Air Tag, a small Bluetooth-and-GPS-enabled device, was released by Apple in April 2021. This small device aimed at making our lives easier was originally designed to end the trouble of losing keys, wallets or other little objects. However, it may become the “perfect” tracking tool if in the wrong hands. My ex-husband was an early adopter of the AirTag. He and I had a falling out, leading to a divorce battle. In order to win custody battle, he used the little device to track me.
As a tech giant, the Apple company brought great convenience to the users, including me. I had never given a thought to tracking via Air Tag until it happened to me. So I started scanning stories about Air Tag. I was surprised to find that I was not alone. There were so many people tracked by these seemingly innocent electronic tags in their daily life. AirTag which was originally launched for a better life should have such a dark side in the wrong hands.
People have found that the digital device has the potential for abuse. What matters is how to avoid its danger. Apple has released updates to the AirTag’s functionality very quickly since they hit the market. Meanwhile, Apple has also improved its customer service to deal with the bugs of this kind. If you find an unwanted AirTag following you, don’t panic. Just disable it. You can follow the prompts on your Apple device to learn more about disabling the device. Once you’ve completed the above step, the tag’s original owner can’t keep track of you any more.
Almost every digital technology creates security issues. Nobody can go and live in a cave to remain unaffected. While enjoying its convenience, you need to be aware of the risks it poses, and know how to deal with them. Prevention is more effective in security issues than fixes. After all, a stitch in time saves nine.
4. What is the original function of AirTag?
A. To track one’s location secretly. B. To help find one’s easily lost items.
C. To locate one’s phone accurately. D. To ensure the safety of one’s phone.
5. Why did the author scan stories about AirTag?
A. Her ex-husband tracked her via AirTag.
B. Many people suffered from security problem.
C. AirTag was a newly released electronic device.
D. She intended to know about its great convenience.
6. What is advised to do when you are followed by an unwanted AirTag?
A. Have it updated. B. Make it unable to work.
C. Pay no attention to it. D. Contact its original owner.
7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A. People should keep pace with the times.
B. People should use technology in a proper way.
C. People should handle potential digital risks actively.
D. People should bear the responsibility to fix the bugs bravely.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Air Tag这种小程序可以被人用来追踪他人，介绍了其最初的功能以及如何防止被追踪。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This small device aimed at making our lives easier was originally designed to end the trouble of losing keys, wallets or other little objects. (这个旨在让我们的生活更轻松的小设备最初是为了解决丢失钥匙、钱包或其他小物件的麻烦而设计的)”可知，AirTag最初的功能是帮助寻找容易丢失的物品。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“My ex-husband was an early adopter of the AirTag. He and I had a falling out, leading to a divorce battle. In order to win custody battle, he used the little device to track me. (我前夫是AirTag的早期使用者。我和他闹翻了，闹出了离婚大战。为了赢得抚养权，他用那个小装置跟踪我)”可知，作者浏览有关AirTag的故事是因为她的前夫通过AirTag追踪到她。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you find an unwanted AirTag following you, don’t panic. Just disable it. (如果你发现一个不需要的AirTag跟踪你，不要惊慌。禁用它)”可知，当你后面跟着一个不需要的AirTag时，建议使它无法工作。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People have found that the digital device has the potential for abuse. What matters is how to avoid its danger. Apple has released updates to the AirTag’s functionality very quickly since they hit the market. Meanwhile, Apple has also improved its customer service to deal with the bugs of this kind. If you find an unwanted AirTag following you, don’t panic. Just disable it. You can follow the prompts on your Apple device to learn more about disabling the device. Once you’ve completed the above step, the tag’s original owner can’t keep track of you any more. (人们发现这种数字设备有被滥用的可能。重要的是如何避免危险。自从AirTag上市以来，苹果公司很快就对其功能进行了更新。与此同时，苹果也改善了客户服务来处理这类错误。如果你发现一个不需要的AirTag跟踪你，不要惊慌。禁用它。你可以按照苹果设备上的提示来了解有关禁用该设备的更多信息。一旦你完成了上述步骤，标记的原始所有者就不能再跟踪你了)”以及最后一段“Almost every digital technology creates security issues. Nobody can go and live in a cave to remain unaffected. While enjoying its convenience, you need to be aware of the risks it poses, and know how to deal with them. Prevention is more effective in security issues than fixes. After all, a stitch in time saves nine. (几乎所有的数字技术都会产生安全问题。没有人可以住在洞穴里而不受影响。在享受它的便利的同时，你需要意识到它带来的风险，并知道如何应对它们。在安全问题上，预防比修复更有效。毕竟，一针及时省九针)”可知，最后两段主要讲的是人们应该积极应对潜在的数字风险。故选C。
C
Why do we choose to help one another? There are many reasons. You may be a selfless person or lending a hand may be a cultural expectation.
