Carlos, a businessman, is tall, with a lively face. His son Paco isn’t as tall as his father, but his long arms and legs suggest he’ll still grow taller. Whenever Paco isn’t concentrating on his smartphone, he can be seen in scuba gear (水中呼吸装置). It is through this hobby that he bonds with his dad.
Paco, who is 14, is the second oldest among Carlos’ children: Javier, 21, Adriana, 10, and Carolina, 6.“I try to find common ground between me and my kids. I find something we all have in common, and then go from there,” says Carlos.“It’s all different with each of them. My eldest doesn’t like diving like Paco. So, for example, if they like games, I approach talking with them through their games, and then go from there. It’s just being there for them, listening to them, and knowing their problems and anxieties. You just need to let them know you’re there for them.“
For Carlos and Paco, it was diving, a hobby that the former started in 1997 when his dad bought a boat and decided to buy scuba gear for the whole family. “I got certified (获得认证) with my brother Richie. It was an on and off thing with diving,” Carlos shares. “Three years ago, I learned that Paco wanted to study how to dive as well, which gave me a reason to go back to diving.
“We even got certified for the advanced open water course together. That’s how committed we are to diving,“ Carlos says.“Hanging out with my dad is really fun because we get to create a lot of memories. Also, he always lets me have as much food as I want, so that’s a plus,” Paco adds. The two then talked about some of their best trips together when diving.“The most unforgettable one for me was our five-day Visayan live-aboard dive trip. The sights were excellent, and it was three dives a day, so we went underwater to our heart’s content. What else could I ask for “ says Carlos.
31. Carlos gets along well with his children by________.
A. learning some new skills from his children
B. training his children to be professional athletes
C. getting to know his kids through common interests
D. keeping his kids away from problems and anxieties

The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photos may outsource memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分心的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides.
When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
34. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To bring up a topic. B. To present an experience.
C. To show an approach. D. To give a suggestion.
35. What does the underlined word “outsource” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Make full use of. B. Get rid of.
C. Take the place of. D. Are made up of.
36. What may likely be discussed next
A. Situations when taking photos is better.
B. How to stay focused while taking photos.
C. When distraction is most likely to happen.
D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
37 Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Photography or Memories
B. Fewer Photos, More Memories
C. Photography Does Good to Memories
D. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly
D
The first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A lot of my friends and classmates had excitedly jumped onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on social media.
All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And now, as a freshman in college, I am looking back and wondering why I, unlike my classmates, have never been naturally interested in social media.
Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this has never related to me. I respect and understand those who do believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives with others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eyes, when not shared with others, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as meaningful, if not more so.
Most people have experienced feeling insecure (不安全) and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed about all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I’ve never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.
I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media.While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day.
38. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Social media are popular in schools.
B. Young pupils suffer from social media.
C. The author has no access to social media.
D. Social media contribute to students’ study.
39. From paragraph 3, we can know that ________.
A. students get easily distracted by social media
B. pictures of people taking part in exciting activities are not real
C. family gatherings are not meaningful if not shared with others
D. the author never shares aspects of his lives with others on social media
40. Why do people using social media might feel insecure
A. They post their images on social media.
B. They follow other people’s beauty standards totally.
C. Social media change the way they look at themselves.
D. Social media encourage them to be a unique individual.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. A to-do list can stop people using social media.
B. Social media can waste people’s valuable time.
C. Spending time with family always enjoys first priority.
D. Students pay more attention to social media than to study.

It's March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the Us dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centres. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels—the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers-before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2023 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
·Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades（十年）and then spend her time on music and painting.

Carlos, a businessman, is tall, with a lively face. His son Paco isn’t as tall as his father, but his long arms and legs suggest he’ll still grow taller. Whenever Paco isn’t concentrating on his smartphone, he can be seen in scuba gear (水中呼吸装置). It is through this hobby that he bonds with his dad.
Paco, who is 14, is the second oldest among Carlos’ children: Javier, 21, Adriana, 10, and Carolina, 6.“I try to find common ground between me and my kids. I find something we all have in common, and then go from there,” says Carlos.“It’s all different with each of them. My eldest doesn’t like diving like Paco. So, for example, if they like games, I approach talking with them through their games, and then go from there. It’s just being there for them, listening to them, and knowing their problems and anxieties. You just need to let them know you’re there for them.“
For Carlos and Paco, it was diving, a hobby that the former started in 1997 when his dad bought a boat and decided to buy scuba gear for the whole family. “I got certified (获得认证) with my brother Richie. It was an on and off thing with diving,” Carlos shares. “Three years ago, I learned that Paco wanted to study how to dive as well, which gave me a reason to go back to diving.
“We even got certified for the advanced open water course together. That’s how committed we are to diving,“ Carlos says.“Hanging out with my dad is really fun because we get to create a lot of memories. Also, he always lets me have as much food as I want, so that’s a plus,” Paco adds. The two then talked about some of their best trips together when diving.“The most unforgettable one for me was our five-day Visayan live-aboard dive trip. The sights were excellent, and it was three dives a day, so we went underwater to our heart’s content. What else could I ask for “ says Carlos.

