B．Avoiding screens an hour before bed. C．Listening to relaxing music instead. 【答案】18．B 19．B 20．B 【原文】 W: Good evening. My name is Dr. Emma Reed, and I’m a sleep researcher. Over the past two years, my team has been studying a very common modern habit: the use of smartphones and tablets in bed before sleep. We surveyed over 1,000 adults and monitored the sleep patterns of 200 volunteers. Our findings are clear: the blue light emitted by these screens tricks the brain into thinking it’s still daytime. This suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that signals our body it’s time to sleep. As a result, people who use devices before bed take longer to fall asleep and report poorer sleep quality overall, even if they sleep for the same number of hours. They also feel less rested in the morning. So, what can you do? The most effective solution is to create a “digital sunset” for yourself. That means turning off all screens — phones, laptops, TVs—at least 60 minutes before your planned bedtime. Use that time to read a physical book, listen to calm music, or practice gentle stretching. Your brain and body will thank you for it. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Hoping for a glimpse of the Milky Way (银河系)? These user-friendly apps help stargazers learn more about objects in the sky, check visibility for prime Milky Way viewing, or even locate the International Space Station.Stellarium Stellarium works like a camera and tells you exactly what you’re looking at. The app enables you to zoom in (放大) on any object and learn more, and the red light option protects delicate night vision. The app also has a cool “sky cultures” feature that lets you see the sky through different historic and cultural perspectives, from ancient Egyptian culture to three types of Arabic culture.Astrospheric This app may take a minute to get familiar with but it provides essential information before you head out.

I thought I might find it with my downstairs neighbors, a grad-student couple with an army of cats. Maybe with my friends from high school, though we had drifted apart over the years. Maybe back at the community theater, where I’d just tried out for a play and felt easy with the assistant director, a woman my age who I could imagine becoming a friend. And while all those connections have become dear to me since, none of them hold a candle to the bond I found in my then-56-year-old castmate, who brought his own objects to rehearsal and made references I didn’t understand. When I met Ken, I initially found him bold but kind. He’d make a joke, then immediately look me in the eye and apologize, visibly embarrassed by his own words, as if he couldn’t believe he’d said something inappropriate in front of me. I’d sniff and then he’d look shocked for a different reason. It felt like we were, in real time, discovering that the gaps of difference between us actually had islands of common ground. There are certain threads that tie us together in ways we didn’t expect. At first, they just seemed superficial, like our love for horror movies and dark Irish comedy. But we both remember the first time we were truly vulnerable with each other as the real start to our friendship. Now I’m 28 and Ken is 60, and our connection has grown into something I couldn’t replace because we took a chance on each other, a choice that research increasingly suggests people across generations would benefit from making. Friendships like ours might look unusual, but they are seriously good for your health. According to a 2023 study published in The Journal of Aging Studies, there are cognitive, physical and psychosocial benefits for younger and older adults who regularly interact across generational lines. 24．(2.5分)How did the author feel when she first returned to her hometown? A．Somewhat distant from her high school friends. B．Expecting to find community with her neighbors. C．Unlikely to form an intergenerational friendship. D．Uncertain about where to find a sense of community. 25．(2.5分)What contributed to the actual start of the author and Ken’s friendship? A．Their similar taste in movies. B．Their being open and vulnerable. C．Their easy talk in the theater. D．Their shared funny experiences. 26．(2.5分)What will the author most probably discuss next? A．Details of the 2023 study. B．More shared hobbies with Ken. C．Reasons for making older friends. D．Other stories of cross-age friendships. 27．(2.5分)Why did the author write the text? A．To share her newfound friendship with Ken. B．To encourage people to make elderly friends. C．To show benefits of crossing age in friendship. D．To introduce advantages of close friendships. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A 27．C 【导语】作者讲述了自己回到家乡后，意外与年长自己32岁的Ken结下忘年交的经历，描述了二人友谊的建立与加深过程，并结合研究指出跨代友谊能为不同年龄段的人带来认知、身体和社会心理方面的益处。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was 24, newly relocated back to my hometown and searching for a sense of community, an intergenerational friendship wasn’t where I expected to find connection.(在我24岁那年，刚回到家乡重新安顿下来，渴望寻找一种归属感时，我原本没想到能从跨代朋友关系中找到联系)”可知，作者回到家乡寻找归属感时，并未预料到会通过一段跨代友谊找到联结，即她最初认为自己不太可能形成跨代友谊。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“But we both remember the first time we were truly vulnerable with each other as the real start to our friendship.