When Chelsie King, a drama teacher in Maryland, and her husband Jeremy, who uses a wheelchair because of a brain tumor operation, were expecting their first child, they faced a unique challenge: how Jeremy could safely take their baby for a walk. Unable to find suitable wheelchair-adaptive strollers (婴儿车) online, Chelsie approached Matt Zigler, a teacher at her school, Bullis School. Zigler, who leads the school’s creative technology lab, saw this as a chance for his “Making for Social Good” class to design a solution.
The students brainstormed ideas and interviewed the Kings to better understand the requirements. “The hardest part of the project was putting ourselves in the shoes of a person with physical disabilities,” Zigler told CNN. “To achieve a successful project we had to use empathy (共情) and really make sure we were thinking about everything a person with Mr. King’s disabilities would be forced to consider.” They needed a design that was safe, easy to use, and would allow Jeremy to independently attach and detach (拆开) the stroller from his wheelchair. The students used 3D printing and materials from Home Depot to create two key products: the WheeStroll Wheelchair Stroller Attachment for newborns, and a second version for older babies. In just a few months, the group’s joint effort saw them create an amazing solution allowing people with disabilities to walk their babies independently, just in time for the birth of the couple’s son.
The Kings were content with the result. Jeremy expressed how excited it was to finally have the ability to take a walk with his child, something he didn’t think would be possible. The invention gave the family more freedom and mobility, and the class’s design won two international awards. Zigler stressed the importance of sharing the design so that others can recreate it in workshops around the world, helping more parents with similar problems.
4. Why did the Kings need a special stroller?
A The wife had an operation. B. The husband moves with a wheelchair.
C. They had a baby with special needs. D. They couldn’t afford one on the market.
5. What do we know about Matt Zigler?
A. He is an art teacher. B. He offers money to the students.
C. He often does experiments online. D. He leads the students to create things.
6. What puzzled the inventors most?
A. To attach and detach the stroller from a wheelchair.
B. To 3D print different parts of the stroller.
C. To really understand the needs of the disabled.
D. To ensure the safety of the invention.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pupils’ Invention Helps Dad in Wheelchair Walk Baby Around
B. Young Couple Get Priceless Advice from Students
C. School Teachers Make Efforts to Improve Strollers
D. The Disabled Think of Creative Solutions
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.
“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.
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

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。
I was nominated (提名) for our school’s debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡) , anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly.

When Chelsie King, a drama teacher in Maryland, and her husband Jeremy, who uses a wheelchair because of a brain tumor operation, were expecting their first child, they faced a unique challenge: how Jeremy could safely take their baby for a walk. Unable to find suitable wheelchair-adaptive strollers (婴儿车) online, Chelsie approached Matt Zigler, a teacher at her school, Bullis School. Zigler, who leads the school’s creative technology lab, saw this as a chance for his “Making for Social Good” class to design a solution.
The students brainstormed ideas and interviewed the Kings to better understand the requirements. “The hardest part of the project was putting ourselves in the shoes of a person with physical disabilities,” Zigler told CNN. “To achieve a successful project we had to use empathy (共情) and really make sure we were thinking about everything a person with Mr. King’s disabilities would be forced to consider.” They needed a design that was safe, easy to use, and would allow Jeremy to independently attach and detach (拆开) the stroller from his wheelchair. The students used 3D printing and materials from Home Depot to create two key products: the WheeStroll Wheelchair Stroller Attachment for newborns, and a second version for older babies. In just a few months, the group’s joint effort saw them create an amazing solution allowing people with disabilities to walk their babies independently, just in time for the birth of the couple’s son.
The Kings were content with the result. Jeremy expressed how excited it was to finally have the ability to take a walk with his child, something he didn’t think would be possible. The invention gave the family more freedom and mobility, and the class’s design won two international awards. Zigler stressed the importance of sharing the design so that others can recreate it in workshops around the world, helping more parents with similar problems.
4. Why did the Kings need a special stroller?
A. The wife had an operation. B. The husband moves with a wheelchair.
C. They had a baby with special needs. D. They couldn’t afford one on the market.
5. What do we know about Matt Zigler?
A. He is an art teacher. B. He offers money to the students.
C. He often does experiments online. D. He leads the students to create things.
6. What puzzled the inventors most?
A. To attach and detach the stroller from a wheelchair.
B. To 3D print different parts of the stroller.
C. To really understand the needs of the disabled.
D. To ensure the safety of the invention.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pupils’ Invention Helps Dad in Wheelchair Walk Baby Around
B. Young Couple Get Priceless Advice from Students
C. School Teachers Make Efforts to Improve Strollers
D. The Disabled Think of Creative Solutions
【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

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

【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?

42. third 43. performing
44. pride 45. from
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章写到,每个人都会犯错,但我们所作所为伤害到父母时,尤其令人伤心。但是父母是爱我们的,我们真心请求原谅,他们就会原谅我们。安娜和父母吵架之后认识到自己的错误,给父母写了一封道歉信。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:每个人都会在某些时候犯错误,但当我们伤害了爱我们一生的父母时,这尤其令人心碎。空后名词mistake是可数名词,使用了其单数形式作宾语,前面没有其他限定词,首次提到且泛指,mistake以辅音音素开头需要不定冠词。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:每个人都会在某些时候犯错误,但当我们伤害了爱我们一生的父母时,这尤其令人心碎。该空需要一个关系词引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词parents,先行词指人,关系词指代先行词在从句中作主语,应填关系代词who/that。故填that/who。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:安娜是一名高中生,她和父母发生了争执,昨天她给父母写了一封信请求原谅。该空所给动词write在句中作谓语,根据前面分句的谓语动词argued及时间状语yesterday可知,应使用一般过去时态。故填wrote。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:我一直没有把注意力放在更重要的事情上。固定短语focus on或focus upon意为“专注于,集中精力于”符合语境。故填on/upon。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:我现在明白你们是多么希望为我们把一切都做完美。该空为介词的宾语,代词应使用宾格形式,所给代词we是主格形式,只能作主语。故填us。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我利用了你们给我的一而再,再而三的机会,这是不对的。前面使用了形式主语it,所给动词take在句中作真正的主语,应使用动词不定式形式。故填to take。
【42题详解】
考查序数词。句意:我利用了你们给我的一而再,再而三的机会,这是不对的。该空需要使用序数词形式与前面the first, the second并列,序数词three的序数词拼写为third。故填third。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我知道如果我继续这样糟糕的表现,我永远不会成为未来的赢家。固定短语keep doing sth.意为“一直做某事”,所给动词perform在句中作keep的宾语,应使用动名词形式。故填performing。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:我想上大学,我想让你以我为荣。该空需要一个名词作宾语,短语take pride in意为“为……而自豪”符合题意。故填pride。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:我保证从现在开始做得更好。固定短语from now on意为“从今往后”符合语境。故填from。

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。
I was nominated (提名) for our school’s debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡) , anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No, really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mom gave me a serious look.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
I stared at Mom and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth. “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her guidance, I spent the next three months improving my skills. I practiced debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience.
I did make it when a second chance came 3 months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament, they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready. My performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared. Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the resilience I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother’s wisdom had steered me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person.
【解析】
