Debating（辩论）changed my life.
I grew up extremely shy and spent most of my time avoiding people looking at me. As for public speaking, it
was always something that gave me high amounts of stress when I was in primary school. I didn’t have any friends
and felt lonely, having no one to talk to.After I became a junior high schooler. I decided that I was going to change that. At the end of a Monday, a
poster of the school debate team caught my attention. I took a deep breath and walked the long hallway to the
debate coach’s room, alone. Although I was scared to death, I introduced myself to the coach. Mrs. Brown. I was
met with a warm smile and understanding of my fears. Little did I know, I was beginning one of the most important
journeys of my life.
In the debate team, I met students from other classes. After several training classes, we became friends. It was
the first time I made some friends. When the debates began, I didn’t want to lose friends I cared about, so I oflen
pretended（假装）to agree with them or I just said “let’s agree to disagree”.
In another round, I only brought up some soft anguments. Mrs. Brown noticed this and she told me, “Alice,
true friends have heated debates with each other and still remain friends after that. If a friendslip depends on
winning or losing a debate about any subject, it isn’t much of a real friendship.” Then I started trying my best to
prepare for all debates with my partners, coming up with arguments, and facing off against the opponents（对手）.
Surprisingly, it brought us closer and helped me form a connection not only with my partners but also with my
opponents.
Six years later, I can say that my strongest friendships started from arguing with strangers. They stood by me
when I was going through hard times, and those moments shaped me into the person I am today.
30. How did the writer feel about public speaking in primary school?
A. Excited. B. Confident. C. Stressed. D. Bored.
31. To avoid losing friends in the debate team, the writer ________.
A. tried her best to beat other debaters B. kept meeting students from other classcs

A. Real friends debate quite a lot when they are together.
B. Real fricnds debate with each other but remain friends.
C. Real friendships are usually built upon heated debates.
D. Real friendships depend on winning or losing a debate.

Climate Change Likely to Reduce the Amount of Sleep
Most research on the influence of climate change has focused on how extreme weather affects economy and
the society. Yet climate change may also have a strong influence on daily human activities. In a study published in
the journal One Earth, researchers report that increasing environment temperatures negatively influence human
sleep around the world.
The team says their findings suggest that by the year 2099, increasing temperatures may erode（侵蚀）50 to
58 hours of sleep per person per year. In addition, the temperature effect on sleep loss is stronger for people from
lower income（收入）countries as well as for older adults and females.
“Sleep is important to human health and productivity,” says the first author Kelton Minor of the University of
Copenhagen. “In this study, we provide enough evidence that warmer-than-average temperatures erode human
sleep by making people fall asleep later and wake up earlier.” The researchers collected global sleep data（数据）
which included 7 million nightly sleep records from more than 47,000 adults across 68 countries. The results
showed that on very warm nights when the temperature is greater than 30℃, sleep decreases an average of just over
14 minutes. The likelihood of getting less than seven hours of sleep also increases.
“Humans’ body temperature is fixed,” Minor says. “Every night our bodies have to shed（散发）heat into thesurrounding environment by increasing blood flow to our hands and feet. In order for our bodies to shed heat, the
surrounding environment needs to be cooler than we are.”
Early controlled studies found that both humans and animals sleep worse when the room temperature is too
hot or too cold. However, the recent research found that people feel far better living in colder outside temperatures
than hotter conditions. “Across seasons and different climates, the amount of sleep loss increases as temperatures
become hotter,” Minor says.
One important finding was that people in developing countries seem to be more influenced by these changes.
It’s possible that the wider use of air conditioning in developed countries could play a role.
In the future, the team would like to work with global climate scientists, sleep researchers, and technology
providers to do further research on the sleep and behavior changes of other populations and countries.
33. According to the passage, on a very warm night, you could probably ________.
A. sleep less than seven hours B. sleep outdoors to cool down
C. be more energetic than usual D. be troubled by your noisy pet
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The results of earlier studies. B. Different methods of doing research.
C. Reasons for making controlled studies. D. The new findings of the recent research.
35. How did Kelton Minor study the influence of climate change on sleep?
A. By doing experiments in labs. B. By making a guess and proving it.
C. By collecting and comparing data. D. By finding mistakes in early studies.
【答案】33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍气候变化可能会减少睡眠时间。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The results showed that on very warm nights when the temperature is greater than 30℃,
sleep decreases an average of just over 14 minutes. The likelihood of getting less than seven hours of sleep also
increases.”可知，结果表明，在温度大于30℃的非常温暖的夜晚，睡眠时间平均减少了14分钟多一点。睡
眠不足7小时的可能性也会增加。所以在一个非常温暖的晚上，你可能睡不到7个小时。故选A。
【34题详解】
段落大意题。分析第五段内容，尤其是“However, the recent research found that...”可知，重点介绍了最近的
研究发现，故选D。

