应用文范文
Dear David,
I’m thrilled to hear about your upcoming exchange program in China! Regarding your
question about accommodation, I’d recommend a host family for a more immersive experience.
The reasons are as follows.
Firstly, living with a local family allows you to practice Chinese daily and understand cultural
differences firsthand — like traditional festivals or family customs. This will deepen your
connection to the community. Secondly, home stays often provide a supportive environment. Your
host family can offer guidance on navigating life here, from using public transport to finding
hidden-gem eateries. Lastly, sharing meals and conversations with them will make you feel less
homesick. While the international dormitory offers convenience and independence, it might limit
your exposure to authentic Chinese life.
Whatever you decide, I’m here to help you settle in! We’ll explore the city together, and I’ll
introduce you to my favorite spots. Welcome to China — I can’t wait to show you around!
Looking forward to your arrival,
Yours, Li Hua
读后续写范文 Para 1
Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. As she was ready to take me to the
next stop, I erupted, “I wish you wouldn’t do that!” She grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes blazing
with a mix of shock. In a trembling voice, she asked if being her daughter was something I found
embarrassing. Though I knew I should stay silent, I heard myself yelling, “You are using me to
show off! ” She stopped talking, a blend of anger and hurt appearing on her face. Panicked and
outraged, I fled in dead silence, not daring to look back.
Para 2
When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. Her hands
moved swiftly yet quietly. I almost thought she was going to “give me color to see”. However,
suddenly she spoke, “I’m sorry, Pearl. I didn’t mean to use you. I’m just too proud to be your
mama.” Hearing that, I looked up, her wrinkled face telling a long story. Tears blurred my vision
as I stepped forward, wrapping her in an American-style hug. For the first time ever, I felt like a
real champion not only in my own heart but also in my mum’s heart.

录音原文
Text 1
W: Remember children, there will be a fire alarm test at 1:00 p.m., (1) so we need you back
from lunch no later than 12:30.
M: Excuse me, Miss, but we have a test at 1:30. Has this been canceled
Text 2
M: I think we should go round to Paul’s house and keep him company. He can’t be feeling great.
W: I know. He had his heart set on winning that competition. (2) Let’s take a cake to cheer him
up.
Text 3
M: The owner of the house wants to raise our rent from $600 to $630 per month next year. (3)
W: Well, I guess it’s all right. But $650 is our bottom line.
Text 4
W: I thought that Dan was the best candidate that we’ve seen. He had all the skills the role
requires, and I liked him as a person.
M: Yes, I think he’ll fit in really well in the office too. I think we should give him an offer. (4)
Text 5
W: That’s a nice color on you, sir. You should try that on.
M: You think so I can’t decide between the blue one and the green one.
W: Why don’t you go get a dressing room, and I’ll bring you the shirts in different colors (5)
Text 6
W: Hey, do you mind giving me a ride home
M: I don’t mind, but I’m not leaving until 7:00. (7) Can you wait until then
W: Sure, but what are you doing until then
M: I am going to have a meeting for the science club. Do you want to come
W: No. I’m not fond of science.(6) I seldom get good grades in my science courses.
M: Well, maybe the club could help you get more excited about science.
W: I doubt it. I’ll just go to the campus cafeteria and read a novel while you’re there. (7)
M: Why don’t you go to the library instead
W: It closes early on Thursday, but the campus cafeteria is open until 8:00.
Text 7
M: What’s with all the little red things all over your arms, Lauren (8)
W: Oh, I hate them! And they’re not just there. They’re everywhere! Look at my legs. They are
also there. I must be allergic to something.
M: At least you don’t have them on your face.
W: So, what do you think I should do I went to the drugstore, and they gave me some medicine,
but it doesn’t seem to be working.
M: You are allergic to something I have known you for years, and you never said anything to me
about that.
W: Well, but what else could it be I mean, I haven’t eaten anything different lately.
M: Maybe it was something you touched. (9) What did you do this weekend
W: I went for a hike up on Snake Mountain.
M: Snake Mountain No wonder! That place has plants that can cause death and illness growing
everywhere! (9)
W: Oh! Maybe I should go to see a doctor right now. (10)
Text 8 (第 13 题为推断题)
W: I’m so glad we could meet today! It seems like you’ve been so busy lately.
M: Yes, I’m sorry we haven’t been able to take classes recently, but my boss is always asking me

to stay late at the office these days. (11)
W: Oh, it’s all right. I understand. I’ve actually been quite busy with my family.
