person. 37(2.5分) The purpose of the algorithm is to keep you online as much as possible so that your data can be collected and sold to companies. The algorithm grabs your attention in numerous ways. Humans naturally seek connection and proof from others, so each time you receive a like or a friendly comment on your posts, it releases a chemical in your brain called dopamine that gives you a happy feeling. 38(2.5分) Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (回声室) where they hear opinions that are similar to their own. This can strengthen beliefs, because no one is offering a different opinion. 39(2.5分) A study of 14-year-olds found that greater social media use was correlated with poorer sleep, online worry, poor body image, low self-esteem (自尊) and higher depression. If you are on social media then there are ways to reduce the negative effects. 40(2.5分) From time to time, stop and ask yourself, do you really want to look at this? Besides, don’t engage with content unless you really need to. This keeps a healthy distance between you and the algorithm. A．And it doesn’t have your best interests at heart. B．But in doing so, algorithms can influence your thinking. C．Notice the mood that attracts you to keep scrolling or click. D．Algorithms give teens an accurate mirror image of themselves. E．The result of this kind of mental control can be poor mental health. F．An algorithm is a set of rules or processes designed to solve a problem. G．But these highs can be followed with a low that leaves you longing for more. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．G 39．E 40．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了社交媒体算法如何通过操控用户行为，对青少年心理健康产生负面影响及应对方法。 【详解】36．上文“Social media algorithms (算法) are tools tech companies use in our daily apps, games and websites. They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites(社交媒体算法是科技公司在我们的日常应用程序、游戏和平台中使用的工具。它们向你展示你喜欢的内容，这样你就可以在它们的平台上花更多的时间)”介绍算法运作形式，下文“If you’re not aware of how they work, what starts out as a fun way to be with friends online can negatively affect your mental health.(如果你没意识到它们的运作机制，这种起初在线和朋友相处的有趣的方式，可能会对你的心理健康产生负面影响)”讲述算法弊端。空处承上启下，体现算法的消极影响。B项“但在这个过程中，算法会影响你的思维”衔接上下文，符合语境。 37．上文“You might think the algorithm knows you really well, but the reality is it reflects your scrolling behaviours, not who you are as a person.(你或许以为算法对你了如指掌，可事实是，它映射的仅仅是你的滑动浏览行为，而非你这个人的本质)”指出算法只反映用户浏览行为，并非真正了解用户，否定了算法贴合用户的认知。空处进一步说明算法的本质目的并非为用户着想。A项“它并不会真心为你谋利”承接前文，契合下文算法收集售卖用户数据的功利目的。 38．上文“Humans naturally seek connection and proof from others, so each time you receive a like or a friendly comment on your posts, it releases a chemical in your brain called dopamine that gives you a happy feeling.(人类天生渴望与他人建立联结并获得凭据，因此，每当你的帖子收获一个点赞或一条友善评论，大脑便会释放一种名为“多巴胺”的化学物质，令你产生愉悦之感)”说明算法通过点赞带来短暂的快乐。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种快乐之后的心理落差。所以G项“而这些兴奋之后往往会伴随着低落，让你渴望更多。”符合语境。G项中的highs对应前文的“happy feeling”，low对应后文的“longing for more”。 39．下文“A study of 14-year-olds found that greater social media use was correlated with poorer sleep, online worry, poor body image, low self-esteem and higher depression.(一项针对14岁青少年的研究发现，过度使用社交媒体与睡眠质量差、网络焦虑、身体形象不佳、自尊心低下以及抑郁加剧相关)”列举了具体的心理健康问题。空处和下文为总分关系，总述这种心理控制导致的后果。所以E项“这种精神控制的结果可能是心理健康状况不佳。”符合语境。E项中的“poor mental health”概括了下文的所有症状。 40．前文“If you are on social media then there are ways to reduce the negative effects.(若你活跃于社交媒体，仍有诸多途径可缓解其负面影响)”指出有方法减少社交媒体的负面影响，下文“From time to time, stop and ask yourself, do you really want to look at this?(时不时停下来问问自己，你真的想看这个吗？)”建议用户自我觉察浏览动机。空处衔接具体调节方法。所以C项“留意吸引你不断滚动屏幕或点击的情绪。”符合语境。C项中的“Notice”与下文的“ask yourself”同为自我反思的建议。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My story in China began with a heartbeat of panic at Chengdu airport. 41 and knowing no Chinese, I entered a new world.

