TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. Take “skibidi”, a term that became popular everywhere due to a widely shared video of a singing head in a toilet, for example; it means “cool”, “bad” or “very”, depending on the context.
On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug).
The change of language on TikTok is also due, in large part, to the age of its users. Most are 18-34 years old. That matters because “Young people are language pioneers,” says Christian llbury, a professor at the University of Edinburgh. For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”.
The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. Other slang comes from specific groups: black people have created and spread hundreds of English words over the years, from “cool” to “tea” (gossip). News reporters and screenwriters spread such words; now TikTokers do, too.
24.What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A.The rapid rise of TikTok. B.TikTok’s effect on language.
C.Outdated words becoming popular. D.Young people creating new words.
25.How does the author mainly develop the argument in Paragraph 2
A.By telling stories. B.By presenting data.
C.By giving examples. D.By making comparison.
26.What does the author mean by saying “language-based identity work” in Paragraph 3
A.Creating language to express one’s uniqueness.
B.Using language to create popular online topics.
C.Changing language to fit in with different groups.
D.Using language to describe job-related activities.
27.What can we learn from the text about TikTok
A.It’s promoting formal speech. B.It’s unifying global language styles.
C.It limits the use of indirect language. D.It spreads slang through fan groups.
C
After a few days in Pittsburgh, I was happy to leave the city and enjoy the harmony of the countryside. I left my hotel early and drove south to the Bear Run Nature Reserve. As I arrived, I was immediately impressed by the charming Laurel Highlands and other natural sights. However, I was not there to enjoy beauty: I was there to see a house, one of the most famous houses in the world.
The house I had come to see is Fallingwater. It is called Fallingwater because it was built over a waterfall. As most houses are built on solid ground, this house’s location instantly made it famous. When you approach the house, surrounded by forest, streams and mountains, it looks as though the clear blue water were flowing through it, since the stream rushes out from under the ground floor of the building.
The house was designed by the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, for businessman Edgar Kaufman and his family. As I toured the house, I learnt that it took Wright three years to build the place. The Kaufman family had asked him to design them a home in the middle of the countryside where they could enjoy the sights and sounds of the natural world. Though they lived in the city, they loved to come to the mountains to spend some time in the peace and quiet of nature, where they could go camping in the forest and play in the stream with their children. In fact, they loved the water so much that they asked Wright to design a house that would let them view the beautiful waterfall every day.
Many people have suggested that this incredible building is a work of art, and I would agree that this beautiful house is a masterpiece of design. It also demonstrates how important it is to live side-by-side with nature and to respect it rather than try to dominate it.
28.________ impressed the author first as he arrived at the location of Fallingwater.
A.The beauty of nature. B.The sight of the waterfall.
C.The designer of the house. D.The preservation of the environment.
29.Fallingwater quickly became famous because ________.
A.a famous architect designed it. B.it was built over waterfall.
C.blue water flowed through it. D.it was situated in a nature reserve.
30.The Kaufman family had the house built there in order to ________.
A.move to the countryside. B.live in a masterpiece.
C.enjoy the harmony of nature. D.create a new scenic spot.
31.What is the best title of the passage
A.A Talent Designer and His Masterpiece. B.Human and Nature.
C.A House over Waterfall. D.Life in Fallingwate.

III. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A (每题1分,共15分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The benefits of a bilingual brain
Hablas espafiol Parlez-yous francais 你会说中文吗 If you answered, “sí,” “oui,” or “会” and you’re watching this in English, 36 are you belong to the world’s bilingual and multilingual majority. And besides having an easier time traveling or watching movies without subtitles, knowing two or more languages means that your brain may actually look and work 37 than those of your monolingual friends.
So what does it really mean to know a language Language ability is typically measured in two active parts, speaking and writing, and two 38 parts, listening and reading. While a(n) 39 bilingual has near equal abilities across the board in two languages, most bilingual around the world know and use their languages in varying proportions. And 40 their situation and how they acquired each language, they can be 41 into three general types. For example, let’s take Gabriella, whose family immigrates to the US from Peru when she’s two-years old. As a compound bilingual, Gabriella develops two linguistic codes simultaneously (同时地), with a single set of concepts, learning both English and Spanish as she begins to 42 the world around her. Her teenage brother, on the other hand, might be a coordinate bilingual, working with two sets of concepts, learning English in school, while 43 to speak Spanish at home and with friends. Finally, Gabriella’s parents are likely to be subordinate (次要的) bilinguals who learn a secondary language by filtering it through their mother 44 .
Because all types of bilingual people can become fully proficient in a language 45 accent or pronunciation, the difference may not be apparent to a casual observer. But recent 46 ·in brain imaging technology have given neurolinguists a glimpse into how specific aspects of language learning affect the bilingual brain. It’s well known that the brain’s left hemisphere is more dominant and analytical in 47 processes. while the right hemisphere is more active in emotional and social ones, though this is a matter of degree, not an absolute split. The fact that language involves both types of functions while lateralization (脑部的偏侧性) develops gradually with age,has led to the critical period hypothesis. According to this theory, children learn languages more easily, because the plasticity of their developing brains lets them use both hemispheres in language acquisition, while in most adults, language is lateralized to one hemisphere, usually the left.
But regardless of when you acquire additional languages, being multilingual gives your brain some 48 advantages. Some of these are even visible, such as higher density of the grey matter that contains most of your brain’s neurons and synapses, and more activity in certain regions when engaging a second language. The heightened 49 a bilingual brain receives throughout its life can also help delay the onset of diseases, like Alzheimer’s and dementia by as much as five years.
So, while bilingualism may not 50 make you smarter, it does make your brain more healthy, complex and actively engaged, and even if you didn’t have the good fortune of learning a second language as a child, it’s never too late to do yourself a favor and make the linguistic leap from, “Hello,” to, “Hola,” “Bonjour” or “你好’s” because when it comes to our brains a little exercise can go a long way.
36.A.opportunities B.changes C.chances D.collections
37.A.deliberately B.dominantly C.differently D.dramatically
38.A.primitive B.passive C.pessimistic D.primary
39.A.balanced B.imbalanced C.biological D.well-behaved

Hemingway’s Art of Omission (省略)
Ernest Hemingway, celebrated for his plain prose, believed that profound truths hide beneath simplicity. 51 (grow) up in Illinois, he developed a love for outdoor adventures — experiences 52 later provided raw material for his war novels.
When World War I broke out, Hemingway, rejected by the army 53 poor eyesight, volunteered as an ambulance driver. This decision marked the beginning of his lifelong fascination with exploring human courage in extreme conditions. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, remains one of literature’s 54 (moving) anti-war statements.
Central to his writing was the “iceberg theory” — the idea 55 omitting unnecessary details allows readers to perceive deeper meanings. In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago’s battle with the marlin becomes a universal metaphor for perseverance. What astonished critics was how Hemingway managed 56 (convey) existential despair through deceptively simple dialogues.
Hemingway’s personal life, however, was anything but peaceful. Married four times, he struggled with depression, yet his characters, 57 often faced hardship with steady determination, showed great strength and bravery.
The writer once compared crafting fiction to bullfighting: “It’s not about describing every drop of blood, but making readers feel the horn’s shadow.” This principle explains why his stories, 58 (write) in simple language, strike emotional chords.
Today, as AI attempts to imitate his style, we 59 (remind) that Hemingway’s true legacy lies not in what he wrote, 60 in what he dared to leave unsaid — a testament to the power of disciplined silence.

