Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife? If you are a golfer as I am, you will say “Certainly, go playing golf. ” Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement. In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued. Now let us return to the question at hand. You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork. But, how has that improved me? Can this be quantified (量化)? In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied. You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences. I beg to differ. It does matter how these things change and improve me. Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you. And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop, ought to change you. I think travel does change us, but it’s very hard to say just how. How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm? Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones (司康饼) at a stand? Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost’s poem. To be honest I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question. I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones. 4. Why does the author quote the poem? A. To express the meaning of life. B. To explain the challenges the poet met. C. To show the impact of choices. D. To introduce the general views to choices. 5. What does the author think of playing golf? A. Its result is measurable. B. It is the most challenging sports. C. It leads to self-satisfaction. D. It shows the potential for both gain and loss. 6. What is the author’s attitude towards his decision of going to the North Fork? A. Regretful. B. Unclear. C. Content. D. Doubtful. 7. Which of the following proverb will the author agree with? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Every path has its own scenery. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. You can’t judge a book by its cover. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者在打高尔夫与陪伴妻子旅行之间的选择困境，探讨了自我提升量化标准与人生体验不可量化价值之间的辩证关系‌。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开篇引用诗歌“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.(树林里分出两条路，我选择了人迹罕至的那条，于是一切都不一样了)”以及第一段“As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?(正如罗伯特·弗罗斯特提醒我们的那样，选择往往是困难的，既会带来收获，也会带来损失。星期天我是该打高尔夫球呢，还是和妻子去北福克一日游？)”可推知，作者通过引用这首诗，引出了文章的主题，即选择的重要性以及选择对个人的影响。他在文章中探讨了两种选择（打高尔夫和去北福克旅行）对个人的不同影响，这与诗中选择带来的不同结果相呼应。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued.(在高尔夫运动中，每一杆都有计数，晚上躺在床上时很容易回忆和回顾，因此追求自我提高)”以及第三段“In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied.(在高尔夫运动中，目标是尽可能少地击球完成比赛，如果我平均打出80杆，而我打出76杆，我知道至少在那一天我比以前的自己进步了，因此感到满足)”可知，作者认为打高尔夫的结果是可量化的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones.(我可能在北福克没进过一杆进洞，但我确实很喜欢那些司康饼)”可知，作者虽然没有在打高尔夫时取得特别好的成绩，但享受了在 North Fork的时光。由此推知，作者对自己去 North Fork的决定是满意的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife?(正如罗伯特·弗罗斯特提醒我们的那样，选择往往是困难的，既会带来收获，也会带来损失。星期天我是该打高尔夫球呢，还是和妻子去北福克一日游？)”及下文内容可知，作者以自己周末的选择为例，纠结于打高尔夫还是和妻子去北福克旅行，作者最终选择了旅行，虽然旅行的收获难以量化，比如与当地人交流、品尝司康饼，这些体验带来的内在变化可能更重要。由此推知，作者会同意B选项“每条路都有自己的风景”。故选B。 C Expecting pleasure or pain before tasting hot sauce (酱料) appears to influence how the brain responds to the spicy (辣的) flavour. Brain scans of people tasting drops of hot sauce have revealed how positive and negative expectations can influence brain activity patterns for pleasure and pain. Yi Luo at East China Normal University and her colleagues employed 47 volunteers — roughly half liked spicy foods and half didn’t — to receive drops of both mild and strong hot sauce in their mouths while lying inside a brain imaging scanner. Computer controlled the liquids sent out not-so-spicy and very spicy sauce, as well as water to clean their mouths, through a bunch of three really long tubes that went right into the participants’ mouths. The researchers conducted one round of experiments without setting expectations. But in the second run, they signaled to participants what intensity hot sauce they would get using different-coloured shapes. An image of two red peppers, for example, signaled the hottest sauce, while one red and one blue pepper signaled the mildest. The brain scans showed that, for hot haters, the negative expectation of receiving a spicy sample enlarged activity in brain regions that process pain. This provides a “critical warning” for how medical patients’ negative expectations could increase pain, says Luana Colloca at the University of Maryland. By comparison, the positive expectation of receiving a spicy treat boosted a pleasure signature in the brain of hot sauce lovers, but only for the mild version. This represents “parallel subjective realities”, a theory on how expectations shape subjective experiences and perceptions of reality. “Future studies could investigate how strongly such brain patterns track subjective experiences of pain or pleasure,” says Tor Wager at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. “The broader implications are beyond spicy food,” says Yi Luo. “Understanding how positive and negative expectations influence understanding can inform approaches in medicine. ” 8. What is the research mainly about? A. How the brain reacts to food. B. How expectations affect feelings. C. How spicy flavour influences the brain. D. How the brain activity patterns are formed. 