M: Then it’s lucky we could both make it! So, why did you choose this place
W: I think it’s a great place to practice your Chinese and also get an idea of what you might
experience when you go to China next year. The food is really excellent and most of the
staff are Chinese too. They’ll help you if you have any questions about any dishes. (12)
M: I see. I usually am too embarrassed to ask questions and just order the things I recognize.
W: It’s totally normal to ask questions. You just have to get more comfortable doing it. You can
learn about new foods this way and practice your speaking and listening skills.
Text 9
W: Isn’t it strange that some people are more interested in the arts, while others prefer science
The two don’t seem to mix.
M: What do you mean
W: Well, you are so good at mathematics and physics, but you are not interested in literature or
painting.
M: And you are the opposite
W: Yes, I like to draw and I like to read, (14) but I couldn’t solve a complicated math problem.
M: So you think I’m more clever than you
W: Oh no, I didn’t say that. We’re just different. After all, Shakespeare was a writer and a genius,
but Isaac Newton was a scientist and he was also a genius.
M: But some people can be brilliant at both art and science. (15)
W: Like Leonardo da Vinci, you mean (15)
M: Yes, (15) he was a painter and made statues, but he also invented machines and designed
buildings.
W: One of my friends at school is good at both art and math, but I think being like that is rare.
M: I think I take after Dad and you are more like our mom. But really, I would like to understand
the arts a bit better.
W: Why don’t I teach you something about those subjects, and you can help me with my
math and science (16)
M: It’s a deal. (16)
Text 10 (第 17 题为推断题)
Trying to make new friends can make you frightened sometimes. You’re probably nervous
that you won’t get along with anyone or that you’ll do something embarrassing. Or maybe you
simply don’t know what you should say to someone to break the ice and create a friendlier
atmosphere. But just keep in mind that everyone’s been where you are. No matter if someone’s
shy or outgoing, they’ve been in a situation where they had to talk to someone they didn’t know.
There’s no perfect thing to say, and nobody goes through life without some awkward social
interactions here and there. Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of life, and stepping
outside of our comfort zones is necessary for us to grow up and to improve our relationships
with others. (18) For example, it may be hard for you to share some of your personal problems
with a friend. You might be worried that they’ll feel differently about you if you tell them. But if
your friends see that you want to be open with them, even when it’s hard, they’ll also feel
more comfortable sharing their problems with you, and your friendship will be better. (19)
This goes for new meeting acquaintances too. It’s OK to be a little nervous, because everyone,
including the person you’re talking to, understands that feeling. Just don’t let it stop you