(但我们都记得，那是在我们第一次真正毫无保留地袒露自己内心的时候，这便是我们友谊的真正开端)”可知，两人都认为第一次彼此真正袒露脆弱的时刻是他们友谊的真正开端。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to a 2023 study published in The Journal of Aging Studies, there are cognitive, physical and psychosocial benefits for younger and older adults who regularly interact across generational lines.(根据2023年发表在《老龄化研究杂志》上的一项研究，对于经常跨越代际进行交流的年轻和年长人士而言，会带来认知、身体和心理社会方面的诸多益处)”可知，文章结尾引用了2023年的一项研究，指出跨代互动对年轻人和老年人有多方面的益处。按照行文逻辑，作者接下来最有可能进一步介绍这项研究的具体细节。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now I’m 28 and Ken is 60, and our connection has grown into something I couldn’t replace because we took a chance on each other, a choice that research increasingly suggests people across generations would benefit from making. Friendships like ours might look unusual, but they are seriously good for your health. According to a 2023 study published in The Journal of Aging Studies, there are cognitive, physical and psychosocial benefits for younger and older adults who regularly interact across generational lines.(如今我28岁，而肯60岁了，我们的关系已经发展到了无法替代的地步，因为我们彼此敞开了心扉，做出了选择，而越来越多的研究表明，这种跨代的选择对人们来说是有益的。像我们这样的友谊或许看起来不太寻常，但它们对你的健康确实大有裨益。根据2023年发表在《老龄化研究杂志》上的一项研究，对于经常跨越代际进行交流的年轻和年长人士而言，会带来认知、身体和心理社会方面的诸多益处)”可知，作者旨在展示年龄差异在友谊中所具有的积极影响。 （本题10分）On the day of the 2010 U.S. midterm elections, researchers conducted a massive experiment on 61 million Facebook users. Some were shown a reminder to vote and a link to find their polling (投票) place; others saw a version of the same post displaying faces of their friends who had already voted. The social message was much more effective at getting out the vote, driving 340,000 people to the polls. The study is an influential example of how online networks can influence people’s behavior. But it was a one-off. “The 2010 election happens only once,” says Sadegh Shirani, a PhD student in operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “It’s never going to happen again.” By their nature, giant social experiments can’t be easily rerun to test new hypotheses (假设) or study different conditions. Setting them up in the first place can be expensive, and some questions are difficult to investigate without raising ethical concerns. Shirani and Mohsen Bayati, a professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford GSB, wondered if they could create a virtual world where they could run behavioral experiments as often as they liked. In a new study, they developed a realistic simulation (模拟) populated by 20,000 AI-powered digital “agents” that copied human behavior in a social network. The researchers showed the agents messages based on those used in the 2010 Facebook experiment. They found that their simulation generally produced the same results as that earlier study: A message mentioning social connections increased voter turnout more than an impersonal informational post. However, the effect of seeing the social message was much stronger than what the real-world experiment had found. The results suggest that simulations “capture the big picture, but they’re missing a lot of the detail,” Shirani says. Still, this virtual environment could help researchers broadly test the effectiveness of different interventions. “You can run a type of experiment that you cannot ever do in the real world,” Bayati says. “You can live the life twice.” 28．(2.5分)What kind of post is effective according to the 2010 experiment? A．A post with clear instructions. B．A post with a strong reminder. C．A post carrying social connections. D．A post viewed by millions of people. 29．(2.5分)What does Shirani think of the 2010 experiment? A．It is a waste of money. B．It is impossible to repeat. C．It has raised ethical concerns. D．It has significant implications. 30．(2.5分)What does Shirani and Bayati’s new study show? A．Realistic simulations can be effective. B．Digital agents are more sensitive than real people. C．Simulations can copy every detail of real experiments. D．Virtual experiments can take the place of real-world ones. 31．(2.5分)Which aspect of the simulation does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Its research value. B．Its technical limitation. C．Its working principle. D．Its future development. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．A 【导语】文章主要介绍2010脸书投票实验，斯坦福学者用AI模拟复现该实验并探讨模拟的利弊价值。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The social message was much more effective at getting out the vote, driving 340,000 people to the polls.(这条带有社交信息的帖子在动员投票方面效果要好得多，促使34万人前往投票站。)” 以及第五段中“A message mentioning social connections increased voter turnout more than an impersonal informational post.(提及社交关联的消息比不带个人情感的信息类帖子更能提高投票率。)”可知，带有社交关联的帖子效果显著。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The 2010 election happens only once. It’s never going to happen again.(2010年的选举只会发生一次，它永远不会再次上演。)”可知，Shirani认为2010年这项实验无法重复开展。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段中“They found that their simulation generally produced the same results as that earlier study: A message mentioning social connections increased voter turnout more than an impersonal informational post.(他们发现他们的模拟大体得出了与早期研究相同的结果：提及社交关联的消息比不带个人情感的信息类帖子更能提高投票率。)”