Time to Learn How to Sort  Whatever we don’t want — no matter whether it’s eggshells, newspapers, soda cans or old socks — it’s all garbage. And garbage goes to the garbage bin. There seems to be ____1____ wrong with that. But do you really know how to throw away garbage properly?  China ____2____ (promote) garbage sorting for over a decade, but for the majority of the public, the concept hasn’t sunk in. Shenzhen issued a new regulation, ____3____ states that residents will be fined up to 100 yuan and organizations 1,000 yuan for not sorting rubbish into specific groups.  “It’s evident that the government is determined to push this forward,” said Zhang Ning, a program officer ____4____ (serve) in a Beijing-based public welfare organization. “But I’m afraid the regulation will prove to be ineffective ____5____ garbage sorting has never been achieved by merely imposing severe punishments.”  A recent survey found that 49.5 percent of the respondents said they still don’t know how to sort garbage, while 45.5 percent just can’t be bothered to do it. “Lots of citizens ____6____ (confuse) about what’s recyclable and what’s general waste. For example, it’s scarcely known that tissue is non-recyclable because it’s usually too polluted____7____ (recycle).” said Zhang, a representative.  According to Zhang, 70 percent of garbage is a “____8____ (misuse) resource”. For instance, a ton of waste steel can be refined (精炼) into 0.9 tons of usable steel, and a ton of kitchen waste is able to produce 0.3 tons of organic fertilizer.  But all of this is based ____9____ the condition that the garbage is categorized properly. The sorting process initially starts in households. Residents ____10____ have sorted their garbage properly from the very beginning, but many failed to do so. Garbage sorting is a complex issue and takes patience. So next time when you throw away what is called “garbage”, do it in the right way. 【答案】1. nothing 2. has promoted##has been promoting 3. which 4. serving 5. because##as##since 6. are confused 7. to be recycled 8. misused 9. on 10. could 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍中国推行垃圾分类多年，但大众认知不足，深圳出台新规并探讨垃圾分类推行难的原因与意义。 【1题详解】 考查不定代词。句意：这似乎没有什么问题。本句为There seems to be...句型；根据前文“Whatever we don’t want — no matter whether it’s eggshells, newspapers, soda cans or old socks — it’s all garbage. And garbage goes to the garbage bin.”可知，人们会觉得垃圾丢进垃圾桶这件事没有问题，nothing wrong表示“没有问题”。 【2题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：中国十多年来一直在推行垃圾分类，但对于大多数公众而言，这个理念还没有深入人心。时间状语for over a decade表示动作从过去持续到现在，可用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，主语China是单数，谓语为has promoted /has been promoting。 【3题详解】 考查定语从句关系词。句意：深圳出台了一项新规，该新规规定居民如果没有将垃圾分到特定类别，最高罚款100元，机构最高罚款1000元。先行词是a new regulation，逗号后是非限制性定语从句，先行词指物，从句缺少主语，只能用关系代词which。 【4题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在北京一家公益组织任职的项目专员张宁说：“很明显政府决心推进这件事。”主句已有谓语动词said，空处应用非谓语动词，名词a program officer和serve之间是主动关系，此处用现在分词作后置定语。 【5题详解】 考查连词。句意：“但恐怕这项规定最后收效甚微，因为垃圾分类从来不会仅仅依靠严厉处罚就能实现。”空格前后是因果关系，后半句解释前面观点的原因，用because/as/since引导原因状语从句。 【6题详解】 考查动词时态、语态和固定搭配。句意：很多市民对什么可回收、什么是其他垃圾感到困惑。固定搭配be confused about表示“对……感到困惑”；主语Lots of citizens是复数，陈述现状，用一般现在时，be用are。 【7题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，鲜少有人知道纸巾不可回收，因为它通常污染过重而无法回收。固定结构too...to do sth. 表示“太……而不能……”，不定式作结果状语，且recycle与逻辑主语it（指代tissue）为动宾关系，因此用不定式的被动形式to be recycled。 【8题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据张宁所说，百分之七十的垃圾是一种“被误用的资源”。misuse与逻辑主语resource是被动关系，用过去分词misused作定语修饰名词，表示“被误用的”。 【9题详解】 考查介词。句意：但所有这一切都建立在垃圾被恰当分类的基础之上。固定搭配be based on，表示“以……为基础”。 【10题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：居民本可以从一开始就把垃圾分好类，但很多人没能做到。根据后文“but many failed to do so”可知，此处表达“本来能够做（实际没做）”，用could have done。