Now, researchers are raising the possibility that good sleep may be a wonderful ingredient that promotes the alacrity to offer help between human beings. Indeed the better sleep you have, the more willing you will be to lend a hand. And a surprising new set of research studies have found that sleep loss may affect our generosity at different levels.
Researchers at University of California, Berkley, led three small studies to explore generosity. In one study, they exposed a group of healthy adults to a night of 8 hours of sleep and a night with no sleep. Researchers scanned the participants’ brains after each night. After a sleepless night, areas of the brain involved in empathy and helping behavior were less active. In fact, when the study participants were sleepless at night, 78% of them demonstrated a reduction in the desire to help others.
In the next study, researchers tracked 136 people through online questionnaires and sleep diaries for a few days. They wanted to see if nightly variations in sleep affected their desire to help others. They found that, when sleep quality worsened from one night to the next, there was a major decrease in “helping choices” and vice versa.
The third study looked at how sleep loss affected generosity on a larger scale. The researchers analyzed data from over 3 million charitable donations made in the U.S.. They focused on donations during the transition to Daylight Saving Time(DST)in spring each year. During the spring time change, we lose an hour of sleep.
Interestingly, researchers found a 10% drop in donations in regions that change their clocks. This drop wasn’t seen in regions that didn’t observe the time change. It showed that insufficient sleep triggered by the time change impacted donation behavior.
All these results suggest that insufficient sleep makes us less compassionate and helpful. Throughout the world more than half of adults don’t get enough sleep during the workweek, but we should all start valuing adequate sleep rather than treating it like something optional or unproductive. If so, it will enable us to be more helpful and to be the best versions of ourselves.
8. What’s the writing purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To start a heated discussion. B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To present a social phenomenon. D. To show the author’s conclusion.
9. What does the underlined word “alacrity” mean in the second paragraph?
A. Understanding. B. Ability.
C. Awareness. D. Eagerness.
10. What can we infer from the three studies?
A. People observing DST are likely to donate less.
B. People change their clocks to have more empathy.
C. Sleep quality determines the desire to give a hand.
D. Sleep loss can severely affect helping behavior.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Sleep Triggers Behavior B. Adequate Sleep: A Healthy Person
C. Sleep Influences Generosity D. Sound Sleep: A Productive Person
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了睡眠与人们帮助他人的行为有关，事实上，你睡得越好，你就越愿意伸出援手。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Why do we choose to help one another? There are many reasons. You may be a selfless person or lending a hand may be a cultural expectation.(为什么我们选择互相帮助？原因有很多。你可能是一个无私的人，或者伸出援助之手可能是一种文化期望。)”可知，第一段提出了我们可能帮助别人的原因，第二段“Now, researchers are raising the possibility that good sleep may be a wonderful ingredient that promotes the alacrity to offer help between human beings.(现在，研究人员正在提高这样一种可能性，即良好的睡眠可能是促进人类之间提供帮助的快捷性的一种奇妙成分。)”指出一项研究表明，良好的睡眠有助于人类去帮助别人，这是文章的主题，由此可推知，第一段的写作目的是引出文章话题，故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Indeed the better sleep you have, the more willing you will be to lend a hand.(事实上，你睡得越好，你就越愿意伸出援手。)”可知，你睡得越好，你就越愿意伸出援手。换言之，良好的睡眠促使人们乐意去帮助别人，由此可推知，划线单词“alacrity”意为“乐意”，与D项“Eagerness.(渴望)”意思相近，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“They focused on donations during the transition to Daylight Saving Time(DST)in spring each year. During the spring time change, we lose an hour of sleep.(他们研究是重点是在每年春天过渡到夏时制期间的捐款情况。)”和倒数第二段中“Interestingly, researchers found a 10% drop in donations in regions that change their clocks. (有趣的是，研究人员发现，在改变生物钟的地区，捐赠减少了10% 。)”可推知，用夏时制的人们可能会捐赠较少。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Now, researchers are raising the possibility that good sleep may be a wonderful ingredient that promotes the alacrity to offer help between human beings. Indeed the better sleep you have, the more willing you will be to lend a hand.(现在，研究人员正在提高这样一种可能性，即良好的睡眠可能是促进人类之间提供帮助的快捷性的一种奇妙成分。事实上，你睡得越好，你就越愿意伸出援手。)”可知，文章主要讲述了睡眠与人们帮助他人的行为有关，事实上，你睡得越好，你就越愿意伸出援手。C项“睡眠影响慷慨”适合做文章标题，故选C。
D
Alarming levels of dangerous chemicals known as Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) were discovered in food packaging at a number of well-known fast-food restaurants and grocery store chains, a new report found. The report comes more than two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, when the public has relied heavily on takeout and grocery deliveries.
