When you’re faced with challenges in life, you have two choices — you can either give in to the challenge, or you can conquer (征服) it. Jasmine Mazard-Larry is a conqueror. The 17-year-old is graduating from high school with a highly impressive GPA of 8.07.
Jasmine has faced several difficulties during her young life, one of which is struggling with hearing loss. Worse still, four years ago her family lost everything in a disastrous house fire, leaving Jasmine homeless for the first two years of high school. Jasmine had every reason to just give up and let her situation beat her. Instead, she used her challenges to fuel her.
“She dealt with a really difficult situation but she didn’t allow it to stop her from meeting her goals. I think that was really extraordinary, and she was just very goal-driven from day one,” her principal, Marlee Strawn, said.
Throughout her high school years, Jasmine has taken Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual credit courses, and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education, all of which contribute to her high GPA. On top of her academic (学业的) achievements, Jasmine takes an active part in various extracurricular (课外的) activities, including those from the student government association, the student council, speech and debate teams, the robotic club, and the art club.
So what is it that drives her “I use my little brother as my motivation,” Jasmine said. “Sometimes it can be challenging, but when I look at him, I want to be a role model for him.
Jasmine also encourages young people like her to fight bard against any difficulty that is preventing their progress. “We all have our own story. There’s the good and the bad. But don’t ignore the bad because it makes you who you are. In 20 or 10 years from now, you’re going to look back and be like.
‘I did that. I overcame all of these challenges, and here I am today,’” she said.
4. How did Jasmine probably feel when she was in high school
A. Concerned and hopeless. B. Stressed but determined.
C. Grateful and confident D. Lonely but inspired.
5. What can we infer about Jasmine from paragraph 4
A. She puts her artistic talent to good use.
B. She shows outstanding leadership qualities.
C. She focuses on all-round development of herself.
D. She has difficulty balancing her studies and hobbies.
6. What do Jasmine’s words in the last paragraph want to convey
A. Hardships make people grow. B. Great hopes make great men.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Well begun is half done.
C
The impact of technology on human connections is a subject of constant, worthwhile debate. As author Julie Morgenstern points out, “Twenty years ago, we may not have imagined a world in which every person could hold great power in their hand. And then came the smartphone. Anyone can now gain knowledge that several decades ago was only accessible to the highly educated.”
Globally, social media platforms and messaging apps have made it easier than ever to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues, regardless of geographical distances. These communication tools help develop a sense of being connected despite physical separation.
Unfortunately, the same technology can also lead to loneliness. Excessive (过多的) screen time, particularly among younger generations, can replace face-to-face exchanges, potentially weakening social skills and deepening loneliness. This is often a point of concern and debate as it is seen to prevent people from experiencing and enjoying the present, physical moment.
Another Issue that can lead to the division of society is filter bubbles (过滤泡泡). Machine learning used by social media platforms and search engines often shows content that fits a user’s existing thoughts and preferences. Thus people are exposed only to information and opinions that deepen their own views.
One more concern for using technology focuses on the user’s privacy. Social media platforms such as Facebook have been offering their services without charge. But in exchange, people are tracked from site to site by technologies such as the cookies, and their personal data can be used to target them with related marketing. As people have become more aware of it, there is increasing potential for people to become more guarded in their online communication, therefore decreasing the development of any sincere online connections.
Actually, the impact of technology on human connections is not simply positive or negative. It’s a reflection of how we use the technology. If we are considerate about the way we use technology, we can realize its positive potential for bridging divides and bringing us closer together.
7. What does Julie Morgenstern mainly stress about technology
A. It deepens the existing social gap.
B. It helps achieve educational equality.
C. It promotes the connection between people.
D. It makes information acquisition widely easier.
8. What does the author think is the influence of filter bubbles on people
A. Narrowing their social circle. B. Strengthening their present belief.
C. Exposing them to different thoughts. D. Making them become open-minded.
9. Why do social media platforms offer free services according to paragraph 5
A. To ensure good user experience. B. To promote the use of the Internet.
C. To attract potential buyers of goods. D. To encourage online communication.
10. What may be the best title of the text
A. The dangers of excessive online time B. The privacy concerns for social media
C. How can we use technology correctly D. Is technology bridging or dividing society

D. Nowadays British homes serve tea at all times of the day. If you visit British homes in the daytime, they are likely to offer you a cup of tea.

Pros Interactive forums. Grammar explanations. Cons: Expensive to find a teacher. Limited free classes.
BBC Learning English This site provides you with quality educational materials like video lessons, radio shows, multiple-choice quizzes, and articles that cover various topics. Unfortunately, there are no interactive speaking classes.

