Human’s pursuit of beauty begins at an early age. The fact is perfectly true for young ladies. When Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles. By the time she turned 14, Scarlett and her friends were spending hours on TikTok and YouTube watching people talk about products to make their skin look nice: a wet, shiny, perfect skin. Scarlett made a big skin care routine with face wash, sprays, hydrating covers and creams.
One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles. Using too much strong stuff for grown-ups made her skin very bad. Scarlett’s experience is common now, experts say, as young girls go to beauty stores to buy fancy skin care products, a trend seen in popular videos with the hashtag #SephoraKids.
Things like retinol and chemical scrubs like hydroxy acids are very strong. Young or sensitive skin can get red, peel and burn that can cause infections, spots and too much sensitivity if not used right, skin doctors say.
“The focus on skin care is more than just wanting perfect skin. It’s about feeling accepted and belonging to a community that has the lifestyle and look you want,” says 14-year-old Mia Hall. More than the harm to the body, parents and child psychologists worry about how this trend can affect girls’ feelings and thoughts for a long time. A lot of information shows that being too focused on looks can hurt how you feel about yourself and your body and can cause worry, sadness and eating problems.
The amount of detail and information girls get from beauty lessons sends a bad message at a time when they are growing up and finding out who they are, says Charlotte Markey, a body image expert and a teacher at Rutgers University.
24. What was Scarlett’s concern when she was in fifth grade
A. Getting wrinkles. B. Her skin not being shiny.
C. Her skin’s hydration. D. Being rejected by her friends.
25. What happened to Scarlett’s skin after using adult-strength products
A. Her skin became flawless. B. Her skin turned red and peel.
C. Her skin became very smooth. D. Her skin started to burn and blister.
26. Why are some skin care products harmful for young or sensitive skin
A. They are too expensive. B. They are not sold in beauty stores.
C. They are designed for older people. D. They can cause redness, peeling, and burning.
27. What is the possible result of too much focus on skin care
A. It improves understanding of proper skin care routines.
B. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
C. It helps to build better self-esteem and confidence.
D. It encourages healthy relationships with peers.
C
These days, we’re all well aware of the plastic problem the world’s facing. We’re reminded of this issue all the time, whether that’s by being encouraged to recycle, or by having to pay for disposable carrier bags.
Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. This was the situation a team of researchers who recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch (垃圾带) in the journal Scientific Reports found themselves in. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California, US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste and covers 1.6 million square kilometers. It’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing.
“I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see [the patch in person],” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.”
It’s believed that 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near largo ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for son creatures but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the digestive systems of fish and birds.
As a result, it’s believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates—not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it.
So what can we do about this
Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group that’s developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project, with the group claiming it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more mindful of how we use it “In my opinion, plastic is very useful. But I think we must divert (转移) the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told BBC News.
28. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. B. A study on plastic pollution.
C. Lebreton and his research. D. Cleaning ocean of plastic.
29. According to the text, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch ________.
A. is about four times the size of Beijing.
B. is harmful to both sea creatures and humans.
C. consists of about 1.6 million tons of plastic waste.
D. was formed because of swirling ocean currents.
30. What can we learn from the passage
A. People should be more careful with their use of plastic products.
B. Single-use plastic should be banned for the sake of the environment.
C. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be cleaned up in about five years.
D. Plastic products with short service lifespans should be replaced.
31. What is the text probably from
A. A business report B. A textbook C. A magazine D. Science fiction
D
Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little deals with the forces of human cognitive (认知的) selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists investigated just that.
In an experiment, thousands of participants read English-language stories and rewrote them to be read by other participants, who then rewrote them for others. Only certain words from the first stories survived in the final versions. Researchers analyzed the word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time. The scientists also analyzed two large collections of English historical texts from the past two centuries, containing more than 40 billion words—again seeing only certain types survive.
The results combined to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” (演变优势) by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as “hand,” “uncle” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words stay better than abstract ones: “dog” persists longer than “animal,”which persists longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words—whether negative or positive—tend to last.
Indiana cognitive scientist and study co-author Fritz Breithaupt says the new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand. Still, “the English language is not baby talk.” Breithaupt explains, “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat counter this shift.
The proposed trend toward “simpler” language is controversial. Columbia University linguist John McWhorter questions, however, the overall efficiency of English—a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical uses. “There are about five ways to indicate the future in English,” he says. “I pity anybody who doesn’t grow up with it natively” and wants to learn it. Study lead author Ying Li, a Chinese psychologist, notes that English had even more complicated grammar in the past. McWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago.”
32. What contributes to language change according to the new study
A. A shift towards simple words.
B. The analysis of historical texts.
C. A preference for certain words.
D. The exploration of social factors.
33. Which of the following words has the greatest “evolutionary advantage”
A. Feeling. B. Smile. C. Independence. D. Life.
34. What does the underlined word “counter” mean in paragraph 4
A. Rely on. B. Adapt to. C. Speed up. D. Balance out.
35. What can we infer about MeWhorter in the last paragraph
A. He would likely criticize English grammar more in the past.
B. He would probably doubt the necessity of the English future tense.
C. He believes modern English grammar improves language efficiency.
D. He thinks native English speakers find English grammar challenging.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children’s lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. 36 To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies:
Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. 37 If they’re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. Once they’ve done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort.
38 Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from. Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me ” or “Is this information proven ” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. 39 However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use. For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. 40 These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch (依靠), you’ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking.
A. Model responsible AI use. B. Teach them to question the source. C. However, do not use it to complete assignments. D. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut. E. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly. F. For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas. G. While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.

