W: What about your first job? And what did you gain from it? M: I first worked at a local video shop that had a section of unclassifiable films. These films made up their own rules and always left me feeling as if something inside me had changed. They also proved that the medium of film could change someone’s views of the world, and that made me more determined to pursue filmmaking. W: And yet you claim that you don’t make art films. M: Even though I want to make this type of film, it is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message through understandable films, using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concepts. By the way, I am not interested in art films that follow a predictable pattern. （本题4.5分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)What influences the speaker’s choices in card game competitions? A．Time limits.

B．Games should be about having fun. C．Pressure affects thinking in games. 【答案】18．B 19．B 20．C 【原文】      M: When I was young, I used to play card games. Unlike many people, I didn’t play for fun, but competed in competitions. Hundreds of players go to a large building, usually a hotel, and play against each other with strict rules. I did this until I was a teenager. The competition was strong. The interesting thing about playing card games in competitions is how the watching crowd affects your ability to make decisions. Card games are all about thinking about moves. This is something we all have to do every day. The cool thing about card games is that they keep your thoughts away from everything else. It is pure thinking. But, in competitions, people make simple mistakes that would seem crazy when playing for fun. In real life, we don’t get to see our decisions and their results so clearly as with card games. However, people watching and judging your moves affects your thinking more than you can imagine. For me, that is the real lesson of card games. It is a lesson I still remember as an adult. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Four Must-See Shows: From Broadway to Holiday MagicFunny Girl The amazing Broadway revival (复兴) impresses with celebrated classic songs, including “Don’t Rain On My Parade” and “People”. This bittersweet comedy is the story of the never-say-die Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something interesting happened — she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.Mannheim Steamroller Christmas This has been America’s favorite holiday tradition for more than 35 years! The family-friendly program includes 15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments against a backdrop of multimedia effects, reflecting the spirit of the season in an immersive setting.Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best friends. Piggie is more excited than usual. That’s because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels (松鼠). And so begins a day when anything is possible. Coming to life from Mo Willems’ award-winning children’s books, the musical experience will leave audiences doing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance all night long! Our Theater for Young Audiences program focuses on performances produced especially for Pre-K through 3rd Grade audiences but welcomes all ages.A Christmas Carol This is a joyous musical adaptation for the whole family that follows curmudgeon (吝啬鬼) Ebenezer Scrooge’s overnight journey to becoming a better person.

They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year. Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. ‌“We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile. The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls. Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism. Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. ‌“The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently. Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000. 24．(2.5分)The author uses the example of ‌“tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______. A．highlight Billy’s organizational skills B．criticize inefficient editing processes C．compare teenage and adult work habits D．explain the newspaper’s digital transition 25．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage? A．Impractical. B．Ambitious. C．Cautious. D．Stubborn. 26．(2.5分)What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly? A．Parental financial support for printing costs. B．Digital expansion over print distribution. C．Complete independence and community impact. D．Maximizing profits for personal gain. 27．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage? A．The decline of traditional print media in New York. B．Challenges faced by young businessmen in media. C．The history of student-run newspapers in the United States. D．Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了以比利·斯特恩为首的一群青少年，在纽约创办并运营一份完全由13-17岁年轻人撰稿和编辑的独立季节性报纸《The Ditch Weekly》的故事，展示了他们在数字时代对纸媒的探索、坚持独立运营的决心以及展现出的企业家精神。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field.