from putting yourself out there and trying to connect with new people. (20)

参考答案与解析
A 篇: 本文是一篇应用文，主要讲述了哈佛大学图书馆全年提供的多样化项目和活动，这些
活动将学者和访客与世界级的资源连接起来。
21. 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 Exploring Library Treasures (Year-Round)部 分 “Whether you’re
researching a thesis, unearthing the secrets within rare manuscripts, or merely longing for a
peaceful study corner, this self-guided tour is your passport to the university’s world-class
collections.(无论你是在撰写论文、探寻稀有手稿中的秘密，还是仅仅渴望一个宁静的学习角
落，这次自助参观之旅都将带你领略这所大学世界级的馆藏)”可知，Exploring Library
Treasures 活动可以让参加者探寻不常见的手稿。故选 B。
22. 细节理解题。根据 Wellness Wednesdays at Cabot (September 5—May 15)部分“Colorable
books, offering a creative outlet, puzzle corners, a great way to take your mind off academic
pressures, and a “cozy classics” recommendation wall await.(这里还有涂色书供你发挥创意，谜
题角落是让你暂时忘却学业压力的好去处，此外还有一面“经典温馨读物”推荐墙等你探索)”
可知，Wellness Wednesdays at Cabot 是为了放松的，故选 A。
23. 细节理解题。根据 Undergrad Research Bootcamp (Year-Round)部分“Learn how to navigate
Harvard’s vast digital documents, request special collections, and cite sources like a specialist
under the careful guidance of the real one.(在专业人士的悉心指导下，学习如何浏览哈佛大学
浩瀚的数字文档、申请获取特藏资料，并像专家一样引用文献来源)”和 Special Collections
Spotlight 部分“Join our team of expert library scholars—renowned for their research in archival
studies, rare book cataloging, and historical manuscript preservation—for in-depth guided
sessions.(加入我们由专家级图书馆学者组成的团队——他们以在档案研究、珍本书籍编目以
及历史手稿保护方面的研究而闻名——参加深入指导的课程)”可知，Undergrad Research
Bootcamp 和 Special Collections Spotlight 的共同点是他们提供专业的学习支持。故选 C。
B 篇：本文是一篇记叙文， Glenna Osborne 在父亲 Ronald 去世后，通过一张手写便条和联
系父亲的好友 Eddie Coleman，揭开了一段感人往事。
24. 答案 D。解析：Ronald 引用《约翰福音》15:13 是为了表达 Eddie 救他性命的行为体现
了“为朋友牺牲生命”的至高之爱，这种感激超越了普通友谊的范畴。经文并非单纯强调宗教
共同信仰（A），而是通过其深刻含义突出 Eddie 的英勇与无私（D）。
25. 答案 D。解析：Glenna 发现便条后联系 Coleman 的动机是深入了解父亲未曾详述的过往
经历。文中明确提到她“渴望揭开父亲过去的故事”（a deep desire to uncover more about her
late father's past），选项 D“深入了解父亲的生活故事”最贴切。
26. 答案 C。解析：事故前，两人已有“strong bond”（深厚情谊）。文中明确指出“Prior to this...
shared a strong bond”，直接对应选项 C“此前已建立坚实的友谊”。选项 A（泛泛之交）、B
（竞争晋升）、D（仅职业合作）均不符合。
27.答案 A。解析：Coleman 在千钧一发之际迅速反应，冒着生命危险救下 Ronald，体现了“无
私”（selfless）与“果断”（decisive）。选项 A 最准确。B（坚持与谨慎）、C（纪律与尊重）、
D（热情与同情）均未直接体现事件中的关键特质。
C 篇：本文是一篇说明文，揭示鱼类可能具备类似人类的共情能力，并追溯其进化起源。文
章以斑马鱼实验为核心，通过基因修改、行为观察和脑部解剖，证明催产素在鱼类“情绪传
染”中的关键作用。
28. 答案 C。解析：文章指出，鱼类与人类可能共享共情机制的进化根源，说明鱼类的类共
情能力可能源于早期进化（约 4.5 亿年前）。选项 C“鱼类可能拥有进化根源的类共情能力”
与文中“人类共情能力可能比之前认为的更早演化”一致。
29. 答案 B。解析：实验显示，去除催产素相关基因的斑马鱼对同伴恐惧无反应，注射后恢
复反应，说明催产素调控鱼类对同伴恐惧的响应。选项 B“影响对同伴恐惧的反应”正确。
30. 答案 B。 解析：研究人员通过对比基因修改鱼与正常鱼的行为差异得出结论（如基因
湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试（共 6 页）第 4页
敲除组无反应，对照组有反应），属于比较实验法。选项 B 正确。
31.答案 D。解析：根据上下文，“sentient”指鱼类可能具备情感感知能力，与人类和其他
物种类似。选项 D“能够感知和感受情绪”最贴合文意。
D 篇：本文是一篇议论文，探讨智能手机在学校中的使用禁令对青少年心理健康的影响。文
章通过引用多项研究指出，虽然智能手机可能加剧青少年心理问题（如焦虑、抑郁），但直
接因果关系难以确立，且学校层面的禁令效果有限。
32. 答案 C。解析：第一段通过法国等国的禁令引出核心问题“禁令是否对心理健康有益”，
属于引入话题。选项 C 正确。
33. 答案 D。解析：文中提到智能手机用途多样（如填字游戏与社交媒体），且因果关系难
以直接证明（如青少年大脑发育差异），选项 D“证明直接因果关系的复杂性”准确。
34. 答案 B。解析：作者指出学校禁令效果有限（如《柳叶刀》研究显示政策严格度无显著
影响），并强调需更细致研究，态度偏向怀疑。选项 B 正确。
35. 答案 A。解析：文章核心观点是“仅靠禁令对青少年心理健康影响有限”，选项 A“仅
靠智能手机禁令：对青少年心理健康的有限影响”最贴合主旨。
七选五：本文是一篇说明文，采用分点对比和列举建议的结构，旨在客观介绍防晒霜的相关
