On our second day in Barcelona, Spain, my classmates and I headed out to see the sights.
We hadn’t had a chance to stop by any banks to take out cash, but we had our bank cards,
which, to our American way of thinking, would naturally be accepted anywhere. Our teacher
led us to La Sagrada Familia, a church which has been under construction for over 100 years.
She let each of us decide whether we wanted to pay for entrance to the church or return
to the hotel after a long day. Many headed for the subway and returned to the hotel. Eager to
explore more, two of my friends and I wandered about the plaza (露天广场), but soon the
other two decided they wanted to return to the hotel also. I was confident in my abilities and
had a subway ticket, so I felt comfortable without them; I got in line to enter the church.
When I reached the window, they asked for the 10-euro admission price. I confidently
handed over my bank card, which they denied, asking for cash only. I was shocked. I only had
three euros on hand, and my entire group had left. I was leaving the next day to fly to Madrid,
and I wasn’t going to get this opportunity again.
Just then, I overheard English being spoken around me. It took about ten minutes to
collect my courage to approach the speakers and explained my dilemma: American student,
no cash, priceless landmark, no other opportunity to see it. Fortunately, one smiling woman
handed me a 20-euro bill. “Go buy me a bottle of wine, and you can keep the change,” she
offered. I did so without delay, grateful that I wouldn’t miss this fantastic opportunity.
Perhaps seven euros didn’t mean a lot to her, but it meant a lot to me, and she offered it
in such a friendly way that I didn’t feel like a beggar. That simple act of kindness remains in
my memory as one of the nicest things a stranger has ever done for me.

试卷第2页,共10页
A.Thoughtful. B.Effortless. C.Selfless. D.Powerful.
7.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To suggest a travel destination.
C.To show the cultural differences.
Earlier this month, TikTok announced that it will be introducing screen time limits for
the accounts of users aged under 18. Children under 13 will require a parent or guardian to
type in a password to continue scrolling (滚屏) through their feed, and those aged 13-17 will
be asked to set their own passwords when the viewing time goes beyond the limit.
Studies suggest that 30 minutes may be the sweet spot for social media use, where users
are able to stay connected with friends and family and view entertainment. However, many
other studies show that overly-heavy social media use can lead to a lot of problems, such as
physical issues and depression.
By suggesting 100 minutes as a hard line where a password is required to be created by
the user, TikTok is gradually making the standards clear as to what may be regarded as
problematic social media habit in young people. Although these passwords for older
teenagers can obviously be bypassed, they are a step in the right direction in encouraging
children to use social media responsibly.
Also, parents who own their own TikTok accounts will be able to link with their
children’s accounts, gaining additional, such as muting notifications (消息免打扰) and
customizing time limits for different days in the week.
Algorithms (算法) that could tell parents if the child has been viewing dangerous
material could soon be put into use. However, the difficulty in this is the amount of content
available on the internet.
Ultimately, apps such as TikTok and Instagram will need to continue introducing more
measures to improve online safety for children.
Lawmakers around the world are paying close attention to the effect social media has on
the young, meaning that the development of new tools to improve its use will no doubt take
place soon if big tech wishes to avoid additional legal issues.
8.Why did TikTok introduce screen time limits for teenagers?
A.To protect their privacy.
B.To develop their self-control.
试卷第3页,共10页
B.To share a heart-warming story.
D.To give advice on travelling abroad.
C.To improve family relationship.
D.To prevent overuse of social media.
9.What’s the author’s attitude towards TikTok’s new policy?
A.Favourable. B.Objective. C.Concerned. D.Disapproving.
10.What can parents do to help children use social media responsibly?
A.Type in a password to stop the use.
B.Send a link to the children’s account.
C.Set time limits through their own account.
D.Use algorithms to remove dangerous content.
11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning social media?
A.Its effects on the young.
C.Its application to lawmaking.
It’s hard to predict which songs will become hits. It’s even more difficult to predict
which artists topping today’s charts will go on to record more hits and who will see their fame
end.
To figure out if there’s some kind of principle that can help explain who becomes a flash
in the pan and who has a lasting music career, Justin Berg, a social scientist who researches
creativity at Stanford University’s business school, studied the songs from pop music charts.
He used a database of about 3 million songs from 1959-2010 released by record labels that
had produced at least one hit in the United States over that time. Of those songs, nearly
25,000 landed on the weekly Billboard Hot 100. That provided Berg with a list of nearly
4,900 artists who had one or more songs that made the list, his yardstick (标准) for defining a
hit.
Hits are rare, the data show. Of the 69,000 artists in the original database, 93 percent
never had a hit, 3 percent had one and 1 percent had two hits. The success rate for additional
hits drops from there.
Artists with more variety in their music type have a better chance to land repeat hits. But
there’s a dilemma for artists who want to be popular over the long term. Variety isn’t what
helps artists land that first hit, Berg reports. It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.
According to Berg’s study, musical artists who produced music like other already
existing music were about twice as likely to have their first hit. But those who created a more

