第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,共34分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2分,共24分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The concentric circles (同心圆状斑点), also known as eyespots on butterfly, not only look like real eyes but may also appear to glare directly at predators (捕食者) from many directions, scientists have found. This visual illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”, could scare would-be attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.
Scientists suspect that eyespots, with dark “pupils (瞳孔)” in the center look like real eyes to predators. Hannah Rowland, an ecologist at the Max Planck Institute wanted to see if the direction of this fake gaze contributed to the effect.
First, Rowland and her co-author trained chicks to attack a worm hidden behind a paper printout of two eyespots at the end of a path. When the eyespots’ pupils were specifically pointed in the chicks’ direction, the birds repeatedly ran toward the paper and then backed away, and they waited a few minutes before attacking. But when the pupils instead appeared to look away from the direction of the chicks’ approach, the birds attacked in seconds. Centrally located pupils, though not as effective as ones that stared directly at the chicks, resulted in longer delays than pupils that looked the other way.
“This suggests that they really are paying attention to the direction of the pupils in the eyespots and are perceiving them as eyelike stimulation. The concentric eyespots found most often in the insect world may seem to the chicks like a pair of eyes that follow them regardless of approach angle,” says Rowland.
National University of Singapore evolutionary biologist Antonia Monteiro, who was not involved in the research, says the study is a “cool” demonstration of an evolutionary theory for eyespots. “These butterflies can be encountered from all angles, so having the pupil centrally located ends up being pretty good,” Monteiro says. Still, she says, the eyespots used in the study were several millimeters larger than even the largest commonly found in nature, raising the possibility that the chicks may have been extra frightened by the size of the paper eyes.
1. What is the function of eyespots on the butterfly?
A. Making them look more beautiful. B. Spotting potential dangers.
C. Helping them identify the direction. D. Protecting them from being attacked.
2. How did the chicks react when shown the specifically-pointed eyespots?
A. They attacked immediately. B. They turned away in seconds.
C. They reacted cautiously. D. They became very excited.
3. What does Monteiro mean in the last paragraph?
A. The eyespot is a butterfly’s powerful weapon.
B. The experiment needs further proof.
C. The study first proposes an evolutionary theory of eyespots.
D. Butterflies in nature have small eyespots.
4. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To appeal to readers to preserve butterflies.
B. To uncover the hidden biological secret of butterflies.
C. To analyze the social behaviour of butterflies.
D. To demonstrate the evolutionary theory for eyespots.
B
Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems.
Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers — things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules.
Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”.
Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently.
There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade.
Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says.
5. What does the AI jailbreak refer to?
A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models.
B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models.
C. The capability of AI models improving themselves.
D. The process of AI models learning new information.
6. What can we know about the persona modulation?
A. It can help AI models understand emotions.
B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations.
C. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona.
D. It forces AI models to follow only good personas.
7. What is Yinzhen Li’s attitude towards LLMs?
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Approving. D. Negative.
8. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement
C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach
C
As most Americans spend at least 50% of their food budget dining out, public criticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices. The Menu Labeling Final Rule has come into effect, requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations to show the calories of food on menus.
By representing these values in a discrepant way — using physically larger numbers on the page for lower-calorie options, and smaller numbers for high-calorie foods — businesses can shift customers’ preferences toward healthier food, according to Ruiying Cai from the Washington State University.
In their study, Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a less healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two groups. In the first group, calorie counts and font sizes rose and fell together. In the second group, the size became larger as the calorie count fell. Researchers also asked participants questions to assess their health-consciousness.
Results showed participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large sizes, were more likely to adopt the healthier option. Moreover, less health- conscious participants were the most affected, while people with more health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.
This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect. Named after psychologist J. Ridley Stroop, the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to mismatch in its classic form. For example, if the word “purple” is written in green, it takes respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its number in this study.
“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect. “Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants, but whenever a ‘healthy’ label is attached, people may assume it does not taste good,” she explained. “We’re trying to provide restaurants with indirect suggestions, rather than saying it out loud.”