Animal “languages”
Is language the exclusive property of the human species The idea of talking animals is as old and as widespread among human societies as language itself. All cultures have legends in which some animal plays a speaking role. “Fox” is a favorite 61 in many Native American tales, and many an animal takes the stage in Aesop’s famous fables.
If language is viewed only as a system of communication, then many species communicate. The question is whether these communication systems are at all like human linguistic knowledge, which is gained by children with no clear instruction, and which is used 62 , rather than simply in response to internal or external stimuli.
Most humans who acquire language use speech sounds to express meanings, but such sounds are not necessarily a basic part of what we have been calling language, as 63 by the sign languages. The chirping of birds and the dancing of bees may potentially represent systems 64 to human languages. If animal communication systems are not like human language, it will not be because of a(n) 65 of speech.
Conversely (相反地), when animals vocally mimic human speaking, it does not mean they 66 language. Language is a system that relates sounds or gestures to meanings. Talking birds such as parrots are capable of 67 reproducing words of human language that they have heard, but their speaking carry no meaning.
Talking birds do not chop up the sounds into separate units. If a parrot learns cat and cats, and dog and dogs, and learns the word parrot, she will be unable to form the plural parrots as children do by the age of three. Reports of an African grey parrot named Alex suggest that when the trainer uses words in context, Alex seems to 68 some sounds to their meanings. This is more than simple imitation, but it is not how children acquire the complexities of the grammar of any language. It is more like a dog learning the 69 between certain sounds and meanings, such as heel, sit, and fetch.
To hold that animals communicate by systems qualitatively different from human language system is not to claim human superiority. Humans are 70 to hunting dogs, whose sense of smell is far better than that of human animals; they are just different biologically. The human language ability is rooted in the human brain, just as the communication systems of other species are determined by their body structure.
六、书面表达
71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 70 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It’s not piano lessons or dance classes. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It’s costly,” says Pat, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, “After finding out half my daughter’s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.”
Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. “When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.”
Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon. Nor is it geared only toward lower-achieving students. In Canada alone, seven per cent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 per cent last year.
Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.
Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules. “A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework,” says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t help their children after Grade 3.”
There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied (欺侮) for having a tutor, ” Diamond says, “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one. ”
Children don’t seem to mind that they have a tutor. One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors. “For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need,” she says. Still, she’s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why Her daughter has actually asked for one

In the west, people hug for many different reasons. Family and friends sometimes hug just to show the other person they care. They may hug a loved one that they haven’t seen for a while. Or hug someone who will be leaving for a long period of time.
Hugs are also given to comfort someone who is sad or to congratulate someone who has good news.
Hug reduces tension and raises self-confidence. Scientists even found that hugging can have a positive effect on a person’s IQ.
Some Chinese friends think all westerners love to hug. But some western cultures encourage hugging more than others. The French, for example, are some of the most affectionate people in the world. Researchers have observed that the French touch each other more than 100 times during a 30-minute conversation. American, however, typically only touch each other twice during the same time period.
Italians and Greeks are known for giving lots of hugs. But British people, like Americans, tend to be a little more reserved about hugging.Questions:

Now it’s 8:00, time for the educational report. GCSE is the British exam taken by the students in England and Wales around the age of 16. Recently researchers at university have confirmed the doubt of many parents and employers that some GCSEs are easier than others, despite official claims that each subject is equally difficult. The researchers found that sciences and modern languages were the hardest GCSEs to do well in. Chemistry ranked the hardest of the major subjects followed by physics and French. They also found that regardless of the ability students were more likely to gain good grades in easier subjects than in chemistry or French. Drama was the easiest GCSE to do well in, followed by physical education, media studies, English, English literature and religious studies. The number of test takers in physical education and religious studies rose faster than in any other subject last year. More than 144,000 pupils set GCSEs in physical education last summer, an increase of 7.5 per cent, and 147,500 took the religious studies exam, a rise of 4.6 per cent. However, it was the problem for the country if pupils avoided hard subjects. Fewer people would go on to study languages or sciences at A level in university, even though they were important to Britain’s future development.
Questions:
14. What is the most difficult subject according to the research
15. How many pupils took the test of physical education last year
16. What does the report mainly tell us about GCSEs

