Sometimes it felt like too much to balance all these activities, and I was eager for some quiet time alone. However, a remarkable change occurred when I decided to start waking up at 5:30 am. At first, it was incredibly challenging and made me quite unhappy. I frequently turned off the alarm clock, causing me to miss buses and trains, leading to tardiness at work and subsequent issues. But then, I laid my eyes on a book titled “Morning Miracle”, which motivated me to rise 30 minutes earlier. I adopted a straightforward routine: spending five minutes journaling, sipping water slowly, taking deep breaths to unwind, doing a few push-ups, and glancing at a board displaying my goals. After persevering for 21 days, my job performance improved dramatically. I felt more focused and energetic, and this wasn’t just because I thought it would. The quiet morning helps me focus on my tasks. I learned to do one thing at a time. And this saved me from getting mentally exhausted. I also started my day by thinking about the good things and writing down what I’m grateful for to manage stress. Next, I prioritized (优先处理) my tasks depending on how important they are, ensuring that I addressed the most crucial ones first. I also made sure to take breaks during the day to recharge. I also set aside time for learning and self-improvement, aiming to advance in my career by gaining new skills and knowledge. To maintain this morning routine, I ensured that I was in bed by 10 pm, allowing me to start my day at 5:30 am. This habit used the peaceful mornings to enhance my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. However, I managed to overcome these difficulties. By making these adjustments, I found a newfound balance in my busy life as a university student. 4. What problem did the writer face before changing his wake-up time? A. Lack of sleep. B.

Worried about how it might affect her daughter’s body image, Dare didn’t give in. Now, she hopes Australia’s plan to ban social media for children under 16 will help. Some say this ban is very strict. The Australian government wants to make this ban official this year. Authorities have clarified that social media firms will bear the responsibility, and parents won’t be fined. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, “Social media poses risks to our youth. I’ve talked to many parents on this matter.” However, compared to some other countries, Australia’s approach to tackling this issue is somewhat unique. Worldwide, leaders are trying to control children’s social media use due to concerns over mental wellbeing. For instance, in Florida, there’s a law banning social media for under-14s and needing parents’ agreement for 14-and 15-year-olds. But Australia won’t adopt such measures, allowing platforms like YouTube Kids. Tech giants like Google and TikTok have voiced opposition to the ban. Sunita Bose from the Digital Industry Group remarked, “We don’t stop children from beaches; instead, we teach them to swim safely. Banning teens might push them to dangerous parts of the internet.” Social media companies will follow the governmental guidelines and try to enhance youth protection. However, some say we need more talk about how to do this. Research shows a link between social media and mental health issues like depression, but companies say there’s no direct cause. Certain mental health organizations express concern that the ban will stop the good sides of social media for teens. They believe kids need to learn about it. Moreover, teenagers might still access social media through an older friend’s account, bypassing (避开) the ban. A 19-year-old university student said, “A ban won’t stop people. They might avoid discussing it with adults, leading to more problems.” 8. What effect of social media on her daughter does Dare mainly worry about? A. Her body image. B. Her studies. C. Her mental health. D. Her physical health. 9. What do we know about Australia’s plan to ban social media for children? A. It is the same as other countries. B. It is more strict than other countries. C. It is less strict than some countries. D. It is similar to Florida’s. 10. What does the 19-year-old university student imply about the ban? A. It will be widely supported by teenagers. B. It will have a positive impact on teenagers’ mental health. C. It will completely stop teenagers from using social media. D. It will lead to more problems between teenagers and adults. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Impact of Phones on Teens B. Anthea Dare’s Fight with Her Daughter C. Australia Pushes to Close Social Media to Under-16s D Global Efforts to Control Children’s Social Media Use 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了澳大利亚计划禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体，各方对此计划的态度以及与其他国家相关措施的对比等内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Worried about how it might affect her daughter’s body image, Dare didn't give in(由于担心社交媒体可能会影响女儿的身体形象，Dare没有让步)”可知，Dare主要担心社交媒体对她女儿身体形象的影响。