Melissa Wolf’s clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some have two legs, and some have four. All of them need a second chance.
Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption.
UnChained, founded in 2011, was born from Wolf’s own passion and personal experiences. When she was in her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect (忽视) she witnessed in some areas.
“Our kids often share very similar stories to the dogs, and we bring that into our classes. Many of our kids have experienced risk factors that have led them to the lives where they are,” Wolf said. “They experience joy, anger, fear and loneliness. When young people in our program can understand that they may share a similar story with a dog in need, and help that dog on a path to success, it can transform how they see themselves and their future.”
The program fosters empathy, compassion, and responsibility as students train and build trust with their designated (认定的) dog. At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents, and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve taught their dogs.
By establishing an emotional connection and teaching young people about a dog’s needs, Wolf says her team sees a change occur. It’s a win-win for both the young person and the animal.
“There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans,” Wolf said.
4. What is the goal of the UnChained program?
A. To provide legal aid for animals.
B. To train the youth to prepare dogs for adoption.
C. To offer job services to troubled teens.
D. To pair the youth with dogs for friendship.
5. Which of the following motivated Wolf to establish UnChained?
A. Her career as a dog trainer.
B. A vision for a new pet adoption model.
C. A general passion for animal rights.
D. Her witness to neglected animals.
6. What do the youth do at the graduation ceremony?
A. Say good-bye to their parents.
B. Present their academic progress.
C. Show their dog training results.
D. Meet with adoptive dog owners.
7. How does Wolf sound in the last paragraph?
A. Encouraged and satisfied. B. Nervous and thrilled.
C. Appreciative and optimistic. D. Reflective and hopeful.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

Snacks provide, on average, about one-fourth of most people’s daily calories. With nearly one in three adults in the United States overweight and more than two in five with obesity (肥胖), according to the National Institutes of Health, researchers in the Penn State Sensory Evaluation Center (PSSEC) are investigating how people can snack smarter.
The latest study investigated how eating behaviors change when consumers are served a dip (调味酱) with a salty snack. The findings suggest that they eat more — a lot more. The chips and dip together led to a 77% greater caloric intake, and a faster total eating rate compared to the just chips, no-dip control.
“The most striking findings of our study is that people didn’t eat fewer chips when dip was available — they ate the same amount of chips, plus the dip,” pointed out study author John Hayes, professor of food science and director of PSSEC. “This lack of compensation means that adding dip to chips can substantially increase overall energy intake without people realizing it.”
The study assessed 46 adult participants. In two visits to the Sensory Evaluation Center, they were served 70 grams of ranch-flavored chips, or about 2.5 servings, with or without about a third of a cup of ranch dip. Participants ate as much as they wanted. Their intake was measured, and all eating sessions were video recorded and annotated for the number of bites and active eating time. Researchers used that information to calculate measures of “eating microstructure”, including eating rate and bite size.
Hayes suggested that the greater intake of the chips and dip snack was facilitated by a larger bite size resulting from dip inclusion. On average per eating session, participants consumed 345 calories of chips and dip compared to 195 calories of chips alone.
“This research opens up new avenues for exploring how the physical properties of foods can influence our eating behaviors and ultimately, our energy intake,” he said. “If we can slow people down, we can influence energy consumption without giving up the pleasure from food.”
8. Why did PSSEC conduct the study?
A. To know about the impact of chips.
B. To get an idea of daily calories.
C. To investigate the obesity rate.
D. To make people snack wisely.
9. How does adding dip to chips affect participants?
A. Slowing eating rate. B. Eating fewer chips.
C. Taking in more calories. D. Lengthening eating time.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The result of the research. B. The process of the research.