知识。
36. 本题选 B。 空格前对比矿物和化学防晒霜的作用方式（反射紫外线 vs. 吸收紫外线），
后文通过“but”强调两者应用和安全性差异。选项 B（两者都能预防晒伤和皮肤损伤）点明
共同点，与后文转折形成逻辑衔接。
37. 本题选 G。 前文提到化学防晒霜成分进入血液且动物实验显示潜在激素问题，后文引
用环保组织的建议和专家观点（“但任何防晒霜都比不用好”）。选项 G（尽管这些发现令人
担忧，但对人类健康的影响尚不明确）既承接前文研究结果，又为后文专家建议铺垫，符合
上下文逻辑。
38. 本题选 E。 FDA 建议 SPF 至少 15，后文提到更高 SPF（如 50+）的优势。选项 E（皮
肤专家建议 SPF30+以获得更强防护）补充了权威建议，与后文“SPF50+可能更适合白皙皮
肤”形成递进关系。
39. 本题选 D。 本段讨论防晒霜形式（喷雾、乳液、棒状等）。后文提到“乳液仍是金标准”，
选项 D（乳液提供更厚实、更可靠的覆盖）直接点明乳液的优势，与后文呼应。
40. 本题选 C。 总结段强调“坚持使用防晒霜比潜在风险更重要”，选项 C（关于化学防晒霜
的安全争议持续存在）作为补充说明，突出争议存在的同时呼应前文，最终落脚于“坚持使
用”的重要性。
第三部分 语言知识运用解析：
第一节 完形填空：本文讲述了印度喜马拉雅隧道坍塌事故中 41 名工人被困 17 天后成功获
救的过程，重点呈现了救援行动的挑战、多方协作的艰辛以及被困者展现的坚韧精神。
41. B. struck。解析：描述灾难突然发生时常用“strike”,意为突然发生(某种不幸)，强调事
件的突发性。其他选项（attack 攻击/start 开始/arrive 到达）与“灾难发生”的语境不符。
42. B. blocked。解析：坍塌的岩石和金属碎片“堵塞（blocked）”出口，符合被困情境。closed
（关闭）通常用于主动行为，而此处是被动阻塞；disturb 干扰﹐打扰﹐使中断；destroyed
摧毁。
43. C. drilling through。解析：后文提到“钻孔机（drilling machine）”，说明救援使用钻孔
技术打通障碍，故选 drilling through（钻孔穿透）。cutting through 开辟（出路或通道）；digging
through 挖通；breaking through 冲破；突破。
44. D. setbacks。解析：救援进展遇到“反复挫折（setbacks）”，与后文“机器故障”呼应。
dangers（危险）/accidents（事故）侧重意外事件，risks（风险）强调潜在威胁。
45. B. section。 解析：机器故障后，工人手动完成“最后一段/部分/区域（section）”。division
湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试（共 6 页）第 5页

46. A. declared。解析：首席部长在发布会上“宣布（declared）”救援结果，体现官方权威
表态。doubted 怀疑；imagined 想象；questioned 询问﹔盘问﹔审问。
47. C. crawl。解析：被困工人可能需“爬行（crawl）”通过狭窄通道，而非跑（run）或蹦
跳着走（skip）或滑行（slide）。crawl 贴合救援管道狭小的物理限制。
48. B. efforts。解析：赞扬多方“共同努力（combined efforts）”，强调协作过程。effects（效
果）侧重结果，skills（技能）/plans（计划）与“合作”主题关联较弱。
49. A. maintained。解析：救援人员通过管道在整个救援期间“保持（maintained）”联系，
而非建立（built）或失去（lost）或需要（required）。maintain 强调持续性的联络，符合长
期救援需求。
50. D. calm。解析：心理指导帮助工人保持“镇定（calm）”，强调情绪稳定。quiet 轻声的；
轻柔的；安静的; energized 充满活力的; still 静止的﹐不动的
51. C. gathered。解析：家属每日“聚集（gathered）”在入口，体现集体等待的持续性。met
相遇；相逢；遇见; formed 建立﹐组成;形成﹐产生; stood 站立
52. D. unstable。解析：作为备用方案，向下钻探需通过“不稳定（unstable）”山区，强调
地质风险。unusual（不寻常）/uncommon（罕见）不直接关联地质条件，uncertain（不确定）
侧重结果未知。
53. A. ultimately。解析：原计划“最终（ultimately）”成功，强调结果。temporarily（暂时）
与成功矛盾，suddenly（突然）/possibly（可能）不符合逻辑。
54. A. safely。解析：工人通过管道“安全（safely）”逃生，是救援的核心目标。quickly（快
速地）/freely（自由地）/bravely（勇敢地）非首要关注点。
55. C. strength。解析：被困 17 天展现“坚韧,毅力,意志力（strength）”，侧重身体与心理
的耐力。kindness（善良）/wisdom（智慧）与困境中的坚持无直接关联，insight（洞察力）
不符语境。
第二节 语法填空
说明文： 主题为敦煌莫高窟的文化价值与保护

59. daily 考查：形容词词形转换。 句意为“不仅描绘佛教故事，还记录古代中国日常生活”。 daily 为形容词，修饰“life”，符合语境。
60. their 考查：物主代词。句意为“2000 尊彩塑雕像，它们的精致特征”。their 指代“sculptures”， 符合语法。
61. rooted 考查：过去分词。句意为“深植于中国哲学”。 rooted 表示被动含义，“被深植”， 符合逻辑。
62. integration 考查：名词词形转换 。句意为“展示文化融合”。integration 是“integrate” 的名词形式，符合“cultural”后接抽象名词的搭配。
63. have been enhanced 考查：现在完成时被动语态。句意为“自 20 世纪以来，保护努力** 已被加强”。have been enhanced** 表示从过去持续至今的被动动作，符合“since the 20th century”时间状语。

湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试英语试卷（共 10 页）第 3页
discovered a handwritten note from Ronald dedicated to his dear friend and fellow firefighter,
Eddie Coleman, with whom he had fought side by side in countless fires over the years.
The note, which bore a profound message, read: “For firefighter and special friend Eddie,
