Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve called this meeting to tell you about moving our students to the new place in groups, so please listen carefully. The Agriculture students won’t move at all. Their new place was opened last year, and they are well placed for both labs and classroom space. The History students, however, are a different case. They will move to the new place next week, but unfortunately, their teachers will be left in the old buildings, as their new offices are still being painted. Better news for the Engineering students. You are already moving to the new place, and the move should be completed next week. The department of law has been moved downtown. They are now in their new buildings. We’re accepting suggestions for the ways school buildings could be used. So, if you have further questions, please let us know. Thank you.
Text 10
M: Good morning, Cindy. What are you doing?
W: I’m working out the details for the coming welcome party.
M: Oh, yes. It’s time to do it now.
W: Right. Let’s talk about the form first.
M: I think we can book food from a restaurant and hold the party in our school. The dance hall is a good place for it.
W: That’s good. Then we will book food and have the welcome party in the dance hall. The next one is the date. How about September 12th? It’s a Saturday.
M: That’s fine.
W: Let’s think about invitations.
M: I think we should invite dean, instructors, professors, and all new students. There will be about 50 people to come. So we will send out invitation cards this week, right?
W: Right. Now let’s count the cost.
M: How about 10 dollars for each person?
W: Paul, don’t forget I need some money to prepare for masks, colored lights and gifts.
M: Then 15 dollars?
W: At least. So the total cost is about 750 dollars.
M: I think that’s enough.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，38分）
第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28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
Prom (舞会) Time!
A school prom is a formal party to celebrate an important date at school such as the end of secondary school or after completing school exams in Year 12 (aged 17–18). Proms are held in July, around the end of exam time. The idea is to celebrate your time and work at school. Some schools pay a professional organisation to arrange it. Others hold it themselves with a school dinner in the school hall. But they all involve big parties and big dresses. Get a plan before you go!
Clothes
You should dress up for your prom with formal wear. Many teenagers commonly wear school uniforms, but on prom night girls exchange their uniforms for beautiful evening dresses and high heels (高跟鞋). Boys that are usually only seen in jeans and trainers when not at school dress up in a suit with a tie and smart shoes. The right hairstyle and make-up are important too.
Vehicles
Arriving at your prom in large 4x4 vehicles is very popular. But it is not the standard answer. Two girls with a sense of humour arrived at their school prom both dressed as Barbie. Did they arrive in a car? No, they travelled in a more original style: their mothers made each girl a life-sized Barbie box and they were trucked to the prom party in their boxes!
Cost
The school prom is big business. The average prom costs parents over ₤200 per teenager. Of course, not all families would like to spend so much money on their teenager’s prom. If your family doesn’t have the budget (预算) , you may save your pocket money or work part-time to cover the cost. There are popular jobs, including babysitting, shop work and working as a waiter or waitress.
According to the recent newspaper report, nearly 85% of schools in Britain have a prom. However, the modern school prom is not popular with most parents of teenagers.
41. A school prom is held mainly to ________.
A. enjoy school dinners B. celebrate graduation
C. start an organisation D. pass school exams
42. What do we know about school proms from the passage?
A. Boys prefer to wear jeans at proms.
B. Proms are welcomed by all teen families.
C. Expensive vehicles are necessary for proms.
D. Part-time jobs can be taken to pay for proms.
43. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the cost of school proms.
B. To present the types of school proms.
C. To offer information about school proms.
D. To show attitudes towards school proms.
【答案】
41. B 42. D 43. C
【解析】

