However, surveys of children find there is a weak correlation, not causation, between addiction to such technology and unhappiness. Instead, parents should encourage their children to go out more with friends, which children do less often because of over-protective parents and social pressure. IV. Translation 52.

Dear Editor, I recently came across your article "The jobs that will no longer exist in a decade" and found it intriguing. As a student at Mingqi High School, I would like to share my thoughts. In my opinion, jobs related to traditional print media may disappear within a decade. As more readers switch to online news sources, the demand for physical newspapers and magazines is declining, so the need for print journalists, typesetters, and printing press operators may diminish significantly. Moreover, repetitive routine jobs are also at risk. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, tasks involving manual data entry, basic accounting, or assembly line work can now be performed by machines more efficiently and accurately, reducing the need for human involvement. Admittedly, while certain jobs may disappear, new opportunities will emerge in fields such as AI and data analysis. Yours, Li Ming 第 1 页 / 共 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 复旦大学附属中学2025学年第一学期 高三年级英语学科9月第一次阶段性教学质量评估试卷 I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Europe's greatest designs Ever played with Lego? Visited Ikea? Read the Moomin stories? 1         the answer to any of these is yes, then you have enjoyed Nordic design. The Nordic region, located in the far north of Europe, 2          (make) up of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Lego is a Danish company; Ikea shops first opened in Sweden; and the Moomins started life in Finland. Now, a new exhibition 3         the V&A Museum of Childhood, in London, is celebrating this region. Century of the Child: Nordic Design for Children 1900 to Today will take visitors through the 100 years 4         proved to be a productive period for children and playtime. One of the things you can see--and play with--is a mini puckelball pitch. This unpredictable ball game from Sweden uses a bumpy surface, crooked lines and different-sized goals 5          (ensure) that people of all ages and abilities can play at the same level. Other unusual objects include a toy made from fish bones and a dolls' house made from forest waste, 6         of which demonstrate creative ways of using eco-friendly materials. The exhibition will also have a section 7          (explore) how a "junk playground" in 1940s Denmark inspired adventure playgrounds in the UK. The exhibition's title comes from a book 8          (write) in 1900 by a Swedish author called Ellen Key. She believed that during the 20th century, adults 9          (focus) more attention on their children than they had in the previous century. Key wanted adults to make more of an effort to improve children's creativity and education. She died in 1926, but would no doubt have been proud to see 10         her ideas helped shape this exhibition. 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. accomplished B. count C. encounter D. engage E. focus F. interactions G. reactions H. recommended I. represented J. self-serving K. takeaways Feel Happier Today When I learned that the most popular course in the history of Yale University--a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier--was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I was curious to see what Yale professor Laurie Santos 11         . Santos's online course consists of 19 hours of video lectures and I spent three months digesting what she had to offer. Here are two of my favorite 12         . Increase social connections. Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful 13         with a stranger. "One of the most complex things we can 14         with is another person's mind," says Juliana Schroeder, an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the researchers cited in the course. I love chatting with waiters, and I have been doing it even more since we learned about the benefits of such 15         . Tim Bono, who teaches his own course on happiness at Washington University in St Louis, offers this warning: Online friends don't 16         . In fact, many studies have found that the more you use social media, the less happy you are. Bono argues this is because social media showcases things others have that we don't, making us want more and appreciate less. Santos supports this idea in her course. She warns of ways our minds trick us into feeling less happy, such as by comparing ourselves with others who seem richer or more 17         . Perform acts of kindness. Volunteering to help someone or buying a coffee for the person behind you in line can make you happier than doing things like getting a massage. "You just feel good about yourself as a person," says Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California, Riverside, another of Santos's sources. I held doors open for people and helped colleagues solve computer problems. The 18         I got made me feel better about myself, and they didn't cost me anything, unlike a massage. Kindness brings other happiness benefits, too, says Raj Raghunathan, author of If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? Helping others takes the 19         away from our own worries and problems, which can boost happiness. And because it doesn't result in the guilt that more 20         behaviors can, being generous won't increase levels of the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) cortisol. Perhaps surprisingly, kindness improves overall physical health. