My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic (图解的) novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.
My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination?
According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to enable. Comics are simply easier to read than other kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.
My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for? Do his comic books have such power?
24. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1?
A. Dismissive.    B. Approving.
C. Unclear.    D. Objective.
25. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language?
A. Plot can only be expressed by language.
B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics.
C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly.
D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading.
26. What do we know about the author’s son?
A. He likes reading books with full pages of text.
B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination.
C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels.
D. He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics.
B. To show the significance of reading for children.
C. To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading.
D. To compare the differences between comics and novels.
C
Smart technology is helping doctors provide better service in the medical field. At the 2023 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Xia Bangbo, a doctor from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, showed a 5G+AR remote emergency medical services system.
With this system, doctors at grassroots (基层的) levels can wear portable (便携式的) AR devices to immediately connect with higher-level medical experts for communication, receiving advanced medical guidance. “In medical work, especially in emergencies, what doctors need most is rapid decision making, which doctors at grassroots levels currently lack in terms of response speed,” said Hong Yucai, director of the emergency department of the hospital. He expressed that this 5G+AR system, using a communication system based on 5G and AR technology for audio and video interactions, rapidly connects grassroots and higher-level doctors.
This 5G+AR system also uses artificial intelligence (AI). Even if a ship carrying it on the sea loses network connection and no doctors are present, the AI doctor in the system will provide real-time guidance to those around. Since its trial run at the beginning of 2022, this smart system has covered more than 40 county-level hospitals and community health service centers in seven counties in Zhejiang.
Another way AI is being used in medical service is to collect and study data from smartwatches and wearables. China’s company Zepp Health recently launched several AI-powered products to go with its existing smart wearables. Zepp Aura, for instance, is a new software service that offers users tailored guidance, sleep analysis, as well as AI-generated sleep music which adjusts in real time based on the user’s heart rate.
With the development of AI, big data, and other innovative tools, smart technology in healthcare will certainly be changing the game in more ways.
28. What problem does the 5G+AR system solve?
A. The slow reaction of grassroots doctors to medical cases.
B. The poor medical equipment in remote areas.
C. The lack of communication between grassroots doctors.
D. The inexperience of young doctors.
29. What can the 5G+AR system do?
A. Improve medical level of hospitals in cities.
B. Collect data from users’ smartwatches.
C. Guide ordinary people to handle medical emergencies.
D. Provide audio and video materials for higher-level doctors.
30. Which of the following can best describe Zepp Aura?
A. Multi-functional.        B. Cost-effective.
C. Groundbreaking.        D. Lifelike.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Smart Technology Betters the World.
B. AI’s Development Promotes People’s Health.
C. Smart Technology Improves Medical Service.
D. Medical Field Is Changed Completely by AI.
D
Want to know what is coming soon to a cinema near you? Probably not a 1.5-hour-long movie, as in the old days. On October 20th comes Killers of the Flower Moon. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long and some viewers even nod off. Afterwards there is a mad dash for the toilets. When does watching a film become such a slog?
The Economist analyzed over 100,000 feature films released internationally since the 1930s, the start of Hollywood’s golden age, using data from IMDB, a movie database. The average length of productions rose by around 24%, from one hour and 21 minutes in the 1930s to one hour and 47 minutes in 2022. For the ten most-popular titles, the average length grew to around two and a half hours in 2022, nearly 50% higher than in the 1930s.
One driver of this trend is that studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property (知识产权), but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out “event” movie will draw audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: Avengers: Endgame Marvel’s three-hour superhero masterpieces was the highest-grossing (票房最高的) film in 2019. Last year long movies series made up most of the highest-grossing films in America.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr. Nolan to cut out his masterpieces? Moreover, streaming platforms, which do not have to worry as much about the length because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names by promising them sufficient fund and creative freedom. Netflix funded and released three-hour The Irishman in 2019, a film that would have benefited from a decisive editor, Irish or otherwise.
32. The underlined part “a slog” in paragraph 1 refers to a(n) _______.
A. pleasure.    B. effort.   
C. conflict.    D. feast.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. The average length affects the popularity of films.
B. Great advances have been made in film industry.
C. Hollywood starts a golden age of feature films.
D. The average duration of movies has stretched.
34. What sets the trend of longer movies?
A. Competition for the target audience.    B. Thirst for more classic productions.
C. Influence of streaming platforms.    D. Preference for decisive editors.
35. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Movie Enthusiasts.    B. Movie Marathons.
C. Movie Production.    D. Movie Influence.
二、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。
The Power of “Like”
Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. And most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. Clicking on a thumbs-up is an easy way to stay in touch.   36   
Clicking “like” on a post can increase the number of people who see it. If other people have liked a post, new viewers will be more likely to like it too.   37   As a result, that popularity can feed on itself.
What’s more, viewing one’s own posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in their brains. Positive responses to teens’ own photos (in the form of many “likes”) tell them that their friends appreciate the material they’re posting.   38   Seeing someone else’s popular photo, however, doesn’t necessarily turn it on.
39   In one 2011 study, teens doing driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around, which suggested that teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. And they make similar changes when using social media according to a research conducted last year. The research showed that popular photos might signal to teens that what’s in those photos is socially acceptable. For example, images related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do.
Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. However, posts may exaggerate (夸张) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are.   40  
A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.
B. Teens use it to learn how to handle their social world.
C. Many social media sites share more of the higher-ranked posts.
D. It’s no surprise that responses from peers affect how teens behave.
E. Their brains respond to those “likes” by turning on the reward center.
F. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.
G. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“点赞”对青少年产生的影响。
36. G 文章标题为“点赞的影响力”。空前说“‘点赞’是保持联系的一种简单方式”。下文分别介绍了“点赞”对帖子的观看人数、帖子发布者的大脑以及对青少年行为的影响等。因此，G项“但是这些‘赞’可能具有超出简单联系的影响力”承上启下，符合语境。
37. C 本段介绍了在帖子上点击“赞”可以增加浏览量。空前说“如果其他人已经点赞了一篇帖子，新的看客也更有可能会点赞”。空后说“因此，这种受欢迎程度可以自我滋养”。C项“许多社交媒体网站会分享更多排名较高的帖子”承上启下，符合语境。
38. E 本段介绍了看到自己的帖子获得很多“赞”会激活大脑中的奖励系统。空前说“青少年自己的照片得到积极的回应（以许多“赞”的形式）告诉他们，他们的朋友欣赏他们发布的内容”。E项“他们的大脑通过对这些“赞”作出反应，激活了奖励中枢”承接上文，符合语境。
39. D 设空处为段首句。空后说“在一项2011年的研究中，实验室内进行驾驶任务的青少年在朋友陪伴时冒更多风险，这表明青少年正在改变他们的行为以寻求社会认可。根据去年进行的一项研究，他们在使用社交媒体时也做出类似的改变”。因此D项“毫无疑问，来自同龄人的回应会影响青少年的行为”符合语境。
40. F 本段介绍了加入社交媒体可以给人们一种了解情况的感觉。空前说“然而，帖子可能夸大我们的朋友和其他人的感受，让他们看起来比我们更快乐”。因此，F项“这可能会不恰当地让我们觉得自己没有他们成功”符合语境。且F项中的“us”与“them”与空前的“them”与“we”指代一致。