B.Legal pressure on its improvement.
D.Solutions to its technological issues.
creative and varied music type before fame hit were more likely to make a series of hits.
However, Berg doesn’t want his research to diminish (贬低) the accomplishments of
one-hit wonders. “A lot of them in their time were quite famous and successful,” he says.
“You go out and try to make a song that catchy. It’s not an easy challenge.”
12.What does the underlined phrase “a flash in the pan” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.A rising star.
C.An unpopular topic.
13.What can we learn from the study?
A.It’s common for artists to have more than one hit.
B.Creative artists are more likely to make their first hit.
C.People prefer the existing music type to the creative one.
D.Both similarity and variety are important to artists’ success.
14.What does Justin Berg say about one-hit wonders?
A.Their success cannot be repeated.
B.Their life wasn’t easy in their time.
C.Their success deserves recognition.
D.They were good at making catchy songs.
15.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.What will hits be like in the future?
B.How do artists make a series of hits?
C.What does it take to be a successful artist?
D.Why is it hard to have a lasting music career?
B.A short-lived success.
D.A quick-minded talent.
二、七选五
Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize(抓住) those moments; other times, we don’t. 16 And what drives some people to take
the moral high ground?
Jessie Sun interviewed 952 people about the motivations(动机) for moral behavior and
the changes they wished to make in their lives in order to become more morally good.
When we think about morals, we often think about making “personal sacrifices(牺牲)”
for the greater good. In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they
试卷第5页,共10页
were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves. 17 And fewer
participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.
Moreover, many people believe that acting more morally—for example, being more
thoughtful, more open-minded—would increase their own well-being. The more they
believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they
reported being encouraged to make that change. 18 That was the most surprising
finding in the study.
19 Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves
and others if they were honest. You can imagine that some people regularly tell white lies to
save other people’s feelings, and they believe it would be hurtful if they were honest.
Researchers also asked people about the things they’d like to improve about themselves.
If they’re extremely shy, they usually want to become more comfortable in social situations.
But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of
their lives on purpose. 20
A.How can we become more moral?
B.So, why do we make these choices?
C.Being moral just isn’t what most people consider first.
D.Being moral means different things to different people.
E.But people see some disadvantages of being moral, too.
F.In short, many people want to become more moral for their own benefits.
G.Sixteen percent said that they most wanted to become more moral for their family.

六、读后续写
47.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jeremy was with his father in South Africa, which was far from his hometown Wales. He
rarely spent time with his father, a famous wildlife photographer. So far, he wasn’t sure he
liked following his dad around. The work seemed mostly hot and boring.
“Ready?” Dad asked. Jeremy nodded and they climbed into the old truck. As the truck
moved noisily across the rough dirt, Dad chatted with the local guide Ben. And Jeremy
watched for animals.
Suddenly, there came a big crash from the car. Jeremy was shocked to find that the door
had fallen off! “It might be a blessing (幸事) in disguise! Now we can see better,” Dad said.
Ben threw the door into the back of the truck.
They stopped near a river. Ben said he was friends with the elephants that sometimes
gathered here. Maybe they’d see some. Before long, Jeremy saw a small group of elephants in
the distance, moving slowly through the grassland towards the water. Dad leaped out of the
truck and focused his camera on the largest elephant, whose two long teeth shone in the sun.
Jeremy spotted a very young baby elephant walking between two adults. It was tiny, by
elephant standards. The two adult elephants kept stopping to wait for their baby.
Jeremy watched as the group neared the river. They trumpeted loudly and flapped their
large ears to cool themselves down. Then several larger elephants jumped in the water up to
their ears. However, Jeremy lost sight of the baby. Where was it? Then he saw. It was in water
up to its eyes, holding its trunk (象鼻) up above the water. Jeremy hoped it could breathe
through its trunk, because its mouth was underwater.
Other elephants were using their trunks to spray (喷洒) themselves with the cool water,
splashing and playing in the water. It was an elephant party. But the baby elephant was in
trouble. “Look!” screamed Jeremy. The bank was too steep (陡峭的) for the baby. It couldn’t
climb out of the water. Other elephants tried pushing it, without success. The mother was
anxious.
注意:
1.
续写词数应为100左右;
2.
续写部分为一段,段首句已写好。
Suddenly, Jeremy got an idea and rushed to the back of the truck.