When you’re faced with challenges in life, you have two choices — you can either give in to the challenge, or you can conquer (征服) it. Jasmine Mazard-Larry is a conqueror. The 17-year-old is graduating from high school with a highly impressive GPA of 8.07.
Jasmine has faced several difficulties during her young life, one of which is struggling with hearing loss. Worse still, four years ago her family lost everything in a disastrous house fire, leaving Jasmine homeless for the first two years of high school. Jasmine had every reason to just give up and let her situation beat her. Instead, she used her challenges to fuel her.
“She dealt with a really difficult situation but she didn’t allow it to stop her from meeting her goals. I think that was really extraordinary, and she was just very goal-driven from day one,” her principal, Marlee Strawn, said.
Throughout her high school years, Jasmine has taken Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual credit courses, and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education, all of which contribute to her high GPA. On top of her academic (学业的) achievements, Jasmine takes an active part in various extracurricular (课外的) activities, including those from the student government association, the student council, speech and debate teams, the robotic club, and the art club.
So what is it that drives her “I use my little brother as my motivation,” Jasmine said. “Sometimes it can be challenging, but when I look at him, I want to be a role model for him.
Jasmine also encourages young people like her to fight bard against any difficulty that is preventing their progress. “We all have our own story. There’s the good and the bad. But don’t ignore the bad because it makes you who you are. In 20 or 10 years from now, you’re going to look back and be like.
‘I did that. I overcame all of these challenges, and here I am today,’” she said.
4. How did Jasmine probably feel when she was in high school
A. Concerned and hopeless. B. Stressed but determined.
C. Grateful and confident D. Lonely but inspired.
5. What can we infer about Jasmine from paragraph 4
A. She puts her artistic talent to good use.
B. She shows outstanding leadership qualities.
C. She focuses on all-round development of herself.
D. She has difficulty balancing her studies and hobbies.
6. What do Jasmine’s words in the last paragraph want to convey
A. Hardships make people grow. B. Great hopes make great men.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Well begun is half done.
C
The impact of technology on human connections is a subject of constant, worthwhile debate. As author Julie Morgenstern points out, “Twenty years ago, we may not have imagined a world in which every person could hold great power in their hand. And then came the smartphone. Anyone can now gain knowledge that several decades ago was only accessible to the highly educated.”
Globally, social media platforms and messaging apps have made it easier than ever to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues, regardless of geographical distances. These communication tools help develop a sense of being connected despite physical separation.
Unfortunately, the same technology can also lead to loneliness. Excessive (过多的) screen time, particularly among younger generations, can replace face-to-face exchanges, potentially weakening social skills and deepening loneliness. This is often a point of concern and debate as it is seen to prevent people from experiencing and enjoying the present, physical moment.
Another Issue that can lead to the division of society is filter bubbles (过滤泡泡). Machine learning used by social media platforms and search engines often shows content that fits a user’s existing thoughts and preferences. Thus people are exposed only to information and opinions that deepen their own views.
One more concern for using technology focuses on the user’s privacy. Social media platforms such as Facebook have been offering their services without charge. But in exchange, people are tracked from site to site by technologies such as the cookies, and their personal data can be used to target them with related marketing. As people have become more aware of it, there is increasing potential for people to become more guarded in their online communication, therefore decreasing the development of any sincere online connections.
Actually, the impact of technology on human connections is not simply positive or negative. It’s a reflection of how we use the technology. If we are considerate about the way we use technology, we can realize its positive potential for bridging divides and bringing us closer together.
7. What does Julie Morgenstern mainly stress about technology
A. It deepens the existing social gap.
B. It helps achieve educational equality.
C. It promotes the connection between people.
D. It makes information acquisition widely easier.
8. What does the author think is the influence of filter bubbles on people
A. Narrowing their social circle. B. Strengthening their present belief.
C. Exposing them to different thoughts. D. Making them become open-minded.
9. Why do social media platforms offer free services according to paragraph 5
A. To ensure good user experience. B. To promote the use of the Internet.
C. To attract potential buyers of goods. D. To encourage online communication.
10. What may be the best title of the text
A. The dangers of excessive online time B. The privacy concerns for social media
C. How can we use technology correctly D. Is technology bridging or dividing society
第二节 语句排序 (共5小题：每小题2分。满分10分)
11. 将下列几个部分 (A、B、C、D和E) 按题号排下构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. In 1662, Catherine of Braganza sailed to England from Portugal to become Charles II’s wife, taking boxes of tea with her. They say she was the first to introduce tea drinking in the home.
B. Tea drinking became popular among the lower classes too, but they ate their evening meals much earlier!
C. The custom of afternoon tea probably originated with one person: Anna,7th Duchess of Bedford. In the early 1800s she came up with the idea of having tea in the late afternoon to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, which in fashionable circles was not served until 8o’clock at night.
D. Nowadays British homes serve tea at all times of the day. If you visit British homes in the daytime, they are likely to offer you a cup of tea.
E. Although tea is considered typically English, it did not really become part of English daily life until the 18 century. The first man to sell tea was Thomas Garway in 1657 in his coffee house in London. It soon became fashionable all over London.