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. I decided to retire my personal social website account. It all began with a detailed review of my own Instagram account. I worked out that more than 80 per cent of the photos I had posted featured my 21         . In some ways this seemed 22         . If social websites are for a simple game of showing off, these two are clearly my pride. Next, however, I examined my husband's posts for 23         . In real life, he loves the kids no less than I do. Yet between his two social website accounts, they featured in only about 25 per cent of his photos. The 24         was split between a) kitchens he had designed and b) vinyl (黑胶) records he had purchased (the former being his job, the latter his addiction). We divide our time between work and childcare in comparable proportions. Yet the 25         suggested by our online selves was quite different. According to Katrin Tiidenberg, associate professor of social media and visual culture at Tallinn University, who is publishing a forthcoming book called Sex and Social Media, this is because men and women often have different 26         for sharing information on social media. When my husband posted a photo of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska on vinyl, his aim was 27         , my conversation with Tiidenberg implied. As the words on his post suggested, he mainly wanted the world to know that the 1982 album is: "so good". When I posted a photo of our daughter eating fish fingers in fancy dress, sure, I was 28         . She looked amazing. I was hoping that her star quality might reflect, just a little, on me. But according to Tiidenberg: "Women tend to use social media as a tool to maintain their social 29         . They take those into account when they post and when deciding how they post." A photo of a five-year-old in fancy dress, 30         , doesn't just say: "so good". It can, meanwhile, say: "Hello godmother, who we feel guilty for cancelling on the other day", "Hello cousins, who are now in Australia and feel a little disconnected..." Tiidenberg is careful to stress that she's "not making any essentialist argument" about women and men's 31         for either type of content. Instead, she argues, women have always been trained to take responsibility for cultivating and managing social networks: "They're told it's what they're 32         ." In the distant pre-digital past, women were 33         guardians of the family photo album. And even today, says Tiidenberg, a division of 34         labour endures within many families in our offline worlds: "Who remembers people's birthdays, sends your mother a card and buys the Christmas presents?" The knowledge that I had also 35         responsibility for the online equivalent made me feel angry. 21. A. children B. work C. addiction D. hobbies 22. A. strange B. unnecessary C. possible D. natural 23. A. information B. development C. consideration D. comparison 24. A. reality B. remainder C. knowledge D. visibility 25.

A. emotional B. casual C. domestic D. physical 35. A. denied B. shifted C. assumed D. stressed 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 just read. （A） Dance is increasingly being introduced to anyone who is interested for both health and recreational reasons. The National Lottery is funding courses and training, as are local authorities and regional arts associations. In addition, family doctors suggest patients take dance lessons, and young footballers are learning about rhythm and balance through hip-hop lessons. Simon Dove, the Yorkshire Dance Centre's organizer and promoter, says that attendance has doubled in the last three years. He owes this to more choice and easier access. And what a choice there is! There are 35 different lessons every week--everything from Arabic dancing to Egyptian, American tap, Asian and South African Township dance. 'People like coming here because it helps you stay fit and engages your mind, enabling you to interact with others,' Simon explains. Steven Johnson, 28, is one of the company's teachers. He goes into schools and introduces kids to jazz, street dance and hip-hop. He thinks that for the less academic, it gives them something to focus on. 'Several school teachers have reported back to me that normally difficult and disruptive children have become more manageable because of the lessons. I think it is because they have found something at school that they excel at, making them more confident. The lessons also make them more aware of their bodies and how they work.' For Flo Marsden, aged 71, her weekly dance lessons play a more social role in her life. 'It's the togetherness of dancing that is the best. A keep-fit class doesn't get you so involved with others. When I go out shopping I see people from the lessons and say hello. It makes you feel you are part of a community.' Dance is one of the five activities the Health Education Authority is promoting in its current Active for Life campaign, and this summer saw one of the first health and dance conferences in the UK. John Dunbar, one of the speakers, says that on a fitness level, dance can be just as effective as going running, and the results were the same. People are far more likely to keep up dancing rather than a running programme, so in that way it can be more suitable. So, if you're lucky enough to have dance classes near where you live, my advice to you would be to have a go! 36. What does Simon say about the dance classes in the second paragraph? A. Some are more popular than others. B. They are the quickest way to make friends. C. They are a very sociable way to exercise. D. There is no limit to the number you can take. 37. Steve Johnson believes that dance ______. A. has grown in popularity in less academic schools B. is suitable for the less active type of child C. can be taught by ordinary school teachers D. helps children who have low self-confidence 38. Why does Flo enjoy going to dance classes? A. They have enabled her to get over her shyness. B. They provide her with a sense of belonging. C. They allow her to meet people from outside the area. D. They make her feel more relaxed than other classes. 