B WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seoul, she worried about finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop. The 23-year-old started a farm last year. Her first harvest was an unexpected success. Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon, or returning to rural life. The term crops up during periods of economic hardship. This time, in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before. The government promotes the idea as a solution to the problem of South Koreans migrating to Seoul, aiming to regenerate struggling rural regions. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future. The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside, up 15% from 2015 and almost half (a record high) younger than 40. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer's Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea's largest search engine. The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor or select the best crops. It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk. The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms Kim says her neighbours have a bad temper. “The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice, or say that I will never be able to grow anything, ” she says. Her black beans beg to differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good. 24. Why does the writer tell Ms Kim's story? A. To start an argument. B. To introduce a trend. C. To present a challenge. D. To make a comparison. 25. What does the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A new identity. B. A helping hand. C. A touching moment. D. A different idea. 26. What is properly the biggest challenge for the young farmers? A. Learning farming skills. B. Facing criticism online. C. Handling invisible overwork. D. Adapting to local community. 27. What can we infer from the text about kwichon? A. It generates huge profits. B. It reconnects local people. C. It helps to revive rural areas. D. It deserves more financial support. C For more than 60 years bringing the cost of food down had been one of the greatest challenge of the 21 century. That cost, however, is not in immediate cash, for most food is now far cheaper in relative terms than in 1960. The cost is in the unintended damage of the very methods of food production that have made the food cheaper: in the pollution of water, the weakness of soil, the destruction of wildlife, the harm to animal welfare and the threat to human health caused by modern industrial agriculture. First mechanisation, then mass use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and now genetic engineering --modern industrial farming has seemed unstoppable, as the yields of produce have soared. But it comes with extensive loss of wildlife and habitat, soil degradation and fertilizer run-off. Put it together and it's like a battleground, but consumers rarely make the connection at the dinner table. The problems are called "externalities" by economists because they're not part of the main transaction, like growing and selling wheat. These costs aren't directly paid by the producers or consumers. But the costs to society can amount to shocking sums. According to a research by Professor Jules Pretty at the University of Essex, repairing the damage caused by intensive farming in one particular year costs ?2, 343m in the UK alone, almost as much as the total UK and EU spend on British farming in that year. Can the true cost of food be brought down? In some countries, moving away from industrial agriculture to address hunger is difficult. However, in developed countries, it's more possible. Governments should support sustainable farming that benefits the environment, economy, health, and animal welfare. Instead of immediately switching to organic farming, Professor Pretty suggests adopting a 'Greener Food Standard' which would push the market towards more sustainable environmental practices than the current norm, while not requiring the full commitment to organic production. This standard would guide farmers on better practices in farming, promoting a shift towards a more sustainable agricultural system for both producers and consumers. 28. What is the cost associated with food production? A. Immediate cash loss. B. Increased agriculture yields. C. Promotion of organic farming. D. Impairment to human welfare. 29. Why consumers cannot connect food at table with the external costs? A. The costs are included in the price. B. The costs lie in food growing and selling. C. The costs aren't directly visible to people. D. People aren't affected by modern farming. 30. What may cut the cost of food based on the text? A. Giving up clean-up efforts. B. Overlooking global hunger. C. Making flexible farming policies. D. Adopting full organic approaches. 31. What's the author's attitude towards modern industrial agriculture? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Mindless. D Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere. The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor, to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance. This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles, says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. “Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don't work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather." 32. What may be a problem for most driverless cars? A. They fail in test-driving. B. Their maps are out-dated. C. They run in limited areas. D. Their guides are unreliable. 33. How does the MIT navigation system work? A. By detecting road conditions. B. By including accurate maps. C. By removing in-road obstacles. D. By featuring a smart phone app. 34. What is Para. 4 mainly about concerning the system? A. Its further research areas. B. Its testing results. C. Its potential in bad weather. D. Its reliance on laser sensors. 35. What could be the best title for the text? A. Autonomous Cars Beat Human Drivers B. Self-driving Cars Take over Remote Areas C. New Mapping Tech Empowers Driverless Cars D. Smart Navigation Improves Mapping Accuracy 第二节（共5小题，每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Submitting a Good Letter of Recommendation If you consider applying for any colleges abroad, one of the most important parts is the recommendation letter. Its purpose is to give universities a complete picture of you. 36 But a credible reference saying you've continuously worked hard on a project can be the difference between getting accepted or rejected. Choose the right referee（推荐人） Universities want to know how well you work under pressure and how you react to criticism, basically you characteristics, abilities and mentality. A good referee should have a solid professional relationship with you and be able to communicate your academic and personal strengths. 37 Most universities ask for two recommendation letters. They are regularly split between a school professor and an extracurricular source. Undoubtedly, it's good to show your skills in the subject you want to study. 38 Time Professionals can sometimes find it hard to make time for writing recommendations. 39 So give them plenty of time and send them a link of your university's recommendation letter guidance page, if possible. Clear goals Don't be afraid to ask your referees to include certain qualities or examples you want to highlight. You should inform at least one of your referees about your career goals, grades and recent projects. They may not be referenced. But giving referees additional evidence to back up their points can make the letter more convincing. 40 It's where you can find what a university lays stress on, as well as some important information such as deadlines and so on. A. Make sure you cite your referees' quotes. B. You can write that you're hard-working yourself. C. They can be quite occupied during application season. D. The longer you letter is, the better it may be. E. Don't forget to check each university's guidance on reference letters. F. Examples of how you have demonstrated them are needed to add more credibility. G. But other abilities that may not be apparent in the classroom can be equally valuable. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项。 Overcoming my initial struggles in the Netherlands to start my PhD has been like riding a bike.

