At just 12 years old, Mia DaPonte has made history by becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in the United States. This honorable title, awarded by organizations like PADI, represents an advanced level of training that most divers never achieve. Mia’s remarkable journey began with a simple inspiration: learning that her mother had been a certified diver since high school.
Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and poor visibility. Earning her initial Open Water Diver certificate required persistence, a quality her instructors immediately recognized. One noted, “She sets her mind to something and gets it done.”
Over the next two years, Mia dedicated herself to the demanding process. PADI courses combine practical diving with classroom study, and Mia progressed through several learning skills like first aid, underwater navigation, and fish identification. Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same courses, providing crucial support. Mia’s commitment is reflected in her 78 logged dives, far more than the 50 required for master certification.
The final step presented a unique challenge: Mia had to wait until she turned 12 to take her last two required courses. To complete the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications, her family traveled to Mexico. There, on her 12th birthday, she passed the advanced course. The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious adult diver — the most difficult task of all.
While proud of her accomplishment, Mia sees it as just the beginning. She plans to pursue further diving education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging and tracking.
24．What made Mia’s early training in Rhode Island particularly difficult
A. A lack of qualified diving instructors.
B. Challenging storms and currents.
C. Cold and low-visibility water conditions.
D. The absence of required persistence.
25．What was key to Mia’s progress during her two-year training
A. Her mother’s participation as her partner.
B. The simplicity of the PADI course system.
C. Her natural talent for underwater navigation.
D. Financial support for international travel.
26．What does the word “strenuous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Tough and demanding. B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Complex and discouraging. D. Advanced and rewarding.
27．What does Mia’s plan for the future show about her
A. She is satisfied with her current accomplishment.
B. She views diving only as a personal hobby.
C. She hopes to become a professional diving coach.
D. She aims to connect her passion with science.
Children are often exposed to diet culture from a young age and its negative impacts can be long-lasting, according to Virginia Sole-Smith, author of a new book titled Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture.
"Kids, at a very young age, start to become aware of body shaming," Sole-Smith said. "The main factors of children's future eating disorder (饮食失调) are kids' being ashamed of their weight and their history of dieting in childhood."
In Fat Talk, Sole-Smith argues that one way parents can fight back against this is to take a fresh look at the word "fat". "We can understand 'fat' as just a neutral body descriptor, just like saying tall or short or brown hair, black hair..." Sole-Smith said. "If your child in a bigger body comes to you, and he says, 'Am I fat ' you should be honest with him and say, 'You're fat.' And there's definitely nothing wrong with that. We love your body just the way it is."
Another suggestion from Sole-Smith is for parents to change conversations with and in front of children at home. "We can say I'm not going to feel ashamed of my body in front of my kids and I'm going to celebrate bodies in all shapes and sizes," Sole-Smith recommended. Simmons, a parenting expert, added, "So if you have a child who's in a bigger body, talk about their strengths," Simmons continued. "Helping our children concentrate on how our bodies work, how they allow us to achieve our goals... these are things we can remind our kids about every single day."
Often, diet conversations about size can be unavoidable for children, but Simmons said parents can act as a shield between children and some of the most harmful messages behind diet culture. But as children grow older, Simmons encourages parents to be honest with kids about their own struggles and not to pretend they know everything and that kids know nothing about diet culture.
28．What might contribute to children's future eating disorder
A. Body shape and peer pressure. B. Body image and parenting style.
C. Body change and food preference. D. Body shaming and dieting experience.
29．What can be learnt from paragraph 3
A. Parents should teach their kids honesty.
B. Kids should take pride in being overweight.
C. Parents should give "fat" a positive definition.
D. Kids should make peace with their body image.
30．What should kids focus on according to Simmons
A. Their body functions. B. Their individual characters.
C. Their physical appearance. D. Their career achievements.
31．What does the underlined word "shield" in the last paragraph mean
A. Tutor. B. Supporter. C. Protector. D. Connector.
We live in an age where every click, scroll, and purchase is tracked, analyzed, and used to serve us a “personalized” world. Algorithms, the invisible architects of this world, promise efficiency and satisfaction—why waste time on irrelevant content when a machine can curate your perfect feed But this convenience comes at a steep cost: the slow erosion of our ability to think critically and engage with ideas outside our comfort zones.
Proponents of algorithms argue that they simply “give people what they want,” framing choice as a democratic(民主的) ideal. Yet this logic is flawed. When a platform learns you prefer conservative news, it stops showing liberal perspectives; if you binge true-crime podcasts, it floods your queue with similar content. Over time, your worldview shrinks, not by choice, but by design. Psychologists call this the “filter bubble”—a digital echo chamber where dissent is silenced and curiosity withers.
Worse, algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy. Outrageous claims and sensational headlines generate more clicks than nuanced analysis, so they rise to the top. A 2023 study found that 68% of users exposed primarily to algorithmic news developed more polarized(两极分化的) political views compared to those who sought out diverse sources intentionally. This isn’t just about information—it’s about how we form opinions. If we never encounter arguments that challenge our beliefs, we lose the muscle of critical thinking.
Defenders counter that users can always “opt out” by adjusting settings or seeking alternative sources. But this ignores the reality of digital behavior: most people scroll mindlessly, trusting the algorithm to guide them. The burden of effort falls disproportionately(不成比例地) on the user, while platforms profit from our intellectual laziness.
Algorithms are not inherently evil, but their current design serves corporate interests over human flourishing. To break free, we must reclaim agency—set limits on screen time, actively seek opposing views, and demand platforms prioritize diversity over engagement. The alternative is a world where no one thinks for themselves, because no one has to.
