The Best Bakeries in Paris
Le Grenier à Pain
152 Rue Oberkampf, Paris
Winner of the 2010 prize for Best Baguette in Paris, this famous bakery located in the heart of Montmartre is run by Michel Galloyer. The decoration is appealing, with the breads and cakes strikingly presented. The almond (杏仁) bread is amazing, and the chocolate pies are second-to-none. Breads are reasonably priced, while the chocolate pies are slightly above average, but in this instance, worth the extra cents.
Poilâne
8 Rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris
Established by Pierre Poilane in 1932, this bakery has stood the test of time. Son Lionel continues to bake bread in the original wood-fired oven. Sourdough bread baked from stone-ground flour is a specialty here, as are delicate butter cookies. The unique online ordering system offers potential original gifts, or the chance to keep up your bread habit if your trip to Paris is temporary.
Maison Kayser
14 Rue Monge, Paris
Three generations of Kaysers have established a number of bakeries across Paris, where they sell their unique variety of bread, comprising a mix of milk, hazelnuts and honey. The multigrain loaf has a notably light and fluffy (松软的) texture and makes for a perfect breakfast treat. Ready-made sandwiches and salads are a lunchtime feature at this Latin Quarter bakery.
Au 140
140 Rue de Belleville, Paris
Au 140 counts a list of awards to its name. The official supplier to the presidential palace in2001, its baguette was named the best in Paris that same year. Talented baker Pierre Demoney also earned the bakery second prize in Paris’ croissant competition. Au 140 features a large selection of organic breads to choose from, which are worth the detour (绕路).
1. Which is the most famous food of Le Grenier à Pain?
A. Almond breads. B. Chocolate pies. C. Butter cookies. D. Multigrain cakes.
2. What do Poilâne and Maison Kayser have in common?
A They were established in the 1930s. B. They both won several prizes in Paris.
C. They are family-owned businesses. D. They bake bread in a traditional way.

Four astronauts headed to the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday where they will oversee the arrivals of two new rocketships during their half- year stay.
SpaceX’s Falcon rocket was launched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying NASA’s Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps and Russia’s Alexander Grebenkin. The astronauts should reach the orbiting lab on Tuesday. They will replace a crew from the US, Denmark, Japan and Russia, who have been there since August.
“When are you getting here already?” space station commander Andreas Mogensen asked via Twitter, after three days of delay due to high wind. SpaceX Launch Control termed it “fashionably late”. There was almost another postponement Sunday night. A small leak in the seal of the SpaceX capsule’s hatch caused a last- minute flurry (忙乱) of reviews, but it was thought safe for the whole mission.
The new crew’s six- month stay includes the arrival of two rocketships ordered by NASA.Boeing’s new Starliner capsule with test pilots is due in late April. A month or two later, Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser, a mini shuttle, should arrive. It is for delivering supplies to the station, but not passengers yet.
Epps, who is from New York, is the second Black woman assigned to a long station mission. She said before the flight that she was especially proud to be a role model for girls, especially for Black girls, demonstrating that spaceflight “is an option for them, and that this is not just for other people”.
Also new to space are Dominick, a Navy pilot, and Grebenkin, a former Russian military officer. Barratt, a doctor on his third mission, is the oldest full- time astronaut to fly in space. He turns 65 in April. As for his age, he said before the flight, “As long as we stay healthy and fit and engaged, we’re good to fly.”