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. sustainable B. address C. applies  D. dominating  E. claims   F. collectively G. adaptation  H. survival I. remerging J. intentionally K. transformed  Big Tech Shouldn’t Rescue the Newspaper Industry In the early 17th century, London’s St Paul’s Cathedral was a center for news and gossip, where entrepreneurs sold handwritten “letters of news” to wealthy subscribers. Today, a similar subscription model is ____11____ in the newspaper industry again, marking the end of an era when newspapers relied on mass markets and advertising for profits. For decades, newspapers have sold their content below production costs to attract readers for advertisers. The old saying — “If you’re not paying, you are the product” — ____12____ as much to newspapers as it does to modern tech platforms. However, the internet has ____13____ this business model. Over the past two decades, newspaper ad revenues in America have dropped by 80%, and circulation has been reduced by half. Digital advertising hasn’t made up for these losses, with tech giants like Google and Facebook ____14____ the market. In the UK, for instance, Google controls over 90% of search ad revenue (收入), while Facebook ____15____ half of all display ad revenue. Faced with these challenges, newspapers are turning to governments for help, arguing that their ____16____ is vital for public interests. Recent efforts in countries like Australia and France aim to force Google and Facebook to pay for news content, while in the U.S., the government has considered allowing multiple newspapers to negotiate ____17____ with tech platforms. Google and Facebook have responded with financial support. Google promised $1 billion over three years to pay publishers for selected content, and Facebook agreed to usage fees with some publishers. Yet, these payments are minimal compared to the earnings of tech giants and hardly ____18____ the deeper economic challenges of the newspaper industry. The real issue isn’t tech giants exploiting newspapers but newspapers losing control of content distribution. Unlike video and music industries, newspapers have struggled to adapt. Nonetheless, some have found success through subscriptions. The New York Times, for example, now boasts over 6.5 million subscribers, showing toughness through digital ____19____. The future of public-interest journalism should rest on ____20____ business models, not on government funding or tech donations. Newspapers must innovate to create content that readers value and are willing to pay for — just as they did centuries ago. 【答案】11. I 12. C 13. K 14. D 15. E 16. H 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文指出互联网冲击报业，科技巨头垄断广告市场，报业不应依赖巨头资助，而要靠自主探索可持续商业模式、数字化转型适应谋求生存。 【11题详解】 考查动词。句意：如今，一种相似的订阅模式在报业再度兴起，标志着报纸依靠大众市场和广告盈利的时代走向终结。根据“a similar subscription model”以及句意“再度出现、重新兴起”可知应填动词remerge，结合上文is可知为现在进行时。 【12题详解】 考查动词。句意：那句老话——“如果你没有付费，那你就是商品”，既适用于现代科技平台，也同样适用于报纸。根据“as much to newspapers as it does to modern tech platforms”以及句意“适用”可知应填动词apply，陈述事实用一般现在时，主语为The old saying，谓语用三单形式。 【13题详解】 考查动词过去分词。句意：然而，互联网已经改变了这种商业模式。根据后文“Over the past two decades, newspaper ad revenues in America have dropped by 80%, and circulation has been reduced by half.”以及句意“改变”可知应填动词transform，结合has可知为现在完成时。 【14题详解】 考查动词。句意：数字广告并没有弥补这些损失，谷歌、脸书这类科技巨头垄断着市场。根据后文“Google controls over 90% of search ad revenue”以及句意“掌控、主导”可知应填动词dominate，与tech giants构成主动关系，故用现在分词作宾补。 【15题详解】 考查动词。句意：例如在英国，谷歌掌控超过九成搜索广告收入，而脸书占据一半展示广告收入。根据“half of all display ad revenue”以及句意“索取、占有”可知应填动词claim，结合上文controls可知为一般现在时，主语为Facebook，谓语用三单形式。 【16题详解】 考查名词。句意：面对这些困境，报纸向政府求助，称它们的存续对公共利益至关重要。根据后文报业面临生存危机以及句意“生存、存续”可知应填名词survival，作主语，可数。 【17题详解】 考查副词。句意：美国政府考虑允许多家报纸联合起来，和科技平台谈判。根据“multiple newspapers to negotiate”以及句意“共同地、集体地”可知应填副词collectively，修饰动词。 【18题详解】 考查动词。句意：但这笔资金和科技巨头的收益相比微不足道，几乎无法解决报业更深层的经济难题。根据“the deeper economic challenges”以及句意“解决、应对”可知应填动词address，作谓语，结合are可知为一般现在时，主语为these payments，谓语用原形。 【19题详解】 考查名词。句意：例如《纽约时报》如今拥有六百五十多万订阅用户，在数字化转型适应的过程中展现韧性。根据“newspapers have struggled to adapt”以及句意“适应”可知应填名词adaptation，作宾语，不可数。 【20题详解】 考查形容词。句意：公共新闻业的未来应当建立在可持续的商业模式之上，而不是依靠政府拨款或者科技公司捐助。根据后文报业需要自主创新盈利以及句意“可持续的”可知应填形容词sustainable，作定语修饰名词models。 III.