B
Peggy, an old border collie (柯利牧羊犬), was signed over to the RSPCA, a charity with a primary focus on rescuing and rehoming animals, after her owner could no longer communicate with her. The owner thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear.
However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal health manager from the organisation.
Shorten and her husband, Jason, a shepherd (牧羊人), taught Peggy to understand hand signals and body language. The couple trained Peggy with the help of a sheepdog trainer and their two other working dogs, Sid and Nora.
Shorten said, “We completely fell in love with Peggy almost at first sight, and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to work with a shepherd without relying on voice orders.”
The couple began by training Peggy to look at them to receive hand signals. They used repetitive and positive reinforcement and instead of pairing a voice order with an action, they’d use a hand gesture. Peggy read their hand signals and body language as a way of telling what they’re asking for.
Shorten and her husband point in a certain direction to indicate where they want Peggy to go and pat their knees to call her back to them. To ask her to slow down, Shorten does a waving gesture.
Peggy is not working full-time but enjoys helping out in the fields. “It can be difficult with a deaf dog because you have to wave at her to get her attention, and sometimes she doesn’t realize straight away,” she said. “But she’s such a happy little dog. She’s no spring chicken, and she is generally retired, but she loves going out to work with us and running around in the fields.”
44. Why was Peggy brought to the RSPCA?
A. Because she was old. B. Because she was noisy.
C. Because she was deaf. D. Because she was retired.
45. How did the couple train Peggy to communicate?
A. By relying on other sheepdogs.
B. By working long hours in the fields.
C. By using sign and gesture language.
D. By matching voice orders with actions.
46. According to the passage, which word can best describe Chloe Shorten?
A. Caring. B. Curious. C. Grateful. D. Demanding.
【答案】
44. C 45. C 46. A
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是牧羊犬Peggy变聋后，Chloe Shorten是如何训练她交流的。
【答案】
【解析】
【44题解析】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The owner thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear.（主人认为她不能再工作了，因为她听不见）”和第二段中“However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal health manager from the organisation.（然而，在Peggy 被交给皇家防止虐待动物协会后，该组织的动物健康经理Chloe Shorten收养了她）”，可知，Peggy变聋了，所以被带到RSPCA。故选C。
【答案】
【解析】

They used repetitive and positive reinforcement and instead of pairing a voice order with an action, they’d use a hand gesture. Peggy read their hand signals and body language as a way of telling what they’re asking for. （这对夫妇开始训练Peggy 看着他们来接收手势。 他们使用重复和积极的强化，而不是将声音顺序与动作配对，他们会使用一个手势。 Peggy 读懂了他们的手势和肢体语言，以此来表达他们的要求）”，可知，这对夫妇通过使用手语和手势语言来训练Peggy交流。故选C。

推理判断题。根据第四段中“We completely fell in love with Peggy almost at first sight, and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to work with a shepherd without relying on voice orders.（我们几乎是第一眼看到Peggy 就彻底爱上了她，很快我们就明白，她哪儿也去不了。 我们知道Peggy 想要工作，所以我们开始了一个漫长的过程，教她如何在不依赖语音指令的情况下与牧羊人一起工作）”，可知，Chloe Shorten具有关爱，有同情心，所以描述Chloe Shorten的最好的词汇是“caring”。故选A。

Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.
When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study.
Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention.
However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on.
Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.
Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. If you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasn’t because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.
47. What result has technology brought to students?
A. It urges them to process information.
B. It prevents them obtaining information.
C. It ruins their possible classroom distraction.
D. It damages their ability to digest information.
48. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Maintain. B. Motivate. C. Reduce. D. Replace.
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Direct instruction takes priority in lessons.
B. Digital resources will weaken offline learning.
C. Small lessons can engage students in learning.
D. Laptop noting helps students gain knowledge better.
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Students need to learn to get rid of social media.
B. Teachers should progress to educate the young generation.
C. The benefits of technology on education outweigh its harm.
D. Traditional methods are favoured by both teachers and students.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述现在电子科技已经融入到了年轻学生的生活中，研究表明互联网让他们能够快速找到信息，而代价是课堂上的注意力严重分散。教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。