When you’re faced with challenges in life, you have two choices — you can either give in to the challenge, or you can conquer (征服) it. Jasmine Mazard-Larry is a conqueror. The 17-year-old is graduating from high school with a highly impressive GPA of 8.07.
Jasmine has faced several difficulties during her young life, one of which is struggling with hearing loss. Worse still, four years ago her family lost everything in a disastrous house fire, leaving Jasmine homeless for the first two years of high school. Jasmine had every reason to just give up and let her situation beat her. Instead, she used her challenges to fuel her.
“She dealt with a really difficult situation, but she didn’t allow it to stop her from meeting her goals. I think that was really extraordinary, and she was just very goal-driven from day one,” her principal, Marlee Strawn, said.
Throughout her high school years, Jasmine has taken Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual credit courses, and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education, all of which contribute to her high GPA. On top of her academic (学业的) achievements, Jasmine takes an active part in various extracurricular (课外的) activities, including those from the student government association, the student council, speech and debate teams, the robotic club, and the art club.
So what is it that drives her “I use my little brother as my motivation,” Jasmine said. “Sometimes it can be challenging, but when I look at him, I want to be a role model for him.
Jasmine also encourages young people like her to fight bard against any difficulty that is preventing their progress. “We all have our own story. There’s the good and the bad. But don’t ignore the bad because it makes you who you are. In 20 or 10 years from now, you’re going to look back and be like.
‘I did that. I overcame all of these challenges, and here I am today,’” she said.
4. How did Jasmine probably feel when she was in high school
A. Concerned and hopeless. B. Stressed but determined.
C. Grateful and confident D. Lonely but inspired.
5. What can we infer about Jasmine from paragraph 4
A. She puts her artistic talent to good use.
B. She shows outstanding leadership qualities.
C. She focuses on all-round development of herself.
D. She has difficulty balancing her studies and hobbies.
6. What do Jasmine’s words in the last paragraph want to convey
A. Hardships make people grow. B. Great hopes make great men.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Well begun is half done.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A
C
The impact of technology on human connections is a subject of constant, worthwhile debate. As author Julie Morgenstern points out, “Twenty years ago, we may not have imagined a world in which every person could hold great power in their hand. And then came the smartphone. Anyone can now gain knowledge that several decades ago was only accessible to the highly educated.”
Globally, social media platforms and messaging apps have made it easier than ever to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues, regardless of geographical distances. These communication tools help develop a sense of being connected despite physical separation.
Unfortunately, the same technology can also lead to loneliness. Excessive (过多的) screen time, particularly among younger generations, can replace face-to-face exchanges, potentially weakening social skills and deepening loneliness. This is often a point of concern and debate as it is seen to prevent people from experiencing and enjoying the present, physical moment.
Another Issue that can lead to the division of society is filter bubbles (过滤泡泡). Machine learning used by social media platforms and search engines often shows content that fits a user’s existing thoughts and preferences. Thus people are exposed only to information and opinions that deepen their own views.
One more concern for using technology focuses on the user’s privacy. Social media platforms such as Facebook have been offering their services without charge. But in exchange, people are tracked from site to site by technologies such as the cookies, and their personal data can be used to target them with related marketing. As people have become more aware of it, there is increasing potential for people to become more guarded in their online communication, therefore decreasing the development of any sincere online connections.
Actually, the impact of technology on human connections is not simply positive or negative. It’s a reflection of how we use the technology. If we are considerate about the way we use technology, we can realize its positive potential for bridging divides and bringing us closer together.
7. What does Julie Morgenstern mainly stress about technology
A. It deepens the existing social gap.
B. It helps achieve educational equality.
C. It promotes the connection between people.
D. It makes information acquisition widely easier.
8. What does the author think is the influence of filter bubbles on people
A. Narrowing their social circle. B. Strengthening their present belief.
C. Exposing them to different thoughts. D. Making them become open-minded.
9. Why do social media platforms offer free services according to paragraph 5
A. To ensure good user experience. B. To promote the use of the Internet.
C. To attract potential buyers of goods. D. To encourage online communication.
10. What may be the best title of the text
A. The dangers of excessive online time B. The privacy concerns for social media
C. How can we use technology correctly D. Is technology bridging or dividing society
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. C 10. D

D. Nowadays British homes serve tea at all times of the day. If you visit British homes in the daytime, they are likely to offer you a cup of tea.
