　　“I was excited，” said Gabby， now 14.“I was always complaining to my mom about these barrettes.” Gabby’s persistence persuaded her mother， and they began to deal with the problem.“Mom really saw it as a science project，” Gabby said.
　　First they examined Gabby’s hair bows to see why they were falling out.Then they came up with a design for a double-face barrette that attaches securely to hair.When the Goodwins first showed their design to possible investors， it was rejected.The product wasn’t the right fit or the business plan wasn’t good， companies told them.The difficulties made Gabby more determined.
　　Gabby and her mother didn’t give up.Their efforts paid off.In 2014 they began selling the bows online.The barrettes were so popular that the family decided to apply for a patent （专利证书）， and the business developed quickly and was successful.Today Gabby is chief of Confidence by Gabby Goodwin， and the barrettes — called GaBBY Bows — are available online and in 74 chain stores across the country.Confidence also sells three plant-based products for detangling （理顺）， moisturizing （保湿） and styling hair.

　　Will there be another Harry Potter？ Between 1997 and 2007， it seemed like every child was reading J.K.Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures.Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times.But when digital reading began supplanting print reading， we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.In addition， the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills， a recently published study finds.
　　Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies， each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension.They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills， but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading， and it’s smallest for children.
　　Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period.Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic （语言学的） quality compared to printed works.Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions （干扰） from social media， YouTube， and video games.Because youth tend to have poor impulse （冲动） control， they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading.They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules.
　　With paper， there is a literal laying on of hands， along with the visual geography of distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.The more kids are exposed to print reading， the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading.Moreover， as young readers consume longer and more complex texts， their reading skills improve， further boosting their abilities.
　　It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content， or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.
28.What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean？（　　）
A.Changing. B.Replacing.
C.Influencing. D.Aiding.
29.What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs？（　　）
A.The loss of deep reading. B.The importance of reading.
C.The appeal of print reading. D.The benefits of digital reading.
30.The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of 　　　　.（　　）
A.parents’ reading skills B.social media’s support
C.paper’s physical properties D.kids’ consumption of easy texts
31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Basic e-readers can be promoted.
B.Print reading still has a place nowadays.
C.Teachers should limit kids’ reading time.
D.Parents should emphasize digital reading.
D
　　Slow motion， a way of displaying action in a manner that appears slower than real-time action， is used in many short videos on social media.A new study shows that slow motion increases the number of likes and views and promotes brand preference， choice and consumer willingness to pay.
　　Although slow motion is used in many videos， there was little scientific evidence on how this technique affects a positive viewing experience.Previous research points to different findings.Radio broadcasts， for example， are enjoyed more when they are played faster.
　　In the new research， subjects were shown GIFs in a slow-motion version and in a normal-speed version.It turned out that slow-motion GIFs were found to be much more enjoyable than the normal fast GIFs.This effect appeared because slow motion is easier for the brain to process.Interestingly， this theory can also explain people’s viewing behavior on an online GIF-sharing platform.In a study that examined several hundred GIFs from a website， the researchers saw that slow-motion GIFs were viewed more often， received more ratings and were generally rated more positively than regular fast GIFs.
　　Marketing researcher Anika Stuppy from Tilburg University states，“We see that the slow-motion technique is especially effective in slowing down movements that are extremely complex and difficult to observe at normal speed.” Videographers themselves can also make a movement complex， and therefore interesting.“For example， a slow-motion video of a cook cutting a steak might be boring， but a close-up of the knife slicing through the meat in slow-motion is pleasing again，” adds Stuppy.
　　However， slow motion is not recommended in some cases， such as a simple dance.Such movements are more boring to watch in slow motion.The research also shows that when slow motion is used for content that is unpleasant， it can make the viewing experience more unpleasant.
　　Finally， the research shows that slow motion creates feelings of safety and familiarity.Therefore， it is not a proper technique when you want to excite the viewer or show a product as “adventurous” or “exciting”.In that case， the researchers recommend fast-motion techniques.
32.What is a notable benefit of slow motion according to the new research？（　　）
A.Heightening viewing pleasure. B.Inspiring a sense of adventure.
C.Developing the viewers’ creativity. D.Aiding in technical problem-solving.
33.Which factor greatly influences the effectiveness of slow motion？（　　）
A.The platform for sharing the content. B.The quality of the recording equipment.
C.The features of the presented movement. D.The viewers’ familiarity with the subject.
34.What does the author advise video creators to do？（　　）
A.Experiment with advanced fast-motion effects.
B.Add pleasant content as much as possible.
C.Reduce the repetition of slow motion.
D.Apply slow motion to suitable scenes.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.The Power of Slow Motion in Video Appreciation
B.Social Media’s Role in Shaping Video Preference
C.The Development of Online Video Platforms
D.Public Opinions on Slow Motion Usage