4. Why were the four astronauts sent to the ISS?
A. To train test pilots for Starliner. B. To monitor the new rocketships.
C. To deliver supplies to the station. D. To replace the crew on the station.
5. What delayed the astronauts’ arrival?
A. The leak in the capsule. B. Bad weather conditions.
C. An interview with the media. D. Repair work on the rocket.
6. What do we know about Dominick?
A. He worked as an officer in the army. B. He was a full- time astronaut from Russia.
C. He performed the task for the first time. D. He was in charge of the space program.
7. What do Epps’ words suggest?
A. Females are capable of investigating space.
B. Age is a decisive factor in space tasks.
C. Her work makes her a role model for girls.
D. Space technology is a great challenge for girls.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章阐述了4名宇航员进入国际空间站,开始为期6个月新任务。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“They will replace a crew from the US, Denmark, Japan and Russia, who have been there since August.(他们将取代自8月以来一直在那里的美国、丹麦、日本和俄罗斯的船员)”可知,这四名宇航员去ISS是为了替代航空站的机组人员。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的““When are you getting here already?” space station commander Andreas Mogensen asked via Twitter, after three days of delay due to high wind.( “你什么时候到这儿?”由于大风,空间站指挥官安德烈亚斯·莫根森(Andreas Mogensen)推迟了三天,他在推特上问道)”可知,因为天气不好推迟了宇航员的到达。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Also new to space are Dominick, a Navy pilot, and Grebenkin, a former Russian military officer.(新进入太空的还有海军飞行员多米尼克(Dominick)和前俄罗斯军官格林本金(Grebenkin))”可知,Dominick是第一次执行任务。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Epps, who is from New York, is the second Black woman assigned to a long station mission. She said before the flight that she was especially proud to be a role model for girls, especially for Black girls, demonstrating that spaceflight “is an option for them, and that this is not just for other people”.(来自纽约的埃普斯是第二位被指派执行长期空间站任务的黑人女性。她在飞行前说,她特别自豪能成为女孩的榜样,尤其是黑人女孩,这表明太空飞行“是她们的一种选择,而不仅仅是他人的选择”)”可知,从Epps的话中可推断,女性也有探索空间的能力。故选A。
C
If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently, you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos.
What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.
However, as silly as it seems, Reels — is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format was first pioneered by TikTok—the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it was launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month — including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.
The format is almost perfectly optimized to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want.
Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube (which it owns) a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them.
8. What does the author intend to express by referring to his own experience?
A. Short videos play a significant role in his life.
B. People often lose themselves in short videos unconsciously.
C. Short videos have multiple functions that attract potential users.
D. The author prefers short clips of people making dinner to others
9. Why are short videos on Tiktok gaining much popularity among users?
A. Because they present breathtaking visual effects.
B. Because they include high-quality content.
C. Because users can change from one video to the next effortlessly.
D. Because users can use an algorithm to choose videos they really want.
10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Tiktok is regarded as a competitive opponent to Facebook.
B. Tiktok has attracted 23 million UK users since it was launched in 2016.
C. Tiktok has lost its attraction among “Gen Z”.
D. Tiktok’s market share has been falling due to fierce competition.
11. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Many western companies have integrated Tiktok into their own apps.
B. Tiktok’s leading position in short videos is unchangeable
C. Big tech companies are competing for more short video users
D. Highly addictive short video apps should be removed.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了短视频平台的市场竞争激烈,越来越多的用户选择短视频。尽管如今 Tiktok在短视频领域占据着领先地位,但是You Tube和Facebook 将会研发更多类似于Reels和 Shorts 的短视频平台以获取更多的用户。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.(这个“Reels”功能的奇怪之处在于它非常容易上瘾,我从自己的个人经历中非常了解这一点。上周五,我休息了一下,突然看到一个人在做晚饭的短片,20分钟后,我再次抬头看时,电脑显示器上的空白文件向我证实,我的工作还没有完成)”可知,作者想通过引用自己的经历来表达人们经常不自觉地在短视频中迷失自我。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The format is almost perfectly optimized to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly.(这种格式几乎是完美的优化,尽可能让人上瘾:Tik Tok的应用程序会向你展示一段短视频,如果你不喜欢,你可以简单地把它移开,另一段视频就会立即开始播放)”可知,抖音上的短视频在用户中如此受欢迎是因为用户可以毫不费力地从一个视频切换到下一个。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.(Tik Tok之所以能成为Facebook社交媒体霸主地位的强大挑战者,几乎完全归功于这类短视频)”可知,Tiktok一直被视为Facebook 社交媒体主导地位的强大挑战者,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month — including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.(如今,抖音每月有大约2300万英国用户——基本上包括你认识的所有25岁以下的人。这一事实让Facebook及其母公司Meta非常紧张。随着TikTok的持续繁荣,Facebook在“Z世代”中的受欢迎程度实际上有所下降。Tik Tok之所以能成为Facebook社交媒体霸主地位的强大挑战者,几乎完全归功于这类短视频)”结合文章可知,文章说明了短视频平台的市场竞争激烈,越来越多的用户选择短视频。尽管如今 Tiktok在短视频领域占据着领先地位,但是You Tube和Facebook 将会研发更多类似于Reels和 Shorts 的短视频平台以获取更多的用户。即这篇文章的主旨是大型科技公司正在争夺更多的短视频用户。故选C。
D
Willful ignorance exists in large amount in daily life. People regularly look the other way rather than examining the consequences of their actions. Despite plenty of scientific evidence for climate change, for instance, many people still avoid engaging with facts about global warming.