Also known as self-control and self-discipline, willpower is not a new concept. But we still do not have
common awareness as to how to develop it. Many people believe they could improve their lives if only they had
more willpower. With more self-control, we would all eat right, exercisc regularly, save for retirement, and achieve
all sorts of goals.
Unfortunately, most people find it hard to say no to immediate pleasure. So how can we fight against
temptation. In recent years, scicntists have made some discoveries about the ways that willpower works. This report
will explore our current understanding of self-control.
University of Pennsylvania psychologists Angela Duckworth. Ph.D., and Martin Seligman, Ph.D., explored
self-control in eighth-graders over the course of the school year. The researchers first examined the students’ self-
discipline by having teachers, parents, and the students themselves complete questionnaires. They also gave
students a task in which they had the choice of receiving S1 immediately or waiting a week to receive S2.
The researchers found that students who ranked high on self-discipline had better grades, and they were more
likely to be admitted to a competitive high school program. Self-discipline, they found, was more important than IQ
的
in predicting academic（学术 ）success.
Other studies have noticed similar patterns. June Tangney. Ph.D., of George Mason University, and colleagues
compared willpower by asking university students to complete questionnaires designed to measure their self-
control. The scientists also created a scale（量表）to score the student’s relative willpower strength. They found
out that the students’ self-control scores were connccted with higher scores, higher self-esteem less binge（放纵）
eating, and better relationship skills.The benefits of willpowcr seem to exist beyond the college years. Terrie Moffitt.Ph.D., of Duke University,
and colleagues studied self-control in a group of 1,000 individuals from their birth to age 32 as part of a long-term
health study in Dunedin, New Zealand. Mofflitt and her colleagues found that individuals with high self-control in
childhood grew into adults with greater physical and mental health, better savings behavior, and financial security.
Those patterns held even after the researchers controlled for the children’s socioeconomic status, home lives,
and general intelligence. Such findings showed the importance of willpower in nearly all areas of life. However, the
most common stress coping strategies are also the least effective ones, such as playing video games, surfing the
Internet, and watching TV or movies for more than 2 hours. All in all, we all have willpower and we all need it. But
most of us would be closer to achieving all our goals if we focused on improving our willpower.
36. The word “temptation” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. feelings B. habits C. wants D. questions
37. What can we learn about willpower from the passage?
A. Willpower is connected with better academic performance.
B. Students with good relationship skills have weak willpower.
C. Students in competitive high schools have stronger willpower.
D. Willpower is less important than IQ in predicting academic success.

九、阅读与表达。（共10分，每小题2分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Nowadays with the use of at least one social media platform (平台), you are often logged into a few social
media accounts (账户) at the same time. Most websites allow social logins through a number of common
platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo. So it’s no hard to understand social logins are quite popular today. But is it
safe to use a social login? Here’s what you need to know about these helpful online tools.
There are a few benefits of social logins. First, because of social logins, it’s not necessary to remember a
password. Second, social logins take less time than it takes to enter a username and password. What’s more, social
logins may be connected to payment, such as signing into a newspaper app through Alipay. So many users choose
social logins for their speed and convenience over safety.Is it safe to sign in with a social media account like WeChat? The answer to this depends on your online
behavior preferences.
When you use a social login, you’re turning over your data and information to both the social network and the
third-party app or the website you’re logging into — though it can be difficult to know exactly what is being
shared. As a result, if either of these sources suffers a data breach (泄露), your personal information may be stored
or sold without your knowledge.
There are ways to avoid these breaches of personal information. First, make sure to check which platforms are
connected to your social media accounts regularly, and take notes of the details you share. Second, change your
privacy (隐私) settings on each platform to make sure that you share as little as possible.
In a word, your social logins can be as private and safe as you make them. If you’re already fine with handing
your data over to the social media platforms you use, social logins may not be such a big deal for you. The choice is
yours, so think about the advantages and disadvantages to make it wisely!

didn’t think her friends would ____59____.
Mr. Matthews, the assistant in the Old People’s House, greeted her at the door and joked if she kept coming
here to act for the old people, they would pay her. He then laughed at his joke and held the door open for her.
For Rose, acting was just as much fun for her as it was for the old people here. She walked to the dressing
room and opened her backpack. Her purple dress was inside, getting wrinkled. But how else could she get her
costumes here to perform for the old people here? She then smiled and held up the dress. The show she was
____60____on for them was called Rapuncel.

“I was just going to ask you the same thing. I followed you from the bus.”
“I didn’t see you on the bus. I thought you had a bascball match.” Rose said, not sure if she was ready to tell
Tyler what she’d been doing. No one knew she wanted to be an actress when she grew up.
“It has been put off because the coach is sick.”
“Oh. Well, I am just here visiting Uncle Albert.”
Uncle Albert cocked his head, “I thought you were performing Rapuncel for us.”“Rapuncel? Are you putting on shows for the old people here?” Tyler asked.

