第二部分：阅读理解 (共两节，32 分)
第一节 (共 11 小题;每小题 2 分，共 22 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该
项涂黑。
A
Inspired by an event held by the Dallas-based Daddy Stroller Social Club (DSSC), a group for fathers, Brandon
Shaw wrote an 83-page typed letter to his father. At the Blacklit bookstore, Kalvin Bridgewater led 15 dads, including
his own father, who was seated next to Shaw, in an emotional event where the men dug into what they hated, loved,
misunderstood and appreciated about their fathers as they grew up.
Founded by Bridgewater in 2021, DSSC initially met with about 30 dads per event but skyrocketed in popularity
after two online videos became hits in April 2024. It now attracts over 150 dads at events, where fathers bond over
shared experiences and provide emotional backing for one another.
DSSC’s appeal is broad, attracting dads from various professions, including doctors, engineers, and electricians.
The group emphasizes emotional support, with members regularly checking in on one another. As Shaw shared, the
group provides a space where men can be open, asking, “How are you feeling ” Shaw, who joined the group when
he first became a father, said it has made him more patient and understanding.
Bridgewater, who became a certified doula (产妇陪护师) to better support his wife through pregnancy, also
ensures DSSC allows partners some time for themselves. At a May event, scheduled just before Mother’s Day,
mothers had the day off while fathers spent time bonding with their children.
Brandon Shaw described the experience as transformative, saying it helped him connect with his own
weaknesses, something he had previously kept hidden. He sent the letter he wrote to his father for Father’s Day. It
arrives soon. He said he doesn’t expect a response and just hopes his father reads it. As Bridgewater puts it, fatherhood
is just about “being honest and sharing”.
32. What can be inferred about DSSC from the first two paragraphs
第3页/共10页
A. It creates a group of father influencers.
B. It repairs broken father-son relationships.
C. It promotes fathers’ emotional well-being.
D. It highlights fathers’ vital role in childcare.
33. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The severity of parental issues.
B. The necessity to identify weaknesses.
C. Bridgewater’s devotion to fatherhood.
D. Influence of the organization on its member.
34. Which of the following can be used to best describe DSSC
A. celebrity-led and trend-setting
B. Profit-oriented and service-providing
C. Group-exclusive and profession-focused
D. Community-driven and emotionally supportive
B
Social media influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for brands to reach consumers.
Influencers, with their large followings and the ability to engage audiences, are seen as powerful tools for promoting
products and services. However, while influencer marketing shows great potential, its effectiveness metrics (指标),
mainly centered around follower count, engagement rate, and reach, have significant limitations.
These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish
between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example,
an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience
may not be the right target for a particular brand’s products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an
influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.
This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense.
But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-
ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated
through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer’s reach. Engagement rates can also be
misleading, as some influencers may use tactics such as “like-for-like” exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially
boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn’t consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach
among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.
To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer’s true value,
several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer’s audience demographics in more detail.
Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing
behavior of an influencer’s followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer’s audience aligns with
their target market.
Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of
relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer
drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer’s ability to generate business results. Additionally,
第4页/共10页
brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to
identify the most effective approaches.
While these effectiveness metrics alone can’t ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns,
implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make
more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.
35. The current effectiveness metrics of influencer marketing can ________.
A. help brands accurately measure sales growth.
B. assist in identifying influencers with broad reach.
C. guarantee a high return on investment for brands.
D. single out influencers that attract new users of products.
36. What can be inferred from influencers with a high engagement rate
A. They are capable of driving significant sales.
B. The engagement rate may fail to reflect real influence.
C. Their audience is interested in the promoted products.
D. They have a large number of loyal and active followers.
37. What contributes to a more accurate evaluation of an influencer’s value
A. Focusing on the follower count and reach.
B. Relying on the engagement rate as the main criterion.
C. Conducting surveys about the influencer’s reputation.
D. Analyzing the audience from more specific aspects.
38. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To compare different influencer marketing strategies.
B. To expose the false data in influencer marketing metrics.
C. To present the advantages and disadvantages of influencer marketing.
D. To propose improvements for influencer marketing effectiveness metrics.
C
Scientists are poor forecasters of the future. But two trends can be confidently predicted. First, the world will
get more crowded. There will be more than 9 billion people by 2050. Second, the world will get warmer and some
governments won’t prioritize the long-term measures needed to deal with climate change, even though science offers
us a road-map to a low-carbon future.
That’s why we should be promoters of new technology — without it the world can’t provide the food and
sustainable energy needed for an expanding population. But we should also be cautious, as new technologies, such
as AI, may be hard to control. AI will undoubtedly become more aggressive in the future. Records of our movements,
health and financial transactions will be stored in the cloud. The data may be used for justifiable reasons, such as
protein folding and drug development, or to warn us of initial health risks, but its availability to Internet companies
is already shifting the balance of power from governments to global-scale corporations.
Actually, it’s beyond Earth that AI has the most enormous potential. Humans may have established bases beyond
Earth by the year 2100. But don’t ever expect mass emigration from Earth. It’s a false belief that space offers an
escape from our problems. Dealing with climate change on Earth is a piece of cake compared to terraforming (地球
第5页/共10页
化) Mars.
Nevertheless, we should cheer on these brave human space adventurers. They’ll be ill-adapted to a Martian
habitat, so they’ll have a super motive to redesign themselves. It’s they, not those of us adapted to life on Earth, who
will pioneer the post-human era.
If post-humans make the shift from flesh and blood to fully artificial intelligence, they won’t need an atmosphere
of even gravity, so it’s in deep space — not even on Mars — that non biological “brains” may develop powers that
we can’t imagine. They may end up being mentally different from us. AI could jump-start a huge emigration and thus
even more complex intelligence spreads through the universe.
But let’s refocus from the science fiction of the far future closer to the here and now. This century is special. It’s
the first, in Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history where one species, ours, holds the planet’s future in its hands.
Our intelligence could initiate billions of years of post-human evolution, even more amazing than that which
led to us. On the other hand, humans could cause biological, environmental or cyber catastrophes that foreclose all
this potential. If science is to save us, we need to think globally, sensibly and long-term — empowered by science,
but guided by values that science alone can’t provide.
39. Why does the author mention the two trends in the first paragraph
A. To justify the governments’ policies.
B. To advocate for advancements in tech.
C. To criticize scientists’ poor prediction ability.
D. To highlight the challenges faced by scientists.
40. According to this passage, AI can _____________.
A. put an end to climate change
B. facilitate mass human migration
C. speed up the competition in medical fields
D. bring about potential threats from big companies
41. As for the future, which of the following will the author agree with
A. Post-humans will echo the history of humans.
B. Complex intelligence will dominate the universe.
C. Fully artificial intelligence may inhabit outer space.
D. Non-biological brains may invite unknown disasters.
42. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Future of Humanity: Could AI Save Us
B. Towards a Sustainable Future: What Can We Do
C. Change or Die: Will Science Lead Further Evolution
D. Unstoppable Trend: Is Complex Intelligence Coming