【解析】
【47题解析】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.”（如果注意力不集中，学生将无法处理信息，这意味着他们将无法理解、分析、批评并对信息做出决定。）可推知，互联网会让学生注意力分散，注意力分散后就不能很好的去消化所获得的信息。故选D。
【答案】
【解析】
【48题解析】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句话“Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate.”（当学生需要集中注意力时，一些老师开始上课时进行正念练习。）以及转折连词however可知前后为转折关系。根据划线所在句子的“ any sort of “tech breaks””（任何形式的“技术突破”）和后面的“the desires to come back to study”（重返学习的欲望）可知，老师在上课是会想一些办法让学生集中注意力，但是，只要碰上和互联网有关的东西，就会降低孩子们学习的欲望，所以counteract的意思为“减少，降低”。故选C。

【解析】
【50题解析】
文章大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段最后一句话“Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.”（教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。）可知，这篇文章想要表达我们不可能避免网络或科技给学生们带来的害处，只有老师不断提升自己来教育年轻的一代，让他们在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。故选B。

The health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to a report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.
Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.
The solution, says the report’s author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.
“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”
Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”
51. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. millions of people are threatened with cancer
B. most countries see a shortage of herbal medicines
C. about two thirds of medicinal species will disappear
D. a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction
52. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. pollution B. sustainability
C. over-harvesting D. other species’ invasion
53. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.
B. Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.
C. Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants’ future.
D. China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.
54. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A Low-cost Cancer Treatment
B. The Importance of Sustainability
C. Medicinal Plants Facing Extinction
D. Sustainable Development of the Environment

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了某些药用植物濒临灭绝的现状，导致的原因及解决办法。
【答案】
【解析】
【51题解析】
细节理解题。根据第一段“because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up”（因为药用植物的供应正在耗尽）和第二段“But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out”（但在5万种药用植物中，约有1.5万种正面临灭绝的威胁）可知，在5万种药用植物中，约有15000种正面临灭绝的威胁，所以可知有相当一部分药用植物面临灭绝。故选D。
【答案】
【解析】
【52题解析】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized”.”（一般商人收获药用植物，不关心药用植物的可持续发展，Plantlife报告中说，“损伤严重的部分原因是因为征收药用植物的商人对它一无所知，更主要原因是这样的征收是没有组织性的。”）根据上下文可知，这句话说的是商人只知征收，对药物严重损伤，部分原因是不知道要让药物可持续生长，即征收药用植物的商人对药用植物的可持续性生长一无所知。故选B。
【答案】
【解析】
【53题解析】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”（我们做的还远远不够。我们正在摧毁对我们最有用的植物。）可知，在保护药用植物方面做的还远远不够，还在对它们造成破坏。这项工作任重道远，故选A。
【答案】
【解析】
【54题解析】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了某些药用植物濒临灭绝的现状，导致的原因及解决办法。C项“濒临灭绝的药用植物”适合作为标题。故选C。

第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）
（共4小题；第60、61题各2分，第62题3分，第63题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Chinese Fancy Knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. And they became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Now they are taken as one of the most representative symbols of Chinese culture and regarded as popular gifts for foreign friends.
As for the name itself, it is definitely meaningful. The Chinese character for “knot”, jie, means “connection” “combination”. It is associated with a wide range of cultural concepts — marriage, brotherhood, friendship, unity, reunion, etc. Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese character jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.
Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese, come in various sizes. Small ones are attached to jewellery, clothes, gift-wrapping and furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are applied like fine paintings or photographs to decorate a living room or study.
In addition to their varied sizes and styles, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Each knot is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver, and named according to its shape and meaning. But the colors of the strings are rich and have various traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colors, red symbolizes good luck and happiness, green means health and harmony, and yellow, which was once known as the emperor’s color, may represent wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect the depth of Chinese culture.
60. When did Chinese knots start as a form of folk art?
61. According to the passage, what do Chinese knots express?
62. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Chinese knots come in different sizes, styles, and each knot is made of several strings.
63. Besides Chinese knots, what would you like to choose as a gift representing Chinese culture for a foreign friend? Why? (In about 40 words)
【答案】
60. They started as a form of folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China.
61. Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.
62. Chinese knots come in different sizes, styles, and each knot is made of several strings.
Each knot is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver.
63. I would like to choose paper cuts with the Chinese character “Fu" as a gift. Because it is a Chinese folk art and it can express my best wishes for good luck. What’s more, paper cuts can be used to decorate their rooms.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve called this meeting to tell you about moving our students to the new place in groups, so please listen carefully. The Agriculture students won’t move at all. Their new place was opened last year, and they are well placed for both labs and classroom space. The History students, however, are a different case. They will move to the new place next week, but unfortunately, their teachers will be left in the old buildings, as their new offices are still being painted. Better news for the Engineering students. You are already moving to the new place, and the move should be completed next week. The department of law has been moved downtown. They are now in their new buildings. We’re accepting suggestions for the ways school buildings could be used. So, if you have further questions, please let us know. Thank you.

