In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that occupied little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could show their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless outfit (全套服装) and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own idea of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was wonderful,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig (假发) on top of its head and tell the doll that it’s time to be beautiful again.”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism (应对机制) during an extremely unhappy time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the women’s retail market.
B. To appeal to boys with her various clothing.
C. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
D. To do a research on women’s career choices.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Interested yet proud. B. Sad yet comforted.
C. Delighted and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family
A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships.
C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of argument.
27. Which newspaper section is the text probably taken from
A. Medicine. B. Sports. C. Story. D. Environment.
C
In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well occurring. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality (道德) and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk-tuks, are rapidly replacing gas-powered ones on the streets. Such electric vehicles are climate friendly, cost effective, and help reduce air pollution.
Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles shows a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries (铅酸电池), containing almost 300 pounds of lead (铅) in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leaks into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable (高利润的) but deadly business.
Lead is dangerous, and any exposure to it is harmful to human health. Lead that has entered the environment hurts people on an unexpected scale. The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare cause one of the biggest environmental problems in the world yet receives little attention.
The World Bank estimates that lead kills 5.5 million people per year, making it a bigger global killer than AIDS, malaria, diabetes, and road traffic deaths combined. On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is heavy, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive (认知的) effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.
But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that can be resolved through financial investment (财政投入). Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the unpleasant effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.
28. How does the author describe the lead problem in paragraph 2
A. By listing some numbers. B. By analyzing hidden causes.
C. By making an interesting comparison. D. By explaining its working principle.
29. What can we learn about lead’s harm from the text
A. Lead enters poor countries in one way.
B. Lead leaking has been avoided in all the countries.
C. Lead will definitely not harm anymore.
D. Lead poisoning may make poor societies poorer.
30. What can be done to solve lead poisoning in developing countries
A. Fixing these used batteries. B. Reducing the cost of recycling lead.
C. Ignoring the illegal use of lead. D. Putting certain effort and money.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Impacts of Lead Poisoning on Man.
B. The Global Lead Poisoning Problem.
C The Ways to Solve Lead Problem.
D. The Benefits of Using Electric Vehicles.
D
Digital reading (数字阅读) appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in fact illiterate (文盲). This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many attractions to read in a casual and scattered (零散的) manner— or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been necessary to civilization. It made the understanding and an international increase in empathy (共鸣). Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic (后疫情时期) reading scores for American13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy (读写能力) in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of thoughtful reading slow reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to catch the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning and scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old boy told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from websites. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine opinions.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University predicted in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” reads long texts, which is worrying.
32. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1
A. Digital reading has weakened the practice of deep reading.
B. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.
D. Digital reading has caused a greater appreciation for deep reading.
33. What’s the second paragraph mainly about
A. Digital reading’s great popularity. B. The importance of deep reading.
C. American students’ reading skills. D. The lowering of the level of literacy.
34. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Functions. B. Depths. C. Shortcomings. D. Features.
35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Measures to practice deep reading.
C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Benefits of lower-level reading.

Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.( 然而,只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖,就会发现一个有毒的秘密:每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的,总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右,当这些电池需要更换和回收时,大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行,这是一项高利润但致命的业务。)”作者通过用具体数字列出嘟嘟车铅酸电池中铅的量来说明目前所面临的铅污染问题;由此可知,作者通过列出令人信服的数字来说明目前的铅问题。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.(在发展中国家,铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭——以及它对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害——造成了世界上最大的环境危机之一,但却很少受到关注。)”以及第四段中“On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.(除了令人震惊的死亡之外,铅中毒的社会负担是巨大的,就像它对全球不平等的贡献一样——我们对铅中毒的认知影响的研究表明,它可以解释富国和穷国之间教育成就差距的五分之一。)”可知,在发展中国家,铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭,对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害,不仅造成死亡还带来极大的社会负担,使贫穷的社会更贫穷。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.(但是,与发展中国家面临的许多挑战不同,铅中毒是一个可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资来解决的问题。更好的监测、研究和规则可以帮助保护世界各地的儿童免受铅中毒的可怕影响,并减少其带来的巨大全球成本。)”可知,发展中国家可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资,进行更好的监测、研究以及制定规则来解决铅污染和铅中毒问题;由此可知,发展中国家可以通过投入一定的努力和金钱解决铅中毒问题。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend.(在西方富裕国家,电动汽车革命正在如火如荼地进行。有气候意识的消费者出于道德和时尚的原因驾驶特斯拉或北极星。较贫穷的国家也正在经历一波电气化趋势。)”以及第二段“Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries, containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.(然而,只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖,就会发现一个有毒的秘密:每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的,总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右,当这些电池需要更换和回收时,大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行,这是一项高利润但致命的业务。)”可知,全球都在发展电动汽车,经历电气化,但是铅酸电池中的铅是危险的;下文主要阐述了铅中毒给社会和健康带来的极大危害;由此可知,文章主要讲述目前发展电动汽车带来的铅污染问题、世界上铅中毒的严峻形势及其给社会和健康带来的极大危害;B选项“The Global Lead Poisoning Problem (全球铅中毒问题)”能够概括文章主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选B。
D
Digital reading (数字阅读) appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in fact illiterate (文盲). This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many attractions to read in a casual and scattered (零散的) manner— or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been necessary to civilization. It made the understanding and an international increase in empathy (共鸣). Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic (后疫情时期) reading scores for American13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy (读写能力) in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of thoughtful reading, slow reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to catch the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning and scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old boy told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from websites. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine opinions.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University predicted in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” reads long texts, which is worrying.
32. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1
A. Digital reading has weakened the practice of deep reading.
B. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.
D. Digital reading has caused a greater appreciation for deep reading.
33. What’s the second paragraph mainly about
A. Digital reading’s great popularity. B. The importance of deep reading.
C. American students’ reading skills. D. The lowering of the level of literacy.
34. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Functions. B. Depths. C. Shortcomings. D. Features.
35. What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Measures to practice deep reading.
C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Benefits of lower-level reading.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了数字阅读对深度阅读习惯的破坏性影响,以及深度阅读在文明和人类发展中的重要性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. (数字阅读似乎正在破坏“深度阅读”的习惯)”和“The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.(数字领域可能比历史上任何时候都促进了更多的阅读,但它也提供了许多诱惑,以肤浅和分散的方式阅读——甚至根本不阅读。这越来越危及更高水平的阅读)”可知,数字阅读削弱了深度阅读的实践。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been necessary to civilization. It made the understanding and an international increase in empathy (共鸣). Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic (后疫情时期) reading scores for American13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy (读写能力) in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.(这很可怕,因为“更高层次的阅读”对文明来说是必要的。它使理解和同情的国际增长。没有它,我们会遭受很多痛苦。正如《卢布尔雅那宣言》所指出的,“多达三分之一的欧洲人甚至在较低水平的阅读技能上挣扎。”超过五分之一的美国成年人“属于文盲/功能性文盲”。另外,大流行后美国13岁儿童的阅读分数是几十年来最低的。总部位于华盛顿的全球发展中心最近估计,在过去的半个世纪里,南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区接受过5年教育的儿童的识字率下降了10%)”可知,第二段的主要内容是文化水平的降低。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.”(《卢布尔雅那宣言》的专家们记录了数字阅读的demerits:“最近各种各样的研究表明,批判性阅读、有意识阅读、慢读、非战略性阅读和长篇阅读的数量正在下降。”)”中“a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading(批判性阅读、有意识阅读、慢速阅读、非策略阅读和长篇阅读的减少)”可知,这些都是数字阅读盛行带来的问题和弊端,所以划线词demerits意为“缺点,弊端 ”。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, as professors from Northwestern University predicted in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” reads long texts, which is worrying.(简而言之,正如西北大学的教授们在2005年所预见的那样,我们正在回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代,这令人担忧)”可知,文章最后表达了作者对现状的担忧,害怕我们会回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代。由此推知,作者接下来可能会就如何练习深度阅读给出具体的建议。故选B。
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。
It has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person’s writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble. ____36____
American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks. ____37____ The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.
The idea is that copyright helps society. If people can gain from their own creations, which are called their intellectual property (知识产权), then more people will want to create original works. The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research. ____38____ In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.
Just as it is easy to copy, it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing. ____39____ Second, if English is not a student’s first language, a professor might recognize a change in wording and writing style. This could bring more attention to the student’s paper.
