Sharks use it to find their way and it provides them with food and habitat. But as with on-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerous. Overfishing, commercial development and illegal practices are endangering the species. “We’re seeing a continued decline in shark populations. Our goal is to turn that round.” says Rachel Graham, founder of Mar Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on conserving sharks. By monitoring sharks, Mar Alliance can collect important knowledge on the species to help inform conservation and push for political action. But rather than acting in opposition to the local fishing community, MarAlliance enlists their help. “They are the ones who are on the sea every single day,” says Graham, “and they’re the ones who decide the species’ future.” MarAlliance employs up to 60 fishermen across its range, mostly on a project basis, training them to collect data, record and release fish. Not only does this provide an alternative income to fishing communities, making them less dependent on natural resources, but it also teaches them about the benefits of a healthy ocean ecosystem and how to fish sustainably. Among them, Ivan Torres, who used to catch sharks to sell locally as food, has learned how critical they’re to the whole ecosystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any more. If this attitude change continues to spread throughout fishing communities, Graham has hope for the shark populations. “The primary threat to sharks is unquestionably overfishing,” she says, “By reforming the industry, populations can bounce back.” In 2020, Belize outlawed the use of gillnets, large panels of netting of trapping large sealife. The ban’s impact is already noticeable with a recorded 10-fold increase in shark populations. But such regulations need to be copied along the whole superhighway for long-lasting impact, and countries need to find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need to find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihoods and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hope that through education and providing an economic alternative for fishing communities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage for sharks along the reef”. 24. Which of the following best describes the Mesoamerican Reef for sharks? A. Romantic but messy. B. Vital but insecure. C. Adventurous but beautiful. D. Unfamiliar but reliable. 25. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. MarAlliance. B. The fishers. C. Monitoring authorities. D. The sharks. 26. What contributed to Ivan’s attitude shift apart from education? A. A stricter fishing ban. B. The insurance payout he earned. C. An offer of extra work. D. The fishing communities’ intervention. 27. What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph? A. Solution to overfishing. B. Difficulties facing MarAlliance. C. Impact of existing regulations. D. Features of international cooperation. C On a soulless roundabout at a motorway crossroads, next door to a Burger King and opposite McDonald’s, stands a newcomer to the world of fast-food in France: a boulangerie, or French bakery. With sufficient parking, the Boulangerie offers its car-borne customers a variety of choices. The boulangerie is traditionally a feature of the village square or high street. Yet now, it is taking off as an out-of-town drive-in or drive-to experience. It is an unexpected time for the baguette (法式面包) to spread, let alone on the country’s city edges. Rising energy and flour prices have pushed the price of the humble stick over the symbolic one euro in some places. Older folks still recall the time in the 1970s when it went for one French franc. Yet in 2022 more new boulangeries opened their doors in France than closed, according to Altares, a research group. Across the country 2,538 new bakeries set up shop last year. In the Paris region, the fastest growth has taken place not in the capital’s built-up walkable centre, but its low-density (低密度) outer suburbs — meeting the need of the motorist. Marie Blachere, a chain of boulangeries which started their business on car-accessible edge-of-town sites, now has over 700 outlets across France; 70 opened last year alone. It provides industrial-scale kitchens for hand-made baguettes, made from dough prepared, kneaded and baked on the site, a condition in France for use of the label boulangerie. With turnover of over €550m, it ranks as one of the top ten fast-food chains in France. In the city of Chartres, Cyril Avert boulangerie serves baguettes to motorists at the wheel, as a pure drive-through service. So does Jules & John, in over 20 towns in France. The drive-in or drive-to fashion is not welcome news for the boulangeries on narrow town-centre streets, many of which are struggling with rising costs. But it does reflect a stubborn fact about France, which those who govern from its city centres ignore. In 2021, 82% of French households owned at least one vehicle, and many in outer suburbs and semi-rural parts depend on it for work. The French remain as attached to their daily, or even twice-daily, baguette as they do to their use of the car. 28. Who are the recently-opened baguette bakeries targeted for? A. New arrivals. B. Hurrying drivers. C. Leisurely tourists. D. Fashionable youths. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Brands of boulangeries. B. Profits from boulangeries. C Examples of boulangerie expansion. D. Conditions for opening a new boulangerie. 30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the drive-in or drive-to practice? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Baguette and vehicle: hand in hand B. Boulangeries: suffering rocketing price C. Boulangeries: springing up in unlikely places D. Baguettes: the symbol of traditional French cuisine D Imagine being an Olympic racer. Before stepping onto the track, you have to decide which pair of shoes to wear: One made from sustainable materials or a traditionally built model? If you’re like most people, you’d opt for the non-sustainable version. Consumer behavior research indicates sustainable products are often assumed to be weaker, less durable and perform worse than non-sustainable ones. But are there instances in which sustainability is not a liability? To investigate this, researchers conducted a series of studies. They theorized that under some circumstances, sustainability may provide a halo effect, meaning that being perceived as sustainable also leads consumers to assume other positive characteristics about them as well. In the first study, 595 participants were asked to make judgments about several household products like washing powder. The results suggest one’s values do play a role: People with higher environmental values viewed sustainable products as also being higher-performing, thus lending support for the halo effect theory. The second experiment looked specifically at the effect of messaging, testing to see whether focusing the sustainability claims on the company, as opposed to the product, would be more effective in driving participants’ belief in product performance. 270 participants were asked. The results suggest that associating sustainability with the company has a much larger impact than messaging about product sustainability. Study 3 sought to further expand these mechanisms by examining the influence of societal impact. 148 participants who saw various advertisements for products either described as having a “sustainable benefit” or “societal benefit” were more likely to see the products as being of higher performance if they were presented as positively impacting society, above and beyond merely being sustainable, supporting the idea that the halo effect is driven by the belief of the company as a moral agent engaged in socially beneficial behavior. Contrary to previous thinking, this research illustrates that sustainability claims can produce positive belief about product performance in the above conditions. Like the track star, consumers often feel sustainability and performance exclude each other. When the brand (品牌) presents it just the right way, there doesn’t need to be a trade-off. These can be one and the same. 32. What does the underlined word “liability” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Priority. B. Secret. C. Drag. D. Target. 33. Product sustainability produces a positive halo effect when sustainability claims_________. A. highlight the product B. are aimed to generate profits C. contrast with consumers’ values D. are made about the company itself 34. On what basis did the researchers reach the study outcome? A. Previous experience. B. Sales statistics. C. Respondents’ opinions. D. Social phenomenon. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. How Green Products Benefit Consumers B. How Consumers View Company Culture C. How Sustainability Claims Impact Product Quality D. How Psychology Helps the Belief in Green Products 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation. ____36____ It gives you an assurance that you have people close by looking out for you.

Since then, he had diligently walked a neighbor’s dog and weeded his neighbors’ gardens to earn money for one figurine. Finally he had enough money for one and raced towards the comer shop. Lost in excitement, he accidentally tripped over a homeless old man seated against a wall in the cold, quickly murmuring an apology before continuing on his way. Inside the shop, Jack glanced at the shelves displaying Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and other beloved heroes. His heart raced as he reached for the Spider man. “You’re a fan, right?” a friendly voice appeared behind him. Jack turned to see the shopkeeper, an elderly man with a warm smile. “Yes, they’re amazing!” Jack said. “They’re strong, and they help so many people. They have super power. I wish I could be a superhero too.” “You can be,” the shopkeeper encouraged. Surprised, Jack asked, “But how? I don’t have any super power.” Smiling softly, the shopkeeper bent down, placing his hands on Jack’s arms. “Why would you need them?” he replied kindly. “See that woman over there? She needs to take care of three children. However, she still actively helps the elderly in the community. And do you know Jimmy? He is a firefighter who has saved countless lives. Being a hero isn’t about super power; it’s about what’s in your heart.” Locking eyes with Jack, the shopkeeper smiled. “You don’t need super power to be a hero. It starts with your heart.” Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jack was lost in thought._________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 答案解析 A篇 【答案】1.

