Family vlogging—the frequent recording and uploading of personal videos of the family．usually on video sharing website—has become big business nowadays, especially among parents of young children．The more viewers such videos can get, the more money the family can make．At first thought, it does seem like an easy way to make money．However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention
For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy—Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others. They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and ments from viewers and the expectations of sponsors（赞助者）can also affect the parents’ reactions towards their children．
Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives．As the children reach adolescence, there is a greater need for personal space．At 12 or 13, very few children would appreciate being filmed while eating or having a conversation with their friends．Teenhood is a time of significant change in an individual, both physically and emotionally, and is a time when parents need to protect their children and guide them, instead of exposing them to the eyes of the public．
Family vlogging can be irresistible, given how it allows parents to bring greater fun to their family lives．There is also the easy money and the fame to look forward to．Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake．
（ ）24．How does vlogging about children’s lives influence the family
A．Children will get used to public attention．
B．Children may suffer from too much pressure．
C．Parents may show no concern for their children．
D．Parents become addicted to exposing their children to the public．
（ ）25．How does the writer mainly develop his argument
A．By providing examples．
B．By listing numbers．
C．By making comparisons．
D．By analyzing causes．
（ ）26．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce a new big business．
B．To show how vlogging influences people’s lives．
C．To persuade parents to watch out for comments from viewers．
D．To convince parents of the danger of vlogging about children’s lives．
（ ）27．What’s the writer’s attitude to vlogging about children’s lives
A．Negative． B．Positive．
C．Neutral． D．Uninterested．
C
On Dec 9,2021, astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu held their first open class aboard the Tianhe core module of the Chinese space station for pupils．
In the 50-minute online class, the three astronaut s explained daily life in space, how to walk in a microgravity environment and showed the children how to recycle water, oxygen and carbon dioxide in their environment．Applause broke out among the 1,420-strong audience at the CSTM when one of the three astronauts poured out water, which formed into a perfect ball．Applause broke out again when they put an effervescent tablet（泡腾片）into the water, which sparked into bubbles（气泡）．But the bubbles did not burst and instead stayed complete．
The open science lesson was broadcast live to the nation．On domestic video-sharing website Bilibili alone, the open course was watched at least 6 million times, with more views on other platforms and TV channels．
For Shi Hao, a space specialist at China Acrospace Science and Technology Corporation, the growing desire of school pupils to pursue knowledge about space reflects the growing potential of China in exploring the universe in the future．
“I still remember how impressed I was by the launch of Shenzhou VI in September 2005．From then on, I have carved out the dream of pursuing my career in astronautics from the bottom of my heart.” Shi said．“For many people like me, this is not only a job, but a lifelong addiction and commitment．It is of vital importance to let Chinese youths touch astronautics during their childhood so as to sustain the building of talents.”
He was echoed（回应）by Zhou, who places high hopes on the future of China’s space industry．“We have a population of 1.4 billion, of which more than 200 million are pupils at school．By inspiring their enthusiasm, China will get an abundant supply of talents for the national space research team.”
“Chinese people will step further in the universe and the hope lies in our children,” he added．
28．What happened to the bubbles in the experiment
A．They kept in an original state．
B．They broke all of a sudden．
C．They disappeared completely．
D．They floated in the space craft．
29．What can we learn about Shi Hao
A．He was born with a talent in astronautics．
B．He is devoted to his career in astronautics．
C．He is an inspiration to many school pupils．
D．He was involved in the launch of Shenzhou VI．
30．Which statement will Zhou probably agree with
A．It is tough to inspire pupils’ enthusiasm at school．
B．It is essential to expose children to space exploration．
C．It is unlikely to get abundant space research talents．
D．It is challenging to launch space courses among pupils．
31．Why did the author write this passage
A．To introduce a unique lesson about an experiment in space．
B．To compliment the great achievements of space made in China．
C．To strengthen the importance of space knowledge among pupils．
D．To encourage astronautics staffs to devote themselves to their career．
D
Technology seems to discourage slow, immersive reading．Reading on a screen tires your eyes and makes it harder for you to keep your place．Online writing tends to be more skimmable and list-like than print．The cognitive neuroscientist Mary Walt argued recently that this “new norm” of skim reading is producing “an invisible, game -changing transformation” in how readers process words．The neuronal circuit that sustains the brain’s capacity to read now favors the rapid absorption of information．
We shouldn’t overplay this danger．All readers skim．From about the age of nine, our eyes start to bounce around the page, reading only about a quarter of the words properly, and filling in the gaps by inference．Nor is there anything new in these fears about declining attention spans．So far, the anxieties have proved to be false alarms．“Quite a few crities have been worried about attention spans lately and see very short stories as signs of cultural decline,” the American author Selvin Brown wrote．“No one ever said that poems were evidence of short attention spans.”
