From a fish and chip stall, Jenny has come to be the toast of London’s foodie scene. She has achieved a remarkable feat by becoming a famous chef, a distinction that has been a dream coming true for her. “It’s still sinking in,” she said, expressing her surprise at the overwhelming social media response to her accomplishment.
Her restaurant is a unique space where modern West African cuisine takes center stage, highlighting the rich culinary (烹饪的) traditions of Nigeria’s Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo ethnic groups. “In my restaurant, I bring together these three culinary traditions, providing an exciting journey for diners,” Jenny described. Each dish tells a story, from a black sauce for fish, a postpartum (产后的) meal for new mothers, to a fermented tomato sauce.
Jenny’s love for food began at a young age, but she was initially guided towards a more traditional career path. She studied biological sciences in university, where she also ran a fish and chip cart. Her move to the UK in 1999 marked the beginning of her journey towards culinary success.
As for her, her restaurant is not only a restaurant but also Jenny’s way of honoring her heritage and the food her grandmother used to prepare. “The memory of my grandmother’s cooking inspires me every day,” she shared. Jenny’s cooking shows heartfelt respect for her roots, and her mission is to showcase the flavors of her culture.
Jenny longs to be a role model for chefs from diverse backgrounds. She recognizes the value of representation and hopes her success can inspire other chefs in the UK. She notes that while the industry is slowly becoming more inclusive, it’s crucial for employers, landlords, critics, and investors to expand their perspectives to support a variety of cuisines.
Her fame is a testament (证明) to her talent and dedication, but it’s the personal connection to her dishes and the memories of home-cooked meals that truly fuel her passion. Jenny’s story is a shining example of how one can achieve their dreams while staying true to their cultural identity.
4. What is the character of Jenny’s restaurant?
A. It serves traditional British cuisine.
B. It is famous for postpartum meals only.
C. It is managed by a social media influencer.
D. It features West African culinary traditions.
5. What was Jenny’s initial step to her career path?
A. Being a biological sciences student.
B. Being a social media influencer.
C Being a corporate executive.
D. Being a professional chef.
6. What can we infer about Jenny?
A. She prioritizes commercial success over culture.
B. She aims to westernize traditional Nigerian cuisine.
C. She uses her restaurant as a medium for scientific research.
D. She integrates her personal history with her professional knowledge.
7. What does Jenny desire to contribute to the culinary world?
A. Celebrity status. B. Culinary revolution.
C. Diversity in cooking. D. Profits of her restaurant.

With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect’s brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect.
It’s not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. “Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. “The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away.” Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line.
In search of the neural mechanism (神经机制) that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.
The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.
In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments.
8. Why is “a train” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the principle of train motion. B. To highlight why human vision is limited.
C. To explain how insects perceive distances. D. To compare the movement of trees and houses.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe’s model?
A. Its novel design. B. Its theoretical basis.
C. Its possible application. D. Its working mechanism.
10. What do the researchers think of the finding?
A. Amusing. B. Discouraging. C. Promising. D. Contradictory.
11. What will Chicca’s follow-up study focus on?
A. Inventing insect-like chips. B. Studying general-purpose robots.
C. Creating insect-inspired computers. D. Developing energy-efficient hardware.
D
Altitudes, landscapes and climates change dramatically as you move across the globe, but one factor remains nearly universal. All of Earth’s diversity is blanketed under a blue sky. But why is the sky blue? The explanation requires a bit of particle physics (粒子物理).
We see blue above us because of how light from the sun interacts with Earth’s atmosphere. The visible light contains a variety of colors, ranging from red light to violet. When all of the colors are mixed, the light appears white, Marc Chenard, a scientist at the National Weather Service, told Live Science. But once the white light traveling from the sun reaches Earth, some of the colors begin to interact with small particles in the atmosphere, he said.
Each color in the visible light has a different wavelength. Red and orange light waves, for instance, have longer wavelengths, while blue and violet light have much shorter wavelengths. It’s the shorter wavelengths of light that are more likely to be scattered (散射) or absorbed and reflected in a different direction by the air particles in Earth’s atmosphere, Chenard said. That’s what makes the sky blue.
Even though violet light is scattered too, there are a couple of reasons why we see the sky as more blue than purple, according to Ed Bloomer, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in the U. K. First, the sun doesn’t produce equal illumination (亮度) in all colors; it contains more blue light than violet light, so more blue light is scattered. Additionally, our eyes are not equally responsive to all colors, Bloomer told Live Science; they are less sensitive to violet light.
This preferential scattering of blue light also plays into the colors of sun rise and sunset. At sunset, as a particular point is turning farther and farther from the sun, sunlight must travel farther through the atmosphere to reach your eyes. By the time the sunlight reaches you, all of the blue light has been scattered away. As a result, the orange, red and yellow wavelengths are all that’s left to color the sunset.
12. The sky is blue because visible lights .
A. interact with air particles B. travel at different speeds
C. are too colorful to illuminate D. are reflected by blue oceans
13. How does the author make the explanation more accessible?
A By following order of space. B. By picturing different scenes.
C. By giving personal experience. D. By quoting scientists’ opinions.
14. What mainly affects the colors of sunrise and sunset?
A. The quality of the atmosphere. B. The easier scattering of blue light.
C. The reflecting direction of the sunlight. D. The distance between the observer and the sun.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Earth’s Diversity: A Changeable Factor B. Atmospheric Circle: A Colorful Blanket
C. The Color of Sky:A Particle Physics View D. The Light Scattering:A Colorful Movement

Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life.
____16____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse.
People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. ____17____ Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well.
____18____ Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. ____19____
The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media look through your list of contacts instead. ____20____ The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media.
A. Anticipation itself is pleasurable.
B. Decrease unnecessary socializing.
C. Find someone to call or FaceTime.

On warm September night, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, soft sea winds filled the air. The moon was full. Mira could feel the energy in the air. She loved everything about the ocean, and this evening she had come down to the beach to enjoy the salty night air and hear the waves washing over the sand gently.
Mira closed her eyes and listened to the waves. The gentle rolling sound was calming. Suddenly, Mira could hear another sound, too. She listened carefully. The sound was so soft that she could barely hear it. She opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a sudden, she could see a tiny head coming out. Then, she saw four tiny feet and a shell. A turtle had emerged!
Mira looked in amazement at the baby turtle. In the moonlight she could just make out the green and brown pattern on its shell. It was so small! She watched with wonder as other baby turtles began to emerge. One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Soon the beach was like a moving carpet of tiny turtles.
Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves in the opposite direction. Why would the turtles be going away from the ocean?
Suddenly, she remembered something she had heard from some people living here. “Loggerhead sea turtles come back here every year in April. They bury their eggs on the beach and in the first week of September those baby turtles hatch and head back down to the sea. But some of them never make it. Sometimes they die going across the beach, trying to find those bright lights in the houses. The lights confuse the sea turtles.”

With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect’s brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect.
It’s not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. “Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. “The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away.” Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line.
In search of the neural mechanism (神经机制) that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.
The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.
In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. “Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient.” She comments.
8. Why is “a train” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the principle of train motion. B. To highlight why human vision is limited.
C. To explain how insects perceive distances. D. To compare the movement of trees and houses.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe’s model?
A. Its novel design. B. Its theoretical basis.
C. Its possible application. D. Its working mechanism.
10. What do the researchers think of the finding?
A. Amusing. B. Discouraging. C. Promising. D. Contradictory.
11. What will Chicca’s follow-up study focus on?
A. Inventing insect-like chips. B. Studying general-purpose robots.
C. Creating insect-inspired computers. D. Developing energy-efficient hardware.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A