B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了致力于保护鲨鱼的非营利组织“海洋联盟”对保护鲨鱼的保护措施。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Sharks use it to find their way and it provides them with food and habitat. (鲨鱼用它来找路，它为它们提供食物和栖息地)”和第二段的“But as with on-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerous. Overfishing, commercial development and illegal practices are endangering the species. (但与陆地高速公路一样，这条超级高速公路也可能很危险。过度捕捞、商业开发和非法行为正在危及该物种)”可知，中美洲珊瑚礁对鲨鱼来说很重要但又充满危险。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“But rather than acting in opposition to the local fishing community, MarAlliance enlists their help. (但是，“海洋联盟”并没有采取反对当地渔业社区的行动，而是寻求他们的帮助)”以及第四段中“the ones who are on the sea every single day (他们每天都在海上)”可知，每天都在海上的人是渔夫们。由此可知，划线词They指的是渔夫们。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Not only does this provide an alternative income to fishing communities, making them less dependent on natural resources, but it also teaches them about the benefits of a healthy ocean ecosystem and how to fish sustainably. (这不仅为渔业社区提供了另一种收入来源，使他们减少对自然资源的依赖，而且还教会他们了解健康的海洋生态系统的好处以及如何可持续地捕鱼)”以及第六段中“Among them, Ivan Torres, who used to catch sharks to sell locally as food, has learned how critical they’re to the whole ecosystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any more. (其中，伊万·托雷斯曾经捕捞鲨鱼作为食物在当地出售，他已经了解到鲨鱼对整个生态系统的重要性，他说他再也不会捕捞鲨鱼了)”以及最后一段的“I hope that through education and providing an economic alternative for fishing communities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage for sharks along the reef(我希望通过教育和为渔业社区提供经济替代方案，海洋联盟将帮助确保对于鲨鱼沿着珊瑚礁的通道安全)”可推知，除了教育促成了伊万态度的转变的因素还有提供了可替代收入来源，也就是额外的工作。故选C。 7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“But such regulations need to be copied along the whole superhighway for long-lasting impact, and countries need to find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need to find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihoods and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hope that through education and providing an economic alternative for fishing communities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage for sharks along the reef”. (但是，为了产生持久的影响，这些规定需要在整个高速公路上复制，各国需要在渔民和被捕捞者之间找到可持续的平衡。“我们需要在渔民生计和鲨鱼生存之间找到一个双赢的策略，”格雷厄姆强调说。“我希望通过教育和为渔业社区提供经济选择，海洋联盟将帮助确保鲨鱼沿着珊瑚礁的安全通道。”)”可推知，这些话强调了过度捕捞的解决方案，即需要在渔民生计和鲨鱼生存之间找到一个双赢的策略。故选A。 C篇 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是正在日益发展的一种城外的免下车体验的法式面包房。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“With sufficient parking, the Boulangerie offers its car-borne customers a variety of choices. The boulangerie is traditionally a feature of the village square or high street. Yet now, it is taking off as an out-of-town drive-in or drive-to experience.(有足够的停车位，面包房为其汽车客户提供多种选择。面包房传统上是乡村广场或商业街的特色。然而现在，它正在发展成为一种城外的免下车体验)”可知，这家新开的法式面包房给汽车客户提供各种选择，而且他现在正在发展成为一种城外免下车体验，由此可知，新开业的法式面包房的目标客户是那些匆忙的司机。故选B项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Marie Blachere, a chain of boulangeries which started their business on car-accessible edge-of-town sites, now has over 700 outlets across France; 70 opened last year alone.(Marie Blachere是一家面包房连锁店，最初在城市边缘的汽车可达的地方开展业务，现在在法国有700多家分店；仅去年一年就新开了70家)”可知，Marie Marie Blachere是一家面包房的连锁店，现在在法国有700多家分店，仅去年一年新开了70家，结合尾句“In the city of Chartres, Cyril Avert boulangerie serves baguettes to motorists at the wheel, as a pure drive-through service. So does Jules & John, in over 20 towns in France.(在沙特尔市，Cyril Avert面包房为开车的司机提供法式长棍面包，作为一种纯粹的免下车服务。Jules & John也一样，在法国的20多个城镇都有)”可知，Cyril Avert面包房为司机提供免下车服务，而且Jules & John在法国的20多个城镇都有，也为司机提供免下车服务，综合以上信息可知，本段主要讲述的是面包房扩张的例子。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The drive-in or drive-to fashion is not welcome news for the boulangeries on narrow town-centre streets, many of which are struggling with rising costs. But it does reflect a stubborn fact about France, which those who govern from its city centres ignore.