Her voyage began at 14, volunteering at a food shelter. While packing boxes with canned goods for needy families, Lauren detected a substantial shortage: fresh vegetables. This observation sparked an idea that soon grew into a community-wide initiative. Lauren pictured transforming part of her family’s 150-acre farm into a garden committed to growing produce for local families. Her proposal was met with a hint of concern from her mother, Katie Schroeder. While supportive, she also foresaw the extensive labor involved. Despite the agricultural background — her family typically planted soybeans and corn — vegetable cultivation was a novel pursuit. Nevertheless, Lauren was eager to tackle the nutritional deficiency she had uncovered. The hard work began in earnest. Not discouraged by potential obstacles, Lauren dived into research to be a seasoned vegetable cultivator and secured a grant (拨款) from the National FFA Organization to cover initial costs. Subsequently, she spent two to three hours daily watering her crops by hand through the hot Iowa summers, sandwiching this commitment between softball practices. Furthermore, she carefully tended to her garden, combating weeds and harvesting crops, with green beans proving particularly challenging. Eventually, with assistance from her younger brothers and sisters, Lauren’s half-acre garden produced 15 varieties of vegetables. In its first year, the garden generated 40 pounds of produce, benefiting food banks, nursing homes, and soup kitchens. Motivated by the early achievements, Lauren doubled the garden’s size. To date, she has donated over 7,000 pounds of produce, valued at approximately $15,000, commanding community respect. Her work has found a deep echo among others, notably a mother from a local shelter who was grateful for the fresh food that reminded her children of home. Lauren’s inspiration is straightforward yet deep-seated. “I wanted to have something that would impact people,” she told KWQC. Her actions demonstrate her belief in the power of community and the joy obtained from helping others — a feeling that will undoubtedly shape her future initiatives. 4. Why did Lauren initiate the community garden? A. To pursue a new hobby. B. To explore plant cultivation. C. To fill a food shelter’s vegetable gap. D. To gain recognition in her community. 5. How did Lauren overcome her lack of experience in vegetable farming? A. By doing trial and error. B. By conducting thorough research. C. By engaging in fundraising activities. D. By maintaining consistent hard work 6. What do we know about Lauren in the initial process of vegetable cultivation? A. She was passionate and determined. B. She was inexperienced but creative. C. She was observant and popular. D. She was concerned but hardworking. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Garden to Table: a Solo Effort B. Local Garden: Hope for the Globe C. Harvesting Hope: Community Growth D. Farming Fundamentals: a Teen’s Journey C Each year the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 8. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity. C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures. C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties. 10. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. B. They are better than naturally grown plants. C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 11. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. D Over the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference. 13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A. It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs. C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance. 14 What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable. C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D. Inventiveness starts from childhood. 15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal. C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle. 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。 Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others, you’re continuously giving and receiving non-verbal (非言语的) signals. There has been considerable research on how non-verbal clues, particularly those coming from-the eyes, affect our behavior. ___16___. We are programmed to respond to eyes. ___17___ Human babies are fascinated by eyes, preferring to attend to them over almost anything else, and eye contact is a vital part of the bonding process between mothers and babies. ___18___ Psychologist Paul Ekman has distinguished between smiles that represent genuine happiness and false smiles that might be used to show unreal happiness, or cover some other emotions. The key to telling a false smile from a real one is in the eyes. When forming real smiles, the eyes narrow and create lines, or “crow’s feet”, at the outer corners. Gaze (凝视) is a powerful social signal. Mutual gaze can be disturbing because it signals that the individual looking at us intends to engage in some sort of behavior that involves us. The intended behavior may be welcome and exciting or unwelcome and terrifying. ___19___ In situations where we simply cannot understand what the other person intends, we’ll fall into discomfort and get scared. Eye contact is an effective sign of deception (欺骗), but not in the way that you think. Everyone assumes that a liar won’t look you in the eye, but research on the non-verbal clues associated with deception suggests that a liar engages in more eye contact than a truth-teller. ___20___ Hence, they’ll overdo the eye contact in order to appear truthful. A. Here are some interesting results. B. The eyes will tell you if a smile is real or not. C. Research shows that humans have a born ability to do so. D. Here is advice on how to use body language to your advantage. E. It’s important to understand how to improve non-verbal communication skills. F. In either case, the other person’s gaze energizes us to make the appropriate response. G The explanation is that the deceiver goes the extra mile to try to convince you of his or her honesty. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Kevin, Joe and Joe’s dog Minnie were to Florida aboard a sailboat.