9. What does the underlined word “discrepant” in paragraph 2mean?
A. Creative. B. Relative C. Conflicting D. Misleading
10. Which of the following type of customers would be affected most from the research?
A. Strict diet followers. B. Convenience food fans.
C. Homema de meal lovers. D. Health magazine readers.
11. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The significance of research results. B. The measurement of response delays.
C. The psychological basis of the study design. D. The influential variations of the Stroop effect.
12. Which of the following might be Cai’s suggestion for restaurants?
A. Use font magic to drive healthier choices.
B. Pay more attention to the taste of the food.
C. Create a quiet dining atmosphere for customers.
D. Attach “healthy” labels to the food on the menu.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline. ____13____ Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to change this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.
____14____ When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. ____15____ While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. ____16____
Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books. ____17____ Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.
A. Audiobooks (有声书) still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B. Choose what is the most suitable for your needs.
C. Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence.
D. This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio.
E. Keep a book, an e-reader, or an audiobook app on you as you go about the day.
F. Despite this, the overall book reading time for Americans is on the decline.
G. However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages

When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden.

The concentric eyespots found most often in the insect world may seem to the chicks like a pair of eyes that follow them regardless of approach angle,” says Rowland.
National University of Singapore evolutionary biologist Antonia Monteiro who was not involved in the research, says the study is a “cool” demonstration of an evolutionary theory for eyespots. “These butterflies can be encountered from all angles, so having the pupil centrally located ends up being pretty good,” Monteiro says. Still, she says, the eyespots used in the study were several millimeters larger than even the largest commonly found in nature, raising the possibility that the chicks may have been extra frightened by the size of the paper eyes.
1. What is the function of eyespots on the butterfly?
A. Making them look more beautiful. B. Spotting potential dangers.

【导语】本文是一篇科普类说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现,蝴蝶身上的同心圆状的类似瞳孔的图案可以起到保护蝴蝶的作用,让捕食者畏惧,并给以蝴蝶足够多的逃生时间。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“This visual illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”, could scare would-be attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.(这种视觉错觉被称为“蒙娜丽莎效应”,可以吓到潜在的攻击者,并为昆虫赢得足够的时间逃跑。)”可知,这种视觉上的假象,可以吓走那些潜在的攻击者,给以蝴蝶足够多的时间逃生。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“When the eyespots’ pupils were specifically pointed in the chicks’ direction, the birds repeatedly ran toward the paper and then backed away, and they waited a few minutes before attacking.(当眼状斑点的瞳孔特别指向小鸟的方向时,这些鸟会反复朝纸跑去,然后后退,等几分钟再攻击。)”可知,当瞳孔直接对着这些小鸟时,他们会重复的跑过去又退回来,在攻击之前会等上几分钟。这是谨慎的表现。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句““These butterflies can be encountered from all angles, so having the pupil centrally located ends up being pretty good,” Monteiro says. Still, she says, the eyespots used in the study were several millimeters larger than even the largest commonly found in nature, raising the possibility that the chicks may have been extra frightened by the size of the paper eyes.(Monteiro说:“这些蝴蝶可以从任何角度看到,所以把瞳孔放在中心位置就很好了。”不过,她说,研究中使用的眼状斑点甚至比自然界中常见的最大斑点还要大几毫米,这增加了一种可能性,即雏鸟可能被纸眼睛的大小吓坏了。)”可知,生物学家Monteiro认为,这个类似瞳孔的图案形状是可以吓到雏鸟的,对蝴蝶来讲,可以起到有力的保护作用的。故选A。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是文章第一段的“ This visual illusion, called the “Mona Lisa effect”, could scare would-be attackers and buy the insects enough time to escape.(这种视觉错觉被称为“蒙娜丽莎效应”,可以吓到潜在的攻击者,并为昆虫赢得足够的时间逃跑。)”,最后一句“National University of Singapore evolutionary biologist Antonia Monteiro, who was not involved in the research, says the study is a “cool” demonstration of an evolutionary theory for eyespots.(新加坡国立大学的进化生物学家Antonia Monteiro没有参与这项研究,但他说这项研究是对眼状斑点进化理论的一个“很酷”的证明。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了蝴蝶背上的瞳孔图案的作用,因此推断文章的目的是揭示蝴蝶身上隐藏的生物学秘密。故选B。
B
Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems.