(对于市中心狭窄街道上的面包房来说，“免下车”服务的时尚可不是什么好消息，它们中的许多都在与不断上涨的成本作斗争。但它确实反映了法国一个顽固的事实，那些在城市中心执政的人忽视了这一点)”可知，作者认为，给司机提供免下车服务对于市中心狭窄街道上的面包房来说可不是好消息，但是这反映了法国一个城市中心执政的人忽略的顽固的事实，结合下文中的“In 2021, 82% of French households owned at least one vehicle, and many in outer suburbs and semi-rural parts depend on it for work.(到2021年，82%的法国家庭至少拥有一辆汽车，许多远郊和半农村地区的人依靠它来工作)”可知，法国家庭中至少拥有一辆汽车，许多远郊和半农村地区靠它来工作，给这些司机提供免下车服务是必要的，综合以上信息可知，作者客观分析了提供“免下车”服务。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“On a soulless roundabout at a motorway crossroads, next door to a Burger King and opposite McDonald’s, stands a newcomer to the world of fast-food in France: a boulangerie, or French bakery.(在高速公路十字路口，汉堡王(Burger King)隔壁、麦当劳(McDonald’s)对面的一个没有灵魂的环形交叉路口，矗立着一家法国快餐业的新来者:一家法式面包房(boulangerie))”可知，一家新的法式面包房在一个充满竞争的地方出现，结合下文中对新开业的面包房提供“免下车”服务以及类似于提供这种服务的面包房的不断扩张的介绍可知，本文主要介绍的是正在发展成为一种城外的免下车体验的法式面包房，所以题目“面包店：在不太可能的地方涌现”与本文讲述的内容一致，且概括了本文的主题，适合作为本文的题目。故选C项。 D篇 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可持续发展可能会产生光环效应，可持续发展也会导致消费者对他们产生其他积极看法。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Consumer behavior research indicates sustainable products are often assumed to be weaker, less durable and perform worse than non-sustainable ones. (消费者行为研究表明，可持续产品通常被认为比不可持续产品更弱、更不耐用、性能更差)”和第二段中“ To investigate this, researchers conducted a series of studies. They theorized that under some circumstances, sustainability may provide a halo effect, meaning that being perceived as sustainable also leads consumers to assume other positive characteristics about them as well. (为了对此进行调查，研究人员进行了一系列研究。他们认为，在某些情况下，可持续性可能会产生光环效应，这意味着被视为可持续性也会导致消费者对其产生其他积极特征)”可知，通常人们认为可持续产品比不可持续产品更弱、更不耐用、性能更差，因此消费者不喜欢购买，但是研究表明可持续性可能会产生光环效应，不会是构成消费者不买的阻力。由此可知，划线词liability与Drag(阻力)意思接近。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the first study, 595 participants were asked to make judgments about several household products like washing powder. The results suggest one’s values do play a role: People with higher environmental values viewed sustainable products as also being higher-performing, thus lending support for the halo effect theory. (第二个实验专门研究了信息传递的效果，测试了将可持续性声明的重点放在公司而不是产品上，是否能更有效地推动参与者对产品性能的信心。270名参与者接受了调查。结果表明，将可持续性与公司联系起来比传递产品可持续性的信息有更大的影响)”可知，当对公司本身提出可持续性声明时，产品可持续性会产生积极的光环效应。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the first study, 595 participants were asked to make judgments about several household products like washing powder. (在第一项研究中，595名参与者被要求对洗衣粉等几种家用产品做出判断)”和第四段中“270 participants were asked. (270名参与者接受了调查)”可推知，研究人员是根据受访者的意见得出研究结果的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Consumer behavior research indicates sustainable products are often assumed to be weaker, less durable and perform worse than non-sustainable ones. (消费者行为研究表明，可持续产品通常被认为比非可持续产品更弱、更耐用、性能更差)”和最后一段中“Contrary to previous thinking, this research illustrates that sustainability claims can produce positive belief about product performance in the above conditions. (与之前的想法相反，本研究表明，在上述条件下，可持续发展主张可以产生对产品性能的积极信念)”可知，文章主要介绍了可持续发展主张可以产生对产品性能的积极信念。由此可知，D. How Psychology Helps the Belief in Green Products(心理学如何帮助相信绿色产品)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 七选五 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何与邻居搞好关系。 【16题详解】 由上文“Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation. (万一出现问题，你的邻居可能是第一道防线。)”可知，下面要说跟“邻里关系很重要”有关的话题。故E选项“It’s essential to ensure you maintain decent relationships with them. (确保你与他们保持良好的关系是至关重要的。)”能承接上文。E项中的“them”与空前的“Your neighbors”相对应。故选E。 【17题详解】 由下文“It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune and opting for a potted plant or baked biscuits will do. (不用花很多钱，选择盆栽或烤饼干就可以了。)”可知，上面要说“给人的礼物”有关的话题。故F选项“Alternatively, you can give them a gift while making yourself known to them. (或者，你可以给他们一份礼物，同时让他们知道你自己。)”能引起下文，符合题意。F项中的“a gift”与空后的“It ”相对应。故选F。 