9. What can we learn about the experiments in paragraph 2? A. Participants received three tubes of spicy liquid each time. B. The second run was conducted without setting expectations. C. Participants’ brain activities were monitored during the trials. D. Different images were used to confuse participants’ expectations. 10. What can be concluded from the result of the experiment? A. Hot haters raise their negative expectations. B. Participants’ expectations influence their experiences. C. Hot lovers’ expectations have little impact on the result. D. Patients’ increasing pain results in their negative expectations. 11. According to the text, which area will the research probably be applied to? A. Clinical research. B. Psychological test. C. Medical insurance. D. Restaurant industry. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于期望如何影响感受的研究，解释了研究的过程以及发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Expecting pleasure or pain before tasting hot sauce (酱料) appears to influence how the brain responds to the spicy (辣的) flavour. Brain scans of people tasting drops of hot sauce have revealed how positive and negative expectations can influence brain activity patterns for pleasure and pain.(在品尝辣酱之前，对快乐或痛苦的预期似乎会影响大脑对辛辣味道的反应。人们品尝辣酱时的脑部扫描揭示了积极和消极的期望如何影响大脑对快乐和痛苦的活动模式)”可知，该研究主要是关于期望如何影响感受，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yi Luo at East China Normal University and her colleagues employed 47 volunteers — roughly half liked spicy foods and half didn’t — to receive drops of both mild and strong hot sauce in their mouths while lying inside a brain imaging scanner.(华东师范大学的罗毅和她的同事们雇佣了47名志愿者——大约一半喜欢吃辣，一半不喜欢——让他们躺在脑成像扫描仪里，嘴里滴上淡辣酱和浓辣酱)” 可知，在试验过程中监测了参与者的大脑活动。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The brain scans showed that, for hot haters, the negative expectation of receiving a spicy sample enlarged activity in brain regions that process pain. This provides a “critical warning” for how medical patients’ negative expectations could increase pain, says Luana Colloca at the University of Maryland. By comparison, the positive expectation of receiving a spicy treat boosted a pleasure signature in the brain of hot sauce lovers, but only for the mild version.(脑部扫描显示，对于那些讨厌辣的人来说，接受辛辣食物的负面预期会增加大脑中处理疼痛区域的活动。马里兰大学的Luana Colloca说，这为病人的负面期望如何增加疼痛提供了一个“严重警告”。相比之下，辣酱爱好者对吃辣的积极期待会提升他们大脑中的愉悦信号，但仅限于清淡的辣酱)” 可知，参与者的期望会影响他们的体验，故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Understanding how positive and negative expectations influence understanding can inform approaches in medicine.(了解积极和消极期望如何影响理解，可以医学方法提供信息)”可知，该研究可能会应用于临床研究，故选A。 D At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting. This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds. Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added. Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes. The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit. 12. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment? A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality. B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth. C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success. D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit. 13. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3? A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics. 14. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice? A. Its security. B. Its artificial process. C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming. 15. Which of the following is the best title? A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太空到地面的水稻种植实验，该实验对未来太空农业有重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds.(这项空对地实验始于2022年由“问天号”飞船将6颗水稻种子送入轨道。天宫号上的宇航员将这些种子培育成59颗，并将它们送回了地球。然后，研究人员挑选出高质量的种子，在可控的气候条件下种植，生产出大约1万颗新种子)” 可知，在太空培育的种子回到地球后被进一步种植，故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice(比如含糖量较高，其含糖量估计是标准大米的5到6倍)”可知，“traits” 指太空培育水稻的独特特点，如高糖含量、蛋白质含量增加等。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes.(中国空间技术研究院专家赵辉强调了太空培育食品的安全性，他解释说，与转基因作物不同，太空培育的种子在不引入外源基因的情况下会自然变异)”可知，赵辉强调的是太空培育水稻的安全性，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong.(在上海的一个作物育种中心，研究人员成功收获了由中国空间站天宫号培育的种子培育而成的水稻)”可知，文章主要讲述了太空到地面的水稻种植实验，该实验对未来太空农业有重要意义。由此可知，D选项 “天地循环：有前景的未来太空农业”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 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。 Parents often focus on children’s academic aspects of things.

