B Food vlogger Julia Pacheco undertook an ambitious challenge to see if she could sustain herself on just $10 for an entire week, covering all meals from breakfast to dinner. The aim was not only to test the feasibility (可行性) of such a tight budget but also to explore how it would affect her overall well-being by the end of the week. Julia’s journey began with a strategic shopping trip to Walmart, where she carefully selected key ingredients to maximize both her budget and nutritional intake. This initial phase set the tone for the week, showcasing the importance of planning in budget-friendly eating. Julia’s grocery list included affordable staples (主食) like pasta, brown rice, mixed vegetables, bread, lentils, pinto beans, and some fresh produce such as apples, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. These items were chosen for their versatility (多用途) and nutritional value. The total cost of these groceries perfectly hit the $10 mark, setting the stage for a week of simple yet thoughtful meal planning. This careful selection was crucial as it laid the foundation for her entire week’s living. For the first five days, the mum’s breakfast routine consisted of oatmeal flavoured with apple. This choice was not only cost-effective but also provided a warm, hearty start to her day. On the last two days, Julia switched things up by having boiled eggs on toast, adding variety within budget. These breakfast options demonstrated that even on a tight budget, one could enjoy a wholesome and satisfying start to the day. By cooking large portions and storing them for later, she minimized waste and ensured she always had a meal ready, reducing the desire to snack unnecessarily. This approach also highlighted the importance of planning and preparation when working with a limited budget. Throughout the week, she felt full and content, proving that it’s possible to maintain a healthy diet even on a tight budget. Julia’s experience showed the potential to eat well with limited financial resources. 4. Why did Julia undertake the $10 challenge? A. To promote a new way of living. B. To test the quality of food at Walmart. C. To develop budget-friendly eating habits. D. To see if she could survive on a strict budget. 5. What can we know about the grocery list that Julia chose? A. It was too complicated. B. It fitted her budget and nutrition. C. It was out of a random choice. D. It was full of her favourite staples. 6. How did Julia manage to reduce waste during her challenge? A. By preparing less staples. B. By skipping breakfast. C. By snacking unnecessarily. D. By cooking more food each time. 7. How was Julia’s overall experience during the challenge? A. She ate well and felt satisfied. B. She struggled with her budget. C. She suffered hunger sometimes. D. She found it tough to continue. C It’s the season for friends, family and cheese holiday movies. Whether you’ re a fan of Christmas classics or prefer streamable and made-for-TV specials, there’s always a reason holiday movie s are so popular — even the most predictable. “In fact, this is what keeps us coming back. You would almost be disappointed if they weren’t a little predictable,” says Dr. Pamela Rutledge, a media psychologist. “It’s not like there’s going to be a heart-stopping surprise waiting to catch you off guard.” And while the plot of a city girl meeting a hometown guy is overused, Rutledge says these romantic holiday movies satisfy our inner desire for social connection and provide our brain with the confidence to anticipate something and have that be the case. The holiday season itself can be stressful, making these movies an easy go - to for relaxation during a busy time of year. “These movies can act as ‘cinema therapy,’ when you can relax with your friends,” says Allison Eden, associate professor of communication at Michigan State. “You don’t have to work too hard to enjoy it. They’re just gentle comforting, feel-good movies that can really help, especially during times of stress.” The most stressed you’ll feel during most holiday movies? A silly, low- conflict misunderstanding between love interests that you know will be resolved by the end. “The brain responds to that whole journey with both the dopamine (多巴胺) of reward of having it turn out like you wanted to, but also the oxytocin (催产素) release when you’re talking about feelings of warmth and connection and love. So sort of a win - win,” Rutledge says. If you think you can find the same win - win in other forms of media, it may be harder than you think. People often use social media as a way to escape, for example, but it’s not always the pick- me- up you may be looking for. With social media, you really never know what you’re going to come up against. 8. What contribute most to the popularity of holiday movies? A. Predictable plots. B. Appealing themes. C. Unexpected endings. D. Romantic elements. 9. What does the underlined phrase “cinema therapy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A call for easy work. B. A form of stress relief. C. A chance to enjoy movies. D. A way to develop friendship. 10. Why does Rutledge view holiday movies as sort of a win-win? A. They enhance our brain function. B. They provide a comforting escape. C. They offer emotional satisfaction. D. They assist in resolving low conflicts. 11. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call on people to watch holiday movies. B. To introduce the features of holiday movies. C. To explain why your brain loves holiday movies. D. To compare holiday movies with other forms of media. D Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen. Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure. To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems. To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could. The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field. The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions, which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash. 12. How did the team simplify the calculations? A. By limiting the problems within a large network. B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network. C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network. D. By reducing the number of problems in each network. 13. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions? A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data. C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction. 14. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study? A. It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable. B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover. C It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover. D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa. 15. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions 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。 When is bedtime? ____16____ Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun. For a long time, people assumed that daylight told animals when to go to sleep or wake up. See light, wake. See dark, sleep. Then, in 1729, a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa (含羞草), a plant that folds up its leaves at night. ____17____ From time to time, he peeked inside. To his surprise, the leaves continued to open and close each day as usual, even in total darkness. And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning, noon, or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day. ____18____ Every cell in the body has its own tiny time-clicker. A master timekeeper in the brain keeps all these cell clocks in step. For humans, a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job. ____19____ The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” chemicals to all your cells. You can feel light reset your clock if you fly to a different time zone. For a few days you get sleepy at bedtime back home even if it’s afternoon in your new place. This is called “jet lag”. ____20____ But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are, and you’re back on schedule. So don’t worry if you forget your watch—your clock inside will keep you on sun time. A. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock. B. That’s your body’s internal clock at work. C. If you don’t have a phone or watch, don’t worry. D. To learn more about this, scientists did some research. E. They signal when they see strong daylight or growing darkness. F. He put some of the plants in a cupboard and kept them in constant darkness. G. These timekeepers cause cells to do different things at different times of day. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分55分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My family lived in a small community.

The aim was not only to test the feasibility (可行性) of such a tight budget but also to explore how it would affect her overall well-being by the end of the week. Julia’s journey began with a strategic shopping trip to Walmart, where she carefully selected key ingredients to maximize both her budget and nutritional intake. This initial phase set the tone for the week, showcasing the importance of planning in budget-friendly eating. Julia’s grocery list included affordable staples (主食) like pasta, brown rice, mixed vegetables, bread, lentils, pinto beans, and some fresh produce such as apples, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. These items were chosen for their versatility (多用途) and nutritional value. The total cost of these groceries perfectly hit the $10 mark, setting the stage for a week of simple yet thoughtful meal planning. This careful selection was crucial as it laid the foundation for her entire week’s living. For the first five days, the mum’s breakfast routine consisted of oatmeal flavoured with apple. This choice was not only cost-effective but also provided a warm, hearty start to her day. On the last two days, Julia switched things up by having boiled eggs on toast, adding variety within budget. These breakfast options demonstrated that even on a tight budget, one could enjoy a wholesome and satisfying start to the day. By cooking large portions and storing them for later, she minimized waste and ensured she always had a meal ready, reducing the desire to snack unnecessarily. This approach also highlighted the importance of planning and preparation when working with a limited budget. Throughout the week, she felt full and content, proving that it’s possible to maintain a healthy diet even on a tight budget. Julia’s experience showed the potential to eat well with limited financial resources. 4. Why did Julia undertake the $10 challenge? A. To promote a new way of living. B. To test the quality of food at Walmart. C. To develop budget-friendly eating habits. D. To see if she could survive on a strict budget. 5. What can we know about the grocery list that Julia chose? A. It was too complicated. B. It fitted her budget and nutrition. C. It was out of a random choice. D. It was full of her favourite staples. 6. How did Julia manage to reduce waste during her challenge? A. By preparing less staples. B. By skipping breakfast. C. By snacking unnecessarily. D. By cooking more food each time. 7. How was Julia’s overall experience during the challenge? A. She ate well and felt satisfied. B. She struggled with her budget. C. She suffered hunger sometimes. D. She found it tough to continue. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7.