【18题详解】 由上文“Be respectful of your neighbors. It’s in poor taste to have regular insensitive parties at your place causing disturbances. Before your party, it’s good practice to notify your neighbors. Besides, avoid chatting them up for hours on end, which may be inconvenient, especially if you don’t know their schedules. (尊重你的邻居。经常在你的住处举行麻木不化的聚会，引起骚乱，是很没品味的。在你的聚会之前，通知你的邻居是一个好习惯。此外，避免连续几个小时和他们聊天，这可能会很不方便，尤其是如果你不知道他们的日程安排。)”和后文“When you borrow anything, return it in due time. If you accidentally break their things, replace them without being asked to.(当你借任何东西时，要及时归还。如果你不小心弄坏了他们的东西，不要被要求更换。)”可知，这些都是和邻居建立健康的边界的好处。故G选项“Only by establishing healthy boundaries will you achieve peaceful coexistence. (只有建立健康的边界，你才能实现和平共处。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 由后文“You could offer to babysit your neighbors’ kids, help with snow removals or even keep an eye on their home when they’re away. Such acts of reaching out to your neighbors make for stronger relationships.(你可以帮忙照看邻居的孩子，帮他们扫雪，甚至在他们不在的时候帮他们照看一下房子。这种向邻居伸出援手的行为可以建立更牢固的关系。)”可知，这些善意的举动有助于搞好邻里关系。故A选项“Remember every small gesture counts. (记住，每一个小举动都很重要。)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 由上文“As Emma Seppälä put it, “social connectedness generates a positive feedback loop (圈) of social, emotional and physical well-being.” It feels so easy to just stay home without having to engage with your neighbors but connecting with them is worth the effort. (正如艾玛Seppälä所说，“社会联系产生了社会、情感和身体健康的积极反馈循环。”呆在家里感觉很容易，不需要和邻居联系，但和他们联系是值得的。)”可知，和邻居相处的好，会产生社会、情感和身体健康的积极反馈循环。故C选项“It can actually boost your mood in the long run. (从长远来看，它实际上可以提升你的情绪。)”能承承接上文，符合题意。C项中的“boost your mood”与空前的“a positive feedback”相对应。故选C。 完型 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D 24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C 32. D 33. A 34. C 35.

The shopkeeper's words echoed over and over again in his mind. “How can I be a superhero without super power?” he thought to himself, Suddenly, the scene of the homeless old man trembling in the cold flashed across his mind. Jack made a crucial decision that instead of buying a superhero figurine, he walked out of the shop with a large shopping bag full of stuff. Hurriedly, Jack ran back to look for the homeless old man. With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall. He knelt down beside the old man, offering him a warm smile. “I'm sorry for bumping into you earlier,” Jack said sincerely. “Can I get you something to eat or drink?” The old man looked up, surprised by Jack's kindness. With a grateful nod, he accepted Jack's offer. Just then, Jack realized that being a hero wasn't just about saving the world it was about making someone's world a little brighter. 范文二 After what seemed for ages, initial confusion on his face was replaced with determination and excitement. Sparkles in his eyes, Jack decided to learn from the caring lady as well as the fearless firefighter. Looking at the superhero figurines he had longed for again, Jack sighed heavily and turned around. With a determined look on his face, he bought a bag of food. With the bag in hand, Jack raced back as fast as he could, focused on nothing but the homeless man on the sidewalk. As it was snowing harder and harder, people were going down street hurriedly, ignoring the old man as he did before.No sooner had Jack approached him than he stuffed the shopping bag into his hands.Looking at the food in the bag, the old man murmured "thanks" again and again, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes.It was on the cold and snowy night that little Tommy became a hero for the homeless man.It also dawned on him that to be a superhero only needs a willing heart rather than a superpower. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$1 淄博五中 2024—2025 学年度第二次周测考试 （英语试题） 第一部分 阅读 第一节(共 15小题;每小题 2. 5分) A Want a part-time job?