Many publicly available large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers — things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules.
Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”.
Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently.
There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade.
Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says.
5. What does the AI jailbreak refer to?
A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models.
B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models.
C. The capability of AI models improving themselves.
D. The process of AI models learning new information.
6. What can we know about the persona modulation?
A. It can help AI models understand emotions.
B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations.
C. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona.
D. It forces AI models to follow only good personas.
7. What is Yinzhen Li’s attitude towards LLMs?
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Approving. D. Negative.
8. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement
C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. B 8. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能领域面临的一项新挑战——AI“越狱”。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems. (人工智能模型可以欺骗对方不服从其创造者,提供被禁止的制造毒品的指令,甚至制造炸弹,这表明防止这种AI‘jailbreaks’比看起来要困难得多。)”以及第二段“Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers — things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules. (许多公开可用的大型语言模型(LLMs),如ChatGPT,都有硬编码规则,旨在防止它们表现出种族或性别歧视,或者用非法或有问题的答案回答问题——这些都是它们通过训练数据从人类那里学到的。但这并没有阻止人们找到精心设计的指令,阻止这些保护措施,即所谓的‘jailbreaks’,使人工智能模型不遵守规则。)”可知,许多公开可用的大型语言模型都有硬编码规则阻止非法、歧视等内容,但是人工智能模型可以突破保护限制措施,互相欺骗对方不服从其创造者,提供被禁止的指令;由此可知,AI“jailbreak”指的是打破人工智能模型限制,使人工智能模型违反规则的技术。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently. (Tagade表示,这种方法之所以有效,是因为大型模型消耗的大部分训练数据来自在线对话,模型学会以特定的方式响应不同的输入。通过与模型进行正确的对话,可以使其采用特定的角色,从而使其采取不同的行动。)”可知,“角色调节(the persona modulation)”可以通过与人工智能模型进行正确的对话让其采用特定的角色,采取不同的行动。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says. (伦敦帝国理工学院的Yinzhen Li表示,目前的模型可能会被滥用,这令人担忧,但开发者需要权衡这些风险与LLM的潜在好处。‘就像药物一样,它们也有需要控制的副作用,’她说。)”可知,Yinzhen Li认为,目前的模型可能会被滥用,但是开发者需要权衡这些风险与LLMs的潜在好处,由此可知,Yinzhen Li对LLMs持谨慎的态度。故选B。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems. (人工智能模型可以欺骗对方不服从其创造者,提供被禁止的制造毒品的指令,甚至制造炸弹,这表明防止这种人工智能“越狱”比看起来更困难。)”以及下文内容可知本文介绍了人工智能“越狱”、研究者们发现的一个“越狱”过程——“角色调节”以及专家对其态度;由此可知,本文主要阐述人工智能发展面临的人工智能“越狱”这一新的挑战;C选项“AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge (AI越狱:一个新的挑战)”能够概括文章主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选C。
C
As most Americans spend at least 50% of their food budget dining out, public criticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices. The Menu Labeling Final Rule has come into effect, requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations to show the calories of food on menus.
By representing these values in a discrepant way — using physically larger numbers on the page for lower-calorie options, and smaller numbers for high-calorie foods — businesses can shift customers’ preferences toward healthier food, according to Ruiying Cai from the Washington State University.
In their study, Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a less healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two groups. In the first group, calorie counts and font sizes rose and fell together. In the second group, the size became larger as the calorie count fell. Researchers also asked participants questions to assess their health-consciousness.
Results showed participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large sizes, were more likely to adopt the healthier option. Moreover, less health- conscious participants were the most affected, while people with more health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.
This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect. Named after psychologist J. Ridley Stroop, the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to mismatch in its classic form. For example, if the word “purple” is written in green, it takes respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its number in this study.
“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect. “Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants, but whenever a ‘healthy’ label is attached, people may assume it does not taste good,” she explained. “We’re trying to provide restaurants with indirect suggestions, rather than saying it out loud.”
