 1. 科學家們早就知道蜜蜂透過搖晃身體來跳舞。這是他們分享關於蜂巢周圍花朵的方向和距離的訊息的方式。花會產生一種叫做花蜜的甜味液體和一種叫做花粉的黃色粉末。它們都是蜜蜂的食物。蜜蜂甚至可以用它們的舞蹈動作互相告訴對方某些花有多美味。現在一項新的研究顯示，蜜蜂在出生時並不具備這些舞蹈技能。年輕的蜜蜂透過觀察年長的蜜蜂來學習它們。像其他一些昆蟲一樣，蜜蜂可以透過相互模仿來學習新的行為。這就是所謂的「社會學習」。

2. 以下文字是一本書的簡介，請翻譯為中文。書名請譯為中文，第一次提及時請附帶原文。作者姓名以原文呈現即可。       The Invisible Kingdom: Reimagining Chronic Illness, by Meghan O’Rourke: Beginning in the late 1990s, Meghan O’Rourke was tormented by mysterious symptoms that would consume her life for years to follow. She describes her wrenching experience searching for a diagnosis in The Invisible Kingdom, a 2022 National Book Award finalist. O’Rourke’s reported memoir is an indictment of the U.S. health care system and its approach—or lack thereof—to identifying and treating chronic illnesses, which take a grave toll on millions of Americans. Moving between her own medical journey, the history of illness in the U.S., and the crisis faced by millions currently suffering from long COVID, O’Rourke writes with an empathetic hand to argue why and how we need to change our systems to better support patients. The book is a bold and brave exploration into a much-overlooked topic, one that she punctuates with candor and urgency.

III. Question Design (每小題10分，共20分) The following passage is a news article.(1) Summarize the passage in around 250 words.(2) Based on your summary, design five cloze test questions suitable for high school twelfth graders.Provide answers to the questions.       Changes are coming to TikTok accounts held by young people.        Soon every account held by a user under the age of 18 will have a 60-minute daily screen time limit, TikTok said. However, users can choose to keep watching. The changes arrive during a period in which there are growing concerns among government leaders in different countries about the video-sharing app. TikTok’s security and ability to alter its algorithm to push certain posts have been questioned.       Social media algorithms work by identifying topics and content of interest to a user. The update, announced on March 1, 2023, also mirrors gaming rules for minors in China, where TikTok’s parent company ByteDance was formerly based. It has relocated to Singapore.       In 2021, Chinese authorities issued new rules limiting the amount of time that minors could play online games. Young people in China may play only an hour a day and only on Fridays, weekends and public holidays. The rules are part of an effort to curb addiction to Internet activities.        In the United States, families have struggled with limiting the amount of time their children spend on the Chinese-owned app. About two-thirds of American teens use TikTok, says the Pew Research Center. It’s an organization that informs the public about trends and attitudes.        Cormac Keenan is head of trust and safety at TikTok. He said in a blog post on March 1 that when the 60-minute limit is reached, minors will be prompted to enter a passcode. They will be asked to make an “active decision” to keep watching. For accounts on which the user is under the age of 13, a parent or guardian will have to set or enter an existing passcode to allow more time. That will give 30 minutes of extra viewing time after the initial 60-minute limit is reached.        TikTok said it came up with the 60-minute mark by consulting academic research. The company also said it checked with experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts.        There have long been concerns about what minors are exposed to on social media and the possible harm it might do. A report released late last year suggested that TikTok’s algorithms are promoting videos harmful to vulnerable teens. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company, Meta, has faced similar accusations.         Algorithms on social media are a way of sorting posts. They predict what users will want to see based on their interests. Then the user is sent more of the same, as a way to keep the person on the site. However, social media critics say it’s not that straightforward. The same algorithms that promote content about a sports team, hobby or dance craze can send users down a hole of harmful content, they say.       TikTok also said on March 1 that it will begin asking teens to set their own daily screen time limit. That would be for users who opt out of the 60-minute setting. The company will send weekly inbox notifications to teen accounts with a screen time recap.       The app has already been using some safety features for teen accounts. Accounts start out as set to private for those between the ages of 13 and 15. Additionally, direct messaging is available only to those accounts with a user who is 16 or older.       TikTok announced a number of changes for all users. Those include the ability to set customized screen time limits for each day of the week and allowing users to set a schedule to mute notifications.       The company is launching a sleep reminder to help people plan when they want to be offline at night. For the sleep feature, users will be able to set an end time. When the time arrives, a pop-up will remind the user that it’s time to log off.       Concerns about the app go beyond its use by minors. Around the world, there is growing concern about the app’s security. In the United States, leaders warn that ByteDance could give user data to the Chinese government or push misinformation. The European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union have banned TikTok from being installed on official devices.       That follows similar actions taken by the U.S. government, Congress and more than half of the 50 U.S. states. Canada has also banned TikTok from government devices.       Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing a bill to give President Joe Biden the ability to ban the app nationwide. A possible ban has faced opposition from some organizations that argue it would violate rights protected by law. The legislation passed a committee in Congress on March 1. The bill must still be voted on in the full House and Senate.

