【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:退休后,他每天下午都要在花园里闲逛几个小时,照顾他的花。由Since可知,句子时态用现在完成时,在花园里闲逛的动作可能会继续下去,因此时态用现在完成进行时,表示一个从过去持续到现在,还有可能继续下去的动作,主语he是单数,因此空格处是has been wandering。故选A。

Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. Born on November 23, 1936, Caprio serves as the Chief Judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA.
His trials have been turned into a television program called “Caught in Providence”, which airs on local Fox stations and presents his work.
Caprio’s decisions often reflect a mixture of legal strictness and human warmth. He is known for his merciful judgments and his ability to connect with the people before him. For instance, in one case, a 96-year-old man was brought before Caprio for speeding in a school zone. The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age.
Judge Caprio has been called “the warmest judge” by his admirers because of his way of handling justice. His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world.
Another heartwarming example is that Caprio once canceled a double fine for a truck driver who hadn’t got a notice for a previous fine. After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life.
Caprio’s story is not just about his role as a judge but also about how a single kind act can affect someone’s life. His way of working as a judge shows that justice can be done with sympathy and that sometimes a kind word can change a person’s path for the better.
19. What makes Frank Caprio popular?
A. His appearances in a TV program.
B. His ability to solve complex legal cases.
C. His balance of mercy and justice in trials.
D. His strict legal decisions in the courtroom.
20. Which word can best describe Judge Caprio in dealing with the speeding case?
A. Flexible. B. Stubborn. C. Generous. D. Passionate.
21. What lasting impact did Judge Caprio have on the truck driver?
A. He taught the driver the importance of obeying traffic laws.
B. He inspired the driver to map out his future life path.
C. He eased the driver’s financial burden by canceling the fine.
D. He encouraged the driver to take responsibility for his actions.
22. What is the best title for the text?

【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test.

(这位老人解释说,他当时正开车载着他63岁、患有癌症的儿子去做血液检查。听完老人的讲述后,Caprio表现出同情,并赞扬了老人在高龄时仍对家庭如此奉献的精神)”可知,Caprio没有机械地执行法律,而是根据老人的特殊情况表现出理解和同情。这反映了他对案件的个性化考量,他是灵活的。故选A项。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life.

