Now, his studio is releasing its most ambitious project yet: the Large Nature Model, the world’s first open- source generative AI model focusing on nature. Under development for DATALAND, Refik Anadol Studio’s future museum and Web3 platform devoted to data visualization and AI art, the Large Nature Model is trained on billions of open-source nature images. Interestingly, the model isn’t just for visuals; it can also produce sound and scent elements. “Blending art, technology, and nature, our model aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire innovative solutions by finding connections among isolated archives (隔离档案),” shared Anadol. “By engaging people on multiple sensory levels, the outputs of the model make the abstract concept of environmental conservation easily acceptable, encouraging a collective responsibility to act.” Anadol presented the model at the NVIDIAGTC AI Conference, where he transformed a 65-foot by 131-foot wall into a live AI data sculpture. Fed with 2.5 million sourced nature images, the wall exploded with visuals that show the model’s endless creative possibilities, amazing people present at the conference. The conference is not the only place where the Large Nature Model is on display. At London’s Serpentine Gallery, Anadol’s Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive shows his years-long experimentation with data on coral reefs and rainforests. On view until April 7, the display deepened visitors’ love of nature. “Anadol’s artworks made me fully understand the unseen yet incredible role of data in our world,” shared art critic Hans Ulrich Obrist in an interview.“I felt enveloped by the data, the richness of information and the beauty found within nature.” “This project is not about coping or replacing nature; it’s about appreciating, loving and respecting nature. We’re not replacing nature; we’re preserving it,” said Anadol. 4. What can the Large Nature Model do according to the text? A. Train a number of famous artists. B. Offer multi- sensory art experiences. C. Track global immersive installations. D. Identify outdated nature images quickly. 5. What is the Large Nature Model mainly designed for? A. Making art products available to the public. B. Inspiring more artists to get close to nature. C. Contributing to environmental conservation. D. Boosting the development of local museums. 6. What’s the function of paragraphs 4-5 in the text? A. To prove the studio’s model is incredible. B. To tell the inspiration for Anadol’s dream. C. To show environmental issues are serious. D. To highlight the barrier to using the model. 7. What did Hans Ulrich Obrist see from Anadol’s works? A. The power of data. B. The key role of a gallery. C. The cooperation of humans. D. The trend of replacing nature. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术家 Refik Anadol运用AI技术创作了世界上第一个关注自然的开放源生成AI模型。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interestingly, the model isn’t just for visuals; it can also produce sound and scent elements.(有趣的是，这个模型不仅仅是为了视觉效果；它还可以产生声音和气味元素。)”和第三段“By engaging people on multiple sensory levels, the outputs of the model make the abstract concept of environmental conservation easily acceptable, encouraging a collective responsibility to act.(通过在多个感官层面上吸引人们，模型的输出使环境保护的抽象概念易于接受，鼓励集体责任采取行动。)”可知，Large Nature Model不仅仅是视觉上的，还可以产生声音和气味元素，提供多感官的艺术体验。故选B。   【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Blending art, technology, and nature, our model aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire innovative solutions by finding connections among isolated archives.(我们的模型融合了艺术、技术和自然，旨在提高人们对环境问题的认识，并通过在孤立的档案中寻找联系来激发创新的解决方案。)”可知，Large Nature Model的主要目的是为环境保护做出贡献。故选C。   【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Fed with 2.5 million sourced nature images, the wall exploded with visuals that show the model’s endless creative possibilities, amazing people present at the conference.(墙上有250万张来自大自然的图片，其视觉效果爆满，展示了模型无限的创意可能性，让与会的人们惊叹不已。)”和第五段内容“The conference is not the only place where the Large Nature Model is on display. At London’s Serpentine Gallery, Anadol’s Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive shows his years- long experimentation with data on coral reefs and rainforests. On view until April 7, the display deepened visitors’ love of nature.(大会并不是展示大型自然模型的唯一场所。在伦敦的蛇形画廊，阿纳多的《地球的回声:生活档案》展示了他多年来对珊瑚礁和雨林数据的实验。展览将持续到4月7日，加深了游客对大自然的热爱。)”可知，这两段主要是为了证明工作室的模型是令人难以置信的。故选A。   【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Hans Ulrich Obrist说的话“Anadol’s artworks made me fully understand the unseen yet incredible role of data in our world (Anadol的作品让我充分理解了数据在我们的世界中所扮演的看不见却不可思议的角色。)”