Her voyage began at 14, volunteering at a food shelter. While packing boxes with canned goods for needy families, Lauren detected a substantial shortage: fresh vegetables. This observation sparked an idea that soon grew into a community-wide initiative. Lauren pictured transforming part of her family’s 150-acre farm into a garden committed to growing produce for local families. Her proposal was met with a hint of concern from her mother, Katie Schroeder. While supportive, she also foresaw the extensive labor involved. Despite the agricultural background — her family typically planted soybeans and corn — vegetable cultivation was a novel pursuit. Nevertheless, Lauren was eager to tackle the nutritional deficiency she had uncovered. The hard work began in earnest. Not discouraged by potential obstacles, Lauren dived into research to be a seasoned vegetable cultivator and secured a grant (拨款) from the National FFA Organization to cover initial costs. Subsequently, she spent two to three hours daily watering her crops by hand through the hot Iowa summers, sandwiching this commitment between softball practices. Furthermore, she carefully tended to her garden, combating weeds and harvesting crops, with green beans proving particularly challenging. Eventually, with assistance from her younger brothers and sisters, Lauren’s half-acre garden produced 15 varieties of vegetables. In its first year, the garden generated 40 pounds of produce, benefiting food banks, nursing homes, and soup kitchens. Motivated by the early achievements, Lauren doubled the garden’s size. To date, she has donated over 7,000 pounds of produce, valued at approximately $15,000, commanding community respect. Her work has found a deep echo among others, notably a mother from a local shelter who was grateful for the fresh food that reminded her children of home. Lauren’s inspiration is straightforward yet deep-seated. “I wanted to have something that would impact people,” she told KWQC. Her actions demonstrate her belief in the power of community and the joy obtained from helping others — a feeling that will undoubtedly shape her future initiatives. 4. Why did Lauren initiate the community garden? A. To pursue a new hobby. B. To explore plant cultivation. C. To fill a food shelter’s vegetable gap. D. To gain recognition in her community. 5. How did Lauren overcome her lack of experience in vegetable farming? A. By doing trial and error. B. By conducting thorough research. C. By engaging in fundraising activities. D. By maintaining consistent hard work 6. What do we know about Lauren in the initial process of vegetable cultivation? A. She was passionate and determined. B. She was inexperienced but creative. C. She was observant and popular. D. She was concerned but hardworking. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Garden to Table: a Solo Effort B. Local Garden: Hope for the Globe C. Harvesting Hope: Community Growth D. Farming Fundamentals: a Teen’s Journey 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7.

At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (使脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 8. Why do researchers at MIT conduct the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To protect plant diversity. C. To reduce tree losses. D. To predict forest disappearance. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its theoretical basis. B. Its key procedures. C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties. 10. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. The hormone levels affect their rigidity. B. They are better than naturally grown plants. C. Their cells’shapes mainly rely on their density. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 11. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11.

Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences. In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most. There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though. Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children. Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. 12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1? A. Priority. B. Assumption. C. Shift. D. Preference. 13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts? A It tends to be forecastable. B. It mirrors common beliefs. C. It usually leads the times. D. It enjoys instant acceptance. 14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Creative works withstand the test of time. B. Mass-produced items are preferable. C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottles. D. Inventiveness starts from childhood. 15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To clarify a concept. B. To launch an appeal. C. To offer an entertainment. D. To advocate a lifestyle. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了艺术和科学中的创新与创造性，指出这两者常常领先于时代，并能随时间积累价值，倡导大家参与创造性活动。