If you are traveling this year, choose a place you and your dog can enjoy equally. Crowds When you are planning on celebrating the holidays with a large crowd of family and friends, be aware of how this will affect your dog. Many dogs are not comfortable around large crowds, especially when they are not used to them. Dogs get nervous when they are surrounded by lots of unfamiliar people. In order to keep your dog comfortable during this time of year, make sure your dog has a reliable place to escape to when the crowds become noisy. Foods Many of the delicious foods you eat during the holiday season are simply not good for your dogs. If you want to make sure your dog gets to have as many tasty treats as you do during the holiday season, prepare some of your dog’s favorite doggy treats in advance. Apples and carrots make great dog snacks. Learn what foods are harmful to dogs. Decorations Holiday decorations can also be a problem for dogs. Curious by nature, your dog may be interested in the holiday decorations at its eye level. Your dog may eat these decorations, which can be a major danger. When you decorate your home, make sure your dog can’t touch the decorations, especially tinsel (金属线), which can cause health problems for animals if they eat it. The best holiday you can give your dog is one you spend with it. If you are planning on traveling, take your dog with you. 21. How should you care for your dog in a crowd? A. By getting a safe place for it. B. By always walking it around. C. By providing it with an escape exit. D. By making it surrounded by people. 22. What must be particularly considered in holiday decorations? A. Using flexible and longer tinsel. B. Using only dog- friendly decorations. C. Keeping decorations out of your dog’s reach. D. Hiding decorations in closed boxes and cases. 23. What contributes to your dog’s best holiday? A. Your company. B. Beautiful decorations. C. Enough healthy foods. D. Comfortable environment. B “Not only does our restaurant serve delicious Indian meals,” says Johnson Madamu, “but also creates an India - like atmosphere.” Madamu is co-owner of India Spice House, a restaurant in Woodbury, Minnesota. It’s one of the most popular Indian restaurants in the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area, which is known as the Twin Cities. Madamu explained what drew diners to his restaurant: “When they hear Indian music or look around to find beautiful paintings of the Taj Mahal and other Indian paintings, they’re reminded of India.” At present, there are more than 7,800 Indian restaurants in the United States. Raghavan Iyer, who was born in Mumbai, helped to popularize Indian food in the US. In2001, Iyer published a cookbook. He called it Betty Crocker’s Indian Home Cooking, referring to a brand known for pancakes and other familiar American foods. Iyer, who passed away last year, wanted to make Indian food available to cooks in the US. In 2017, he opened Pizz a Karma. The chain restaurant serves dishes that mix American and Indian cuisine. Mudamu said that Biryani and Butter Chicken are the two most-frequently ordered items in his restaurant. Indian food dates back more than 5,000 years. Spices used vary across the country, and the ingredients are based on the region. “One of the main differences between North Indian and South Indian food is more bread is used in the North, while the South chooses rice and coconut,” said my father, Abhishek Singh. He has lived in both areas of the South Asian country, which is home to more than 1.4 billion people. My mother, Shivangi Singh, grew up in North India. Like many others from that region, she loves street food. “Indian restaurants here give me the feel of India,” she said. “When the menu has Samosa and Chaat, I’m reminded of New Delhi. Samosa is a potato- based snack that is fried, and Chaat is made with chickpeas, boiled potatoes and spices. They are delicious and both bring me back to my happy childhood.” 24. What attracts diners to India Spice House? A. The familiar atmosphere of India. B. The beautiful paintings of landscapes. C. The popular Indian food like pancakes. D. The mix of American and Indian cuisine. 25. What can we learn about Raghavan Iyer? A. He published several cookbooks. B. He made Indian food known globally. C. He was skilled in cooking Indian food. D. He tried to advance Indian food in the US. 26. How does Shivangi Singh like Indian restaurants in the US? A They originate from America. B. They only serve Indian street food. C. They bring past memories to her. D. They have many dishes to choose from. 27. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A study on food. B. A life magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A geographic textbook. C Forests are not just the lungs of the Planet: They have huge potential (潜力) if managed sustainably, to become a major source of welfare, income and renewable products. However, a major change in thinking is needed so that this potential — worth trillions of USD in net benefits globally — is made full use of. In other words, we need to change the way that people think about wood. Wood is renewable, recyclable, climate friendly and incredibly multi - functional. It is one of humanity’s most ancient raw materials. Thanks to innovations in wood - based product development, it even can replace fossil (化石) and mineral- based building materials with heavier carbon footprints. Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that there is now a5 0:50 chance of average global temperature reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels in the next five years. A huge effort is needed to change the way we live, and wood is part of the solution. Wood can play a key role in replacing single - use plastics, from drinking straws to food packaging, as part of the global movement to end plastic pollution. Equally, wood can offer realistic alternatives (替代品) to steel, concrete and textile fibers that are kinder to the Planet. Earlier this year, the XV World Forestry Congress — the world’s largest ever gathering on forests — urged people to make full use of the potential of legal, sustainably produced wood to transform the building industry and provide renewable energy and innovative new materials. In addition, representatives from several countries issued a call to stress efforts to use sustainable wood within the wider range of ongoing work to protect forests and restore degraded land. So what needs to happen to make this a reality? First, communicate the benefits of wood more effectively and improve public understanding of how sustainable forest management works. Secondly, we need to move faster towards economies that replace carbon- intensive materials with wood - based products where possible. As the buildings and construction industry currently emits almost 40 percent of energy- related global greenhouse gas emissions, switching to innovative wood- based building materials instead of concrete and steel could make a major difference to creating a sustainable environment. 