Are you shy when you meet someone for the first time? If so, then don’t worry. Studies show that very few people are 57(1.5分) (natural) gifted when it comes to making friends. So for those of us 58(1.5分) have a problem, here is a quick and simple summary of what the experts have to say. First of all, don’t forget 59(1.5分) (smile). Smiling makes everyone appear more 60(1.5分) (attract). It also helps the other person to relax. First impressions are of great 61(1.5分) (important), so try to remember the name of the person you have just met and use it in your conversation. Doing this often 62(1.5分) (send) a signal that you want to get to know the person. Above all, experts say it is important to show a genuine interest 63(1.5分) the other person. If you ask questions to find out 64(1.5分) he or she likes, you will find your popularity will increase. A lot of people experience unnecessary anxiety when 65(1.5分) (meet) new people. Try following these valuable tips and don’t forget that the other person probably wants to make friends just as much as you do! 【答案】 56．it 57．naturally 58．who 59．to smile 60．attractive 61．importance 62．sends 63．in 64．what 65．meeting 【导语】文章主要介绍了专家在交朋友方面给出的几项建议。 【详解】56．考查形式宾语。句意：你觉得建立友谊很难吗? find之后缺少宾语，且真正宾语为“to build friendships”，因此，所填空应是形式宾语it。 57．考查副词。句意：研究表明，很少有人天生就擅长交朋友。修饰之后的形容词gifted用副词naturally。 58．考查定语从句。句意：因此，对于那些有困扰的我们来说，这里有一个专家观点的简明扼要总结。定语从句修饰先行词those of us，在从句作主语，指人，故用who。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，不要忘记微笑。forget to do sth.意为“忘记做某事”，不定式作宾语，强调因疏忽而未完成某个动作。 60．考查形容词。句意：微笑使每个人看起来更有吸引力。作表语，表示“有吸引力的”用形容词attractive。 61．考查名词。句意：第一印象非常重要，所以尽量记住刚认识的人的名字，并在交谈中使用这个名字。作介词的宾语，用名词importance。 62．考查时态。句意：这样做通常会发出你想要了解对方的信号。根据often可知为一般现在时，主语为Doing this，动名词作主语，谓语用第三人称单数。 63．考查介词。句意：最重要的是，专家们表示，表现出对对方的真诚兴趣非常重要。短语show a genuine interest in意为“对……表现出真正的兴趣”。 64．考查宾语从句。句意：如果你提问来了解他或她喜欢什么，你会发现自己的受欢迎程度会增加。引导宾语从句，从句中的动词likes缺少宾语，应用连接代词what。 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：很多人在结识新朋友时会产生不必要的焦虑。此处是状语从句的省略结构，when引导的时间状语从句中，主句主语A lot of people和动词meet是主动关系，省略了主语和be动词后，要用meet的现在分词形式meeting。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是校英语俱乐部负责人李华，你邀请到了英国电脑专家Chris教授作主题为“Be smart online learners”的讲座。请你在讲座前简要发言，内容包括： 1．相关介绍； 2．注意事项。 注意：1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear fellow students, So privileged are we that today Professor Chris will deliver a lecture themed Be smart online learners for us.

For five days we’ll be entirely on our own.” Grace, her best friend, nodded quietly, feeling anxious about leaving home. Lydia comforted her warmly, but sighed at the thought of Kerry also joining the camp. The two girls were rivals. Lydia disliked Kerry’s obsession with appearance, while Kerry always thought Lydia was self-centered and bossy. The next day, the girls were in high spirits as they got into the bus heading for the camp. Everyone sang joyfully, with Kerry’s clear voice standing out. After the group had sung all the popular hits, there was a break. Grace turned to Lydia and said, “Sing the song you’ve composed ‘There’s beauty in the sunset’.” “Oh, so she composes as well.” Kerry’s tone was ironic. Lydia’s face reddened with embarrassment because she kept all her writings hidden inside her notebook and cherished it. Soon they reached the campsite. By drawing lots, they were divided into five teams of seven. Much to Lydia’s displeasure, Kerry ended up in Team Three together with her and Grace. Lydia was later elected team leader. The camp was filled with colorful activities. Still, what everyone looked forward to most was the final Culture Evening, when each team had to prepare three original acts. The next morning, Lydia assigned tent-tidying work to Kerry. While cleaning, Kerry accidentally found a piece of paper that had slipped out of Lydia’s notebook, on which was exactly that song. She was deeply touched by the delicate and sincere words. Realizing her mean words before were totally wrong, Kerry felt guilty but didn’t know how to apologize properly to Lydia. Later, the team gathered to discuss acts for the cultural show. A short play and a group dance were settled in no time, but the third act remained undecided. A magic show was rejected as too risky, and a fashion show as too costly — they craved something novel and impressive. All of them frowned and racked their brains, failing to figure it out. 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。 Just then, Grace looked from Lydia to Kerry and got a perfect plan.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final evening, Kerry came on stage with her guitar.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Just then, Grace looked from Lydia to Kerry, and got a perfect plan. She suggested combining Lydia’s song with Kerry’s voice. Lydia hesitated, unwilling to share her secret. Kerry admitted she had read the song by accident and found it beautiful. She felt ashamed of her mocking remarks and apologized sincerely. Seeing her regret, Lydia finally agreed to let Kerry sing it. Kerry would sing, Lydia would read the opening lines, and Grace would lead the chorus. As they rehearsed, their voices blended beautifully. Kerry praised Lydia’s lyrics, and Lydia admired Kerry’s voice. The coldness between them gradually melted. On the final evening, Kerry came on stage with her guitar. She played the first chord, and Lydia, standing beside her, read the opening lines. Then Kerry began to sing. Her clear voice carried the tender words across the silent hall, while Grace and the team joined them gently. Lydia listened with tears in her eyes. When the song ended, thunderous applause filled the room. Kerry whispered that the song deserved this moment. Lydia smiled, thanking her for making it alive. They hugged, and the old rivalry between them was gone. The camp ended with music, laughter, and a precious friendship. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lydia和好友Grace参加露营，却与对手Kerry分在同一队；Kerry偶然读到Lydia珍藏的原创歌词深受触动并真诚道歉，最终两人在文化晚会上合作表演Lydia的歌曲，化解昔日竞争、建立真正友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，本段应描写Grace提出将Lydia创作的歌曲与Kerry的歌唱才能结合的方案；Kerry坦诚自己曾无意看到歌词并被打动，为之前的讽刺道歉，Lydia被打动并接受合作，团队一起排练，两人隔阂逐渐消融。 ② 由第二段首句可知，本段应描写晚会现场Kerry弹吉他演唱、Lydia配合朗诵，表演大获成功，两人相拥和解，旧日竞争化为珍贵友谊，呼应主题。 2. 续写线索：Grace想到合作计划 —— Kerry真诚道歉 —— Lydia释怀接受 —— 共同排练磨合 ——晚会登台演出 —— 观众热烈反响 —— 两人拥抱和解、收获友谊 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①混合/融合：blend/integrate/mix ②值得：deserve/be worthy of 情绪类 ①真诚地道歉：apologize sincerely / make an apology genuinely ②赞扬：praise/speak highly of 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing her regret, Lydia finally agreed to let Kerry sing it.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】When the song ended, thunderous applause filled the room.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 4 Information Technology 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What causes the man’s monthly bill to vary?

But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020. Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like superstars. But then, over the next couple of years, smartphones became popular. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick. I managed to live like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone inconvenient. For instance, many university students are now required to download an app on their phones to confirm identities on campus. That makes smartphone ownership a must. It is nearly impossible to separate your life from your smartphone now. At the same time, researchers are still trying to analyze the effects of phones and the Internet on our mental health. According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets. It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone. Many people would surely like to give them up, but society does not allow for that. In many ways, it is socially unacceptable not to have one. Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again. 24．(2.5分)Why does the author mention her grandma in paragraph 1? A．To comment on the poor design of smartphones.

But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground. It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today’s devices. These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone’s fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction (交易) is likely to be the device’s habitual user. “Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual’s unique motion fingerprint”, says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user’s finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device’s regular places of use — as revealed by its GPS unit that user’s identity can be pretty well determined. Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact, Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognised. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people’s privacy, permitting complete strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night. 28．(2.5分)What is behavioural biometrics for? A．To ensure network security. B．To identify network crime. C．To track online fraud. D．To gather online data. 29．(2.5分)How does behavioural biometrics work? A．By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users. B．By spotting and revealing a device’s regular places of use. C．By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices. D．By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices. 30．(2.5分)What’s the author’s attitude towards behavioural biometrics? A．Doubtful. B．Concerned. C．Objective. D．Unfavorable. 31．(2.5分)From which section of a magazine can this passage possibly be taken? A．Health and wealth. B．Science and technology. C．Finance and economics. D．Books and arts. （本题10分）Researchers found that they could accurately (准确地) predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Put simply: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to active, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses in pairs across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables (变量), including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy (类比) in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 32．(2.5分)What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text? A．It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. B．It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. C．It has not gained acceptance from the academic world yet. D．It is original and checks people’s neural responses. 33．(2.5分)What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The process of the study. B．The design of the study. C．The findings of the study. D．The breakthrough of the study. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Objective. D．Indifferent. 35．(2.5分)What might be the best title for the passage? A．Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds. B．How Vidos Connect People’s Minds. C．The Science Behind Social Networks. D．Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns. （本题12.5分）Social media algorithms (算法) are tools tech companies use in our daily apps, games and websites. They show you content you enjoy so that you spend more time on their sites. 