以及第六段中“Still, this virtual environment could help researchers broadly test the effectiveness of different interventions.(尽管如此，这一虚拟环境能够帮助研究人员大范围测试不同干预手段的效果。)”可知，现实模拟可以起到不错的效果。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Still, this virtual environment could help researchers broadly test the effectiveness of different interventions. “You can run a type of experiment that you cannot ever do in the real world,” Bayati says. “You can live the life twice.”(尽管如此，这一虚拟环境能够帮助研究人员大范围测试不同干预手段的效果。巴亚蒂说：“你可以开展在现实世界中永远无法完成的一类实验，你可以把过程重复体验两次。”)”可知，本段主要讲述模拟技术的研究价值。 （本题10分）Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 32．(2.5分)What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A．Its huge amount of data. B．Its high cost of daily maintenance. C．Its poor storage conditions. D．Its reliance on changing technology. 33．(2.5分)What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A．Digital access makes them unnecessary. B．They prefer to store physical materials. C．Researchers no longer need archives. D．Digitizing collections is very easy. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A．To introduce a popular storage device. B．To show the short lifespan of hardware. C．To prove the necessity of format updates. D．To compare different digital saving methods. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B．Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C．Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D．The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文讲述了实体物件可长久留存历史信息，但数字信息依赖设备、软件与文件格式，容易失效；图书馆档案人员需持续维护，保存数字历史是一项长期的责任。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. (数字信息不一样。它依赖设备、软件以及文件格式，而这些都有可能过时。)”可知，数字信息面临丢失风险是因为它依赖不断变化的技术。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. (然而这份成功会让图书馆显得不那么必要。当人们说“所有东西都在手机上”时，常常忘了实现这种访问背后繁杂的工作以及维持它所需持续付出的努力。)”可知，作者指出人们误以为数字化让图书馆不再必要，但实际上背后有大量工作。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. (磁盘或许还在，但磁盘里的文件可能无法打开，因为配套的设备或软件已经消失。如果不把数字信息定期转换为新格式，部分历史记录就会突然无法读取。)”可知，作者举老式ZIP磁盘例子，是为了证明更新文件格式十分必要。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. (保存数字历史依旧困难重重，但专业的维护可以让后世研究者虽面临难题却不至于完全无法获取资料。从这个意义上讲，保存并非自动完成，而是一份持续的责任。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要说明保存数字历史记录是一项挑战。 （本题12.5分）Sharing has always been an important part of human culture. Whether it’s sharing food, stories, or ideas, people have always found joy and benefit in giving and receiving. In today’s fast-paced world, the act of sharing has taken on new forms, especially online. 36(2.5分) One common way people share online is through social media platforms. These platforms have become virtual gathering places which allow users to post updates, photos, and videos for their friends and followers to see. Sharing in this way can help people stay connected with loved ones who live far away. 37(2.5分) It also provides a space for people to express their unique personalities and share their viewpoints with a wider audience. Another innovative form of online sharing is through cooperative platforms. Websites such as Wikipedia and GitHub have revolutionized the way knowledge is spread and developed. Users can actively contribute to and edit content, leading to a collective pool of wisdom that benefits the entire global community. 38(2.5分) It encourages teamwork and cooperation. By working together, people can create and improve resources that benefit the entire community. 39(2.5分) With the vast amount of information available at our fingertips, it becomes increasingly difficult to know what is trustworthy. Not all shared content is accurate or reliable, and misinformation can spread rapidly. 40(2.5分) Sharing personal information online can risk privacy by allowing unauthorized access and misuse of data. By understanding the complexities and potential risks associated with sharing, we can strive (努力) towards a more responsible, informed, and mindful approach to sharing in the digital age. A．Sharing content without context can lead to misunderstandings. B．But the essence of it is still to connect and enrich others’ lives. C．This serves as a source of entertainment and social interaction. D．Despite the benefits of online sharing, there are also challenges. E．It provides a support system that is crucial to mental well-being. F．This type of sharing promotes knowledge-sharing and innovation.

She isn’t there to read, but to 41 Netrevalók — monthly lectures where seniors learn digital skills from teenagers. Kis, who spent four years in a state of unconsciousness, 42 needs mental stimulation. However, without English skills, she lacks 43 to navigate internet on her own. “I was afraid to click on things. What if I 44 ?” Through the program, she has learned to use Microsoft Translate — a “new tool” helping her feel less 45 . The program 46 a growing digital divide. While 97% of Hungarians aged 15-50 use the internet, 90% of those over 80 do not go online. Many seniors 47 with basic tasks. As the library director points out, “For the elderly, going digital actually 48 them out.” The benefits extend both ways. Teen volunteers gain patience and 49 into a pre-digital world. “Talking to them is like going back in time,” says 19-year-old Sagie Fruchter. The 50 inspires him to design more 51 technology. For participants like Kis, the lectures 52 more than skills. They not only learn to navigate the digital world but also build meaningful 53 with younger generations. This simple yet powerful bridge across the technological divide 54 as a reminder that genuine connection depends on patience, understanding, and a mutual 55 to learn from one another — using the skills that truly matter to bring their worlds together. 