Whether you’ re a fan of Christmas classics or prefer streamable and made-for-TV specials, there’s always a reason holiday movie s are so popular — even the most predictable. “In fact, this is what keeps us coming back. You would almost be disappointed if they weren’t a little predictable,” says Dr. Pamela Rutledge, a media psychologist. “It’s not like there’s going to be a heart-stopping surprise waiting to catch you off guard.” And while the plot of a city girl meeting a hometown guy is overused, Rutledge says these romantic holiday movies satisfy our inner desire for social connection and provide our brain with the confidence to anticipate something and have that be the case. The holiday season itself can be stressful, making these movies an easy go - to for relaxation during a busy time of year. “These movies can act as ‘cinema therapy,’ when you can relax with your friends,” says Allison Eden, associate professor of communication at Michigan State. “You don’t have to work too hard to enjoy it. They’re just gentle comforting, feel-good movies that can really help, especially during times of stress.” The most stressed you’ll feel during most holiday movies? A silly, low- conflict misunderstanding between love interests that you know will be resolved by the end. “The brain responds to that whole journey with both the dopamine (多巴胺) of reward of having it turn out like you wanted to, but also the oxytocin (催产素) release when you’re talking about feelings of warmth and connection and love. So sort of a win - win,” Rutledge says. If you think you can find the same win - win in other forms of media, it may be harder than you think. People often use social media as a way to escape, for example, but it’s not always the pick- me- up you may be looking for. With social media, you really never know what you’re going to come up against. 8. What contribute most to the popularity of holiday movies? A Predictable plots. B. Appealing themes. C. Unexpected endings. D. Romantic elements. 9. What does the underlined phrase “cinema therapy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A call for easy work. B. A form of stress relief. C. A chance to enjoy movies. D. A way to develop friendship. 10. Why does Rutledge view holiday movies as sort of a win-win? A. They enhance our brain function. B. They provide a comforting escape. C. They offer emotional satisfaction. D. They assist in resolving low conflicts. 11. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call on people to watch holiday movies. B. To introduce the features of holiday movies. C. To explain why your brain loves holiday movies. D. To compare holiday movies with other forms of media. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了人们喜欢假日电影的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““In fact, this is what keeps us coming back. You would almost be disappointed if they weren’t a little predictable,” says Dr. Pamela Rutledge, a media psychologist. “It’s not like there’s going to be a heart-stopping surprise waiting to catch you off guard.”(“事实上，这就是吸引我们回来的原因。媒体心理学家帕梅拉·拉特利奇博士说：“如果他们没有一点可预测性，你几乎会感到失望。不会有什么惊心动魄的惊喜等着你猝不及防。”)”可知，节日电影受欢迎的最大原因是情节可预测。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“when you can relax with your friends(你可以和你的朋友放松)”以及“They’ re just gentle comforting, feel-good movies that can really help, especially during times of stress.(它们只是温和安慰、让人感觉良好的电影，真的很有帮助，尤其是在压力大的时候)”可知，这些电影只是温和安慰、让人感觉良好的电影，尤其是在压力大的时候，可以让你和你的朋友放松，说明它们是一种缓解压力的方式。故划线词指的是“一种缓解压力的方式”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““The brain responds to that whole journey with both the dopamine (多巴胺) of reward of having it turn out like you wanted to, but also the oxytocin (催产素) release when you’ re talking about feelings of warmth and connection and love. So sort of a win- win,” Rutledge says.( Rutledge说：“大脑对整个过程做出反应，既会产生多巴胺，也会在你谈论温暖、联系和爱的感觉时释放催产素。”所以这是一种双赢。”)”可知，Rutledge认为节日电影是一种双赢因为他们提供情感上的满足。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段“It’s the season for friends, family and cheese holiday movies. Whether you’ re a fan of Christmas classics or prefer streamable and made-for-TV specials, there’s always a reason holiday movie s are so popular — even the most predictable.(这是朋友、家人和奶酪假日电影的季节。无论你是圣诞经典的粉丝，还是喜欢流媒体和电视特别节目，节日电影如此受欢迎总是有原因的——即使是最可预测的)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释为什么你的大脑喜欢假日电影。故选C。 D Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen. Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure. To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems. To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could. The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field. The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions, which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash. 12. How did the team simplify the calculations? A. By limiting the problems within a large network. B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network. C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network. D. By reducing the number of problems in each network. 13. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions? A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data. C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction. 14. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study? A. It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable. B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover. C. It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover. D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa. 15. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国计算机科学家如何利用人工智能技术（AI）来预测复杂系统中的临界点（或称为关键转折点），这些临界点对我们的生活有着重大影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system.(为了简化他们的计算，该团队将所有这些问题简化为发生在一个大型网络中相互作用的节点，即一个大系统中的单个元素。)”可知，研究小组通过将问题转化为网络中的问题来简化计算。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points.
