阅读A 体裁:议论文 主题语境:文学作品 难度:★★★☆
I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse, the rude proposal that social media are to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.
Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.
We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities find no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.
As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.
More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.

A. Many countries do research in mental health.
B. Well-being and social media are closely related.
C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis.
D. Social media don’t necessarily cause mental illness.
3.What is implied in the last paragraph
A. Effective actions need to be taken. B. Positive stories should be shared.
C. Financial support needs to be provided. D. Broader research should be done.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text

Kafka worked in an Italian insurance company for a year, during which period his letter witnessed that he was unhappy with his working time schedule, as it made it difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute. Both in his letter and his diaries, Kafka frequently complained about his life at work.
He was promoted to the position of chief clerk at the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute, and he worked from 8:30 am until 2:30 pm. Then he had lunch around 3:00 pm, slept until 7:30 pm, did some exercise and had a family dinner, after which he started to work around 11:00 pm (the letter-and diary-writing took up several hours a day). “Depending on my strength, inclination and luck, until one, two, or three o’clock, once even till six in the morning.” This routine left him permanently on the verge of collapse. It would be wrong, however, to consider him a long-suffering official depressed by his work or even found it detestable. On the contrary, he was a model official, precise and efficient, who successfully climbed the career ladder.
Kafka is one of the highest regarded writers of the German language, although he achieved little to no fame during his own lifetime. During his lifetime, Franze Kafka burned an estimated 90 percent of his work. After his death at age 41, in 1924, a letter was discovered in his desk, addressed to his friend Max Brod. “Dearest Max,” it began. “My last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others’), sketches and so on, to be burned unread.” Less than two months later, Brod, disregarding Kafka’s request, signed an agreement to prepare a posthumous edition of Kafka’s unpublished novels. Thanks largely to Brod’s efforts, Kafka’s slim, mysterious works were gradually recognized as one of the great monuments of 20th century literature.
5.Why did Kafka quit the job on July 15, 1908
A. Because he found a better job.
B. Because he found it affected his writing.
C. Because he had to work ten hours a day.
D. Because he needed money to support his family.
6.What can we learn about Kafka
A. He did poorly in his work. B. He got all of his works published.
C. He was famous when he was alive. D. He had a preference for writing.
7.What contributed to Kafka’s fame according to the last paragraph
A. His friend’s efforts. B. His experience.
C. His diligence. D. His luck.
8.In which column of the newspaper can you read the passage
A. Geography. B. Health. C. Literature. D. Sports.
七选五 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:个人经历 难度:★★★★☆
It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced. 1
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 2 With enthusiasm, I expected my attitude would also change. Instead, the first surprising realization of my travel journey had hit: despite changing my formal suits to casuals, I was the exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. 3 While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. After six years abroad, realism is now the primary message I share.
4 Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads. 5 At-home life and life on the road can at times feel shockingly similar, or, if bad work habits take over, even worse. It’s an important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your surroundings will change, but you take you everywhere that you go. No matter how ultra-light you pack.
A. And my surroundings looked different.
B. But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C. This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D. New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E. Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.
F. You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G. Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.

