“The first time I came to Zhadong village, I was struck by its natural beauty. The adobe (土坯) homes fit perfectly with the green environment,” recalls Hansen Nico Rene, a 63-year-old retired policeman. “But when we entered the houses, we found people were poor. There was a fireplace, a table, and some chairs.”
The village Hansen visited is in a remote mountainous area in Guangxi’s Hechi city. Before coming to Zhadong, Hansen had settled in downtown Hechi for six years. What brought the retiree to Zhadong was a notice for volunteers to aid the poverty campaign in March 2018. At the time of Hansen’s first visit, there were still some parts of the village that were not accessible by road. It was a rainy day, but dozens of people were busy in the fields working with cables, bamboo, and iron posts, so Hansen went to see what was going on and found out that they were preparing to grow passion fruit to help people out of poverty.
After the visits, Hansen suggested that the village use the land behind it to build a farm, and he also participated in the construction work himself. “It was a jungle. We brought electricity and water, and then we built a small farm. Now there are nearly 2,000 pigs and 200 cows. It is still growing,” Hansen says.
Today, this farm brings over 100,000 yuan in income to the villagers each year. With Hansen’s assistance, the village’s officials and other volunteer workers, developed featured industries, including cattle and sheep breeding and fruit planting. Hansen is quite satisfied with his work in the village. “Now everything has changed. The adobe homes have gone. Today everyone lives in new houses with a separate kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedrooms. There is also electricity and internet connection.”
Hansen returned to the city in May 2021. However, he maintains a deep attachment to Zhadong, and often goes back to the village to see his old friends and promote tourism by sharing pictures of local landscapes and cultural events on social media with his friends in Europe and beyond.
4. What impressed Hansen first when he visited Zhadong village?
A. The adobe homes. B. The natural beauty.
C. The friendly people. D. The green lifestyle.
5. Why did Hansen go to Zhadong village?
A. To settle there. B. To be a volunteer.
C. To fund a road. D. To grow passion fruit.
6. How did Hansen help out in the village?

B. He worked as the leader of the village.
C. He introduced the village to the tourists.
D. He designed new houses for the villagers.
7. Which of the following can best describe Hansen?

It is still growing,” Hansen says.(参观结束后，汉森建议该村用后面的土地建一个农场，他自己也参与了建设工作。“那是一片丛林。我们带来了电和水，然后我们建了一个小农场。现在这里有近2000头猪和200头牛。它仍在发展，”汉森说。)”可知，汉森通过建造一个农场来帮助村民，故选A。