　　Whether kids enjoy fashion or make-up trends （时尚或美妆潮流）， they can share these interests with the world around them.By contrast， when they do not have many opportunities to express themselves or they do not know people with the same passions or interests， they begin to wonder if there is something wrong with them.39.（　　）

　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　How far can a penny go？ Right now， one can quickly say that it wouldn’t get you that much.Or， to be more specific， it’s more of a novelty item now than a currency.
　　But Ryan Trahan， who is an online media content creator， wanted to prove that a penny can turn into something much more valuable and that the spirit of bartering （以物易物） is still alive and well.His goal will surprise anyone.
　　In his video， he shared that he would turn his penny into a house.Yes， you’ve read that right.He will barter his way to a house.
　　The challenge started as tough as you’d expect it to be because who would trade anything for a penny？ The first thing he got was a pen.Then， he traded off his pen for a small dinosaur toy.Luckily， he met a dinosaur fan who was more than willing enough to trade it for a tin of mints （薄荷糖） — or at least what’s left of it.
　　It was a dead end from then on until he met two interesting strangers.Apparently， his campaign of “penny-to-a-house” is gaining attention.It gave him a chance to trade the mints for something of value — gas station earphones.
　　It snowballed from there.After the earphones， the value of his trade just got bigger when he decided to be creative.He called in at a local garage sale and traded the earphones for a vintage Polaroid （老式拍立得） camera.He also gave a shirt， just so he wouldn’t feel bad.
　　However， it wasn’t as easy as he thought.Trahan thought he struck gold and that it was easy to exchange the camera into something much more valuable.After all， who doesn’t love a vintage camera？
注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
　　The answer， surprisingly， is “not a lot of people”.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　He got an amazing deal out of the camera for an item that’s three times its value， a piece of land.

　　Malls are popular places for Americans to go.Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”.Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.

Reduce Screen Time to Protect Our Eyesight
　　It’s true that nowadays we are surrounded by different electronic devices， such as TVs， computers， mobile phones， and tablets.Due to the increasing number of hours we spend on them， our eyesight has been going from bad to worse.
　　Actually， it’s absolutely unnecessary for us to spend so much time on those electronic devices.For one thing， we do many meaningless things on them， such as chatting， shopping， and watching short videos.For another， the long screen time has been doing great harm to our health — very few of us don’t wear nearsighted glasses nowadays！
　　Dear students， it’s time we reduced screen time to protect our eyesight.After all， never should we enjoy the convenience of technology at the expense of our health.

　　The answer， surprisingly， is “not a lot of people”.Despite the attraction of the classic camera， finding the right person willing to make a significant trade proved to be a challenge.He went from one person to another， asking them if they’d be willing to trade anything for the vintage camera.Despite the initial setbacks， Trahan’s perseverance paid off when he came across a potential trading partner who saw the true value in the vintage camera.Recognizing its historical significance， the person offered a valuable piece of land in exchange for the camera.
　　He got an amazing deal out of the camera for an item that’s three times its value， a piece of land.At that point， Trahan was pretty thrilled.It seems that his campaign will succeed.The deal was even more astonishing as the piece of land was located in a picturesque countryside area.Trahan couldn’t believe his luck and felt a renewed sense of excitement.As word of his ambitious project spread， Trahan’s determination and creativity attracted more attention and opportunities.With his campaign inching closer to success， he eagerly accepted the offer， realizing that his penny had indeed transformed into a dream house.

W：Oh， no， you know these things are bad for your health.How about
ordering some vegetables and fruit instead？
（Text 2）
W：I hate to say it， but Jacky isn’t doing well in the new film.
M：Well， I think he’s only playing a different type of role.My sister
thinks he is still the best.
（Text 3）
M：I met Sam on the street today.
W：Really？ Did he say something about his sister？
M：Yes.Betty ought to be leaving New York very soon， because her
husband， John， has taken a job in Los Angeles.
（Text 4）

bicycle.
M：Drivers get crazier these days.
（Text 6）
W：What are you looking at， Jim？
M：I’m reading an article about the world’s homeless population.
W：Homeless population？
M：Yes， sociologists define homeless people as those who have no fixed
shelter on any given night.These figures show five countries with large
homeless population.
W：Wow， that’s amazing.I never realized that there were so many
homeless people in Germany and France.
M：You know what？ Our own country the USA ranks number one
among these countries！
W：Surely not！ India tops the list with three million homeless people.
M：Well， it depends on how you look at it.Although we have a million
fewer homeless people than India， we have the highest percentage of