A 本文是一篇议论文。文章是对《焦虑的一代》一书的评论，作者认为该书提出的数字技术导致儿童大脑重构和精神健康危机的观点缺乏科学依据。作者强调，精神障碍的成因复杂，需要基于科学和证据的解决方案，而不是简单归咎于社交媒体。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. (然而，这本书一再暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行，这一观点并没有得到科学的支持。)”可知，该书重复暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行。C选项“Teens’ mental illness results from screen time.(青少年的精神疾病与看屏幕时间有关。)”与该描述一致。故选C。
2.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. (当发现随着时间的推移而产生的关联时，他们发现社交媒体的使用并不是预测或导致抑郁症，而是已经有心理健康问题的年轻人比健康的同龄人更频繁地或以不同的方式使用这些平台。)”以及画线词后面的内容“An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. (在72个国家进行的一项分析显示，在全球范围内，幸福感和社交媒体之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。)”可知，“同样的信息”指的是社交媒体并不一定导致心理健康问题。故选D。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.(我们这一代人正处于危机之中，迫切需要科学和基于证据的解决方案所能提供的最好的东西。不幸的是，我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上，这些故事对那些需要、也应该得到更多支持的年轻人几乎没有帮助。)”可知，针对年轻人的心理健康问题，我们正在浪费时间讲述没有研究支持的故事，而这些故事对需要帮助的年轻人并没有帮助，这暗示我们需要采取有效的行动来解决这个问题。故选A。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science.(读完《焦虑的一代》后，我不得不说些什么。这本书将会畅销，因为乔纳森·海特讲述了一个许多父母都倾向于相信的关于儿童发展的可怕的故事。然而，这本书一再暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行，这一观点并没有科学支持。)”以及最后一段中的“Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.(不幸的是，我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上，这些故事对那些需要、也应该得到更多支持的年轻人几乎没有帮助。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都在批评一本书的观点，并强调需要科学和证据支持的解决方案，而不应该把时间浪费在没有科学研究支持的结论中。由此表明，作者的目的是引起人们对儿童心理健康问题以及真正引发该问题的原因进行关注和理解。D选项“To give a voice to children’s mental issues.(为孩子们的心理问题发声。)”符合作者的目的。故选D。
B 本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕着弗朗茨·卡夫卡的生平、职业经历、写作困境以及他死后的名声崛起展开，旨在描绘人物的生活历程和贡献。
5.B 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Kafka worked in an Italian insurance company for a year, during which period his letter witnessed that he was unhappy with his working time schedule, as it made it difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute. (卡夫卡在一家意大利保险公司工作了一年，在此期间，从他的信中可以看出，他对自己的工作时间安排很不满意，因为这让他很难集中精力写作。1908年7月15日，他辞职了，两周后，他被工人意外保险研究所雇用)”可知，卡夫卡辞职是因为他发现工作时间安排影响了他的写作。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。由第二段中的“Then he had lunch around 3：00 pm, slept until 7：30 pm, did some exercise and had a family dinner, after which he started to work around 11：00 pm (the letter-and diary-writing took up several hours a day). [然后，他在下午3点左右吃午饭，睡到晚上7点半，做一些运动，吃了一顿家庭晚餐，之后他在晚上11点左右开始工作(每天写信和日记要花几个小时)。]”可知，他爱好写作。故选D。
7.A 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Thanks largely to Brod’s efforts, Kafka’s slim, mysterious works were gradually recognized as one of the great monuments of 20th century literature. (在布罗德的努力下，卡夫卡那些短小而神秘的作品逐渐被公认为20世纪文学的伟大丰碑之一)”可知，卡夫卡的成名很大程度上归功于他的朋友布罗德的努力。故选A。
8.C 推理判断题。由第一段中的“Kafka worked in an Italian insurance company for a year, during which period his letter witnessed that he was unhappy with his working time schedule, as it made it difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute. (卡夫卡在一家意大利保险公司工作了一年，在此期间，从他的信中可以看出，他对自己的工作时间安排很不满意，因为这让他很难集中精力写作。1908年7月15日，他辞职了，两周后，他被工人意外保险研究所雇用)”及最后一段中的“Thanks largely to Brod’s efforts, Kafka’s slim, mysterious works were gradually recognized as one of the great monuments of 20th century literature. (在布罗德的努力下，卡夫卡那些短小而神秘的作品逐渐被公认为20世纪文学的伟大丰碑之一)”可知，文章主要讲述了作家弗朗茨·卡夫卡的生活、工作习惯及其文学成就。由此推知，最有可能在报纸的文学专栏读到这篇文章。故选C。
七选五
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名数字游民的生活经历。作者原本以为改变工作环境和生活方式会让自己焕然一新，但很快意识到，尽管外在环境变了，自己还是那个自己，工作习惯和态度并没有因为环境的改变而改变。
1.B 根据前文“It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced. (吃晚饭的时间到了，但我还没有完成一天的工作。愉快地享受假日时光的人们在我周围嘁嘁喳喳地叫着。但是当我低着头戴着耳机的时候，我几乎没有和他们交流过。这一天过得更像是一段快进的视频，而不是我真正完全经历过的事情。)”以及第二段首句“This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. (这是我过数字游牧生活的第一周。)”可知，此处描述的是作者过数字游民一周的生活情况。B选项“But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.(但这并不是在朝九晚五的累人的办公室工作。)”中的this指代的是作者经历的一周的数字游民生活，与朝九晚五的生活是不同的，该选项符合语境。故选B。
2.A 根据前文“I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. (我离开了公司，在网上找到了一份自由撰稿的工作，这样我就可以自由地旅行了。)”以及后文“With enthusiasm, I expected my attitude would also change.(怀着热情，我期待着自己的态度也会改变。)”可知，自从作者离开了公司成为自由撰稿人之后，其周围的环境发生了变化，同时期待着自己的态度也发生变化，此处的also与设空处发生的变化形成并列。A选项“And my surroundings looked different. (我周围的环境看起来不一样了。)”指出作者成为自由撰稿人之后，周围环境发生了变化，与后文形成呼应，符合语境。故选A。
3.G 根据前文“I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. (我兴奋地已经准备着在网上浏览有关数字游牧的信息。)”以及后文“While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. (尽管你可能会认为财务问题是这种生活方式的最大的难题，但不切实际的期望通常是我听到的最常见的致命一击。)”可知，作者兴奋地已经做好了过数字游民的准备，可是实际生活中不切实际的期望打败了作者，作者没有对现实生活有着充分的准备和认知。G选项“Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.(然而，不知何故，我无意中过度消费了期望，而对现实主义的消费却不足。)”与前文构成转折关系，指出虽然作者做好了准备，可是作者却对现实准备不足，因此作者最终被不切实际的期望打败了。该选项符合语境，承接前后文。故选G。
4.E 根据后文“Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. (你可以在俯瞰地中海的阳台或马拉喀什中心阳光明媚的屋顶上工作，而不是在办公室里工作。你不用在咖啡机旁等待，旁边是抱怨的同事，你每天的咖啡之行将带你沿着尘土飞扬的鹅卵石街道走进小咖啡馆。)”可知，此处描述的是成为数字游民后的环境所发生的具体的改变。E选项“Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.(如果你选择成为一个数字游民，你的环境将会改变。)”引起下文，指出如果选择成为数字游民环境将会发生改变。故选E。
5.F 根据前文“But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads.(但这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部。)”可知，成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外，这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部，后文应该指出还有其他的内容。F选项“You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.(你醒来时仍然会发现收件箱里有邮件，待办事项等着你去处理。)”可知，成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外，收件箱里依旧还有邮件和待办事项等着你去处理，这些也是新数字游民生活所应期待的一部分，该选项符合语境。故选F。
完形填空