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. (在这些对话之前，我是他们艺术作品的接受者(和欣赏者)，但现在他们对我作为科学家的研究感到好奇。)”可知，作者和这些艺术家之间的身份发生了转变，因此画线词指这种“转变”，与shift意思相近。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. (它意想不到的内容打破了传统思维的常规。它提供了一些不同于常规做法的新东西，经常把人们带出他们的舒适区，因为它超前于时代。)”可知，科学和艺术的创新常常超前于时代，是引领时代的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. (就像陈年的葡萄酒一样，创造性工作的产物会随着时间的推移而获得品质。观众的反应和模仿都为它增添了色彩。)”可知，创造性的作品能够随时间提升其价值。由此可知，它们能经受时间的考验。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process. (艺术和科学的创造力为人类的生存奠定了基础，因为它创造的内容给我们的生活带来了乐趣和意义。人类的创造行为是一个无限求和的游戏，我们所有人都从中受益。我们都可以参与到创造过程中来。)”可知，这一段旨在倡导一种生活方式，即鼓励大家参与到创造性工作中，享受创造带来的乐趣和意义。因此，其目的是发起一项呼吁。故选B项。 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。 Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others, you’re continuously giving and receiving non-verbal (非言语的) signals. There has been considerable research on how non-verbal clues, particularly those coming from-the eyes, affect our behavior. ___16___. We are programmed to respond to eyes. ___17___ Human babies are fascinated by eyes, preferring to attend to them over almost anything else, and eye contact is a vital part of the bonding process between mothers and babies. ___18___ Psychologist Paul Ekman has distinguished between smiles that represent genuine happiness and false smiles that might be used to show unreal happiness, or cover some other emotions. The key to telling a false smile from a real one is in the eyes. When forming real smiles, the eyes narrow and create lines, or “crow’s feet”, at the outer corners. Gaze (凝视) is a powerful social signal. Mutual gaze can be disturbing because it signals that the individual looking at us intends to engage in some sort of behavior that involves us. The intended behavior may be welcome and exciting or unwelcome and terrifying. ___19___ In situations where we simply cannot understand what the other person intends, we’ll fall into discomfort and get scared. Eye contact is an effective sign of deception (欺骗), but not in the way that you think. Everyone assumes that a liar won’t look you in the eye, but research on the non-verbal clues associated with deception suggests that a liar engages in more eye contact than a truth-teller. ___20___ Hence, they’ll overdo the eye contact in order to appear truthful. A. Here are some interesting results. B. The eyes will tell you if a smile is real or not. C. Research shows that humans have a born ability to do so. D. Here is advice on how to use body language to your advantage. E. It’s important to understand how to improve non-verbal communication skills. F. In either case, the other person’s gaze energizes us to make the appropriate response. G. The explanation is that the deceiver goes the extra mile to try to convince you of his or her honesty. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非语言提示，尤其是来自眼睛的提示是如何影响我们的行为的一些研究发现。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“There has been considerable research on how non-verbal clues, particularly those coming from-the eyes, affect our behavior.

(我们被设定为对眼睛做出反应。)”暗示了人类对于眼睛有一种天生的、本能的反应或关注，并根据空后的“Human babies are fascinated by eyes, preferring to attend to them over almost anything else, and eye contact is a vital part of the bonding process between mothers and babies. (人类婴儿对眼睛很着迷，比起其他任何事情，他们更喜欢关注眼睛，而目光接触是母亲和婴儿之间建立联系过程中至关重要的一部分。)”可知，人类婴儿对眼睛的着迷，以及眼神交流在母婴关系中的重要性，空处需要起到承上启下的作用。C选项“研究表明，人类天生就有这种能力。”这里的“do so”指的是上文提到的“respond to eyes”，即对人类眼睛做出反应，选项C与上文形成了很好的衔接，进一步解释了为什么人类会对眼睛做出反应，即因为我们天生就有这样的能力。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据空后的“Psychologist Paul Ekman has distinguished between smiles that represent genuine happiness and false smiles that might be used to show unreal happiness, or cover some other emotions. (心理学家Paul Ekman区分了代表真正快乐的微笑和可能用来表现不真实的快乐或掩盖其他情绪的假笑。)”及本段内容可知，这段描述直接关联到眼睛在判断微笑真实性方面的作用。B选项“眼睛会告诉你微笑是真的还是假的。” 这句话明确指出了眼睛在判断微笑真实性方面的关键作用，与下文的描述紧密相连。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Mutual gaze can be disturbing because it signals that the individual looking at us intends to engage in some sort of behavior that involves us. The intended behavior may be welcome and exciting or unwelcome and terrifying. (相互凝视可能会令人不安，因为它表明，看着我们的那个人打算参与某种涉及我们的行为。预期的行为可能是受欢迎的、令人兴奋的，也可能是不受欢迎的、令人恐惧的。)” 提出了这种行为的两种结果：欢迎、兴奋和不欢迎、令人恐惧。F选项“在任何一种情况下，对方的凝视都能激发我们做出适当的反应。”其中either case指这两种结果。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Everyone assumes that a liar won’t look you in the eye, but research on the non-verbal clues associated with deception suggests that a liar engages in more eye contact than a truth-teller. (每个人都认为说谎者不会看你的眼睛，但对与欺骗有关的非语言提示的研究表明，说谎者比说实话者有更多的目光接触。)”这里提出了一个与普遍认知相反的观点，即说谎者会进行更多的眼神接触，空处需要一个能够解释这一现象的选项。G选项“对此的解释是，骗子会加倍努力，试图让你相信他或她是诚实的。”其中deceiver能与前文呼应，并对前文进行了解释。故选G。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Kevin, Joe and Joe’s dog Minnie were to Florida aboard a sailboat.