Another ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi used the comparison of a boat and water 64 (show) the significance of the people in society, saying that “water can carry a boat but can also overturn it”. Water, 65 (be) the most present element in daily life, is a root metaphor in Chinese culture that flows through Chinese civilization. 第四部分 课文知识（共两节，满分25分） I. 语境填空（根据首字母或者所给词的恰当形式填空；每题1分，共15分） 66.

B Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Most villagers could not read or write, and Jo was an exception. One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her adventures in the forest, she came across an abandoned cottage. Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure. She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage. In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone. 24. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “got the best of” in paragraph 2? A. Discouraged. B. Beat. C. Cheated. D. Scared. 25. Why did the villagers laugh when Jo told them her discovery? A. They took her words seriously. B. They’ve already known it. C. They thought it was something meaningless. D. It was all Jo’s imagination. 26. Which of the following best describe Jo? A. Dedicated and honest. B. Devoted but confusing. C. Adventurous but careless. D. Determined and influential. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Jo. B. Jo’s Journey: from Adventure to Education. C. The Power of Stories D. A Role Model in the Field of Education C Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create. Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it? Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn’t just reading or watching something play out;they’re experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR. The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail. Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn’t think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run. “I think it’s very promising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories. 28. Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism? A. Because it is an exclusively new tool. B. Because it is very powerful and popular. C. Because people can experience the story in person. D. Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking. 29. According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing? A. How powerful and interesting it can be. B. Whether people will have easy access to it. C. Whether qualified VR headsets can be built. D. What new ways people will find to deliver content. 30. What’s Hallaq’s attitude towards the future of VR technology? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Concerned. 31. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The wide popularity of virtual reality B. The future development of virtual reality C. Challenges and hurdles of virtual reality D. Virtual reality is the future of storytelling D “Let’s go to grandpa’s room and see if it still smells funny,” said Tommy. “Last time it smelled like cheese…” replied Lil. Sure, these lines from “Rugrats”, a cartoon series that aired in the 1990s, were meant to be funny. But they also may have a basis in real life, relating to the widely held view that the elderly send out a particular and easily recognizable body odor (气味). The smell has been described as unpleasant, or simply “old person”. In one study, Japanese researchers traced the odor to a chemical compound (化合物) called 2-nonenal. The compound is a byproduct of other chemical breakdowns and sends out a “greasy” or “grassy” odor as the molecules (分子) exit the skin and are released into the air. Researchers discovered that 2-nonenal was the only odor compound whose presence became stronger with age. In the study, in which 22 people aged between 26 and 75 were asked to wear odor-collecting shirts to bed, researchers analyzed molecules that stuck to the cloth. The amount of 2-nonenal was three times as much in the oldest subjects as it was in the middle-aged group. The youngest members of the study produced the least amount of 2-nonenal. Researchers assume the increase in 2-nonenal may have a lot to do with the breakdown of omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids (不饱和脂肪酸), because these molecules were also present in the shirts worn by the study’s oldest subjects. Although the biological purpose behind “old person” smell is still unclear, some researchers believe it’s connected to a built-in age-detecting feature possessed by humans and animals. For instance, some animals can distinguish between older and younger animals by smell alone, and some animals are driven to mate with older animals. It’s possible that the capability to tell the smell of older animals meant that long-term survivors were revealed and these survivors had a genetic (基因的) advantage that boosted their chances of survival. In truth, the scent called “old person” smell could be an advertisement for better genetic quality. It gives a whole new meaning to the term “silver fox”. 32. What is the function of paragraph 1 and paragraph2? A. To entertain readers. B. To describe a funny scene. C. To recommend a TV series. D. To introduce the topic. 33. What was the finding of the Japanese researchers in the study? A. 2-nonenal is on the rise with age. B. Omega-7 gives out a “greasy” or “grassy” odor. C. The youngest subjects produce the most amount of 2-nonenal. D. The rise in 2-nonenal may have nothing to do with the breakdown of omega-7. 34. What is the new meaning given to the term “silver fox”? A. Smelly and old. B. Greasy and grassy. C. Better and advantageous. D. Gentle and elegant. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To encourage us to care for the elderly. B. To explain the causes of old people’s body odor. C. To prove the advantages of “old person” smell. D. To clarify the biological purpose behind “old person” smell. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another. Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. 36 . We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. 37 . 38 . After we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture. The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. 39 . Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. 40 . You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. A. You can cope with most problems that occur. B. This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. C. It is extremely difficult to get through the first stage of culture. D. You may feel sad, anxious, frustrated, and want to go home. E. Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult. F. This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure. G. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Several weeks ago I got a call from a good friend whose husband had just been diagnosed with cancer. “Do we tell the kids?” she asked. “ 41 .” I answered “The boys deserve to know the truth, however 42 it is,” I continued.

