There is no such thing as a quick Web search. For example, you just want to look up one thing. But before you know it, you are likely to find more than 37 sites, and 45 minutes are likely to be wasted on what should be a 30-second exercise.
We used to waste our spare time in front of the TV. There is an old saying: No one can become successful sitting on the couch watching TV. The same is true of the Internet. And endlessly surfing the Web isn’t going to get your goals done. Nor is it going to magically make you successful. So reduce your endless surfing. But what should you do
If you really need to get work done without being disturbed, turn off the Internet. Use “airplane mode” on your phone. If you need a better way to do that, there are software apps that will let you block certain websites for a certain amount of time. These apps can block news but still let you do your work, research, etc.
These days, information can be easily found through a click or Web search. But do you really need to know the answer to every bit of trivia (琐事) that pops up in the course of your day Try not to immediately look everything up on the Internet. One search could end up costing you hours of time.
If you must search the Internet, set a time limit on your Web adventure. You’d better set an actual time. This can prevent you from staying online for too long. Leave the Internet immediately when you’re reminded to do that.
When you are surfing the Web, you may want to keep reading each linked (链接的) article. A great way to stop this is to save “other” articles and read them later. Use an app to save those articles. This allows you to save important information while preventing you from endlessly reading now.
24. The author writes the first two paragraphs to .
A. compare televisions and computers B. show how to find information
C. lead into the topic of the passage D. show the function of TV
25. What are the software apps mentioned in Paragraph 3 used for
A. Blocking advertisements online. B. Saving some money for you.
C. Providing us with interesting news. D. Limiting our use on certain websites.
26. What does the author suggest doing in Paragraph 5
A. Staying away from the Internet. B. Not communicating with others online.
C. Not reading other linked articles online. D. Setting a time limit for Web search.
27. In which column of a newspaper can you read the passage
A. Art and Style. B. Science and Technology.
C. Nature and Geography. D. Sports and Health.
C
Are you interested in food, United States history, and the English language If so, American cookbooks
provide wide information in all three subjects. The first, published in1796, started a market that continues in the
21st century with online publications of such works. And, the literature offers more than just recipes (食谱).
Amy Bentley is a food historian at New York University. She said that cookbooks from the 1800s were use a
as lifestyle and household guides. They include food recipes, but they were not central to the books back then. “So,
there re some recipes for food, but it could be recipes for a cleaning solvent (溶剂) or what to do when your child
has been poisoned and how to clean,” Bentley said.
American Cookery by Amelia Simmons is the first cookbook published in the United States. Simmons wrote
that her goal with the book was to improve the new generation of women in the US. And after the Civil War,
cookbooks became more manifold. Writers started exploring local foods and customs in their work.
Some communities would put together a group cookbook to raise money. These cookbooks provide a ook into
what the American middle class was eating throughout the years. Such works serve as a record of the traditions and
interests of different neighborhoods and groups.
Throughout the years cookbooks have signified humanity’s growth in knowledge, trends (趋势) and
inventions. During the last part of the 19th century, for example, many recipes were informed by the dangers of
food containing bacteria (细菌). Then, in the 1930s, refrigerators (冰箱) became common objects in American
homes. But cookbooks are not complete reflections of American life. Publishing companies mostly control
cookbook content. And, their main goal is to make money from book sales.
In the 21st century, with the growth of social media and food websites, publishing companies have less control.
These new ways to share recipes have led to more open discussions about food and cooking. This gives the public
more choices and power.
28. What can you find in the cookbooks from the 1800s
A. Travel guides. B. Popular clothes.
C. Cleaning methods. D. Historical events.
29. What does the underlined word “manifold” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Various. B. Famous. C. Challenging. D. Serious.
30. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning refrigerators
A. To tell the importance of refrigerators.
B. To show the development of technology.
C. To provide an example of social problems
D. To prove cookbooks reflect the progress of human life.
31. From which part of a magazine is the text probably taken
A. Language. B. History. C. Culture. D. Education.
D
From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to overuse technology.
“For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop in sight can feel like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail
commented.
A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team from the US-based company
Toll Free Forwarding built a 3-D model to uncover the harmful effects technology can have on human bodies in
less than 800 years.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone harms your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,”
explained Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert in the US. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra
effort to support the head, making our back bent (驼背) and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause
stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (手机手) ,” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician in
Serbia, told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow,
and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only
features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of
survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A
model called Emma was built by researchers in the UK in 2019 to show how the way people work at their desks
could change them in 20 years.
The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in France,
Germany and the UK. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are swollen (肿胀的) due to the time people spend in
front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.
32. What’s the function of Paragraph 1
A. To start a debate. B. To give suggestions.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To add background information.
33 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The bad effects of mobile phones on our bodies.
B. The time people spend on the mobile phones.
C. The influence of the computer model.
D. The advanced design of Mindy.
34. What does Emma look like
A. Beautiful. B. Tall. C. Thin. D. Unhealthy.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Two Models Serve As Human Helpers
B. More Attention Shall Be Paid to Our Necks
C. People Should Stay Away from Computer Games
D. Technology Might Change Our Body Shape