The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photos may outsource memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分心的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides.
When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
34. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To bring up a topic. B. To present an experience.
C. To show an approach. D. To give a suggestion.
35. What does the underlined word “outsource” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Make full use of. B. Get rid of.
C. Take the place of. D. Are made up of.
36. What may likely be discussed next
A. Situations when taking photos is better.
B. How to stay focused while taking photos.
C. When distraction is most likely to happen.
D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
37. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Photography or Memories
B. Fewer Photos, More Memories
C. Photography Does Good to Memories
D. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly
【答案】34. A 35. C 36. D 37. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拍太多照片不利于人们铭记瞬间的美好，作者鼓励人们应有目的、有计划地拍照。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.(太阳落山了，孩子们在海浪中玩耍，他们的脸变得明亮起来。为了这个完美的时刻，你伸手去拿手机。但在你这么做之前，这里有一点令人惊讶的科学：拍照并不是你认为的保持记忆的完美方式)”可知，本段描写了海边游玩的美好画面，人们会习惯性地拿出手机拍照留念，但拍照并不是人们所以为的保存记忆的完美方式。由此推知，第一段的目的是引出文章的主题。故选A。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分心的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.(它以两种方式起作用：我们要么在拍照时摆脱了记住瞬间的责任，要么在拍照过程中分心，完全错过了那一刻)”可知，拍照让人们错过了一些记忆，让人们依赖相机而不是自己的大脑去回忆一些美好时刻。由此推知，划线词outsource与take the place of(代替)意思接近。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.(因此，照片是帮助记忆的极好工具，如果是有目的的，这是值得进一步探索的)”可推知，接下来文章可能会探讨如何照相以便能更好地记忆。故选D。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.(太阳落山了，孩子们在海浪中玩耍，他们的脸变得明亮起来。为了这个完美的时刻，你伸手去拿手机。但在你这么做之前，这里有一点令人惊讶的科学：拍照并不是你认为的保持记忆的完美方式)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了拍太多照片不利于人们铭记瞬间的美好，作者鼓励人们应有目的、有计划地拍照。由此可知，Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly(记住当下，合理拍照)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
D
The first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A lot of my friends and classmates had excitedly jumped onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on social media.
All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And now, as a freshman in college, I am looking back and wondering why I, unlike my classmates, have never been naturally interested in social media.
Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this has never related to me. I respect and understand those who do believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives with others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eyes, when not shared with others, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as meaningful, if not more so.
Most people have experienced feeling insecure (不安全) and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed about all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I’ve never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.
I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media.While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day.
38. What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Social media are popular in schools.
B. Young pupils suffer from social media.
C. The author has no access to social media.
D. Social media contribute to students’ study.
39. From paragraph 3, we can know that ________.
A. students get easily distracted by social media
B. pictures of people taking part in exciting activities are not real
C. family gatherings are not meaningful if not shared with others
D. the author never shares aspects of his lives with others on social media
40. Why do people using social media might feel insecure
A. They post their images on social media.
B. They follow other people’s beauty standards totally.
C. Social media change the way they look at themselves.
D. Social media encourage them to be a unique individual.
41. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. A to-do list can stop people using social media.
B. Social media can waste people’s valuable time.
C. Spending time with family always enjoys first priority.
D. Students pay more attention to social media than to study.
【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要从作者对自己不喜欢社交媒体的这一心理的反思入手，针对社交媒体对当下人们的影响进行思考和论述。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。文章前两段讲述了作者身边的人及作者本人对社交媒体平台的态度，结合第一段前两句“The first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A lot of my friends and classmates had excitedly jumped onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age.(我第一次听说同学们使用社交媒体是在四年级的时候。我的很多朋友和同学在很小的时候就兴奋地登上了Instagram这样的平台)”可知，在四年级的时候，作者的朋友和同学就纷纷参与到社交媒体平台，由此可推知，社交媒体很受学生欢迎。故选A项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The thought of doing this has never related to me. I respect and understand those who do believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives with others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eyes, when not shared with others, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as meaningful, if not more so. (我从来没想过要这么做。我尊重并理解那些相信使用社交媒体可以让他们表达自己并与他人分享生活的人。然而，我从来没有兴趣做同样的事情。在我看来，家庭聚会和朋友聚会在不与人分享的情况下，同样有意义，甚至更有意义)”可知，作者从来没有在社交媒体上分享自己与朋友和家人共度时光的照片。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Most people have experienced feeling insecure and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed about all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I’ve never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.(大多数人在社交媒体上都有过不安全感和缺乏自信的经历。被改变的照片代表着不切实际的美丽标准，只有通过危险的方式才能获得。即使不使用社交媒体，我也知道使用Instagram和Facebook等应用程序会让我在所有方面都感到尴尬，而这些方面却会让我成为一个独一无二的人。我从来都不想在看到社交媒体上的帖子后，立即将自己和自己的生活与其进行比较)”可知，社交媒体平台上的图片等内容可能是经过编辑的，一些美丽标准是不容易实现的。且这些社交媒体容易让人产生对比心理，阅读者往往将博主的生活和自己的生活进行对比，使自己对自己的看法产生变化，而作者不同于他人，作者是不想这样去对比的。由此可推知，使用社交媒体的人之所以会感到不安全是因为社交媒体使人们之间产生对比，改变了人们看待自己的方式。故选C项。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted by social media. While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages.(我经常观察到我的同学很容易被社交媒体分心。在努力完成家庭作业的同时，他们有一种强烈的冲动，想打开Instagram或Facebook，看看是否有新消息)”可知，社交媒体会影响完成作业的进度，使得人们浪费宝贵的时间去关注社交动态。故选B项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

