B In a Florida neighborhood, a kind-hearted man named William Dunn, now 58, noticed a young boy frequently storming in and out of his home alone. Curious about the child’s life, Dunn inquired and learned the boy was missing a father figure. Remembering the peace and patience he learned from his own dad through fishing, Dunn decided to share this joy with the boy, gaining permission from his mother to take him on fishing trips. What began as a casual Saturday outing evolved into a 16-year tradition. Dunn, a father of three, started taking groups of kids, many without dads, on weekend fishing trips. Among them were foster kids who had known little stability. “They’d been through a lot,” Dunn reflects, “but fishing made all that fade away.” The kids, who affectionately call him ‘Big Will’, found calm and fun on the water. Initially, Dunn used a portion of his tyre sales income to rent boats for the kids. In 2018, he formalized his efforts by founding the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. Since then, he and his volunteers have introduced over 2500 kids to the thrill of fishing. One such child was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally after his father’s tragic death in 2020. Jayden, now 13, has matured through fishing, even boasting of a shark catch with Dunn’s help, expressing deep gratitude. The fishing is only part of the impact Dunn has; the relationships he builds are equally significant. When Jayden’s grades suffered, a talk with Big Will turned things around, giving Jayden a sense of purpose. Bella Smith, a 21-year-old foster kid and automotive student, values the self-respect and mental toughness Dunn emphasizes. “Fishing helps me focus on the positive,” she says. After Dunn’s own father passed away in December, the fishing trips took on added significance. “I have even more passion for it now,” he says, cherishing the moments when a child’s face lights up with their first catch. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend,” Dunn says. 4. What inspired William Dunn to start taking kids on fishing trips? A. He needed help with his fishing trips. B. He wanted to teach them about his tyre business. C. He recalled the joy of fishing with his own father. D. He was a fishing instructor looking for students. 5. What is the main purpose of the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc.? A. To promote the fishing business of William Dunn. B. To expose children without father figures to fishing. C. To teach fishing skills to children with father figures. D. To provide employment opportunities for young adults. 6. What impact does Dunn have on the kids he takes on fishing trips? A. He teaches them how to fish to kill time. B. He offers them emotional support and guidance. C. He helps them improve their academic performance. D. He offered them a temporary escape from their problems. 7. Why did Dunn’s fishing trips take on added significance after his father passed away? A. Fishing helped Dunn recover from his father’s death. B. The non-profit organization took up more of his time. C. The children no longer wanted to participate in the trips. D. Dunn realized fishing was a way to remember his father. C Is there anything more boring than the endless drive to make every waking moment more productive? “If I can save ten seconds on a process that happens ten times per day, that’s a minute and 40 seconds saved per day,” a productivity expert recently advised in Time magazine, to take just one example. “Over the course of a year, that’s ten hours saved.” If that sounds exhausting, the good news is that there are many reasons to avoid putting ourselves under this kind of non-stop pressure – not least the latest neuroscience on how the brain regulates focus, as we explore in “Take control of your brain’s master switch to optimize (最优化) how you think”. It has to do with a tiny bundle of blue-tinged neurons in the brainstem called the locus coeruleus. According to new research, this structure acts like a gear lever that sets the pace of our brain’s processing. In Gear 1, the mind can wander freely; in Gear 2, we are highly engaged and attentive; and in Gear 3, we are hyperalert and quick to respond to a crisis. What various experiments have now shown is that moderate locus coeruleus activity – Gear 2— is the optimum state for many types of cognitive activity. It increases our concentration, while also allowing for the kind of thinking necessary for problem-solving. Gear 3 may be useful when we are facing an emergency, but it reduces our capacity to think analytically or creatively. Crucially, it turns out that the locus coeruleus can easily be tipped into Gear 3 whenever we are under pressure. If we are constantly pushing ourselves to achieve more and more in a limited amount of time, we may find ourselves stuck in this overwhelming and exhausting brain state, which will only reduce the quality of our output in the long term. With that in mind, it may, in fact, be foolish to insist on driving the engine of thought at ever greater speeds all the time. What is too often overlooked is the need to give your brain plenty of opportunity to return to a lower gear. For high-quality thinking, contrary to much of the productivity advice, downtime may be just as productive as uptime. 8. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The author is critical of the advice given by productivity experts. B. The author is indifferent to the advice given by productivity experts. C. The author agrees with the productivity experts’ approach to time management. D. The author believes that everyone should follow the advice of productivity experts. 9. What does the underlined phrase “locus coeruleus” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A part of the brain that controls sleep patterns. B. A type of cognitive activity that enhances creativity. C. A method of time management used by productivity experts. D. A small group of neurons in the brainstem that regulate focus. 10. Which gear state of the locus coeruleus is best for cognitive activity? A. Gear 1, where the mind can wander freely. B. Gear 2, where we are highly engaged and attentive. C. Gear 3, where we are hyperalert and quick to respond. D. Any gear state, as they are equally beneficial for cognitive activity. 11. What can be inferred about the author’s view? A. Constant productivity is the key to success. B. Downtime is a waste of time and should be minimized. C. Downtime is as important as uptime for productivity. D. Downtime is a must for those who are not productive. D Your favorite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it. In southwest Spain, black Iberian pigs forage (觅食) under centuries-old oak trees, a process essential for the unique taste of the Jamon Iberico, a special cured ham (腌制火腿) made from the black-footed pig. However, according to National Geographic, frequent heat waves and a five-year drought have reduced the number of the trees’ acorns (橡子) as well as the grass around them. Without these natural food sources, the pigs require extra feed, which changes the ham’s unique flavor. It takes 30 years for oak trees to grow acorns, and alternative feeds like olives would make the meat taste bitter and spicy. Drought also affects the taste of fruits. Watermelons and cantaloupes (香瓜), for instance, display noticeable flavor changes during drought conditions. Researchers at the Agrifood Research and Technology Center of Aragon in Spain explained to the Spanish online newspaper Publico that compounds (化合物) such as sugars build up during drought, changing the taste of food, either positively or negatively. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors. Typically, warm days and cool nights enhance the sugar and acid content in fruits, which are essential for optimal (最佳的) flavor. However, global warming makes this less likely. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth, noted National Geographic. Similarly, oysters, which do best in a mix of salt and freshwater, are losing their distinct flavors due to their increasingly salty environment caused by rising sea levels and heightened river salinity (盐度). While the food we consume is deeply influenced by the climate crisis, our food choices also contribute to it. Meat and dairy, especially from cows, significantly impact the climate. Raising livestock (牲畜) accounts for about 14.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions annually, comparable to the emissions from all cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships combined. Compared to plant protein, producing animal protein generally requires more land, energy and water. This may seem like a vicious circle (恶性循环), but it is not impossible to break. The Good Food Institute, a US-based think tank promoting alternative proteins, believes people will choose such options if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Harris, a US farmer, practices regenerative farming by allowing cows to move around freely and reducing chemical use and soil disturbance, which is more environmentally friendly. In addition, buying local, in-season produce is usually best, as out-of-season fruits and vegetables, especially those flown in, have a high carbon footprint. 12. How does climate change affect Jamon Iberico’s taste? A. By transforming the breed of the pigs. B. By changing the pigs’ natural diet. C. By speeding up the aging process of the ham. D. By affecting the curing process of the ham. 13. How does the author illustrate the impact of climate change on fruits? A. By discussing the acid contents in fruits. B. By describing changes in fruit size. C. By mentioning the changes in fruit color. D. By stressing the sugar buildup during drought. 14. What is the primary purpose of the author in the last paragraph? A To argue for stricter farming regulations. B. To demonstrate the failure to fight climate change. C. To encourage more sustainable farming practices. D. To promote the consumption of imported fruits. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Flavors of Climate Change B. The Future of Food Production C. The Impact of Drought on Agriculture D. Climate Change and Food Security 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11 showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports.