36(2.5分) If you’re not aware of how they work, what starts out as a fun way to be with friends online can negatively affect your mental health. You might think the algorithm knows you really well, but the reality is it reflects your scrolling behaviours, not who you are as a person. 37(2.5分) The purpose of the algorithm is to keep you online as much as possible so that your data can be collected and sold to companies. The algorithm grabs your attention in numerous ways. Humans naturally seek connection and proof from others, so each time you receive a like or a friendly comment on your posts, it releases a chemical in your brain called dopamine that gives you a happy feeling. 38(2.5分) Algorithms also operate by drawing people into echo chambers (回声室) where they hear opinions that are similar to their own. This can strengthen beliefs, because no one is offering a different opinion. 39(2.5分) A study of 14-year-olds found that greater social media use was correlated with poorer sleep, online worry, poor body image, low self-esteem (自尊) and higher depression. If you are on social media then there are ways to reduce the negative effects. 40(2.5分) From time to time, stop and ask yourself, do you really want to look at this? Besides, don’t engage with content unless you really need to. This keeps a healthy distance between you and the algorithm. A．And it doesn’t have your best interests at heart. B．But in doing so, algorithms can influence your thinking. C．Notice the mood that attracts you to keep scrolling or click. D．Algorithms give teens an accurate mirror image of themselves. E．The result of this kind of mental control can be poor mental health. F．An algorithm is a set of rules or processes designed to solve a problem. G．But these highs can be followed with a low that leaves you longing for more. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My story in China began with a heartbeat of panic at Chengdu airport. 41 and knowing no Chinese, I entered a new world.

For five days we’ll be entirely on our own.” Grace, her best friend, nodded quietly, feeling anxious about leaving home. Lydia comforted her warmly, but sighed at the thought of Kerry also joining the camp. The two girls were rivals. Lydia disliked Kerry’s obsession with appearance, while Kerry always thought Lydia was self-centered and bossy. The next day, the girls were in high spirits as they got into the bus heading for the camp. Everyone sang joyfully, with Kerry’s clear voice standing out. After the group had sung all the popular hits, there was a break. Grace turned to Lydia and said, “Sing the song you’ve composed ‘There’s beauty in the sunset’.” “Oh, so she composes as well.” Kerry’s tone was ironic. Lydia’s face reddened with embarrassment because she kept all her writings hidden inside her notebook and cherished it. Soon they reached the campsite. By drawing lots, they were divided into five teams of seven. Much to Lydia’s displeasure, Kerry ended up in Team Three together with her and Grace. Lydia was later elected team leader. The camp was filled with colorful activities. Still, what everyone looked forward to most was the final Culture Evening, when each team had to prepare three original acts. The next morning, Lydia assigned tent-tidying work to Kerry. While cleaning, Kerry accidentally found a piece of paper that had slipped out of Lydia’s notebook, on which was exactly that song. She was deeply touched by the delicate and sincere words. Realizing her mean words before were totally wrong, Kerry felt guilty but didn’t know how to apologize properly to Lydia. Later, the team gathered to discuss acts for the cultural show. A short play and a group dance were settled in no time, but the third act remained undecided. A magic show was rejected as too risky, and a fashion show as too costly — they craved something novel and impressive. All of them frowned and racked their brains, failing to figure it out. 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。 Just then, Grace looked from Lydia to Kerry and got a perfect plan.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final evening, Kerry came on stage with her guitar.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。How much is your phone bill each month?

Listen to the next question. Good morning, everyone. I am delighted to be here today. As some of you may know, I created a nap called replica IT, is powered by artificial intelligence and is always there to chat and keep your company like a friend designed just for you. These days, loneliness is becoming a big issue, and I believe AI friends could really make a difference. You can customize your AI friends appearance and choose the kind of relationship you want, whether as a friend, a romantic partner or even a teacher. From this experience, i've truly seen the potential of this technology on one hand, and AI friend lessons, gives advice and offers emotional support, making the experience more personal and comforting. However, if it's not developed properly, there is a downside. People might become so attached to their AI friends that they withdraw from real life interactions. That's why I believe we shouldn't measure the success of AI by clicks or screen time. Instead, we should focus on its impact on people's emotions. Does IT make them feel happier? Does that help them feel more connected if we build a eye with human happiness in mind, we could make the world a Better place. Good morning, everyone. I am delighted to be here today.