41．(1分)A．cancel B．organize C．finance D．attend 42．(1分)A．desperately B．frequently C．originally D．temporarily 43．(1分)A．confidence B．prejudice C．judgment D．curiosity 44．(1分)A．gave up B．shut up C．messed up D．hurried up 45．(1分)A．disturbed B．disconnected C．embarrassed D．motivated 46．(1分)A．ignores B．accelerates C．creates D．bridges 47．(1分)A．communicate B．volunteer C．attempt D．struggle 48．(1分)A．shows B．picks C．leaves D．crosses 49．(1分)A．investigations B．insights C．admission D．entrance 50．(1分)A．ambition B．experience C．atmosphere D．experiment 51．(1分)A．enjoyable B．acceptable C．accessible D．favorable 52．(1分)A．offer B．own C．receive D．gain 53．(1分)A．schedules B．connections C．impressions D．reactions 54．(1分)A．doubles B．qualifies C．promises D．serves 55．(1分)A．willingness B．authority C．option D．consideration 【答案】 41．D 42．A 43．A 44．C 45．B 46．D 47．D 48．C 49．B 50．B 51．C 52．A 53．B 54．D 55．A 【导语】文章讲述了布达佩斯图书馆一项名为Netrevalók的项目，通过青少年向老年人教授数字技能，不仅帮助老年人跨越数字鸿沟、重拾自信，也让青少年获得启发与成长，搭建起代际沟通的桥梁。 【详解】41．考查动词。句意：她去那里不是为了读书，而是去参加Netrevalók——每月一次的讲座，在讲座上老年人向青少年学习数字技能。A. cancel取消；B. organize组织；C. finance资助；D. attend参加。根据下文“monthly lectures where seniors learn digital skills from teenagers”可知，此处指参加讲座。 42．考查副词。句意：曾昏迷了四年的Kis迫切需要精神上的刺激。A. desperately迫切地，极度地；B. frequently频繁地；C. originally最初；D. temporarily暂时地。根据上文“spent four years in a state of unconsciousness”可知，她非常需要精神上的刺激。 43．考查名词。句意：然而，没有英语技能，她缺乏独自上网的信心。A. confidence信心；B. prejudice偏见；C. judgment判断；D. curiosity好奇心。根据下文“I was afraid to click on things”可知，她不敢操作，缺乏信心。 44．考查动词短语。句意：要是我搞砸了怎么办？A. gave up放弃；B. shut up闭嘴；C. messed up搞砸，弄乱；D. hurried up快点。根据上文“I was afraid to click on things”可知，她担心操作失误、把事情搞砸。 45．考查形容词。句意：通过这个项目，她学会了使用微软翻译——这个“新工具”帮助她感觉不那么脱节了。A. disturbed不安的；B. disconnected脱节的，断开联系的；C. embarrassed尴尬的；D. motivated有动力的。根据上文“she lacks to navigate internet on her own”可知，这个工具让她不再感觉与数字世界脱节。 46．考查动词。句意：这个项目弥合了日益扩大的数字鸿沟。A. ignores忽视；B. accelerates加速；C. creates创造；D. bridges弥合，架桥。根据下文“While 97% of Hungarians aged 15-50 use the internet, 90% of those over 80 do not go online”可知，项目的目的是缩小数字鸿沟，bridge the divide是固定搭配，意为“弥合鸿沟”。 47．考查动词。句意：许多老年人在完成基本任务时都很吃力。A. communicate交流；B. volunteer志愿；C. attempt尝试；D. struggle挣扎，吃力地做。根据上文“90% of those over 80 do not go online”可知，老年人难以完成基本的网络操作任务，struggle with表示“在……方面吃力、挣扎”。 48．考查动词。句意：正如图书馆馆长指出的：“对老年人来说，数字化实际上让他们脱离了群体。”A. shows展示；B. picks挑选；C. leaves使处于（某种状态）；D. crosses穿过。根据上文“90% of those over 80 do not go online”可知，数字化让他们被落下、脱离了主流生活，leave sb. out意为“使某人被冷落/排除在外”。 49．考查名词。句意：青少年志愿者获得了耐心，也得以窥见前数字时代的世界。A. investigations调查；B. insights洞察，了解；C. admission承认；D. entrance入口。根据下文“Talking to them is like going back in time”可知，和老年人交流让他们对过去的世界有了了解。 50．考查名词。句意：这段经历激励他设计更易使用的技术。A. ambition野心；B. experience经历；C. atmosphere氛围；D. experiment实验。根据上文“Talking to them”可知，是这段经历给他带来了启发。 51．考查形容词。句意：这段经历激励他设计更易使用的技术。A. enjoyable愉快的；B. acceptable可接受的；C. accessible易使用的，无障碍的；D. favorable有利的。根据上文“Many seniors with basic tasks”可知，他想要设计更易被老年人使用的、无障碍的技术。 52．考查动词。句意：对于像Kis这样的参与者来说，这些讲座提供的不仅仅是技能。A. offer提供；B. own拥有；C. receive收到；D. gain获得。根据下文“They not only learn to navigate the digital world but also build meaningful”可知，讲座除了技能之外，还提供了更多价值。 53．考查名词。句意：他们不仅学会了在数字世界中导航，还与年轻一代建立了有意义的联系。A. schedules日程；B. connections联系，连接；C. impressions印象；D. reactions反应。根据下文“genuine connection depends on patience”可知，此处指代际之间的联系。 54．考查动词。句意：这座跨越科技鸿沟、朴素却又意义深远的桥梁，提醒着人们真挚的情感联结源于耐心、体谅以及彼此相互学习的共同意愿，并用这些真正重要的本领拉近两代人的距离、融合彼此的生活世界。A. doubles加倍；B. qualifies使合格；C. promises承诺；D. serves起作用，充当。根据下文“as a reminder that genuine connection depends on patience”可知，这个项目充当了提醒的作用。 55．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这座跨越科技鸿沟、朴素却又意义深远的桥梁，提醒着人们真挚的情感联结源于耐心、体谅以及彼此相互学习的共同意愿，并用这些真正重要的本领拉近两代人的距离、融合彼此的生活世界。A. willingness意愿；B. authority权威；C. option选择；D. consideration考虑。根据上文“The benefits extend both ways”可知，老年人向青少年学习数字技能、青少年从老年人身上了解过去，双方都有学习的意愿。 四、语法填空 （本题15分）The Internet Harms Friendships While the Internet can bring people closer together, it can also harm friendships. Firstly, talking online is no 56(1.5分) (replace) for face-to-face contact — images really cannot replace a real-life smile or hug. According to a parenting expert, Denise Daniels, communicating through a screen makes 57(1.5分) more difficult for children to concentrate or show kindness to others. As we know, important social skills are developed through direct contact with other people. It is these skills that enable us 58(1.5分) (develop) lifelong friendships. Secondly, the Internet can make people self-centred—not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves. For example, instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only 59(1.5分) (concern) with their online popularity — How many “likes” did I get? How many followers do I have? — though we know that the number of “likes” or followers cannot compare to having long-term and rewarding friendships. In addition, a lot of the content 60(1.5分) (post) on social media is shallow or trivial. Posts about funny cat images do not 61(1.5分) (necessary) help form meaningful relationships. Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be. Friendships 62(1.5分) (build) on the basis of trust, and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting 63(1.5分) are being honest about who they are. Because of this, going online can be particularly dangerous for people 64(1.5分) are easily influenced or too trusting. In my opinion, friends should focus more on face-to-face communication, and less on online communication. This is the 65(1.5分) (good) way to maintain healthy relationships. 【答案】 56．replacement 57．it 58．to develop 59．concerned 60．posted 61．necessarily 62．are built 63．to/with 64．who 65．best 【导语】本文阐述互联网会对友谊造成伤害，分别从线上交流无法替代面对面接触、容易让人以自我为中心、线上关系存在不确定性几个角度展开，并提出维护健康关系的建议。 【详解】56．考查名词。句意：首先，线上交谈无法取代面对面的交往，图片真的替代不了现实生活中的微笑或是拥抱。no后接名词，动词replace的名词形式replacement，意为“替代品”，作表语。 57．考查形式宾语。句意：育儿专家丹尼斯·丹尼尔斯表示，隔着屏幕交流会让孩子们更难集中注意力或是向他人表达善意。固定结构make it +adj.+for sb. to do sth.，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：正是这些技能让我们能够发展长久的友谊。固定搭配enable sb. to do sth.，不定式作宾语补足语。 59．考查形容词。句意：举例来说，有些人不和朋友进行真正的交流，只在意自己的网络人气。固定搭配be concerned with，表示“关心，在意”，形容词作表语。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，社交媒体上发布的很多内容都肤浅琐碎。content和post“公布；发布”之间是被动关系，用过去分词posted作后置定语。 61．考查副词。句意：有关搞笑猫咪图片的帖子未必有助于建立有意义的人际关系。此处修饰动词help，要用副词形式，形容词necessary的副词necessarily“必须地，必要地”。 62．考查一般现在时被动语态。句意：友谊建立在信任的基础之上。主语Friendships和build“建立”之间为被动关系，陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填入are built。 63．考查介词。句意：在线上交流中，你永远无法百分之百确定和你聊天的人在身份上是诚实的。固定搭配chat with/to sb.，表示“与某人聊天”。 64．考查定语从句。句意：正因如此，上网对于那些容易受影响或者过于轻信他人的人来说格外危险。此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词people指人，从句缺少主语，用关系代词who引导该从句。 65．考查形容词最高级。句意：这是维系健康人际关系的最好方式。结合句意，定冠词the后面接形容词最高级，good的最高级为best，作定语。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你校英文报社正开展以“Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇文章投稿，内容包括： 1.科技带来的便利； 2.科技带来的负面影响； 3.你的观点。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life    Modern technology has greatly changed students’ life. To begin with, it brings huge convenience. We can look up learning materials online anytime and take online courses, which greatly improves study efficiency.     However, its downsides cannot be ignored. Many students get addicted to short videos or online games, wasting lots of study time. Besides, over-reliance on search tools weakens their independent thinking ability.     As far as I’m concerned, we should treat technology wisely. We should make good use of its advantages for study, while staying away from meaningless online entertainment. Only in this way can technology truly serve us well. 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生围绕“Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life”主题撰写征文，内容需包含科技带来的便利、负面影响以及个人观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 效率：efficiency → productivity 沉溺于：get addicted to → be obsessed with 削弱：weaken → lessen 理性地：wisely → rationally 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：We can look up learning materials online anytime and take online courses, which greatly improves study efficiency. 拓展句：We can look up learning materials online anytime and take online courses, improving study efficiency greatly. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Many students get addicted to short videos or online games, wasting lots of study time.(运用了现在分词短语wasting lots of study time作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】Only in this way can technology truly serve us well.(运用了“only+状语”置于句首的部分倒装结构) 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My name is Kael. When my parents got new job offers, our whole family moved across Canada to a quiet northern city, and I had to start my senior-year study at a new high school. Everything felt unfamiliar. I missed my old friends and the warm community I had left behind. On my first school day, I walked through noisy hallways alone, holding my heavy textbook tightly, too nervous to greet anyone. Most classmates chatted happily in small groups, and no one reached out to the quiet new boy. Slowly, I got used to classes, but I still ate lunch by myself. I feared I would never fit in. One afternoon, our biology teacher assigned a group project about local wildlife, which would be presented in class one month later. Students hurried to pick partners, and before I knew it, almost all groups were formed. Just as I prepared to talk to the teacher for special help, a girl named Maren walked towards me. She had dark curly hair and carried a worn field notebook in her hand. She invited me to join her group. Gladly, I accepted. In the following weeks, Maren and I spent lots of time researching and preparing our project. We visited city parks to take photos of wild creatures and shared our ideas freely. Bit by bit, a close friendship grew between us. I finally felt I belonged somewhere. I thought my hard-won friendship would last long. Yet unexpected trouble came two weeks before our project show. Maren’s family received a job transfer notice. She’d move to another province very soon, long before our project was finished. I felt shocked and heartbroken. Just when I was building my first true friendship in this new city, it seemed to slip away. That afternoon after class, we stood beside