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了三个度假地点(Mountain Lodge、Pelican Resort、Cedar Lodge )的相关信息,包括位置、价格、住宿时长、餐饮、特色活动、交通以及儿童票价等情况。
21.细节理解题。根据Cedar Lodge的介绍“A mixture of casual atmosphere and rich rainforest surroundings for those over 25 (为 25 岁以上的人提供休闲氛围和丰富的雨林环境)”可知,Cedar Lodge不欢迎年幼的孩子,因为它明确是针对 25 岁以上的人群。故选C项。
22.细节理解题。根据Cedar Lodge的介绍“Free bikes and tennis courts; horse-riding extra (免费自行车和网球场;骑马额外收费)”以及Mountain Lodge的介绍“Free canoeing (免费划独木舟)”可知,Cedar Lodge没有提到免费提供划独木舟,且文中说的是在Mountain Lodge免费提供划独木舟。故选D项。
23.细节理解题。根据Mountain Lodge的价格“$330”以及“Children 4 -11 years are 50%. Children 4 years and under are free (4至11岁儿童半价。4岁及以下儿童免费。)”可知,一对夫妇的费用是$330×2 = $660;12岁的双胞胎女孩费用是$330×2×100% = $660;3岁的男孩免费。所以总费用是$660 + $660 = $1320 。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了TikTok对语言的影响。
24.主旨大意题。由文章第一段中“TikTok is changing how young people talk. Other outdated words, such as “coquette”, a woman who acts in a way intended to attract men, are popular again. Informal expressions are on the rise: members of Gen Z say “yapping” instead of “talking”. New words have also become popular. (TikTok正在改变年轻人的说话方式。其他一些过时的词汇,比如“coquette”(卖弄风情的女子,指以吸引男性为目的而举止行事的女性),又再度流行起来。非正式表达也越来越多:Z世代的人会说“yapping”(喋喋不休)而不是“talking”(交谈)。新词汇也开始流行)”可知,第一段主要讲述了TikTok如何改变年轻人的说话方式,即TikTok对语言的影响。故选B。
25.推理判断题。由文章第二段“On social apps words spread far and fast. At least 100 English words are produced or given new meanings on TikTok a year. Some language professors think TikTok is changing not just what youngsters are saying, but how they are saying it. A “TikTok speech style”, which includes “uptalk”, a sound that rises at the end of sentences, may be spreading. TikTok’s many different functions (功能) promote creative exploration. Users can mix audio, text and video in a single post. That means words that sound especially satisfying can become popular, as well as those that are impressive in written form. A system called “algospeak” has appeared to avoid content limitations. It uses indirect language (drug users are called “candy lovers”), and misspellings (“drog” instead of drug). (在社交应用上,词汇传播得又远又快。每年至少有100个英语单词在TikTok上被创造出来或者被赋予新的含义。一些语言学教授认为,TikTok改变的不仅仅是年轻人在说什么,还有他们说话的方式。一种 “TikTok式说话风格”可能正在蔓延,其中包括“升调语”,即句子结尾处语调上扬的一种说话方式。TikTok的多种不同功能促进了创造性的探索。用户可以在一条帖子中融合音频、文字和视频。这意味着那些听起来特别悦耳的词汇,以及那些在书面形式上令人印象深刻的词汇,都可能流行起来。一种被称为 “算法用语”的体系出现了,以规避内容限制。它使用间接的表达方式(吸毒者被称为“糖果爱好者”),还有拼写错误(用“drog”代替“drug”))”可知,作者通过给出具体的例子来支持其观点,即TikTok对语言的影响。故选C。
26.词句猜测题。由第三段中“For decades youngsters have created words to make themselves different from adults. On social apps such new terms find a big audience. Mr llbury describes this as “language-based identity work”. (几十年来,年轻人创造新词汇,就是为了让自己与成年人区分开来。在社交应用上,这些新词汇有了大量的受众。伊尔伯里教授将此描述为“基于语言的身份认同构建”)”可知,年轻人通过创造和使用新词汇来表达自己的独特性。因此,伊尔伯里教授的说“language-based identity work”的意思是“创造语言来表达自己的独特性”。故选A。
27.细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“The app brings together fan groups and communities, from kpopfans (people who like Korean pop music) to booktokers (people who love reading). These groups create their own slang (俚语). Some of it makes its way into the mainstream. (这款应用把粉丝群体和各种社群聚集到了一起,从韩流粉丝(喜欢韩国流行音乐的人)到“书虫”(热爱阅读的人)。这些群体创造了他们自己的俚语。其中一些俚语已经进入了主流语言)”可知,TikTok通过粉丝群体传播俚语。故选D。

