With the rise of social media and the increasing number of online platforms, businesses have too
many options when it comes to promoting their products or services. We will compare some of the top
online advertising platforms to help you determine which one is right for you.
Google Ads: The Powerhouse of Online Advertising
When it comes to online advertising, Google Ads is undoubtedly the most powerful and widely used
platform with its mighty targeting options. Businesses can target specific keywords, demographics (人口

of precision ensures precise ads reaching.
Facebook Ads：Targeting Your Audience with Accuracy
Facebook Ads offers businesses various ad formats such as image ads, video ads, audio-visual ads,
and more to engage with their target audience effectively. One significant advantage Facebook Ads have
over other platforms is its advanced targeting abilities. With Facebook’s large user data, businesses can
target their ads based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and even life events. This level of accuracy

Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping her father
with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years behind didn’t hold
her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her intelligence, she ran away from
Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where her skill was evident.
The outbreak of World War II led to a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite of the fact
that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents,
producing explosives (爆炸物) for the wartime effort. She put her degree on hold and moved to Ohio,
taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the field of
aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA (North American Aviation). The only woman out of 900
engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket
propellants (推进剂) and designing special fuels to work with different engines. However, never having
returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer, even though
she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
Her experience with propellants meant that when NASA was tasked to find a fuel capable of lifting
the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Mogan was appointed technical lead on the project. National
pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating fuels. After countless trails, she finally designed
her own mixture, which was named Hydyne.
Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft (飞行器) , such as
Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign. The fuel
made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan silently slipped away from her
success, retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career behind.
24.What do we know about Mary?
A. She attended school while helping with farm work.
B. She was offered a job as a chemistry analyst after graduation.
C. She changed her working focus because her country’s demand changed.
D. She launched the first US satellite before retiring from her career.
25.What was Mary doing after the war ended?
A. Analyzing chemicals. B. Producing explosives.
C. Mixing and saving fuels. D. Designing and building aircraft.
26. What made Mary the technical lead on the project of NAA?
A. Her special knowledge in fuels. B. Her rank as an engineer.
C. Her discovery of Hydyne. D. Her sense of national pride
27.Which of the following words can describe Mary Sherman Morgan?
A. Caring and determined. B. Intelligent and skilful.C. Courageous but sensitive. D. Accomplished but proud.
C
Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns
your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial
information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you.
Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature
called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the
device and access important functions and settings.
Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to
lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and
take money from their bank accounts.
SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the
importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints,
which are a lot harder to copy.
If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to
confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any
other backup method.
Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings.
For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in
an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and
then do a second facial or fingerprint scan.
Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or
Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this
feature.
28. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To set a phone-stealing scene.
B. To introduce the following text.
C. To remind readers to be cautious.
D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss.
29. What is special about SDP ?
A. It stops iCloud files from being deleted.
B. It makes thieves not easy to enter the phone.
C. It secures Apple accounts with remote locking.
D. It prevents thieves from accessing bank accounts.
30. What does SDP require for resetting a stolen iPhone?
A. Previous passwords. B. A new security setting.
C. An Apple ID account. D. Identity confirmation.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. iPhone’s anti-theft measure. B. Apple ID security settings.
C. Usage of biometric features. D. Apple’s iOS operating system.
D
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to
describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard —
he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of
a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the
main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night
crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students
are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end
they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them
pseudo-working is work — it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never
crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about
pseudo-working. They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly
and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is
the optimal learning period to maximize the material learned per time unit.
So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is in the following simple formula:
work accomplished = time spent×intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.
Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A
student maximizes of focus in order to minimize time.
32. Which of the following phenomenon is an example of pseudo-working?
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Alice and Sara are sitting on the sofa reading their favorite books.
C. Mike is sitting in the study room in preparation for a final exam quietly.
D. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Negative effects of pseudo-working are not fully realized by many students.
B. Too much thinking may weaken the brain’s ability of the students.
C. Straight-A students believe some tasks are worth twice the effort.
D. Students will get good grades once they realize that pseudo-working is ineffective.
34. What does the underlined word “optimal’ mean in paragraph 5?
A. fast. B. best. C. least. D. effective.
35. Why does the author mention the formula in the text?
A. To show the benefit of working hard.B. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work.
C. To emphasize the importance of concentration.
D. To explain the reason for spending much time.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lightning (闪电) is a beautiful and inspiring phenomenon, but it can be deadly. Over the past 30 years,
lightning has killed an average of 67 people per year in the United States alone. 36 . Follow these
steps to safety the next time there’s lightning in the sky.
• Find shelter immediately
If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, never stand under a tree, and avoid being close to
power lines as they’re both excellent conductors (导体) of electricity and could potentially cause death, if
not serious injury. 37 . It’s the key to minimizing danger.
• Watch out for dangers
Windows provide a direct path for the lightning to travel. Keep windows closed, stay away from them
and try to stay within inner rooms of the structure. 38 . Using a landline phone is the main cause of
lightning-related injuries. Lightning can travel into the home from through any material that conducts
electricity. This includes landlines, electrical wiring, and plumbing(管道).
• 39
Being near water is extremely dangerous during a lightning storm, so move away from the body of
water. If you are fishing, swimming or on a boat, get out of the water immediately and hurry back to the
bank.
• Stay inside
Stay inside at least 30 minutes after the last strike. Don’t go out just because the rain is starting to let
up. There is still a significant risk of lightning strikes from a departing storm. 40 .
Lightning is dangerous but you can minimize your risk. The advice is simple: increase the awareness
of avoiding danger and master proper knowledge to protect yourself from a thunderstorm.
A．Get away from the water
B．Prepare enough water
C．Go to hospital quickly
D．Don’t touch anything metal or electrical
E．Find shelter near or under a stony shelter
F．Wait for news that the danger has passed
G．Fortunately, most lightning-related deaths are preventable