Curious about the child’s life, Dunn inquired and learned the boy was missing a father figure. Remembering the peace and patience he learned from his own dad through fishing, Dunn decided to share this joy with the boy, gaining permission from his mother to take him on fishing trips. What began as a casual Saturday outing evolved into a 16-year tradition. Dunn, a father of three, started taking groups of kids, many without dads, on weekend fishing trips. Among them were foster kids who had known little stability. “They’d been through a lot,” Dunn reflects, “but fishing made all that fade away.” The kids, who affectionately call him ‘Big Will’, found calm and fun on the water. Initially, Dunn used a portion of his tyre sales income to rent boats for the kids. In 2018, he formalized his efforts by founding the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. Since then, he and his volunteers have introduced over 2500 kids to the thrill of fishing. One such child was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally after his father’s tragic death in 2020. Jayden, now 13, has matured through fishing, even boasting of a shark catch with Dunn’s help, expressing deep gratitude. The fishing is only part of the impact Dunn has; the relationships he builds are equally significant. When Jayden’s grades suffered, a talk with Big Will turned things around, giving Jayden a sense of purpose. Bella Smith, a 21-year-old foster kid and automotive student, values the self-respect and mental toughness Dunn emphasizes. “Fishing helps me focus on the positive,” she says. After Dunn’s own father passed away in December, the fishing trips took on added significance. “I have even more passion for it now,” he says, cherishing the moments when a child’s face lights up with their first catch. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend,” Dunn says. 4. What inspired William Dunn to start taking kids on fishing trips? A. He needed help with his fishing trips. B. He wanted to teach them about his tyre business. C. He recalled the joy of fishing with his own father. D. He was a fishing instructor looking for students. 5. What is the main purpose of the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc.? A. To promote the fishing business of William Dunn. B. To expose children without father figures to fishing. C. To teach fishing skills to children with father figures. D. To provide employment opportunities for young adults. 6. What impact does Dunn have on the kids he takes on fishing trips? A. He teaches them how to fish to kill time. B. He offers them emotional support and guidance. C. He helps them improve their academic performance. D. He offered them a temporary escape from their problems. 7. Why did Dunn’s fishing trips take on added significance after his father passed away? A. Fishing helped Dunn recover from his father’s death. B. The non-profit organization took up more of his time. C. The children no longer wanted to participate in the trips. D. Dunn realized fishing was a way to remember his father. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述邓恩利用教邻居孩子们钓鱼来陪伴孩子并教育孩子学会冷静，有耐心的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Remembering the peace and patience he learned from his own dad through fishing, Dunn decided to share this joy with the boy, gaining permission from his mother to take him on fishing trips. (邓恩想起了他从自己的父亲那里学到的平静和耐心，决定与男孩分享这份快乐，并获得了男孩母亲的许可，带他去钓鱼) ”可知，和自己父亲一起钓鱼的快乐促使威廉·邓恩开始带孩子们去钓鱼。故选C。 5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2018, he formalized his efforts by founding the non-profit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. Since then, he and his volunteers have introduced over 2500 kids to the thrill of fishing. One such child was Jayden Pryor, who struggled emotionally after his father’s tragic death in 2020. Jayden, now 13, has matured through fishing, even boasting of a shark catch with Dunn’s help, expressing deep gratitude. (2018年，他正式成立了非营利组织Take a Kid Fishing股份有限公司。从那时起，他和他的志愿者已经向2500多名儿童介绍了钓鱼的刺激。Jayden Pryor就是这样一个孩子，在2020年父亲不幸去世后，他在情感上挣扎。现年13岁的杰登通过钓鱼变得成熟，甚至在邓恩的帮助下吹嘘自己捕到了鲨鱼，表达了深深的感激之情) ”可推知，邓恩建立Take a Kid Fishing股份有限公司是为了以父亲的形象和身份教给孩子们钓鱼的技巧和体会钓鱼的乐趣。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The fishing is only part of the impact Dunn has; the relationships he builds are equally significant. When Jayden’s grades suffered, a talk with Big Will turned things around, giving Jayden a sense of purpose. Bella Smith, a 21-year-old foster kid and automotive student, values the self-respect and mental toughness Dunn emphasizes. “Fishing helps me focus on the positive,” she says. (捕鱼只是邓恩影响的一部分；他建立的关系同样重要。当Jayden的成绩受到影响时，与Big Will的一次谈话扭转了局面，给了Jayden一种目标感。21岁的贝拉·史密斯是一名寄养儿童和汽车专业的学生，她重视邓恩强调的自尊和心理韧性。“钓鱼帮助我专注于积极的一面，”她说) ”可推知，邓恩给孩子们提供了精神上的支持和引导。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After Dunn’s own father passed away in December, the fishing trips took on added significance. “I have even more passion for it now,” he says, cherishing the moments when a child’s face lights up with their first catch. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend,” Dunn says. (邓恩自己的父亲于12月去世后，钓鱼之旅变得更加有意义。“我现在对它更有热情了，”他说，珍惜孩子第一次抓到鱼时脸上亮起的时刻。邓恩说：“我很幸运每个周末都能见证这一点。”)”可推知，带孩子钓鱼帮助邓恩从父亲的去世中恢复过来。故选A。 