Chris Osgood of the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics in Boston says wiring 320 downtown parking spots with occupancy sensors____30____ not just by letting drivers find open spots through an app called Parking but by helping the city managers see where they needed to change their policies.

In addition此外；B. For example例如；C. As a result因此；D. On the contrary相反。下文“data from London’s transport system helped the city prepare for the arrival of the large number of visitors during the Olympics.”提出的伦敦奥运案例是前句“Other cities are also seeing the advantage in pooling data to make life ____ for residents”的具体举例。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意：技术解决方案能够让居民生活更加便捷，同时也能让城市管理者对城市形成新的认知。A. Traditional传统的；B. General大体的；C. Potential潜在的；D. Technological技术的。后文“wiring 320 downtown parking spots with occupancy sensors ____ not just by letting drivers find open spots through an app called Parking but by helping the city managers see where they needed to change their policies.”提及的“传感器、App”等属于技术解决方案。 【30题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：波士顿新城市机制市长办公室的克里斯・奥斯古德表示，在市中心320个停车位安装占用传感器取得了成效：不仅司机可以通过一款名叫 Parking 的应用找到空位，还帮助城市管理者看清需要调整政策的地方。A. took on承担；B. put aside搁置；C. made up编造；D. paid off取得成效。后文“not just by letting drivers find open spots through an app called Parking but by helping the city managers see where they needed to change their policies.”是该举措带来的两方面好处，说明措施奏效。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：奥斯古德和他的团队找出了一批总是被占满的车位，并将它们最长停放时间从4小时缩短到2小时。A. cancelled取消；B. identified识别、找出；C. emptied清空；D. enlarged扩大。后文“a number of spaces that were constantly occupied”提及的“有很多总是被占用的空位”这一情况是Osgood和他的团队根据“数据”找出的。 【32题详解】 考查副词。句意：其余车位使用率很低，相应地，它们的最长停放时间被上调。A. accordingly相应地；B. distinctively独特地；C. sensitively敏感地；D. analytically分析地。根据前文“Other spots were underused, and had their maximum times pushed up”可知，该地点未得到充分利用，相应地就会增加这一地点的使用时间。 【33题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：富兰克林-霍奇说：“我们全城的垃圾桶都配备了传感器。”A. equipped with配备有；B. devoted to致力于；C. occupied by被……占据；D. involved in卷入。根据后文“They can inform us in real time when they are getting full.”可推知，垃圾桶被装备上了传感器。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：当我们长期分析这些数据，它就能让我们确定在哪里投放收垃圾的资源。A. remember记住；B. ignore忽视；C. determine确定；D. ask询问。根据前文“As we analyze that data over time”以及后文“where to put resources to collect trash.”可知，经过分析数据，就可以规划收集垃圾的资源配置。 【35题详解】 考查名词。句意：这份优步协议只是冰山一角。A. concept概念；B. agreement协议；C. advantage优势；D. requirement要求。根据前文“Franklin-Hodge says he expects more private companies to join Uber.”可知，预计会有更多的私营公司像Uber一样与政府合作，达成协议，优步的那份协议只是“冰山一角”。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. A He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding? No way would anyone ever confuse me with a fashion model. I was ugly. After all, I had the scar. The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbor boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face. After a three-hour operation, a huge bandage covered half of my face for several months. “You’ll always be pretty to me,” Dad sighed, “even if you aren’t to the rest of the world.” Right. Thanks. I could still hear the unkind words of the other kids at school. I could still see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. I would still look at myself in the bathroom mirror from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girl is not accepted. “Of course I’m not a model,” I replied. The doctor crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. “Since you’re not a model, what brought you here today?” The room began to swim before me, as my eyes were full of tears. The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman. Even Elizabeth Taylor has a tiny scar on her forehead,” he said in a low voice. Then he paused for a while. “When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face, he said, “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.” I left his office, not with the scar removed from my face, but with a tear removed from my heart. 36. How did the woman get a scar on her face? A. She was born with the scar.     B. She was injured by her neighbor. C. She fell over a stone by accident.    D. She had an unsuccessful operation. 37. From the third paragraph, what can we learn about the writer? A. She felt much better for her father’s comfort.  B. She was eager to make friends at school. C. She was extremely upset about her looks.   