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read．For a start, it means that there is more to read, because more people than ever are writing．And digital writing is meant for rapid release and response．This mode of writing and reading can be interactive and fun．But often it treats other people’s words as something to be quickly harvested as fodder（素材）to say something else．Everyone talks over the top of everyone else, desperate to be heard．
Perhaps we should slow down．Reading is constantly promoted as a social good and source of personal achievement．But this advocacy often emphasizes “enthusiastic” “passionate” or “eager” reading, none of which adjectives suggest slow, quiet absorption．To a slow reader, a piece of writing can only be fully understood by immersing oneself in the words and their slow comprehension of a line of thought．
The human need for this kind of deep reading is too tenacious for any new technology to destroy．We often assume that technological change can’t be stopped and happens in one direction, so that older media like “dead-tree” books are kicked out by newer, more virtual forms．In practice, older technologies can coexist with new ones．The Kindle has not killed off the printed book any more than the car killed off the bicycle．We still want to enjoy slowly. formed ideas and carefully-chosen words．Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading．
32．Selvin Brown would probably agree that ______．
A．poetry reading is vital to attention spans
B．the gravity of cultural decline is urgent
C．fears of attention spans are unnecessary
D．online writing harms immersive reading
33．What is TRUE about digital writing
A．It demands writers to abandon traditional writing modes．
B．It leads to too much talking and not enough deep reflection．
C．It depends heavily on frequent interaction with the readers．
D．It paves the way for enthusiastic, passionate or eager reading．
34．What does the underlined word “tenacious” in the last paragraph mean
A．Deep-rooted．
B．Fast-advanced．
C．Slowly-changed．
D．Rarely-noticed．
35．Which can be the best title for this article
A．The Wonder of Deep Reading
B．Slow Reading is Here to Stay
C．The Internet is Changing the Way We Read
D．Digital vs Print: A Life-and-Death Struggle

Why Walking in Nature Makes You a Better Worker
We’re busy at work, distracted by technology and often live in urban environments far from wild spaces. 36 ．The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors．But what happens if we make time for an hour outside each day
37 ．You’ll have to go out for a walk, which is beneficial if most of your day involves sitting in front of a screen．Research shows short breaks can improve work enthusiasm, and a quick break in natural light will deliver a shot of vitamin D．
There are also a lot of mental benefits when you are in nature—you are happy and your brain can make sense of life．“When people are all out in nature, even in urban nature, people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors． 38 ,”said Lisa Nisbet, associate professor at Canada’s Trent University．
The idea that nature is good for us has been gaining grounds since the 1980s． 39 ．Afterwards, shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept, which is the practice of taking a short, leisurely visit to a forest for health benefits, followed that．Researchers of shinrin-yoku have since found plenty of physical and mental benefits, while global studies suggest spending time in nature can, for example, restore our ability to focus, increase our creativity, and even help us live longer．