　　Malls are popular places for Americans to go.Some people spend so
much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”.Mall rats shop until
they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
　　People like malls for many reasons.They feel safe because malls have
police stations or private security guards.Parking is usually free， and the
atmosphere inside is always fine.The newest malls have beautiful rest
areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
（Text 10）
　　The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in
Minnesota.It has 350 stores， eight night clubs， and a seven-acre park！
There are parking spaces for 12，750 cars.About 750，000 people shop
every week.
　　The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina，
Minnesota.Now people shop in malls， of course.They also eat in food
houses that have food from all over the world.They see movies here.Some
people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall
walking.Others go to malls to meet friends.In a word， now residents can
actually live in their favorite shopping center.

　　Gabby Goodwin and her mother， Rozalynn， had an annoying
problem： even after careful styling， barrettes （发夹） kept slipping
out of the 5-year-old’s hair.Gabby hated losing bows， and her mom
was tired of buying replacements.As Rozalynn shared her annoyance with
other parents on social media， her husband suggested that the Goodwins
try creating their own barrettes.Rozalynn ignored the idea， but Gabby
was curious.
　　“I was excited，” said Gabby， now 14.“I was always
complaining to my mom about these barrettes.” Gabby’s persistence
persuaded her mother， and they began to deal with the problem.“Mom
really saw it as a science project，” Gabby said.
　　First they examined Gabby’s hair bows to see why they were falling
out.Then they came up with a design for a double-face barrette that
attaches securely to hair.When the Goodwins first showed their design to
possible investors， it was rejected.The product wasn’t the right fit or
the business plan wasn’t good， companies told them.The difficulties
made Gabby more determined.
　　Gabby and her mother didn’t give up.Their efforts paid off.In 2014
they began selling the bows online.The barrettes were so popular that the
family decided to apply for a patent （专利证书）， and the business
developed quickly and was successful.Today Gabby is chief of Confidence
by Gabby Goodwin， and the barrettes — called GaBBY Bows — are
available online and in 74 chain stores across the country.Confidence also
sells three plant-based products for detangling （理顺）， moisturizing
（保湿） and styling hair.

Goodwin was named Black Enterprise’s Kid Entrepreneur of the Year in
2018.The following year， Gabby and Rozalynn started a virtual club to

　　Will there be another Harry Potter？ Between 1997 and 2007， it
seemed like every child was reading J. K. Rowling’s fantasy novels
about a teenager’s adventures.Kids worldwide spent long hours reading
the thick hardcovers many times.But when digital reading began
supplanting print reading， we may never again see another book series
attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.In addition， the switch to
digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills， a
recently published study finds.
　　Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous
studies， each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on
comprehension.They found that digital reading does improve
comprehension skills， but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between
six and seven times smaller than that of print reading， and it’s smallest
for children.
　　Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers
from building firm reading basics in a critical period.Digital texts tend to
be much shorter and have worse linguistic （语言学的） quality
compared to printed works.Phones and computers also expose readers to
distractions （干扰） from social media， YouTube， and video
games.Because youth tend to have poor impulse （冲动） control， they
are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital
reading.They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and
grammar rules.
　　With paper， there is a literal laying on of hands， along with the
visual geography of distinct pages.People often link their memory of what
they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the
page.The more kids are exposed to print reading， the better able they are
to understand and recall what they are reading.Moreover， as young
readers consume longer and more complex texts， their reading skills
improve， further boosting their abilities.
　　It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’
time with digital content， or at least emphasize printed works or using
basic e-readers with ink-screens.