(Caprio的故事不仅仅关于他作为法官的角色,还关于一个善意的举动如何影响一个人的一生。他作为法官的工作方式表明,正义可以在同情的基础上实现,有时一句温暖的话语就能改变一个人的命运,使其走向更好的方向)”可知,文章主要讲述了Caprio在法庭上如何通过同情和理解来执行法律,展现了他在审判中的人性化一面。因此,D项“法庭上法官的人性”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup?
Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years.
This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated.
Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew.
23. What do we know about perpetual stew?
A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked.
C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions.
24. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2?
A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history.
C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles.
25. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage?
A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition.
C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness.
26. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical.
【答案】23. B 24. A 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“永久炖菜”,即一种持续加热、不断添加新食材的烹饪方式,并列举了其历史、各种形式以及关于其安全性的争议。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. (永久炖菜是一种从未停止加热、也从未完成的菜肴。随着部分被食用,新的食材会被加入锅中以替换被吃掉的部分。一天的炖菜会成为接下来几天餐食的基础)”可知,永久炖菜的特点是持续烹饪。故选B项。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. (今年,Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜在社交媒体上引起了轰动。曼谷一家餐厅声称,他们的牛肉面汤从20世纪70年代就开始持续烹饪。有人认为,永久炖菜是中世纪欧洲的传统,当时生火需要耗费大量精力,因此火会整天燃烧,而一锅炖菜则始终在其上缓慢沸腾。《纽约时报》的一篇文章提到,诺曼底有一锅炖菜持续烹饪了300年)”可知,这里列举了各地的永久炖菜,包括Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜、曼谷一家餐厅的牛肉面汤以及诺曼底持续烹饪300年的炖菜。这些例子展示了永久炖菜丰富多样的形式。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated. (人们还担心,一些蔬菜,如土豆或含有硝酸盐的蔬菜,加热得越久,毒性就越大)”可知,对永久炖菜的一个担忧是毒性增加。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文章中既提到了永久炖菜的历史和各种形式,也讨论了其安全性问题,并未表现出明显的偏好或倾向,而是以客观的(Objective)态度呈现信息。故选C项。
D
Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye.
The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. So, what makes worms so great?
Earthworms move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they expose the soil to the fresh air by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it, which increases the ground’s ability to hold and drain water. They are effectively a small but very efficient farming tool. But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise.
In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in waxworm saliva (唾液). These are plastic-eating enzymes, which can decompose polyethylene, a very common plastic that normally degrades over many years. It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution.
And worms are even inspiring the building industry. Bloodworms are small sea creatures that dig into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete.
So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world!
27. Why does the author raise a question at the beginning?
A. To compare worms with other animals.
B. To discuss the limited use of worms.
C. To emphasize the complexity of worms.
D. To challenge the prejudice against worms.
28. What does the underlined word “degrades” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Breaks down. B. Falls behind. C. Runs out. D. Cleans off.
29. How do bloodworms influence the building industry?
A. They provide a new building material.
B. They are used in construction equipment.
C. Their jaws offer ideas for building design.
D. Their jaws are made from copper material.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The biological evolution of worm.
B. The environmental impact of worms.
C. The various scientific uses of worms.
D. The underestimated importance of worms.
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍蠕虫在土壤改良、塑料分解和建筑材料设计等方面的作用,揭示了它们被低估的重要性,并呼吁人们重新认识这些“默默无闻的英雄”。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. (蠕虫是我们未曾意识到的英雄吗?它们安静、黏滑且扭动,你可能会认为蠕虫除了作为鱼竿上的鱼饵外毫无用处。然而,这种不起眼的蠕虫远比表面看起来更有价值)”可知,文章开头通过提问引发读者思考,随后指出人们对蠕虫的普遍偏见,并进一步揭示蠕虫的重要作用,旨在挑战这种偏见。故选D项。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution. (希望通过大规模生产这些酶,我们能够找到一种更环保的方式来减少塑料污染)”可知,生产这些酶有望减少塑料污染,由此推知,前一句介绍的是这些酶对分解塑料的作用,而这种塑料通常会在多年后才会降解,画线词意为“降解,分解”,与Breaks down“分解”意思一致。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete. (加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的科学家一直在研究它们的下颚,这些下颚由10%的铜蛋白组成,非常坚固,能够支撑蠕虫整个五年的生命周期。基于这项研究,工程师们可能会以下颚为灵感,设计和制造类似混凝土的材料)”可知,血蠕虫的下颚为建筑行业提供了设计灵感。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. (然而,这种不起眼的蠕虫远比表面看起来更有价值)”和最后一段中“They really are changing the world! (它们真的在改变世界)”可知,文章通过介绍蠕虫在土壤改良、塑料分解和建筑材料设计等方面的作用,强调了它们被低估的重要性。故选D项。