C. The difficulties of the research. D. The influence of the research.
11. What may researchers suggest about limiting calories?
A. Eating snacks without dips. B. Replacing snacks with dips.
C. Giving up the pleasure of food. D. Decreasing portion sizes.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“With nearly one in three adults in the United States overweight and more than two in five with obesity (肥胖), according to the National Institutes of Health, researchers in the Penn State Sensory Evaluation Center (PSSEC) are investigating how people can snack smarter.(根据美国国家卫生研究院的数据,美国几乎每三个成年人中就有一个超重,超过五分之二的成年人有肥胖问题。宾夕法尼亚州立大学感官评估中心的研究人员正在研究人们如何能够更加聪明地选择零食)”可知,PSSEC进行这项研究是为了让人们更明智地吃零食。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The chips and dip together led to a 77% greater caloric intake, and a faster total eating rate compared to the just chips, no-dip control.(薯片和蘸酱一起食用导致的热量摄入比仅吃薯片、不蘸酱高出77%,并且总的进食速度也更快)”可知,在薯片上加上蘸酱会使参与者摄入更多的卡路里。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“The study assessed 46 adult participants. In two visits to the Sensory Evaluation Center, they were served 70 grams of ranch-flavored chips, or about 2.5 servings, with or without about a third of a cup of ranch dip. Participants ate as much as they wanted. Their intake was measured, and all eating sessions were video recorded and annotated for the number of bites and active eating time. Researchers used that information to calculate measures of “eating microstructure”, including eating rate and bite size.(这项研究评估了46名成年参与者。在两次访问感官评估中心的过程中,他们被提供了70克牧场口味的薯片,大约相当于2.5份,有的时候配有大约三分之一杯的牧场蘸酱,有的时候则没有蘸酱。参与者可以随意食用。研究人员测量了他们的摄入量,并且所有的进食过程都被录像记录下来,用于标注咬合次数和活跃进食时间。研究者利用这些信息计算了“进食微观结构”的指标,包括进食速率和咬合大小)”可知,第四段详细描述了研究的过程,包括参与者的人数、实验设计、数据收集方法等。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Hayes suggested that the greater intake of the chips and dip snack was facilitated by a larger bite size resulting from dip inclusion. On average per eating session, participants consumed 345 calories of chips and dip compared to 195 calories of chips alone.(Hayes指出,薯片和蘸酱组合导致的更大摄入量可能是由于加入了蘸酱后单次咬食的量增加所致。在每次进食过程中,参与者平均消费了345卡路里的薯片和蘸酱,而单独食用薯片时则为195卡路里)”及最后一段中“If we can slow people down, we can influence energy consumption without giving up the pleasure from food.(如果我们能让人们放慢进食速度,就能在不影响食物带来的愉悦感的情况下影响能量消耗)”可推知,研究人员可能会建议不吃蘸酱的零食来限制卡路里。故选A。
D
Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶), with their striking orange and black wings, are some of the most recognizable butterflies in North America. But they’re in trouble. Monarch caterpillars (幼虫) can only eat the leaves of milkweed, a native wildflower. As milkweed has disappeared, so the monarchs have got to the point that they’re at risk of extinction.
Research shows that planting milkweed in home gardens can add significant monarch habitat to the landscape. In a new study in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, researchers and community scientists monitored urban milkweed plants for butterfly eggs to learn what makes these city gardens more hospitable to monarchs. They found that even tiny city gardens attracted monarchs and became a home to caterpillars.
Monarch butterflies have one of the most unusual and demanding migration patterns of any insect. The eastern population of monarchs starts the year in Mexico, and they move up across North America in the spring and summer.
“As they travel, they lay their eggs, and when those adults die, the next generation continues the migration northward. They will make it all the way to southern Canada, and at the end of summer, a new super generation is born that migrates all the way south and survives through the winter. Since it takes multiple generations of milkweed- eating caterpillars to get the monarch population from Mexico to Canada each year, the monarchs rely on milkweed plants throughout their migration path,” says Klinger, the study’s lead author and a Geographic Information Systems analyst in the Keller Science Action Center.
Klinger and his colleague worked with volunteers around Chicagoland to monitor milkweed plants in their yards and neighborhoods for monarch butterflies laying their eggs on the plants and caterpillars eating the milkweed leaves.
“We wanted to answer the question: How well do these urban milkweed gardens actually support monarch butterflies? Everybody always wants to know: What should we plant? What species of milkweed, how many plants, how big of a garden? There are so many questions to answer, so we were hoping that we could use this project and the data from it to start answering those questions,” says Klinger.
12. What does the underlined word “hospitable” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Critical. B. Welcoming. C. Efficient. D. Abnormal.