the school gate under grey clouds. Maren held our shared project notes, her eyes red. I had no idea whether our friendship could survive such a sudden separation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I presented our project done through online meetings with Maren two weeks later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind. I could keep cooperating with Maren online to finish our project perfectly. I immediately shared the thought with her, saying that we shouldn’t waste our efforts. Maren nodded excitedly. In the following days, we stuck to our original plan. We had online meetings every evening, exchanged updated materials and polished our presentation together. Whenever I encountered confusing points about local wildlife, she offered detailed guidance patiently from her new home. We spared no effort to complete the project, treasuring every moment of our long-distance cooperation. I presented our project done through online meetings with Maren two weeks later. My vivid photos, clear analysis and well-organized content won high praise from the teacher and classmates. After the presentation, I told the whole class the special cooperation story between Maren and me. All listeners were deeply touched by our precious friendship. The next day, I sent a full video of the presentation to Maren. She expressed great pride in our joint achievement and said our bond had become stronger despite the distance. This precious experience taught me that true friendship can never be broken by distance. 【导语】本文以转学经历为线索，讲述了Kael搬到陌生城市，在新学校倍感孤独，在生物小组项目中结识Maren并收获珍贵友谊，不料Maren即将搬家，二人面临分离困境，最终决定线上合作完成项目，感悟真挚友谊不惧距离的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由首句内容可知，第一段续写描写Kael突然想到线上协作完成项目的办法，把想法告诉Maren。之后二人坚持每晚线上开会、交换资料、打磨展示内容，Maren即使搬到新家也耐心帮忙，两人珍惜这次远程合作。 ②由首句内容可知，第二段续写描写Kael在课堂展示项目，精彩内容收获师生好评。他向全班讲述自己和Maren的特殊合作故事，随后把展示视频发给Maren，两人感悟真正的友谊不会被距离隔断。 2. 续写线索：萌生想法→线上商议→远程协作→课堂展示→讲述故事→分享视频→感悟友谊真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①. 合作：cooperate/collaborate ②. 打磨：polish/refine ③. 珍惜：treasure/value 情绪类 ①. 激动的：excited/thrilled ②. 珍贵的：precious/valuable 【点睛】[高分句型1].

I thought I might find it with my downstairs neighbors, a grad-student couple with an army of cats. Maybe with my friends from high school, though we had drifted apart over the years. Maybe back at the community theater, where I’d just tried out for a play and felt easy with the assistant director, a woman my age who I could imagine becoming a friend. And while all those connections have become dear to me since, none of them hold a candle to the bond I found in my then-56-year-old castmate, who brought his own objects to rehearsal and made references I didn’t understand. When I met Ken, I initially found him bold but kind. He’d make a joke, then immediately look me in the eye and apologize, visibly embarrassed by his own words, as if he couldn’t believe he’d said something inappropriate in front of me. I’d sniff and then he’d look shocked for a different reason. It felt like we were, in real time, discovering that the gaps of difference between us actually had islands of common ground. There are certain threads that tie us together in ways we didn’t expect. At first, they just seemed superficial, like our love for horror movies and dark Irish comedy. But we both remember the first time we were truly vulnerable with each other as the real start to our friendship. Now I’m 28 and Ken is 60, and our connection has grown into something I couldn’t replace because we took a chance on each other, a choice that research increasingly suggests people across generations would benefit from making. Friendships like ours might look unusual, but they are seriously good for your health. According to a 2023 study published in The Journal of Aging Studies, there are cognitive, physical and psychosocial benefits for younger and older adults who regularly interact across generational lines. 24．(2.5分)How did the author feel when she first returned to her hometown? A．Somewhat distant from her high school friends. B．Expecting to find community with her neighbors. C．Unlikely to form an intergenerational friendship. D．Uncertain about where to find a sense of community. 25．(2.5分)What contributed to the actual start of the author and Ken’s friendship? A．Their similar taste in movies. B．Their being open and vulnerable. C．Their easy talk in the theater. D．Their shared funny experiences. 26．(2.5分)What will the author most probably discuss next? A．Details of the 2023 study. B．More shared hobbies with Ken. C．Reasons for making older friends. D．Other stories of cross-age friendships. 27．(2.5分)Why did the author write the text? A．To share her newfound friendship with Ken. B．To encourage people to make elderly friends. C．To show benefits of crossing age in friendship. D．