My topic for my speech is Spring Festival and I. Among many traditional Chinese festivals, my favorite is the Spring Festival. When I was little, I always hoped that the Spring Festival would come earlier every day because on this day, our family would be reunited. My parents worked in another province, and I rarely saw them in a year. But my parents would definitely come back for the Spring Festival. We’d sit together to prepare New Year’s dinner, such as making dumplings. After dinner, we’d watch the Spring Festival Gala happily. This festive atmosphere has always stayed in my heart. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival of the Chinese nation and one of the four major traditional festivals in China. It carries a rich cultural heritage of China. I love Spring Festival. Thank you! 77. 第二节 读后续写（满分15分） A possible version: Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.

II．阅读理解（2.5×20＝50） A More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him -so he got on. That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets and then in an orphanage. There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible. Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, "On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station"-and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain"-and there it was. Everything just started to match. When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me," he thought- and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like. In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion (核聚变). I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.” 21. Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago? A. He was adopted by an Australian family. B. He got lost while playing in the street. C. He was taken away by a foreigner. D. He got on a train by mistake. 22. How did Brierley find his hometown? A. By travelling all around India. B. By studying digital maps. C. By analyzing old pictures. D. By spreading his story via his book. 23. What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview? A. His love for his mother. B. His memory of his hometown. C. His long way back home. D. His reunion with his mother. B The latest data shows the population of wild Asin elephants in southwest China's Yunnan Province has increased from around 150 to more than 300 from the 198os to the end of 2021, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. With the growth in the elephant population, conflicts between humans and elephants have become frequent. In order to fundamentally and peacefully solve the issue and protect the elephant's habitat at the same time, construction of the Asian elephant National Park is picking up speed. Experts suggest that national parks are not intended to be entirely free of people. Instead, they should offer a method for coexistence. Asian elephants play an important role as engineers of the rainforest, said the expert. Their migration (迁徙) can speed up the replacement of forest ecosystems along the way. Elephant waste remains not only food for insects, but also attracts insectivorous birds, allowing plant seeds to spread. Therefore, protecting the elephants and their habitats guarantees the shelter to other wildlife in forest ecosystems. To cope with human-elephant conflicts, Yunnan took the lead in introducing a commercial insurance model into its compensation (补偿) system: local residents will be paid with the amount of money for the crops destroyed by the elephants by the insurance company. In the past 10 years, Yunnan has paid a total of 173 million yuan for losses caused by Asian elephants. "The standard of compensation is constantly being adjusted, and the amount of insurance coverage for compensation is also increasing," said Yang Hua from the Forestry and Grass Bureau of Yunnan Province. “At present, the insured amount in Pu'er City and Xishuangbanna Prefecture alone has already gone beyond 50 million.” 24. What do we know about the Asian elephant park? A. It offers elephants a place without humans. B. It aims at the human-elephant harmony. C. It speeds up the protection of elephants. D. It keeps the growth of elephants in control. 25. What does the underlined word “insectivorous" mean in paragraph 3? A. Fond of plants. B. Driving away insects. C. Good at collection. D. Feeding on insects. 26. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about? A. The total money spent on compensation. B. One way of addressing the problem concerned. C. The influence of a commercial insurance model. D. The damage to crops caused by the elephants. 27. What might be the best title? A. Asian elephants, engineers of the rainforest B.