13. Why does the author mention the demanding migration pattern of monarch butterflies?
A. To explain how the butterflies try to reproduce.
B. To prove what a difficult life the butterflies live.
C. To find the best migration routes for the butterflies.
D. To show why milkweed is important to the butterflies.
14. What do the researchers hope to learn from their project?
A. Best planting strategies. B. Caterpillar growth rates.
C. Milkweed diseases. D. Substitutes for milkweed.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists raised a series of questions on planting milkweed
B. Monarch caterpillars only eat the leaves of milkweed
C. Planting milkweed can help save monarch butterflies
D. Monarch butterflies have the most demanding migration patterns
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明,在家庭花园种植马利筋可以为景观增加重要的帝王蝶栖息地。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“In a new study in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, researchers and community scientists monitored urban milkweed plants for butterfly eggs to learn what makes these city gardens…(在《生态与进化前沿》杂志上的一项新研究中,研究人员和社区科学家监测了城市马利筋植物中的蝴蝶卵,以了解是什么让这些城市花园……)”以及后一句“They found that even tiny city gardens attracted monarchs and became a home to caterpillars.( 他们发现,即使是很小的城市花园也会吸引帝王蝶,成为毛毛虫的家园。)”由此可知,此处为城市花园对花园更友好。故可猜测划线单词hospitable为“友好的,欢迎的”意思,结合选项B项Welcoming“欢迎的”意思一致。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““As they travel, they lay their eggs, and when those adults die, the next generation continues the migration northward. They will make it all the way to southern Canada, and at the end of summer, a new super generation is born that migrates all the way south and survives through the winter. Since it takes multiple generations of milkweed- eating caterpillars to get the monarch population from Mexico to Canada each year, the monarchs rely on milkweed plants throughout their migration path,” says Klinger(“当它们旅行时,它们会产卵,当这些成年蝴蝶死后,下一代继续向北迁徙。它们会一路来到加拿大南部,夏末,新的超级一代出生,它们会一路向南迁徙,度过整个冬天。由于每年需要几代以马利筋为食的毛毛虫才能将黑脉金斑蝶从墨西哥运到加拿大,因此黑脉金斑蝶在整个迁徙过程中都依赖马利筋植物。)”可推知,作者提到了帝王蝶苛刻的迁徙模式是为了说明为什么马利筋对蝴蝶很重要。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““We wanted to answer the question: How well do these urban milkweed gardens actually support monarch butterflies? Everybody always wants to know: What should we plant? What species of milkweed, how many plants, how big of a garden? There are so many questions to answer, so we were hoping that we could use this project and the data from it to start answering those questions,” says Klinger.(“我们想回答这个问题:这些城市马利筋花园实际上对帝王蝶的支持程度如何?”每个人都想知道:我们应该种什么?什么种类的马利筋,多少种植物,一个花园有多大?有很多问题需要回答,所以我们希望我们可以利用这个项目和它的数据来开始回答这些问题,”克林格说。)”可知,研究人员希望从他们的项目中了解最佳种植策略。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“Research shows that planting milkweed in home gardens can add significant monarch habitat to the landscape.( 研究表明,在家庭花园种植马利筋可以为景观增加重要的帝王蝶栖息地。)”可知,这篇文章主要讲的是研究表明,在家庭花园种植马利筋可以为景观增加重要的帝王蝶栖息地。故文章最好的标题是“种植马利筋可以帮助拯救帝王蝶”。故选C项。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Addo Elephant National Park, a sanctuary (庇护所) for numerous African elephants, is home to both forest elephants, which can weigh up to 4 tons, and the larger bush elephants, weighing between 6 and 8 metric tons. One summer day, a baby bush elephant found itself trapped in a muddy pit (坑), unable to escape. The sight was heartbreaking for anyone who witnessed it.
The elephant herd, known for their tight- knit bonds, did their best to assist the struggling baby elephant. They attempted to help by spraying water around the edges of the pit, hoping it would make it easier for the baby elephant to climb out. Despite their efforts, the situation remained terrible.
The park, lacking fences or borders, made any human rescue attempt risky, as it meant getting close to the massive, protective adults.
Undiscouraged, the dedicated park staff, known for their expertise and commitment, took immediate actions. They quickly arrived at the scene and began digging around the pit to create a safe escape route for the distressed baby elephant.
Unfortunately, this well- intentioned plan did not go as hoped. Instead of helping, the situation worsened. The anxious herd huddled(挤成一团)close r around the baby, pushing the baby further into the water- filled pit.
With time running out and the tension rising, the rescuers had to think of a new strategy quickly and creatively. In an impressive display of quick thinking and courage, the rangers decided on an adventurous plan.