C Is there anything more boring than the endless drive to make every waking moment more productive? “If I can save ten seconds on a process that happens ten times per day, that’s a minute and 40 seconds saved per day,” a productivity expert recently advised in Time magazine, to take just one example. “Over the course of a year, that’s ten hours saved.” If that sounds exhausting, the good news is that there are many reasons to avoid putting ourselves under this kind of non-stop pressure – not least the latest neuroscience on how the brain regulates focus, as we explore in “Take control of your brain’s master switch to optimize (最优化) how you think”. It has to do with a tiny bundle of blue-tinged neurons in the brainstem called the locus coeruleus. According to new research, this structure acts like a gear lever that sets the pace of our brain’s processing. In Gear 1, the mind can wander freely; in Gear 2, we are highly engaged and attentive; and in Gear 3, we are hyperalert and quick to respond to a crisis. What various experiments have now shown is that moderate locus coeruleus activity – Gear 2— is the optimum state for many types of cognitive activity. It increases our concentration, while also allowing for the kind of thinking necessary for problem-solving. Gear 3 may be useful when we are facing an emergency, but it reduces our capacity to think analytically or creatively. Crucially, it turns out that the locus coeruleus can easily be tipped into Gear 3 whenever we are under pressure. If we are constantly pushing ourselves to achieve more and more in a limited amount of time, we may find ourselves stuck in this overwhelming and exhausting brain state, which will only reduce the quality of our output in the long term. With that in mind, it may, in fact, be foolish to insist on driving the engine of thought at ever greater speeds all the time. What is too often overlooked is the need to give your brain plenty of opportunity to return to a lower gear. For high-quality thinking, contrary to much of the productivity advice, downtime may be just as productive as uptime. 8. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The author is critical of the advice given by productivity experts. B. The author is indifferent to the advice given by productivity experts. C. The author agrees with the productivity experts’ approach to time management. D. The author believes that everyone should follow the advice of productivity experts. 9. What does the underlined phrase “locus coeruleus” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A part of the brain that controls sleep patterns. B. A type of cognitive activity that enhances creativity. C. A method of time management used by productivity experts. D. A small group of neurons in the brainstem that regulate focus. 10. Which gear state of the locus coeruleus is best for cognitive activity? A. Gear 1, where the mind can wander freely. B. Gear 2, where we are highly engaged and attentive. C. Gear 3, where we are hyperalert and quick to respond. D. Any gear state, as they are equally beneficial for cognitive activity. 11. What can be inferred about the author’s view? A. Constant productivity is the key to success. B. Downtime is a waste of time and should be minimized. C. Downtime is as important as uptime for productivity. D. Downtime is a must for those who are not productive. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了坚持以更高的速度驱动思维引擎可能是愚蠢的，停机时间与正常运行时间对生产力同样重要。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“If that sounds exhausting, the good news is that there are many reasons to avoid putting ourselves under this kind of non-stop pressure — not least the latest neuroscience on how the brain regulates focus, as we explore in “Take control of your brain’s master switch to optimize (最优化) how you think”. (如果这听起来很累，好消息是，有很多原因可以避免让自己处于这种不停的压力之下——尤其是最新的神经科学关于大脑如何调节注意力的研究，正如我们在“控制大脑的主开关以优化你的思考方式”中所探讨的那样)”可知，第二段的主要讲述了作者对生产力专家的建议持批评态度。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It has to do with a tiny bundle of blue-tinged neurons in the brainstem called the locus coeruleus. According to new research, this structure acts like a gear lever that sets the pace of our brain’s processing. In Gear 1, the mind can wander freely; in Gear 2, we are highly engaged and attentive; and in Gear 3, we are hyperalert and quick to respond to a crisis. (这与脑干中一小束蓝色神经元有关，称为locus coeruleus。根据新的研究，这种结构就像一个变速杆，可以设定我们大脑处理的速度。在1挡中，心灵可以自由漫步；在2挡中，我们非常投入和专注；在3挡中，我们高度警觉，对危机反应迅速)”可知，locus coeruleus是脑干中一小束蓝色神经元，可以调节注意力。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“What various experiments have now shown is that moderate locus coeruleus activity – Gear 2— is the optimum state for many types of cognitive activity. It increases our concentration, while also allowing for the kind of thinking necessary for problem-solving. (现在各种实验表明，适度的蓝斑活动——2挡——是许多类型认知活动的最佳状态。它增加了我们的注意力，同时也允许我们进行解决问题所需的思考)”可知，2挡状态对认知活动最好，因为那个状态让我们高度投入和专注。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What is too often overlooked is the need to give your brain plenty of opportunity to return to a lower gear. For high-quality thinking, contrary to much of the productivity advice, downtime may be just as productive as uptime. (经常被忽视的是，需要给你的大脑足够的机会回到较低的档位。