We wanted to understand how common willful ignorance is and why people engage in it. After collecting data from multiple research projects that involved more than 6, 000 individuals, we discovered that willful ignorance is common and harmful, with 40 percent of people choosing “not to know” the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains. But we also found that about 40 percent of people are unselfish: rather than avoiding information about the consequences of their actions, they seek it out to increase the benefits to others.
In the experiments, the decisions were made in one of two settings. In the transparent (透明的) setting, decision-makers had information about how their choice would affect themselves and their partners. In an ambiguous setting, decision-makers knew how their choice would matter for themselves but not for their teammates — although they could request that insight.
The overall balance tipped toward selfishness when participants had the option to avoid information. Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partners — a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition.
If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions, it may make people feel less threatened and, as a result, be less willfully ignorant. Other research groups have found promising ways to do this. For instance, we could encourage people to think more positively about good deeds rather than guilt-trip them for what they have failed to do. Highlighting recent global achievements, such as healing the ozone (臭氧) layer, can inspire people to keep up the good work rather than feeling like the battle is lost and that the situation is hopeless.
In short, we can encourage one another and ourselves toward more selfless and generous actions.
12. What causes people to ignore the effect of their behaviors deliberately?
A. They want the biggest personal benefits without feeling ashamed.
B. They hold the belief that willful ignorance is socially acceptable.
C. They are unsure about the results of their actions.
D. They always take others’ benefits into consideration.
13. What can be concluded from experiments mentioned in the passage?
A. People in the ambiguous setting were more aware of the impact of their decisions
B. More than half of the participants are selfish in the transparent condition.
C. All people in both settings chose to put their partners’ interests in the first place
D. Some people still increased the benefits of others although they could avoid information
14. Which of the following is the author likely to agree with?
A. Highlighting the difficulties of ozone layer healing inspires people to keep up the good work.
B. Paying less attention to the morality of decisions is helpful to decrease willful ignorance
C. Having a sense of guilt enables people to take global issues seriously
D. Stressing the threats of willful ignorance contributes to more selfless and generous actions
15. In which column of a newspaper can we read the passage?
A. Literature B. Technology C. Archaeology. D. Psychology.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们在日常生活中存在的故意无视行为及其原因和影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“with 40 percent of people choosing ‘not to know’ the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains. (40%的人选择“不知道”他们行为的后果,以免感到内疚,同时最大化自己的利益。)”可知,很多人故意忽视行为后果的原因是为了个人利益。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partners — a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition. (只有39%的人在模糊情境中做出了最终有利于其伙伴的选择——相比透明情境中的55%有显著下降。)”可知,在模糊的环境中,仍有39%的人选择了最终有利于他们伙伴的决定。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions, it may make people feel less threatened and, as a result, be less willfully ignorant. (如果我们能避免在决策上过分强调道德,可能会让人们感觉不那么受威胁,从而减少故意无视的行为。)”可知,减少对决策道德性的关注有助于减少故意无知。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Willful ignorance exists in large amount in daily life. People regularly look the other way rather than examining the consequences of their actions. (故意无视在日常生活中大量存在。人们经常视而不见,而不是审视自己行为的后果。)”可知,文章讨论了人们在日常生活中故意忽视行为后果的心理现象,因此最有可能出现在心理学栏目。故选D。

Here’s How to Use Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a powerful design tool that can transform a room. Here are tips to see how it’s done.
