Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood? A．She learned Kong fu for fun. B．She was interested in poems. C．She met Chinese culture early. D．She had a gift for Chinese dance. 25．(2.5分)What awakened Zhang Xueling's curiosity in Luoyang? A．The magical works of museums. B．The atmosphere of Hanfu lovers. C．The long history of Yingtian Gate. D．The classical makeup of local girls. 26．(2.5分)What made Zhang Xueling win the competition? A．Her family's support and wish. B．Her experience of wearing Hanfu. C．Her nice speech and graceful dance. D．Her deep love for ancient Luoyang. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded from Zhang Xueling's story? A．A positive mind leads to success. B．Traditional culture should be updated. C．True passion connects different cultures. D．Mistakes can be reduced through practice. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文讲述印尼留学生张雪玲从小接触中国舞蹈和功夫，后在洛阳被汉服氛围唤醒对中国文化的热爱，凭借融合汉服与舞蹈的英文演讲比赛斩获大奖，用热爱搭建起中外文化沟通桥梁的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kongfu(五岁时，妈妈就给她报了中国舞和功夫班)”可知张雪玲童年时期很早就接触到中国文化。 25．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture(她看到大批年轻人身着好看的汉服走在街上十分震撼，这种浓厚氛围唤醒了她对中国文化的好奇心)”可知是汉服爱好者营造的氛围唤醒了她的好奇心。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges(她不仅登台发言，还自学了《洛城旧事》这支舞蹈。在后台，她的心跳得飞快：“万一上台出错了怎么办？”然而，当她开始舞动的那一刻，所有的忧虑便烟消云散。她优雅的舞姿，搭配上华美的汉服，彻底征服了现场的观众与评委)”，由此可知出色的演讲和优美的舞蹈让她赢得比赛。 27．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine(张雪玲证明怀揣真挚热爱，任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩)”可知，张雪玲用真挚热爱表明任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩，可推知真挚的热爱能够连接不同文化。 （本题10分）TikTok is changing how young people talk. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context. On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially pleasant can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug). The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers, ” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”. The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语) . Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip) . News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too. 28．(2.5分)How is TikTok influencing the way young people speak? A．By limiting their vocabulary. B．By promoting formal language usage. C．By changing their grammatical structures. D．By encouraging the use of informal expressions. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author mention “candy lovers” and “drog”? A．To show creative spelling trends. B．To show TikTok’s influence on drug culture. C．To explain how algospeak works. D．To criticize misspellings on social media. 30．(2.5分)What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3? A．Creating language to express one’s uniqueness. B．Using language to create popular online topics. C．Changing language to fit in with different groups. D．Using language to describe job-related activities. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．The Future of English in the Digital Age B．Dangers of Social Media Slang C．Generation Z’s Secret Language D．TikTok: The New Language Lab 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了TikTok对语言的影响。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“TikTok is changing how young people talk. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”.(TikTok正在改变年轻人说话的方式。非正式表达正在兴起：Z世代的人说“yapping”而不是“talking”。)”可知，TikTok 正在改变年轻人的说话方式，非正式表达方式正在兴起。故选D。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”) , and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug).(一个名为“算法语言”的系统似乎可以避免内容限制。他使用间接语言（吸毒者被称为糖果爱好者”）以及错误的拼写（用“drog”代替“drug”）。)”可知， 作者在“candy lovers” and “drog”的之前提到了“算法语言”，此处用两个例子来说明“算法语言”系统是如何操作的，故此处是为了解释 algospeak 是如何工作的。故选C。 30．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中短语language-based identity work前文的内容“For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience.(几十年来，年轻人创造新词汇，就是为了让自己与成年人区分开来。在社交应用上，这些新词汇有了大量的受众。)”可知，年轻人通过创造和使用新词汇来表达自己的独特性。因此，伊尔伯里教授的说“language-based identity work”的意思是“创造语言来表达自己的独特性”。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“TikTok is changing how young people talk. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”.(TikTok正在改变年轻人说话的方式。非正式表达正在兴起：Z世代的人说“yapping”而不是“talking”。)”以及后文的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了讲述了TikTok对语言的影响，改变年轻人说话的方式，故D项“TikTok：新的语言实验室”符合文章标题。故选D。 （本题10分）Many papers have been published on the cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism (多语言能力). Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve the ability to stay focused, plan complex tasks and adjust to new information. What is more striking is that some studies even suggest people who can speak more than one language equally well may experience cognitive decline about four years later than those who speak only one, though such claims, as researchers point out, are not always consistent. The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language, but the biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second language fully. A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, have the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages constantly in the course of a day may be particularly important. Studies of bilingual (双语的) interpreters have provided some of the strongest evidence for this. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems, suggesting generally better cognitive control. Bilinguals are not like those speaking only one language in lots of ways. The child raised in a foreign language abroad may have cognitive and educational advantages that have nothing to do with bilingualism. Yet studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages of speaking several languages. Where schooling is short, bilingualism exercises children’s brains in a way that their schooling may not. Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, stated bilingualism is not a cure-all and compared it to a slice of holey cheese, for its cognitive protection is similar to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by holey cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like putting the slices together. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection. 32．(2.5分)What is mainly discussed about multilingualism in the first paragraph? A．Its medical benefits. B．Expectations of it. C．Arguments about it. D．Its multiple advantages. 33．(2.5分)What does the example of interpreters show? A．Barriers to cross-cultural interactions. B．The importance of frequent bilingual use. C．Effects of bilingualism on multitasking. D．The link between languages and cognition. 34．(2.5分)Who is most affected by bilingualism? A．A teenager growing up abroad. B．A teenager having language gifts. C．A student in an undeveloped area. D．A student receiving formal schooling. 35．(2.5分)Why is bilingualism compared to holey cheese? A．To prove its role is crucial. B．To show it boosts physical health. C．To explain it is poorly studied. D．To illustrate its function is limited. 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了多语言能力对认知的益处，包括提高专注力、规划复杂任务和适应新信息的能力，以及多语言能力对不同人群的影响，并指出多语言能力并非万能，需结合其他益脑活动。 【详解】32．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve the ability to stay focused, plan complex tasks and adjust to new information. What is more striking is that some studies even suggest people who can speak more than one language equally well may experience cognitive decline about four years later than those who speak only one, though such claims, as researchers point out, are not always consistent.(除了它能打开的对话之门，多语言能力还能提高保持专注、规划复杂任务和适应新信息的能力。更引人注目的是，一些研究甚至表明，能够同样流利地说多种语言的人，其认知能力下降的时间可能比只会说一种语言的人晚大约四年，尽管研究人员指出，这种说法并不总是一致的)”可知，本段主要讨论了多语言能力包括沟通在内的多种认知优势。故选D项。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Switching languages constantly in the course of a day may be particularly important. Studies of bilingual (双语的) interpreters have provided some of the strongest evidence for this. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems, suggesting generally better cognitive control.(在一天中不断地转换语言可能尤为重要。对双语口译员的研究为此提供了一些最有力的证据。例如，他们在简单的加减法问题之间反复跳跃的速度更快，这表明他们通常具有更好的认知控制能力)” 可知，口译员的例子是为了证明经常使用双语（不断地切换语言）的重要性。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages of speaking several languages. Where schooling is short, bilingualism exercises children’s brains in a way that their schooling may not. (然而，研究发现了一个惊人的证据：在世界上较贫困的地区，会说多种语言的人表现出最强的多语言优势。在教育短缺的地方，双语以一种学校教育可能无法做到的方式锻炼孩子们的大脑)”可知，在欠发达地区（教育短缺）的儿童身上，双语能力的益处表现得最为显著，因为这些孩子能从双语练习中获得学校教育无法提供的认知锻炼。因此，最受双语影响的是欠发达地区的学生。故选C项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, stated bilingualism is not a cure-all and compared it to a slice of holey cheese, for its cognitive protection is similar to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by holey cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like putting the slices together. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection.(加拿大约克大学的Ellen Bialystok表示，双语能力并不是万能的，并将其比作一片有洞的奶酪，因为它的认知保护类似于有洞的奶酪提供的一片面包的覆盖范围。做其他对大脑有益的事情，比如锻炼，就像把切片放在一起。它们的孔出现在不同的地方，因此共同提供了更大的保护)” 可知，多语言能力被比作有洞的奶酪，是为了说明它的功能是有限的，需要与其他益脑活动结合才能提供更大的保护。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication.