29.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It is called Fallingwater because it was built over a waterfall. As most houses are built on solid ground, this house’s location instantly made it famous.(它被称为“流水别墅”是因为它建在瀑布上。由于大多数房屋都建在坚实的地面上,这座房子的位置立即让它闻名)”可知,“流水别墅”因其建在瀑布上的独特位置而迅速出名。故选B。
30.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Kaufman family had asked him to design them a home in the middle of the countryside where they could enjoy the sights and sounds of the natural world. (考夫曼家族请他在乡村中设计一座房子,让他们能够享受自然世界的景色和声音)”可推知,考夫曼家族建造这座房子的目的是享受自然的和谐。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, I was not there to enjoy beauty: I was there to see a house, one of the most famous houses in the world.(然而,我不是去欣赏美景的:我是去看一所房子,世界上最著名的房子之一)”及下文内容可知,文章讲述了作者参观著名建筑“流水别墅”的经历,并介绍了该建筑的设计背景、独特之处以及与自然和谐共存的理念。由此可知,A House over Waterfall(瀑布上的房子)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。

【详解】1.要点摘录
①Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity is going to a tutor.
②Nor is it geared only toward lower-achieving students.
③In Canada alone, seven per cent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 per cent last year.
④As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.
⑤Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.
⑥There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied (欺侮) for having a tutor, ” Diamond says, “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one. ”

72.This company takes various measures to keep in close contact with its target customers, ranging from (sending) online e-mails to (paying) offline visits, and achieves great results/whose effects are great/ the effects of which are great.
【详解】考查时态、非谓语动词或定语从句。表示“这家公司”用this company,作主语,位于句首,首字母大写。句子描述公司的常规做法,时态用一般现在时。“采取各种措施”用take various measures,主语是第三人称单数,所以谓语用takes。“与……保持紧密联系”用keep in close contact with,用不定式,作目的状语。“它的目标顾客”用its target customers,作with的宾语。表示“从……到……”用rang from...to...,与measures是主动关系,用现在分词短语,作后置定语,修饰measures。表示“发送线上邮件”用send online e-mails,“线下走访”用pay offline visits,from和to是介词,后接动名词形式,即sending和paying,也可省略sending和paying。表示“取得显著效果”用achieves great results,用and连接并列谓语takes和achieves。表示“效果显著”也可以用effects are great,“取得显著效果”也可以用定语从句,先行词为 measures,关系词代替先行词在从句中作定语,修饰effects,用whose引导;也可以用of which引导的定语从句,which指代measures。故翻译为This company takes various measures to keep in close contact with its target customers, ranging from (sending) online e-mails to (paying) offline visits, and achieves great results/whose effects are great/ the effects of which are great.

【详解】考查介词、动词短语和非谓语动词(答案二解析)。“尽管”用介词despite,位于句首,首字母大写,“面临”用face,despite是介词,后接动名词形式facing,“学业压力”翻译为 academic pressure;“我们”用代词we作句子主语,“积极参与”用动词短语take an active part in,“志愿者活动”可译为volunteer activities或volunteer work;“为……做出贡献”用contribute to,应用现在分词形式作状语,表伴随,“社会和谐”翻译为social harmony。句子陈述客观情况,用一般现在时。故翻译为Despite facing the academic pressure, we still take an active part in volunteer activities/work, contributing to social harmony.
76.Dear Linda,
I’m sorry to learn that you are having such a bad time. Actually, most people will feel homesick and anxious when they leave home and come to a new place, especially a foreign country. So don’t worry too much.
Here are some tips for you. To begin with, you’d better try to change some of your habits so that you can get used to the new environment as soon as possible. What’s more, make more new friends, who can share their hobbies and ideas with you. You will feel less homesick with many friends around you. Last but not least, you should take part in some social activities. It will help you learn more about the local customs and cultures.
I hope my advice will be useful. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