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。
At nine years old, Amy went through more than the usual amount of excitement and change for a girl.
In the past few months, her stable life had been turned upside down when her father lost his job. This
brought about a series of events, including her parents losing their beautiful home and forcing their family
into a fifteen-foot trailer(拖车) they had previously only used for weekend camping trips.
Life in the trailer was tough, yet it was filled with warmth. Though her family possessed（拥有）
little, their door was never closed to those who had even less. Never will she forget the first time they
squeezed onto the tiny couch(长沙发) together, which doubled as her parents’ bed at night. One evening, as
her mother was checking the last food they had, her voice trembled（颤抖）, “We don’t have enough food
to last the week.” Hearing this, Amy was seized by a sense of sadness, like a huge stone settled in her heart.
Moments later, her mother rose to prepare the simplest chicken dinner. Amy wandered outside where
her dad was working on their broken-down truck. Just then, a middle-aged man with dirty clothes came out
from a winding path. Coming right up to them, the man whispered in hesitation with a mix of shame and
hope, “I... I am a hiker and have got lost. I’m hungry and wondering if you have any food to spare.”
Amy’s heart tightened, countless thoughts racing in her mind. They didn’t even have enough food for
themselves. The chicken for dinner wouldn’t even fill three plates. “But the man seems to be in greater need
of food than we do,” she thought to herself.
注意:

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to share my views on using AI to assist with homework. AI is undoubtedly a useful tool
that provides instant feedback and enriches learning resources, which can boost study efficiency . However,
it risks becoming a substitute for thinking if overused, harming our ability to think independently.
To use AI properly, here are two suggestions. First, treat AI as a "learning partner" rather than a
"doer". Finish drafts independently before checking with AI and analyzing differences . Second, avoid
relying on it for basic tasks like vocabulary exercises, as this weakens our foundational skills .
Only by using AI rationally can we truly benefit from it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Para1: “Of course!” The words escaped Amy before she even realized it. She turned to her dad, who
nodded without hesitation. With light steps, Amy went inside and told her mum. They invited the man to
have dinner together and Amy’s mother divided the chicken into four portions instead of three, the biggest
share for him. The man’s face lit up with gratitude as he took a bite, “The most delicious chicken in my
life.” As they ate together in the trailer, laughter bubbled up—stories were shared, and for a moment, the
bitterness of their life was left behind. After dinner, her father showed the hiker the right way. He thanked
them repeatedly and set off for return journey.
Para2: Days later, the hiker returned with a big bag. Inside the bag were some canned foods, fresh bread
and even a small bag of candies for Amy. “I couldn’t forget your kindness,” he explained gratefully. Amy
hugged him, her eyes sparkling, while her father clapped him on the back like an old friend. That evening,
they had a big meal, a warm atmosphere flowing in the trailer, as if hope itself knocked on their door. The
hiker’s behavior not only filled their stomachs but also warmed their hearts. It was a reminder that even in
the darkest times, kindness has a way of circling back when least expected.

impressive.
W: I see your point, but isn't it okay to use AI as a tool? I mean, it's everywhere now.
M: It's fine to use it for information gathering or brainstorming, but don't forget to stand up for yourself as a

Welcome to the South Africa wildlife experience programme. First, I’ll tell you about the working
hours. The morning part runs from around 10 am to 1:00 p.m.. A lunch break then follows, with the
afternoon part usually running from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.. In the evenings, there are animal shows and
cross cultural dance shows, or volunteers can relax in the swimming pool, in the tennis club or in the
reading room. But I only like reading.
Now, I’d like to tell you some of the things you can expect to do during the week. You’ll record
animals and count animals. You’ll go to educational lectures and classroom activities. You plant trees.
You’ll help little animal babies that have no parents. You’ll feed and take care of elephants. Most volunteers
like spending time with the elephants. Each volunteer will play a big part. Not only will you be playing a
key role in saving the valuable wild animals for today’s people, but also you’ll protect them for the future
generations.
Thanks for joining us.