Altitudes, landscapes and climates change dramatically as you move across the globe, but one factor remains nearly universal. All of Earth’s diversity is blanketed under a blue sky. But why is the sky blue? The explanation requires a bit of particle physics (粒子物理).
We see blue above us because of how light from the sun interacts with Earth’s atmosphere. The visible light contains a variety of colors, ranging from red light to violet. When all of the colors are mixed, the light appears white, Marc Chenard, a scientist at the National Weather Service, told Live Science. But once the white light traveling from the sun reaches Earth, some of the colors begin to interact with small particles in the atmosphere, he said.
Each color in the visible light has a different wavelength. Red and orange light waves, for instance, have longer wavelengths, while blue and violet light have much shorter wavelengths. It’s the shorter wavelengths of light that are more likely to be scattered (散射) or absorbed and reflected in a different direction by the air particles in Earth’s atmosphere, Chenard said. That’s what makes the sky blue.
Even though violet light is scattered too, there are a couple of reasons why we see the sky as more blue than purple, according to Ed Bloomer, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in the U. K. First, the sun doesn’t produce equal illumination (亮度) in all colors; it contains more blue light than violet light, so more blue light is scattered. Additionally, our eyes are not equally responsive to all colors, Bloomer told Live Science; they are less sensitive to violet light.
This preferential scattering of blue light also plays into the colors of sun rise and sunset. At sunset, as a particular point is turning farther and farther from the sun, sunlight must travel farther through the atmosphere to reach your eyes. By the time the sunlight reaches you, all of the blue light has been scattered away. As a result, the orange, red and yellow wavelengths are all that’s left to color the sunset.
12. The sky is blue because visible lights .
A. interact with air particles B. travel at different speeds
C. are too colorful to illuminate D. are reflected by blue oceans
13. How does the author make the explanation more accessible?
A. By following order of space. B. By picturing different scenes.
C. By giving personal experience. D. By quoting scientists’ opinions.
14. What mainly affects the colors of sunrise and sunset?
A. The quality of the atmosphere. B. The easier scattering of blue light.
C. The reflecting direction of the sunlight. D. The distance between the observer and the sun.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Earth’s Diversity: A Changeable Factor B. Atmospheric Circle: A Colorful Blanket
C. The Color of Sky:A Particle Physics View D. The Light Scattering:A Colorful Movement
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When all of the colors are mixed, the light appears white, Marc Chenard, a scientist at the National Weather Service, told Live Science.(美国国家气象局的科学家马克·切纳德告诉《生活科学》杂志,当所有的颜色混合在一起时,光就会呈现白色)”;第三段“It’s the shorter wavelengths of light that are more likely to be scattered (散射) or absorbed and reflected in a different direction by the air particles in Earth’s atmosphere, Chenard said.(切纳德说,波长较短的光更有可能被地球大气中的空气颗粒散射或吸收,并以不同的方向反射)”以及第四段“Even though violet light is scattered too, there are a couple of reasons why we see the sky as more blue than purple, according to Ed Bloomer, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in the U. K.(据英国格林威治皇家天文台的天文学家Ed Bloomer说,尽管紫光也会被散射,但我们看到的天空偏蓝而偏紫的原因有几个)”可知,作者通过引用科学家的观点来分析天空颜色的形成原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This preferential scattering of blue light also plays into the colors of sun rise and sunset.(蓝光的这种优先散射也影响了日出和日落的颜色)”可知,蓝光更容易散射主要影响日出和日落的颜色。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But why is the sky blue? The explanation requires a bit of particle physics (粒子物理).(但是为什么天空是蓝色的呢?这个解释需要一点粒子物理学的知识)”结合文章在从粒子物理的角度解释天空为什么是蓝色。正是由于粒子和光的相互作用,最后一段又提到了日出和日落呈现红色和橙色的原因。总而言之,文章从粒子物理的角度在解释天空的颜色。C选项“天空的颜色:粒子物理学的观点”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life.
____16____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse.
People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. ____17____ Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well.
____18____ Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. ____19____
The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. ____20____ The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media.
A. Anticipation itself is pleasurable.
B. Decrease unnecessary socializing.
C. Find someone to call or FaceTime.
D. This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized.
E. Facebook and Instagram often overstate how much better off others are.
F. Nothing is more important for our psychological health than high-quality friendships.
G. They recover from illnesses more quickly, live longer, and enjoy more enriched lives.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述的是中国最新热播电视节目《我的阿勒泰》如何促使阿勒泰成为年轻人中的新时尚旅游目的地,并探讨了该节目对当地旅游业的潜在影响。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国最新热播的电视节目《我的阿勒泰》使阿勒泰成为吸引年轻人的一个新的旅游目的地,他们被当地令人惊叹的景色和当地居民简单而温暖的生活所吸引。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词短语tourism destination,故填striking。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:《我的阿勒泰》改编自中国作家李娟的散文集《我的阿勒泰》,讲述了年轻女子李文秀在遭遇挫折后回到家乡阿勒泰的故事。句中谓语是tells,空格处用非谓语动词,the series和adapt之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作状语。位于句首,首字母大写,故填Adapted。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:自5月7日首播以来,《我的阿勒泰》已经成为热门。hit是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,hit是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在4K超高清摄像机的帮助下,该系列捕捉了阿勒泰的原始之美,在那里,雪山映衬着绵延数英里的草原,成群的羊在牧场上悠闲地吃草。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词Altay是地方,因此空格处用关系副词where引导定语从句,故填where。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:除了生动地展示游牧文化外,人们还喜欢节目中的人物和他们的故事。根据语境可知,句子表示“除了生动地展示游牧文化外,人们还喜欢节目中的人物和他们的故事”,aside from“除了”,故填from。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们庆祝日常生活的乐趣,反映了我们共同的人性。common是形容词,修饰名词,句子表示“他们庆祝日常生活的乐趣,反映了我们共同的人性”,空格处意为“人性”,作宾语,名词是humanity,是不可数名词。故填humanity。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:也许正是这种与内心世界的重新连接,以及对真美的渴望,吸引了如此多的观众。空格处用副词作状语,probable的副词是probably,意为“可能”。故填probably。
【43题详解】
考查强调句。句意:也许正是这种与内心世界的重新连接,以及对真美的渴望,吸引了如此多的观众。根据句意和句子结构可知,句子是强调句,结构是“It is/was+被强调的部分+who/that+其他部分”,句子被强调的是“this re-connection with one’s inner world and the desire for true beauty(这种与内心世界的重新连接以及对真正美的渴望)”,因此空格处用that。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这已经不是近年来第一次有热播剧把这里变成热门旅游目的地了。It’s not the first time that sb. have/has done sth.是固定句型,意为“这不是某人第一次做某事”。主语a hit show是单数,主谓一致,故填has helped。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:旅行社研究员Xiao Peng表示,当地政府或旅游公司可以通过结合阿勒泰的自然景观和文化元素来充分利用旅游产品,以改善人们的旅游体验。根据句意可知,空格处用不定式表目的,作状语。故填to improve。