____40____ Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.
A. This behavior is called plagiarism.
B. However, there are some limitations.
C. Plagiarism is punished in different ways.
D. Students must follow university policies on academic behavior.
E. They can identify whether students have copied published writing.
F. For example, it can automatically create citation s and combine them into a list.
G. The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. B 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章详细解释了什么是抄袭,美国版权法的保护范围,版权法如何帮助社会,以及在教育领域中如何使用受版权保护的作品。
【36题详解】
根据前文“It has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person’s writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble.(对于学生来说,查找和复制出版材料变得很容易。但是抄袭别人的作品而不给他们署名会让学生和其他学者陷入大麻烦)”可知,A项“This behavior is called plagiarism.(这种行为被称为抄袭)”是对前文内容下定义,并介绍本文主题,符合文意。故选A项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks.(美国版权法保护原创作品,包括书籍、电影、音乐、图像和艺术品)”以及后文“The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.(版权所有者可以出售版权或允许他人使用,因为版权是财产,而财产所有权在美国受法律保护)”可知,本段本段讲述那些属于版权法保护的对象,所以G项“The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.(保护范围扩大到计算机软件和建筑物和结构的设计)”符合本段主题。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research.(然而,法律允许在所谓的合理使用下未经许可使用受版权保护的作品。合理使用包括批评、评论、新闻报道、教育和研究)”以及后文“In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.(在教育方面,学生可以在他们的写作和研究中包括一小部分受版权保护的作品。但是,他们必须通过提供来源详细信息的引文,向原创作者提供荣誉)”可知,前文讲述法律允许在所谓的合理使用下未经许可使用受版权保护的作品,后文讲述在教育中使用需要提供来源详细信息的引文,所以此处讲述,可以未经许可使用,但是有限制,所以B项“However, there are some limitations.(然而,也有一些限制)”符合文意。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Just as it is easy to copy, it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing.(就像抄袭很容易一样,教授也很容易知道学生是否抄袭。首先,有计算机程序和人工智能,这些工具可以将学生的论文与已发表文章的大型数据库进行比较)”可知,E项“They can identify whether students have copied published writing.(他们可以识别学生是否抄袭了已发表的文章)”是对前文计算机程序功能的解释,符合文意。故选E项。
【40题详解】
分析设空,位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.(教授可以简单地警告学生不要再这样做,降低他们的分数,或者他们可能会让这个学生在那门课上不及格。在更极端的情况下,学生可能会被暂时禁止或开除)”可知,本段讲述了抄袭会受到的惩罚,所以C项“Plagiarism is punished in different ways.(抄袭会受到不同的惩罚)”符合文意。故选C项。

Dora is a seven-year-old girl. One day, when she visited her friend Alice, she saw a beautiful bird in a cage on the balcony of the house. Alice told her it was her new pet. “How beautiful it is!” Dora said. “I also want to have such a bird as my pet.”
That day when Dora returned home, she told her mother about Alice’s bird. Then she asked, “Mom, can I also get a bird ” “Of course, you can,” her mother replied. “But you need to wait because I have no time to go to a pet store these days.” Dora agreed. One day, when Dora was back home from school, she saw a cage in the living room. In the cage was a beautiful blue bird. Her mother was standing next to the cage, smiling. “Oh, a bird!” Dora shouted happily. She ran to it and looked at it happily. “It’s a birthday gift for you,” her mother said. “Thank you, Mom. I love it so much!” Dora shouted excitedly.
The following day, Dora invited her friends to come over to see her bird. All of her friends said it was a really beautiful bird and Dora was very glad to hear that. She and her friends played with the bird for a long time that day. Her friends all wished they could have such a bird as their pet.
Sadly, a few weeks later, Dora became sick. The doctor told her parents that she got the flu and had to stay at home. In order not to make her friends sick, her parents asked her friends not to come to play with her. Dora felt very sad. How she wished her friends would come and visit her! But she knew her parents were right. She’d better stay alone. Since Dora had no one to play with, she could only play with her bird. However, she felt that her bird didn’t seem to be happy either.

【答案】范文
Dora watched her bird in silence and found it looking out of the window. In the trees outside, many birds were playing gladly. She thought that perhaps her bird didn’t like being kept in the cage at all, just as she hoped to stay with her friends. Before she got sick, she didn’t think a lot about her bird. Now, Dora realized she shouldn’t selfishly take away its freedom for her own enjoyment.
When her mother came inside, Dora told her mother about her decision. She said, “Mom, can you set my bird free ” Her mother was surprised and asked why. “I’m sure it also wants friends,” Dora said. Her mother agreed. She opened the cage and the bird cheerfully flew out of the window. A few days later, Dora could play with her friends again. How excited she was! And when she looked out at the birds in the trees, she knew her bird must be very happy at that moment.