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 20-Minute Rule to Accomplish Any Task
Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to delay the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention? ____31____ The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes.
The 20-minute rule is very simple. Next time you dread doing something, set a timer for 20 minutes, and start working on whatever you’ve been putting off. When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in. ____32____ After a few cycles of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can keep working on the task you previously dreaded.
The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all. ____33____
Often, once you set out, it becomes easier to continue, and you may find yourself willing to work beyond the initial 20 minutes.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过采用20分钟规则来克服拖延症,有效启动并完成任务的策略与方法。
【31题详解】
根据上文的“Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to delay the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention?(你是否经常难以按时开始任务,并找借口推迟开始时间?你是否会转而选择做其他事情,而不是专注于那些需要立即处理的任务?)”可知,本文使用两个问题引出要介绍的话题,结合下文的“The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes.(基本的想法是,如果你有一个不想做的任务,告诉自己你只需要做20分钟。)”可知,下文是对此空内容的进一步解释,所以,此空讲述的内容应是引出下文阐述的内容,E选项“Consider the “20-minute rule” to motivate yourself to start.(考虑使用“20分钟规则”来激励自己开始任务。)”中的“20-minute rule”与空后的“The basic idea”内容一致。故选E项。
【32题详解】
根据上文的“The 20-minute rule is very simple.(“20分钟规则”很简单。)”可知,下文讲述的是“20分钟规则”的操作方法,结合空前的“When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in.(当定时器响起时,重置它并休息20分钟,转而专注于另一个任务或者去做你更感兴趣的事情。)”以及下文的“After a few cycles of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can keep working on the task you previously dreaded.(经过几个这样的循环后,你会发现自己的力量增强了,能够继续处理之前害怕的任务。)”可知,此空应是循环步骤中的最后一个环节,F选项“Reset the timer when it goes off and return to your original task.(当定时器响起时,重置它并返回到你的原始任务。)”讲述的内容为“20分钟规则”的操作过程中的最后一个环节,且下文的内容与此空内容衔接,符合语境。故选F项。
【33题详解】
根据空格位于段尾可知,此处是对上文内容的进一步阐述,结合上文的“The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all.(“20分钟规”旨在帮助你开始培养与任务相关的新情绪。实际上,这个规则的目的并不是真的要完成工作。)”可知,这项规则不是帮助完成工作,由此可推断,此空进一步讲述这项规则的真正目的是什么,A选项“It’s meant to help you get started.(它的目的是帮助你开始。)”可知,“20分钟规”则的主要目的是帮助你开始工作,而非完成整个任务,符合语境。故选A项。
【34题详解】
根据上文“If you used the 20-minute rule to start studying for your test, after a few rotations (轮换) of the timer you would discover the task isn’t as painful as you thought. You may even start to enjoy it!(如果你使用20分钟规则开始为考试复习,经过几次定时器的轮换后,你会发现这个任务并不像你想象的那么痛苦。你甚至可能开始享受它!)”可知,“20分钟规”起作用后,你会发现这个任务并不像你想象的那么痛苦,甚至会享受它,结合下文的“Try the 15-minute rule, the 10-minute rule, or the 5-minute rule. I’ve even used the 30-second rule. That’s right, 30 seconds.(尝试15分钟规则、10分钟规则或5分钟规则。我甚至使用过30秒规则。没错,就是30秒。)”可知,此处作者建议尝试其它的时间规则,由此可推断,此空应与空前内容为转折关系,从而引出下文,B选项“But if the twenty-minute rule fails for you?(但是如果“20分钟规”对你不起作用呢?)”与空前的内容为转折关系,且引出下文的其它时间规则,符合语境。故选B项。
【35题详解】
根据上文的“The reasons behind delay are primarily fear and the anticipation of pain.(拖延背后的原因主要是恐惧和对痛苦的预期。)”以及下文的“Just set a timer, and get started.(只需设置一个定时器,然后开始行动。)”可知,克服拖延的原因主要是恐惧和对痛苦的预期,并建议设定一个定时器然后开始工作,C选项“Whatever you fear, you don’t have to do it all at once.(无论你害怕什么,你都不必一次性完成所有。)”中的fear与上文的fear为词汇重现,且进一步对上文内容进行解释,从而引出下文的建议,符合语境。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国航天事业的发展历程和重要成就,展示了其在国际航天领域的地位与未来规划。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国的航天雄心可以追溯到1957年,当时苏联发射了世界上第一颗卫星——斯普特尼克。此处为限定性定语从句,先行词是1957,指时间,关系词在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when。故填when。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意:毛泽东决定中国也应该在苏联技术和顶尖科学家如钱学森的帮助下发射自己的卫星。空后为名词,所以此处为表示“它的”的形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【63题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:中国的第一颗卫星东方红一号于1970年发射,使用的是由东风弹道导弹改装的长征火箭。此处为谓语动词,根据句意以及时间状语in 1970可知,此处使用一般过去时,launch意为“发射”与主语China’s first satellite Dongfanghong-1之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填was launched。
64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:1992年,中国开始了项目921,这是一个载人航天计划。program意为“项目,计划”为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处为泛指“一个载人航天计划”,且manned以辅音音素开头,所以此处使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:利用这一时期购买的俄罗斯航天技术,国家航天计划取得了显著的进步。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰technology,purchase意为“购买”与所修饰词之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填purchased。
【66题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。此处为名词作宾语,improve的名词为improvement意为“改进,改善”符合句意,且空前有不定冠词a,所以此处使用单数形式。故填improvement。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:神舟五号飞船将中国首位宇航员杨利伟送入太空,使中国成为第三个拥有独立载人航天能力的国家。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词country,当被修饰语前有序数词时,应使用动词不定式形式作定语。故填to have。
【68题详解】
考查介词。句意:北京在航天器制造研发上的支出从2000年的2260万美元飙升至2014年的4.334亿美元。此处为固定搭配spend… on...,表示在某方面的花费。故填on。
【69题详解】

