Last mnth，I pened my banking app，I read thrugh the statement，and I stpped cld：﹩9.99 fr AppleTV+，﹩12.99 fr a fitness app I quit using mnths ag，﹩14.99 fr extra clud suddenly realized hw mdern cnsumer life is increasingly dminated by"backgrund spending".
This spending mdel turns us int passive cnsumers.We easily frget subscriptins we rarely use，like paying fr TV apps lng after watching just ne shw.Cmpanies prey n this cnsumer inattentin.It's estimated that ur frgtten cancellatins can bst a business' prfit by up t 200%.Such an envirnment encurages price rise，as service prviders knw custmers are ften t busy r lazy t cancel unused services.
The rapid grwth f subscriptin services is wrrying.A 2025 survey f 2，500 cnsumers fund the average persn spends ﹩273 mnthly n subscriptins，a 15% increase frm 2020.Yet nt a single respndent knew their exact spending.Businesses find subscriptins highly attractive，and ffer the prmise f"sell nce，earn frever"t encurage lng-term custmer lyalty.While these services have been arund fr decades，their access t cnsumers has grwn significantly in recent years，fueled by the ppularity f smartphnes and the increasing hme delivery.
Despite the prmised ease f these subscriptins，dissatisfactin is grwing.A recent study fund 40% f cnsumers believe they have t many subscriptins，and nearly half feel they verpay fr streaming vide，with a third actively planning t cut the expense.Hwever，peple still vastly underestimate their spending.Last year，a cnsumer research fund the actual average mnthly spend was ﹩219，which was ver 2.5 times higher than 86 that peple guessed.
T help cnsumers regain cntrl，the US Federal Trade Cmmissin has prpsed a"click t cancel"plicy.This wuld legally require cmpanies t make ending a subscriptin as easy as starting ne n the smartphne—n mre frcing members t cancel in persn.Additinally，under this extra cnsumer prtectin，businesses wuld need t remind subscribers annually abut their membership befre these are autmatically renewed.
4.Why des the authr mentin his banking statement？______
A. T stress bill- checking necessity.
B. T present a cnsumptin phenmenn.
C. T shw the ppularity f nline services.
D. T cmplain abut unnecessary expenses.

Critics have praised this bk as a wnderful chice fr yung art enthusiasts and uninterested readers alike.Publishers Weekly calls it a"brilliant，accessible intrductin t art histry"that uses DK's famus visual style t make art's human side unfrgettable.The Schl Library Jurnal describes it as"clrful，cnversatinal，and packed with persnality，"nting hw it weaves artists' struggles int a stry that feels like"peeking int their sketchbks."

Chinese researchers have develped a new apprach t significantly enhance the perfrmance f lithium-sulfur batteries（锂硫电池），a breakthrugh that culd ne day enable drnes（无人机） t fly much farther n a single charge.The study，recently published in the jurnal Nature，pens a new path tward lnger-lasting，mre pwerful batteries fr lw-altitude aviatin（飞行） and beynd.
This advancement directly addresses the drawbacks f cnventinal batteries.Mst drnes currently rely n lithium-in batteries，which are appraching their energy density limits.Their energy density—the amunt f pwer stred per unit weight—typically stays belw 300 watt-hurs per kilgram，resulting in"range anxiety"that limits flight time.
Lithium-sulfur batteries are cnsidered a prmising alternative due t their high theretical energy density，as well as the abundance and lw cst f sulfur.Hwever，they have lng faced a majr practical challenge：during charge and discharge，sulfur underges cmplex chemical reactins that prduce large amunts f sluble （可溶的） byprducts.These byprducts tend t drift away，slw dwn the reactins，and waste energy.
A team led by Tsinghua Shenzhen Internatinal Graduate Schl （Tsinghua SIGS） has prpsed a new slutin by intrducing a"premediatr"fr sulfur electrchemistry."Think f it as a special additive that sleeps inside the battery until it is needed.When the sulfur reactin starts，the additive wakes up right where the actin is and begins t wrk，"explained Zhu Guangmin，a researcher at Tsinghua SIGS.Once active，this additive attaches t the sluble byprducts and keeps them frm drifting away.It als helps build fast lanes fr the electrical reactins，making the whle prcess much smther and mre efficient，Zhu said.
This breakthrugh matters a lt fr drnes.Higher energy density means lnger flight times，bigger paylads，and mre wrking range.A delivery drne culd fly farther t drp ff packages.A pwer line inspectin drne culd cver mre twers in ne g.A search-and-rescue drne culd stay in the air lnger when every minute cunts.
12.What is the functin f the secnd paragraph？______
A. T cmpare different battery types.
B. T explain the range anxiety f drnes.
C. T intrduce chemical mechanism f batteries.
D. T present the limitatins f traditinal batteries.
13.What prevented lithium-sulfur batteries frm wide use？______
A. They failed t reach the theretical standard.
B. Unstable byprducts affected their perfrmance.
C. The charging prcess created a risk f explsin.
D. The raw materials fr prductin was rarely available.
14.Hw des the"premediatr"wrk？______
A. It uses mre stable materials instead f sulfur.
B. It stays active t speed up chemical reactins.
C. It prevents bad byprducts frm being prduced.
D. It acts when reactins begin and sticks t byprducts.
15.What is a suitable title fr the text？______
A. Great Ptential f Lithium-sulfur Batteries
B. Wide Applicatins f Drnes in Mdern Life
C. China Perfected the Ideal Battery fr Drnes
D. Battery Breakthrugh Extends Drne Flight Range