(15岁的编辑比利·斯特恩(Billy Stern)在电脑上使用颜色编码的规划文件来监控进度，该文件跟踪已完成的文章，包括关于当地夏令营和在以前的棒球场上新建医院的专题报道)”可知，作者通过描述比利使用彩色编码文件跟踪文章进度，主要是为了展现作为青少年编辑的比利·斯特恩在组织和项目管理方面的能力。故选A项。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising.(现在，他们拥有20名青少年员工，雄心勃勃的目标包括每周发行2000份，资金全部来自当地广告)”以及第五段中“After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model.(在放弃海滩食品销售等想法后，他向印刷商询问生产成本，并研究了《星报》的广告费率，以创建一个可行的商业模式)”可知，比利不仅有远大的目标，还通过实际行动来实现这些目标，体现出了他的雄心壮志。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism.(他们决心保持完全独立，不依赖父母，他们有一个更远大的使命：鼓励年轻人远离屏幕，复兴印刷新闻业)”可知，青少年在运营《The Ditch Weekly》时强调完全独立和对社区(特别是年轻人)的影响。故选C项。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“On a Saturday morning, five teenage reporters filed into a busy New York office, red pens in hand, for a two-hour working session. They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year.(一个周六的早晨，五名青少年记者手持红笔，鱼贯步入繁忙的纽约办公室，开始了为期两小时的工作会议。他们正为《The Ditch Weekly》精心修改稿件——这份季节性报纸完全由13至17岁的青少年撰稿编辑。通过精炼生硬的句子、调整形容词，他们将共同完善本年度的首期报纸)”以及文章后续描述他们如何创办、运营这份独立报纸，并实现盈利和扩大影响可知，文章主要讲述了一群青少年如何创新地创办并独立运营一份实体报纸，展现了年轻一代对新闻业的热情和探索。故D项“Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. (青少年对独立新闻业的创新探索)”能概括文章主旨。故选D项。 （本题10分）For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, dramas and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. For most of TV’s history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street. However, that seems no longer to be so. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want to through streaming services, whenever we want to and wherever we want to. The services have given us access to more content than ever before, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies. It’s not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels. Social media sites also bring competition to traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more and shorter clips (片段) at their convenience. In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, the figure was around 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn’t look like it will change any time soon. While the demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch Channel One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service. While traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere any time soon. Most major TV channels have their own streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the UK channels have begun making content that’s only available through its iPlayer service. Channel Three allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first. So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going. 28．(2.5分)What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The advantages of streaming services. B．The popularity of traditional TV channels. C．The competition among streaming services. D．The effects of the Internet on people’s lives. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Analyzing official figures. B．The changing viewing habit. C．Preferring to watch short videos. D．The great demand for UK channels. 30．(2.5分)What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences? A．Enrich their content. B．Put on older TV shows. C．Provide streaming services. D．Seek help from video makers. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Goodbye, Traditional TV Networks B．How Were Traditional TV Networks Formed? C．People’s Ways of Entertainment Change with the Times D．Will Traditional TV Be Replaced by Streaming Services? 【答案】28．A 29．B 30．C 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍流媒体服务等对传统电视的冲击，以及传统电视的应对，探讨传统电视是否会被流媒体取代。 【详解】28．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want to through streaming services, whenever we want to and wherever we want to. The services have given us access to more content than ever before, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies. (如今，我们可以通过流媒体服务在任何时间、任何地点观看任何我们想看的内容。这些服务让我们能够获取比以往更多的内容，包括经典节目和电影的往期目录。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了流媒体服务的优势。故选A项。 29．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, the figure was around 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn’t look like it will change any time soon. (在英国，成年人花在流媒体服务上的时间比以往任何时候都多。2018年，这一数字约为每天26分钟。这是过去十年的趋势，而且短期内似乎不会改变。)”可知，“This”指的是上文提到的“成年人在流媒体服务上花费更多时间”这一不断变化的观看习惯。故选B项。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Most major TV channels have their own streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. (大多数主要电视频道都有自己的流媒体服务，这大大提高了它们的收视率。)”可知，主要电视频道通过提供流媒体服务来吸引更多观众。故选C项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章先是介绍流媒体服务和社交媒体给传统电视带来的冲击，接着说明传统电视仍有一定受众且在通过自身的流媒体服务积极应对，最后提出“虽然约50%的家庭至少订阅了一项流媒体服务，但电视的未来走向仍不明确”，因此“传统电视会被流媒体服务取代吗？”与文章的主题吻合，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。 （本题10分）In the early years of televised news, Americans turned to the serious faces of newsmen as trusted sources (来源) for news of the important events in America and around the world, broadcast with controlled voices. The rise of comedy-news programs raised concerns over the combination of entertainment and news. But could this combination actually help inform (告知) the public? A study from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Communication at Ohio State University found that, when compared to non-humorous news clips (片段), viewers are not only more likely to share humorously presented news but are also more likely to remember the content from these clips. “It is really important for young people to engage with news to be informed about public issues,” says senior author Emily Falk, Professor of Communication, Psychology, and Marketing at Annenberg. “We wanted to test whether humor might make news more socially related, and therefore encourage young people to remember it and share it.” The researchers invited young adults (18—34 years old) to watch a variety of news clips, which they designed to vary, so that some ended with jokes and others did not. In addition to collecting data on participants’ brain activity using FMRI technology, the researchers did a memory test to find out how much information participants remembered after watching the clips. The researchers also asked participants to answer questions about how likely they would be to share the news clips with others. Participants were more likely to remember information when it was presented in a humorous rather than non-humorous way and were more willing to share the information online. “Our findings show that humor stimulates activity in brain regions, improves memory for news facts, and increases the desire to share information with others,” says lead author Jason Coronel, Assistant Professor of Communication at OSU. “This is very significant because entertainment-based media has become an important source of news, especially for young adults.” 32．(2.5分)What can we learn about early American viewers according to the first paragraph? A．They showed great interest in entertainment news. B．They paid more attention to international news. C．They enjoyed comedy programs very much. D．They preferred serious newsmen. 33．(2.5分)What did the study find? A．Humor makes news more reliable and professional. B．Humor helps keep young adults informed about news. C．Young adults are more likely to share news with each other. D．Young adults are used to watching news clips on the Internet. 34．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the study was carried out. B．Why the study was different. C．The importance of the study. D．The results of the study. 35．(2.5分)What does Coronel say about the study? A．It has encouraged more young adults to major in journalism. B．It has offered new ways to receive news for young adults. C．It supports the importance of light-hearted news. D．It will raise concerns over the news industry. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最新研究表明新闻通过幽默的方式传播更易被年轻人记住和分享。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the early years of televised news, Americans turned to the serious faces of newsmen as trusted sources (来源) for news of the important events in America and around the world, broadcast with controlled voices. (在电视新闻的早期，美国人把严肃的面孔作为可靠的消息来源，以冷静的声音播报美国和世界各地的重大事件。)”可知，早期的美国观众更喜欢严肃的新闻记者。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“A study from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Communication at Ohio State University found that, when compared to non-humorous news clips (片段), viewers are not only more likely to share humorously presented news but are also more likely to remember the content from these clips. (宾夕法尼亚大学安嫩伯格传播学院和俄亥俄州立大学传播学院的一项研究发现，与非幽默的新闻片段相比，观众不仅更有可能分享幽默的新闻，而且更有可能记住这些片段的内容。)”和第四段中“The researchers invited young adults (18—34 years old) to watch a variety of news clips (研究人员邀请年轻人(18—34岁)观看各种新闻剪辑)”可知，该研究发现幽默可以让年轻人更愿意了解和分享新闻。故选B项。 34．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers invited young adults (18—34 years old) to watch a variety of news clips, which they designed to vary, so that some ended with jokes and others did not. In addition to collecting data on participants’ brain activity using FMRI technology, the researchers did a memory test to find out how much information participants remembered after watching the clips. The researchers also asked participants to answer questions about how likely they would be to share the news clips with others. (研究人员邀请年轻人(18—34岁)观看各种各样的新闻片段，他们设计了不同的新闻片段，以便一些以笑话结尾，而另一些则没有。除了使用功能磁共振成像技术收集参与者的大脑活动数据外，研究人员还进行了记忆测试，以了解参与者在观看视频片段后记住了多少信息。研究人员还要求参与者回答有关他们与他人分享新闻片段的可能性的问题。)”可知，作者在本段主要介绍的是该研究的实施过程。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Jason Coronel所说的话“This is very significant because entertainment-based media has become an important source of news, especially for young adults. (这一点非常重要，因为以娱乐为基础的媒体已经成为重要的新闻来源，尤其是对年轻人来说。)”可推知，Coronel认为该研究证明了轻松愉快的新闻的重要性。故选C项。 （本题12.5分）Take a battlefield tour of WW I in 1917 On Labor Day, I watched a British movie named 1917.

The movie is not only known for its unbroken shot (连续镜头) but also for its adaptation of a true story from its director Sam Mendes’ grandfather. Through the eyes of Blake and Schofield, the movie shows the horror of a war that cost the lives of countless innocent people.

