When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats.
5. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes.
7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly. B. Complex.
C. Workable. D. Contradictory.
C
We all know cacti (仙人掌) store water — but to survive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, and so much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future.
One of the most exciting advancements involves Copiapoa, a genus of cacti with at least 32 species found in the coastal Atacama Desert, the driest nonpolar desert on Earth. These cacti, typically five to six inches wide, can form gray-green bushes that spread out over an area otherwise empty of vegetation.
Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-colleting process might be reproduced in metal structures.
Specifically, Malik took a close look at the one-and-a-quarter-inch spines of Copiapoas and found that their surface has a series of tiny channels that broaden at the base. “This creates a surface roughness that enables dewdrops to move along them even against gravity,” she says.
Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. After several years of experiments — testing indoor and outdoor conditions, and with various cooling methods — she finally got it to work. In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline.
Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. “The easiest way could be to place dew-harvesting surfaces on roofs, but you could also have these structures in tents in the desert,” she says. “We truly have hidden treasures in the Copiapoa, and we are only just learning some of their secrets.”
8. What does the underlined word “resilient” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Highly adaptable to different soils. B. Able to grow quickly and efficiently
C. Resistant to diseases and harmful insects. D. Capable of surviving difficult conditions
9. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas?
A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water.
C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops.
10. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa?
A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work
C. Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it.
11. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied?
A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes.
C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures.
D
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
12. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
13. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
14. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.

47. 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。
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.”
Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?”
Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office.

I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系,心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预,作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候,我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知,作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响,由此可推断出,作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法,食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面,有很多事情值得深入讨论,但我不认为食物是其中之一,”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感,这并不健康。”)”可知,马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题,而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题,所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反,她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念,即‘责任划分’,在这个概念中,家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物,而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知,根据“责任划分”,孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略,我发现当我不那么严格限制时,他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知,孩子们确实会做出更好的决策,所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。

9. What drove Tegwen Malik to study Copiapoas?
A. Their metal-like surface. B. Their mechanism to gather water.
C. Their typical appearance D. Their ability to form water drops.
10. What was the main focus of Malik’s experiment with the Copiapoa?
A. Recreating a flat metal copy of it B. Testing if its metal copy would work
C Seeing how it survives various climates. D. Finding the most efficient cooling method for it.
11. How may Malik’s metal structure be applied?
A. To secure water supply in dry areas. B. To clean salty water in desert homes.
C. To enable desert explorers to travel light. D. To improve ways to discover hidden treasures.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家受仙人掌启发,研发出了可以在干旱地区收集露水的金属结构,为干燥地区提供清洁水源。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Weallknow cacti (仙人掌) store water-but to surive, they also adjust their flower positions to gain more sunlight or shade, andso much more. Scientists have been copying the resilient plants’ methods to help engineer our future. (我们都知道仙人掌能储存水分,但为了生存,它们还会调整花朵的位置以获得更多阳光或阴凉,诸如此类还有很多。科学家们一直在模仿这些resilient的植物的方法,以帮助设计我们的未来)”可知,划线词修饰的plants指代Weallknow cacti (仙人掌),这种植物能在干旱的沙漠中生存下来,所以推断resilient的意思是“能在困难环境中生存下来的”。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Documented by many scientists, Copiapoas probably survive by “drinking” the salty fog that sweeps in from the sea every morning, as well as the dew — tiny bits of water — that forms on their spines (尖刺) and skin. This has inspired researcher Tegwen Malik from Swansea University to think about whether the dew-collecting process might be reproduced in metal structures. (许多科学家记录到,Copiapoas可能通过“饮用”每天早晨从海上席卷而来咸雾,以及在其尖刺和皮肤上形成的露水——微小的水滴——来生存。这启发了来自斯旺西大学的研究者Tegwen Malik思考露水收集过程是否可以在金属结构中重现)”可知,是仙人掌收集水分的机制启发了Tegwen Malik去研究它。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Starting in 2013, she set out to re-create that structure by engineering a flat metal reproduction of the stems and spines of the Copiapoa, which she began testing under a series of different temperatures and humidities. (从2013年开始,她开始通过制作Copiapoa茎和刺的平面金属复制品来重现这种结构,并在一系列不同的温度和湿度下开始测试)”以及“In 2023, Malik published a study showing that the irregular surface was 8 percent more efficient at harvesting dew than a flat sheet used as a baseline. (2023年,Malik发表了一项研究,研究表明,这种不规则表面收集露水的效率比用作基准的平面高8%)”可知,Malik关于Copiapoa的实验重点是测试它的金属复制品是否有效。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Malik imagines desert homes with water-collecting features to provide clean water in dry regions. (Malik设想沙漠中的房屋有集水功能,为干旱地区提供清洁水源)”可知,Malik的金属结构可能被应用于确保干旱地区的水供应。故选A。
D
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
12. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
13. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
14. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章讲述了新技术呈现人类特质时人们试图使其去性别化,但性别是人们与物体建立联系的基本方式,且创造无性别物体很难,拟人化或能改变刻板印象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,’ says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. (斯坦福大学组织行为学副教授阿什利·马丁说:“人们以非常传统的方式对有性别的物品形成刻板印象。”完全去除物品的性别似乎是解决这个问题的简单方法)”可知,人们对有性别的物品存在刻板印象,让新技术无性别化的目的是减少这种刻板印象。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self driving car known as ‘Miuu.’ (在她的研究中,马丁让参与者对数字语音助手和名为‘Miuu’的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性和无性别版本的喜爱程度进行评分)”可知,参与者被要求对不同版本的产品进行评价,这类似于对调查做出回应。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a ‘he’ or ‘she.’ (马丁的研究还发现,创造无性别对象很困难。例如,如果一个物品的名字听起来是无性别化的,比如Miuu,参与者仍然会给它赋予一个性别——他们会认为Miuu是‘他’或‘她’)”可知,因为性别观念根深蒂固在人们的脑海中,所以即使物品本身试图设计成无性别,人们还是会赋予其性别,这导致创造无性别对象很困难。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) ‘provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.’ (然而,马丁看到了一线希望:她认为拟人化‘提供了改变刻板印象的机会’)”以及后文所举的例子可知,最后一段主要讲了赋予产品性别有积极的一面,即可以通过拟人化改变刻板印象。故选B项。

