“When I first started learning calligraphy, I just copied the teacher’s strokes (笔画) , and my work was ugly. But when the brush was in the teacher’s hand, it turned into Harry Potter’s magic wand (魔杖) ,” said Aryan Mohammd, 27, from Afghanistan.

As concerns about the environmental impact of food production continue to grow researchers and policymakers are exploring novel ways to produce protein more sustainably. One option that has been gaining attention in recent years is the use of insects as a food source.
The idea of eating crickets (蟋蟀) or mealworms doesn’t give many Western consumers a good appetite. A new study, presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy, surveyed 603 UK adults about their attitudes towards consuming insects and revealed that only 13% of respondents were willing to regularly eat insects, while 47 percent said they would not be willing to do so. However, it suggests that mixing insect-based ingredients (配料) with familiar foods could be key to overcoming the biggest barrier and making this eco-friendly protein source more palatable.
So, what makes insects such a promising alternative to traditional livestock, such as cows and sheep? Some insect proteins, such as ground crickets or freeze-dried mealworms, are cheaper and often have a lower fat content. Additionally, insect farming requires less land, water, and feed than traditional livestock and has less environmental impact. The biggest factor is that they are a rich source of protein and micro-nutrients, making them a potentially valuable tool in preventing people from both being too fat and under nutrition.
The study found that ideas about insects’ taste or sensory properties were generally unfavorable, with participants anticipating lower levels of enjoyment, liking, or sweetness and higher levels of saltiness and bitterness. However, the researchers note that attitudes towards eating insects can change over time, pointing to the example of lobster (龙虾) . Once considered a poor man’s food, these are now considered a delicacy in many parts of the world despite their insect-like appearance. To help change attitudes towards insect-based foods, the researchers suggest that more needs to be done to let consumers be well-informed of the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating insects.
8. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Profitable. B. Authoritative. C. Affordable D. Delicious.
9. What can be the main cause of insects’ likely replacing traditional livestock?
A. The raising costs. B. The rich nutrition.
C. The low fat content. D. The eco-friendly features
10. Why do the researchers mention lobsters?
A. To make a comparison. B. To highlight a problem.
C. To prove their prediction. D. To criticize an argument.
11. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A How to raise insects effectively. B. Varieties of insect-based foods.
C. How to make insects more appealing D. Education of consumers eating insects.
D
Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately applied in schools rather than being banned.
Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged.
AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with assignments and tests.
Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng.
According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warmed about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI.
Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to address AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias (偏见) .
12. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education?
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable D. Unclear.
13. What is the primary concern raised by the survey conducted by Study?
A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools.
B. The students’ reliance on AI tools to learn
C. Dishonest behavior in the students’ homework
D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers
14. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools?
A. Applying them in a proper and efficient way. B. Protecting them from the potential harm.
C. Prohibiting them due to academic issues D. Using them without restrictions.
15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The unique approach of China in regulating AI
B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education
C. The international cooperation in addressing AI-related issues
D. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services.

Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In the end, they would no longer trust leptin and would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, leptin levels drop. ___20___

While most of these treasure hunters find common items like cans, nails and bicycles, some lucky people have been able to find something surprising.
When George and Kevin’s magnet found a heavy object, the curious pair pulled it out to see what they had discovered. They removed years of river sand and mud from a small safe and forced it open.
Inside, they found some wet business documents, an old wallet and a bag containing $2, 500. Further check discovered that the safe also contained several bank cards, which listed the name they needed to track down the rightful owner. After some online searching, they learned that a local businessman of the same name, Robert Smith, reported his safe missing 22 years ago. George and Kevin helped right the wrong 22 years later.
George and Kevin found Robert through his current business. Shocked that someone had found his safe 22 years after it had been lost, Robert made plans to meet George and Kevin in his office.