Yet she was born extremely shy, always holding back and refusing to display herself in public. She worried constantly that others might look down on her or make fun of her. To avoid being the centre of attention, she remained quiet most of the time and kept a low profile whenever there was any school activity. Secretly, she really admired those confident classmates who were brave enough to express themselves and shine on different occasions. When the school launched project-based learning, various research groups were set up to carry out different tasks. “Lily, would you like to join our group? We’re going to research the glorious history of our school,” Anna invited her warmly. She explained that the group work was assigned into separate parts; collecting related materials, sorting out useful information, drafting presentation scripts, delivering speeches on camera, and completing video recording, editing as well as online uploading. “I want to take charge of video recording, data sorting and online uploading.” Anna shared her plan excitedly with Lily. Anna was fond of video creation and had rich experience in this field. Lily smiled from the heart and spoke highly of Anna. “You’re absolutely born for this role,” she said gently. “You’re outgoing, creative and totally passionate about video making. It’s such a perfect chance for you to combine your job with your strengths.” 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。 Hearing her words, Anna looked at Lily softly and asked, “What about you?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lily did a great job and the project-based learning was finally awarded first prize. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing her words, Anna looked at Lily softly and asked, “What about you?” At this question, Lily lowered her head at once, her hands twisting uneasily. A flood of nervousness washed over her. “I can’t do it well,” she said in a low voice. Seeing her hesitation, Anna smiled and encouraged her, “You have such a sweet voice and good appearance. Why not show your talent?” She comforted Lily, saying that if she was too nervous to speak before the camera, she could work as a voice broadcaster for the project. After a brief inner struggle, Lily gathered her courage and nodded, deciding to give it a try. Lily did a great job and the project-based learning was finally awarded first prize. Knowing the result, a wave of joy and pride swept over Lily. More than the honor, she was proud of herself for overcoming her long-standing shyness. No longer afraid of being judged or laughed at, she was brave enough to show her own strengths. Having long admired confident peers, she finally became one of them. She came to realize that everyone has unique strengths, and only by stepping out of our comfort zone can we grow into a more confident and better version of ourselves. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了腼腆的莉莉在好友鼓励下参与课题项目并担任配音，不仅助力团队获奖，也战胜自卑、收获成长，明白了走出舒适区才能变得更好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写莉莉面对询问时的自卑犹豫、安娜的耐心鼓励以及莉莉最终鼓起勇气接受任务的心理与动作过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写莉莉出色完成配音任务、团队获奖，以及她突破自我、摆脱胆怯、收获自信与人生感悟的成长变化。 2.续写线索：犹豫自卑——鼓励尝试——出色完成——突破自我——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低下头：lower one’s head/hang one’s head ②低声说：say in a low voice/whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①一阵紧张：a flood of nervousness/a wave of anxiety ②害怕的：afraid/scared 【点睛】【高分句型1】After a brief inner struggle, Lily gathered her courage and nodded, deciding to give it a try.

Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance.

Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context. On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially pleasant can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug). The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers, ” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”. The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语) . Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip) . News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too. 28．(2.5分)How is TikTok influencing the way young people speak? A．By limiting their vocabulary. B．By promoting formal language usage. C．By changing their grammatical structures. D．By encouraging the use of informal expressions. 29．(2.5分)Why does the author mention “candy lovers” and “drog”? A．To show creative spelling trends. B．To show TikTok’s influence on drug culture. C．To explain how algospeak works. D．To criticize misspellings on social media. 30．(2.5分)What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3? A．Creating language to express one’s uniqueness. B．Using language to create popular online topics. C．Changing language to fit in with different groups. D．Using language to describe job-related activities. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．The Future of English in the Digital Age B．Dangers of Social Media Slang C．Generation Z’s Secret Language D．TikTok: The New Language Lab （本题10分）Many papers have been published on the cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism (多语言能力). Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve the ability to stay focused, plan complex tasks and adjust to new information. What is more striking is that some studies even suggest people who can speak more than one language equally well may experience cognitive decline about four years later than those who speak only one, though such claims, as researchers point out, are not always consistent. The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language, but the biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second language fully. A bit of university French does not, unfortunately, have the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Switching languages constantly in the course of a day may be particularly important. Studies of bilingual (双语的) interpreters have provided some of the strongest evidence for this. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems, suggesting generally better cognitive control. Bilinguals are not like those speaking only one language in lots of ways. The child raised in a foreign language abroad may have cognitive and educational advantages that have nothing to do with bilingualism. Yet studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages of speaking several languages. Where schooling is short, bilingualism exercises children’s brains in a way that their schooling may not. Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, stated bilingualism is not a cure-all and compared it to a slice of holey cheese, for its cognitive protection is similar to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by holey cheese. Doing other things that are good for the brain, such as exercise, is like putting the slices together. Their holes occur in different places, and thus collectively offer greater protection. 32．(2.5分)What is mainly discussed about multilingualism in the first paragraph? A．Its medical benefits. B．Expectations of it. C．Arguments about it. D．Its multiple advantages. 33．(2.5分)What does the example of interpreters show? A．Barriers to cross-cultural interactions. B．The importance of frequent bilingual use. C．Effects of bilingualism on multitasking. D．The link between languages and cognition. 34．(2.5分)Who is most affected by bilingualism? A．A teenager growing up abroad. B．A teenager having language gifts. C．A student in an undeveloped area. D．A student receiving formal schooling. 35．(2.5分)Why is bilingualism compared to holey cheese? A．To prove its role is crucial. B．To show it boosts physical health. C．To explain it is poorly studied. D．To illustrate its function is limited. （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication. B．Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views. C．Learners tend to prefer fluency to accuracy in daily study. D．Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task. E．People often ignore the cultural value behind language learning. F．They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one. G．We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）“I got accepted to Harvard!” shouted 16-year-old Ayrton Little. “All my hard work was 41 .” A video of the 16-year-old boy logging into the computer to check his 42 and realizing that he had just gotten into one of the most famous universities is quickly 43 with over 400,000 views.

Yet she was born extremely shy, always holding back and refusing to display herself in public. She worried constantly that others might look down on her or make fun of her. To avoid being the centre of attention, she remained quiet most of the time and kept a low profile whenever there was any school activity. Secretly, she really admired those confident classmates who were brave enough to express themselves and shine on different occasions. When the school launched project-based learning, various research groups were set up to carry out different tasks. “Lily, would you like to join our group? We’re going to research the glorious history of our school,” Anna invited her warmly. She explained that the group work was assigned into separate parts; collecting related materials, sorting out useful information, drafting presentation scripts, delivering speeches on camera, and completing video recording, editing as well as online uploading. “I want to take charge of video recording, data sorting and online uploading.” Anna shared her plan excitedly with Lily. Anna was fond of video creation and had rich experience in this field. Lily smiled from the heart and spoke highly of Anna. “You’re absolutely born for this role,” she said gently. “You’re outgoing, creative and totally passionate about video making. It’s such a perfect chance for you to combine your job with your strengths.” 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。 Hearing her words, Anna looked at Lily softly and asked, “What about you?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lily did a great job and the project-based learning was finally awarded first prize. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力。考试正式。开始。Alice, aren't you learning french by . yourself now?