可知，Hans Ulrich Obrist从Anadol的作品中看到了数据的力量。故选A。 C At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies. Ultra- processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro- nutrients such as vitamins. Although no evidence proves that consumption of ultra-processed foods can directly cause anxiety, cancer or other health conditions, a growing body of evidence shows that ultra-processed foods contribute to the development of these conditions. A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher. A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products. 8. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Nutritious. B. Widespread. C. Cheap. D. Profitable. 9. What are the studies in paragraph 4 mainly intended to show about ultra-processed foods? A. They are linked to some health problems. B. They become more popular among adults. C. They directly lead to depressive symptoms. D. They should be consumed in a proper way. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Food companies’ future plans. B. New guidelines for food sales. C. Limits on ultra- processed foods. D. Responses to ultra- processed foods. 11. Where does the text most probably appear? A. In a health magazine. B. In a biology textbook. C. In a medical guideline. D. In a food advertisement. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近发表在《英国医学杂志》上的一项研究发现，大量食用超加工食品的人患焦虑、抑郁和某些癌症的风险更高，建议人们不要吃太多超加工食品。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后“Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro- nutrients such as vitamins.(其中最常见的是精制面包、快餐、含糖饮料、饼干和其他包装零食。它们通常盐、糖、脂肪和卡路里含量高，而纤维和维生素等微量营养素含量低。)”可知，超加工食品在我们的食品供应中无处不在。common“普遍的”也是超加工零食广泛存在的我们生活，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher.（去年发表的一项研究发现，习惯大量食用超加工食品的人患癌症的可能性是食用超加工食品最少的人的三倍左右。当谈到情绪和精神健康状况时，法国的一项研究表明，保持不健康饮食的成年人有更多的抑郁症状。研究人员沃尔夫冈·马克思(Wolfgang Marx)说:“我们发现，饮食中含有大量超加工食品的人患抑郁症状的风险增加了大约20%至50%。”）”可知，第4段中关于超加工食品的研究主要是为了说明它们与一些健康问题有关。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products.（作为更新国家膳食指南进程的一部分，一个顾问小组目前正在评估所有最新的饮食和营养研究。他们可能会建议对超加工食品进行限制。在监管方面，美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)正在推进最终确定‘健康’一词的新定义。美国食品和药物管理局表示，食品标签上的‘健康’声明可以帮助消费者快速识别更健康的选择，并可能鼓励食品公司改进他们的产品。）”可知，最后一段主要讲述了对超加工食品的反应。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies.（当美国人每天从超加工食品中消耗一半以上的热量时，越来越多的证据表明，吃太多这些食物会让我们生病。最近发表在《英国医学杂志》上的一项研究发现，大量食用这些食物的人患焦虑、抑郁和某些癌症的风险更高。这些数据来自于参与了数十项研究的900多万人。）”可知，本文主要介绍发表在《英国医学杂志》上的一项研究，大量食用超加工食品的人患焦虑、抑郁和某些癌症的风险更高。可以推断出选自健康杂志。故选A。 D Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home. It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.” That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities. Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items. When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species. “Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state,” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover. On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats. 12. Why did the middle-aged man feel unhappy? A. He saw his tigers badly treated. B. He had no one but tigers to rely on. C. He had to say goodbye to his tigers. D. He was punished by an official agent. 13. What can be known about the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center? A. It only takes in unhealthy animals. B. It has seen the drop of tiger trades in Asia. C. It allows individuals to adopt rescued animals. D. It has made achievements in saving species. 14. What can we learn about the six tigers from the last paragraph? A. They will be released into the wild very soon. B. They will live a comfortable life in the center. C. They will be quarantined for a longer period. D. They are living in harmony with other species. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. A Rescue Center Is Taking Off B. Six Tigers Find a New Home C. Many Tigers Are in Danger in Viet Nam D. New Arrivals Adapt Quickly in a Shelter 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了越南的一个野生动物救助中心救助老虎的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.”(这对他们的主人来说是悲伤的时刻。“近20年来，我一直把他们当作自己的孩子，”这位中年男子说。“但我老了，所以我们家决定自愿把老虎交给一个值得信赖的地方。”)”可知，这位中年男子因为不得不和他养了近20年的老虎告别而感到不开心。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species.(自1996年开业以来，该中心已经拯救并接收了超过32,000只动物，包括100多个不同的物种。)”可知，河内野生动物救援中心在拯救物种方面取得了成就。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats.(最近一个夏天的下午，在安静的环境中，几只老虎在混凝土水池里喝水，在满是树叶的大围栏里睡觉，或者拍着挂在笼子顶上的一簇簇树叶。一旦隔离期结束，来自Thai Nguyen的六只老虎将加入它们的大型猫科动物同伴。)”可知，这六只老虎在隔离期结束后将会和其他大型猫科动物一起生活，说明它们将在中心过上舒适的生活。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home.(在一所大房子后面，六只老虎在围栏里走来走去。这是越南北部多山的太原省的早晨。后院的陌生人——一个由河内野生动物救援中心的动物专家和森林保护部门的代表组成的团队——是来把老虎搬到新家的。)”和最后一段“On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats.(最近一个夏天的下午，在安静的环境中，几只老虎在混凝土水池里喝水，在满是树叶的大围栏里睡觉，或者拍着挂在笼子顶上的一簇簇树叶。一旦隔离期结束，来自Thai Nguyen的六只老虎将加入它们的大型猫科动物同伴。)可知，文章主要讲述了六只老虎离开主人，被送到河内野生动物救援中心的新家，因此最佳标题为“六只老虎找到了新家”。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a teenager, I read unpredictable science fiction books, insightful history books, interesting popular science books, and so on… ___16___.