who saved my life. John 15:13, ‘Greater love has no one than to lay down one’s life for one’s
friend.’” Although Ronald had often mentioned to his family that Coleman had once rescued him,
he had never explained on the details. Filled with a deep desire to uncover more about her late
father’s past, Glenna decided to contact Coleman and request the full account of that fateful day.
Coleman recounted the terrifying incident, which had occurred when he was merely 21 and
Ronald just 19. They had been sent to a burning two-story house, its structure already consumed
by flames. As Glenna later described, “Eddie and my father found themselves battling the fire
from the rooftop when suddenly, my father lost his footing and began to fall suddenly through the
weakened roof.” With lightning-fast reactions, Coleman seized the collar of Ronald’s firefighter
coat and, through sheer determination, managed to pull him back to safety — a split-second act
that Ronald had always maintained spared him from certain death.
Prior to this life-changing event, the two men had shared a strong bond, but the tough
experience on that rooftop created an unbreakable tie between them, a friendship that endured
until Ronald’s final days.
For Glenna, hearing Coleman’s firsthand account provided not only clarity but also a
profound appreciation for her father’s unwavering loyalty to his friend. “I am eternally grateful to
Eddie for his bravery and quick thinking,” she reflected. “Had it not been for his heroic actions,
my father would not have survived, and none of us would be here today. Our family owes him a
debt that can never be repaid.”
24. Why did Ronald quote “John 15:13” in his note to Eddie
A. To remind Eddie of their shared religious beliefs.
B. To indirectly criticize the risks of their profession.
C. To understate the significance of the rescue event.
D. To express gratitude that surpassed ordinary friendship.
25. Why did Glenna feel strongly pushed to contact Coleman after finding the note
A. To search for her father’s belongings.
B. To collect evidence for a potential biography.
C. To check the accuracy of firefighting methods.
D. To gain deeper insight into her father’s life story.
26. What can be inferred about Ronald and Coleman’s relationship before the incident
A. They were merely acquaintances.
B. They competed with each other for promotions.
C. They had established a solid friendship previously.
D. They maintained a strictly professional cooperation.
27. What best describes Coleman’s character as demonstrated in the incident
A. Selfless and decisive. B. Persistent and cautious.
C. Disciplined and respectful. D. Passionate and sympathetic.
C
Fish may have their own version of empathy. In a study published in the journal Science,
researchers say the same mechanism responsible for human empathy might also be at play among
湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试英语试卷（共 10 页）第 4页
fish. This suggests the human ability to understand and share another’s feelings could have
evolved much earlier than previously thought — around 450 million years ago, when fish and
mammals split on the evolutionary tree.