D. She hated the teachers who ignored her. 38. What message did the doctor help the writer realize? A. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.    B. A good medicine tastes bitter. C. A little imperfection brings uniqueness.   D. A father’s love is as deep as the sea. 39. Which expression can be best used to describe the doctor? A. Mean and practical.      B. Superior and impatient. C. Calm and indifferent.      D. Sincere and inspiring. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者脸上因事故留下疤痕，一直因容貌自卑，医生温柔开导她，让她明白小小的缺憾可以造就独特的自己。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbor boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face.(事故发生在四年级，邻居家的男孩扔出一块锋利的石头砸到了我的侧脸)”可知，她被邻居家的孩子弄伤，脸上留下疤痕。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I could still see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. I would still look at myself in the bathroom mirror from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girl is not accepted.(我依然能看到，我和老师们常常关注的漂亮女孩有多不一样。我还是会时不时在浴室镜子里看自己。在一个看重美貌的文化里，一个丑陋的女孩不被接纳)”可知，作者因为自己的外貌十分难过。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的““When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face, he said, “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.”(“当一个人坠入爱河时，如果伴侣有一处缺憾，那处缺憾就会变得特别。” 泪水顺着我的脸颊流下时，他说：“你是一个很有魅力的女人，只是有一处小小的缺憾。无论你是否知晓，正是这份缺憾让你与众不同。”)”可知，医生让作者明白一点缺憾会带来独特性。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman.(医生在我身旁坐下。他的声音低沉柔和。“让我告诉你我看到了什么。我看到一位美丽的女性。不是完美无瑕的女性，但却是美丽的女性) ”以及“You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection.

Today, with a huge range of camera apps, almost everyone can take good-quality photos. The ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing both the magical and the ordinary. We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, while photojournalists also use mobile phones because their small size makes it easier to capture unguarded moments. In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events. Such images could change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, it is not because there are fewer good ones. It is because there are so many, and no single image gets to be special for long. The rise of digital photography has also raised questions about the truthfulness of images. Before digital images, people generally trusted photographs to reflect reality accurately. Today, however, images can be altered in ways the naked eye might never notice. Photojournalists are trained to accurately represent what they witness. Yet any image can be altered to create a so-called “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer. Camera apps such as Instagram allow photographers to use filters (滤镜) to make pictures more artistic or give them an antique look. Such effects can create powerful images, but they can also cause controversy, especially when photographs of wars and conflicts are made to look romantic or distant from reality. Yet photography has always been more subjective than we assume. Every picture reflects a series of choices — where to stand, what lens (镜头) to use, and what to include or leave out. So, does altering a photograph with a filter necessarily make it less true? Perhaps not. Digital tools make it easier for people to tell their own stories and give others the chance to do the same. At the same time, focusing only on major events may cause the media to overlook ordinary scenes of daily life that can be equally revealing. Perhaps our growing obsession with photography will lead to a universal visual language, changing the way we relate to one another and the world. 43. Why are there fewer memorable photographs today, according to the author? A. The quality of many images is still poor. B. There are too many good images these days. C. Traditional media refuse to allow amateur photos. D. Most images are not appealing to a global audience. 44. Why does the author put the word “improved” in quotation marks (Para. 3)? A. To indicate that it is a word cited from another source. B. To stress that the picture of reality is greatly improved. C. To draw readers’ attention to a word worth considering. D. To show that it is arguable whether the picture is truly improved. 45. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. Everyday photographs can reveal important aspects of life. B. Digital photographs are less truthful than traditional ones. C. Filters always make photographs too subjective to be reliable. D. The media should focus more on major social events. 