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。
On warm September night, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, soft sea winds filled the air. The moon was full. Mira could feel the energy in the air. She loved everything about the ocean, and this evening she had come down to the beach to enjoy the salty night air and hear the waves washing over the sand gently.
Mira closed her eyes and listened to the waves. The gentle rolling sound was calming. Suddenly, Mira could hear another sound, too. She listened carefully. The sound was so soft that she could barely hear it. She opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a sudden, she could see a tiny head coming out. Then, she saw four tiny feet and a shell. A turtle had emerged!
Mira looked in amazement at the baby turtle. In the moonlight she could just make out the green and brown pattern on its shell. It was so small! She watched with wonder as other baby turtles began to emerge. One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Soon the beach was like a moving carpet of tiny turtles.
Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves in the opposite direction. Why would the turtles be going away from the ocean?
Suddenly, she remembered something she had heard from some people living here. “Loggerhead sea turtles come back here every year in April. They bury their eggs on the beach and in the first week of September those baby turtles hatch and head back down to the sea. But some of them never make it. Sometimes they die going across the beach, trying to find those bright lights in the houses. The lights confuse the sea turtles.”

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A possible version
Mira looked across the beach at her house. What came into her sight was her mother, sitting on the porch rocking her baby sister. Accompanying her was his father drinking lemonade. Mira could see them clearly because her house had two bright lights that lit up the front yard of the house. Suddenly it clicked. Mira shouted to them at the top of her voice, “Turn off the lights please!” But they failed to hear, so she began to run. She raced to her house with only one thought “Turn off the lights”. She tripped and fell, but without delay she picked herself up and continued running until she reached the house.
Upon arrival, she shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help them!” With that, Mira dashed into the house and turned off the bright porch lights. Her parents were a little bit confused. However, after Mira explained what had happened, they jumped into action as well. They hurriedly rushed to their neighbors and asked them to turn off their lights. Meanwhile, Mira was off running towards the sea again. She reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves. As the last turtle swam away, it seemed to have looked back at Mira. In the moonlight, Mira thought she saw it smile. Now Mira could picture all the small turtles swimming happily in the ocean.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。米拉热爱海洋的一切,这晚她来到海滩。闭目倾听中,她突然察觉到另一细微声响,竟是沙子在动!一只小海龟破土而出,随后更多小海龟挣扎着离开地下巢穴,海滩瞬间变得生机勃勃。米拉惊讶又困惑,因小海龟竟朝远离海洋的方向爬去。她随即想起当地居民的话:每年四月,红海龟会来此产卵,九月初小海龟孵化后应回归大海,但一些海龟会被沿岸房屋的灯光迷惑,误入歧途,甚至因此丧生。