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, compared to some other countries, Australia’s approach to tackling this issue is somewhat unique.(然而，与其他一些国家相比，澳大利亚解决这个问题的方法有些独特)”以及第三段“Worldwide, leaders are trying to control children’s social media use due to concerns over mental wellbeing. For instance, in Florida, there’s a law banning social media for under-14s and needing parents’ agreement for 14-and 15-year-olds. But Australia won’t adopt such measures, allowing platforms like YouTube Kids(全球范围内，各国领导人正试图控制儿童使用社交媒体，因为他们担心这会影响孩子们的心理健康。例如，在佛罗里达州，有一项法律禁止14岁以下的儿童使用社交媒体，而14岁和15岁的孩子则需要得到父母的同意才能使用。但是澳大利亚不会采取这样的措施，允许像YouTube Kids这样的平台存在)”以及第一段“Now, she hopes Australia’s plan to ban social media for children under 16 will help(现在，她希望澳大利亚禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体的计划能有所帮助)”可知，佛罗里达州是禁止14岁以下使用社交媒体，14 - 15岁需要父母同意，而澳大利亚是禁止16岁以下使用，所以澳大利亚的计划比其他一些国家更严格。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A 19 - year - old university student said, “A ban won't stop people. They might avoid discussing it with adults, leading to more problems.”(一名19岁的大学生说：“禁令不会阻止人们（使用社交媒体）。他们可能会避免与成年人讨论这个问题，从而导致更多问题”)”可知，这名19岁大学生暗示这项禁令会导致青少年和成年人之间产生更多问题。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Worried about how it might affect her daughter’s body image, Dare didn't give in(由于担心社交媒体可能会影响女儿的身体形象，Dare没有让步)”、第二段“However, compared to some other countries, Australia’s approach to tackling this issue is somewhat unique.(然而，与其他一些国家相比，澳大利亚解决这个问题的方法有些独特)”、第三段“Worldwide, leaders are trying to control children’s social media use due to concerns over mental wellbeing. For instance, in Florida, there’s a law banning social media for under-14s and needing parents’ agreement for 14-and 15-year-olds. But Australia won’t adopt such measures, allowing platforms like YouTube Kids(全球范围内，各国领导人正试图控制儿童使用社交媒体，因为他们担心这会影响孩子们的心理健康。例如，在佛罗里达州，有一项法律禁止14岁以下的儿童使用社交媒体，而14岁和15岁的孩子则需要得到父母的同意才能使用。但是澳大利亚不会采取这样的措施，允许像YouTube Kids这样的平台存在)”以及最后一段“Certain mental health organizations express concern that the ban will stop the good sides of social media for teens. They believe kids need to learn about it. Moreover, teenagers might still access social media through an older friend’s account, bypassing (避开) the ban. A 19-year-old university student said, “A ban won’t stop people. They might avoid discussing it with adults, leading to more problems.”(一些心理健康机构担心禁令会阻碍青少年从社交媒体中获得益处。他们认为孩子们需要了解（社交媒体）。而且，青少年可能通过年长朋友的账号访问社交媒体，从而避开禁令。一位19岁的大学生说：“禁令阻止不了人们。他们可能避免和成年人讨论（这件事），从而导致更多问题”)”可知，文章主要围绕澳大利亚推动对16岁以下儿童关闭社交媒体这一计划展开，介绍了计划的相关情况、各方态度等内容，所以C项“Australia Pushes to Close Social Media to Under - 16s(澳大利亚推动16岁以下人群远离社交媒体)”表达的含义适合用作本文标题。故选C项。 D Climate change brings rising temperatures, increased sea levels and drought. However, its effects don’t end there — it can also change the taste of food. In Spain, black Iberian pigs, which are crucial for producing the unique Jamon Iberico ham, are facing a food crisis due to heatwaves and droughts. These extreme weather conditions nave reduced the number of acorns and grass available to the pigs, forcing them to consume different feed that changes the ham’s flavor. Drought also affects the taste of fruits. Watermelons and cantaloupes, for example, undergo significant flavor changes during drought conditions. Researchers have found that compounds like sugars accumulate in fruits during droughts, resulting in the changes of tastes, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors. Warm days and cool nights help fruits develop the best flavor by increasing their sugar content and acidity (酸度). However, global warming is changing this. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier because they bloom early and grow in higher temperatures. Oysters, which do best in a mix of salt and freshwater, are losing their unique taste due to saltier environments. While the food we eat is affected by climate change, our food choices also impact the climate. Meat and dairy, especially from cows, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Raising livestock (牲畜) makes up about 14.5 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions, similar to the emissions from all vehicles combined. Producing animal protein uses more resources than plant protein. Fortunately, this vicious (恶性的) cycle can be broken. For example, The Good Food Institute, a US-based think tank, believes people will choose alternative (备选的) proteins if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Additionally, more farmers are practicing “greener” farming, and when people buy local, in-season produce, the impact on the environment is reduced. 12. What has caused the change in the taste of Jamon Iberico ham? A. The use of other meat sources. B. The change in pig-raising methods. C. The lack of natural food for the pigs. D. The introduction of new techniques. 