三、阅读单选
Young students are experts in learning new things online.
According to our national survey, as many as 88. 9 percent of young people often use the Internet to study. They see the Internet as a sea of knowledge. How are today’s teenagers making good use of online resources(资源)? Here’s the report.
Zhang Enqi, a 14-year-old from Tianjin
I love using Duolingo. It is an App where users can learn foreign languages in a fun way. The teachers are cute cartoon characters, which makes the learning process interesting. There are also ranking lists that encourage me to learn and compete with friends, just like playing a game. Now I’m using it to learn Spanish.
Li Shuhe, a 14-year-old from Shanxi
I often use wikiHow. There are over 160, 000 articles that teach you how to solve all kinds of problems, from solving a Rubik’s Cube to fixing a toilet. It even teaches you how to have fun by yourself, which I find quite creative.
Zhou Cai, a 15-year-old from Shandong
Though Douyin is often seen as a time waster, the short video App helps me a lot. I’ve been following a Douyin account, which summarizes all the important points of our biology lessons. I watched livestreams(直播) of classes and before exams I spent some time reviewing the notes. I got the best grade in my class in the recent biology exam!

Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?
It is because there is something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat delicious food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.
Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?
When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post (发布). This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations (期待) are met, dopamine is given out.
And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.
Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid using them too much.
As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it, said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student. You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.
24．According to the article, what are students like when they study?
A．They get very excited. B．They feel time pass more slowly.
C．They are getting happier. D．Their brains give out more dopamine.
25．What is paragraph 4 about?
A．It introduces a way to get more messages from our friends.
B．It gives an example of spending time chatting happily on social media (传媒).
C．It describes how scientists discover the way dopamine works.
D．It explains why playing on smartphones causes more dopamine.
26．Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting?
A．Setting time limits on everything you do.
B．Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life.
C．Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life.
D．Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others.

The war between Russia and Ukraine (乌克兰) itself may be a questionable topic, yet it is the people who have the hardest time. More than 4 million Ukrainians had escaped from their homeland one month after it began. It was the biggest migration (移民) move since World War II.
I wanted to help by being a volunteer. However, it was difficult because I don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian (乌克兰语). Luckily, after searching on the Internet, I was able to sign up (签约) to volunteer in a modern gallery (画廊) called Svetova, which is owned by an overseas Chinese and it had over 40 volunteers to help the Ukrainian refugees (难民). During a two-week intensive (集中的) aid program (援助计划), the gallery offered a place to live and food for up to five people for free and also served as a safe and interesting space for children, where English classes, games and other fun activities were organized.
Because my busy school and work, I was only able to volunteer there twice. But besides the owner and his family, I was the first Chinese volunteer. My role was to help the refugees fill out registration (登记) papers. Sometimes it was difficult with the language barrier but there were translators to help.
I was so impressed by one Ukrainian mother and her two kids, who still had such kind smiles and bright eyes after going through all the awful things they must have experienced. Some other people may not be able to easily understand their feelings, but I really valued this chance to be with those people in need, doing what I could. Because we are all humans, we should come together in difficult times.
27．What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A．The war between Russia and Ukraine lasted one month.
B．People in Ukraine have the hardest time in the war.
C．4 million Russians left their homeland.
D．The war is worse than World War II.
28．Why was it difficult for the writer to be a volunteer?
A．Because the writer’s parents didn’t support the idea.
B．Because the writer didn’t know what to prepare.
C．Because the writer speaks neither Russian nor Ukrainian.
D．Because there was a problem with the writer’s Internet connection.
29．What might the underlined word “barrier” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．skill B．support C．problem D．experience
30．Why did the writer consider it a valuable experience to be such a volunteer?
A．Because it helped him/her get into a good college.
B．Because he/she experienced some awful things.
C．Because it helped him/her to understand the feelings of refugees (难民).
D．Because he/she could help others in need.

49． performances are paid attention
to
【详解】performance“表演”，应用其复数形式；pay attention to“关注”，根据“by many Chinese”可知，此处是被动语态，陈述事实用一般现在时，所以要用一般现在时被动语态，主语是复数形式，助动词用are，故填performances；are；paid；attention；to。
50． look encouranging to achieve dreams through
【详解】look up to“尊敬，敬仰”，第一空应填动词原形，encourage“鼓励”，is后接现在分词与其构成现在进行时结构，achieve one’s dream“实现某人的梦想”，根据their可知，dream用复数形式，through“通过”，故填look；encouranging；to；achieve；dreams；through。