Sharks use it to find their way and it provides them with food and habitat. But as with on-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerous. Overfishing, commercial development and illegal practices are endangering the species. “We’re seeing a continued decline in shark populations. Our goal is to turn that round.” says Rachel Graham, founder of Mar Alliance, a non-profit organization focused on conserving sharks. By monitoring sharks, Mar Alliance can collect important knowledge on the species to help inform conservation and push for political action. But rather than acting in opposition to the local fishing community, MarAlliance enlists their help. “They are the ones who are on the sea every single day,” says Graham, “and they’re the ones who decide the species’ future.” MarAlliance employs up to 60 fishermen across its range, mostly on a project basis, training them to collect data, record and release fish. Not only does this provide an alternative income to fishing communities, making them less dependent on natural resources, but it also teaches them about the benefits of a healthy ocean ecosystem and how to fish sustainably. Among them, Ivan Torres, who used to catch sharks to sell locally as food, has learned how critical they’re to the whole ecosystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any more. If this attitude change continues to spread throughout fishing communities, Graham has hope for the shark populations. “The primary threat to sharks is unquestionably overfishing,” she says, “By reforming the industry, populations can bounce back.” In 2020, Belize outlawed the use of gillnets, large panels of netting of trapping large sealife. The ban’s impact is already noticeable with a recorded 10-fold increase in shark populations. But such regulations need to be copied along the whole superhighway for long-lasting impact, and countries need to find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need to find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihoods and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hope that through education and providing an economic alternative for fishing communities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage for sharks along the reef”. 24. Which of the following best describes the Mesoamerican Reef for sharks? A. Romantic but messy. B. Vital but insecure. C. Adventurous but beautiful. D. Unfamiliar but reliable. 25. What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. MarAlliance. B. The fishers. C. Monitoring authorities. D. The sharks. 26. What contributed to Ivan’s attitude shift apart from education? A. A stricter fishing ban. B. The insurance payout he earned. C. An offer of extra work. D. The fishing communities’ intervention. 27. What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph? A. Solution to overfishing. B. Difficulties facing MarAlliance. C. Impact of existing regulations. D. Features of international cooperation. 3 C On a soulless roundabout at a motorway crossroads, next door to a Burger King and opposite McDonald’s, stands a newcomer to the world of fast-food in France: a boulangerie, or French bakery. With sufficient parking, the Boulangerie offers its car-borne customers a variety of choices. The boulangerie is traditionally a feature of the village square or high street. Yet now, it is taking off as an out-of-town drive-in or drive-to experience. It is an unexpected time for the baguette (法式面包) to spread, let alone on the country’s city edges. Rising energy and flour prices have pushed the price of the humble stick over the symbolic one euro in some places. Older folks still recall the time in the 1970s when it went for one French franc. Yet in 2022 more new boulangeries opened their doors in France than closed, according to Altares, a research group. Across the country 2,538 new bakeries set up shop last year. In the Paris region, the fastest growth has taken place not in the capital’s built-up walkable centre, but its low-density (低密度) outer suburbs — meeting the need of the motorist. Marie Blachere, a chain of boulangeries which started their business on car-accessible edge-of-town sites, now has over 700 outlets across France; 70 opened last year alone. It provides industrial-scale kitchens for hand-made baguettes, made from dough prepared, kneaded and baked on the site, a condition in France for use of the label boulangerie. With turnover of over €550m, it ranks as one of the top ten fast-food chains in France. In the city of Chartres, Cyril Avert boulangerie serves baguettes to motorists at the wheel, as a pure drive-through service. So does Jules & John, in over 20 towns in France. The drive-in or drive-to fashion is not welcome news for the boulangeries on narrow town-centre streets, many of which are struggling with rising costs. But it does reflect a stubborn fact about France, which those who govern from its city centres ignore. In 2021, 82% of French households owned at least one vehicle, and many in outer suburbs and semi-rural parts depend on it for work. The French remain as attached to their daily, or even twice-daily, baguette as they do to their use of the car. 28. Who are the recently-opened baguette bakeries targeted for? A. New arrivals. B. Hurrying drivers. C. Leisurely tourists. D. Fashionable youths. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Brands of boulangeries. B. Profits from boulangeries. C Examples of boulangerie expansion. D. Conditions for opening a new boulangerie. 30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the drive-in or drive-to practice? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Baguette and vehicle: hand in hand B. Boulangeries: suffering rocketing price C. Boulangeries: springing up in unlikely places D. Baguettes: the symbol of traditional French cuisine 4 D Imagine being an Olympic racer. Before stepping onto the track, you have to decide which pair of shoes to wear: One made from sustainable materials or a traditionally built model? If you’re like most people, you’d opt for the non-sustainable version. Consumer behavior research indicates sustainable products are often assumed to be weaker, less durable and perform worse than non-sustainable ones. But are there instances in which sustainability is not a liability? To investigate this, researchers conducted a series of studies. They theorized that under some circumstances, sustainability may provide a halo effect, meaning that being perceived as sustainable also leads consumers to assume other positive characteristics about them as well. In the first study, 595 participants were asked to make judgments about several household products like washing powder. The results suggest one’s values do play a role: People with higher environmental values viewed sustainable products as also being higher-performing, thus lending support for the halo effect theory. The second experiment looked specifically at the effect of messaging, testing to see whether focusing the sustainability claims on the company, as opposed to the product, would be more effective in driving participants’ belief in product performance. 270 participants were asked. The results suggest that associating sustainability with the company has a much larger impact than messaging about product sustainability. Study 3 sought to further expand these mechanisms by examining the influence of societal impact. 148 participants who saw various advertisements for products either described as having a “sustainable benefit” or “societal benefit” were more likely to see the products as being of higher performance if they were presented as positively impacting society, above and beyond merely being sustainable, supporting the idea that the halo effect is driven by the belief of the company as a moral agent engaged in socially beneficial behavior. Contrary to previous thinking, this research illustrates that sustainability claims can produce positive belief about product performance in the above conditions. Like the track star, consumers often feel sustainability and performance exclude each other. When the brand (品牌) presents it just the right way, there doesn’t need to be a trade-off. These can be one and the same. 32. What does the underlined word “liability” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Priority. B. Secret. C. Drag. D. Target. 33. Product sustainability produces a positive halo effect when sustainability claims_________. A. highlight the product B. are aimed to generate profits C. contrast with consumers’ values D. are made about the company itself 34. On what basis did the researchers reach the study outcome? A. Previous experience. B. Sales statistics. C. Respondents’ opinions. D. Social phenomenon. 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. How Green Products Benefit Consumers B. How Consumers View Company Culture C. How Sustainability Claims Impact Product Quality D. How Psychology Helps the Belief in Green Products 5 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Your neighbors are probably the first line of defense in case of any problematic situation. ____36____ It gives you an assurance that you have people close by looking out for you.

Since then, he had diligently walked a neighbor’s dog and weeded his neighbors’ gardens to earn money for one figurine. Finally he had enough money for one and raced towards the comer shop. Lost in excitement, he accidentally tripped over a homeless old man seated against a wall in the cold, quickly murmuring an apology before continuing on his way. Inside the shop, Jack glanced at the shelves displaying Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and other beloved heroes. His heart raced as he reached for the Spider man. 8 “You’re a fan, right?” a friendly voice appeared behind him. Jack turned to see the shopkeeper, an elderly man with a warm smile. “Yes, they’re amazing!” Jack said. “They’re strong, and they help so many people. They have super power. I wish I could be a superhero too.” “You can be,” the shopkeeper encouraged. Surprised, Jack asked, “But how? I don’t have any super power.” Smiling softly, the shopkeeper bent down, placing his hands on Jack’s arms. “Why would you need them?” he replied kindly. “See that woman over there? She needs to take care of three children. However, she still actively helps the elderly in the community. And do you know Jimmy? He is a firefighter who has saved countless lives. Being a hero isn’t about super power; it’s about what’s in your heart.” Locking eyes with Jack, the shopkeeper smiled. “You don’t need super power to be a hero. It starts with your heart.” Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jack was lost in thought._________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall.______________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 第二周周测讲解 A篇 ABB be capable of object n. paid time off disquaification n. a green hand stress-resistant adj. stylish adj. personalized adj. prior adj. 能够做... 物体 带薪休假 取消资格 新手，生手 抗压的 新潮的 个性化的 之前的 B篇 BBCA in opposition to alternative adj. dependent adj. regulation n. passage n. vital adj. insecure adj. 反对... 可供选择的 依赖的 规章 通道 重要的 不安全的 B篇 BBCA authority n. shift v. intervention n. 权威人士 改变 干涉，介入 B篇 句子翻译 Para.5 Not only does this provide an alternative income to fishing communities, making them less dependent on natural resources, but it also teaches them about the benefits of a healthy ocean ecosystem and how to fish sustainably. 这不仅为渔业社区提供了一种替代收入，使他们减少了对自然资源的依赖，而且还教会了他们健康海洋生态系统的好处以及如何可持续地捕鱼。 C篇 BCAC sufficient adj. chain n. outlet n. vehicle n. attached adj. leisurely adj. profit n. expansion n. dismissive adj. 充足的 连锁店 经销店 车辆 喜欢的 悠闲的 利润 扩张 轻蔑的，鄙视的 C篇 BCAC rocketing adj. spring up 猛增的 突然兴起，迅速出现 C篇 句子翻译 Para.1 On a soulless roundabout at a motorway crossroads, next door to a Burger King and opposite McDonald’s, stands a newcomer to the world of fast-food in France: a boulangerie, or French bakery. 在高速公路十字路口的一个毫无生气的环岛处，汉堡王的隔壁，麦当劳对面，矗立着一家法国快餐界的新来者：一家法式面包店。 C篇 句子翻译 Para.4 The drive-in or drive-to fashion is not welcome news for the boulangeries on narrow town-centre streets, many of which are struggling with rising costs.