Where should the wallpaper go?
The first step is figuring out where you’re going to hang the wallpaper. Keep in mind: ___16___. Smaller, darker spaces are the best places to hang wallpaper. Larger rooms with great light and beautiful views are often better left alone.
Once you’ve settled on a room, your decisions aren’t over. Where exactly in that room should you hang the paper? A typical installation involves covering all four walls. ___17___.
Measure and plan the installation
Measure the walls or ceiling you plan to cover and consider how the width of the roll you’ve chosen will work in the space.
___18___, but if you have a large-scale pattern, try to make sure the center of that pattern is right where you want it. Similarly, try to avoid placing the roll in such a way that you end up having to use thin scraps (小块) of wallpaper in the corners of the room.
Prepare the wall
___19___. If your wall has many minor imperfections, you may want to use blank wallpaper to help smooth things out. If your wall has lumps and bumps, holes or a thick texture, those problems will be visible on the surface of the paper if you don’t correct them before installation. Popped nail-heads should be hammered flat, and holes should be filled.
___20___
With all the decisions made, it’s time to stick the wallpaper up with glue. You may hire a professional installer, but you can hang the wallpaper yourself. Once the wallpaper is hung, don’t be afraid to hang decorative pictures.
A. Stick it up
B. It’s not worth fixing the wall
C. Decorate the room with pictures
D. Small-scale patterns provide flexibility
E. Wallpaper isn’t a fix for damaged or uneven walls
F. Not all rooms are good candidates for wallpapering
G. Another option is wallpapering the ceiling instead of the walls
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了使用墙纸的方法,包括选择合适的房间、做好测量和安装计划、处理墙面以及粘贴。
【16题详解】
前文“The first step is figuring out where you’re going to hang the wallpaper. Keep in mind (第一步是找出你要把墙纸贴在哪里。记住)”指出选择合适贴墙纸的房间,后文“Smaller, darker spaces are the best places to hang wallpaper. Larger rooms with great light and beautiful views are often better left alone. (较小、较暗的空间是贴墙纸的最佳场所。光线充足、景色优美的大房间最好不要贴墙纸)”说明哪种房间适合贴墙纸,哪种不适合,因此F项“Not all rooms are good candidates for wallpapering (并不是所有的房间都适合贴墙纸)”符合语境,提醒墙纸并非适用于所有房间,承上启下。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“Where exactly in that room should you hang the paper? A typical installation involves covering all four walls. (你应该把墙纸贴在房间的什么地方?典型的安装包括覆盖所有四面墙)”提到选择房间内贴墙纸的位置,一种是贴满四面墙,因此G项“Another option is wallpapering the ceiling instead of the walls (另一个选择是在天花板上贴墙纸,而不是墙壁)”符合语境,指出另一种是把墙纸贴天花板上,承接前文。故选G。
【18题详解】
后文“but if you have a large-scale pattern, try to make sure the center of that pattern is right where you want it. (但是如果你有一个大规模的图案,试着确保图案的中心在你想要的位置)”有转折,提到使用大规模的图案的注意事项,因此D项“Small-scale patterns provide flexibility (小规模图案提供灵活性)”符合语境,说明使用小规模图案的好处,Small-scale patterns和a large-scale pattern形成对比。故选D。
【19题详解】
本段小标题“Prepare the wall (准备墙面)”表明本段与墙面的情况有关,后文“If your wall has many minor imperfections, you may want to use blank wallpaper to help smooth things out. If your wall has lumps and bumps, holes or a thick texture, those problems will be visible on the surface of the paper if you don’t correct them before installation. Popped nail-heads should be hammered flat, and holes should be filled. (如果你的墙壁有许多小瑕疵,你可能想要使用空白壁纸来使之变得平滑。如果你的墙面有肿块、凸起、孔洞或较厚的纹理,如果你在安装前不加以纠正,这些问题就会在纸的表面显现出来。凸起的钉头应钉平,孔应填满)”建议贴墙纸前需要把墙面的一些问题处理好,因此E项“Wallpaper isn’t a fix for damaged or uneven walls (墙纸并不能修复损坏或凹凸不平的墙壁)”符合语境,指出墙纸不能解决墙壁的一些问题,引出后文的建议。故选E。