I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development many parents are led to believe.

As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.
More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to
address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1，119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.

阅读B 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：文学创作 难度：★★★☆☆
Kafka worked in an Italian insurance company for a year, during which period his letter witnessed that he was unhappy with his working time schedule, as it made it difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute. Both in his letter and his diaries, Kafka frequently complained about his life at work.
He was promoted to the position of chief clerk at the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute, and he worked from 8：30 am until 2：30 pm. Then
he had lunch around 3：00 pm, slept until 7：30 pm, did some exercise and had a family dinner, after which he started to work around 11：00 pm (the letter-and diary-writing took up several hours a day). “Depending on my strength, inclination and luck, until one, two, or three o’clock, once even till six in the morning.” This routine left him permanently on the verge of collapse. It would be wrong, however, to consider him a long-suffering official depressed by his work or even found it detestable. On the contrary, he was a model official, precise and efficient, who successfully climbed the career ladder.
Kafka is one of the highest regarded writers of the German language, although he achieved little to no fame during his own lifetime. During his lifetime, Franze Kafka burned an estimated 90 percent of his work. After his death at age 41, in 1924, a letter was discovered in his desk, addressed to his friend Max Brod. “Dearest Max，” it began. “My last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others’), sketches and so on, to be burned unread.” Less than two months later, Brod, disregarding Kafka’s request, signed an agreement to prepare a posthumous edition of Kafka’s unpublished novels. Thanks
largely to Brod’s efforts, Kafka’s slim, mysterious works were gradually recognized as one of the great monuments of 20th century literature.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕着弗朗茨·卡夫卡的生平、职业经历、写作困境以及他死后的名声崛起展开，旨在描绘人物的生活历程和贡献。
5.Why did Kafka quit the job on July 15, 1908
A. Because he found a better job.
B. Because he found it affected his writing.
C. Because he had to work ten hours a day.
D. Because he needed money to support his family.