M: Good morning, Cindy. What are you doing?
W: I’m working out the details for the coming welcome party.
M: Oh, yes. It’s time to do it now.
W: Right. Let’s talk about the form first.
M: I think we can book food from a restaurant and hold the party in our school. The dance hall is a good place for it.
W: That’s good. Then we will book food and have the welcome party in the dance hall. The next one is the date. How about September 12th? It’s a Saturday.
M: That’s fine.
W: Let’s think about invitations.
M: I think we should invite dean, instructors, professors, and all new students. There will be about 50 people to come. So we will send out invitation cards this week, right?
W: Right. Now let’s count the cost.
M: How about 10 dollars for each person?
W: Paul, don’t forget I need some money to prepare for masks, colored lights and gifts.
M: Then 15 dollars?
W: At least. So the total cost is about 750 dollars.
M: I think that’s enough.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，38分）
第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28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
Prom (舞会) Time!
A school prom is a formal party to celebrate an important date at school such as the end of secondary school or after completing school exams in Year 12 (aged 17–18). Proms are held in July, around the end of exam time. The idea is to celebrate your time and work at school. Some schools pay a professional organisation to arrange it. Others hold it themselves with a school dinner in the school hall. But they all involve big parties and big dresses. Get a plan before you go!
Clothes
You should dress up for your prom with formal wear. Many teenagers commonly wear school uniforms, but on prom night girls exchange their uniforms for beautiful evening dresses and high heels (高跟鞋). Boys that are usually only seen in jeans and trainers when not at school dress up in a suit with a tie and smart shoes. The right hairstyle and make-up are important too.
Vehicles
Arriving at your prom in large 4x4 vehicles is very popular. But it is not the standard answer. Two girls with a sense of humour arrived at their school prom both dressed as Barbie. Did they arrive in a car? No, they travelled in a more original style: their mothers made each girl a life-sized Barbie box and they were trucked to the prom party in their boxes!
Cost
The school prom is big business. The average prom costs parents over ₤200 per teenager. Of course, not all families would like to spend so much money on their teenager’s prom. If your family doesn’t have the budget (预算) , you may save your pocket money or work part-time to cover the cost. There are popular jobs, including babysitting, shop work and working as a waiter or waitress.
According to the recent newspaper report, nearly 85% of schools in Britain have a prom. However, the modern school prom is not popular with most parents of teenagers.
41. A school prom is held mainly to ________.
A. enjoy school dinners B. celebrate graduation
C. start an organisation D. pass school exams
42. What do we know about school proms from the passage?
A. Boys prefer to wear jeans at proms.
B. Proms are welcomed by all teen families.
C. Expensive vehicles are necessary for proms.
D. Part-time jobs can be taken to pay for proms.
43. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse the cost of school proms.
B. To present the types of school proms.
C. To offer information about school proms.
D. To show attitudes towards school proms.
【答案】
41. B 42. D 43. C
【解析】

