Have you ever been on social media and seen your favourite celebrity talking about a product These endorsements—might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy

Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to In Moment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. popular celebrity can target key demographics and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with the consumer.

D. are involved in the making of the products

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Criticized.
C. Touched. D. Amused.
9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant.
C Supportive. D. Unclear.
11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.
D
Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway The answer is a combination of athletics and science.
At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag（摩擦力和阻力）from slowing the sled down.
The design of the sled's runners（滑板）reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.
Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull（外壳）. As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.
Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”
12. What's the text mainly about
A. The shape of the sled. B. The design of the runners.
C. The safety rules applying to the sled. D. The elements relating to the sled's speed
13. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.
B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.
C. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward.
D. A sled's movement has nothing to do with weather.
14. What advantage does a sled with a hull have
A. It's comfortable to sit in. B. It leads to beneficial air flow.
C. It helps to create a safe ride. D. It's free from strict rules.
15. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Safety is the most important. B. Keeping high speed is difficult.
C. Riders' desire to win is understandable. D. The crew's cooperation is necessary.

How to Understand the Mind of an Interviewer
Getting inside an interviewer’s head can be tricky, as their perspective will change according to personality type, professional role, and personal experience.____16____

B. Expect the interviewer to quiz you on your resume.

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean
A. Warned. B. Criticized.
C. Touched. D. Amused.
9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，许多年轻人渴望暂时停下来喘口气，因此他们选择“躺平”，他们不愿总是遵循奋斗、忍受和牺牲的美德来承受压力。但他们大多数人都不想浪费了机会和挑战，也不会真正放下自己的责任。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children(低物质欲望，低消费，拒绝工作，结婚和生育的观念)…”对这种生活方式和“…many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society(在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，渴望停下来喘口气的许多年轻人)”年轻一代的生存状态的描述，可知，年轻人对这种观念是认同并受其影响的，划线词意为“触动，影响”，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”(许多千禧一代和z一代向《环球时报》抱怨，工作压力、家庭纠纷和经济压力等负担把他们逼到了绝境。).”可知，来自家庭和社会生活的日益增长的压力可能是致使年轻人“躺平”的生活方式的原因，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,(他们不愿总是遵循奋斗、忍受和牺牲的美德来承受压力，他们宁愿暂时躺下，作为宣泄和调整)”和“It is no wonder that some young people, … would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.(难怪一些年轻人，……会努力过一种简单的生活方式，把烦恼抛在脑后。)”可知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解的，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges(校园里的年轻人既有抱负，也对自己的未来感到困惑，但我们大多数人都拒绝了，把自己束之高悬，浪费了机会和挑战 )”和“It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later(逃跑没有用。我迟早要站起来面对现实。)”可知，他们从未真正放下自己的责任。故选A。
D
Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled（大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour, and riders can feel force five times stronger than the pull of gravity. A race can be won or lost by one hundredth of a second. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway The answer is a combination of athletics and science.
At the start of a race, the crew push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew have built up power in their legs. The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. All other work goes into keeping friction and drag（摩擦力和阻力）from slowing the sled down.
The design of the sled's runners（滑板）reduces their friction with the ice. The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.
Bobsleds used to be open. The riders did not sit inside a hull（外壳）. As the crew sped down the track，the air would create drag. Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. As with the runners，strict rules apply to the hull. For example，no team may add any part that would create helpful air currents.
Reducing friction and drag creates another challenge: high speeds. “The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.”
12. What's the text mainly about
A. The shape of the sled. B. The design of the runners.
C. The safety rules applying to the sled. D. The elements relating to the sled's speed
13. What can we know from the third paragraph
A. Proper amount of melted ice is needed for a fast ride.
B. The rounder the runners are, the faster the sled goes.
C. Thin layer of water would drag the runners backward.
D. A sled's movement has nothing to do with weather.
14. What advantage does a sled with a hull have
A. It's comfortable to sit in. B. It leads to beneficial air flow.
C. It helps to create a safe ride. D. It's free from strict rules.
15. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Safety is the most important. B. Keeping high speed is difficult.
C. Riders' desire to win is understandable. D. The crew's cooperation is necessary.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与雪橇速度有关的几个要素，同时强调尽管雪橇行驶得越快，比赛就越刺激，但安全是最重要的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway The answer is a combination of athletics and science.”（在高速公路上，雪橇怎么能比汽车跑得快呢 答案是体育和科学的结合）结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了与雪橇速度有关的要素。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The friction of a moving runner melts a little ice right under the runner, and the runner rides on that thin layer of water. The runners are rounded on the bottom. Runners that are too flat may not melt enough ice for fast ride. Runners that are too round may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down. No amount of rounding is perfect for all races because the hardness of the ice depends on the weather on race day.”（一个移动的转轮的摩擦力融化了转轮下面的一点冰，转轮依靠那层薄薄的水。滑道底部是圆形的。过于平坦的转轮可能无法融化足够的冰以进行快速骑行。太圆的转轮可能会变得太热，使冰变软，使雪橇减速。并没有任何一个圆度适合所有的比赛，因为冰层的硬度取决于比赛当天的天气）可推知要想快速骑行，需要适量的融化的冰。 故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Today, a sled's hull reduces drag by splitting the air in front of the sled and making it flow smoothly along the slides. ”（如今，雪橇的船壳通过分离雪橇前面的空气，使其平稳地沿着滑道流动，从而减少阻力）可知有船壳的雪橇的好处是它导致有益的空气流动。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The faster the sleds car travel on the run, the more thrilling the race,” one research team wrote. “But the track must not be too fast: he crew still need to be able to reach the bottom safely.””（一个研究小组写道：“雪橇行驶得越快，比赛就越刺激。但轨道不能太快：他的工作人员仍然需要能够安全到达底部。” ）可推知安全是最重要的。故选A。