答案与解析
that he was unhappy with his working time schedule, as it made it difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later he got employed by the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute. (卡夫卡在一家意大利保险公司工作了一年，在此期间，从他的信中可以看出，他对自己的工作时间安排很不满意，因为这让他很难集中精力写作。1908年7月15日，他辞职了，两周后，他被工人意外保险研究所雇用)”可知，卡夫卡辞职是因为他发现工作时间安排影响了他的写作。故选B。

阅读C (2024·全国甲卷) 体裁：议论文 主题语境：文学
难度：★★★★☆
(阅读C、D)
“I didn’t like the ending，” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof.
Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them.
This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.
But writing the end—that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters.
That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.
This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be—that’s up to you and the story you’re telling—but it might provide what you need to get there.
本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过作者与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考，接着阐述了不同类型的文学作品结局的特点,最后提出了写出好的结局的重要性并介绍了《作者文摘》杂志如何帮助作家写出更好的结尾。

阅读D (2024·新课标Ⅱ卷) 体裁：新闻报道 主题语境：文学 难度：★★★☆☆
Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story，” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20，000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客的阅读需求,提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。
13.Why did BART start the kiosk program
To promote the local culture.
B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs.
D. To reduce its running costs.
C 推理判断题。根据第三段“旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：‘你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的故事。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。’”可知,
BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C。
答案与解析
14.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story. (你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B。
答案与解析

D. Conducting interviews with artists.

(获奖故事会进入我们的信息亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入售货亭供乘客阅读。故选A。
答案与解析
16.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future
A. It will close down.
B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide.
D. Its ridership will increase.
D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“她说：‘归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。’”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D。
答案与解析
七选五 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：个人经历 难度：★★★★☆
It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced. 1
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 2 With enthusiasm, I expected my
attitude would also change. Instead, the first surprising realization of my travel journey had hit: despite changing my formal suits to casuals, I was the exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. 3 While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. After six years abroad, realism is now the primary message I share.
4 Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of
Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads. 5 At-home life and life on the road can at times feel shockingly similar, or, if bad work habits take over, even worse. It’s an important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your surroundings will change, but you take you everywhere that you go. No matter how ultra-light you pack.
A. And my surroundings looked different.
B. But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C. This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D. New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E. Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.
F. You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G. Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名数字游民的生活经历。作者原本以为改变工作环境和生活方式会让自己焕然一新，但很快意识到，尽管外在环境变了，自己还是那个自己，工作习惯和态度并没有因为环境的改变而改变。

答案与解析
发生了变化，同时期待着自己的态度也发生变化，此处的also与设空处发生的变化形成并列。A选项“And my surroundings looked different. (我周围的环境看起来不一样了。)”指出作者成为自由撰稿人之后，周围环境发生了变化，与后文形成呼应，符合语境。故选A。
答案与解析
3.G 根据前文“I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. (我兴奋地已经准备着在网上浏览有关数字游牧的信 息。)”以及后文“While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. (尽管你可能会认为财务问题是这种生活方式的最大的难题，但不切实际的期望通常是我听到的最常见的致命一击。)”可知，作者兴奋地已经做好了过数字游民的准备，可是
答案与解析
实际生活中不切实际的期望打败了作者，作者没有对现实生活有着充分的准备和认知。G选项“Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.(然而，不知何 故，我无意中过度消费了期望，而对现实主义的消费却不足。)”与前文构成转折关系，指出虽然作者做好了准备，可是作者却对现实准备不足，因此作者最终被不切实际的期望打败了。该选项符合语境，承接前后文。故选G。
答案与解析
4.E 根据后文“Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh.