Of course, many of us live in cities with no ready access to forests or the wilderness． 40 ．Various studies have shown that green environments in cities have beneficial effects．
A．We also don’t get out much
B．But it doesn’t have to be a forest
C．People can get to a forest for a hike
D．In other words, people are happier in nature
E．There are some obvious benefits when being outside
F．Green and blue spaces are better than busy city streets
G．First came the theory that humans have a basic desire to be connected with nature

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the day of the big cross-country run．Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest．
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence．He was small for ten years old．His usual big toothy smile was absent today．I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children．He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run．
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened．“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably．“I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration．I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing．After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward．
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid．He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing．That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team．It just took him longer—that’s all．David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish．As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination．
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me．_______________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other, runners．________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个美术馆。
21．A。细节理解题。根据第一个美术馆Martin Lawrence Galleries介绍中的第二句话“Located in a two-floor space in the heart of SoHo, this gallery provides a great fine art buying experience for all ages．（位于SoHo中心的一个两层空间，这个画廊为所有年龄的人提供了一个伟大的艺术品购买体验。）“以及下文中的地址和电话介绍中的内容“Location: 457 West Broadway, New York, NY, telephone:212-995-8865．（纽约市西百老汇街457号，电话：212-995-8865。）”可知，参观者如果想买艺术品,应该去位于纽约市的Martin Lawrence Galleries美术馆。故选A项。
22．A。细节理解题。根据第三个美术馆Bill Lowe Gallery介绍中前两句内容“For over three decades, Bill Lowe Gallery has served as a gate to global visual culture for art enthusiasts around the world．The unique juxtaposition （并列）of style is expressed in exhibitions with great visual drama．（三十多年来，Bill Lowe画廊一直为世界各地的艺术爱好者提供通往全球视觉文化的大门。我们独特的并置风格表现在具有巨大视觉戏剧性的展览中。）”可知,参观者在Bill Lowe Gallery美术馆能看到视觉文化。故选A项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了家庭视频博客中把孩子的生活公之于众对孩子的影响，以此让家长相信关于孩子生活的视频博客存在的危险。
24．B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy—Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others．They then feel the pressure to be perfect, and as that is something not always possible, they become anxious and stressed．（一方面，随着孩子们的成长,他们越来越意识到他们所做的事情需要足够令人钦佩，以供公众欣赏——作为孩子，他们也会想尽一切办法取悦别人，然后，他们会感到要完美的压力，因为这并不总是可能的，他们变得焦虑和压力。）”可知，孩子们为了取悦公众，他们会感到要完美的压力，从而变得焦虑和有压力，所以关于孩子的视频博客会让孩子感到很大的压力。故选B项。
25．D．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For one thing, as the children grow up, they increasingly become aware that what they do needs to be admirable enough for the public to enjoy—Being young children, they also would want to do whatever it takes to please others.”以及第三段中的“Another problem is the lack of privacy in the children’s lives．As the children reach adolescence, there is a greaser need for personal space．（另一个问题是孩子们生活中缺乏隐私。随着孩子们进入青春期，他们对个人空间的需求越来越大。）”可知，作者在首段陈述观点后，在下文中从两个方面分析了家庭视频博客将关于孩子生活的视频公布于众产生的一些问题，所以，作者是通过分析原因的方式来展开他的论点的。故选D项。