Best Classroom Practices in Teaching English as a Second Language
Teaching English as a second language for beginners is rewarding, but it surely feels a little fearful when you’re stepping into the classroom for the first time. ___36___
One great way to promote learning is to encourage students to use English instead of their mother tongue. This helps use their knowledge of English and further develop it. It also provides teaching moments for teachers and learning opportunities for students. ___37___ It works well with the “repeat after me” or “answer me” approach. Ask a student a question and give him/her a chance to answer in English.
When explaining an activity or giving directions, give both verbal (口头的) and written instructions. Doing so allows your students to hear words and see them in print at the same time. ___38___ Print off directions to an activity and distribute them to students before you explain an activity.
Take time in class to observe your students’ learning progress, such as asking them to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down sign. Avoid questions like “Do you understand ” or “Does anyone have questions ” ___39___ Walk around and talk to students to see if they are having trouble. Make yourself available as much as possible when students are doing in-class activities or other activities.
___40___ This helps ensure you don’t lose your students’ attention. Feel free to go a few minutes over if it will aid your lesson. After each mini-lesson, switch to a totally different sort of lesson. This will help refresh students and keep their attention. Change your mini-lessons daily. Try to incorporate as many different lessons as possible to keep your students’ attention and to challenge them. Change your strategy often but stick to the same material until your students understand it.
A. It will aid in words learning and pronunciation.
B. Repeat these methods as often as you can in class.
C. Here are some tips to help improve your classroom practices.
D. This strategy is best suitable for students with the basics of English.
E. You might want to give up after many attempts without good results.
F. These don’t give you good insight into how your students are really feeling.
G. Break the lesson into mini-courses when teaching beginners or young students.

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Due to my unhealthy eating habits, I became fatter and fatter after college. My good friend Anoush was a running enthusiast. So he advised me to lose weight by running. I didn’t agree at first until he promised to accompany me to run although he was busy with his work.
Seven years later, I got more serious about running. And I dreamed to participate in Boston Marathon. Anoush encouraged me to realize my dream. He also said he enjoyed running too and wanted to attend the same marathon with me. Every day we spared our time to practise hard and did about 2 marathons a year, during which time Anoush gave me much professional guidance and encouragement. And then one day, both of us qualified for the 2017 Boston Marathon. We were excited but unfortunately, several weeks before the marathon, we had a serious quarrel. Even I swore never to talk with him in the future.
The day came. Anoush and I stood at the starting line. He said, “Good luck! You will certainly finish the marathon.” Hearing his words, I looked at him, saying, “It’s none of your business.”
Then we started running. I had strong mental confidence by using positive self-talk when running distances, which has helped me finish 18 marathons. Soon, I passed Anoush.
But I struggled in the heat starting at mile 16. I felt most of my oxygen went to the muscle in my legs and less in my brain, which made me feel a bit lightheaded and fuzzy (迷迷糊糊的). I continually encouraged myself. “Just get to the finish, run bold, and you will win,” all phrases that I say to myself didn’t work any more.
Gradually I felt out of breath and had to slow down my pace. As I ran down the famous last stretch of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, I fell down on the ground with my legs moving like jello (果冻).
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, I felt that someone picked me up.

66.Dear Michael.
How’s everything going I’m writing to share exciting news — I won second place in our school’s English Dubbing Competition during the Art Festival!
Our team chose a scene from Zootopia. I voiced Judy Hopps, practicing daily to match her tone and emotions. Though nervous backstage, we encouraged each other. When the host announced our award, I almost cried! This experience taught me teamwork matters most, and confidence grows when you push your limits.
I miss our chats about movies. Let’s catch up soon!
Yours.

Just then, I felt that someone picked me up. Turing around, I found it was Anoush who helped me up. A wave of embarrassment swept over me and I was even at a loss at that moment. “Just stand up and go on to run. I will keep you company.” Anoush encouraged me with a big smile on his face. Looking into his faithful eyes, I realized that he was not cheating me and that he was really helping me. He just forgot the quarrel between us. I stood up and began to run with him.
When Anoush and I crossed the finish line, the audience at present applauded. Without any preparation, I was hugged by Anoush tightly. Suddenly, I felt regretful to break up with him. Then, I mustered up my courage to say sorry to Anoush. “Thank you and I am so sorry to you, my dear friend. I should not have quarreled with you.” “Just forget it. You know, we are good friends.” Anoush said. I felt more than happy and lucky to have such a friend in my life. Though quarrels between friends could not be avoided, as long as we have him/her in our mind, we would be good friends forever.

Good evening and welcome to the channel four news. I'm Jeffrey Stone. Today's top story takes us to the small village of Hilden. There are only about two hundred people who live there, and there is a big open area in the center for the weekly market. There is only one restaurant in the village, and it's been serving delicious food and drinks for more than two centuries. If you look closely, you may be able to tell what makes this village different. Do you see how all the houses are much higher than we might expect That's because Hilden is home to some of the tallest people in all of England. Both men and women are about twenty five percent taller than most others, and the tallest man in the village right now is seven and a half feet tall. That's taller than most NBA players. No one is sure why every one in Hilden is so tall, but we are going to find out. Stay with us, won't you This is going to be interesting.
