Every so often, 31-year-old Chen Jiawen, a product designer at a technology company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, sets aside a day for herself called Unplug Day. On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.
Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, ci ting moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information overload. “Occasionally disconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.
It’s become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.
4. What can we learn about Unplug Day
A. It is a day for reading. B. It is a day without phones.
C. It is a day away from the Internet. D. It is a day to spend with friends.
5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Range. B. Cancel. C. Obtain. D. Prevent.
6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social media
A. Tasks’ delays. B. Stress from peers.
C. Mental problems. D. A decreasing focus.
7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Enjoy the benefits of technology.
B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.
C. Remove the apps informing new messages.
D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.
C
Honey is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers.
Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up to almost half the bee’s unloaded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones.
On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point , it is well and truly honey.
An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast —it can surely only add to the pleasure.
8. Why does the worker bee store the nectar in its stomach
A. To digest better. B. To absorb its nutrition.
C. To keep it for its future food. D. To share it with other bees.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. The cells are sealed by sticky solution. B. Producing honey requires teamwork.
C. The drying work is done by female bees. D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage.
10. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By listing figures. B. By giving definitions.
C. By making comparisons. D. By providing examples.
11. Which may be a suitable title for the text
A. Skilled Workers
B. A Simple Pleasure
C. Advanced and Intelligent Creatures
D. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate Work
D
Titled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday.
The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience a surplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions.
In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on manager s to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential.
The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and the safety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring trackability and repairability of responsible parties.
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The threats posed by AI.
B. The future workforce training.
C. The advantages of AI workforce.
D. The potential effect of AI on workforce.
13. What is emphasized to meet the challenge
A. Education and training. B. Skills of management.
C. Government investment. D. Policy and opportunities.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI development
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken from
A. Fashion. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Service.

On a rainy summer morning, Sarah found herself hurrying to catch a flight from New York to London for an important business meeting. However, unexpected traffic delayed her arrival at the airport, leaving her with me re minutes to spare before boarding.
Desperate to catch her flight, Sarah approached the first taxi in line. “Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5, please,” she claimed as she jumped into the back seat. The driver, a middle-aged man named David, nodded and pulled away. As they sped through the streets, Sarah couldn’t shake off her nerves. “Are we going to make it in time ” she asked anxiously. David took a quick look at her through the rearview mirror (后视镜) with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ma’am. I know a shortcut that should get us there just in time,” he replied calmly. Despite David’s assurances, Sarah couldn’t help but feel a knot of worry tighten in her stomach. She had to catch this flight. The success of the entire project depended on her presence at the meeting.
Arriving at the airport, David drove expertly through the chaotic drop-off area and stopped right in front of the departure gate for Terminal 5. “We’re here,” he announced with pride. Relieved but in a rush, Sarah took out her wallet and paid the fare. But then she had some difficulty unfastening the seat-belt. It was stuck. Panic began to rise within Sarah. She couldn’t afford to waste an extra minute. She pressed the button and dragged the belt again and again, but it didn’t work.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you my experience of volunteering in a public library. During the summer vacation, I served as a librarian assistant, mainly responsible for organizing books, guiding readers to find what they need, and maintaining good order in the library.
Through my work, I not only gained a deeper under-standing of the operation and management of the library, but also improved my communication and problem-solving skills. Most importantly, I felt a great sense of satisfaction in helping others and making a contribution to the community. This experience has also inspired me to continue volunteering in the future and to do more for those in need.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
“Ma’am, your wallet!” someone was shouting. Sarahfroze, realizing she had left her wallet on the seat. She turned around and saw David was running up to her, holding her wallet out to her. Sarah was in such a hurry that she grabbed her wallet without saying “Thank you” to David. She rushed towards the terminal, leaving David standing still there.

And more importantly, David gave back her wallet. In it there was her passport, identity card and some cash, without which she could not have got on board. Not to mention participating in the conference in London. Unfortunately, David was at work when Sarah arrived at the taxi company. To express her appreciation, Sarah left a box of chocolates and a thank-you note for David, which read, “Your kindness makes the world a better place. Thank you.”