It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site. I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid sigs of Liverpool's history. As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain's No. 1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder. As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool's famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself. Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore. 28. Which part of Liverpool would deeply impress first-time visitors? A. Its charming river banks. B. Its famous museums. C. Its attractive buildings. D. Its wonderful palaces. 29. How is the third paragraph developed? A. By providing different examples. B. By following the order of space. C. By making comparisons. D. By stressing its importance. 30. What's the author's purpose in mentioning the Philharmonic pub? A. To indicate the end of his trip. B. To expect perfect service. C. To show more attraction. D. To recommend a break from the trip. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool. B. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool. C. The exciting change of the author's hometown. D. The promising tourism in the author's hometown. D Digital mindfulness is the application of mindfulness practices in your digital life. According to Jon Kabat-Zinn, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Medicine School, mindfulness is “a means of paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally”. Here two main key points are stressed when it comes to mindfulness as a practice in your digital life. The first point is that you must learn to do things on purpose. For example, you use your phone as a habitual escape from boredom or stress, which is thought by many as a quick solution to all those negative feelings. But what if you get only negative responses from your phone-the news or posts are negative? Instead of finding peace, you find more boredom and more stress. The solution that mindfulness provides is purposeful and intentional choice. Therefore, you are empowered to choose how to respond to the stimulus (刺激) behind such feelings as boredom， loneliness， and stress and not just treat the symptoms (症状). The other key is going through the experience non-judgmentally. When you feel sad or angry because of a post on social media, all you ever do is to go through the experience and let it flow. At its heart, mindfulness involves the acceptance of your memories, feelings, and thoughts minus any judgment on yourself or others because of those things. These feelings, memories, and experiences come and go. After they have passed, you are still you and in control. You will become more aware of your inner world. It's this internal monologue (独白) that pushes you to grab your digital technology (phone, Alexa speaker, TV, etc.). Digital mindfulness is not about avoiding the negative things in life. Through mindfulness practice, you regain the power to learn from these experiences and healthily deal with the negative. Mindfulness will also teach you to be aware of all your emotions, so you learn to deal with the things that you used to avoid. Finally, digital mindfulness brings you peace of mind in an ever-changing and increasingly connected world. Now, I would rather prefer to think of it as one of many tools that we can use in our daily life. 32. What does the author suggest readers do when they feel stressed in their digital life? A. Deal with the root cause of the problem. B. Use the phone as a habitual escape. C. Keep away from the negative responses. D. Make a more interesting choice. 33. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Negative feelings should be avoided or controlled. B. Mindfulness involves both acceptance and judgment. C. Mindfulness helps us fully experience life as it happens. D. Digital technology is the key to understanding our inner world. 34. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How Can You Avoid Negative Feelings? B. What is Digital Mindfulness aimed at? C. Why Do We Practise Digital Mindfulness? D. How Can Digital Mindfulness Help You? 35. What will probably be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Ways of practising mindfulness in the digital age. B. Applications of mindfulness in communication. C. Development of mindfulness in medical field. D. Benefits of practising digital mindfulness in daily life. 第二节（2.5×5＝12. 5） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While technology addicts teens to their devices, they are not helpless against the draw of it. Here are five ways educators can support their students' digital well-being. Explore design tricks companies use. The technology we use daily is designed to catch and hold our attention. Companies know what keeps our eyes on the screen. To help, teachers can unpack design tricks and explain how companies employ features like auto-play to get users to stay on their apps. 36 Talk about how technology can increase feelings of anxiety. The decline in youth mental health is linked to an increase in social media use. 37 We can help our students by allowing them to consider the benefits of technology and then to think about changing the habits that aren't serving their well-being. 38 Social media can bring the feeling: "All my friends have better lives than me.” Plus, design features like “read receipts" can lead to teens knowing their messages have been seen and stressing about why friends haven't yet replied. These are classic examples of thinking traps. Identifying them can help teens remove some negative thoughts. Uncover the ways that AI can play a role in misinformation. AI is rapidly changing the world. Recommendation algorithms (算法), which determine what we do and do not see in our search results, can have very real results. 39 By understanding how these technologies work, students can start to enjoy more benefits of technology. Encourage families to have meaningful conversations with their child. Take the time to share with families the topics and resources you're teaching in class. 40 Knowing we're all in the same boat is important. A. This doesn't indicate all technology is bad. B. Knowing these allows students to regain their attention. C. Connect them with their inner world. D. Make them aware of thinking traps. E. Social media is ruining our life. F.