Does it really matter if our children know how to sew, knit or craft? ___17___ They are the makers, eager to bring what they have imagined to life. Others are reluctant. They may struggle with delicate skills. Trying to make anything becomes a source of frustration. While we may no longer need handcrafts to live a functional life in society, there are still many benefits to learning how to do them. Using tools of various types to create helps build delicate skills. When first learning how to sew, knit, woodwork, bake and so on, one must learn how to use the tools safely and correctly. Moreover, learning how to follow a pattern to obtain the desired result is an important skill as well. But that’s not all. ___18___ . Once basic skills are developed, there is a great deal of opportunity for creativity. Children can come up with their own plans and patterns. They can experiment with different stitches (针法), materials, designs, etc. Creative thinking is also highly valued in many workplaces today. While making something by hand takes time, sticking with it develops both patience and persistence. Additionally, handwork can be a break from our technologically driven world. ___19___ Creating something both beautiful and useful is worthwhile. ___20___ You can start by teaching your children something you enjoyed and learning together with your children. Handwork can be positive to your family life! A. This is understandable. B. We all enjoy the thrill of saying, “I made that! ” C. Some children are naturally drawn to arts and crafts. D. Finally, you will develop the ability to do handwork. E. However, handwork is essential to children’s development. F. It also increases mathematical understanding as items must often be measured. G.

G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了手工经常被忽视，说明了其重要性以及手工的诸多好处。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Parents often focus on children’s academic aspects of things. Math? Check. Reading? Done. Writing? Complete. Yet, handwork is often left for last. (父母经常关注孩子学业方面的事情。数学？检查。阅读？完成了。写作？完成了。然而，手工常常被放在最后。)”以及后文“We live in a world that values math and literacy, science and technology. (我们生活在一个重视数学、识字、科学和技术的世界。)”可知，前文提到家长常把手工活动放在最后，后文解释我们生活在重视其他学科的世界，所以这种现象是可以理解的。故A选项“这可以理解。”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“They are the makers, eager to bring what they have imagined to life. Others are reluctant. They may struggle with delicate skills. (他们是创造者，渴望把他们想象的东西变为现实。其他人则不愿意。他们可能很难掌握精细的技能。)”可知，后文提到有些孩子渴望将想象变为现实，有些孩子则不情愿，说明本句是在说明孩子喜欢手工的情况。故C选项“有些孩子天生就喜欢工艺品。”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Using tools of various types to create helps build delicate skills. When first learning how to sew, knit, woodwork, bake and so on, one must learn how to use the tools safely and correctly. Moreover, learning how to follow a pattern to obtain the desired result is an important skill as well. But that’s not all. (使用不同类型的工具来创造有助于培养微妙的技能。当第一次学习如何缝纫、编织、木工、烘焙等时，必须学会如何安全正确地使用工具。此外，学习如何遵循一个模式来获得预期的结果也是一项重要的技能。但这还不是全部。)”可知，前文说使用工具创造有助于培养精细技能，学习遵循模式也是重要技能，故F选项“它还增加了数学理解，因为这些原料必须经常被测量。”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Once basic skills are developed, there is a great deal of opportunity for creativity. Children can come up with their own plans and patterns. They can experiment with different stitches (针法), materials, designs, etc. Creative thinking is also highly valued in many workplaces today. While making something by hand takes time, sticking with it develops both patience and persistence. Additionally, handwork can be a break from our technologically driven world. (一旦基本技能得到发展，就会有大量的创造机会。孩子们可以想出自己的计划和模式。他们可以尝试不同的针脚、材料、设计等。在今天的许多工作场所，创造性思维也受到高度重视。虽然手工制作需要时间，但坚持做下去可以培养耐心和毅力。此外，手工可以让我们从技术驱动的世界中解脱出来。)”可知，前文列举了手工能带来很多好处，如培养耐心等，还能让人们从科技世界中解脱出来。故B选项“我们都喜欢说“那是我做的！””表达制作出东西后的成就感，与前文手工的好处相呼应，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“You can start by teaching your children something you enjoyed and learning together with your children. Handwork can be positive to your family life! (你可以从教你的孩子一些你喜欢的东西开始，和你的孩子一起学习。手工可以给你的家庭生活带来积极的影响！)”及前文列举了手工的诸多好处，这里进行总结。故G选项“有了这些好处，很容易看出学习手工是一项有价值的活动。”说明鉴于这些好处，学习手工是有价值的活动，符合语境，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格处的最佳选项。 When I created my social media account I was unaware that I would be so engaged in it.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior (自卑的) to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes,” still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. I, together with another three classmates, signed up for the relay race. We trained for it and discussed strategies together, none paying attention to my acne. Because of my advantage in speed, I was even assigned to run the last leg, which was the most crucial part. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience was a turning point to my junior life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then came the long-awaited sports day. My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track. When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track. The experience was a turning point to my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾经因为长青春痘感到自卑，成绩急剧下滑。某次学校举办运动会，作者在朋友的鼓励下，参加了比赛，并且取得了很好的成绩，找回了自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来是期待已久的运动会”可知，第一段可描写作者参加比赛的经过以及同学的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次经历是我青年生活的转折点”可知，第二段可描写作者的感悟以及明白了友谊的真谛。 2.续写线索：运动会开始——努力比赛——同学欣赏——作者感悟——明白友谊真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①超过：overtake/surpass ②抓住：grab/seize ③重视：value/attach importance to 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/with excitement ②欣赏：admiration/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair.