13. According to the text, how does drought influence the flavor of fruits? A. By enhancing their natural taste. B. By increasing their water percentage. C. By lowering their acidity to a certain level. D. By changing their taste positively or negatively. 14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5? A. Agriculture’s role in climate change. B. Climate impact of food choices. C. Comparison of plant and animal proteins. D. Greenhouse gas emissions of raising livestock. 15. What can people do to help break the vicious cycle? A. Consume less food. B. Purchase local produce. C. Choose more animal protein. D. Advocate traditional farming methods. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化对食物味道的影响，以及食物选择对气候的反作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These extreme weather conditions nave reduced the number of acorns and grass available to the pigs, forcing them to consume different feed that changes the ham’s flavor.(这些极端天气条件减少了猪可食用的橡子和草的数量，迫使它们食用不同的饲料，从而改变了火腿的味道)”可知，橡子和草的减少，即猪的自然食物缺乏导致了伊比利亚火腿味道的改变。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Researchers have found that compounds like sugars accumulate in fruits during droughts, resulting in the changes of tastes, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.(研究人员发现，在干旱期间，水果中会积累糖分等化合物，导致味道发生变化，有时更好，有时更糟)”可知，干旱通过改变水果的味道，或好或坏，来影响水果的味道。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“While the food we eat is affected by climate change, our food choices also impact the climate.(虽然我们吃的食物受到气候变化的影响，但我们的食物选择也会影响气候)”以及后文“Meat and dairy, especially from cows, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions (肉类和奶制品，尤其是来自奶牛的，会大大增加温室气体排放)”可知我们的食物选择也会影响气候，肉类和乳制品对温室气体排放有影响，可推理出本段主要讲述了食物选择对气候的影响。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Additionally, more farmers are practicing “greener” farming, and when people buy local, in-season produce, the impact on the environment is reduced.(此外，越来越多的农民正在实践“更绿色”的农业，当人们购买本地、当季的农产品时，对环境的影响就会减少)”可知，人们可以通过购买本地农产品来帮助打破这个恶性循环。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。 The “Dao De Jing”, a key Daoist text, is believed to have been written by Laozi in the 6th century B. C. It starts with the idea that the true meaning of Dao (the way) is beyond words. The book, filled with mysteries and counterintuitive(违反常理的) ideas, is complex and hard to translate. ___16___ Despite this, it is one of the most translated books after the Bible, with numerous English versions. Over time, various scholars and translators have approached the text from different perspectives, leading to multiple interpretations. Recently, three new translations have come out. ___17___ In contrast, translators like poets Li-Young Lee, Yun Wang, and scholar J. H. Huang believe it was written by one person. These translations have very different meanings. Lee and Wang’s version focuses on improving oneself, while Ziporyn’s translation sees the text as supporting strict rule, emphasizing social order. Huang’s version, on the other side, stresses the importance of removing rewards to achieve peace. ___18___ ___19___ Huang’s version is clear and comprehensive, supported by detailed explanations. Lee and Wang’s translation may appeal to those seeking deeper meanings. Ziporyn’s research-based translation encourages exploring multiple meanings. In a word, different translations offer various perspectives on the text’s meaning. ___20___ Thus, it can be understood in many ways depending on the reader’s viewpoint. A. This stresses the flexibility of “Dao De Jing”. B. Each translation has its special charm and value. C. It is a challenging text to translate into English. D. It explores themes like water wearing away rock. E. Professor Ziporyn views it as a collection of ideas. F. These different translations reflect the depth of the text. G. The book’s double meaning and character changes add translation challenges. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了《道德经》是一部难以翻译的道家经典著作，不同的译者从不同的角度对其进行翻译，这些不同的翻译反映了文本的深度，也体现了《道德经》含义的灵活性。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The book, filled with mysteries and counterintuitive(违反常理的) ideas, is complex and hard to translate.(这本书充满了神秘和违反常理的思想，复杂且难以翻译)”可知，上文说的是这本书的翻译难度大，可推理出下文进一步解释说明这本书难翻译的具体原因，G项“The book’s double meaning and character changes add translation challenges(这本书的双重含义和文字变化增加了翻译的难度)”表达的含义符合语境，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“In contrast, translators like poets Li - Young Lee, Yun Wang, and scholar J. H. Huang believe it was written by one person(相反，像诗人李立扬、王云以及学者J. H. 黄等人认为它是由一个人所写)”可知，此处是在对比不同译者的观点，再根据“In contrast(对比之下)”可知，上文表达的内容与之形成对比，E项“Professor Ziporyn views it as a collection of ideas.(齐波林教授将其视为一系列思想的集合)”表达的含义符合语境，故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“These translations have very different meanings. Lee and Wang’s version focuses on improving oneself, while Ziporyn’s translation sees the text as supporting strict rule, emphasizing social order. Huang’s version, on the other side, stresses the importance of removing rewards to achieve peace(这些翻译有非常不同的含义。