They used their park vehicles to gently drive the adult elephants away. These adults, weighing several tons each, presented a significant risk. But the rangers’ determination was firm.
Miraculously, the adult elephants, sensing the urgency and understanding the humans’ intentions, moved away, providing the rescuers with the critical opportunity they needed.
With the adults now at a safe distance, the rangers swiftly moved in to rescue the baby elephant, which weighed over 200 pounds.
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。
As the rescue succeeded, there was a touching turn from the baby elephant.

But the story didn’t end there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As the rescue succeeded, there was a touching turn from the baby elephant. It emitted a small trumpet, a sound full of gratitude and relief, as the rangers gently lifted it out of the pit using a combination of manpower and machines. The little one, now free from its muddy prison, immediately ran towards the waiting herd. The adult elephants, visibly relieved, welcomed the baby with a circle of trunks in a communal embrace, their tight-knit bond again visibly displayed. It was a heartwarming scene that emphasized the deep familial ties elephants share.
But the story didn’t end there. The rescue operation became a testament to human and animal cooperation. The rangers, witnessing the profound affection within the herd, felt a renewed sense of purpose. They used this experience as a learning opportunity, refining their rescue techniques to be even more effective in the future. The baby elephant soon rejoined its herd, and together they disappeared into the vast openness of Addo Elephant National Park. This incident also highlighted the importance of wildlife conservation efforts and the impact of dedicated humans working tirelessly to ensure the safety of vulnerable animals in their natural habitats.

Melissa Wolf’s clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some have two legs, and some have four. All of them need a second chance.
Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption.
UnChained, founded in 2011, was born from Wolf’s own passion and personal experiences. When she was in her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect (忽视) she witnessed in some areas.
“Our kids often share very similar stories to the dogs, and we bring that into our classes. Many of our kids have experienced risk factors that have led them to the lives where they are,” Wolf said. “They experience joy, anger, fear and loneliness. When young people in our program can understand that they may share a similar story with a dog in need, and help that dog on a path to success, it can transform how they see themselves and their future.”
The program fosters empathy, compassion, and responsibility as students train and build trust with their designated (认定的) dog. At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents, and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve taught their dogs.
By establishing an emotional connection and teaching young people about a dog’s needs, Wolf says her team sees a change occur. It’s a win-win for both the young person and the animal.
“There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans,” Wolf said.
4. What is the goal of the UnChained program?
A. To provide legal aid for animals.
B. To train the youth to prepare dogs for adoption.
C. To offer job services to troubled teens.
D. To pair the youth with dogs for friendship.
5. Which of the following motivated Wolf to establish UnChained?
A. Her career as a dog trainer.
B A vision for a new pet adoption model.
C. A general passion for animal rights.
D. Her witness to neglected animals.
6. What do the youth do at the graduation ceremony?
A. Say good-bye to their parents.
B. Present their academic progress.
C. Show their dog training results.
D. Meet with adoptive dog owners.
7. How does Wolf sound in the last paragraph?
A. Encouraged and satisfied. B. Nervous and thrilled.
C. Appreciative and optimistic. D. Reflective and hopeful.
C
Snacks provide, on average, about one-fourth of most people’s daily calories. With nearly one in three adults in the United States overweight and more than two in five with obesity (肥胖), according to the National Institutes of Health, researchers in the Penn State Sensory Evaluation Center (PSSEC) are investigating how people can snack smarter.
The latest study investigated how eating behaviors change when consumers are served a dip (调味酱) with a salty snack. The findings suggest that they eat more — a lot more. The chips and dip together led to a 77% greater caloric intake, and a faster total eating rate compared to the just chips, no-dip control.
“The most striking findings of our study is that people didn’t eat fewer chips when dip was available — they ate the same amount of chips plus the dip,” pointed out study author John Hayes, professor of food science and director of PSSEC. “This lack of compensation means that adding dip to chips can substantially increase overall energy intake without people realizing it.”
The study assessed 46 adult participants. In two visits to the Sensory Evaluation Center, they were served 70 grams of ranch-flavored chips, or about 2.5 servings, with or without about a third of a cup of ranch dip. Participants ate as much as they wanted. Their intake was measured, and all eating sessions were video recorded and annotated for the number of bites and active eating time. Researchers used that information to calculate measures of “eating microstructure”, including eating rate and bite size.