【20题详解】
空处是段落标题,需统领段落内容。根据后文“With all the decisions made, it’s time to stick the wallpaper up with glue. You may hire a professional installer, but you can hang the wallpaper yourself. Once the wallpaper is hung, don’t be afraid to hang decorative pictures. (做了所有的决定之后,是时候用胶水把墙纸粘起来了。你可以聘请专业的安装人员,但你可以自己挂墙纸。墙纸挂好后,不要怕挂装饰画)”可知,本段主要与最后贴墙纸相关,因此A项“Stick it up (粘贴起来)”符合语境,契合段落内容。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。中国国家博物馆正在举办一场名为“鉴往知来:新时代中国考古成就展”的展览,展示了来自43家博物馆和考古机构的近400件最新出土文物,涵盖多个历史时期和领域,展示了中华文明的形成与发展,以及考古工作的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:目前,43家博物馆和考古机构收藏的近400件最新出土文物正在展出。are是本句的谓语动词,空处为非谓语动词作定语,cultural relics和unearth为动宾关系,需填过去分词形式。故填unearthed。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,43家博物馆和考古机构收藏的近400件最新出土文物正在展出。空处修饰整个句子,需用副词形式,作状语。故填currently。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:展品涵盖了广泛的时期,包括各种领域。空处连接cover和include两个并列谓语,应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:展览生动地描述了人类起源的历史、中华文明的形成及其在中国境内的发展。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,此处应用form的名词形式formation,意为“形成”,不可数名词。故填formation。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:展览的一个引人注目的部分是手斧,这是早期人类创造和使用的基本工具。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是hand axes,指物,从句中缺少主语,应用which引导该从句。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们的特点是兼具美学和实用功能。根据空前形容词practical可知,空处需填名词,function在此处指“功能”,可数名词,其前无冠词,所以应用其复数形式表泛指。故填functions。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:山西运城的一个春秋时期的青铜盒子以其优雅的设计而闻名。此处表示“来自”山西运城的一个青铜盒子,应用介词from。故填from。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:山西运城的一个春秋时期的青铜盒子以其优雅的设计而闻名。空处作定语从句的谓语动词,是对客观事实的陈述,应用一般现在时,that指代先行词a bronze box,是单数主语,故谓语动词date应用第三人称单数形式。故填dates。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:而一个串纹炉灶生动地反映了丝绸之路在连接中国与世界方面发挥的重要作用。空处位于介词in之后,应用动名词形式。故填connecting。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同样值得注意的是,展览馆的设计灵感来自考古遗址独特的空间结构,为观众提供了更好地了解考古工作与其成果之间关系的机会。名词chance后面需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to understand。

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。
Bonnie raised her granddaughter alone after the girl’s parents died. She hated her granddaughter’s art and wanted her to stop drawing. But everything changed when Mr. Henderson, a famous cartoonist, appeared at her doorstep.
One day, Bonnie called out to Amy as she took the chicken out. “Dinner is ready, honey! Come soon!” But Amy didn’t answer.
Bonnie finished setting the table and served them dinner, but she still didn’t hear a response from Amy. “Amy? Honey, your dinner is getting cold! Are you coming?” she asked her 10-year-old granddaughter again.
When Amy didn’t respond, Bonnie climbed the stairs to the girl’s room and pushed the door open. Amy sat at her desk, with her headphones on. At first, Bonnie thought Amy was studying, but then she noticed the drawing sheet on the table in front of Amy. Bonnie frowned (皱眉) in anger.
“Amy!” Bonnie screamed, and the girl turned around and removed her headphones.
“Granny? I… I was just…” Amy said.
Bonnie stormed up to Amy’s desk, and the little girl tried to cover the drawing, but it was too late.
“Did you finish your math homework, little girl? Mrs. Warren called me today. And she told me you’ve been ignoring her assignments!” Bonnie said angrily.