对于高质量的思考，与大多数生产力建议相反，停机时间可能和正常运行时间一样富有成效)”可推知，作者认为停机时间与正常运行时间对生产力同样重要。故选C。 D Your favorite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it. In southwest Spain, black Iberian pigs forage (觅食) under centuries-old oak trees, a process essential for the unique taste of the Jamon Iberico, a special cured ham (腌制火腿) made from the black-footed pig. However, according to National Geographic, frequent heat waves and a five-year drought have reduced the number of the trees’ acorns (橡子) as well as the grass around them. Without these natural food sources, the pigs require extra feed, which changes the ham’s unique flavor. It takes 30 years for oak trees to grow acorns, and alternative feeds like olives would make the meat taste bitter and spicy. Drought also affects the taste of fruits. Watermelons and cantaloupes (香瓜), for instance, display noticeable flavor changes during drought conditions. Researchers at the Agrifood Research and Technology Center of Aragon in Spain explained to the Spanish online newspaper Publico that compounds (化合物) such as sugars build up during drought, changing the taste of food, either positively or negatively. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors. Typically, warm days and cool nights enhance the sugar and acid content in fruits, which are essential for optimal (最佳的) flavor. However, global warming makes this less likely. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth, noted National Geographic. Similarly, oysters, which do best in a mix of salt and freshwater, are losing their distinct flavors due to their increasingly salty environment caused by rising sea levels and heightened river salinity (盐度). While the food we consume is deeply influenced by the climate crisis, our food choices also contribute to it. Meat and dairy, especially from cows, significantly impact the climate. Raising livestock (牲畜) accounts for about 14.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions annually, comparable to the emissions from all cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships combined. Compared to plant protein, producing animal protein generally requires more land, energy and water. This may seem like a vicious circle (恶性循环), but it is not impossible to break. The Good Food Institute, a US-based think tank promoting alternative proteins, believes people will choose such options if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Harris, a US farmer, practices regenerative farming by allowing cows to move around freely and reducing chemical use and soil disturbance, which is more environmentally friendly. In addition, buying local, in-season produce is usually best, as out-of-season fruits and vegetables, especially those flown in, have a high carbon footprint. 12. How does climate change affect Jamon Iberico’s taste? A. By transforming the breed of the pigs. B. By changing the pigs’ natural diet. C. By speeding up the aging process of the ham. D. By affecting the curing process of the ham. 13. How does the author illustrate the impact of climate change on fruits? A. By discussing the acid contents in fruits. B. By describing changes in fruit size. C. By mentioning the changes in fruit color. D. By stressing the sugar buildup during drought. 14. What is the primary purpose of the author in the last paragraph? A. To argue for stricter farming regulations. B. To demonstrate the failure to fight climate change. C. To encourage more sustainable farming practices. D. To promote the consumption of imported fruits. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Flavors of Climate Change B. The Future of Food Production C. The Impact of Drought on Agriculture D. Climate Change and Food Security 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍气候变化对食物的味道的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Without these natural food sources, the pigs require extra feed, which changes the ham’s unique flavor. (没有这些天然食物来源，猪需要额外的饲料，这改变了火腿的独特风味。)”可知，气候变化改变了猪的自然饮食，结果影响了腌制火腿的口味。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“compounds(化合物) such as sugars build up during drought, changing the taste of food, either positively or negatively. (糖等化合物在干旱期间会积聚，对食物味道产生积极或消极的影响。)”可知，作者通过强调干旱期间糖分的积累来说明气候变化对水果的影响。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Harris, a US farmer, practices regenerative farming by allowing cows to move around freely and reducing chemical use and soil disturbance, which is more environmentally friendly. In addition, buying local, in-season produce is usually best, as out-of-season fruits and vegetables, especially those flown in, have a high carbon footprint. (与此同时，越来越多的人开始采取行动。据《纽约时报》报道，美国农民威尔·哈里斯通过允许奶牛自由活动、减少化学品使用和土壤扰动来进行再生农业，这对环境更友好。此外，购买当地当季农产品通常是最好的，因为当季水果和蔬菜，尤其是那些空运进来的，具有很高的碳足迹。)”可知，作者在这一段鼓励更加可持续发展的农业耕作方式。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Your favorite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it.( 你最喜欢的食物在未来可能不会有同样的味道，气候危机是它背后的原因。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述气候变化对食物的味道的影响。D“气候变化与粮食安全”符合主题，故选D。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11, showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports.
