C Bthan Shaw devotes his career to recording urban sounds in a time-honored city with profound history and 4 unique culture.Different from photographers who catch moments with images,he givcs all his efforts to collect daily sounds from streets and communities to preserve the warmth and memory of the urban area."Many peoplc regard a city as a visual space,but I hold the vicw that it is heard rather than just seen,"Shaw states. "Sounds cany more precious memories than we can imagine,and they help people feel connected to their roots." Shaw's city has ancicnt lancs()traditional stores and lively busy local markets.Every dawn,he hcads out with a professional microphone and a digital recorder.He records doorbells of historic residences,shouts of street vendors,laughter from community parks and the soft rustle of leaves in historic gardens.These ordinary but invaluable sounds are gradually fading away amid the rapid modernization of the city. For Shaw,preserving sounds is far more than recording casual noises.He considers himself a guardian of collective (city memories.Many elderly locals mention that certain sounds immediately bring their cheerful childhood days back to them,while younger citizens,in turn,gain a deep understanding of the city's past through these vivid and lively recordings. Cooperating closely with local museums and schools,Shaw spares no effort to promote his collection.He organizes offline sound exhibitions and Icads immersive workshops(沉浸式工作坊)for teenagers,.and some schools even use his recordings to instruct students in local history and traditional culture."I refuse to let these meaningful sounds yanish quietly,"Shaw explains."I expect them to exist forever and connect the differcnt generations closely." A city culture expert comments,"Thesc sound recordings are not meaningless noise.They are living history that helps citizens treasure their homeland and pass on the unique spirit of the city." 27.How do Shaw's recordings affcct local people? A.They slow down people's lifestyle. B.They replace traditional history lessons. C.They create strong ties between communitics. D.They dcepen people's understanding of the past. 28.What does the underlined word"vanish"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Disappear. B.Bscape. C.Settle. D.Maintain. 29.What can be inferred from the expert's words? A.Sound recordings carry live urban culture. B.Noise should be removed from cities. C.Sound collection won't last long. D.Written rccords can bctter preserve city spirit. ò A popular saying goes,"Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never burt me."However, that's not really true.Words carry a weight far beyond physical effect-they have the power to build us up into confidence,or tear us down into self-doubting shadows.Whether these words come from a stranger's casual comment,a loved one's thoughtless remark,or our own self-talk,their effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes,though many of us hide this habit out of embarrassment.in reality,this intemal dialogue is a natural and even healthy part of human cognition-experts increasingly recognize that vocal self-talk improves focus,memory,and problem-solving.Bc aware,though,that as much as 77%of self-talk tends to be negative.We scold ourselves for small mistakes,or dismiss()our achievements.This negative self-talk gradually destroys self-respeet slowly but surely.So in order to stay positive,we must consciously practice positive self-affirmation.Celebrate the small wins-finishing a work task,acing a quiz,or even just getting out of bed on a hard day-with a sincere "Good job". Equally important is the effect of the words we speak to others.Too often,we let words slip out without considering their weight:a critical comment that destroys,or a thoughtless remark that dismisses someone's feelings.Yet language is a tool of conncction or division.A warm "Thank you for your help"can brighten a stranger's day and strcngthen a relationship.Conversely,harsh()words leave scars that may never fully heal.For example,when returning an item to a store,we might use warm,friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner.Our words are contagious-kindness brings out kindness,while negativity fucis conflict. The lasting power of words is why we often regret things we've said in anger or hurry,and why unkind words spoken to us in childhood can still keep coming to our mind as adults.Before speaking,we should pause and ask three simple questions:Is it true?Is it kind?Is it nccessary?If the answer to any of these is"no",the words are better left unsaid. Words have cnormous power:both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope,build self-respect and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?The choice is ours. 30.What is the word "self-affirmation"in Paragraph 2 closest in meaning to? A.The act of exploring one's own talent. B.The act of improving one's own habits. C.The act of recognizing one's own worth. D.The act of learning onc's own weaknesses. 31.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To compare self-talk and words to others. B.To explain why negative words are common. C.To doscribe how self-talk affects people's confidence. D.To cncourage readers to use words in a positive way. 6 32.