9. What does the underlined word “discrepant” in paragraph 2mean?
A. Creative. B. Relative C. Conflicting D. Misleading
10. Which of the following type of customers would be affected most from the research?
A. Strict diet followers. B. Convenience food fans.
C. Homema de meal lovers. D. Health magazine readers.
11. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The significance of research results. B. The measurement of response delays.
C. The psychological basis of the study design. D. The influential variations of the Stroop effect.
12. Which of the following might be Cai’s suggestion for restaurants?
A. Use font magic to drive healthier choices.
B. Pay more attention to the taste of the food.
C. Create a quiet dining atmosphere for customers.
D. Attach “healthy” labels to the food on the menu.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. C 12. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究——菜单上标记热量多少的数字大小是如何影响顾客对食物的选择的。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词后的内容“using physically larger numbers on the page for lower-calorie options, and smaller numbers for high-calorie foods”(在页面上使用较大的数字表示低卡路里的选项,而使用较小的数字表示高卡路里的食物)可知,这是对 discrepant way的解释,用大数字表示低卡路里,小数字表示高卡路里,这是一种相冲突的方式,故推知discrepant应表示“矛盾的,相差的”,与Conflicting同义。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Moreover, less health- conscious participants were the most affected, while people with more health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.”(此外,健康意识较弱的参与者受影响最大,而健康意识较强的人受影响较小,因为他们已经喜欢更健康的食物。)说明健康意识较弱的人受影响最大,而健康意识较弱的人通常是方便食物的爱好者。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect. Named after psychologist J. Ridley Stroop, the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to mismatch in its classic form. For example, if the word “purple” is written in green, it takes respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its number in this study.”(本研究通过创造斯特鲁普效应来调整顾客行为。以心理学家J. Ridley Stroop的名字命名,斯特鲁普效应指的是对不匹配的反应延迟。例如,如果单词“紫色”是用绿色书写的,那么受访者识别颜色的时间要比单词和颜色匹配的时间长。同样,在本研究中,当数字的实际大小与其数字不匹配时,也会观察到这种效应。)可知,本段主要介绍了该研究应用斯特鲁普效应来研究顾客行为,该效应是设计该研究的心理学基础。故选C项。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect. “Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants, but whenever a ‘healthy’ label is attached, people may assume it does not taste good,” she explained. “We’re trying to provide restaurants with indirect suggestions, rather than saying it out loud.””(“餐馆有兴趣鼓励顾客做出更健康的选择,”Cai说。然而,仅仅给食品贴上健康标签可能不会产生预期的效果。她解释说:“健康食品可以为餐馆带来利润,但只要贴上‘健康’的标签,人们就会认为它味道不好。”“我们试图为餐厅提供间接的建议,而不是大声说出来。”)可知,她认为给食物贴上‘健康’的标签反而会适得其反,并不能鼓励顾客去选择它,餐馆应该寻求间接的方法。再根据第四段第一句“Results showed participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large sizes, were more likely to adopt the healthier option.”(结果显示,第二组看到印有大尺寸低卡路里标签的参与者更有可能选择更健康的食物。)说明了食物标签上字体的大小会影响人们对健康食物的选择。由此推测,Cai提到的“indirect suggestions”指的就是餐馆可以利用字体的魔力来推动顾客更健康的食物选择。故选A项。

Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive (认知的) decline. ____13____ Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to change this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.
____14____ When you have some leisure time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of playing your favorite smartphone game. ____15____ While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion, science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF file. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently. ____16____
Ultimately, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss (摒弃) paper, electronic, or audio books. ____17____ Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.
A. Audiobooks (有声书) still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B. Choose what is the most suitable for your needs.
C. Words on a page can improve emotional intelligence.
D. This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio.

Ⅴ.读后续写(共25分)
80. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car.

Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I saw the shock and disbelief on their faces. I couldn’t help but approach Luella, tightly holding her hands and saying, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded at me, still appearing puzzled by the devastating sight. My family volunteered to help hers clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees from the yard. To uplift Luella’s spirits and bring her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit.
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Yet now, they were all gone. Determined to restore the beauty that once thrived, I suggested that we rebuild the garden. Luella agreed delightedly. With each bulb carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the sprouting of a new friendship between us, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give. You may receive something unexpected in return.