The Sunday Times spoke to 23 people including social workers, psychologists and parents, who said the impact of social media on the mental health of the young in Singapore is concerning.
Mr Cho Ming Xiu, founder of mental advocacy non-profit Campus PSY, said most young people find it difficult not to check on their friends on social media and compare their lives. “You can’t just do well in your studies. You have to be an all-rounder—you have to have a good CCA record, secure a good internship at a reputable company. This constant competition emphasized by social media channels by their peers—when everyone is posting about good things—intensifies competition, and young people find it stressful,” he added.
Psychologists say that the flood of attractive posts can cause feelings of dissatisfaction, especially among young people with less experience to tell the social media world from real life. Assistant director of Touch Mental Wellness Andrea Chan said, “Seeing good things can draw much envy and comparison, while identification with bad things can lead to a negative circle.” And the strengthening of pleasure-seeking posting on social media can result in addiction, said the head of psychology at the Singapore University of Social Science.
Ms Lee Yi Ping, program leader of Community Health Assessment Team, said, “In the event that a young person feels disappointed by the responses received, the depression is often left unnoticed unless the young person openly talks about it with another trusted person. Support must come from family and friends who can constantly remind the young people that no matter how challenging a life circumstance can be, they can overcome it.” “With timely and proper medical and psycho-social treatments by formal sources of support like helping professionals, coupled with informal sources of support like family and friends, young people stand a better chance with recovery and regain the ability to pursue their ambitions in life,” she added.
The experts say if these pressures are left unchecked, negative thoughts and feelings from social media can contribute to depression, anxiety and eating disorders.
8. What does the underlined word “intensifies” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ruins. B. Updates. C. Heightens. D. Brightens.
9 What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The effects of social media. B. The situation of social media.
C. The reasons for social media addiction. D. The enthusiasm for good posts on media.
10. What do we know from Ms Lee Yi Ping’s words?
A. Professional treatment does little to help out.
B. The ambition will reduce unnoticed depression.
C. Support from parents and friends really matters.
D. Young people can overcome the depression alone.
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Experts can address the impact of media.
B. The young ignore the unchecked pressures.
C. Pleasure-seeking posting is supposed to become popular.
D. Negative feelings from social media do harm to the young.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是《星期日泰晤士报》采访了包括社会工作者、心理学家和家长在内的23人，他们表示社交媒体对新加坡年轻人心理健康的影响令人担忧。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“This constant competition emphasized by social media channels by their peers—when everyone is posting about good things(这种持续的竞争被社交媒体渠道的同行所强调——当每个人都在发布好东西时)”和“young people find it stressful(年轻人感到压力很大)”可知，每个人都在发布好东西时加剧了这种竞争，划线词intensifies的意思是“加剧”，和heightens意思相近，故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Psychologists say that the flood of attractive posts can cause feelings of dissatisfaction, especially among young people with less experience to tell the social media world from real life.(心理学家表示，大量吸引人的帖子可能会引起不满情绪，尤其是在那些缺乏区分社交媒体世界和现实生活经验的年轻人中。)”，“Seeing good things can draw much envy and comparison, while identification with bad things can lead to a negative circle.(看到好的东西会引起嫉妒和比较，而对不好的东西的认同会导致一个消极的循环。)”和“And the strengthening of pleasure-seeking posting on social media can result in addiction(而社交媒体上寻求快乐的帖子的加强可能会导致成瘾)”可知，第三段主要讲的是社交媒体的影响，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的““In the event that a young person feels disappointed by the responses received, the depression is often left unnoticed unless the young person openly talks about it with another trusted person. Support must come from family and friends who can constantly remind the young people that no matter how challenging a life circumstance can be, they can overcome it.” “With timely and proper medical and psycho-social treatments by formal sources of support like helping professionals, coupled with informal sources of support like family and friends, young people stand a better chance with recovery and regain the ability to pursue their ambitions in life,” (“如果一个年轻人对收到的回应感到失望，除非这个年轻人与另一个值得信任的人公开谈论，否则抑郁通常不会被注意到。支持必须来自家人和朋友，他们可以不断地提醒年轻人，无论生活环境多么具有挑战性，他们都能克服它。”“通过专业人士等正式支持来源的及时、适当的医疗和心理社会治疗，再加上家人和朋友等非正式支持来源，年轻人更有可能康复，重新获得追求生活抱负的能力。”)”可知，从Ms Lee Yi Ping的话中可以了解到父母和朋友的支持真的很重要。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The experts say if these pressures are left unchecked, negative thoughts and feelings from social media can contribute to depression, anxiety and eating disorders.(专家们表示，如果这些压力不加以控制，来自社交媒体的消极想法和感受会导致抑郁、焦虑和饮食失调。)”可知，作者在文章中似乎传达的消息是社交媒体上的负面情绪对年轻人有害。故选D。
D
Virtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary(补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.
Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit(招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.
Weinmann invited 103 participants to their lab. Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researcher’s analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlated with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes).
The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligence, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called ‘serious games’, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.
The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.
12. What can we learn from Weinmann’s study?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. The participants can play the game freely.
C. It aims to develop intellectual ability.
D. It helps to combine research with practice.
13 What is Weinmann’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Unclear. B. Intolerant. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Limitations of the study.
B. Possible directions for future study.
C. The present situation of the study.
D. The explanation of the research method.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. VR games can be used in recruitment
B. VR games can indicate intelligence level
C. VR games improve applicants’ performance
D. VR games have gain popularity in management
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现虚拟现实游戏可以作为人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于对应聘者的工作能力进行测试。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit(招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.(尽管许多公司越来越多地使用VR技术来招聘候选人，但只有少数研究专门调查了VR游戏是否以及如何用于得出这一领域的智力结论。这项研究有助于弥合研究与实践之间的空缺。)”可知，该项研究填补了在研究与实践之间的空缺，所以这项研究帮助把研究与实践结合起来。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.(新的结果与VR游戏的具体应用相一致，并表明它们可以用于招聘。”)”可知，Weinmann认为这项研究成果可用于招聘中，所以他对研究结果持赞成态度。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段“The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.(科学家们打算继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力。除此之外，他们正在调查人们在虚拟世界中的行为。)”可知，科学家将继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力以及人们在虚拟世界中的行为，由此可推断，该段主要介绍的是未来研究的方向。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary(补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.(研究结果还表明，虚拟现实游戏可以作为企业人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于预测应聘者的工作表现。)”并结合下文对该研究成果的分析可知，本文主要介绍的为VR虚拟现实游戏可知用于招聘中对应聘人员的工作表现进行测试，所以“VR game可用于招聘”作为文章题目概括了全文内容也体现了文章主题。故选A项。

考查非谓语动词。句意：茶叶烘烤后，人们加入热水煮沸。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意可知，此处为目的状语，意为“为了煮沸茶叶”，所以应用不定式形式，且表示主动意义。故填to boil。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他们一边喝茶，一边聊天，在火上烤水果，这已经成为这些地区的一种社交场景。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词为主句内容指事。故填which。

It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already crowded with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well.
My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a determined and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly,
A car had made a left turning without signaling and as a result, a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed(猛撞) into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile-up. The already crowded road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl.
I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She parked the car not too far from the accident spot.
The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an unforgettable impression in my mind to date. The passengers on the school bus were injured. 1 rushed into the bus and saw the driver laid slumped(瘫倒) on the wheel. He had injuries on the head. My sister helped him down from the bus.

Minutes later, two ambulances arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I told the injured school children to stay calm. Most of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults had entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. The children were crying and screaming for their parents and we had to hug them to keep them quiet.
Minutes later, two ambulances arrived. A traffic police car was there too. Two policemen were taking down statements from eye-witnesses. The injured were whisked away to the hospital. My sister and I later gave an account to the police about what had happened. I was late for school. In fact, many drivers were also late for their work. I informed my teacher of the accident and both felt that it could have been prevented if the drivers had been more careful.