Hayes suggested that the greater intake of the chips and dip snack was facilitated by a larger bite size resulting from dip inclusion. On average per eating session, participants consumed 345 calories of chips and dip compared to 195 calories of chips alone.

Monarch butterflies (帝王蝶), with their striking orange and black wings, are some of the most recognizable butterflies in North America. But they’re in trouble. Monarch caterpillars (幼虫) can only eat the leaves of milkweed, a native wildflower. As milkweed has disappeared, so the monarchs have got to the point that they’re at risk of extinction.
Research shows that planting milkweed in home gardens can add significant monarch habitat to the landscape. In a new study in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, researchers and community scientists monitored urban milkweed plants for butterfly eggs to learn what makes these city gardens more hospitable to monarchs. They found that even tiny city gardens attracted monarchs and became a home to caterpillars.
Monarch butterflies have one of the most unusual and demanding migration patterns of any insect. The eastern population of monarchs starts the year in Mexico, and they move up across North America in the spring and summer.
“As they travel, they lay their eggs, and when those adults die, the next generation continues the migration northward. They will make it all the way to southern Canada, and at the end of summer, a new super generation is born that migrates all the way south and survives through the winter. Since it takes multiple generations of milkweed- eating caterpillars to get the monarch population from Mexico to Canada each year, the monarchs rely on milkweed plants throughout their migration path,” says Klinger, the study’s lead author and a Geographic Information Systems analyst in the Keller Science Action Center.
Klinger and his colleague worked with volunteers around Chicagoland to monitor milkweed plants in their yards and neighborhoods for monarch butterflies laying their eggs on the plants and caterpillars eating the milkweed leaves.
“We wanted to answer the question: How well do these urban milkweed gardens actually support monarch butterflies? Everybody always wants to know: What should we plant? What species of milkweed, how many plants, how big of a garden? There are so many questions to answer, so we were hoping that we could use this project and the data from it to start answering those questions,” says Klinger.
12. What does the underlined word “hospitable” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Critical. B. Welcoming. C. Efficient. D. Abnormal.
13. Why does the author mention the demanding migration pattern of monarch butterflies?
A. To explain how the butterflies try to reproduce.
B. To prove what a difficult life the butterflies live.
C. To find the best migration routes for the butterflies.
D. To show why milkweed is important to the butterflies.
14. What do the researchers hope to learn from their project?
A. Best planting strategies. B. Caterpillar growth rates.
C. Milkweed diseases. D. Substitutes for milkweed.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists raised a series of questions on planting milkweed
B. Monarch caterpillars only eat the leaves of milkweed
C. Planting milkweed can help save monarch butterflies
D. Monarch butterflies have the most demanding migration patterns

Addo Elephant National Park, a sanctuary (庇护所) for numerous African elephants, is home to both forest elephants, which can weigh up to 4 tons, and the larger bush elephants, weighing between 6 and 8 metric tons. One summer day, a baby bush elephant found itself trapped in a muddy pit (坑), unable to escape. The sight was heartbreaking for anyone who witnessed it.
The elephant herd, known for their tight- knit bonds, did their best to assist the struggling baby elephant. They attempted to help by spraying water around the edges of the pit, hoping it would make it easier for the baby elephant to climb out. Despite their efforts, the situation remained terrible.
The park, lacking fences or borders, made any human rescue attempt risky, as it meant getting close to the massive, protective adults.
Undiscouraged, the dedicated park staff, known for their expertise and commitment, took immediate actions. They quickly arrived at the scene and began digging around the pit to create a safe escape route for the distressed baby elephant.
Unfortunately, this well- intentioned plan did not go as hoped. Instead of helping, the situation worsened. The anxious herd huddled(挤成一团)close r around the baby, pushing the baby further into the water- filled pit.
With time running out and the tension rising, the rescuers had to think of a new strategy quickly and creatively. In an impressive display of quick thinking and courage, the rangers decided on an adventurous plan.
They used their park vehicles to gently drive the adult elephants away. These adults, weighing several tons each, presented a significant risk. But the rangers’ determination was firm.
Miraculously, the adult elephants, sensing the urgency and understanding the humans’ intentions, moved away, providing the rescuers with the critical opportunity they needed.
With the adults now at a safe distance, the rangers swiftly moved in to rescue the baby elephant, which weighed over 200 pounds.
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。
As the rescue succeeded, there was a touching turn from the baby elephant.