B
Peggy, an old border collie (柯利牧羊犬), was signed over to the RSPCA, a charity with a primary focus on rescuing and rehoming animals, after her owner could no longer communicate with her. The owner thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear.
However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal health manager from the organisation.
Shorten and her husband, Jason, a shepherd (牧羊人), taught Peggy to understand hand signals and body language. The couple trained Peggy with the help of a sheepdog trainer and their two other working dogs, Sid and Nora.
Shorten said, “We completely fell in love with Peggy almost at first sight, and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to work with a shepherd without relying on voice orders.”
The couple began by training Peggy to look at them to receive hand signals. They used repetitive and positive reinforcement and instead of pairing a voice order with an action, they’d use a hand gesture. Peggy read their hand signals and body language as a way of telling what they’re asking for.
Shorten and her husband point in a certain direction to indicate where they want Peggy to go and pat their knees to call her back to them. To ask her to slow down, Shorten does a waving gesture.
Peggy is not working full-time but enjoys helping out in the fields. “It can be difficult with a deaf dog because you have to wave at her to get her attention, and sometimes she doesn’t realize straight away,” she said. “But she’s such a happy little dog. She’s no spring chicken, and she is generally retired, but she loves going out to work with us and running around in the fields.”
44. Why was Peggy brought to the RSPCA?
A. Because she was old. B. Because she was noisy.
C. Because she was deaf. D. Because she was retired.
45. How did the couple train Peggy to communicate?
A. By relying on other sheepdogs.
B. By working long hours in the fields.
C. By using sign and gesture language.
D. By matching voice orders with actions.
46. According to the passage, which word can best describe Chloe Shorten?
A. Caring. B. Curious. C. Grateful. D. Demanding.
【答案】
44. C 45. C 46. A
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是牧羊犬Peggy变聋后，Chloe Shorten是如何训练她交流的。

【答案】
【解析】
【45题解析】

They used repetitive and positive reinforcement and instead of pairing a voice order with an action, they’d use a hand gesture. Peggy read their hand signals and body language as a way of telling what they’re asking for. （这对夫妇开始训练Peggy 看着他们来接收手势。 他们使用重复和积极的强化，而不是将声音顺序与动作配对，他们会使用一个手势。 Peggy 读懂了他们的手势和肢体语言，以此来表达他们的要求）”，可知，这对夫妇通过使用手语和手势语言来训练Peggy交流。故选C。
【答案】
【解析】
【46题解析】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“We completely fell in love with Peggy almost at first sight, and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to work with a shepherd without relying on voice orders.（我们几乎是第一眼看到Peggy 就彻底爱上了她，很快我们就明白，她哪儿也去不了。 我们知道Peggy 想要工作，所以我们开始了一个漫长的过程，教她如何在不依赖语音指令的情况下与牧羊人一起工作）”，可知，Chloe Shorten具有关爱，有同情心，所以描述Chloe Shorten的最好的词汇是“caring”。故选A。
C
Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.
When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study.
Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention.
However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on.
Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.
Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. If you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasn’t because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.
47. What result has technology brought to students?
A. It urges them to process information.
B. It prevents them obtaining information.
C. It ruins their possible classroom distraction.
D. It damages their ability to digest information.
48. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Maintain. B. Motivate. C. Reduce. D. Replace.
49. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Direct instruction takes priority in lessons.
B. Digital resources will weaken offline learning.
C. Small lessons can engage students in learning.
D. Laptop noting helps students gain knowledge better.
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Students need to learn to get rid of social media.
B. Teachers should progress to educate the young generation.
C. The benefits of technology on education outweigh its harm.
D. Traditional methods are favoured by both teachers and students.
【答案】
47. D 48. C 49. A 50. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述现在电子科技已经融入到了年轻学生的生活中，研究表明互联网让他们能够快速找到信息，而代价是课堂上的注意力严重分散。教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。
【答案】
【解析】
【47题解析】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.”（如果注意力不集中，学生将无法处理信息，这意味着他们将无法理解、分析、批评并对信息做出决定。）可推知，互联网会让学生注意力分散，注意力分散后就不能很好的去消化所获得的信息。故选D。
【答案】
【解析】
【48题解析】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句话“Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate.”（当学生需要集中注意力时，一些老师开始上课时进行正念练习。）以及转折连词however可知前后为转折关系。根据划线所在句子的“ any sort of “tech breaks””（任何形式的“技术突破”）和后面的“the desires to come back to study”（重返学习的欲望）可知，老师在上课是会想一些办法让学生集中注意力，但是，只要碰上和互联网有关的东西，就会降低孩子们学习的欲望，所以counteract的意思为“减少，降低”。故选C。
【答案】
【解析】
【49题解析】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句话“Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. ”（甚至许多技术倡导者也发现传统方法的价值，并建议进行综合学习。他们同意教师的权威仍然至关重要，师生面对面的互动仍然是课堂的主要组成部分。）可知，在教学当中，我们应该遵循传统的方法，老师和学生面对面教学，老师对学生做出直接的指导应该在教学中占优先地位。故选A。
【答案】
【解析】
【50题解析】
文章大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段最后一句话“Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.”（教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。）可知，这篇文章想要表达我们不可能避免网络或科技给学生们带来的害处，只有老师不断提升自己来教育年轻的一代，让他们在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。故选B。
D
The health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.
Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to a report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.
Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.
The solution, says the report’s author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.
“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”
Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”
51. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. millions of people are threatened with cancer
B. most countries see a shortage of herbal medicines
C. about two thirds of medicinal species will disappear
D. a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction
52. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. pollution B. sustainability
C. over-harvesting D. other species’ invasion
53. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.
B. Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.