We’d made it to northern Indiana after driving all afternoon and evening, heading home from a family vacation in Wisconsin. We’d gotten a late start packing up, none of us wanting to leave our lakeside hotel before we had to. Now we were paying the price. It would be past midnight when we got home. My wife Jeannie, who was always thoughtful and positive, drove for some time to allow me to take a break from driving. Now I took the turn. However, I wasn’t so alert (警觉的). I turned on the radio, softly, so as not to disturb my wife, who was sleeping beside me. I was on a two-lane state highway. It was slower than the interstate, but less stressful. I generally didn’t mind driving late at night, though I really could have used a cup of coffee. I had a look at my three sleeping children, ages 14, 10, and 3, in the back seat. “Keep alert!” I said to myself. The voice of my 3-year-old son, Jon, broke the silence. “I have to go to the bathroom, Dad.” I couldn’t stop in the middle of the highway in the dark. But right up ahead was a building. A diner. Maybe a chance to get that coffee. I pulled into the parking lot. The restaurant was closed. I looked around and saw the tall grass surrounding the lot. That would have to do for Jon. I led Jon there. As he took care of business, I tried to drive away a mosquito that flew out of the grass. Then another. And another. I urged Jon to hurry. We ran back to the car and closed the doors. Jeannie, our oldest daughter Amy, and Jennifer who still wore her hat were wide awake. I felt a mosquito touch down on my neck. I said, “I sure picked the wrong place to stop.” Jeannie patted me on the arm and attempted to catch the mosquito. I switched on the light in the car. The children were screaming, “They’re everywhere!” “You do the driving,” Jeannie quickly said to me with a smile. “Let us take care of the mosquitoes.” The children readily agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I started the car and my family started to fight against the mosquitoes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As their voices of victory continued, I became totally alert. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I started the car and my family started to fight against the mosquitoes. Jeannie began methodically clapping the mosquitoes between her hands. Amy took charge of the back seat crew and attacked the mosquitoes happily. Jennifer also successfully trapped some with her hat. Jon laughed, determined to keep up with his sisters. Jeannie began announcing each one she vanquished. “One, two, three, ” she counted off. The kids joined in, the number of victories growing rapidly. “Nine,ten,eleven.” As their voices of victory continued, I became totally alert. The effect was better than drinking a cup of coffee. “Fifteen!”Clap. “Sixteen!” I laughed at how excited they had become. Only at 39, when the last mosquito was taken care of, did things settle down. By the time I pulled into our driveway, Jeannie and the kids were sound asleep again, the car blissfully silent. I paused for a moment to reflect on the last leg of the trip and smiled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了一家人在深夜驱车回家途中，因孩子尿急停车却发现餐厅关门，只能野外如厕，却遭遇蚊子围攻。全家合力拍打蚊子，最终成功驱散，到家时家人已入睡，作者微笑回味旅程，这段经历让疲惫的旅程增添了不少乐趣。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我发动汽车，我的家人开始与蚊子作斗争。”可知，第一段可描写我负责开车的时候，全家人与蚊子作斗争的场景。 ②由第二段句首内容“当他们胜利的声音继续响起时，我完全警觉起来。”可知，第二段可描写随着打蚊子的继续，我变得警觉以及消灭了蚊子之后家人酣睡的情景以及我的感受。 2.续写线索：全家与蚊子作斗争—情绪高涨—变得警觉—消灭蚊子全家酣睡—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①负责：take charge of/be responsible for ②征服，击败：vanquish/conquer/defeat ③参加：join in/take part in 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/gladly/joyfully/delightedly ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】 The kids joined in, the number of victories growing rapidly. “Nine,ten,eleven.”