19题详解】
根据上文“Yet, Mother Nature can be unpredictable. from unbearable heat to unexpected frosts. I lost some of my favorite plants due to extreme weathers.(然而,大自然母亲是不可预测的。从难以忍受的高温到意想不到的霜冻。由于极端天气,我失去了一些我最喜欢的植物)”以及后文“I used drought-tolerant plants and protective coverings like shade cloths and frost blankets to help my strong plants grow.(我使用了耐旱植物和保护性覆盖物,如遮阳布和防冻毯,以帮助我的强壮植物生长)”可知,上文提到因为极端天气作者失去了一些最喜欢的植物,后文则说明作者使用了保持措施,说明作者开始考虑到天气因素,故G选项“但我开始种植时考虑到了气候,而不是心烦意乱”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Gardening is a lifelong journey of learning.(园艺是一生的学习之旅)”以及后文“It’s like finding a hidden library, where each plant and plot offers something new to discover.(这就像找到一个隐藏的图书馆,在那里,每一棵植物和每一片土地都提供了新的发现)”可知,上文提到园艺是一生的学习之旅,且比喻成图书馆,说明园艺需要不断学习、不断发现的特点,故F选项“它总是在变化,需要我们对新知识保持开放的心态”符合语境,故选F。

47. 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。
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.”
Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?”
Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best.

【答案】Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. She suggested a combined approach: setting up a booth as Alex proposed, but also including a small book reading session at lunch break. “We could have a couple of student authors read excerpts from the new series,” she explained. Reluctantly, Alex agreed, seeing that a compromise might be the best way forward. For the next few days, Mary and Alex worked together, dividing the tasks and planning the promotion. By Friday, they had set up the booth with colorful decorations and arranged the book reading session.
After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. He was beaming with pride. “You both did an excellent job,” he said. “The reading session was a big hit, and many students showed interest in the new series.” Alex smiled and nodded, recognizing Mary’s contribution. “I have to admit, your idea for the book reading was a good one,” he said. Mary felt relieved and happy that their hard work paid off. They realized that by combining their ideas, they could create something truly remarkable. From that day forward, they worked well as a team, respecting each other’s strengths and learning from each other.