46. What is the best title for the passage? A. Camera Apps Bury Truth B. Photography Redefined by Technology C. The End of Professional Photography D. The Decline of Traditional Photography 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了科技降低摄影门槛，照片数量激增，修图工具引发真实性争议，但摄影本就带有主观性，科技正在重新定义摄影，改变人们表达与感知世界的方式。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But if there are fewer memorable images today, it is not because there are fewer good ones. It is because there are so many, and no single image gets to be special for long.(但倘若如今令人难忘的影像变少了，并非是优质影像变少了，而是因为影像数量实在太多，没有哪一张影像能够长久保持独特。)”可知，令人印象深刻的照片变少了原因是如今优质图片数量太多。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Yet any image can be altered to create a so-called “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer.(然而任何图片都可以被修改，造出一张所谓“优化过的”现实图景。普通观众除了信任新闻机构或摄影师，无法判断图片是否真实)”可知，加引号表示这个“优化”存在争议，未必是真正变好。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At the same time, focusing only on major events may cause the media to overlook ordinary scenes of daily life that can be equally revealing.(同时，只聚焦重大事件会让媒体忽略日常生活的普通场景，而这些场景同样富有启示意义)”可知，作者会认同日常照片能够展现生活重要的一面。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events. Such images could change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, it is not because there are fewer good ones. It is because there are so many, and no single image gets to be special for long.(过去，杂志刊登那些记录重要人物与全球大事、令人过目难忘的照片。这类照片能够改变公众舆论，甚至改写历史进程。但如今让人印象深刻的照片变少，并不是因为佳作变少了，而是照片实在太多，没有哪一张能长久保持独特)”结合文章说明了智能手机、拍照软件、修图滤镜等科技改变了摄影：人人都能拍照、图片海量、图片真实性受到挑战，摄影的内涵被重新定义。B选项“技术重新定义摄影”最符合文章标题。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog It’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day — about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is. It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful. “When you talk to your dog, you get a sense that this is why you’re here — no matter what happens at work or with your finances, your dog still loves you and needs you, and that gives you a sense of purpose,” says Larry Young, an expert on social bonding at Emory University. ____47____ In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends. The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. ____48____ Even so, there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense. Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it. ____49____ “Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.” Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study. It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup, the people are able to relax and recover — in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn’t. ____50____ “They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路). A. A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do. B. Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family. C. Dogs are fantastic at reading us. D. Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being. E. Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial. F. They’re more likely to distract you. 【答案】47. E 48. A 49. F 50. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要阐述了与狗狗交谈的好处，包括给人带来情感上的安慰、成为倾诉困难情绪的对象、通过表达情感减轻负面感受、避免过度沉溺于烦恼以及通过与狗狗的互动实现放松和恢复等。 【47题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends.(在2018年的一项研究中，研究人员发现，相较于向伴侣或朋友倾诉，人们更愿意向他们的狗透露负面情绪，如抑郁、嫉妒、焦虑和恐惧)”以及下文“there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense.(简单地表达情感是有价值的，尤其是那些令人烦恼的情感。研究发现，当人们把自己的情绪用语言表达出来时，他们的负面情绪就会变得不那么强烈)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们更愿意向他们的狗透露困难的情绪，当人们把自己的情绪用语言表达出来时，他们的负面情绪就会变得不那么强烈，所以E项“和你的狗谈论情感上令人沮丧的问题可能特别有益”符合此处主题。 【48题详解】 根据前文“The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln.(其中的确切原因尚不清楚，但一种可能性是“宠物是很好的、不加评判的倾听者，因为它们不会打断或回答，”该研究的合著者、林肯大学人与动物关系专家丹尼尔·米尔斯说)”可知，宠物是很好的、不加评判的倾听者，因为它们不会打断或回答，所以A项“狗不会像有些人那样试图解决问题”是对前文的解释，符合此处主题。 【49题详解】 根据前文“Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it.(另一个隐藏的好处是：你的狗不会和你谈论那些困扰你的事，（要是换作他人和你讨论这些事）只会让你一直琢磨这些烦心事)”以及后文““Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”(“狗使用情绪控制策略，”米尔斯说。“他们对游戏的渴望会让你远离悲伤或愤怒。”)”可知，本段讲述和狗说话的另一个好处，狗不会和你谈论困扰你的事情，这会让你一直在想它，后文讲述会让你远离悲伤或愤怒，所以F项“他们更有可能分散你的注意力”承接上文，引出下文，符合本段主题。 【50题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文““They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路).(科根说：“它们能感觉到我们的不安，而且可以说它们比某些人更能读懂我们。”而且“因为我们知道我们的狗很懂我们，所以我们会控制自己，不让我们的狗感到不安，这对我们也有帮助。”这是一个正反馈循环)”可知，本段讲述狗能感觉到我们的不安，而且可以说它们比某些人更能读懂我们，所以C项“狗很擅长读懂我们”符合本段主题。 IV.

