• 3．Liu Jichen，founder and CEO of Clear Plate?，designed a mini-program that recognizes empty plates and rewards users with points.These points can be exchanged for gifts like books and cellphones，or better yet，they can be used to purchase charity meals donated to poor children in rural areas of China.
     In 2016，Liu，a then student of Tsinghua University，noticed a popular campaign called "Leftover Party"，where people brought their leftovers to eat together，intending to raise awareness of food waste.Liu and his classmates organized one such event，which was attended by hundreds of people.The success encouraged him to spread the concept of reducing food waste to a wider audience.
     The idea of a mini-program struck him at a dinner in 2017 when Liu dined at a restaurant，which rewarded diners who finished off their food.Liu found that the restaurant would give these diners a card every time and offer them small gifts when they collected a certain number of cards. "Everyone who values food can enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost，" Liu said，noting that such an idea could be realized online.
     He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to identify the uploaded photos.Liu and his team，assisted by more than 1，000 others，spent half a year collecting over 100，000 samples across the country to train the digital brain.
     "There were so many uncertainties in research and development.For our team members，the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it，" Liu said.They not only achieved their goal，but now，the mini-program has more than five million registered users. "We hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste and to contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to global food security challenges，" he added.
  
  （1）What inspired Liu Jichen to create the mini-program？

  
  A．A restaurant's practice.
  B．His interest in high tech.
  C．A campaign concept.
  D．His classmates' advice.
  （2）What is the main aim of the mini-program？

  
  A．To increase awareness of charity.
  B．To encourage people to save food.
  C．To collect photos of empty plates.
  D．To promote books and other gifts.
  （3）Which of the following words can best describe Liu Jichen？

  
  A．Generous and optimistic.
  B．Loving and easy-going.
  C．Determined and responsible.
  D．Grateful and considerate.

第三部分：書面表達(dá)（共兩節(jié)，32分）第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)（共1小題；第1、2題各2分，第3題3分，第4題5分，共12分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求回答問題。

• 8．Digital Inclusion for Older Adults As a researcher in the behavior of older adults，I regularly hear complaints from them like， "I'm just not part of this world anymore.In certain parts of society，I just can't join…Some things just are not possible if you are not in the flow of the Internet." or "We feel like we're standing outside a building that we have no access to."
      Today，mastering digital technology has become a key component of what it means to fully participate in society.But one area in particular threatens to prevent some older adults from making connections：the digital divide.
      As a recent study shows，one-third of adults aged 65 and older say they've never used the Internet，and half don't have Internet access at home.Of those who do use the Internet，nearly half say they need someone else's help to set up or use a new digital device.
      In contrast to concerns about technology use increasing isolation（孤立；隔離） among younger populations，the communication and connection possible online can be especially valuable for older adults who are homebound，live far away from family，or have lost the loved ones.Older adults can use online tools to connect with friends and family via messaging platforms，video chat，and social media even if they can no longer physically visit them.And they can engage with the outside world through news，blogs，streaming platforms，and email，even if they are no longer able to move about as easily as they once could.
      For older adults in particular，the risks associated with social isolation are profound.Loneliness among older adults has been associated with depression，functional decline，and death.Technology can serve as an important tool to help reduce these risks，but only if we provide older adults with the skills they need，to make inclusion in the digital world accessible to them.
      The importance of digital inclusion is not going to disappear with the generational changes of the coming decades.Technology is continuously developing，and with each new digital innovation come challenges for even younger adults to adapt.
  
  （1）What prevents some older adults from connecting with society？

  
  （2）What do the statistics in Paragraph 3 indicate？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  ? Enabling older adults to access the digital world can help them recover from depression and functional decline.

  
  （4）Please briefly present your opinion on digital inclusion. （about 40 words）