It presents previous works with videos. 2. For a tech enthusiast, which piece of work is worth recommending? A. Mother-tongue. B. The Journey of Numbers. C. An Ode to Reverie Valley. D. A Dialogue Between Machines. 3. How can visitors meet the project participants in person? A. Engaging in the seminar. B. Visiting the Window Galleries . C. Applying through web page. D. Attending the event on 31 July. B “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ” As Robert Frost reminded us choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife? If you are a golfer as I am, you will say “Certainly, go playing golf. ” Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement. In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued. Now let us return to the question at hand. You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork. But, how has that improved me? Can this be quantified (量化)? In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied. You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences. I beg to differ. It does matter how these things change and improve me. Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you. And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop, ought to change you. I think travel does change us, but it’s very hard to say just how. How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm? Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones (司康饼) at a stand? Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost’s poem. To be honest, I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question. I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones. 4. Why does the author quote the poem? A. To express the meaning of life. B. To explain the challenges the poet met. C. To show the impact of choices. D. To introduce the general views to choices. 5. What does the author think of playing golf? A. Its result is measurable. B. It is the most challenging sports. C. It leads to self-satisfaction. D. It shows the potential for both gain and loss. 6. What is the author’s attitude towards his decision of going to the North Fork? A. Regretful. B. Unclear. C. Content. D. Doubtful. 7. Which of the following proverb will the author agree with? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Every path has its own scenery. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. You can’t judge a book by its cover. C Expecting pleasure or pain before tasting hot sauce (酱料) appears to influence how the brain responds to the spicy (辣的) flavour. Brain scans of people tasting drops of hot sauce have revealed how positive and negative expectations can influence brain activity patterns for pleasure and pain. Yi Luo at East China Normal University and her colleagues employed 47 volunteers — roughly half liked spicy foods and half didn’t — to receive drops of both mild and strong hot sauce in their mouths while lying inside a brain imaging scanner. Computer controlled the liquids sent out not-so-spicy and very spicy sauce, as well as water to clean their mouths, through a bunch of three really long tubes that went right into the participants’ mouths. The researchers conducted one round of experiments without setting expectations. But in the second run, they signaled to participants what intensity hot sauce they would get using different-coloured shapes. An image of two red peppers, for example, signaled the hottest sauce, while one red and one blue pepper signaled the mildest. The brain scans showed that, for hot haters, the negative expectation of receiving a spicy sample enlarged activity in brain regions that process pain. This provides a “critical warning” for how medical patients’ negative expectations could increase pain, says Luana Colloca at the University of Maryland. By comparison, the positive expectation of receiving a spicy treat boosted a pleasure signature in the brain of hot sauce lovers, but only for the mild version. This represents “parallel subjective realities”, a theory on how expectations shape subjective experiences and perceptions of reality. “Future studies could investigate how strongly such brain patterns track subjective experiences of pain or pleasure,” says Tor Wager at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. “The broader implications are beyond spicy food,” says Yi Luo. “Understanding how positive and negative expectations influence understanding can inform approaches in medicine. ” 8. What is the research mainly about? A. How the brain reacts to food. B. How expectations affect feelings. C. How spicy flavour influences the brain. D. How the brain activity patterns are formed. 9. What can we learn about the experiments in paragraph 2? A. Participants received three tubes of spicy liquid each time. B. The second run was conducted without setting expectations. C. Participants’ brain activities were monitored during the trials. D. Different images were used to confuse participants’ expectations. 10. What can be concluded from the result of the experiment? A. Hot haters raise their negative expectations. B. Participants’ expectations influence their experiences. C. Hot lovers’ expectations have little impact on the result. D. Patients’ increasing pain results in their negative expectations. 