26．D．推理判断题。根据首段中的“However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention （然而，我们把他们的生活公之于众是对的吗 ）”可知，作者在首段用提问的方式引出本文的主题——把孩子的生活公之于众，对吗 接下来从两个方面分析了家庭视频博客将孩子的生活公之于众存在的问题，结合尾段中的“Indeed, all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake．（事实上，一切都可能顺利进行，但前提是父母要记住，如果管理不善，让孩子在公众无情的目光下生活可能会是一个巨大的错误。）”可知，作者提醒家长，如果管理不善，把孩子公之于众可能是一个巨大的错误，所以本文的目的是让家长相信关于孩子生活的视频博客是有危险的。故选D项。
27．A。推理判断题。根据首段中的“However, are we doing right by putting their lives up for public attention ”可知，作者在首段用提问的方式引出本文的主题，说明作者对此做法持怀疑态度，结合尾段中的“Indeed，all would probably go well, but only as long as parents keep in mind that, if not managed well, making their children live their lives in the unforgiving eyes of the public could prove to be a big mistake.”可知，作者通过分析，向家长阐明，如果管理不善，把孩子公之于众可能是一个巨大的错误，由此可推断，作者对关于孩子生活的家庭视频博客持否定的态度。故选A项。
28．A。根据第二段的最后一句“But the bubbles did not burst and instead stayed complete.”可知，气泡保持了原有的状态，故选A．
29．B。根据第五段中“For many people like me, this is not only a job, but a lifelong addiction and commitment”．Shi Hao视航天工作为终身的爱好和奉献，可知Shi Hao致力于航天事业，故选B。
30．B。根据第六段中周先生所说的内容以及最后一段中“Chinese people will step further in the universe and the hope lies in our children”可知，周先生寄希望于中国的孩子，他认为孩子们是中国航天事业的未来，孩子们学习航天知识是必要的，故选B。
31．C。根据全文内容可知，作者通过介绍太空课程来激发学生对太空了解的欲望，培养学生对航空航天的兴趣，为未来中国航天事业培养人才同时，通过石浩和周先生的语言表述进一步表明加强学生航空航天知识学习的重要性，故选C。
题目改编自2023北京西城统考一模D篇
32．C。很多批评家担心注意力持续时间，并把很短的故事视为文化衰落，Selvin Brown认为对比诗歌，没有人把诗歌视为注意力持续时间短的证据。Sclvin Brown的观点是为了进一步支撑上文“the anxieties have proved to be falsealarms”。因此选C．
33．B。根据文章第三段可知，数字写作和阅读的兴起使得别人的话语成为可以迅速收获的东西，当作自己的素材。每一个人都凌驾于他人之上而发表观点，渴望自己被听到。这跟传统的慢速沉浸式阅读相比，没有充分理解和思考文章。因此选B．
34．A。上一段作者提出了我们应该回到慢速阅读。根据下文举了Kindle没有取代纸质书籍，汽车没有击垮自行车的例子，提出“We still want to enjoy slowly-formed ideas and carefully-chosen words.”的观点可知，人们对于这种深度阅读的需求太执着、太坚定，任何新技术都不能将其摧毁。
35．B。文章第一段提出了科技改变了阅读、写作方式和大脑的信息获取，第二段提出不要为此焦虑，第三段肯定了digital writing 和online reading的优势，也提出了其存在的问题，第四段呼吁we need to slow down，最后一段强调“Even in a fast-moving age, there is time for slow reading.”由此，可知，慢速阅读仍为大家所需要，因此选B。
【语篇导读】到户外走走，而不是一直待在室内，对人们的身体和精神健康大有裨益。
36．A．根据空后一句“The average American, for example, spends about 90% of their life indoors.”可知，平均每位美国人90%的时间都是在室内度过的，由此可推知，A项符合语境。
37．E。本空是段首句，与下一段的首句“There are also a lot of mental benefits．．．can make sense of life.”呼应，并结合对本段内容的整体理解可知，本段主要讲述了出去走走的一些明显的益处，所以E项与语境相符。
38．D。本段表述大自然对人的精神健康有益。根据语境并结合空前的“people tend to have more positive emotion and energy than when they are indoors”可推知，D项“换句话说,人们在大自然中更开心”与此处匹配。
39．G。根据空后一句“Afterwards, shinrin-yoku, the Japanese concept --followed that.”可推知，该空陈述的应是大自然对人类有益的理论或概念相关的内容，选项G的内容与空处相符，所以选G项。
40．B．空处承上启下。B选项中的“it doesn’t have to be a forest”与空前一句中的“with no ready access to forests or the wilderness”相衔接，且与空后一句中的“green environments in cities have beneficial effects”相呼应，所以选B项。
41．B。根据下文可知，在Mr Bricker的鼓励下，作者才有了那次机会。
42．A。根据下文中的“It just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing.”可知，此处指在一年级和二年级的时候,作者非常害羞。
43．C．根据语境可知，Mr Bricker总是鼓励作者多写。
44．D。根据下文Mr Bricker鼓励作者担任主角和“I realized it was time to 51 my shyness.”可知，此处指作者认为Mr Bricker看到了自己内心的力量。
45．A。根据下文中的“I need someone to play the lead part of Dorothy.”可知，作者所在的班级要表演一出戏剧。
46．C。根据“raised their hands at once”可知，此处是指有几个激动的学生马上举起了手。
47．D。根据下文中的“You’re great at…while writing the play!”可知，Mr Bricker认为作者是扮演Dorothy的最佳人选，因此惊讶于作者没有举手。
48．D。上文提到作者是个很内向的人，所以此处指只是想到站在舞台上面对很多人作者就感到很害怕（terrified）。
49．C。 根据下文中的“so you won’t worry about lines”可知，Mr Bricker认为作者擅长记忆。
50．B。根据语境可知,此处指Mr Bricker在写剧本的时候就已经把作者当成Dorothy的人选了。have sb．in mind （for sth．）“心中已有某人（作为 的目标选项）。”
51．A。作者意识到是时候摆脱害羞了。throw off摆脱;show off炫耀；give off释放；call off取消。