How to deal with your homework
Write it down. ____42____ Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.
Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your home work. ____43____ It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.
Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute. ____44____ The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of (一堆) homework the next day.
____45____ Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.
Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study. ____46____
A. Use your time wisely.
B. Start as soon as you get home.
C. Start with your hardest homework.
D. Do not burn the midnight oil, either.
E. Never do your homework in front of the TV.
F. After short breaks, return to finish the rest of your homework.
G. Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.
【答案】42. G 43. E 44. B 45. A 46. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，作者旨在给读者就如何写作业提出了建议。
【42题详解】
前文“Write it down.”（写下作业。）和后文“Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.”（一定要把所有的作业都写下来，这样你就不会忘记任何东西。）可推测登记作业需要使用到一个笔记本，把作业都记在笔记本上，选项G意思为“使用作业笔记本记录所有作业。”，符合语境。故选G项。
【43题详解】
前文“Create a homework station.”（创建作业站。）告诉读者要为写作业制造一个独立的空间；后文“It will take twice as long to get the homework done.”（完成作业需要两倍的时间。）可知代词it指代的应该是影响写作业效率的场所。在电视机面前写作业可想而知，效率不高，选项E意为“不要在电视剧面前写作业”符合语境。故选E项。
【44题详解】
前文本段主旨句“Do homework as early as possible.”（尽可能快去写作业。）可知本段主要说明写作业的时间安排要尽早。选项B意为“你一回家立马做作业。”符合语境。故选B项。
【45题详解】
后文“Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject.”（想想你要花多长时间才能完成每个科目的家庭作业。）可知本段讲述的是各科时间分配问题。选项A意为“明智地使用时间。”符合语境，可作第四段的主题句。故选A项。
【46题详解】
前文“You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping.”（坐着完成一两个小时的作业而不停下来，你很容易感到疲劳。）指出做作业时不休息容易疲劳，不太好。即意味着作者建议写作业的建议也需要休息，需要劳逸结合。选项F意为“短暂休息后，回来完成剩余的作业。”符合语境。故选F项。
第三节：阅读短文，完成下列任务。（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8分）
It's March, 2050.
Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.
There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the Us dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centres. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels—the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers-before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2023 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.
·Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They communicate by computer. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades（十年）and then spend her time on music and painting.