To introduce advantages of close friendships. （本题10分）On the day of the 2010 U.S. midterm elections, researchers conducted a massive experiment on 61 million Facebook users. Some were shown a reminder to vote and a link to find their polling (投票) place; others saw a version of the same post displaying faces of their friends who had already voted. The social message was much more effective at getting out the vote, driving 340,000 people to the polls. The study is an influential example of how online networks can influence people’s behavior. But it was a one-off. “The 2010 election happens only once,” says Sadegh Shirani, a PhD student in operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “It’s never going to happen again.” By their nature, giant social experiments can’t be easily rerun to test new hypotheses (假设) or study different conditions. Setting them up in the first place can be expensive, and some questions are difficult to investigate without raising ethical concerns. Shirani and Mohsen Bayati, a professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford GSB, wondered if they could create a virtual world where they could run behavioral experiments as often as they liked. In a new study, they developed a realistic simulation (模拟) populated by 20,000 AI-powered digital “agents” that copied human behavior in a social network. The researchers showed the agents messages based on those used in the 2010 Facebook experiment. They found that their simulation generally produced the same results as that earlier study: A message mentioning social connections increased voter turnout more than an impersonal informational post. However, the effect of seeing the social message was much stronger than what the real-world experiment had found. The results suggest that simulations “capture the big picture, but they’re missing a lot of the detail,” Shirani says. Still, this virtual environment could help researchers broadly test the effectiveness of different interventions. “You can run a type of experiment that you cannot ever do in the real world,” Bayati says. “You can live the life twice.” 28．(2.5分)What kind of post is effective according to the 2010 experiment? A．A post with clear instructions. B．A post with a strong reminder. C．A post carrying social connections. D．A post viewed by millions of people. 29．(2.5分)What does Shirani think of the 2010 experiment? A．It is a waste of money. B．It is impossible to repeat. C．It has raised ethical concerns. D．It has significant implications. 30．(2.5分)What does Shirani and Bayati’s new study show? A．Realistic simulations can be effective. B．Digital agents are more sensitive than real people. C．Simulations can copy every detail of real experiments. D．Virtual experiments can take the place of real-world ones. 31．(2.5分)Which aspect of the simulation does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．Its research value. B．Its technical limitation. C．Its working principle. D．Its future development. （本题10分）Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 32．(2.5分)What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A．Its huge amount of data. B．Its high cost of daily maintenance. C．Its poor storage conditions. D．Its reliance on changing technology. 33．(2.5分)What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A．Digital access makes them unnecessary. B．They prefer to store physical materials. C．Researchers no longer need archives. D．Digitizing collections is very easy. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A．To introduce a popular storage device. B．To show the short lifespan of hardware. C．To prove the necessity of format updates. D．To compare different digital saving methods. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B．Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C．Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D．The contribution of libraries should be recognized. （本题12.5分）Sharing has always been an important part of human culture. Whether it’s sharing food, stories, or ideas, people have always found joy and benefit in giving and receiving. In today’s fast-paced world, the act of sharing has taken on new forms, especially online. 36(2.5分) One common way people share online is through social media platforms. These platforms have become virtual gathering places which allow users to post updates, photos, and videos for their friends and followers to see. Sharing in this way can help people stay connected with loved ones who live far away. 37(2.5分) It also provides a space for people to express their unique personalities and share their viewpoints with a wider audience.

Users can actively contribute to and edit content, leading to a collective pool of wisdom that benefits the entire global community. 38(2.5分) It encourages teamwork and cooperation. By working together, people can create and improve resources that benefit the entire community. 39(2.5分) With the vast amount of information available at our fingertips, it becomes increasingly difficult to know what is trustworthy. Not all shared content is accurate or reliable, and misinformation can spread rapidly. 40(2.5分) Sharing personal information online can risk privacy by allowing unauthorized access and misuse of data. By understanding the complexities and potential risks associated with sharing, we can strive (努力) towards a more responsible, informed, and mindful approach to sharing in the digital age. A．Sharing content without context can lead to misunderstandings. B．But the essence of it is still to connect and enrich others’ lives. C．This serves as a source of entertainment and social interaction. D．Despite the benefits of online sharing, there are also challenges.

