My son just turned 14 and does not have a smartphone. When he graduated fromGrade 8, he was the only kid
in his class without one. He asks for a phone now that he's going to high school. I say no, he asks why, I explain,
and he pushes back.
“You can choose to do things differently when you're a parent,” I told him. But sometimes, I wonder if I'm
being too stubborn or unfair.
The more I research, the more confident I feel in my decision. Many studies link the current men tal health
crisis among adolescents to fundamental changes in how they socialize, namely, the shift from in-person to online
interaction.
But other mothers challenge my view. “He must feel so left out!”Then there are the parents who tell me sadly
that they wish they had delayed their teenager's phone ownership longer than they did. They urge me to hold out.
If teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 are truly spending an average of 8hours 39 minutes per day on their
devices, as stated in a survey conducted byCommon Sense Media, then what are they not doing? Kids absorbed in
their devices are missing out on real life, and that strikes me as really sad.
I want my son to have a childhood he feels satisfied with and proud of. I want it to be full of adventures,
imaginative play and physical challenges which he must sort out himself without asking me for help. The easiest
and simplest way to achieve these goals is to delay giving him a smartphone.
Some think my son is missing out or falling behind, but he is not. He does well in school and extra-curricular
activities, hangs out with his friends in person, and moves independently around our small town. He promises he'll
give his own 14-yearold a phone someday, and I tell him that's fine. But recently, he admitted that he missed the
beautiful scenery on a drive to a nearby mountain because he had been so absorbed in his friend's iPad. If that is his
version of admitting I'm right, I'll take it.
24. What does the underlined phrase“pushes back”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Agrees. B. Delays. C. Opposes. D. Persuades.
25. What is the author primarily concerned about regarding giving her son a phone?
A. Her son's online safety.
B. Her son's men tal growth.
C. Her son's reduced physical activities.
D. Her son's poor academic performance.
26. What quality does the author want her son to develop in his childhood?
A. Team spirit. B. Leadership.
C. Independence. D. Critical thinking.
27. What can be learned about the author's son?
A. He is falling behind academically.
B. He is easily influenced by his friends.
C. He has given up his desire for a smartphone.
D. He has realized the problems of much screen time.

All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley's memoir(回忆录) about his 10years working as a guard at New
York's Metropolitan Museum of Art(Met), brings new meaning to the term“art appreciation”. During 8-12 hour
shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he's been hired to
protect- and to think about the role of art throughout history.
Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley's“guard's-eye view ” is unique,
and he presents his personal story with sincerity.After his brother Tom's death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave
up his job as a journalist for a job in which“I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “Ihad lost someone. I
did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn't wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn't say when he decided
to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find
the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suite d to our times.
All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to supportBringley's personal tale. As
interesting as these facts are, it's Bringley's reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures
and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute(致 敬 ) to the power of art. Discussing Alfred Stieglitz's
photographs of his wife, he writes, “I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work
of art gives us that. ”In a Vermeer port rait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “ that
feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses a holiness(神圣) of its own. It was my constant feeling
in Tom's hospital room”.
As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance
of learning not about art, but from it. This is art appreciation at a high level.
28. What makes All the Beauty in the World different from other books by Met staffers?
A. Its author's personal sad story.
B. Its author's unique point of view.
C. Its well-chosen facts about the museum.
D. Its detailed introduction to the artworks.
29. Why did Bringley decide to become a guard at the Met?
A. To remember his dead brother.
B. To enrich his journalism career.
C. To find some peace and quiet in art.
D. To study the artworks more closely.
30. How does Bringley tell the museum stories in his memoir?
A. By relating museum facts to his personal life.
B. By interviewing retired museum staff members.
C. By presenting the background of each masterpiece.
D. By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks.
31. What does the author think of the book as a whole?
A. It reveals the inner world of the author.
B. It offers new insights into art appreciation.
C. It tells little-known facts about the museum.
D. It deserves to be read for some peace and quiet.
D
Many news reports focus on climate change these days. Extreme heat, wildfires,floods, homeless polar bears...
How do you feel when reading worrying news about climate change? You may believe that people are becoming
insensitive to the warming planet, accepting that it is only getting worse.
A research team at Pennsylvania State University, US, reported otherwise. To record how the news can impact
people's emotions, participants were first exposed to negative news stories about climate change for three days.
They then continued to read negative news headlines for seven days. In the first three days, the participants
experienced greater fear and less hope, which can potentially hurt an audience's belief that they can do anything to
tackle the problem.
However, during the seven-day-long exposure, the fear peaked and then held steady(稳定的). “We saw the
opposite pattern in our second study. The more exposure people had to these threatening news stories each day, the
more likely they are to think that they can make a difference in tackling climate change,”ChristoferSkurka, the
paper's lead author told the Pennsylvania State University website.
According to the researchers, one possibility is that when the public hears about climate change threats, they
may convince themselves that they have control over the situation. They will then believe that their actions may
make a difference.
Knowing that everyone is able to help is only the first step. According to a study that analyzed information
from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison. For
example, if a person's neighbors follow a low-carbon lifestyle, such as driving electric cars, the person may feel
social pressure and become more likely to follow this behavior. This happens because people usually judge their
own behavior and follow social norms(规 范 ). Another effective motivation is providing financial rewards to
consumers, helping them save money.
“There are so many routes to our goals,” Matthew Goldberg, the co-author of the study, told Scientific
American. As Goldberg pointed out, future research like this can help policymakers decide how best to encourage
people to ward more climate-friendly habits.
32. How did the participants react to negative news in the second study?
A. They found the news unbelievable.
B. They lost hope in tackling climate change.
C. They experienced greater fear for the future.
D. They felt a strong sense of social responsibility.
33. What encourages people most to ward more climate-friendly behavior?
A. Effective policy. B. Healthy lifestyle.
C. Social influence. D. Financial support.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Responses to climate change education.
B. T he effectiveness of community initiatives.
C. T he impact of social norms on environment.
D. Ways to encourage climate-friendly behavior.
35. What is Goldberg's attitude towards similar future research?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