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 the beginning of December. People were busy in my home. The living room, transformed into a sort of workshop, was piled with boxes, wrapping paper, and some colorful ribbons (缎带). At the center of it all was my mother, Lee-Ann.
Every year, Lee-Ann organized a Christmas charity drive, collecting donations, gifts, and food hampers (食品篮) for families in need within our community. It was a tradition she had started when I was just a toddler, fueled by her belief that everyone deserved to experience the joy and warmth of life, regardless of their circumstances.
“But, Mom, do you think we can manage I mean, it’s amazing what you’re doing, but it’s a lot of work, and...” I asked.
She stopped wrapping and looked up at me, her gaze firm yet gentle. “Mark, do you know why I do this every year ” she asked.
I shook my head, realizing I had never really known her motivations.
“Because,” she continued, “giving brings us together. It reminds us that we’re all part of a bigger family. And if we can make even a small difference in someone’s life, then all the effort is worth it.”
Moved by her words, I nodded, understanding for the first time the depth of her commitment.
The days that followed were a lot of activities. Our family, along with a group of volunteers drawn in by my mother’s infectious enthusiasm, worked tirelessly. We wrapped gifts, packed food hampers, and arranged deliveries. My mother was everywhere at once, encouraging, and spreading cheer.
On Christmas Eve, as we loaded the last of the hampers into the van, my mother turned to me and said, “ Ready for the final round ”
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。
I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” “But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.”

例文1：
I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” As we made our rounds, delivering hampers and seeing the joy on the faces of those we helped, I felt a profound connection to the community and to my mother’s mission. Each “thank you” and every smile was a reminder of the impact of her work. Later that evening, as we sat around our own Christmas tree, my mother wrapped an arm around me. “Thank you, Mark,” she said. “For being my right-hand man.”
“But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” She laughed softly. “Maybe, but every superhero needs a team. And I’ve got the best one.” That year, like every year, my mother, Lee-Ann, showed us the true meaning of giving and the power of compassion. She taught us that by coming together to support one another, we could create ripples of kindness that would extend far and wide. In my eyes, and in the eyes of our community, she was, and always will be, a superhero.
例文2：
I smiled, filled with a sense of pride and purpose. “Let’s do it.” With that, we set off on our journey to distribute the gifts and food hampers to the families in need within our community. The air was crisp with the chill of winter, but it did nothing to dampen our spirits. Each family we visited was overwhelmed with gratitude, their eyes lighting up as they received the much-needed supplies. At one stop, after helping a single mother and her children unpack the hamper, my mother placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said, “You know, you’re a hero today.”
“But Mom,” I replied, “you’re the real superhero here.” My mother’s dedication to this charity drive went beyond mere organization and planning. It was a testament to her belief in the power of giving and the importance of community. As we completed our deliveries and returned home, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for having a mother who taught me the true meaning of Christmas—not just the presents and decorations, but the joy of giving and the warmth of being part of a larger family.