Often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS are used in food packaging to prevent grease (油脂) and water from soaking through food wrappers and cups. PFAS can also be found in the ink used to print logos and instructions on food containers.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls exposure to PFAS a “public health concern”, citing that the human-made chemicals can harm the immune system and reduce a person’s resistance to infectious diseases.
Regulatory limits for how much PFAS food packaging should contain can vary greatly. For instance, a new law in California set the limit at less than 100 ppm. “Compared to America, Denmark sets a much lower regulatory limit of 20 ppm with great success,” said Xenia Trier, an expert at the European Environment Agency. “It does work to set limits and enforce them. PFAS do migrate from the paper into the food. Even though it was not 100%, we still saw considerable transmission. In general, transmission from packaging to food is increased as the temperature of the food rises. It is the same with the time spent in wrapping materials.” Trier told NBS, one of the major American mass-media companies.
In response to the issue, Whole Foods became the first grocery chain to publicly commit to remove PFAS from takeout containers and bakery paper. Many other companies followed suit. Experts say people who want to avoid PFAS in their takeout and food delivery packaging should favor companies that have promised to remove the chemicals. “As soon as you receive your takeout, you’d better take food out of the container immediately, and never reheat food in its original container. Instead, remove your food and heat it in ceramic (陶瓷的) or glass containers.” Trier said.
12. What can we learn about PFAS in food packaging?
A. They have been used for two years.
B. They do little harm to consumers’ health.
C. They are used to break down the chemicals.
D. They can make wrappers resistant to grease and water.
13. What is Xenia Trier’s attitude to setting a lower limit of PFAS?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral.
C. Ambiguous. D. Opposed.
14. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Considerable migration of grease and water.
B. PFAS transmission from packaging to food.
C. Wrapper exposure to high food temperature.
D. Regulatory limits concerning food packaging.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Food packaging contains dangerous chemicals.
B. Consumers are recommended to have PFAS—free products.
C. PFAS found in food packaging has become a great concern.
D. The government has taken measures to reduce PFAS exposure.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了食品包装中发现全氟烷基化物质，这已经成为一个备受关注的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Often called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment, PFAS are used in food packaging to prevent grease and water from soaking through food wrappers and cups.(PFAS通常被称为“永久化学品”，因为它们在环境中不会分解，它被用于食品包装，以防止油脂和水渗入食品包装纸和杯子)”可知，食品包装中的PFAS可以使包装物耐油脂和水。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Compared to America, Denmark sets a much lower regulatory limit of 20 ppm with great success,” said Xenia Trier, an expert at the European Environment Agency.(欧洲环境署的专家Xenia Trier说：“与美国相比，丹麦设定了低得多的20 ppm的监管限制，取得了巨大成功。”)”可知，对于设定更低的PFAS下限，Xenia Trier持有支持态度。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“PFAS do migrate from the paper into the food. Even though it was not 100%, we still saw considerable transmission.(PFAS确实从纸张转移到了食品中。尽管它不是100%，但我们仍然看到了相当大的传播)”可知，句中it指代上文提及的“PFAS从纸张转移到食品中”。故选B。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Alarming levels of dangerous chemicals known as Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) were discovered in food packaging at a number of well-known fast-food restaurants and grocery store chains, a new report found.(一份新的报告发现，在一些知名快餐店和连锁杂货店的食品包装中发现了令人震惊的全氟烷基化物质)”以及第三段“The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls exposure to PFAS a “public health concern”, citing that the human-made chemicals can harm the immune system and reduce a person’s resistance to infectious diseases.(美国疾病控制和预防中心称接触PFAS是一种“公共卫生问题”，理由是人造化学物质会损害免疫系统，降低人对传染病的抵抗力)”可知，本文主要介绍了食品包装中发现全氟烷基化物质，这已经成为一个备受关注的问题。故选C。

The best places for stargazing are open, hilly areas or the coast. ___18___ It is our home galaxy stretching across the night sky and is best seen in summer and fall evening skies. If the full moon is up, it will be hard to see. Try going for a night hike instead! Let your eyes adjust to the moonlight and keep your flashlight turned off.