The real value of the project does not ____59____ in the amount of aid provided, but in the opportunities that it creates for people to rebuild their lives.  Yet the organizers have learned that effective support cannot follow fixed pattern.

A recent social awareness _____60_____ invited residents to share their experiences and suggest ways to make the city more inclusive. 【答案】51. F 52. K 53. D 54. E 55. B 56. C 57. H 58. G 59. J 60.

With my help, he caught up soon and became active in class. I was amazed to find that I also deepened my own knowledge while tutoring him, and we became good friends.

Shenzhen issued a new regulation, ____3____ states that residents will be fined up to 100 yuan and organizations 1,000 yuan for not sorting rubbish into specific groups.  “It’s evident that the government is determined to push this forward,” said Zhang Ning, a program officer ____4____ (serve) in a Beijing-based public welfare organization. “But I’m afraid the regulation will prove to be ineffective ____5____ garbage sorting has never been achieved by merely imposing severe punishments.”  A recent survey found that 49.5 percent of the respondents said they still don’t know how to sort garbage, while 45.5 percent just can’t be bothered to do it. “Lots of citizens ____6____ (confuse) about what’s recyclable and what’s general waste. For example, it’s scarcely known that tissue is non-recyclable because it’s usually too polluted____7____ (recycle).” said Zhang, a representative.  According to Zhang, 70 percent of garbage is a “____8____ (misuse) resource”. For instance, a ton of waste steel can be refined (精炼) into 0.9 tons of usable steel, and a ton of kitchen waste is able to produce 0.3 tons of organic fertilizer.  But all of this is based ____9____ the condition that the garbage is categorized properly. The sorting process initially starts in households. Residents ____10____ have sorted their garbage properly from the very beginning, but many failed to do so. Garbage sorting is a complex issue and takes patience. So next time when you throw away what is called “garbage”, do it in the right way.

Today, a similar subscription model is ____11____ in the newspaper industry again, marking the end of an era when newspapers relied on mass markets and advertising for profits. For decades, newspapers have sold their content below production costs to attract readers for advertisers. The old saying — “If you’re not paying, you are the product” — ____12____ as much to newspapers as it does to modern tech platforms. However, the internet has ____13____ this business model. Over the past two decades, newspaper ad revenues in America have dropped by 80%, and circulation has been reduced by half. Digital advertising hasn’t made up for these losses, with tech giants like Google and Facebook ____14____ the market. In the UK, for instance, Google controls over 90% of search ad revenue (收入), while Facebook ____15____ half of all display ad revenue. Faced with these challenges, newspapers are turning to governments for help, arguing that their ____16____ is vital for public interests. Recent efforts in countries like Australia and France aim to force Google and Facebook to pay for news content, while in the U.S., the government has considered allowing multiple newspapers to negotiate ____17____ with tech platforms. Google and Facebook have responded with financial support. Google promised $1 billion over three years to pay publishers for selected content, and Facebook agreed to usage fees with some publishers. Yet, these payments are minimal compared to the earnings of tech giants and hardly ____18____ the deeper economic challenges of the newspaper industry. The real issue isn’t tech giants exploiting newspapers but newspapers losing control of content distribution. Unlike video and music industries, newspapers have struggled to adapt. Nonetheless, some have found success through subscriptions. The New York Times, for example, now boasts over 6.5 million subscribers, showing toughness through digital ____19____. The future of public-interest journalism should rest on ____20____ business models, not on government funding or tech donations. Newspapers must innovate to create content that readers value and are willing to pay for — just as they did centuries ago. III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In European terms, it’s barely a baby — but Boston is one of the oldest cities in the US. It has winding streets, a slow subway and red-brick buildings that date back to the revolution. But behind the history is a modern approach to city management that’s making life easier for its citizens — and it’s all thanks to____21____. Earlier this week, Uber, a car-booking platform, announced that it would ____22____ its data with Boston under a new agreement, making it the first city in the US to receive data from the firm. Starting in two weeks, then