Scientists have known that fear can spread throughout groups of fish in a phenomenon known
as “emotional contagion (传染)”. This can be helpful if, for example, one fish spots a predator
before others do — it can then alert its peers by acting distressed. But until now, scientists weren’
t sure which biological systems led fish to catch onto another’s emotional state. To find out, they
focused on zebrafish, which are often used in research. Scientists concluded the hormone oxytocin
(催 产 素 ), which helps regulate social behavior and empathy in mammals, may also drive
contagious fear in fish.
In one of their experiments, the team removed genes linked to oxytocin production from
some zebrafish, then let them observe other zebrafish that were acting afraid in another tank.
Many of the genetically modified animals did not respond to their peers’ fear, while a control
group of normal fish did. Then, when the researchers injected the genetically modified fish with
oxytocin, they behaved more like the standard, unmodified fish and mirrored the fright behaviors
of their peers.
In another experiment, zebrafish appeared to pay more attention to videos of fish that had
previously shown distress, as opposed to videos of fish that always appeared calm. This suggests
the fish may have been emotionally connecting with their fearful peers — and possibly,
researchers say, even trying to comfort them.
Finally, the researchers dissected (解 剖 ) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue
under a microscope, found that the two areas most involved in emotional contagion were similar
to the mammalian brain regions associated with empathy.
The findings suggest that fish could be sentient, like humans and other species. “They have
the ability to have an emotional life,” says Hans Hofmann, a neurobiologist at the University of
Texas at Austin who was not involved in the research.
28. What does human-fish empathy similarity indicate
A. Fish lost the ability to feel emotions during evolution.
B. Mammals learned empathetic behavior by observing fish.
C. Fish may possess empathy-like abilities rooted in evolution.
D. Fish developed empathy separately after splitting from mammals.
29. What role does oxytocin play in zebrafish according to the study
A. It enhances their swimming speed.
B. It shapes their response to peers’ fear.
C. It helps them detect predators faster.
D. It reduces their need for social interaction.
30. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By analyzing data. B. By making comparisons.
C. By building models. D. By conducting surveys.
31. The underlined word “sentient” in the last paragraph most likely means _____________.
A. capable of physical adaptation
B. dependent on group survival
C. skilled at avoiding predators
D. able to perceive and feel emotions
D
France has not allowed smartphone use in primary or secondary schools since 2018, claiming
湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试英语试卷（共 10 页）第 5页
that it would help children focus, reduce their social media use and cyberbullying. The
Netherlands and Hungary initiated similar bans in 2024. The key question facing them is whether
banning smartphones in schools offers any benefits to mental health.
A 2021 US Surgeon General report revealed a 40% rise in feelings of hopelessness among
American high school students between 2009 and 2019, with 48% of lifelong mental-health
problems (like depression and anxiety) originating in adolescence. It is tempting to connect these
trends with the increased availability of smartphones, but establishing a causal connection is
difficult. Part of the problem is that smartphones contain multitudes. Using a smartphone to solve
crosswords or read the news may well have distinctly different psychological effects than
intensive social-media use.
Additionally, Children’s brain undergoes profound changes during adolescence, meaning that
any research on the effects of smartphone use needs to consider the developmental age of the
children being studied as well as their precise smartphone habits.
Few studies fully address these slight differences. A 2022 Cambridge University study of
17,409 youths aged between 10 and 21 linked increased social media use to reduced life
satisfaction, particularly in girls aged 11–13 and boys aged 14–15. However, school-level bans
alone may be insufficient. Research in The Lancet compared schools with strict and relaxed
smartphone policies, finding no mental health differences between groups. While heavy
smartphone users showed declines, policy strictness had no measurable effect.
Researchers are trying to paint a complete picture with both hands tied behind their back.
According to Dr. Orben, social media companies routinely refuse to give independent researchers
access to detailed data on the behaviors of their users. This forces researchers to rely on less
accurate measures, like overall screen time. It also means that children playing educational games
are being put in the same analytical bin as children who are on social media. A more detailed
picture of the effects of smartphones needs to be painted.
32. What is the purpose of Paragragh1
A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a solution.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To describe a phenomenon.