【51题解析】
细节理解题。根据第一段“because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up”（因为药用植物的供应正在耗尽）和第二段“But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out”（但在5万种药用植物中，约有1.5万种正面临灭绝的威胁）可知，在5万种药用植物中，约有15000种正面临灭绝的威胁，所以可知有相当一部分药用植物面临灭绝。故选D。

【解析】
【52题解析】
词句猜测题。根据上一句“Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized”.”（一般商人收获药用植物，不关心药用植物的可持续发展，Plantlife报告中说，“损伤严重的部分原因是因为征收药用植物的商人对它一无所知，更主要原因是这样的征收是没有组织性的。”）根据上下文可知，这句话说的是商人只知征收，对药物严重损伤，部分原因是不知道要让药物可持续生长，即征收药用植物的商人对药用植物的可持续性生长一无所知。故选B。
【答案】
【解析】
【53题解析】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not nearly enough is being done. We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”（我们做的还远远不够。我们正在摧毁对我们最有用的植物。）可知，在保护药用植物方面做的还远远不够，还在对它们造成破坏。这项工作任重道远，故选A。

第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）
（共4小题；第60、61题各2分，第62题3分，第63题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Chinese Fancy Knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. And they became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Now they are taken as one of the most representative symbols of Chinese culture and regarded as popular gifts for foreign friends.
As for the name itself, it is definitely meaningful. The Chinese character for “knot”, jie, means “connection” “combination”. It is associated with a wide range of cultural concepts — marriage, brotherhood, friendship, unity, reunion, etc. Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese character jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.
Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese, come in various sizes. Small ones are attached to jewellery, clothes, gift-wrapping and furniture in order to attract people’s attention, while large ones are applied like fine paintings or photographs to decorate a living room or study.
In addition to their varied sizes and styles, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Each knot is made of a single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver, and named according to its shape and meaning. But the colors of the strings are rich and have various traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colors, red symbolizes good luck and happiness, green means health and harmony, and yellow, which was once known as the emperor’s color, may represent wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect the depth of Chinese culture.