updated every quarter, Boston will get zip codes in which Uber rides begin and end, the timing of rides and the distance travelled. Jascha Franklin-Hodge, the city’s chief information officer, says Uber’s data will help his team assess the impact of city development on residential ____23____, measuring daily trips and travel times between different neighborhoods. The Uber data set will ____24____ a wide range of others in Boston’s store. Like cities around the world, it has collected data from its public transport system, cellphones and taxi records to quietly transform and ____25____ itself. For example, it is already using data from the public transport system to understand the impact that removing an elevated road in south Boston is having on local residents. “Cities have used data for a long time,” says Alan Wiig of Temple University in Philadelphia. “What’s ____26____ now, what this announcement signifies, is the speeding up of how quickly cities can use data.” Other cities are also seeing the advantage in pooling data to make life ____27____ for residents, says John Polak of Imperial College London. ____28____, data from London’s transport system helped the city prepare for the arrival of the large number of visitors during the Olympics. ____29____ solutions can make residents’ lives easier, but they can also give managers new insights into their cities. Chris Osgood of the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics in Boston says wiring 320 downtown parking spots with occupancy sensors____30____ not just by letting drivers find open spots through an app called Parking but by helping the city managers see where they needed to change their policies. Osgood and his team ____31____ a number of spaces that were constantly occupied, and reduced their maximum occupancy time from 4 hours to 2 hours. Other spots were underused, and had their maximum times pushed up____32____ “We have trash cans throughout the city that are ____33____ sensors,” Franklin-Hodge says. “They can inform us in real time when they are getting full. As we analyze that data over time, it lets us ____34____ where to put resources to collect trash.” Franklin-Hodge says he expects more private companies to join Uber. “The city can’t just look inwards at its own databases,” he says. “It has to recognize that consumer services are generating data that’s valuable to us.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. A He examined my face, “Hmmm,” he said quietly. “Are you a model?” Is he kidding? No way would anyone ever confuse me with a fashion model. I was ugly. After all, I had the scar. The accident happened in fourth grade, when a neighbor boy threw a sharp stone through the side of my face. After a three-hour operation, a huge bandage covered half of my face for several months. “You’ll always be pretty to me,” Dad sighed, “even if you aren’t to the rest of the world.” Right. Thanks. I could still hear the unkind words of the other kids at school. I could still see how different I looked from the pretty girls the teachers often paid attention to. I would still look at myself in the bathroom mirror from time to time. In a culture that values beauty, an ugly girl is not accepted. “Of course I’m not a model,” I replied. The doctor crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. “Since you’re not a model, what brought you here today?” The room began to swim before me, as my eyes were full of tears. The doctor sat down beside me. His voice was low and soft. “Let me tell you what I see. I see a beautiful woman. Not a perfect woman, but a beautiful woman. Even Elizabeth Taylor has a tiny scar on her forehead,” he said in a low voice. Then he paused for a while. “When a person falls in love, if their mate has an imperfection, that imperfection becomes special.” As tears were rolling down my face, he said, “You are a very attractive woman with a very small imperfection. Whether you know it or not, it makes you special.” I left his office, not with the scar removed from my face, but with a tear removed from my heart. 36. How did the woman get a scar on her face? A. She was born with the scar.     B. She was injured by her neighbor. C. She fell over a stone by accident.    D. She had an unsuccessful operation. 37. From the third paragraph, what can we learn about the writer? A. She felt much better for her father’s comfort.  B. She was eager to make friends at school. C. She was extremely upset about her looks.   D. She hated the teachers who ignored her. 38. What message did the doctor help the writer realize? A. A thing of beauty is a joy forever.    B. A good medicine tastes bitter. C. A little imperfection brings uniqueness.   D. A father’s love is as deep as the sea. 39. Which expression can be best used to describe the doctor? A. Mean and practical.      B. Superior and impatient. C. Calm and indifferent.      D. Sincere and inspiring.