39. According to John Dunbar, dancing ______. A. has most effect on the health of older people B. needs to be done regularly to be effective C. is much better for you than running D. motivates people more than running （B） The Dirt on Organic Farming People assume that organic products come from small family farms, but many of the foods labeled organic in supermarkets are actually produced by large corporations. Big or small, a farm must follow the same rules to be certified organic: fertilizing (施肥) soil with natural substances, planting with organic seeds, rotating crops to protect soil, and allowing animals to graze (放牧). Using pesticides (杀虫剂) isn't completely forbidden on an organic farm. "There are about 25 chemicals that have been approved for use," says Jessica Shade, PhD, director of science programs at the Organic Center in Washington, DC. "But before organic farmers even use those 25, they have to prove that they have used every other method possible." While it may seem that there are all-natural farms everywhere these days, less than 1 percent of the 911 million acres of farmland in the United States are certified organic, according to the Pew Research Center. We know it's good for our health, but eating organic is costly. Organic produce carries a premium of 10 to 30 percent. Fortunately, a study has shown that the risk of ingesting pesticides is relatively low with certain foods, primarily because their thicker skins or outer covering protect us. At the top of the Environmental Working Group's "Clean 15" list: avocados and sweet corn, with less than 1 percent of the samples showing any pesticide residue. Organic farming isn't just about feeding you. According to Statista, pet owners will spend $6.8 billion on organic food for their dogs and cats this year, more than double a decade ago. But listen, animal lovers: Foods marked "natural" do not carry the same requirement as those that are certified organic. 40. What is the passage mainly intended to do? A. To introduce the history of organic farming. B. To make clear some facts concerning organic products. C. To persuade readers to be careful with organic products. D. To correct people's misunderstanding of organic farming. 41. What can be learned about the use of pesticides in organic farming from the passage? A. No pesticides are allowed to be used in organic farming. B. Some pesticides can be used only if no better method is available. C. Organic farmers are beginning to appeal for the use of pesticides. D. Only 25 chemicals are not included in the approved list for organic farming. 42. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Most organic farms are small family farms. B. Organic food for pets are often just labeled as "natural". C. In no case is non-organic produce better than organic produce. D. Only a small part of farmland in the US is devoted to organic farming. （C） "Moby-Dick" was, for me, one of those books classified as "things you should have read a long time ago". Plus, I am a mathematician. And despite my interest in literature, my intellectual priorities did not include a 400-page novel about whales. That all changed one day when I overheard a mathematician friend mention that "Moby-Dick" contains a reference to cycloids. Cycloids are among the most beautiful mathematical curves (曲线) in existence--the French mathematician Blaise Pascal found them so distractingly fascinating that he claimed merely thinking about them could relieve the pain of a bad toothache--but applications to whaling are not usually listed on their résumé. Curious, I finally read "Moby-Dick", and was delighted to find that it is full of mathematical metaphors. I realized further it's not just Herman Melville; Leo Tolstoy writes about calculus (微积分), James Joyce about geometry (几何). Regretfully, the connections between mathematics and literature have not received the attention they deserve. In fact, they are often considered to be against each other. I recall that at the end of my very last English class at school, in 1991, the teacher gave me a lovely handwritten note with a long list of books she thought I might like, saying, "Sorry to lose you to the lab." The idea that one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is, I think, something of a tragedy--not only because the two fields are fundamentally linked, but also because understanding these links can enhance your enjoyment of both. The perceived boundary between math and literature is actually a very recent idea. For most of recorded history, mathematics was part of every educated person's cultural awareness. The 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam, to whom the poetry collection known as the Rubaiyat is credited, was also a mathematician, and created beautiful geometric solutions to mathematical problems. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote both "The Canterbury Tales" and a paper on the astrolabe (星盘，用于测量天体的距离). There are innumerable such examples, not least that of Lewis Carroll, who, of course, was a mathematician first and an author second. There is a deeper reason we find mathematics at the heart of literature. The universe is full of underlying structure, pattern and regularity, and mathematics is the best tool we have for understanding it--that's why mathematics is often called the language of the universe, and why it is so vital to science. Since we humans are part of the universe, it is only natural that our forms of creative expression, literature among them, will also reveal a tendency for pattern and structure. 