She isn’t there to read, but to 41 Netrevalók — monthly lectures where seniors learn digital skills from teenagers. Kis, who spent four years in a state of unconsciousness, 42 needs mental stimulation. However, without English skills, she lacks 43 to navigate internet on her own. “I was afraid to click on things. What if I 44 ?” Through the program, she has learned to use Microsoft Translate — a “new tool” helping her feel less 45 . The program 46 a growing digital divide. While 97% of Hungarians aged 15-50 use the internet, 90% of those over 80 do not go online. Many seniors 47 with basic tasks. As the library director points out, “For the elderly, going digital actually 48 them out.” The benefits extend both ways. Teen volunteers gain patience and 49 into a pre-digital world. “Talking to them is like going back in time,” says 19-year-old Sagie Fruchter. The 50 inspires him to design more 51 technology. For participants like Kis, the lectures 52 more than skills. They not only learn to navigate the digital world but also build meaningful 53 with younger generations. This simple yet powerful bridge across the technological divide 54 as a reminder that genuine connection depends on patience, understanding, and a mutual 55 to learn from one another — using the skills that truly matter to bring their worlds together. 41．(1分)A．cancel B．organize C．finance D．attend 42．(1分)A．desperately B．frequently C．originally D．temporarily 43．(1分)A．confidence B．prejudice C．judgment D．curiosity 44．(1分)A．gave up B．shut up C．messed up D．hurried up 45．(1分)A．disturbed B．disconnected C．embarrassed D．motivated 46．(1分)A．ignores B．accelerates C．creates D．bridges 47．(1分)A．communicate B．volunteer C．attempt D．struggle 48．(1分)A．shows B．picks C．leaves D．crosses 49．(1分)A．investigations B．insights C．admission D．entrance 50．(1分)A．ambition B．experience C．atmosphere D．experiment 51．(1分)A．enjoyable B．acceptable C．accessible D．favorable 52．(1分)A．offer B．own C．receive D．gain 53．(1分)A．schedules B．connections C．impressions D．reactions 54．(1分)A．doubles B．qualifies C．promises D．serves 55．(1分)A．willingness B．authority C．option D．consideration 四、语法填空 （本题15分）The Internet Harms Friendships While the Internet can bring people closer together, it can also harm friendships. Firstly, talking online is no 56(1.5分) (replace) for face-to-face contact — images really cannot replace a real-life smile or hug. According to a parenting expert, Denise Daniels, communicating through a screen makes 57(1.5分) more difficult for children to concentrate or show kindness to others. As we know, important social skills are developed through direct contact with other people. It is these skills that enable us 58(1.5分) (develop) lifelong friendships. Secondly, the Internet can make people self-centred—not thinking of anyone or anything but themselves. For example, instead of having proper conversations with their friends, some people are only 59(1.5分) (concern) with their online popularity — How many “likes” did I get? How many followers do I have? — though we know that the number of “likes” or followers cannot compare to having long-term and rewarding friendships. In addition, a lot of the content 60(1.5分) (post) on social media is shallow or trivial. Posts about funny cat images do not 61(1.5分) (necessary) help form meaningful relationships. Thirdly, online relationships may not be what they appear to be. Friendships 62(1.5分) (build) on the basis of trust, and with online communication you can never be 100 percent sure that the people you are chatting 63(1.5分) are being honest about who they are. Because of this, going online can be particularly dangerous for people 64(1.5分) are easily influenced or too trusting. In my opinion, friends should focus more on face-to-face communication, and less on online communication. This is the 65(1.5分) (good) way to maintain healthy relationships. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你校英文报社正开展以“Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇文章投稿，内容包括： 1.科技带来的便利； 2.科技带来的负面影响； 3.你的观点。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Changes Brought by Modern Technology in Students’ Life _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 My name is Kael. When my parents got new job offers, our whole family moved across Canada to a quiet northern city, and I had to start my senior-year study at a new high school. Everything felt unfamiliar. I missed my old friends and the warm community I had left behind. On my first school day, I walked through noisy hallways alone, holding my heavy textbook tightly, too nervous to greet anyone. Most classmates chatted happily in small groups, and no one reached out to the quiet new boy. Slowly, I got used to classes, but I still ate lunch by myself. I feared I would never fit in. One afternoon, our biology teacher assigned a group project about local wildlife, which would be presented in class one month later. Students hurried to pick partners, and before I knew it, almost all groups were formed. Just as I prepared to talk to the teacher for special help, a girl named Maren walked towards me. She had dark curly hair and carried a worn field notebook in her hand. She invited me to join her group. Gladly, I accepted. In the following weeks, Maren and I spent lots of time researching and preparing our project. We visited city parks to take photos of wild creatures and shared our ideas freely. Bit by bit, a close friendship grew between us. I finally felt I belonged somewhere. I thought my hard-won friendship would last long. Yet unexpected trouble came two weeks before our project show. Maren’s family received a job transfer notice. She’d move to another province very soon, long before our project was finished. I felt shocked and heartbroken. Just when I was building my first true friendship in this new city, it seemed to slip away. That afternoon after class, we stood beside the school gate under grey clouds. Maren held our shared project notes, her eyes red. I had no idea whether our friendship could survive such a sudden separation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I presented our project done through online meetings with Maren two weeks later. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 evening. My name is doctor am a read, and i'm a sleep researcher. Over the past two years, my team has been studying a very common modern habit, the use of smart fans and tablets in bed. Before sleep, we surveyed over one thousand adults and monitor the sleep patterns of two hundred volunteers. Our findings are clear. The blue light emitted by these screens tricks the brain into thinking it's still daytime. This suppresses the production of mala tonen, the hormone that signals our body is time to sleep. As a result, people who use devices before bed take longer to fall asleep and report poor sleep quality. Overall, even if they sleep for the same number of hours, they also feel less rested in the morning. So what can you you do? The most effective solution is to create a digital sunset for yourself. That means turning off all screens, phones, laptops, tvs, at least sixty minutes before your plan bedtime, use that time to read a physical book, listen to calm music, or practice gentle stretching. Your brain and body will thank you for IT. Good evening. My name is doctor am a read, and i'm a sleep researcher.