C Before the age of smartphones, photographers had to learn how to use high-tech cameras and photographic techniques. Today, with a huge range of camera apps, almost everyone can take good-quality photos. The ease of photography has given us a tremendous appetite for capturing both the magical and the ordinary. We are obsessed with documenting everyday moments, while photojournalists also use mobile phones because their small size makes it easier to capture unguarded moments. In the past, magazines published unforgettable photos of important people and global events. Such images could change public opinion and even the course of history. But if there are fewer memorable images today, it is not because there are fewer good ones. It is because there are so many, and no single image gets to be special for long. The rise of digital photography has also raised questions about the truthfulness of images. Before digital images, people generally trusted photographs to reflect reality accurately. Today, however, images can be altered in ways the naked eye might never notice. Photojournalists are trained to accurately represent what they witness. Yet any image can be altered to create a so-called “improved” picture of reality. The average viewer is left with no way to assess the accuracy of an image except through trust in a news organization or photographer. Camera apps such as Instagram allow photographers to use filters (滤镜) to make pictures more artistic or give them an antique look. Such effects can create powerful images, but they can also cause controversy, especially when photographs of wars and conflicts are made to look romantic or distant from reality. Yet photography has always been more subjective than we assume. Every picture reflects a series of choices — where to stand, what lens (镜头) to use, and what to include or leave out. So, does altering a photograph with a filter necessarily make it less true? Perhaps not. Digital tools make it easier for people to tell their own stories and give others the chance to do the same. At the same time, focusing only on major events may cause the media to overlook ordinary scenes of daily life that can be equally revealing. Perhaps our growing obsession with photography will lead to a universal visual language, changing the way we relate to one another and the world. 43. Why are there fewer memorable photographs today, according to the author? A. The quality of many images is still poor. B. There are too many good images these days. C. Traditional media refuse to allow amateur photos. D. Most images are not appealing to a global audience. 44. Why does the author put the word “improved” in quotation marks (Para. 3)? A. To indicate that it is a word cited from another source. B. To stress that the picture of reality is greatly improved. C. To draw readers’ attention to a word worth considering. D. To show that it is arguable whether the picture is truly improved. 45. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. Everyday photographs can reveal important aspects of life. B. Digital photographs are less truthful than traditional ones. C. Filters always make photographs too subjective to be reliable. D. The media should focus more on major social events. 46. What is the best title for the passage? A. Camera Apps Bury Truth B. Photography Redefined by Technology C. The End of Professional Photography D. The Decline of Traditional Photography Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog It’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day — about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is. It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful. “When you talk to your dog, you get a sense that this is why you’re here — no matter what happens at work or with your finances, your dog still loves you and needs you, and that gives you a sense of purpose,” says Larry Young, an expert on social bonding at Emory University. ____47____ In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends. The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. ____48____ Even so, there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense. Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it. ____49____ “Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.” Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study. It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup, the people are able to relax and recover — in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn’t. ____50____ “They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路). A. A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do. B. Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family. C. Dogs are fantastic at reading us. D. Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being. E. Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial. F. They’re more likely to distract you. IV. Supplementary Exercise Vocabulary Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

A. campaign  B. acquire C. practically D. stream E. compounded F. launched G. urge H. sheltering I. deliberately J. consist K. gathering When a City Learns to Listen  In a rapidly changing city, people who lose stable housing can easily become invisible. A community project,____51____ by local social workers several years ago, has taken a different approach: rather than treating vulnerable residents simply as recipients of aid, it tries to create conditions in which they can regain control of their own lives.  The project began with volunteers ____52____ stories from people living in temporary accommodation. Over time, a steady____53____ of interviews and case records revealed that housing problems were rarely isolated. Unstable employment, limited access to public services and social exclusion often____54____ one another, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to recover without sustained support. In addition, the information helped participants ____55____ practical skills that could improve their chances of finding stable employment.  For those without a permanent home, finding a job can be____56____ impossible when they lack an address or reliable transportation. Therefore, the project works with local organizations,____57____ families from the most serious consequences of sudden homelessness while helping them move towards longer-term solutions. Enthusiastic volunteers also ____58____ local authorities to make essential services more accessible. The real value of the project does not ____59____ in the amount of aid provided, but in the opportunities that it creates for people to rebuild their lives.  Yet the organizers have learned that effective support cannot follow fixed pattern. People are wired to seek connection and a sense of belonging, and even small opportunities for participation can restore confidence. A recent social awareness _____60_____ invited residents to share their experiences and suggest ways to make the city more inclusive. V.
