My grandma has a new smartphone, and I am trying to help her use it. But she says her smartphone is “bad” because things on the screen disappear and cannot be recovered. Her old “dumb phone” is more reliable. Even though I’m a tech-savvy (精通技术的), 24-year-old granddaughter, I understand her perfectly. I also made a choice to go without a smartphone for a whole decade, from 2010 to 2020.
Back in 2010, when I was 11, the small number of kids in my year who had smartphones were treated like superstars. But then, over the next couple of years, smartphones became popular. Despite this, I decided to stick with my brick phone. I became the odd one out. I couldn’t play music or use revision apps for my tests. By the time I got to university, people would openly comment on how strange it was that I still had a Nokia brick.
I managed to live like this for years. But by 2020 the world had changed so as to make life without a smartphone inconvenient. For instance, many university students are now required to download an app on their phones to confirm identities on campus. That makes smartphone ownership a must. It is nearly impossible to separate your life from your smartphone now.
At the same time, researchers are still trying to analyze the effects of phones and the Internet on our mental health. According to recent studies, the decade from 2010 to 2020 saw the beginning of a sharp drop in the happiness of young people. This is the same decade in which the Internet became something that lived in our pockets.
It’s not necessarily social media that makes young people sad and anxious, but the constant presence of it in their lives through a smartphone. Many people would surely like to give them up, but society does not allow for that. In many ways, it is socially unacceptable not to have one.
Even now, I would love to go back to my Nokia brick. Recently, sick of the constant buzzing of my iPhone, I bought a secondhand Nokia on the Internet. The Nokia is still there ready for me to use it again.
24. Why does the author mention her grandma in paragraph 1
A．To comment on the poor design of smartphones.
B．To introduce her own attitude towards smartphones.
C．To stress the reliability of traditional “dumb phones”.
D．To show the difficulty the elderly have with new technology.
25. What can be inferred about the author during her school years without a smartphone
A．She was seen as an outsider by her peers (同伴).
B．She had problems with her life and study.
C．She enjoyed being the focus of her friends.
D．She was considered fashionable in school.
26. Which of the following would the author agree with
A．Social media is the main cause of young people’s anxiety.
B．University students should return to using brick phones.
C．Easy access to the Internet is linked to mental health issues.
D．Smartphones bring more benefits than harm to mental health.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why I Miss My Nokia
B．The Rise of Smartphones
C．Social Media and Mental Health
D．How to Survive without a Smartphone
C
Planting a tree is one of the simplest ways you can make a small but meaningful difference to your local area. However, if you are new to this, you will soon meet one hot topic in gardening: should you add a stake (桩子) to help support your new sapling (树苗), or leave it naturally
Wander around almost any area with newly planted trees and you will see how widely the former is used, from tripods (三脚架) of metal poles to pairs of giant wooden stakes. But surprisingly, science proved long ago that using these tree supports is actually counterproductive.
In nature, the rocking that trees experience when blown by winds makes them grow stronger trunks and deeper roots. But staking trees prevents their normal development.
Staking not only stops the tree from moving naturally, but also forces all the bending (弯曲) to happen just above the tie. Instead of growing a wide, strong base that gets thinner towards the top, staked trees often thicken above the tie, creating a “top-heavy” trunk that is dangerously thin at the bottom. As soon as these stakes are removed, the weak trunks can no longer support the weight of the tree.
We also know that ties can cause significant harm to trees — even death — by stopping the flow of water and nutrients through their trunks as they grow. That is why researchers at Washington State University have pointed out that the need for staking new trees is actually a common mistake.
This doesn’t mean staking is always bad, however. A few studies have found that it can be beneficial under very specific conditions, such as preventing diseases and even death. However, the same team found that these benefits only apply to public trees cared for by professionals. For private gardeners, the opposite is true, as they often forget to remove the stakes at the right time.
So, for most home growers, the science is pretty clear: skip this step and get better results. You’re welcome.
28. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Requiring a lot of effort.
B．Working in a creative way.
C．Being extremely expensive.
D．Having a negative effect.
29. According to the passage, what might a tree look like if staked for too long
30. What do we know about staking from the paragraph 6
A．It is harmful to all kinds of trees all the time.
B．It works well on public trees tended by professionals.
C．Private gardeners always take away stakes in time.
D．Stakes can cure diseases of young trees completely.
31. Why does the author suggest skipping the step of staking
A．To save home growers the cost of buying wooden stakes.
B．To protect the environment from using too much metal.
C．To follow the latest fashion trends in modern gardening.
D．To allow trees to develop strength through natural rocking.
D
Once a popular destination for international visitors, Ein Gedi beach on the Dead Sea has been closed for five years. The area is now covered with dangerous sinkholes — deep holes in the ground caused by the sudden collapse (坍塌) of the surface. These holes appear because the lake’s water level is dropping so fast that the underground salt layers are dissolving (溶解), making the land dangerous to walk on.
The Dead Sea, shared by several neighboring regions, has been dying for years. In recent years, the unclear division of responsibility among those involved has led to the gradual disappearance of efforts to save it. Environmentalists warn that regional cooperation (合作) is the only key, yet this remains a significant challenge.
The crisis is both natural and man-made. The evaporation (蒸发) of the salty waters takes place because temperatures reach up to 50℃ in summer. The sea has also been affected by years of increasing water usage from the sea’s main source, the Jordan River. Local factories also use the water to get minerals (矿物). All of these result in an ecological disaster.