李和王的版本侧重于自我提升，而齐波林的翻译将文本视为支持严格的规则，强调社会秩序。另一方面，黄的版本强调去除奖励以实现和平的重要性)”可知，上文说的是不同的翻译版本的特点，但尚未对这些特点进行总结，可推理出下文将对这些特点进行总结，F项“These different translations reflect the depth of the text.(这些不同的翻译反映了文本的深度)”表达的含义符合语境，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Huang’s version is clear and comprehensive, supported by detailed explanations. Lee and Wang’s translation may appeal to those seeking deeper meanings. Ziporyn’s research - based translation encourages exploring multiple meanings.(黄的版本清晰全面，有详细的解释支持。李和王的翻译可能会吸引那些寻求更深层次意义的人。齐波林基于研究的翻译鼓励探索多种意义)”可知，下文说的是不同的人的翻译的特点，可推理出空白处应对这些不同的特点进行概括，B项“Each translation has its special charm and value.(每个翻译都有其独特的魅力和价值)”表达的含义符合语境，故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In a word, different translations offer various perspectives on the text’s meaning.(总之，不同的翻译对文本的意义提供了不同的视角)”以及下文“Thus, it can be understood in many ways depending on the reader’s viewpoint(因此，根据读者的观点，它可以有多种理解方式)”可知，空白处应承上启下，既总结上文不同翻译提供不同视角，又引出下文根据读者观点有多种理解方式，A项“This stresses the flexibility of “Dao De Jing”.(这强调了《道德经》的灵活性)”表达的含义符合语境，故选A项。 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。 In a school classroom, one student playfully pasted a paper on his classmate’s back that read “I’m an Idiot”.

Smith. She selected a remarkable book titled “The Kingdom of the Snow Leopard” for us to read. She noticed my interest in literature and gently encouraged me to present on the characters within the novel to my classmates. That experience left a lasting impression on me. Preparing for the English presentation was thrilling yet nerve-wracking (很伤脑筋的), especially since English wasn’t my native language, making the task more challenging. Deeply aware of the need to excel, I knew I had to invest considerable effort and dedication to ensure my performance would be nothing short of outstanding. I immersed myself in the book, reading it from cover to cover, carefully underlining significant passages that revealed crucial insights into the characters’ minds and actions. And I also took notes on each character’s traits and motivations. To further enrich my understandings, I even researched materials online for interviews with the author and insightful reviews that analyzed the characters in depth. I carefully structured my presentation, breaking down each character’s journey and the impact they had on the story. I practiced my speech in front of a mirror countless times, adjusting my tone, pace, and body language. Each repetition helped me smooth out any rough spots and made my delivery more natural. As the day of my presentation approached, a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbled inside me. My heart pounded faster, and my palms got sweaty just thinking about standing in front of everyone. 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。 The moment I stepped up to the platform, I felt scared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, despite my initial nervousness, my presentation was a success. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version The moment I stepped up to the platform, I felt scared. My legs trembled slightly, and my throat felt dry. With the eyes of my classmates and Miss. Smith fixed on me, every beat of my heart echoed loudly in my ears. Swallowing hard to ease my tension, I began my presentation, my voice wavering at first but gradually gaining confidence as I went deeper into the analysis of the characters. My nervousness slowly melted away, replaced by a growing sense of accomplishment as I saw the engagement and understanding dawn on my audience’s faces. In the end, despite my initial nervousness, my presentation was a success. The room erupted in applause, with smiles and nods of approval from my classmates reflecting their appreciation. Miss. Smith’s eyes sparkled with pride as she praised me for my thorough preparation and engaging delivery. My heart swelled with pride, realizing that all the hours spent carefully reading the book, planning, and practicing had been worth it. The experience not only boosted my confidence in public speaking but also deepened my love for literature. It taught me that with perseverance, dedication, and a passion for the subject, one can overcome any challenge, transforming fear into a stepping stone for growth and success. 【解析】 【导语】本文以个人成长经历为线索展开，讲述了作者在英语课上准备并完成一次小说人物分析演讲的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我走上讲台的那一刻，我感到害怕。”可知，第一段可描写作者在演讲开始时的紧张情绪以及如何逐渐克服紧张的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，尽管一开始很紧张，我的演讲还是成功了。”可知，第二段可描写作者演讲结束后的感受和收获。 2.