We ought to always think about how we can prevent war and how we can achieve peace. A．It can lead to disorder B．The radio line was down C．They join the army during World War I D．There never was a good war, or a bad peace E．They are ordered to report for a new assignment F．We also know that we should always try our best to defend the former G．It takes place in and around the so-called “no man’s land” in northern France 【答案】36．G 37．E 38．B 39．D 40．F 【导语】本文是篇说明文。作者通过对一部反映了第一次世界大战的英国电影《1917》的详细介绍，表达了人们应该阻止战争、珍惜和平的愿望。 【详解】36．上一句中“1917 is set in the disorder and confusion of World War I.”（《1917》的背景是第一次世界大战的无序和混乱）提到了第一次世界大战，选项G“它发生在法国北部所谓的‘无人区’及其周围”中的“It takes place”继续说明了一战发生的地点，衔接合理；下一句中的“separating British and German troops.”（将英国和德国的军队分隔开了。）表明了空处应该提到了某处地点，而选项G中的“in and around the so-called “no man’s land” in northern France”恰好指出了一战发生的地点，符合语意。故选G。 37．上一句“Blake and Schofield, are awakened from what could have only been a few minutes of sleep.”（两名英国年轻士兵，布莱克和斯科菲尔德，从原本只有几分钟的睡眠中醒来。）提到Blake和Schofield被从睡梦中叫醒了，选项E“他们奉命报到接受新任务”说明了被叫醒的原因，衔接合理，符合语境。故选E。 38．根据下一句“so Blake and Schofield are ordered to head on foot to that company in order to call off the attack before it can start, a journey that, will force them to travel through the enemy territory. ”（所以Blake和Schofield奉命步行前往那家连队，以便在进攻开始前取消进攻，这将迫使他们穿越敌方领土）可知，空处应该是说明二人奉命步行赶往连队的原因，选项B“无线电线路坏了”，因为无法用电讯设备通知连队取消进攻，只好派二人步行前往，合情合理，符合语境。故选B。 39．根据前文的“Through the eyes of Blake and Schofield, the movie shows the horror of a war that cost the lives of countless innocent people.”（这部电影通过Blake和Schofield的眼睛，展示了一场夺去无数无辜生命的战争的恐怖。）可知，作者认为战争都是残酷的，都是以牺牲生命为代价的；上一句“As US scientist Benjamin once said”（正如美国科学家本杰明曾经说过的），结合常识和作者的观点，选项D“从来没有好的战争，也没有坏的和平”是本杰明曾说过的话，也符合语意。故选D。 40．根据上一句的“Through this classic and moving movie, we can learn the preciousness of peace and the evil of war. ”（通过这部经典感人的电影，我们可以了解到和平的珍贵和战争的邪恶。）和下一句的“We ought to always think about how we can prevent war and how we can achieve peace.”（我们应该经常思考如何防止战争，如何实现和平。）可知，空处应该是以“we”为主语的句子；选项F中的“also know”与上一句的“learn”相对应；“the former”指的是上一句中的“peace”（和平），所以选项F是指“我们也知道我们总是应该尽最大的努力来捍卫和平”，与下文句意相连，符合语境。故选F。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Maxwell Riseman is a senior and a motivational creator on social media.

It ends with all of us shouting, “We can make it!” I believe this video deserves to be shown because it records the small, real moments of our final high school days — the nervousness, the determination and the silent support. Having already touched many classmates, it may comfort and motivate more students facing exam pressure. Thank you for your consideration.

Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays. Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary. They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script. Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed. For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play. 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。 On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. The play started. Clara, the main character, faced many problems, but she didn’t give up. The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage. When Clara stood under the oak tree in the end, saying “I’ll keep going, no matter how hard it gets,” everyone clapped hard. Suddenly, a voice shouted, “Good job!” It was Elena, sitting in the back row. Her eyes were shining with tears, and her hands were shaking. The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her. Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. “Thank you,” she said, voice shaking. “Those lines — ‘determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see’ — are mine. I dreamed of acting in my own play, but the illness made me stop. I thought my story with Clara ended. However, you brought us both back.” She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived. The students felt warm — they gave a forgotten dream a second chance, realizing small kindnesses bridge years, and that dreams, however long delayed, are always worth remembering. 【导语】本文以阳光谷高中戏剧社成员的经历为线索，讲述了他们在为学校百年校庆准备戏剧时，发现了1972年学生埃琳娜因生病未完成的剧本《星光梦想》及日记，决定完成该剧本并邀请埃琳娜观看的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“校庆当天，学校礼堂座无虚席。”可知，第一段可描写庆典当天，戏剧《星光梦想》上演，主角克拉拉的台词打动观众，埃琳娜在后排激动喝彩，众人纷纷看向她的情景。 ② 由第二段首句内容“埃琳娜激动地站起来，跑向舞台。”可知，第二段可描写埃琳娜上台感谢大家，讲述自己的梦想因疾病中断，如今被延续的感动，与学生们拥抱，众人感受到善意与梦想的力量。 2. 续写线索：庆典上演——观众被打动——埃琳娜喝彩——埃琳娜上台——讲述经历——拥抱学生——感悟意义 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap/applaud ②颤抖：shake/tremble ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①激动：excited/thrilled ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage.（运用了独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。If you are on this T, V show, what topic would you answer questions on?

And yet you claim that you don't make art films even . though I want to make this type of film. IT is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message through understandable films using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concept.

They also proved that the medium of film can change someone's views of the world, and that made me more determined to pursue filmmaker. And yet you claim that you don't make art films. Even though I want to make this type of film, IT is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message to films using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concepts. By the way, I am not interested in art films that follow a predictable pattern. Listen to the next question. When I was Young, I used to play card games. Unlike many people, I didn't play for fun, but competed in competitions. Hundreds of players go to a large building, usually a hotel, and play against each other with strict rules. I did this until I was a teenager. The competition was strong. The interesting thing about playing card games in competition is how the watching crowd affects your ability to make decisions. Card games are all about thinking about moves. This is something we all have to do everyday. The cool thing about card games is that they keep your thoughts away from everything else. IT is pure thinking, but in competitions, people make simple mistakes that would seem crazy when playing for fun. N in real life, we don't get to see our decisions and their results. So clearly, as with card games, however, people watching and judging your moves affects your thinking more than you can imagine. For me, that is the real lesson of card games. IT is a lesson I still remember as an adult. When I was Young, I used to play card games. Unlike many people, I didn't play for fun, but competed in competitions.

They carefully improved articles for The Ditch Weekly — a seasonal newspaper entirely written and edited by 13-to-17-year-olds — tightening awkward sentences and changing adjectives to perfect their first issue of the year. Fifteen-year-old editor Billy Stern monitored progress using a color-coded planning document on his computer, which tracked completed articles including features on local summer camps and the construction of a new hospital on a former baseball field. Turning to his 15-year-old friend Teddy Rattray, the paper’s best columnist (专栏作者), he sought ideas for an upcoming restaurant review. ‌“We still haven’t done hot dogs,” Teddy suggested with a smile. The operation has grown significantly smoother since the boys launched their newspaper last year. Billy initially sought a summer job more challenging than his usual work at a food truck, and after publishing 10 successful issues last summer, the team continued this year — plotting their comeback during English class discussions and late-night FaceTime calls. Now with a staff of 20 teenagers, their ambitious goals include distributing (分配) 2,000 weekly copies funded entirely through local advertising. Determined to maintain complete independence from parental involvement, they have a deeper mission: to encourage young people to disconnect from screens and revive (复苏) the print journalism. Though launching a print publication amid (处于……状况中) industry-wide decline might seem unconventional, Billy conducted thorough research before launching in 2023. After giving up ideas like beach food vending, he asked printers for production costs and studied The Star’s advertising rates to create a practical business model. ‌“The numbers worked out,” he noted confidently. Despite ongoing industry challenges, The Ditch Weekly has achieved remarkable profits. While declining to reveal exact figures, the paper says staff writers earn $50-$70 per article, with weekly printing costs averaging $9,000. 24．(2.5分)The author uses the example of ‌“tracking completed articles with a color-coded document” in Paragraph 2 mainly to ______. A．highlight Billy’s organizational skills B．criticize inefficient editing processes C．compare teenage and adult work habits D．explain the newspaper’s digital transition 25．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Billy Stern based on the passage? A．Impractical. B．Ambitious. C．