___19___ That is camping in a national park under a star-filled sky. Many national parks offer various night sky programs, from telescope astronomy events to full moon walks with rangers. Besides, national parks are also great places to know about the animals that are awake at night and asleep during the day. Sit quietly and listen for these creatures.
When you head out at night, always go with an adult. Dress warmly and take a blanket or a chair to sit on, plus a hot drink to warm you up. You might want to take a camera with you as well, so you can take a photo if you see something amazing in the sky. A whole new world comes alive at night and is waiting to be explored. ___20___

47. 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。
My best friend Carla Hernandez called me on Thursday afternoon. “Daniel, meet me in the park near the playground in five minutes. I have a great idea!” This worried me because Carla’s great ideas almost always meant big trouble for me!
I dashed outside and jogged to the park. When I saw Carla, my heart sank because her large dog Perro was with her. I liked everything about Carla except Perro. I had never had a pet in my house, and I felt uncomfortable and nervous around animals. But I was embarrassed to say I was afraid of Carla’s dog.
Upon my arrival, Carla smiled in a joyful voice. “Isn’t this the perfect location for a pet show?” I was surprised at her words. Carla explained to me that all the kids in the neighborhood could show off their pets’ talents and demonstrated the things they did well. Besides, there were plenty of comfortable benches for our parents and friends to sit on as audience. Carla added that I could be the announcer since I didn’t have a pet for the show. What she said directly affected my mood because crowds always made me nervous and unsure. Looking into her eyes, I apologized, “I’m sorry, but that’s impossible! Besides, I don’t like animals, remember?”
“That’s nonsense,” said Carla. “There’s nothing to be concerned about because you’ll be great! ”Just at that time, Perro leaped up, slobbered all over me, and almost knocked me down.“ Yuck. Down, Perro! Stay! ”I shouted. Perro sat as still as a statue.“ Wow, you’re good at that, ”Carla raised her voice excitedly. "Now let’s get started because we have a lot to do.”
With her encouragement, I decided to have a try. After going back home, I couldn’t wait to practise announcing each pet’s act. By Saturday morning I had practiced hundreds of times. However, my stomach was doing flip flops by the time the audience arrived at the park. The size of the crowd made me feel even more anxious.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When the show began, I took a deep breath and announced the first pet.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Then it was Carla and Perro’s turn.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When the show began, I took a deep breath and announced the first pet. It was a bird named Butter whose talent was walking back and forth on a wire. When Butter finished, everyone clapped and cheered. So far, everything was perfect. I was beginning to feel calmer and more relaxed. I realized that being an announcer was not so bad after all.
Then it was Carla and Perro’s turn. Carla asked Perro to sit, but Perro didn’t sit. Carla was at a loss what to do next. Perro was too interested in watching so many pet friends at the show. Suddenly, Perro broke free from the rope, leaped quickly and knocked over the bird cage. “Sit!” I shouted at Perro. “Stay!” I cried. Suddenly, everyone stopped and stared at me. Hearing my instructions, Perro sat immediately and looked at me. “Wow, amazing!”said Carla. He smiled at me and gave me a thumb-up. I felt so happy and proud.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的朋友Carla想举办宠物展，邀请作者去当播音员。作者开始很犹豫，但是朋友鼓励作者，于是作者努力练习。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“演出开始时，我深吸一口气，宣布了第一只宠物的名字。”可知，第一段可描写作者当播音员的过程以及作者的心里。
②由第二段首句内容“然后就轮到Carla和Perro了。”可知，第二段可描写了Perro不听Carla的话，导致混乱，作者帮助维持了秩序。
2.续写线索：宣布宠物名字——宠物表演——作者放松——Perro上台——出乱子——作者帮助解决——Carla感谢作者——作者很高兴