11. According to the text, which area will the research probably be applied to? A. Clinical research. B. Psychological test. C. Medical insurance. D. Restaurant industry. D At a crop breeding (培育) center in Shanghai, researchers have successfully harvested rice that was grown from seeds initially bred on China’s space station, Tiangong. The rice plants have completed a full growth cycle on Earth, maturing after more than 100 days since planting. This space-to-ground experiment began with 6 rice seeds sent into orbit in 2022 on the Wentian spacecraft. Taikonauts onboard Tiangong bred these seeds into 59, which they returned to Earth. Researchers then selected high-quality seeds, growing them under controlled climate conditions and producing around 10,000 new seeds. Zheng Huiqiong, a lead researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center, shared that the team’s findings suggest space-bred seeds can reproduce effectively on Earth, suggesting potential for future space agriculture. Zheng highlighted that the space-bred rice possesses unique traits, such as a higher sugar content, with sugar levels estimated to be five to six times higher than standard rice. The space-bred rice also showed a slight increase in protein content. “That means space-bred rice tastes sweeter and has more energy,” she added. Space breeding, the method used in this experiment, exposes seeds to space radiation and microgravity, generating gene mutations (基因突变). These mutations are carefully assessed upon the seeds’ return to Earth, sometimes resulting in advantageous traits like shorter growth times, improved disease resistance, and higher output. Zhao Hui, an expert in China Academy of Space Technology, emphasized the safety of space-bred food, explaining that unlike genetically modified crops, space-bred seeds naturally mutate without introducing foreign genes. However, the space-bred rice has fewer leaves, which complicates close planting. Researchers are planning further studies to understand these leaf traits and explore possible genetic changes. The Tiangong rice experiment marked a milestone for crop science, as it was the first time that rice had completed a full life cycle — from seed germination (发芽) to reproduction — in orbit. 12. What can we know about the space-to-ground experiment? A. Seeds grown in orbit promise higher crop quality. B. Seeds bred in space were further grown successfully on Earth. C. New species of seeds grown in space have achieved great success. D. Climate conditions were controlled when seeds were sent into orbit. 13. What does the underlined words “traits” mean in paragraph 3? A. Materials. B. Arrangements. C. Disadvantages. D. Characteristics. 14. What does Zhao Hui stress about the space-bred rice? A. Its security. B. Its artificial process. C. Its nutrition. D. Its major shortcoming. 15. Which of the following is the best title? A. Organic Farming: High-quality Planting in Space B. Space Exploration: A Journey to the Space and Beyond C. New Planting Approach: Replacing the Traditional Farming D. Space-to-ground Cycle: Promising Future Space Agriculture 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。 Parents often focus on children’s academic aspects of things. Math?

While we may no longer need handcrafts to live a functional life in society, there are still many benefits to learning how to do them. Using tools of various types to create helps build delicate skills. When first learning how to sew, knit, woodwork, bake and so on, one must learn how to use the tools safely and correctly. Moreover, learning how to follow a pattern to obtain the desired result is an important skill as well. But that’s not all. ___18___ . Once basic skills are developed, there is a great deal of opportunity for creativity. Children can come up with their own plans and patterns. They can experiment with different stitches (针法), materials, designs, etc. Creative thinking is also highly valued in many workplaces today. While making something by hand takes time, sticking with it develops both patience and persistence. Additionally, handwork can be a break from our technologically driven world. ___19___ Creating something both beautiful and useful is worthwhile. ___20___ You can start by teaching your children something you enjoyed and learning together with your children. Handwork can be positive to your family life! A. This is understandable. B. We all enjoy the thrill of saying, “I made that! ” C Some children are naturally drawn to arts and crafts. D. Finally, you will develop the ability to do handwork. E. However, handwork is essential to children’s development. F It also increases mathematical understanding as items must often be measured. G.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior (自卑的) to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes,” still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. I, together with another three classmates, signed up for the relay race. We trained for it and discussed strategies together, none paying attention to my acne. Because of my advantage in speed, I was even assigned to run the last leg, which was the most crucial part. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience was a turning point to my junior life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