You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and
choose the line that looks fastest.
第6页/共10页
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to
the parking lot. ___43___
It turns out, it’s just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum
delay. ___44___Any small interruption-a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up
an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the
probability:____45____So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line-
called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ___46___This is what
they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly
punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout
overall.
____47____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or
manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.
A. Why does this always seem to happen to you
B. So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines
C. Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line
F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.

Crowd control could soon become an important skill for climbers on Mount Everest, as important as physical
strength or watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 people reached the top of the world — a record.
Reports from base camp spoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in the final
dash for the 8,848 meters top.
More traditional mountaineers have been concerned about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everest in recent
years, and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain more dangerous. In 1996, 14 died on the
mountain when the members of several groups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snowstorms. Bad weather in
early May led to this year’s jam on the summit ridge, but the loss, luckily, was light. Just four climbers died, including
a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.
Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to set records and achieve “firsts”, rather
than simply climb the mountain. This year’s crop of mountaineers included the oldest man, 64-year-old Sherman Bull
from Connecticut, and the youngest, 16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal. An American with only one arm was
on the mountain this year; an Indian with no legs also tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an American, became the
first blind person to reach the top of the world. His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up, describing
第7页/共10页
the type of land and ringing bells.
Nepal views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow. The government charges journeys a minimum of
$70,000. That is probably why officials in Katmandu are ignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about
even more climbers coming next year. But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest, by
Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was cancelled after violent strikes. Tumultuous (动乱的) Nepali
politics, it seems, could be just the crowd-control measure that Everest needs.

wonderful performances on stage.
I was deeply impressed by this event. It not only allowed us to immerse in the charm of English, but also
enhanced our teamwork and communication skills. The students' enthusiasm and creativity really made the show a
great success.
What do you think of our activity Looking forward to your reply.
