If you wanted to make a Disney-style animation （动画） of, say, Reggie, a spirited
rabbit, planning to save his forest, you'd have a lead animator draw the extremes of the
action: Reggie looking intensely focused, and then proudly announcing, "There's a new hero
in the forest!" Then you'd bring in an in-betweener that is, the animator who draws all the
comprehensive frames that bridge the major actions.
In-betweeners don't get the glory, but without them cartoons would hop from one emo-
tional peak to another, missing connective grace. Burny Mattinson（1935-2023） started his
学科网（北京）股份有限公司career at the Walt Disney Company in the mailroom, and, even though he had no formal
training in animation, he was given a swing at in-betweening just six months later.
His first big assignment was to in-between the wagging of a dog's tail. Disney anima-
tion was famous for its silky elegance, owing in no small part to the skill of its in-be-
tweeners, and, thanks to Mattinson, the tail practically glided from side to side.
Mattinson had wanted to be an animator ever since his mother had taken him to see
"Pinocchio" at a theatre when he was six. In a bold move, Mattinson showed up at the
Disney Studios gate with his portfolio （作品） as soon as he finished high school. The
magical part of this story is that, instead of shooing him away, the security guard liked his
drawings and called the head of personnel to take a look.
Thus, Mattinson became a messenger at Disney, beginning a career that would eventu-
ally make him the employee with the longest service at the company. He had joined the
company at a golden moment. Listing the films that he worked on is a little like listing the
entire output of the Walt Disney Company over the past six decades: "Sleeping Beauty,
""The Lion King, and on and on.
Mattinson was, perhaps, one of the last of an almost extinct genotype-the happy com-
pany man, the lifer. He never had an employer besides Disney. When asked what Mattin-
son enjoyed doing outside of his life at Disney, his son said, "He just loved his work."
24. What role do in-betweeners play in animation production?
A. Design the storyline. B. Draw the background.
C. Invent extreme actions. D. Generate smooth motion.
25. Which of the following can best describe Mattinson's path to Disney?
A. Unconventional. B. Typical. C. Illegal. D. Accidental.
26. What makes Mattinson exceptional in Disney's history?
A. His lifelong dedication to Disney.
B. His detailed work as an in-betweener.
C. His passion for animation beyond work.
D. His pioneering role in Disney animation.
27. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A biographical sketch.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. A news report. D. A critical review.
C
Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. People compare how many
"likes" they have on social media. Billionaires envy multibillionaires. The legendary
NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt once stated, "Second place is just the first loser".
Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always
lead to human prosperity. On the contrary, left unmanaged, it can create misery for our-
selves and others. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem without unrealisti-
cally suggesting that we entirely dispense with our competitive urge: Instead of always go-
ing for gold, shoot for the bronze.
To expand on the wisdom of Earnhardt, although second place may be the first loser,
third place can be the real winner - at least when it comes to happiness and longevity （长
寿）. Recent research suggested that the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on
average than the silver medalists. Regarding the life span of all three medalist categories, it
was found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists
beat this by a solid four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze
medalists, who lived to 78.
The study had a handy explanation for this distinction: "Dissatisfactory competition out-
comes may badly affect health." In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first
loser because they only look up to the top step, whereas the bronze winners compare them-
selves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium （领奖台） at all.
One of the problems with most competitions against others is that it tends to lower
one's inner motivation, and thus enjoyment. Decades ago, researchers showed this by asking
people to solve puzzles and then measuring the interest they reported: They found the puz-
zles less rewarding when competing against others rather than against the clock. Simply
having a time limit means competing against themselves-which is often more fun. The prin-
ciple at work here is that trying to improve your own past performance provides a sense not
of "winning" but of progress. And the only person to whom you will have to compare
yourself is you.
28. What does the underlined words "dispense with" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. Stick to. B. Get rid of. C. Depend on. D. Take charge of.
29. In which situation will people be most likely to feel good about themselves?
A. Treat competitions as all or nothing.
B. Aim to outperform others in competitions.
C. Check out others' victories on social media.
D. Compare themselves with those less fortunate.
30. According to the last paragraph, ______boosts enjoyment in tasks.
A. achieving personal bests B. making peer comparisons
C. gaining public recognition D. pursuing downward competition
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Always Going for Gold B. The Victory of Coming in Third
C. Finding Satisfaction in Comparison D. Second Place is Just the First Loser