“I’ll finish the homework,” Amy said. “I was planning on doing it once I finished the sketch (素描) I was working on, Granny.”
“I’m tired of that hobby of yours, Amy! You’re no longer doing those drawings!” Bonnie went on. “Those things you draw are not going to help you in the future! You finish your dinner, and then you’ll be doing your homework. You’re not leaving the house to play with your friends until you finish your homework. Am I clear?” Bonnie said and stormed out of Amy’s room.
Minutes later, Amy walked into the kitchen and quietly sat at the table. They began eating dinner in silence. Bonnie was already in a terrible mood, so she didn’t ask about Amy’s day like she usually did. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
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。
Amy answered the door and was surprised to see Mr. Henderson.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bonnie hesitated for a long time and decided to ask Mrs. Warren for advice.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Amy answered the door and was surprised to see Mr. Henderson. His kind eyes and warm smile instantly put her at ease. "Hello there, young artist," he greeted her. Amy blushed, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Is everything alright, dear?" Bonnie appeared behind Amy, her expression wary. Mr. Henderson introduced himself and explained how he had seen Amy's artwork at a local exhibition. He praised her talent and encouraged her to keep drawing.
Bonnie hesitated for a long time and decided to ask Mrs. Warren for advice. After a thoughtful conversation, Mrs. Warren helped Bonnie see the value in Amy's passion for art. She suggested that nurturing Amy's creativity could lead to a bright future. With newfound understanding, Bonnie returned home and found Amy in her room, lost in another drawing. This time, Bonnie sat beside her, watching in awe as Amy's imagination unfolded on the paper. She realized that, perhaps, supporting Amy's artistic journey was the best way to honor her daughter's memory and ensure a fulfilling future for her granddaughter.

The Best Bakeries in Paris
Le Grenier à Pain
152 Rue Oberkampf, Paris
Winner of the 2010 prize for Best Baguette in Paris, this famous bakery located in the heart of Montmartre is run by Michel Galloyer. The decoration is appealing, with the breads and cakes strikingly presented. The almond (杏仁) bread is amazing, and the chocolate pies are second-to-none. Breads are reasonably priced, while the chocolate pies are slightly above average, but in this instance, worth the extra cents.
Poilâne
8 Rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris
Established by Pierre Poilane in 1932, this bakery has stood the test of time. Son Lionel continues to bake bread in the original wood-fired oven. Sourdough bread baked from stone-ground flour is a specialty here, as are delicate butter cookies. The unique online ordering system offers potential original gifts, or the chance to keep up your bread habit if your trip to Paris is temporary.
Maison Kayser
14 Rue Monge, Paris
Three generations of Kaysers have established a number of bakeries across Paris, where they sell their unique variety of bread, comprising a mix of milk, hazelnuts and honey. The multigrain loaf has a notably light and fluffy (松软的) texture and makes for a perfect breakfast treat. Ready-made sandwiches and salads are a lunchtime feature at this Latin Quarter bakery.
Au 140
140 Rue de Belleville, Paris
Au 140 counts a list of awards to its name. The official supplier to the presidential palace in2001, its baguette was named the best in Paris that same year. Talented baker Pierre Demoney also earned the bakery second prize in Paris’ croissant competition. Au 140 features a large selection of organic breads to choose from, which are worth the detour (绕路).

Four astronauts headed to the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday where they will oversee the arrivals of two new rocketships during their half- year stay.
SpaceX’s Falcon rocket was launched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying NASA’s Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps and Russia’s Alexander Grebenkin. The astronauts should reach the orbiting lab on Tuesday. They will replace a crew from the US, Denmark, Japan and Russia, who have been there since August.
“When are you getting here already?” space station commander Andreas Mogensen asked via Twitter, after three days of delay due to high wind. SpaceX Launch Control termed it “fashionably late”. There was almost another postponement Sunday night. A small leak in the seal of the SpaceX capsule’s hatch caused a last- minute flurry (忙乱) of reviews, but it was thought safe for the whole mission.