【70题详解】
考查副词。句意:它清晰地定义了载人登月任务、木星等行星的空间探测计划,并建立了模拟基地。此处为副词形式修饰动词defined,clear的副词为clearly意为“清晰地”符合句意。故填clearly。
第四部分 写作(满分25分)
71. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A year ago, Mary Smith bought a computer for the whole family, never thinking that it would lead to her sixteen-year-old son Tom becoming addicted to playing games.
Tom was playing computer games for increasing amounts of time, and gradually, he hardly left his seat. Mary tried to limit his game time, but this only seemed to fuel his addiction further and cause more arguments. Among his games, there was one he especially liked: Minecraft. In it, he would design his own virtual world as he wanted it to be.
Although desperate, Mary never gave up on finding a way to help the boy struggling with this gaming addiction. She decided to take Tom to visit his grandfather, who owned a big farm. Every day, his grandfather walked through rows of crops, examining the plants for pests or disease. He found great satisfaction in caring for the land and animals. For him, the farm was not just a place of work but a way of life. Tom was unwilling to leave his game, but he knew it was not a good idea to go against his mother this time.
When they arrived at the airport in the late afternoon, Grandfather drove them to his farm. They were all packed in the car, with adults chatting and laughing, but Tom felt lonely. Looking out of the window, he was attracted by the amazing scenery. The water was blue and sunlight glittered on its clear surface and the grassland flowed like a sea of green. He couldn’t help thinking of the world he would have designed in his computer game.
After settling down, Tom shut himself in his room. Except for dinner, he refused to come out of his room and remained there all day. Sometimes, he stood by the window, staring at the peaceful garden his grandfather had made.
One night, drops of water from the ceiling dripped onto his face, making him wake up. Shocked at what he saw, he realized a big rainstorm had just ended. He stood with his nose pressed against the glass, watching his family struggling to clear the mess in the dim light.
注意:
1. 词数150左右;

【答案】参考1:
Thinking of the efforts his grandfather had made, Tom knew what he must do immediately. He flung open the door and rushed outside without a second thought. Picking up a broom, he began to sweep away the fallen leaves and the broken branches, his eyes fixed on the ground. His face was full of determination and sweat started to stream down his cheeks despite the coldness in the dark. His family looked at him in surprise and then smiled with relief. Tom worked hard, feeling a sense of purpose he hadn’t experienced in a long time. As they continued working bit by bit, the garden started to take on a new look.
He was appreciating the renewed garden when his Mom came over. She gently put her hand on his shoulder and said, “I’m so proud of you, Tom.” Tom lowered his head slightly, his cheeks flushing with shame. “Mom, I’m really sorry for always being so obsessed with games. I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on until now.” His mom’s eyes softened, and she pulled him into a warm hug. “It’s okay, honey. I’m just glad you’re here with us now.” Tom smiled, realizing that the real world held joys far greater than any virtual one in games. From then on, he spent more time with family and less time glued to the computer screen.
参考2:
Thinking of the efforts his grandfather had made, Tom knew what he must do immediately. Swiftly, he opened the bedroom door, rushed through the living room and hurried to the garden. “Grandfather, Mom, what can I do? Let me do something to help!” So surprised and pleased was Mom that she stood still, her eyes opened wide but a smile appearing on her face. Soon, Tom was asked to tidy the garden with a broom while grandpa was busy mending the roof. For the whole day, they hammered, sewed and mended, chatting cheerfully. It was not until sunset that they completed the clearing job. Tom stood in the center of the garden, took a deep breath and enjoyed the brand-new garden.
He was appreciating the renewed garden when his Mom came over. “Are you ok?” Mom asked, wearing a big smile on her face. Tom didn’t give an immediate response. Instead, he pointed to the newly fixed window, the just swept floor and the freshly mended roof, telling mom thoughtfully, “I found something different.” he explained he was aware that it was much easier to set up a virtual world in the game Minecraft. However, it was not that easy to build a garden in reality, and it was even more difficult to maintain and keep the garden as beautiful as it was because the real world needed responsibility, jointed efforts and more communication. “Maybe I have spent too much time shutting myself indoor with the computer.” Looking at his mom, he blinked his eyes mischievously.

Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. Born on November 23, 1936, Caprio serves as the Chief Judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA.
His trials have been turned into a television program called “Caught in Providence”, which airs on local Fox stations and presents his work.
Caprio’s decisions often reflect a mixture of legal strictness and human warmth. He is known for his merciful judgments and his ability to connect with the people before him. For instance, in one case, a 96-year-old man was brought before Caprio for speeding in a school zone. The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age.
Judge Caprio has been called “the warmest judge” by his admirers because of his way of handling justice. His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world.
Another heartwarming example is that Caprio once canceled a double fine for a truck driver who hadn’t got a notice for a previous fine. After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life.
Caprio’s story is not just about his role as a judge but also about how a single kind act can affect someone’s life. His way of working as a judge shows that justice can be done with sympathy and that sometimes a kind word can change a person’s path for the better.
19. What makes Frank Caprio popular?
A. His appearances in a TV program.
B. His ability to solve complex legal cases.
C. His balance of mercy and justice in trials.
D. His strict legal decisions in the courtroom.
20. Which word can best describe Judge Caprio in dealing with the speeding case?
A. Flexible. B. Stubborn. C. Generous. D. Passionate.
21. What lasting impact did Judge Caprio have on the truck driver?