At the environment branch, Ohad Carny has been working on the Dead Sea issue for years. He said several solutions were being considered, including building a desalination (淡化) factory and a canal (运河) to bring in water from the Red Sea. One might ask: why not simply pour Red Sea water directly into the Dead Sea Scientists warn that this “quick fix” could be a disaster. Mixing the two different types of water might cause a chemical reaction, turning the famous blue Dead Sea into a milky white color.
Therefore, the plan shifted toward desalinating the water first, but this faces a major challenge. As Carny explains, the process is extremely expensive. “It doesn’t make economic sense to spend so much money to desalinate water just to fill the lake,” he said. In a region where every drop is precious, providing drinking water for people and agriculture must come first. Furthermore, because the Dead Sea is shared by several neighboring regions, any such project requires a shared agreement on costs and benefits. “We can’t do it alone. It must be a joint effort. So only time will tell, and we can’t do anything without an agreement together with the Jordanian side,” said Carny.
32. Why was the Ein Gedi beach closed to the public
A．Dangerous sinkholes appeared.
B．It was ruined by local factories.
C．Underground salt was used up.
D．The sea level went up sharply.
33. What might be a problem with the “quick fix” in paragraph 4
A．It would be too expensive to build the canal.
B．It could change the lake’s natural appearance.
C．The Red Sea water might not be salty enough.
D．It would lead to the appearance of more sinkholes.
34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A．Agriculture must be stopped to save the lake.
B．The canal project will solve the problem soon.
C．Technology is more important than cooperation.
D．Cooperation with neighbours makes the task manageable.
35. How does Ohad Carny feel about the current situation
A．Hopeful. B．Satisfied. C．Helpless. D．Confused.
第三部分 七选五
Walking seems automatic, but the sidewalk is a complex social ecosystem with its own unspoken laws. Violating (违反) them doesn’t result in a ticket. 36. ___ Here is how to ensure your daily walk is both efficient and polite.
Respect the Flow of Traffic. Imagine the sidewalk as a river. If you stop abruptly in the middle of the stream, you interrupt the current for everyone behind you. Before you pause to check your phone or tie your shoe, glance behind you. If someone is approaching, step to the side. 37. ___
Navigate the Dance of Passing. We have all been there: two people walking toward each other, both stepping left at the same time, then both stepping right, trapped in an awkward dance. 38. ___ By committing to a direction early, you allow the other person to adjust accordingly.
Manage Your Group Dynamics. While walking with friends is enjoyable, the person behind your group in a row might be forced to step into the street to get around you, putting them in danger. Be mindful of your width; if the path is crowded, drop into a single file line. 39. ___
Predictability is Safety. 40. ___ If you intend to cross a street, do not rush out from between parked cars. You should wait until you have a clear line of sight and make eye contact with oncoming traffic. When you act predictably, you make it easier for drivers to react.
Ultimately, being a considerate walker isn’t just about following rules; it’s about acknowledging that you share the space with others.
A．Yet it is hard to keep a conversation flowing in heavy traffic.
B．The river can flow around you without slowing down its pace.
C．A small shoulder shift or gaze change shows your chosen direction.
D．Drivers and cyclists rely on pedestrians (行人) behaving in expected ways.
E．The solution is simply to stop briefly and let the other person pass first.
F．These small adjustments prevent the confusion that leads to mid-walk crashes.
G．However, it does cause friction, frustration, and sometimes, physical collisions.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was ten years old, I met my best friend, Emily, on the first day of school. Our teacher happened to seat us next to each other, and within a week we were inseparable. We spent our afternoons drawing pictures, making up secret languages, and recording silly “radio shows” on an old tape recorder. Our families soon became close, and we often went camping together during the summer.
One evening, lying in sleeping bags under the stars, we made a promise. When we grew up, we would be each other’s bridesmaids (伴娘). At that age, we believed nothing could ever separate us.
But life doesn’t always follow childhood promises. At the end of sixth grade, Emily’s family moved to another state, nearly eleven hours away by car. We tried to keep in touch at first. We wrote letters, exchanged birthday cards, and even met once at a summer camp. Yet as the years passed, we slowly grew apart.
Years later, when I was planning my wedding, Emily’s name crossed my mind more than once. But so much time had passed that I hesitated to invite her, fearing it might be awkward. In the end, I didn’t invite her at all.
A few weeks after the wedding, I learned through social media that Emily had seen the photos. She sent me a short message saying she was surprised not to hear from me. I stared at her words for a long time, unsure how to reply. Instead of answering, I put down my phone and told myself I would respond later.
But “later” turned into months, and then years.
One autumn evening many years later, I watched my daughter laughing with her best friend in the backyard. The sight suddenly reminded me of my childhood with Emily — our laughter, our secrets, and the promise we had made long ago.
That night, after the house was quiet, I opened my phone and found Emily’s name again.
For a long moment, I stared at the blank message box.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My fingers hung over the keyboard as I wondered what I should say.

67.读后续写范文
My fingers hung over the keyboard as I wondered what I should say. I typed and deleted dozens of sentences, full of regret for my cowardice years ago. I admitted I’d been afraid of the long distance and the gap between us, so I avoided reaching out and broke our childhood promise carelessly. I told her watching my daughter play with her friend brought all our warm memories back, and I deeply missed every happy moment we shared. I ended the message with a sincere apology and a wish to reconnect.
A few minutes later, my phone suddenly lit up with a new message. It was from Emily. She said she had forgiven me long before and also missed me terribly. She still kept the old tape recorder we used together and never forgot our starry-night promise. We arranged a video call that night, chatting for hours as if we’d never been apart. Time and distance couldn’t erase our true friendship.