The new crew’s six- month stay includes the arrival of two rocketships ordered by NASA.Boeing’s new Starliner capsule with test pilots is due in late April. A month or two later, Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser, a mini shuttle, should arrive. It is for delivering supplies to the station, but not passengers yet.
Epps, who is from New York, is the second Black woman assigned to a long station mission. She said before the flight that she was especially proud to be a role model for girls, especially for Black girls, demonstrating that spaceflight “is an option for them, and that this is not just for other people”.
Also new to space are Dominick, a Navy pilot, and Grebenkin, a former Russian military officer. Barratt, a doctor on his third mission, is the oldest full- time astronaut to fly in space. He turns 65 in April. As for his age, he said before the flight, “As long as we stay healthy and fit and engaged, we’re good to fly.”
4. Why were the four astronauts sent to the ISS?
A. To train test pilots for Starliner. B. To monitor the new rocketships.
C. To deliver supplies to the station. D. To replace the crew on the station.
5. What delayed the astronauts’ arrival?
A. The leak in the capsule. B. Bad weather conditions.
C. An interview with the media. D. Repair work on the rocket.
6. What do we know about Dominick?
A. He worked as an officer in the army. B. He was a full- time astronaut from Russia.
C. He performed the task for the first time. D. He was in charge of the space program.
7. What do Epps’ words suggest?
A. Females are capable of investigating space.
B. Age is a decisive factor in space tasks.
C. Her work makes her a role model for girls.
D. Space technology is a great challenge for girls.
C
If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently, you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos.
What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.
However, as silly as it seems, Reels — is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format was first pioneered by TikTok—the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it was launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month — including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.
The format is almost perfectly optimized to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want.
Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube (which it owns) a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them.
8. What does the author intend to express by referring to his own experience?
A. Short videos play a significant role in his life.
B. People often lose themselves in short videos unconsciously.
C. Short videos have multiple functions that attract potential users.
D. The author prefers short clips of people making dinner to others
9. Why are short videos on Tiktok gaining much popularity among users?
A. Because they present breathtaking visual effects.
B. Because they include high-quality content.
C. Because users can change from one video to the next effortlessly.
D. Because users can use an algorithm to choose videos they really want.
10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Tiktok is regarded as a competitive opponent to Facebook.
B. Tiktok has attracted 23 million UK users since it was launched in 2016.

Willful ignorance exists in large amount in daily life. People regularly look the other way rather than examining the consequences of their actions. Despite plenty of scientific evidence for climate change, for instance, many people still avoid engaging with facts about global warming.
We wanted to understand how common willful ignorance is and why people engage in it. After collecting data from multiple research projects that involved more than 6, 000 individuals, we discovered that willful ignorance is common and harmful, with 40 percent of people choosing “not to know” the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains. But we also found that about 40 percent of people are unselfish: rather than avoiding information about the consequences of their actions, they seek it out to increase the benefits to others.
In the experiments, the decisions were made in one of two settings. In the transparent (透明的) setting, decision-makers had information about how their choice would affect themselves and their partners. In an ambiguous setting, decision-makers knew how their choice would matter for themselves but not for their teammates — although they could request that insight.
The overall balance tipped toward selfishness when participants had the option to avoid information. Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partners — a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition.
If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions, it may make people feel less threatened and, as a result, be less willfully ignorant. Other research groups have found promising ways to do this. For instance, we could encourage people to think more positively about good deeds rather than guilt-trip them for what they have failed to do. Highlighting recent global achievements, such as healing the ozone (臭氧) layer, can inspire people to keep up the good work rather than feeling like the battle is lost and that the situation is hopeless.
In short, we can encourage one another and ourselves toward more selfless and generous actions.
12. What causes people to ignore the effect of their behaviors deliberately?
A. They want the biggest personal benefits without feeling ashamed.
B. They hold the belief that willful ignorance is socially acceptable.
C. They are unsure about the results of their actions.
D They always take others’ benefits into consideration.