As concerns about the environmental impact of food production continue to grow researchers and policymakers are exploring novel ways to produce protein more sustainably. One option that has been gaining attention in recent years is the use of insects as a food source.
The idea of eating crickets (蟋蟀) or mealworms doesn’t give many Western consumers a good appetite. A new study, presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy, surveyed 603 UK adults about their attitudes towards consuming insects and revealed that only 13% of respondents were willing to regularly eat insects, while 47 percent said they would not be willing to do so. However, it suggests that mixing insect-based ingredients (配料) with familiar foods could be key to overcoming the biggest barrier and making this eco-friendly protein source more palatable.
So, what makes insects such a promising alternative to traditional livestock, such as cows and sheep? Some insect proteins, such as ground crickets or freeze-dried mealworms, are cheaper and often have a lower fat content. Additionally, insect farming requires less land, water, and feed than traditional livestock and has less environmental impact. The biggest factor is that they are a rich source of protein and micro-nutrients, making them a potentially valuable tool in preventing people from both being too fat and under nutrition.
The study found that ideas about insects’ taste or sensory properties were generally unfavorable, with participants anticipating lower levels of enjoyment, liking, or sweetness and higher levels of saltiness and bitterness. However, the researchers note that attitudes towards eating insects can change over time, pointing to the example of lobster (龙虾) . Once considered a poor man’s food, these are now considered a delicacy in many parts of the world despite their insect-like appearance. To help change attitudes towards insect-based foods, the researchers suggest that more needs to be done to let consumers be well-informed of the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating insects.
8. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Profitable. B. Authoritative. C. Affordable D. Delicious.
9. What can be the main cause of insects’ likely replacing traditional livestock?
A. The raising costs. B. The rich nutrition.
C. The low fat content. D. The eco-friendly features
10. Why do the researchers mention lobsters?
A. To make a comparison. B. To highlight a problem.
C. To prove their prediction. D. To criticize an argument.
11. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?
A. How to raise insects effectively. B. Varieties of insect-based foods.
C. How to make insects more appealing D. Education of consumers eating insects.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员正在努力使昆虫成为人们饮食的一部分,但是如何打开人们对它们的食欲是最大障碍。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The idea of eating crickets or mealworms doesn’t give many Western consumers a good appetite.(吃蟋蟀或粉虫的想法不会让许多西方消费者胃口大开。)”可知,很多西方消费者不喜欢吃蟋蟀或者粉虫;再结合该词前部分“However, it suggests that mixing insect-based ingredients (配料) with familiar foods could be key to overcoming the biggest barrier (然而,它表明,将昆虫成分与熟悉的食物混合可能是克服最大障碍的关键)”可知,研究人员认为:在熟悉的食物中加入昆虫成分可能是克服这个障碍的关键,从而使这种昆虫食物更加美味。所以划线词palatable为“美味的”之意。故选 D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The biggest factor is that they are a rich source of protein and micronutrients, making them a potentially valuable tool in preventing people from both being too fat and under nutrition.(最大的因素是,它们是蛋白质和微量营养素的丰富来源,使它们成为防止人们过于肥胖和营养不足的潜在有价值的工具。)”可知,昆虫食物富有营养是它成为人类食物的主要原因。故选 B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the researchers note that attitudes towards eating insects can change over time, pointing to the example of lobster. Once considered a poor man’s food, these are now considered a delicacy in many parts of the world despite their insect-like appearance.(然而,研究人员指出,人们对吃昆虫的态度会随着时间的推移而改变,以龙虾为例。这些曾经被认为是穷人的食物,现在在世界上许多地方被认为是美味佳肴,尽管它们看起来像昆虫。)”可推知,研究人员预测昆虫食物会像龙虾一样成为人们喜爱的食物,研究人员提及龙虾是为了证明他们的预测。故选 C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“To help change attitudes towards insect-based foods, the re- searchers suggest that more needs to be done to let consumers be well-informed of the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating insects.(为了帮助改变人们对昆虫食品的态度,研究人员建议,需要做更多的工作,让消费者充分了解食用昆虫的营养和环境效益。)”可推知,作者很有可能接下来谈:教育消费者食用昆虫。故选D。

Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately applied in schools rather than being banned.
Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged.
AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with assignments and tests.
Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng.
According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warmed about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI.
Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to address AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias (偏见) .
12. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education?
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Favorable D. Unclear.
13. What is the primary concern raised by the survey conducted by Study?
A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools.
B. The students’ reliance on AI tools to learn
C. Dishonest behavior in the students’ homework
D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers
14. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools?
A. Applying them in a proper and efficient way. B. Protecting them from the potential harm.
C. Prohibiting them due to academic issues D. Using them without restrictions.
15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The unique approach of China in regulating AI
B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education
C. The international cooperation in addressing AI-related issues
D. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

What makes people gain weight? This seems like a simple enough question to answer. ___16___ However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated than we think.
As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over what they eat and how much they eat. This, however, is only partly true People form habits around food at a young age. ___17___ Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we eat.
Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more likely to gain weight or lose weight. ___18___ If we often have delicious food over time, our brains will change. Compared to people of normal weight, fat people feel more excited when they see delicious food.
___19___ Ghrelin or hunger hormones (激素) , for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin (瘦素) , meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes, they may work improperly. As we get fatter, the levels of leptin in our bodies rise. Our brains are told not to eat all the time. In the end, they would no longer trust leptin and would stop responding to its “warnings”. When we start to lose weight, leptin levels drop. ___20___
Now you know why fat people often have a tough time losing weight. They may have tried very hard, but their bodies are working against their will.
A. Our brains change as we have food.
B. If we eat a lot and lack exercise, we will become fat.
C. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food.
D. Also, various hormones tell our brains whether we are hungry.
E. They may rarely touch vegetables while overeating fried chicken.
F. Additionally, our weight determines the levels of ghrelin and leptin.