续写线索：走上讲台——感到紧张——开始演讲——逐渐自信——演讲成功——获得赞扬——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①感到害怕：feel scared / feel terrified ②克服紧张：overcome nervousness / conquer anxiety ③准备充分：be well-prepared / be thoroughly arranged 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous / anxious ②自信：confident / self-assured 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B As a university student, my days have been filled with various activities, including a new job, a research position, university courses, gym sessions, and guitar practice. Sometimes it felt like too much to balance all these activities, and I was eager for some quiet time alone. However, a remarkable change occurred when I decided to start waking up at 5:30 am. At first, it was incredibly challenging and made me quite unhappy. I frequently turned off the alarm clock, causing me to miss buses and trains, leading to tardiness at work and subsequent issues. But then, I laid my eyes on a book titled “Morning Miracle”, which motivated me to rise 30 minutes earlier. I adopted a straightforward routine: spending five minutes journaling, sipping water slowly, taking deep breaths to unwind, doing a few push-ups, and glancing at a board displaying my goals. After persevering for 21 days, my job performance improved dramatically. I felt more focused and energetic, and this wasn’t just because I thought it would. The quiet morning helps me focus on my tasks. I learned to do one thing at a time. And this saved me from getting mentally exhausted. I also started my day by thinking about the good things and writing down what I’m grateful for to manage stress. Next, I prioritized (优先处理) my tasks depending on how important they are, ensuring that I addressed the most crucial ones first. I also made sure to take breaks during the day to recharge. I also set aside time for learning and self-improvement, aiming to advance in my career by gaining new skills and knowledge. To maintain this morning routine, I ensured that I was in bed by 10 pm, allowing me to start my day at 5:30 am. This habit used the peaceful mornings to enhance my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. However, I managed to overcome these difficulties. By making these adjustments, I found a newfound balance in my busy life as a university student. 4. What problem did the writer face before changing his wake-up time? A. Lack of sleep. B.

To describe the writer’s busy life as a university student. C After Anthea Dare’s daughter entered seventh grade, she wanted a phone to use social media like her friends. Worried about how it might affect her daughter’s body image, Dare didn’t give in. Now, she hopes Australia’s plan to ban social media for children under 16 will help. Some say this ban is very strict. The Australian government wants to make this ban official this year. Authorities have clarified that social media firms will bear the responsibility, and parents won’t be fined. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, “Social media poses risks to our youth. I’ve talked to many parents on this matter.” However, compared to some other countries, Australia’s approach to tackling this issue is somewhat unique. Worldwide, leaders are trying to control children’s social media use due to concerns over mental wellbeing. For instance, in Florida, there’s a law banning social media for under-14s and needing parents’ agreement for 14-and 15-year-olds. But Australia won’t adopt such measures, allowing platforms like YouTube Kids. Tech giants like Google and TikTok have voiced opposition to the ban. Sunita Bose from the Digital Industry Group remarked, “We don’t stop children from beaches; instead, we teach them to swim safely. Banning teens might push them to dangerous parts of the internet.” Social media companies will follow the governmental guidelines and try to enhance youth protection. However, some say we need more talk about how to do this. Research shows a link between social media and mental health issues like depression, but companies say there’s no direct cause. Certain mental health organizations express concern that the ban will stop the good sides of social media for teens. They believe kids need to learn about it. Moreover, teenagers might still access social media through an older friend’s account, bypassing (避开) the ban. A 19-year-old university student said, “A ban won’t stop people. They might avoid discussing it with adults, leading to more problems.” 8. What effect of social media on her daughter does Dare mainly worry about? A. Her body image. B. Her studies. C. Her mental health. D. Her physical health. 9. What do we know about Australia’s plan to ban social media for children? A. It is the same as other countries. B. It is more strict than other countries. C. It is less strict than some countries. D. It is similar to Florida’s. 10. What does the 19-year-old university student imply about the ban? A. It will be widely supported by teenagers. B. It will have a positive impact on teenagers’ mental health. C. It will completely stop teenagers from using social media. D. It will lead to more problems between teenagers and adults. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Impact of Phones on Teens B. Anthea Dare’s Fight with Her Daughter C. Australia Pushes to Close Social Media to Under-16s D. Global Efforts to Control Children’s Social Media Use D Climate change brings rising temperatures, increased sea levels and drought. However, its effects don’t end there — it can also change the taste of food. In Spain, black Iberian pigs, which are crucial for producing the unique Jamon Iberico ham, are facing a food crisis due to heatwaves and droughts. These extreme weather conditions nave reduced the number of acorns and grass available to the pigs, forcing them to consume different feed that changes the ham’s flavor. Drought also affects the taste of fruits. Watermelons and cantaloupes, for example, undergo significant flavor changes during drought conditions. Researchers have found that compounds like sugars accumulate in fruits during droughts, resulting in the changes of tastes, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavors. Warm days and cool nights help fruits develop the best flavor by increasing their sugar content and acidity (酸度). However, global warming is changing this. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier because they bloom early and grow in higher temperatures. Oysters, which do best in a mix of salt and freshwater, are losing their unique taste due to saltier environments. While the food we eat is affected by climate change, our food choices also impact the climate. Meat and dairy, especially from cows, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Raising livestock (牲畜) makes up about 14.5 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions, similar to the emissions from all vehicles combined. Producing animal protein uses more resources than plant protein. Fortunately, this vicious (恶性的) cycle can be broken. For example, The Good Food Institute, a US-based think tank, believes people will choose alternative (备选的) proteins if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Additionally, more farmers are practicing “greener” farming, and when people buy local, in-season produce, the impact on the environment is reduced. 12. What has caused the change in the taste of Jamon Iberico ham? A. The use of other meat sources. B. The change in pig-raising methods. C. The lack of natural food for the pigs. D. The introduction of new techniques. 13. According to the text, how does drought influence the flavor of fruits? A. By enhancing their natural taste. B. By increasing their water percentage. C. By lowering their acidity to a certain level. D. By changing their taste positively or negatively. 14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5? A. Agriculture’s role in climate change. B. Climate impact of food choices. C. Comparison of plant and animal proteins. D. Greenhouse gas emissions of raising livestock. 15. What can people do to help break the vicious cycle? A. Consume less food. B. Purchase local produce. C. Choose more animal protein. D. Advocate traditional farming methods. 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 “Dao De Jing”, a key Daoist text, is believed to have been written by Laozi in the 6th century B.

Smith. She selected a remarkable book titled “The Kingdom of the Snow Leopard” for us to read. She noticed my interest in literature and gently encouraged me to present on the characters within the novel to my classmates. That experience left a lasting impression on me. Preparing for the English presentation was thrilling yet nerve-wracking (很伤脑筋的), especially since English wasn’t my native language, making the task more challenging. Deeply aware of the need to excel, I knew I had to invest considerable effort and dedication to ensure my performance would be nothing short of outstanding. I immersed myself in the book, reading it from cover to cover, carefully underlining significant passages that revealed crucial insights into the characters’ minds and actions. And I also took notes on each character’s traits and motivations. To further enrich my understandings, I even researched materials online for interviews with the author and insightful reviews that analyzed the characters in depth. I carefully structured my presentation, breaking down each character’s journey and the impact they had on the story. I practiced my speech in front of a mirror countless times, adjusting my tone, pace, and body language. Each repetition helped me smooth out any rough spots and made my delivery more natural. As the day of my presentation approached, a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbled inside me. My heart pounded faster, and my palms got sweaty just thinking about standing in front of everyone. 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。 The moment I stepped up to the platform, I felt scared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, despite my initial nervousness, my presentation was a success. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABACC 6—10 BACBB 11—15 ABABA 16—20 BBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