B. He inspired the driver to map out his future life path.

What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup?
Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years.
This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated.
Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew.
23. What do we know about perpetual stew?
A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked.
C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions.
24. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2?
A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history.
C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles.
25. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage?
A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition.
C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness.
26. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical.
D
Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (鱼饵) on the end of a fishing rod. However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye.
The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. So, what makes worms so great?
Earthworms move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they expose the soil to the fresh air by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it, which increases the ground’s ability to hold and drain water. They are effectively a small but very efficient farming tool. But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise.
In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Center for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in waxworm saliva (唾液). These are plastic-eating enzymes, which can decompose polyethylene, a very common plastic that normally degrades over many years. It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution.
And worms are even inspiring the building industry. Bloodworms are small sea creatures that dig into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete.
So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world!
27 Why does the author raise a question at the beginning?
A. To compare worms with other animals.
B. To discuss the limited use of worms.
C. To emphasize the complexity of worms.
D. To challenge the prejudice against worms.
28. What does the underlined word “degrades” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Breaks down. B. Falls behind. C. Runs out. D. Cleans off.
29. How do bloodworms influence the building industry?
A. They provide a new building material.
B. They are used in construction equipment.
C. Their jaws offer ideas for building design.
D. Their jaws are made from copper material.
30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The biological evolution of worm.
B. The environmental impact of worms.
C The various scientific uses of worms.
D. The underestimated importance of worms.

The 20-Minute Rule to Accomplish Any Task
Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to delay the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention? ____31____ The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes.
The 20-minute rule is very simple. Next time you dread doing something, set a timer for 20 minutes, and start working on whatever you’ve been putting off. When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in. ____32____ After a few cycles of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can keep working on the task you previously dreaded.
The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all. ____33____
Often, once you set out, it becomes easier to continue, and you may find yourself willing to work beyond the initial 20 minutes. If you used the 20-minute rule to start studying for your test, after a few rotations (轮换) of the timer you would discover the task isn’t as painful as you thought. You may even start to enjoy it! ____34____ Try the 15-minute rule, the 10-minute rule, or the 5-minute rule. I’ve even used the 30-second rule. That’s right, 30 seconds.
Start small. Prove to yourself that you will not experience a high level of discomfort from doing the task you set out to do. Begin to rewrite the emotions you anticipate in relation to a certain task.
The reasons behind delay are primarily fear and the anticipation of pain. ____35____ Just set a timer, and get started.
A. It’s meant to help you get started.
B. But if the twenty-minute rule fails for you?
C. Whatever you fear, you don’t have to do it all at once.
D. Face your fears bravely and tackle the entire task in one go.
E. Consider the “20-minute rule” to motivate yourself to start.
F. Reset the timer when it goes off and return to your original task.
G. If the timer goes off and you’re still uninterested, switch tasks permanently.

A year ago, Mary Smith bought a computer for the whole family, never thinking that it would lead to her sixteen-year-old son Tom becoming addicted to playing games.
Tom was playing computer games for increasing amounts of time, and gradually, he hardly left his seat. Mary tried to limit his game time, but this only seemed to fuel his addiction further and cause more arguments. Among his games, there was one he especially liked: Minecraft. In it, he would design his own virtual world as he wanted it to be.
Although desperate, Mary never gave up on finding a way to help the boy struggling with this gaming addiction. She decided to take Tom to visit his grandfather, who owned a big farm. Every day, his grandfather walked through rows of crops, examining the plants for pests or disease. He found great satisfaction in caring for the land and animals. For him, the farm was not just a place of work but a way of life. Tom was unwilling to leave his game, but he knew it was not a good idea to go against his mother this time.
When they arrived at the airport in the late afternoon Grandfather drove them to his farm. They were all packed in the car, with adults chatting and laughing, but Tom felt lonely. Looking out of the window, he was attracted by the amazing scenery. The water was blue and sunlight glittered on its clear surface and the grassland flowed like a sea of green. He couldn’t help thinking of the world he would have designed in his computer game.
After settling down, Tom shut himself in his room. Except for dinner, he refused to come out of his room and remained there all day. Sometimes, he stood by the window, staring at the peaceful garden his grandfather had made.
One night, drops of water from the ceiling dripped onto his face, making him wake up. Shocked at what he saw, he realized a big rainstorm had just ended. He stood with his nose pressed against the glass, watching his family struggling to clear the mess in the dim light.
注意:
1. 词数150左右;

Thinking of the efforts his grandfather had made, Tom knew what he must do immediately.