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A.The Reach of Words B.The Power of Words C.The Spread of Words D.The Warmth of Words E Nowadays,kids may ask,"Before smart phones came out,what did people do when they got lost?"They are not just curious-they are exploring how phone culture is changing the way we think,feel,and act in the digital age. In this digital age,kids have no experience of a "pre-Intemet mindset".In the past,when we faced uncertainties,like not knowing the shortest path,or the answer to a question,we couldn't get information easily like we do today.At that time,our brains had to adapt to that discomfort.We depcnded on our memory and came up with creative solutions..These cognitive(认知的)“workouts'”strengthened attention and problem-solving skills Now,with the wide use of phones and the Intemet,answers come quickly.There's less nced to memorize routes or struggle through problems alone.This change makes many people worry about technology's negative influence,and some even fall into a"deficit mindset",believing everything was better in the past.For example, they might think writing letters is far better than messaging,while overlooking the amazing efficiency and connectivity that technology brings. It's true that some studics suggest heavy social media use can challenge our focus.Bven a short sereen time affects brain areas for self-control and decision-making.But this isn't the whole story.New research,like a 2023 study on young adults,shows that technology also trains our brains in different ways.When dcaling with new things,it casily connccts us with different topics and culturcs,making our minds more open and adaptable. Therefore,instead of gainsaying the advantages that are brought about by the digital age,we should recognize the natural adaptation of the human brain.In fact,people have developed the following three basic modes of thinking to deal with problems today: The Deep-Thinking Mode The Quick-Lcaring Mode The Free-Switching Mode Disconnecting from digital tools Using technology as a tool to get Switching berween the two modes to develop your own ideas and information,solve problems according to your tasks and using building creativity that al cannot cffectively,and kecp up with the digital tools wisely only when they easily provide latest knowledge help you achieve your goals. Next time you face a problem,notice your natural response.Do you stand the uncertainty,reach for your 7 phone,or find a middle path?There is no single"right"way to think,for each mode offers unique advantages that our complex world needs.Understanding how your mind has adapted to our digital environment might just be your greatest strength. 33.Why does the writer mention the kids'question in Paragraph 1? A.To present kids'curiosity about the past life. B.To highlight the importance of phone culture. C.To stress the benefits that are brought by smart phones. D.To start the discussion of the influence of the digital age. 34.What does the word "gainsaying in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.sticking to B.speaking against C.giving in to D.putting up with 35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A.Curiosity encourages people's lifelong learning. B.Using social media develops decision-making skills. C.Recognizing cognitive strengths helps solve problems. D.A"deficit mindset"improves efficiency and connectivity. 36.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.The Influence of Digital World Over Attention B.The Workout of Our Brain to Remain Creative C.The Adaptation of Our Brain to the Digital Age D.The Changes of Pre-and After-Internet Environment 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题（共10分。） School should be a place to learn,grow,and feel happy.But for many teenagers,school life can be filled with stress,arguments,or quiet loneliness.Instead of suffering alone,some schools are introducing a special program called Peer Support to help students get through hard times and build a warmer atmosphere (in school. In Peer Support,students help and listen to each other.The program trains a group of students to be listeners and guides.These peer supporters have the following qualities in common:they are usually patient, caring,and good at communicating.After special training,they learn how to listen carefully,keep secrets safe, and encourage their classmates to face difficulties bravely.If a classmate's problem is too serious,the peer supporter will guide them to talk to a teacher or a parent. 8 At many middle schools,peer supporters play an important role in helping lonely or struggling students fit in and seek help.Take 15-year-old Bric for example.He was a shy student who always sat alone in the classroom. He struggled with his math grades and was afraid to ask teachers for help,fearing he would be laughed at by other students."When I noticed his low spirits,I sat with him during lunch break and invited him to join a small study group,"said Sarah,his peer supporter in an interview."With Sarah's gentle support,now I feel safe enough to share my trouble,"Bric added. This program benefits both sides.For students who need help,peer supporters offer a non-judgmental ear. It can reduce anxiety and loneliness quickly because talking to a friend often feels easier than talking to adults. For the peer supporters themselves,they learn to understand others'feelings and how to communicate effectively. Peer Support also changes the whole school atmosphere.When students see that their classmates care about them,the sense of community becomes stronger.Classrooms become warmer,and arguments are more likely to be solved peacefully. Peer support programs prove that the most powerful help sometimes comes from a friend standing right beside you. 37.Why do some schools intrpduce Peer Support? 38.What qualities do the peer supporters have in common? 39.How did Sarah help Eric when she noticed his low spirit? 40.If your friend Peter is having a hard time,will you advise him to go to Peer Support?Why?(Give at least two reasons) 五、书面表达（共10分.） 假设你是李华，你校英语社团正在开展“理性消费(Rational Consumption)"主题调查活动.请先填写 下表（所填信息不作为评分依据，也不需要填写在答题纸上），明确你的零花钱分配占比（恪项占比合计为 100%情况；再根据表格内容，用英文写一篇短文，介绍你的消费情况，并反思自身的消费习惯.根据所 给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于60词的英语文段写作，文中已给出的内容不计人总词数.所给提 示词语仅供选用，请不要写出真实校名、姓名和地名， 提示词语：spending habit,.manage,.do well in,,make a plan,meaningful 提示问题： 1.How do you usually spend your pocket money? 2.Reflect(反思)on your spending habits..