28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The future of wood- based products. B. The introduction to a new raw material. C. The significant benefits provided by wood. D. The essential part wood plays in construction industry. 29. What is the current concern highlighted by the WMO? A. The decline in forest coverage. B. The consumption of fossil fuels. C. The warning in plastic pollution. D. The increase in the global temperature. 30. What was the call from the XV World Forestry Congress? A. Restoring degraded forests. B. Advertising the wooden products widely. C. Banning people from using plastic materials. D. Encouraging the use of wood in some fields. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wood Has Many Uses in Everyday Life B. Wood Influences Every Aspect of Building C. Wood Helps Shape a More Sustainable Planet D. Wood Promises to Be More Innovative Material D When stressed out, many of us turn to junk foods like deep-fried food for comfort. But a new research suggests this may be just the opposite. The study found that in animals, a high-fat diet upsets resident gut bacteria (肠道细菌), changes behavior and, through a complex pathway connecting the gut to the brain, influences brain chemicals in ways that add anxiety. “We all know that high-fat foods are not healthy foods, but we tend to think about them strictly in terms of a little weight gain,” said lead author Christopher Lowry. “If we understand that they also impact our brains in a way that can raise anxiety, that makes the risk even higher.” To better fathom what may be driving the fat-anxiety connection, Lowry’s team divided mice into two groups: Half got a standard diet of about 11% fat for nine weeks; the others received a high-fat diet, with 45% fat mostly from animal products. When compared to the control group, the group eating a high-fat diet, not surprisingly, gained weight. But the animals also showed significantly less diversity of gut bacteria. Generally speaking, more bacterial diversity is associated with better health, Lowry explained. The high-fat diet group also showed higher expression of three genes (基因) (tph2, htmla and slc6a4) involved in production and signaling of the brain chemical called serotonin — particularly in a region of the central part of the brain known as the dorsal raphe nucleus cDRD, which is associated with stress and anxiety. While serotonin is often considered as a “feel-good brain chemical”, Lowry notes that certain groups of serotonin neurons (神经元) can, when activated, touch off anxiety-like responses in animals. Especially, heightened expression of tph2 in the cDRD has been associated with mood disorders in humans. “To think that just a high-fat diet could change expression of these genes in the brain is extraordinary” said Lowry. “The high-fat group essentially had a high anxiety state in their brains.” However, Lowry stresses that not all fats are bad, and that healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts and seeds can be good for brains. 32. What does the new research show? A. Brain chemicals cause anxiety. B. High-fat foods bring bad moods. C. Junk foods can make people happy. D. Gut bacteria benefit brain health. 33. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Assign. B. Understand. C. Stimulate. D. Inform. 34. How were the mice eating a high- fat diet by contrast with the control group? A. They looked more anxious. B. They lost much more weight. C. They suffered mood disorders. D. They lacked gut bacteria variety. 35. What’s Lowry’s attitude towards fat? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 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。 Do you have a song that you cannot stop thinking about? You try to stop, but the song just continues in your mind. ____36____ This is a common problem and the problem has an unusual name. It is called an earworm. ____37____ Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms? There are four possible reasons. The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently. ____38____ Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm. Another reason is stress. It can bring past experiences into the mind and often people have strong connections between memories and music. ____39____ Triggers such as sights, sounds or smells are also major causes for earworms. These stimuli can cause an individual to start thinking about a particular song. What can you do when you have an earworm playing over and over in your head? Scientists do not have a cure for earworms. But people who experience earworms often have many suggested solutions. For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down. ____40____ A. Earworms are difficult to research. B. It plays again, and again, and again. C. Almost everyone has experienced an earworm. D. Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm. E. This troubles the brain and it immediately stops singing. F. Then your mind starts singing the main part of a popular song. G. So a particular memory may cause the brain to think of a particular song. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a teenager, I found myself lost in a sea of doubt.

Jack was crazy about sports, with a heart for basketball above all else. He dreamed of one day standing on the court, sweat dripping, heart pounding, in a championship game. When news broke that his school was to compete in an inter- school basketball tournament, Jack’s eyes lit up with excitement. Every day after school, the sun still high in the sky, Jack would make a beeline for the school’s outdoor basketball court and spend hours sharpening his skills. His determination was undeniable(不可否认的), and his friends often joined him, their bond strengthened by shared sweat and laughter. But an unfortunate and unexpected thing occurred. During a routine PE class, Jack, eager to show a new move, accidentally hurt his ankle while jumping for a rebound. Falling to the ground, he felt a sharp pain shooting through his ankle. Jack held his injured leg tightly, tears filled with his eyes. He suffered great pain, and his heart sank as he realized the severity of the injury. The doctor’s words were cruel: rest and no basketball for months. Jack’s dream of taking part in the tournament seemed to disappear like smog in the morning sun. However, Jack’s spirit refused to be defeated. He chose to focus on the positive, realizing that true sportsmanship lay not just in winning but also in supporting those around him. Among his closest friends was Tom, a talented basketball player who had always admired Jack’s devotion and skills. Jack gathered the courage to approach Tom, offering him his blessing and urging him to represent their school in the tournament. “You have what it takes, Tom. You have the skills, the heart, and now, the opportunity. I want you to take it all the way. Go out there and make me proud,” Jack said, his eyes shining with genuine pride and determination. 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。 Tom, initially hesitant, then was inspired by Jack’s words._______________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day of the tournament arrived.___________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 16 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