33. What’s the main barrier to linking smartphones to mental health issues
A. The varied purposes of smartphone apps.
B. The changes in children’s smartphone habits.
C. The ineffectiveness of strict school policies.
D. The complexity of proving direct causation.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward school-level smartphone bans
A. Supportive. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.
35. Which might be a suitable title for the article
A. Smartphone Bans Alone: Limited Impact on Youth Mental Health
B. Smartphones in Schools: Balancing Risks and Educational Benefits
C. The Rise of Social Media: A Primary Cause of Adolescent Depression
D. Global Bans on Smartphones: A Simple Solution to Teen Mental Health

What’s the Best Kind of Sunscreen
Sunscreen comes in chemical and mineral formulas (配方). Mineral sunscreens sit on the
surface of the skin, reflecting UV rays, while chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays. 36 ,
but their application and safety profiles differ.
Is chemical or mineral sunscreen better
Mineral sunscreens leave a visible white cast but offer longer-lasting protection, making them
ideal for extended sun exposure. They’re also gentler for sensitive or acne-prone (易长粉刺的)
skin, as zinc in them may reduce breakouts and formulas stay on the surface, minimizing allergy
risks. Chemical sunscreens absorb smoothly but face safety inspection: studies show their
ingredients enter the bloodstream, with animal research suggesting potential hormone disorder.
37 . The Environmental Working Group only recommend mineral options. However, skin
experts stress that any sunscreen — chemical or mineral — is better than none for skin cancer
prevention.
Which SPF is best
SPF measures UVB protection. The FDA recommends at least SPF 15; 38 .
Higher SPF (e.g., 50) blocks slightly more rays, but no product offers 100% protection.
Fair-skinned individuals may benefit from SPF 50+, but reapplication every two hours (or after
swimming/sweating) matters most. Always choose“broad-spectrum (用途广泛的)” formulas to
guard against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays, which contribute to skin cancer.
Is sunscreen best as a spray, lotion, or stick
39 . Sticks work for small areas like faces but require multiple passes. Sprays risk
uneven application due to wind or inadequate dosing, and breathing them in could be risky.
Powders are not proven effective by the FDA. However, any format is better than skipping
sunscreen — except powders, which experts caution against. For full-body use, creams remain
the gold standard.
Key takeaways: Mineral sunscreens suit sensitive skin and offer durability, while chemical
versions appeal for invisibility. Prioritize SPF 30+ broad-spectrum formulas, reapply regularly,
and choose lotions when possible. 40 , but consistent use of any sunscreen outweighs
possible risks.
A. There is broad support for that idea
B. Both prevent sunburns and skin damage
C. Safety debates around chemicals persist
D. Lotions provide thicker, more reliable coverage
E. Skin experts advise SPF 30+ for stronger coverage
F. The higher the SPF, the more ingredients your skin absorbs
G. While these findings are concerning, human health impacts remain unclear

After our family settled in America, we made our home on Pearl Street in New York’s
Chinatown. Downstairs from our apartment, my parents managed a small Chinese bakery. My
湖北省黄冈中学 2025 届高三第四次模拟考试英语试卷（共 10 页）第 9页
mother chose my name after our street address — Pearl Wong.
Like many strict Chinese mothers, mine constantly stressed the need to excel. “Be the best or
be forgotten,” she’d say in her choppy English. She inspected my school grades like a detective,
ready to scold me if she saw a B instead of an A.
One holiday, my brother got a chess set missing several pieces. Mom called it “worthless
trash,” but my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I couldn’t stop playing with it — especially me. I flooded
everyone with questions: “Why can’t this piece move farther ” “Why does that one attack
sideways ” My mother wiped flour from her hands and gave me the rulebook. “You figure it out,”
she shrugged.
I studied every page, memorized strategies, and practiced until my fingers memorized the
board. Before long, I was defeating my brothers effortlessly. Each win sharpened my skills and
fueled my obsession to dominate.
When I began competing in tournaments, trophies (奖杯) started piling up. Mom transformed
into my loudest cheerleader — in her unique style. She demanded perfection at every match and
arranged each prize in the bakery’s display window. Though I begged her to stop, she’d wave me
off. Soon, her cakes sat beside gleaming awards. “This my Pearl — chess genius!” she’d boast to
customers, glowing with pride. But her boast made me feel like a puppet (木偶), as if my victories
belonged to her, not me.
One weekend, Mom dragged me from shop to shop in Chinatown, not buying anything.
“Meet Pearl Wong — chess queen of our neighborhood!” she announced to every store owner.
Their forced smiles tightened as we stayed, their annoyance growing with each introduction.