【17题详解】
根据上文“Company culture (work-life balance, atmosphere, etc.) is a great indicator of what your interviewer will want to see in candidates.(公司文化（工作与生活的平衡，氛围等）是面试官希望在应聘者身上看到的一个很好的指标)”可知，上文提到面试官希望在应聘者身上看到公司文化，即和公司有相似的价值观，故G选项“在大多数情况下，面试官希望你和公司有相似的价值观”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】

【19题详解】
根据后文“Many interviewers determine the truthfulness of your resume this way. If you respond with answers that are inconsistent with what you wrote in your resume, many interviewers will interpret it as a red flag. Thus, remember to review the start and end dates of positions listed on your resume and try not to take offense to this kind of fact checking.(很多面试官通过这种方式来判断你简历的真实性。如果你的回答和你在简历中写的不一致，很多面试官会认为这是一个危险信号。因此，记得查看简历上职位的开始和结束日期，不要因为这种事实核查而冒犯别人)”可知，本段主要是关于面试官对简历的处理方式和看法，B选项中resume对应后文中resume。故B选项“期待面试官就你的简历提问”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章给读者报道了奥运会上，东京主办方移交下一个主办方巴黎的盛况。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：随着奥运会在东京结束，下一个主办城市，巴黎已经开始了它的庆祝。分析句子结构，started 后是宾语，名词celebration 前面需要修饰词，用it 的形容词性物主代词形式。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在周日的的闭幕式上，巴黎市长Anne Hidalgo 在东京体育馆接过并挥舞了一面奥运旗帜，传给下一个城市的一个传统仪式。根据句意可知最后一个逗号后面是对前文的解释，这里的pass 是名词，一个传统的传递仪式，缺少冠词。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：但是，接下来的移交仪式有一些变化。分析句子结构，介词to 后面是一个宾语从句，又根据下文是在描述移交的方式。故填how。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在一段拍摄的视频中，法国国家交响乐团奏响了法国国歌…… 分析句子结构，a 和名词video 的中间是修饰成分，故动词film意为拍摄，要变成非谓语形式，表示被动，用过去分词。故填filmed。
【40题详解】
考查易混词辨析。句意：后来，直播把观众带到了巴黎街头的移交庆祝现场。late 迟到，later on 后来，为固定短语。故填later。
【41题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：2024年奥运旗帜从埃菲尔铁塔上展开，组织者说这面旗帜作为飘扬过的最大的旗帜创造了世界纪录。根据句意可知，这面旗帜创造了世界纪录；分析句子结构，非限制性定语从句中缺主语，用which引导，故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：组织者计划在市中心举办比赛。分析句子结构可知，定冠词the后缺少名词，动词compete 的名词形式为competition，又奥运的比赛项目有很多，用复数形式。故填competitions。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：开幕式计划在巴黎中部的塞纳河举办，不是在一个体育馆。分析句子结构，这里是with 的复合结构，宾语为the opening ceremony 补足语为过去分词短语planned to take place along the Seine River in the middle of Paris。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：法国总统马克龙发表了短暂发言，说了更新的奥运口号：“更快，更高，更强，更团结。”分析句子结构，逗号前是一个完整的句子，这里的动词需要用非谓语，表示伴随，用doing形式。故填saying。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：埃菲尔铁塔附近的舞台上是从东京奥运会返回的法国奥运健儿。分析句子结构，本句使用了倒装结构，表方位的介词短语位于句首，是表语，后面的French Olympic athletes是主语。根据全文时态是过去。故填were。

57. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”

Paragraph 2:
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear, he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane’s hand tightly. By then, both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging. Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom’s joy was immense.
【解析】