十三、阅读理解（共8分，每小题2分）
阅读下列短文。根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Lie down, but don’t be beaten down.
“Tang ping”, or “lie down”, has become a buzzword among young Chinese people recently. It is used to
describe youngsters who give up all ambitions of achieving worldly success in life, and instead do the least to get
by. Such people prefer to lie down, lower their desire for buying new things, and keep themselves far away from
competition for fame and money.
Many say such people don’t want to work hard for a better life. Others say those who “lie down” decide to
avoid the unreasonable fierce competition at school and work, looking for new ways of developing their career and
leading a meaningful life.
It’s no good criticizing the young generation for “lying down” before finding out why they choose to do so.
The fierce competition for a good college, the tiring 996 work schedule（working from 9 am to 9 pm, six days
a week）, and the skyrocketing house prices frustrate（使挫败）many young people. Some even believe no
matter how hard they try, they will fail. In this case, why not lie down in the first place?
Instead of taking part in “involution”（内卷）, which gives people a burned-out feeling and makes
individual efforts less worthwhile in involuntary （不自愿的）competitions, these young people would rather live
a different life, focusing more on their personal development than success.
This trend of “lying down” requires attention but there is no need to panic. On the one hand, it serves as awarning to prevent the country from sliding into a low-desire society, as happened in Japan, where an aging
population and a large number of young people who have lost their passion are destroying the economy. On the
other hand, the phrase serves more as self-mockery（自嘲）, and thus serious criticism is not necessary. Young
people also like to call themselves “corporate slaves”（社畜）though they mean no harm to the company. These
fun terms help them find people alike and feel better.
Luckily, the government and more companies are seeking solutions to ease the pressure of the young. For
instance, Bye-Dance Technology made new rules last November to discourage staff from working overtime. The
company told its employees not to work beyond 7 pm. In recent years, the government is also putting growing
efforts into lowering housing prices and providing public rental housing.
Success shouldn’t be measured by fame and money only. People from all walks of life deserve equal respect.
For young people, what they really desire is being seen. Actually, Chinese young people are fulfilling their duties
well. The average age of more than 67,000 scientists and engineers who devote themselves to China’s aerospace
cause is only 36 years old. And many excel in ordinary jobs. They live on their own, support their families, and
contribute to the society with their work. They may lie down for a while when they are tired, but they will never be
beaten down.
65. The underlined word “burned-out” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. exhausted B. scared C. worried D. shocked
66. What can we learn about the trend of “lying down” from the passage?
A. It prevents the country from sliding into a low-desire society.
B. It started in Japan, where “involution” destroyed the economy.
C. It happens in big cities because work hours are long and house prices are high.
D. It requires little serious criticism as young people use it to make fun of themselves.
67. What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?
A. What society has done to help young people.
B. How Chinese young people ease their pressure.
C. How companies stop young people from “lying down”.
D. What responsibilities the society has for young people.
68. The writer would probably agree that ________.
A. it is necessary to respect people who refuse to “lie down”
B. some young people “lie down” to get ready for future life
C. the people who excel in ordinary jobs should be better paid
D. it is fine for some people to lie down as long as they succeed【答案】65. A 66. D 67. A 68. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了“躺平”和“内卷”等社会热点现象。
【65题详解】
词句猜测题。分析“Instead of taking part in ‘involution’, which gives people a burned-out feeling and makes
individual efforts less worthwhile in involuntary competitions, these young people would rather live a different life,
focusing more on their personal development than success.”可知，这些年轻人宁愿过一种不一样的生活，更关
注个人发展而不是成功，而不是“内卷”，这给人一种筋疲力尽的感觉，让个人的努力在非自愿的竞争中
变得不那么有价值。所以此处burned-out的意思是“筋疲力尽的”，故选A。
【66题详解】
推理判断题。根据“This trend of ‘lying down’ requires attention but there is no need to panic. On the one hand,
it serves as a warning to prevent the country from sliding into a low-desire society, as happened in Japan, where an
aging population and a large number of young people who have lost their passion are destroying the economy. On
the other hand, the phrase serves more as self-mockery, and thus serious criticism is not necessary.”可知，这种
“躺平”的趋势需要关注，但没有必要恐慌。一方面，它是一个警告，防止国家滑向低欲望社会，就像在
日本发生的那样，人口老龄化和大量失去激情的年轻人正在摧毁经济。另一方面，这句话更多的是自嘲，
因此没有必要进行严肃的批评。选项D“它不需要严肃的批评，因为年轻人用它来取笑自己”表述正确，故
选D。
【67题详解】
段落大意题。分析第七段内容可知，本段主要介绍政府和更多的公司正在寻求缓解年轻人压力的解决方案，
选项A“社会为帮助年轻人做了什么”符合段意，故选A。
【68题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Others say those who ‘lie down’ decide to avoid the unreasonable fierce competition at
school and work, looking for new ways of developing their career and leading a meaningful life.”可知，有人说那
些“躺平”的人是为了避免在学校和工作中不合理的激烈竞争，寻找发展事业的新途径，过有意义的生活。
由此可知，一些年轻人“躺平”是为未来的生活做准备。故选B。