Birdwatching can be awesme as well as jyful.Research suggests that experiencing awe f nature can be transfrmatinal fr human well-being."Nticing"is an essential aspect f awe. (19) Being in nature and nticing wildlife requires us t put all ur heart int the activity，which in turn imprves mental and physical health.

48. It was a busy afternn in a Lndn restaurant.Sunlight pured in thrugh the windws，casting sft glimmers acrss the white tableclths.Mia，an 11-year-ld student，had just finished her schl's first-aid class and nw sat in a crner，flipping thrugh her ntes frm the lessn.
Nt far away，her mther was talking n the phne while sipping cffee.Laughter and clattering dishes filled the air.All f a sudden，an dd nise brke thrugh the lively atmsphere.Mia lifted her head，filled with curisity.
A lady in a blue dress had been drinking fruit tea.Nw she frze，her eyes wide.She culdn't breathe，and panic flded her face.She held her thrat tightly with bth hands—the exact universal sign f chking in Mia's ntebk.
She tried t nd tward her fruit tea，then attempted t cugh— but n sund escaped.A waiter passing by nticed and leaned in，cnfused."Yu alright？Want sme water？"She shk her head vilently，tapping her chest in shrt bursts.But he just patted her back gently，thinking she'd swallwed wrng—unaware sme hard fd in the fruit tea was blcking her airway.Her face turned red，then purple，and she started t cllapse frward.
Mia's heart raced.This was exactly like her first-aid lessn at schl.Anther waiter hurried ver.The tw std there，ne grabbing a water glass，the ther reaching fr his phne t call an ambulance，bth panicking.
Mia sht t her feet，her chair making a lud nise against the flr."I knw first aid!"she shuted.The waiters spke nervusly，t panicked t hear.She stepped clser，vice cracking with urgency，"I can help—I learned this in schl!"They glanced at her，then turned back t the wman，ignring the 11-year-ld.
The wman slid dwn in her chair，her lips fading t a sickly blue.Mia's eyes fixed n the wman's wrsening cnditin.Every secnd felt like a lifetime—she had t act，and fast.

47.【答案】The Playgrund Is Empty and Screens Are Full As is vividly shwn in the picture，all the children are absrbed in their electrnic devices，even thugh a playgrund with swings and a basketball hp is right behind them.The irnic sign"CAUTION CHILDREN PLAYING"highlights the prblem：they are"playing"with screens instead f enjying real utdr activities.
I feel alarmed t see hw technlgy has taken the place f physical play.As I see，if discnnected frm the real wrld and rbbed f meaningful relatinships with thers，children may suffer frm a lack f exercise，declining eyesight，and pr scial skills.
Therefre，we must take actin t reverse this trend.Only by rediscvering the jy f real-life activities can children grw up in a healthy way，bth physically and emtinally.

With a sudden cugh，the fd was instantly frced ut.It landed n the flr with a small sund，and the wman was finally able t breathe.Her purple face slwly turned pink as she leaned back，tears spilling dwn her cheeks."Thank yu，thank yu s much，"she whispered，reaching ut t squeeze Mia's hand.The nlkers burst int warm applause，and the waiters ndded at Mia—gratitude replacing their earlier panic.Hearing the applause，Mia's mm rushed ver，eyes wide with amazement.She hugged her tightly and said，"I'm s prud f yu."Mia smiled，realizing that learning t help thers wasn't just a class—it was a gift that culd turn fear int hpe，even in the scariest mments.