43. What inspired the writer to read "Moby-Dick"? A. The topic of the book. B. His friend's recommendation. C. His long-time interest in literature. D. There being some maths in the book. 44. The writer's English teacher's words are mentioned in paragraph 2 in order to A. form a sharp contrast with the attainment he later made B. show that maths and literature are regarded as distinctive subjects C. protest against the unfair treatment he once received while young D. imply that mathematics and literature haven't received proper attention 45. What do Omar Khayyam, Chaucer and Lewis Carroll have in common? A. All of them were famous novelists. B. All of them were in favour of reading widely. C. All of them were masters in both maths and literature. D. All of them were aware of the boundary between maths and literature. 46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Both maths and literature are part of the pursuit to understand the universe. B. There is enough research on the connections between maths and literature. C. Taking on maths and giving up literature was not a wise choice for him. D. Mathematicians may find it hard to understand ideas embedded in literature. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Next Frontier A. He thinks that, if humanity is to survive the development of artificial intelligence, it needs an upgrade. B. But well before then, BCIs could open the door to remarkable new applications. C. But the real magic lies higher up. D. Clear the technological barrier and another one appears. E. An ability to decode thought in this way may sound like science fiction. F. If a brain can be reached on the internet, it can also be hacked. Technologies are often billed as transformative. For William Kochevar, the term is justified. Mr Kochevar is paralysed (瘫痪的) below the shoulders after a cycling accident, yet has managed to feed himself by his own hand. This remarkable achievement is partly thanks to electrodes, implanted in his right arm, which stimulate muscles. 47         Mr Kochevar can control his arm using the power of thought. His intention to move is reflected in neural activity in his motor cortex (大脑皮层); these signals are detected by implants in his brain and processed into commands to activate the electrodes in his arms. 48         But brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) like the BrainGate system used by Mr Kochevar provide evidence that mind-control can work. Researchers are able to tell what words and images people have heard and seen from neural activity alone. Information can also be encoded and used to stimulate the brain. Over 300,000 people have cochlear (耳蜗) implants, which help them to hear by turning sound into electrical signals and sending them into the brain. Scientists have "injected" data into monkeys' heads, instructing them to perform actions through electrical pulses. As our Technology Quarterly in this issue explains, the pace of research into BCIs and the scale of its ambition are increasing. Silicon Valley is starting to focus on the brain. Kernel, a startup, has $100m to spend on neurotechnology. Elon Musk has formed a firm called Neuralink. 49         Business people imagine a world in which people can communicate telepathically, with each other and with machines, or acquire superhuman abilities, such as hearing at very high frequencies. These powers, if they ever materialise, are decades away. 50         Imagine stimulating the visual cortex to help the blind. By turning the firing of neurons into a resource to be used, BCIs may change the idea of what it means to be human. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 51. Teens and Screens Two large investors in Apple demanded that the technology company help parents limit their children's smartphone use, referring to research into the links between adolescent social-media habits and risk factors for suicide, such as depression. Old and new media abound with reports about phones' addictiveness. On the school run, parents compare strategies for limiting screen time. Before going for the off switch, parents and others should ask two questions. First, are smartphones, social media and so on actually to blame for adolescents' problems? Second, will cutting down on their use do much good? On the available evidence, the answers are, respectively, maybe and no. Some studies of Britain and America, which conduct large surveys of young people, have found correlations (相关性) between heavy technology use and unhappiness. Correlation is not causation, however: it could be that unhappy people seek refuge online. And the correlations are very weak. Only about 1% of the variability in young people's mental wellbeing can be explained by social-media or smartphone use. One British study suggests that eating breakfast regularly is more than three times as important. Parents who worry about their teenage kids can do something, however. Drive them out of the house, and worry a bit less about what they get up to. There is plenty of evidence for the cheering effects of hanging out with friends. Yet youngsters are doing less of this. Over-protective parents are probably one reason. Social pressure is another. It is revealing of broader attitudes that, in Britain, "teenagers hanging out on the streets" is a standard measure of anti-social behaviour. The authoritative Crime Survey of England and Wales asks people whether it is a problem where they live, alongside things such as drug dealing and burnt-out cars. That the rate of adolescent hanging-out has dropped from 33% to 16% in ten years may please criminologists, but it is unlikely to signal happier teenagers. IV.