Recently, a topic featuring “ Graduates avoid sending resumes out of social anxiety disorder” received many
comments on Sina Weibo. It seems that social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia(恐惧症), is affecting
many people's lives. Over 80% of university students who took part in a survey tended to avoid social interaction
due to an assumed social phobia. 36
For those who have a social phobia, everyday social situations cause strong fear beyond their control because
they fear being watched or judged negatively by others.
Having a social phobia can mean physical symptoms like blushing(脸红), upset stomach, or having trouble
catching your breath. The good news is that it is treatable. 37 Avoiding social situations because of shyness might
mean missing out on opportunities or being rude.
I used to be so shy that I avoided greeting people I knew by pretending to scroll(滚屏) on my phone or turning
in another direction. 38 When I saw him, Istarted scrolling on my phone as usual to avoid greeting him. But he
immediately saw through it and asked,“Why did you pretend not to see me?” After my explanation,he replied, “I
can relate to feeling awkward, but once someone realizes that you're avoiding him, it can come across as rude.”
39 Being afraid of negative comments, they simply shut themselves down so that no one will have the chance
to judge them. But socializing not only leads to judgment. If you're lucky enough, you may come across someone
who gives direct but honest feedback, like what the senior journalist did for me. But if some people only offer you
negative judgment, simply stay away from them. 40 Why give up on opportunities for social interaction because
of fears of comments and judgment?
A. After all, they are not making you any better.
B. U nderstand it's perfectly fine to make mistakes.
C. Here are some tips for overcoming a fear of social interaction.
D. B ut is avoiding social interaction equal to having a social phobia?
E. However, my attitude began to change when I met a senior journalist.
F. But if you only feel a bit uncomfortable, it might mean you are just shy.
G. Shy people avoid socializing because they take others' opinions seriously.

In 2 019, Tomas Quinones undertook a 7-day bike trip, covering some remote desert in Oregon. His trip was
41 with the usual difficulties. He lost his shoes and was only relying on a pair of sandals(凉鞋). His water supply
was sometimes 42 . But there were also moments of unexpected 43 : A couple offered to share their lunch; a guy
in the truck asked if he needed any help.
On the last day of his trip, he was riding down a dusty track when he met a man lying unconscious in the desert.

desert for 5 days. “I never had any 47 about what Iwould do,” said Quinones. He had received some gestures of
help on the trip, so he 48 .
It's likely that if you've spent any time in the wild, you'll have 49 these gestures of kindness from strangers
or given them yourself too even if they are nothing so 50 as the aid given by Quinones.
What is it about being outside in nature that makes people want to help others?One opinion is that in the wild,
there may not be any other 51 , so according to the“bystander effect”, the more people who are in the presence of
someone needing help, the less likely any of those are to actually provide it. Another opinion is that exposure to
nature can make people look beyond themselves, 52 a sense of connection to others and to the world as a whole.
When we risk going into the wild, we become weak. And being in that position usually makes us 53 the

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my first long race - marathon. The wind and the rain chilled(使很冷)me to the bone and the sun was yet
out to warm up the air. The starting gun would go off any second. I was ready. I was 28 and in the best shape of my
life. At least, Ithought I was. I ran all the time and had already run several races. But none of them was 26.2 miles.
The farthest I had run before was only 15 miles. Still, I was young and overconfident and I knew I could do it.
The gun went off and the race started. I was excited and the weather became the furthest thing from my mind.
I just concentrated on holding my own position among the other runners. I had no real finishing goal in mind, but
when I settled into my pace, I soon worked out that I could easily break 4 hours.
Within a few miles, I ran past an elderly runner. He must have been over 70years old and I was surprised he
was even in the race. I was even more surprised that he was still ahead of me. He kept to the side of the road, his
old legs moving one in front of the other, slowly but stably. I passed him without giving him a second glance or a
word of encouragement.
I kept moving. 15 miles came and I was on pace to beat 4 hours. Then something strange happened. I started
to get tired. My goal of 4 hours soon got pushed back to 4:10. Then 4:20. Finally, at about the 20-mile mark, I
couldn't run any more. I had to walk.
I moved to the side of the road and with difficulty I walked along. I needed a second wind, but it wasn't coming.
The rain was back. There was nothing I could do about it but concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other.
Then the elderly man passed me. He looked the same as he had earlier,running at the same speed. As he passed,
he looked over at me and smiled,“Only a few more miles to go. Don't give up now!”
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。
Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on.
He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow.

Dear Rudy,
I'm glad to know you like Chinese food. I'm writing to tell you an amazing activity, during which we made
dumplings. We all felt energetic. Some made do ugh and dumpling wrappers.Others prepared dumpling fillings. We
succeeded in making dumplings together due to division of labor and cooperation.
Although the dumplings we made were in different shapes and might not have the best taste,we truly enjoyed
them and were proud of the fruits of our labor. This is the first time that we have made dumplings by ourselves
through cooperation.
Hope you can join us next time!
Yours,