答案与解析
作。你不用在咖啡机旁等待，旁边是抱怨的同事，你每天的咖啡之行将带你沿着尘土飞扬的鹅卵石街道走进小咖啡馆。)”可知，此处描述的是成为数字游民后的环境所发生的具体的改变。E选项“Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.(如果你选择成为一个数字游民，你的环境将会改变。)”引起下文，指出如果选择成为数字游民环境将会发生改变。故选E。
答案与解析
5.F 根据前文“But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads.(但这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部。)”可知，成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外，这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部，后文应该指出还有其他的内容。F选项“You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.(你醒来时仍然会发现收件箱里有邮件，待办事项等着
答案与解析
你去处理。)”可知，成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外，收件箱里依旧还有邮件和待办事项等着你去处 理，这些也是新数字游民生活所应期待的一部分，该选项符合语境。故选F。

Scanning the court, Luis pretended to pass the ball to another teammate but finally gave it to Nicholas. As Luis expected, Nicholas kicked hard and ... GOAL! Just then, Devon walked up angrily. “What were you DOING there, Luis !” he yelled. Luis rolled his eyes.
Devon started playing soccer with them weeks ago. He was nice when he felt like things in the game had gone his way. Otherwise, he would lose temper.
“Playing soccer.” Luis shrugged. “Why didn’t you pass to me I was closer to the goal than Nicholas.” Devon yelled again.
As the group walked in, Devon continued. Luis ignored him to avoid arguing. Nicholas approached and began complaining about Devon’s yelling and disrespect. “What can you do about that ” Luis asked. Nicholas said he wanted to organize a new team without Devon. Luis was upset to hear that. Nicholas said, “It’s more fun before he started playing with us. I’ve told the other teammates. They agreed.”
Reaching home, Luis dragged his feet into his bedroom, which confused his mom. “What’s wrong ” she asked. Then, Luis told what happened to her. “Have any of you tried talking to Devon about this ” she asked. “I don’t know.” Luis scratched his head.
“Maybe a boundary could help. When playing soccer, how do you know whether someone is at the right position on the court What’s that line called ” Mom reminded. “A boundary.” Luis murmured.
“Tell Devon whether he’s crossing a line with how he talks.” she suggested. Luis took the advice and decided to have a try.
The next day at school, Luis found Devon and told him all the teammates liked playing soccer with him but they didn’t like being yelled at by him.
“I don’t yell at people.” Devon immediately interrupted.
“You yelled at me the other day because I didn’t pass to you,” Luis reminded calmly. “And you are yelling now. If you keep yelling at your teammates, we won’t play with you anymore.”
Devon was too embarrassed to speak. “Being yelled at isn’t fun but playing soccer is supposed to be fun.” Luis said, patting Devon’s shoulder gently.
Later, during the training, Luis met Nicholas and told him what he’d told Devon.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请在相应位置作答。
“Just give him another chance, okay ”Luis whispered.
As the training came to an end, Luis and Nicholas jogged towards Devon.

In order to enrich our school life and broaden the students’ horizons, our school held the annual School Art Festival last week.
As scheduled, the festival started with a singing competition, attracting dozens of students who had a talent for music. Ten contestants stood out and won the prizes in the end. Then followed the school art show, in which many works from both the students and teachers were on exhibition, ranging from calligraphy to paintings.
The art festival provided a platform for us students to showcase our talents and passions, whether it was through music, dance, drama, or visual arts.

“Just give him another chance, okay ” Luis whispered. After thinking for a while, Nicholas nodded his head and forced a smile. When they were playing, it seemed that a wave of concern flooded over Luis. He was attentively watching Devon’s performance. Fortunately, this time, Devon tried his best to cooperate with other teammates, and didn’t show disrespect or yell at anyone, though sometimes the situation didn’t develop as he expected. Luis was satisfied with Devon’s behavior, and Nicholas was surprised but happy to see Devon’s change.
As the training came to an end, Luis and Nicholas jogged towards Devon. “That was a fun game. You’ve done a good job!” Nicholas said. Moved by Nicholas’s praise, Devon smiled and apologized for his impoliteness in the past. Nicholas grinned at Luis, and both of them offered to give Devon a tight embrace. Obviously, the “boundary” helped Luis find the way to include Devon in the team. From that experience, it could be seen that respect for others and proper limits for speech are important in becoming part of a team.(共19张PPT)