13. What can be concluded from experiments mentioned in the passage?
A. People in the ambiguous setting were more aware of the impact of their decisions
B. More than half of the participants are selfish in the transparent condition.
C. All people in both settings chose to put their partners’ interests in the first place
D. Some people still increased the benefits of others although they could avoid information
14. Which of the following is the author likely to agree with?
A. Highlighting the difficulties of ozone layer healing inspires people to keep up the good work.
B. Paying less attention to the morality of decisions is helpful to decrease willful ignorance
C. Having a sense of guilt enables people to take global issues seriously
D. Stressing the threats of willful ignorance contributes to more selfless and generous actions
15 In which column of a newspaper can we read the passage?
A. Literature B. Technology C. Archaeology. D. Psychology.

Here’s How to Use Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a powerful design tool that can transform a room. Here are tips to see how it’s done.
Where should the wallpaper go?
The first step is figuring out where you’re going to hang the wallpaper. Keep in mind: ___16___. Smaller, darker spaces are the best places to hang wallpaper. Larger rooms with great light and beautiful views are often better left alone.
Once you’ve settled on a room, your decisions aren’t over. Where exactly in that room should you hang the paper? A typical installation involves covering all four walls. ___17___.
Measure and plan the installation
Measure the walls or ceiling you plan to cover and consider how the width of the roll you’ve chosen will work in the space.
___18___, but if you have a large-scale pattern, try to make sure the center of that pattern is right where you want it. Similarly, try to avoid placing the roll in such a way that you end up having to use thin scraps (小块) of wallpaper in the corners of the room.
Prepare the wall
___19___. If your wall has many minor imperfections, you may want to use blank wallpaper to help smooth things out. If your wall has lumps and bumps, holes or a thick texture, those problems will be visible on the surface of the paper if you don’t correct them before installation. Popped nail-heads should be hammered flat, and holes should be filled.
___20___
With all the decisions made, it’s time to stick the wallpaper up with glue. You may hire a professional installer, but you can hang the wallpaper yourself. Once the wallpaper is hung, don’t be afraid to hang decorative pictures.
A. Stick it up
B. It’s not worth fixing the wall
C. Decorate the room with pictures
D. Small-scale patterns provide flexibility
E. Wallpaper isn’t a fix for damaged or uneven walls

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。
Bonnie raised her granddaughter alone after the girl’s parents died. She hated her granddaughter’s art and wanted her to stop drawing. But everything changed when Mr. Henderson, a famous cartoonist, appeared at her doorstep.
One day, Bonnie called out to Amy as she took the chicken out. “Dinner is ready, honey! Come soon!” But Amy didn’t answer.
Bonnie finished setting the table and served them dinner, but she still didn’t hear a response from Amy. “Amy? Honey, your dinner is getting cold! Are you coming?” she asked her 10-year-old granddaughter again.
When Amy didn’t respond, Bonnie climbed the stairs to the girl’s room and pushed the door open. Amy sat at her desk, with her headphones on. At first, Bonnie thought Amy was studying, but then she noticed the drawing sheet on the table in front of Amy. Bonnie frowned (皱眉) in anger.
“Amy!” Bonnie screamed, and the girl turned around and removed her headphones.
“Granny? I… I was just…” Amy said.
Bonnie stormed up to Amy’s desk, and the little girl tried to cover the drawing, but it was too late.
“Did you finish your math homework, little girl? Mrs. Warren called me today. And she told me you’ve been ignoring her assignments!” Bonnie said angrily.
“I’ll finish the homework,” Amy said. “I was planning on doing it once I finished the sketch (素描) I was working on, Granny.”
“I’m tired of that hobby of yours, Amy! You’re no longer doing those drawings!” Bonnie went on. “Those things you draw are not going to help you in the future! You finish your dinner, and then you’ll be doing your homework. You’re not leaving the house to play with your friends until you finish your homework. Am I clear?” Bonnie said and stormed out of Amy’s room.
Minutes later, Amy walked into the kitchen and quietly sat at the table. They began eating dinner in silence. Bonnie was already in a terrible mood, so she didn’t ask about Amy’s day like she usually did. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
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。
Amy answered the door and was surprised to see Mr. Henderson.