IV、Teaching Activity Design（共20分） In recent years, students have increasingly relied on social media platforms (such as Threads andInstagram) to access and share information. However, when reposting, modifying, or sharing content, manystudents overlook important issues such as copyright, information credibility, and media ethics, indicatinga need to strengthen their media literacy. Design a 50-minute activity for 10th-grade students that aims toenhance their media literacy. Your design may include topics such as digital copyright, evaluatinginformation credibility, or responsible use of social media. Your answer should include: ● detailed learning objectives ● teaching procedures (pre-task, while-task, and post-task), durations and their purposes ● the formative and summative assessments

In an era where AI can generate language instantly, has the value of language learning changed? From the perspectives of interpersonal interaction, emotional expression, and authentic communication, discuss how English teachers should redefine the goals of language teaching.

Paraphrase the provided passage and design a five-blank cloze test based on your paraphrased version. Please provide both the five questions (blanks) and their corresponding answers.   Pikas, often called "real-life Pikachus," are small mammals closely related to rabbits. Inhabiting high-altitude regions, they rely on their dense fur to survive freezing temperatures. Unlike hibernating animals,pikas stay active year-round, diligently gathering and drying plants during summer to ensure they haveenough food for the winter. However, their survival is now threatened by rising temperatures, as their thickcoats make them highly sensitive to heat. Additionally, human activities, such as poisoning campaigns incertain regions, further endanger their populations. Although pikas are not yet globally endangered, therapid disappearance of local groups serves as a warning that we must protect these delicate mountainecosystems before it’s too late.

(翻譯)2. 如果你不是個登山愛好者的話，我想與你分享一個十分重要的道理。任何事情在遠處看起來總是比較可怕。上山的路高聳入雲，由下往上看，路太陡、太滑、太危險，感覺那真是高不可攀。有些路看起來如此令人懼怕，以致於你可能連試也不想試，就想回頭。很久以前我就學會了應對之道。不要緊盯著前方，擔心前方的危險。那只是在浪費時間，對解決問題毫無助益。替代的是，你應該專心對付腳下小區域，一步一步向前走。有趣的是，當你達到艱險之處的時候，這些地方並不是想像中的那麼難。

(翻譯)1. 長期以來，許多人認為科技是中立的，使用者應對自己的行為負責。事實上，平台的設計可能會深刻影響使用者的行為。像是無限滑動、自動播放以及頻繁的通知等設計，容易讓人上癮，並對心理健康造成負面影響。專家認為，僅僅禁止使用社群媒體並不足以解決問題，政府應重新思考如何規範這些平台，並確保企業對其設計決策負責。

Essay: Managing Anonymous Dissent      You recently assigned a complex writing project to your students. A few days later, you discover an anonymous post on a popular student social media forum criticizing the assignment as "burdensome" and "pointless," a sentiment that has gained significant support from other students. As their teacher, how would you address this situation professionally and pedagogically? Please write an essay to discuss your immediate response, communication strategy with the class, and reflective process regarding your instructional design.

2. Instructions:      Based on the following reading text about two museums, design a set of hybrid reading comprehension questions that incorporate multiple formats (e.g., multiple choice and short-answer items) for EFL high school students at the CEFR B2-C1 level. The test should include three parts: Part 1: Summary and Contextual Words • Write a short passage of no more than 80 words that conveys the same meaning as the original text. • Select two words from your passage and remove them to create two blanks. • The two words must appear in the original reading text. • This requires students to: locate two base words in the original text, change word forms appropriately, and fill the blanks so that the passage is grammatically and logically correct. * Provide your answers to the blanks.  Part 2: Phrasal Identification or Contextual Phrase Retrieval • Target a specific phrase in the original text. • Design one short-answer question beginning with "Which [grammatical phrase type or word count]...?" • The question requires students to identify or interpret a phrase based on context. * Provide your answer to the question. Part 3: Reading Comprehension Questions • Design two multiple-choice questions, with options from (A) to (D).  • Each must include 1 correct answer and 3 effective distractors. * Mark the correct answer to each question clearly. [Reading Text]       Throughout history, grand architecture has served as a symbol of national identity and power. Two of the most significant examples are the Louvre in Paris and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Both have undergone a remarkable transformation from exclusive royal residences into massive public museums. Today, these palace museums serve as essential gateways to understanding the art and cultural heritage of their respective nations.