Over 2, 000 years ago, Baiae was the most magnificent resort town in Italy. Wealthy
statesmen including Cicero and Caesar were once drawn to its natural springs. But over the
centuries, volcanic activity submerged this playground of the Roman nobility -leaving half
of it beneath the Mediterranean.
Today, Baiae is one of the world's few underwater archaeological parks open to visi-
tors wanting to explore the remains of the ancient Roman city. A protected marine area, the
site needs to be monitored for damage caused by divers and environmental factors. How-
ever, explains Davidde, Italy's national supervisor for underwater cultural heritage, "commu-
nication underwater is challenging."
Cabled systems are the most reliable, but they are difficult to maintain and cover a
limited operational area. And wireless internet doesn't work well in water, because of the
way water interacts with electromagnetic waves.
So Davidde teamed up with a group of engineers led by Chiara Petrioli, a professor at
Sapienza University. Petrioli's team has developed a network of underwater wireless sensors
capable of gathering environmental data and transmitting it to land in real time. The system
relies on AI algorithms （算法） to constantly change the network protocol（网络协议）.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司As the sea conditions change, the algorithms adjust the information path, allowing the sig-
nal to travel up to two kilometers and data to be sent between transmitters one kilometer
apart.
At Baiae, underwater internet allows remote, continuous monitoring of environmental
conditions. Besides, it allows divers to communicate with one another and with colleagues
above the surface, who can also use the technology to locate them with a high degree of
accuracy.
Davidde anticipates that the network will be available to tourists visiting the archaeo-
logical site in the coming months. As they swim over the ruins, visitors will use water-
proof smart tablets to communicate and to view 3D reconstructions of the ruins.
"Underwater internet has made monitoring of the archaeological site simpler and more
efficient," says Davidde. "At the same time, we can offer the public a new, interactive way
to explore the underwater park."
32. What do we know about Baiae?
A. It was famous for natural springs.
B. It is a playground for sports lovers.
C. It was destroyed by human activity.
D. It is unattractive to adventurous visitors.
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Applications of underwater internet.
B. Development of underwater network.
C. Challenges of underwater communication.
D. Conditions of the underwater environment.
34. What is the underwater network capable of doing?
A. Allowing divers to locate themselves.
B. Marking the information path to the surface.
C. Bringing new life into submerged Roman ruins.
D. Making it easier to monitor archaeological sites.
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To explain underwater communication.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. To analyze the effect of climate change.
C. To introduce a new underwater network.
D. To promote a new way to explore Baiae.

Yes, You're Addicted to Your Phone
When you wake up in the morning the first thing you do is roll over and look at
your phone, and the last thing that happens before you go to sleep is that you drop it on
your face as you look at gardening YouTube videos until you collapse from exhaustion.
36 You take it with you to the bathroom and look at its screen for hours a
day as life goes on around you.
You dropped it in the toilet the other day as you scrolled through Instagram. You
dived into the bowl, rescuing it from certain disaster as it landed in a （mostly） dry situ-
ation. 3 7 What to do? You know if you turn it on it might fry the whole thing. 3 8

wonder what to do.

thoughts for the first time in months. You have... feelings. Boredom. Insecurity. Loneliness.

ping that means you have a new critical piece of information to consume, but it's just the
microwave letting you know your son's popcorn is done.
What can we do? First, respect the fact that a smartphone and its apps are danger-
ously addictive. Moreover, delete social media apps such as TikTok, Instagram, and Face-
book from your phone. You can look at them on your computer on your own time. 4 0

"Whoa, boy," Sarai said, holding out a hand to her horse. "You heard what Dad said
yesterday. If I can't get this halter（缰绳） on you today, we'll have to send you back to
the rescue farm. I don't want to send you back. Don't you want to stay with me?"
She searched around in the bag. Inside were a variety of yummy horse treats. "Let's
try this again, Amadore." Sarai pulled out an apple-flavored biscuit and held it out, palm
flat. The horse reached toward her hand with his nose, sniffing her.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司She held her own breath so as not to scare him. Another inch and she could touch
his silky, soft nose. In her excitement, she rushed it and took a step forward. Amadore
snorted and stumbled back into the far comer of the stall（马厩）.
She frowned （皱眉） at his response to her, brokenhearted.
"I know what your problem is," a voice said from the stall door. Sarai threw a look
over her shoulder, "Who are you?"
"I'm Cody, the boy said, smiling. "And I know what your problem is. It's your face,"
"Excuse me?" Sarai's eyebrows hit the roof, and her fists clenched in instant anger.
"How dare you!" She turned on her heel to walk out of the stall, but Cody called out to
her.
"No, no. I didn't mean anything bad. You're not ugly or anything. It's your frown."
Sarai frowned at him.
"Yes, like that," Cody said, recovering some of his cheer. "You're frowning at
Amadore when you're approaching him."
Sarai half rolled her eyes. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"How about we do a little experiment?" Cody suggested. "Here's the camera. Can you
take two photos for me? In one, I'll flash a big, toothy smile, and in the other, I'll show
an angry face with my teeth out."
A minute later Cody and Sarai ran off to print the pictures.
"Now," said Cody, once they were back at the stall. "I'll show him the pictures."
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Cody stepped in, holding the "happy" photo in front of his face like a mask.