　　Slow motion， a way of displaying action in a manner that appears
slower than real-time action， is used in many short videos on social
media.A new study shows that slow motion increases the number of likes
and views and promotes brand preference， choice and consumer
willingness to pay.
　　Although slow motion is used in many videos， there was little
scientific evidence on how this technique affects a positive viewing
experience.Previous research points to different findings.Radio
broadcasts， for example， are enjoyed more when they are played faster.
　　In the new research， subjects were shown GIFs in a slow-motion
version and in a normal-speed version.It turned out that slow-motion GIFs
were found to be much more enjoyable than the normal fast GIFs.This
effect appeared because slow motion is easier for the brain to
process.Interestingly， this theory can also explain people’s viewing
behavior on an online GIF-sharing platform.In a study that examined
several hundred GIFs from a website， the researchers saw that slow-
motion GIFs were viewed more often， received more ratings and were
generally rated more positively than regular fast GIFs.
　　Marketing researcher Anika Stuppy from Tilburg University states，
“We see that the slow-motion technique is especially effective in slowing
down movements that are extremely complex and difficult to observe at
normal speed.” Videographers themselves can also make a movement
complex， and therefore interesting.“For example， a slow-motion
video of a cook cutting a steak might be boring， but a close-up of the
knife slicing through the meat in slow-motion is pleasing again，” adds
Stuppy.
　　However， slow motion is not recommended in some cases， such as
a simple dance.Such movements are more boring to watch in slow
motion.The research also shows that when slow motion is used for content
that is unpleasant， it can make the viewing experience more unpleasant.
　　Finally， the research shows that slow motion creates feelings of
safety and familiarity.Therefore， it is not a proper technique when you
want to excite the viewer or show a product as “adventurous” or
“exciting”.In that case， the researchers recommend fast-motion
techniques.

Reduce Screen Time to Protect Our Eyesight
　　It’s true that nowadays we are surrounded by different electronic
devices， such as TVs， computers， mobile phones， and tablets.Due
to the increasing number of hours we spend on them， our eyesight has
been going from bad to worse.
　　Actually， it’s absolutely unnecessary for us to spend so much time
on those electronic devices.For one thing， we do many meaningless
things on them， such as chatting， shopping， and watching short
videos.For another， the long screen time has been doing great harm to
our health — very few of us don’t wear nearsighted glasses nowadays！
　　Dear students， it’s time we reduced screen time to protect our
eyesight.After all， never should we enjoy the convenience of technology
at the expense of our health.

第二节（满分25分）
　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
　　How far can a penny go？ Right now， one can quickly say that it
wouldn’t get you that much.Or， to be more specific， it’s more of a
novelty item now than a currency.
　　But Ryan Trahan， who is an online media content creator， wanted
to prove that a penny can turn into something much more valuable and that
the spirit of bartering （以物易物） is still alive and well.His goal will
surprise anyone.
　　In his video， he shared that he would turn his penny into a
house.Yes， you’ve read that right.He will barter his way to a house.
　　The challenge started as tough as you’d expect it to be because who
would trade anything for a penny？ The first thing he got was a
pen.Then， he traded off his pen for a small dinosaur toy.Luckily， he
met a dinosaur fan who was more than willing enough to trade it for a tin
of mints （薄荷糖） — or at least what’s left of it.
　　It was a dead end from then on until he met two interesting
strangers.Apparently， his campaign of “penny-to-a-house” is gaining
attention.It gave him a chance to trade the mints for something of value —
gas station earphones.
　　It snowballed from there.After the earphones， the value of his trade
just got bigger when he decided to be creative.He called in at a local
garage sale and traded the earphones for a vintage Polaroid （老式拍立
得） camera.He also gave a shirt， just so he wouldn’t feel bad.
　　However， it wasn’t as easy as he thought.Trahan thought he struck
gold and that it was easy to exchange the camera into something much
more valuable.After all， who doesn’t love a vintage camera？
注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　The answer， surprisingly， is “not a lot of people”.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　
He got an amazing deal out of the camera for an item that’s three
times its value， a piece of land. 　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　　 　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　　 　
　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　 　
参考范文：
　　The answer， surprisingly， is “not a lot of people”.Despite the
attraction of the classic camera， finding the right person willing to make
a significant trade proved to be a challenge.He went from one person to
another， asking them if they’d be willing to trade anything for the
vintage camera.Despite the initial setbacks， Trahan’s perseverance paid
off when he came across a potential trading partner who saw the true value
in the vintage camera.Recognizing its historical significance， the person
offered a valuable piece of land in exchange for the camera.
　　He got an amazing deal out of the camera for an item that’s three
times its value， a piece of land.At that point， Trahan was pretty
thrilled.It seems that his campaign will succeed.The deal was even more
astonishing as the piece of land was located in a picturesque countryside
area.Trahan couldn’t believe his luck and felt a renewed sense of
excitement.As word of his ambitious project spread， Trahan’s
determination and creativity attracted more attention and opportunities.
With his campaign inching closer to success， he eagerly accepted the offer， realizing that his penny had indeed transformed into a dream house.