Leptin (瘦素) , meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating.(例如,胃饥饿素或称饥饿激素会告诉大脑身体需要食物。而与此同时,瘦素会告诉大脑是时候停止进食了。)”可知,下文提到了两种激素,它们都与饥饿感有关,因此可以推断出前文应该提到与饥饿感相关的激素。D项:Also, various hormones tell our brains whether we are hungry.(此外,各种激素告诉我们的大脑我们是否饿了。)符合语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Leptin (瘦素) , meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating.(而与此同时,瘦素会告诉大脑是时候停止进食了。)”和“When we start to lose weight, leptin levels drop.(当我们开始减肥时,瘦素水平会下降。)”可知,瘦素是一种告诉大脑停止进食的激素,当它的水平下降时,大脑会认为我们还在饥饿状态,从而让我们继续寻找食物C项:Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food.(我们的大脑认为我们饿了,让我们去找食物。)符合语境。故选C。

考查非谓语动词。句意:汉服是基于穿上中国汉族过去时代所穿的服装的想法,尽管最初有一些公众反对,但近年来又出现了复苏。分析句子结构可知,所给动词wear与前面的costumes构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以设空处应使用过去分词。故填worn。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:汉服是基于穿上中国汉族过去时代所穿的服装的想法,尽管最初有一些公众反对,但近年来又出现了复苏。根据时间状语in recent years可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语是which,指代Hanfu,助动词应用has。故填 has seen。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:看到中国的年轻人建立自信,发展个性,向世界展示他们的所爱,这是非常令人兴奋的。设空处所填词与developing共同作see的宾语补足语,且与宾语young Chinese people之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填building。
【39题详解】
考查比较级。句意:对于更多的中国人来说,这种着装规范可能会成为进一步探索中国传统之美的一个很好的起点。根据句意以及句子结构可知,设空处应填写副词far的比较级,修饰动词explore。故填further。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:汉服爱好者在网上称自己为“同袍”,字面意思是穿着同样的衣服来象征“同志情谊”。此处用they的反身代词themselves指代句子主语Hanfu enthusiasts,表示汉服爱好者称他们自己为同袍。故填themselves。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“汉服是年轻人与中国文化和身份联系的完美桥梁,”在西塘发起汉服文化周的诗人方文山说。根据句意可知,设空处应用所给单词 connect 的动词不定式作定语,修饰 the perfect bridge,意为“汉服是年轻人连接中国文化和身份认同的完美桥梁”。故填to connect。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“汉服是年轻人与中国文化和身份联系的完美桥梁,”在西塘发起汉服文化周的诗人方文山说。此处指Fang Wenshan是一位诗人,所以需填不定冠词表示类别。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些城市的公园、古建筑和其他地方已经成为汉服爱好者的热门景点,他们在那里穿上漂亮的汉服,在这些古老的环境中拍照。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:无论这一新趋势背后的争论是什么,现代街道上的一些传统之美确实会为城市生活增添一点活力和多样性。add…to…为固定搭配,意为“增加,添加”。故填 to。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:热播的中国古装剧也加快了汉服相关业务的发展,包括汉服设计、制作和销售的发展,促进了相关产业的繁荣。分析句子结构可知,句中的谓语动词为sped up,则设空处为非谓语动词。同时逻辑主语 Hit Chinese period dramas 与设空处之间为主谓关系,所以用现在分词作结果状语,表示意料之中的结果。故填promoting。

47. 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。
Seventeen-year-old George Grand, a soul filled with curiosity and fearlessness, spends his free time searching the riverbeds for hidden valuables. On a fateful day, his fortune smiled upon him when his magnet (磁铁) picked up a safe packed with thousands of dollars. To the astonishment of all, he started a journey to find the lawful owner of the safe and returned it to its rightful destination.
George made his unbelievable discovery one day when he was searching the river with his father, Kevin. They both enjoy magnet fishing: using a strong magnet to pull lost metal objects out of river and ocean depths. While most of these treasure hunters find common items like cans, nails and bicycles, some lucky people have been able to find something surprising.
When George and Kevin’s magnet found a heavy object, the curious pair pulled it out to see what they had discovered. They removed years of river sand and mud from a small safe and forced it open.
Inside, they found some wet business documents, an old wallet and a bag containing $2, 500. Further check discovered that the safe also contained several bank cards, which listed the name they needed to track down the rightful owner. After some online searching, they learned that a local businessman of the same name, Robert Smith, reported his safe missing 22 years ago. George and Kevin helped right the wrong 22 years later.
George and Kevin found Robert through his current business. Shocked that someone had found his safe 22 years after it had been lost, Robert made plans to meet George and Kevin in his office. He was thankful for their effort in finding his safe and was interested in meeting the young man who had made such a moral decision.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The owner of the safe told them the story of how it got lost. Back in 1992, during a canoe trip with his family, a sudden storm capsized their vessel. In the chaos, the safe, which contained his life savings and important documents, slipped into the raging river. Despite exhaustive searches, it remained lost, a bitter reminder of that fateful day. Robert expressed his gratitude, not just for the return of his property, but for the restoration of memories thought forever gone. He marveled at George’s sense of responsibility and morality in an era where such virtues were increasingly rare.
Robert was so impressed with George’s honesty that he offered him a job. Seeing George’s keen eye for detail and unwavering integrity, he envisioned him as an invaluable asset to his company. The offer was more than just a position; it was a recognition of George’s character. Robert believed that such qualities were the cornerstone of any successful business. George, overwhelmed by the unexpected opportunity, eagerly accepted. He saw it as a chance to not only earn a living but also to learn from a man he now greatly admired. George realized that the discovery and subsequent employment became a testament to the power of honesty and the transformative effects of doing good deeds.