52．A。根据常识和语境可知，经过五个月的练习，最后作者班级的表演取得了成功。
53．C．根据上文中的“when the audience stood and applauded”可知，观众为作者的表演而欢呼喝彩。
54．D。根据语境可知，观众不仅是在为作者那晚的表演喝彩，也为作者在今后的人生中的表现而喝彩，上文中的performance 是提示。
55．B。根据全文内容可知，作者一开始不敢举手申请角色，最后却成功地完成了演出，由此可知作者新获得的是自信。
56．are learning 57．equipped 58．a 59．to engage/to be engaged 60．handling
61．to 62．but 63．understanding 64．saw 65．what

第一节
【参考范文】
There is rising concern about environmental pollution．For me personally, both individuals and the government should try their best to improve the environment．
As individuals, we can grow more plants to absorb poisonous gases and produce the oxygen we breathe. Meanwhile, we should make good use of public transportation instead of driving cars or taking taxis, which will reduce both traffic jams and air pollution．As for the government, it should appeal to more citizens to take action and make strict laws to punish those who damage the environment．
All in all, it takes all our efforts to reduce pollution and create a pleasant environment．（105词）
第二节
【参考范文】
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me．His mouth pouting（噘嘴）as though he was determined not to cry．“My boy, can you tell me your true thought ” I put my hand on his shoulder．He sniffled（啜泣）quietly, tears threatening to spill from his eyes．After numbing（麻木）there for seconds, he choked: “I am bound to lose．They will laugh at me in my silly running form.” “You have already poured your sweat, your blood, and your heart into this game．Never forget why you started.” I patted his shoulder gently． “You need to show them who you are．I have faith in you.” Hearing this, he wiped the tears off, and walked arduously（艰难地）towards the starting line step by step．
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners．He took a deep breath and blew on his hands．The eyes of the audience were fixed on him．So restless was he that he began to tremble all over．The competition began．All the contestants darted away（猛冲）except David．He dragged his feet with all his might．As time went by, the audiences were touched by his perseverance deeply and applauded warmly．David ended up with the last place in this race but nobody poured ridicule（嘲笑）on him．Instead, everyone cheered on him lustily（劲头十足地）．I dashed toward David and gave him a hug: “You made it! I am so proud of you!” David wore a shining smile on his face and whispered: “Thank you very much, sir．You have taught me the most significant lesson of my life—don’t forget why we started.”

Emergencies don’t happen very often．But when they do, you want to get help fast．No one wants to spend time looking up the phone number．That’s why 911 was created to make it easy．In the United States and Canada, dialing 911 on your phone is the fastest way you can get help for yourself or someone else．
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies．They worked with the phone company to create a “Universal Emergency Number”．They decided that 911 was easy to remember. The very first 911 call was made on February 16th, 1968．Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada．
Not too many years ago, people found that getting the right number for the right emergency workers could be very confusing, especially if a person was in a hurry or in an unfamiliar area．
Today, it’s as simple as dialing 911．With 911, you can reach the fire department, the police, or an ambulance. When you call 911, an emergency operator immediately connects you to the person you need．
Other countries may use another three numbers．In Great Britain, for instance, it’s 999．If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book．