The shopkeeper's words echoed over and over again in his mind. “How can I be a superhero without super power?” he thought to himself, Suddenly, the scene of the homeless old man trembling in the cold flashed across his mind. Jack made a crucial decision that instead of buying a superhero figurine, he walked out of the shop with a large shopping bag full of food. Hurriedly, Jack ran back to look for the homeless old man. With relief, Jack found the homeless old man still sitting against the wall. He knelt down beside the old man, offering him a warm smile. “I'm sorry for bumping into you earlier,” Jack said sincerely. “Can I get you something to eat or drink?” The old man looked up, surprised by Jack's kindness. With a grateful nod, he accepted Jack's offer. Just then, Jack realized that being a hero wasn't just about saving the world. It was about making someone's world a little brighter. $$第二次周测词汇 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 单词 1. n. 物体 2. adj. 可供选择的 3. adj. 依赖的 4. n.规章 5. adj.重要的 6. adj.充足的 7. n.扩张 8. n.例子 9. n.声明 10. v.重要 11. n.共存 12. v.吞下，抑制 13. v.决定 14. n.目的地 15. v. 为...提供住所 16. v.离开，启程 17. n.伙伴 18. disquaification n. 19. a green hand 20. stress-resistant adj. 21. stylish adj. 22. personalized adj. 23. passage n. 24. insecure adj. 25. authority n. 26. shift v. 27. intervention n. 28. chain n. 29. outlet n. 30. vehicle n. 31. attached adj. 32. leisurely adj. 33. profit n. 34. dismissive adj. 35. rocketing adj. 36. sustainable adj. 37. opt v. 38. version n. 39. durable adj. 40. illustrate v. 41. drag n. 42. generate v. 43. contrast v. 44. statistics n. 45. respondent n. 46. gesture n. 47. crisis n. 48. slip v. 49. solidify v. 50. decent adj. 51. alternatively adv. 52. boundary n. 53. turn to 54. travel-worn/travel-weary 55. emerge v. 56. integrate v. 短语 57. 能够做... 58. paid time off 59. in opposition to 60. spring up $$第二次周测词汇 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. be capable of 能够做... 2. object n. 物体 3. paid time off 带薪休假 4. disquaification n. 取消资格 5. a green hand 新手 6. stress-resistant adj.抗压的 7. stylish adj.新潮的 8. personalized adj.个性化的 9. prior adj.之前的 10. in opposition to反对 11. alternative adj. 可供选择的 12. dependent adj. 依赖的 13. regulation n.规章 14. passage n.通道 15. vital adj.重要的 16. insecure adj.不安全的 17. authority n.权威人士 18. shift v.改变 19. intervention n.干涉，介入 20. sufficient adj.充足的 21. chain n.连锁店 22. outlet n.经销店 23. vehicle n.车辆 24. attached adj.喜欢的 25. leisurely adj.悠闲的 26. profit n.利润 27. expansion n.扩张 28. dismissive adj.轻蔑的，鄙视的 29. rocketing adj.猛增的 30. spring up突然兴起，迅速出现 31. sustainable adj.可持续的 32. opt v.选择 33. version n.版本 34. durable adj.持久的 35. instance n.例子 36. claim n.声明 37. illustrate v.说明 38. drag n.阻力 39. generate v.产生 40. contrast v.对比 41. statistics n.统计数据 42. respondent n.调查对象，回答问题的人 43. gesture n.姿势，表示 44. count v.重要 45. crisis n.危机 46. slip v.将...悄悄放在 47. solidify v.巩固，固话 48. decent adj.得体的 49. alternatively adv.或者 50. boundary n.界限，边界 51. coexistence n.共存 52. swallow v.吞下，抑制 53. resolve v.决定 54. turn to 变成 55. travel-worn/travel-weary舟车劳顿的 56. destination n.目的地 57. accommodate v为...提供住所 58. depart v.离开，启程 59. companion n.伙伴 60. emerge v.从困境中摆脱 61. blessing n.祝福，保佑 62. craft n.手艺 63. entirely adv.完全地 64. integrate v.合并，整合 $$