(运用了独立主格结构 【高分句型2】 Only at 39, when the last mosquito was taken care of, did things settle down. ( 运用了only+时间状语从句位于句首引出的部分倒装句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B While many of us have only become familiar with AI over the past year or so, artist Refik Anadol has been using the technology for years to create immersive installations (沉浸式装置). Now, his studio is releasing its most ambitious project yet: the Large Nature Model, the world’s first open- source generative AI model focusing on nature. Under development for DATALAND, Refik Anadol Studio’s future museum and Web3 platform devoted to data visualization and AI art, the Large Nature Model is trained on billions of open-source nature images. Interestingly, the model isn’t just for visuals; it can also produce sound and scent elements. “Blending art, technology, and nature, our model aims to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire innovative solutions by finding connections among isolated archives (隔离档案),” shared Anadol. “By engaging people on multiple sensory levels, the outputs of the model make the abstract concept of environmental conservation easily acceptable, encouraging a collective responsibility to act.” Anadol presented the model at the NVIDIAGTC AI Conference, where he transformed a 65-foot by 131-foot wall into a live AI data sculpture. Fed with 2.5 million sourced nature images, the wall exploded with visuals that show the model’s endless creative possibilities, amazing people present at the conference. The conference is not the only place where the Large Nature Model is on display. At London’s Serpentine Gallery, Anadol’s Echoes of the Earth: Living Archive shows his years-long experimentation with data on coral reefs and rainforests. On view until April 7, the display deepened visitors’ love of nature. “Anadol’s artworks made me fully understand the unseen yet incredible role of data in our world,” shared art critic Hans Ulrich Obrist in an interview.“I felt enveloped by the data, the richness of information and the beauty found within nature.” “This project is not about coping or replacing nature; it’s about appreciating, loving and respecting nature. We’re not replacing nature; we’re preserving it,” said Anadol. 4. What can the Large Nature Model do according to the text? A. Train a number of famous artists. B. Offer multi- sensory art experiences. C. Track global immersive installations. D. Identify outdated nature images quickly. 5. What is the Large Nature Model mainly designed for? A. Making art products available to the public. B. Inspiring more artists to get close to nature. C. Contributing to environmental conservation. D. Boosting the development of local museums. 6. What’s the function of paragraphs 4-5 in the text? A. To prove the studio’s model is incredible. B. To tell the inspiration for Anadol’s dream. C. To show environmental issues are serious. D. To highlight the barrier to using the model. 7. What did Hans Ulrich Obrist see from Anadol’s works? A. The power of data. B. The key role of a gallery. C. The cooperation of humans. D. The trend of replacing nature. C At a time when Americans consume more than half of their daily calories from ultra-processed (超加工的) foods, there is increasing evidence showing that eating too much of these foods can make us sick. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and certain cancers. The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies. Ultra- processed foods are ubiquitous in our food supply. Among the most common are highly refined breads, fast food, sugary drinks, cookies, and other packaged snacks. They are often high in salt, sugar, fat and calories and low in fiber and micro- nutrients such as vitamins. Although no evidence proves that consumption of ultra-processed foods can directly cause anxiety, cancer or other health conditions, a growing body of evidence shows that ultra-processed foods contribute to the development of these conditions. A study published last year found people in the habit of consuming high levels of ultra-processed foods were about three times more likely to develop cancer, compared to those who consumed the least. When it comes to mood and mental health conditions, a French study showed that adults who maintained an unhealthy diet had more depressive symptoms. “We saw a roughly 20 to 50% increased risk of depressive symptoms in people who had diets that were high in ultra-processed foods,” says Wolfgang Marx, a researcher. A panel of advisors is currently evaluating all the latest diet and nutrition studies as part of a process to update the country’s Dietary Guidelines. It is possible that they could recommend limits on ultra-processed foods. On the regulatory side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving ahead to finalize a new definition of the term “healthy”. The FDA says a “healthy” claim on food labels could help consumers identify healthier choices with a quick look and may encourage food companies to improve their products. 8. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Nutritious. B. Widespread. C. Cheap. D. Profitable. 9. What are the studies in paragraph 4 mainly intended to show about ultra-processed foods? A. They are linked to some health problems. B. They become more popular among adults. C. They directly lead to depressive symptoms. D. They should be consumed in a proper way. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A Food companies’ future plans. B. New guidelines for food sales. C. Limits on ultra- processed foods. D. Responses to ultra- processed foods. 11. Where does the text most probably appear? A. In a health magazine. B. In a biology textbook. C. In a medical guideline. D. In a food advertisement. D Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home. It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.” That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center. The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities. Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items. When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species. “Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover. On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats. 12. Why did the middle-aged man feel unhappy? A. He saw his tigers badly treated. B. He had no one but tigers to rely on. C. He had to say goodbye to his tigers. D. He was punished by an official agent. 13. What can be known about the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center? A. It only takes in unhealthy animals. B. It has seen the drop of tiger trades in Asia. C. It allows individuals to adopt rescued animals. D. It has made achievements in saving species. 14. What can we learn about the six tigers from the last paragraph? A. They will be released into the wild very soon. B. They will live a comfortable life in the center. C. They will be quarantined for a longer period. D. They are living in harmony with other species. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. A Rescue Center Is Taking Off B. Six Tigers Find a New Home C. Many Tigers Are in Danger in Viet Nam D. New Arrivals Adapt Quickly in a Shelter 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a teenager, I read unpredictable science fiction books, insightful history books, interesting popular science books, and so on… ___16___.

We’d made it to northern Indiana after driving all afternoon and evening, heading home from a family vacation in Wisconsin. We’d gotten a late start packing up, none of us wanting to leave our lakeside hotel before we had to. Now we were paying the price. It would be past midnight when we got home. My wife Jeannie, who was always thoughtful and positive, drove for some time to allow me to take a break from driving. Now I took the turn. However, I wasn’t so alert (警觉的). I turned on the radio, softly, so as not to disturb my wife, who was sleeping beside me. I was on a two-lane state highway. It was slower than the interstate, but less stressful. I generally didn’t mind driving late at night, though I really could have used a cup of coffee. I had a look at my three sleeping children, ages 14, 10, and 3, in the back seat. “Keep alert!” I said to myself. The voice of my 3-year-old son, Jon, broke the silence. “I have to go to the bathroom, Dad.” I couldn’t stop in the middle of the highway in the dark. But right up ahead was a building. A diner. Maybe a chance to get that coffee. I pulled into the parking lot. The restaurant was closed. I looked around and saw the tall grass surrounding the lot. That would have to do for Jon. I led Jon there. As he took care of business, I tried to drive away a mosquito that flew out of the grass. Then another. And another. I urged Jon to hurry. We ran back to the car and closed the doors. Jeannie, our oldest daughter Amy, and Jennifer who still wore her hat were wide awake. I felt a mosquito touch down on my neck. I said, “I sure picked the wrong place to stop.” Jeannie patted me on the arm and attempted to catch the mosquito. I switched on the light in the car. The children were screaming, “They’re everywhere!” “You do the driving,” Jeannie quickly said to me with a smile. “Let us take care of the mosquitoes.” The children readily agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I started the car and my family started to fight against the mosquitoes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As their voices of victory continued, I became totally alert. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