Cautious. D．Stubborn. 26．(2.5分)What do the teenagers emphasize in running The Ditch Weekly? A．Parental financial support for printing costs. B．Digital expansion over print distribution. C．Complete independence and community impact. D．Maximizing profits for personal gain. 27．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the passage? A．The decline of traditional print media in New York. B．Challenges faced by young businessmen in media. C．The history of student-run newspapers in the United States. D．Teenagers’ innovative approach to independent journalism. （本题10分）For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, dramas and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. For most of TV’s history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street. However, that seems no longer to be so. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want to through streaming services, whenever we want to and wherever we want to. The services have given us access to more content than ever before, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies. It’s not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels. Social media sites also bring competition to traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more and shorter clips (片段) at their convenience. In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, the figure was around 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn’t look like it will change any time soon. While the demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch Channel One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service. While traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere any time soon. Most major TV channels have their own streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the UK channels have begun making content that’s only available through its iPlayer service. Channel Three allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first. So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going. 28．(2.5分)What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The advantages of streaming services. B．The popularity of traditional TV channels. C．The competition among streaming services. D．The effects of the Internet on people’s lives. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Analyzing official figures. B．The changing viewing habit. C．Preferring to watch short videos. D．The great demand for UK channels. 30．(2.5分)What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences? A．Enrich their content. B．Put on older TV shows. C．Provide streaming services. D．Seek help from video makers. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．Goodbye, Traditional TV Networks B．How Were Traditional TV Networks Formed? C．People’s Ways of Entertainment Change with the Times D．Will Traditional TV Be Replaced by Streaming Services? （本题10分）In the early years of televised news, Americans turned to the serious faces of newsmen as trusted sources (来源) for news of the important events in America and around the world, broadcast with controlled voices. The rise of comedy-news programs raised concerns over the combination of entertainment and news. But could this combination actually help inform (告知) the public? A study from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Communication at Ohio State University found that, when compared to non-humorous news clips (片段), viewers are not only more likely to share humorously presented news but are also more likely to remember the content from these clips. “It is really important for young people to engage with news to be informed about public issues,” says senior author Emily Falk, Professor of Communication, Psychology, and Marketing at Annenberg. “We wanted to test whether humor might make news more socially related, and therefore encourage young people to remember it and share it.” The researchers invited young adults (18—34 years old) to watch a variety of news clips, which they designed to vary, so that some ended with jokes and others did not. In addition to collecting data on participants’ brain activity using FMRI technology, the researchers did a memory test to find out how much information participants remembered after watching the clips. The researchers also asked participants to answer questions about how likely they would be to share the news clips with others. Participants were more likely to remember information when it was presented in a humorous rather than non-humorous way and were more willing to share the information online. “Our findings show that humor stimulates activity in brain regions, improves memory for news facts, and increases the desire to share information with others,” says lead author Jason Coronel, Assistant Professor of Communication at OSU. “This is very significant because entertainment-based media has become an important source of news, especially for young adults.” 32．(2.5分)What can we learn about early American viewers according to the first paragraph? A．They showed great interest in entertainment news. B．They paid more attention to international news. C．They enjoyed comedy programs very much. D．They preferred serious newsmen. 33．(2.5分)What did the study find? A．Humor makes news more reliable and professional. B．Humor helps keep young adults informed about news. C．Young adults are more likely to share news with each other. D．Young adults are used to watching news clips on the Internet. 34．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the study was carried out. B．Why the study was different. C．The importance of the study. D．The results of the study. 35．(2.5分)What does Coronel say about the study? A．It has encouraged more young adults to major in journalism. B．It has offered new ways to receive news for young adults. C．It supports the importance of light-hearted news. D．It will raise concerns over the news industry. （本题12.5分）Take a battlefield tour of WW I in 1917 On Labor Day, I watched a British movie named 1917.

Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays. Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary. They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script. Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed. For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play. 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。 On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