32．What is the main argument of the passage
A. Algorithms should be banned for spreading misinformation.
B. Personalization harms our ability to think critically.
C. Users are fully responsible for their digital choices.
D. Platforms profit from catering to diverse interests.
33．Why does the author mention the “filter bubble”
A. To illustrate the narrowing effect of Personalization.
B. To explain how algorithms protect users from harmful content.
C. To praise algorithms for creating a comfortable online space.
D. To compare digital echo chambers with traditional media.
34．What do proponents of algorithmic fail to consider
A. Users’ ability to easily adjust their settings.
B. The profit motives behind platform design.
C. The passive nature of most digital consumption.
D. The efficiency of personalized content delivery.
35．What does the author suggest to counteract the negative effects of algorithms
A. Regulating platforms to remove all recommendation systems.
B. Encouraging users to actively engage with diverse viewpoints.
C. Teaching algorithms to prioritize accuracy over engagement.
D. Reducing screen time to avoid digital platforms entirely.
三、七选五
36．In the age of short videos and bite-sized information, it seems we’re losing the ability to enjoy good books. Reading is no longer a naturally built-in ability; or rather, it has become something that must be relearned. ①____________ The answer is certainly yes. Here are some tips as you take on the challenge of relearning to read.
Cut yourself off from social media.
Making time for relearning to read is no easy task when every extra hour is flooded with social media and other digital addictions. So instead of trying to find extra time in your daily routine, cut yourself off from these time-wasting distractions for a short period. This alone will leave your brain longing for something to do. ②____________
Read whatever material.
③____________ For example, you can begin with children’s science readers or illustrated texts to help the brain gradually readjust to sustained reading. Rediscover reading as entertainment and fun, and it becomes that much easier to get tuned back in.
Make relearning to read a part of your schedule.
Set specific times to start reading. ④____________ Or just start with 5, 10, or 15 minutes at a time to keep the barrier to entry low. As your brain rediscovers the habit, your sessions naturally become longer.
⑤____________
When there’s a break in the day, pull out your book instead of checking your social media. Turn waiting rooms into learning centers. Turn bus rides into a time to grow your brain. You’ll fall in love with reading before you know it.
In short, start your reading journey today and rebuild your brain’s ability to focus. In an era defined by speed, to relearn how to read deeply is, ultimately, to relearn how to think for ourselves.
A. Keep a book on you at all times.
B. Set clear goals for what you read each day.
C. And then you can fill that gap with reading.
D. Break your reading sessions up throughout the day.
E. You may wonder whether the effort is actually worth it, though.
F. Instead of forcing yourself through complicated books, start small.
G. Don’t you feel the scenes are not just two-dimensional pictures in your head

54．“Mark, what a mess!” Mr. Thompson, the art teacher, exclaimed as he surveyed the paint-splattered (泼洒). Mark looked down at his paint-covered clothes and the paint on the floor. His face turned bright red, and he whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Thompson. I was trying to mix the perfect shade of oceanblue for my seascape painting, but I accidentally knocked over the paint bottle.”
The students around him laughed quietly, and Mark felt a lump (肿块) form in his throat. It was the school’s annual art exhibition coming up, and this painting was his entry. Now, not only was his work destroyed, but he had also made a huge mess in the art room. Mr. Thompson sighed, “Clean this up immediately, Mark. And I hope you can fix your painting before the deadline. Remember what we learned about color theory last week — sometimes unexpected combinations lead to the most beautiful results.”
With his head hung low, Mark cleaned the floor. When he finally sat back down to his painting, he realized that most of the blue paint was gone, and the canvas was made dirty. The once-promising seascape now looked like a chaotic mess. Mark bit his lip, his eyes welling up with tears. He glanced around the room, seeing his classmates focused on their nearly-finished masterpieces.
Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the art class. Mark slowly packed his things. As he walked out of the art room, the gray sky outside seemed to mirror his mood. A light rain started to fall, and Mark pulled up his hood (风帽), not caring that the raindrops were making dark spots on his already-stained clothes.
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice his best friend, Alex, walking beside him. “Hey, Mark, what’s wrong ” Alex asked, with an expression of concern on his face. Mark told him everything. “I spent hours trying to get that perfect blue for the ocean waves,” Mark sighed. “Without it, my whole painting is ruined.” Alex patted him on the back and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. Let’s go to the art supply room and see if there’s any blue paint left.”

53．答案：Dear Daniel,
I’m thrilled to hear about your participation! I’d recommend the song “Mo Li Hua” (茉莉花).
This folk song is perfect for you because its melody is beautiful yet relatively simple, and the lyrics are repetitive and easy to remember. Most importantly, it’s a classic that all Chinese people know and love, so it will definitely resonate with the audience and judges.
I wish you the best of luck! I’m sure you’ll perform well and make a wonderful impression.
Yours,
Li Hua
54．答案：Upon entering the supply room, Mark’s heart sank. The blue paint shelf stood empty. “Mr. Thompson just restocked other colors yesterday,” Alex pointed to vibrant jars of purple and green. A sudden idea struck Mark. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s lesson about color blending — blue could be created by mixing green and purple! With trembling hands, he combined the paints, gradually achieving the exact ocean blue hue he’d envisioned. Alex grinned, “You did it!” New energy surged through Mark as he rushed back to his canvas, brushes dancing with renewed determination.
Two days later, Mark stood nervously beside his reborn painting at the exhibition. Instead of traditional blue tones, his landscape shimmered with unexpected depth from the blended colors. The art teacher’s eyes widened in recognition. “Creative problem-solving deserves extra credit,” Mr. Thompson announced, placing a golden star sticker on Mark’s work. Across the room, Alex gave a thumbs-up as sunlight broke through the clouds, making the painting’s unique blues glow like real seawater. Mark touched his now paint-free shirt, understanding that mistakes could lead to brighter masterpieces.