M: In 2016,13 years after Laura Carney’s father’s death, she spotted her late father’s bucket list. Laura looked at it, and then she glanced up at her husband. “I need to finish it,” she said. The list had 60 tasks, five of which had already been checked off, including “do a comedy monologue in a restaurant” and “see a World Series game live”. One was marked “failed”- “pay back my dad $1,000 plus interest”. That left 54 items for Laura to complete. The items ranged from relatively simple tasks, like “swim the width of a river” and “grow a watermelon” to more complicated tasks, like “talk with the president”. Still, Laura was determined. She learned that the former President Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school in Georgia. She and her husband flew there to meet him. Laura completed many tasks on the bucket list by herself, including a two-week trip to Europe. “I didn’t feel like I was doing things alone, because I knew my dad was with me. My dad was such a dreamer. He spent his days working as a salesman and his spare time singing, writing and performing,” Laura said. “I really encourage everybody to write a bucket list. It helps you start living more intentionally. When you live with purpose, you’re more likely to find your direction in life. And don’t be afraid of leaving some of the items on your list unfinished.”

本文是一篇记叙文，通过夹叙夹议的方式，探讨了青少年护肤抗老的问题，以及“美丽焦虑”对青春期女孩子的影响。文章倡导青少年树立正确的审美观。
24. A具体信息题。文章开篇提到: “when Scarlett and her classmates were in fifth grade, they started to worry about getting wrinkles.”可以推断出，Scarlett在小学阶段就对皱纹问题产生了忧虑，由此正确答案为A。
25. D推理判断题。第二段首句描述到: “One night, Scarlett’s skin began to burn intensely and got bubbles.”与D选项“Her skin started to burn and blister.”相吻合，说明Scarlett在使用某种护肤品后，皮肤出现了严重的不良反应。

本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了语言随时间变化的认知选择因素。研究表明，早期习得、具体性及情感关联是词汇存留的关键因素。尽管语言演化趋于简单高效，复杂语言仍用于应对现代生活需求，同时引发了关于英语语法复杂性的讨论与反思。
32. C文章主旨题。根据第一段“… very little deals with the forces of human cognitive selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary”以及实验分析中提到的“… word types speakers consistently favored, theorizing that such preferences drive language change over time”可知，研究表明语言变化是由人类认知选择驱动的，故选C项。
33. B推理判断题。根据研究结果，语言的“进化优势”包括三个特性：早期习得性、具体性以及情感激励性。选项中“Smile” (微笑) 具备早期习得、具体性和情感关联，因此比“feeling” (情感的总称，偏抽象) 、 “independence” (学得的抽象词汇) 和“life” (具体词汇) 更具优势。故选B。
34. D词义猜测题。第四段提到“New words that address the complicated modern life may somewhat counter this shift”, 上下文讨论语言向简单化演变的趋势，但出现应对复杂现代生活的新词平衡了这种趋势。结合语境， “counter”意为“抵消、平衡”。故选C。
35. A推理判断题。根据最后一段“McWhorter questions ... the overall efficiency of English—a language he says contains things like ‘needlessly complex’ grammatical uses”可知，他认为英语语法过于复杂，应简化以提升沟通效率。故选A。

AI时代怎样教学生用好人工智能技术，是当下的一个非常重要的课题。本文采用常见的语篇性填空题的叙事结构，提出可供小朋友使用AI辅助学习的四个原则。
36. G解析：前文提到人工智能在孩子们生活中日益常见，从语音助手到作业辅助工具等，后文则说要帮助孩子平衡人工智能的益处，避免产生依赖，所以此处需要一个承上启下的句子，指出虽然这些技术很有用，但过度依赖会产生问题，G选项符合语境逻辑。
37. D解析：该空所在段主旨是要把人工智能当作支持性伙伴而非解决方案，后文举例说明让孩子先独立完成作业，再用人工智能检查等，强调把人工智能当作辅助而非捷径，D选项“Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.”能很好地概括这一主旨并与后文举例相呼应。
38. B解析：该段主要讲了要有意识地使用技术，要对信息来源保持好奇，提示孩子问诸如信息来源及是否经过验证等问题，核心就是教孩子去质疑来源，B选项“Teach them to question the source.”能准确概括此段内容。
39. F解析：前文提到鼓励孩子在创意项目中把人工智能当作头脑风暴工具，后文又说他们需要用自己独特风格去塑造想法，F选项“For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.”通过举例写故事时向人工智能寻求话题思路，符合前文把人工智能用于创意项目中当作启发工具这一内容，衔接自然。
40. C解析：前文说要给人工智能使用设定界限，比如可用于初步研究，后文说这些指导方针强调人工智能不能替代学习过程和独立思考，C选项“However, do not use it to complete assignments.”与前文形成转折关系，进一步说明界限所在，即不能用它来完成作业，符合上下文语境要求。
