To keep more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts. Do consider joining a membership program. Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards. Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks. Do buy low. Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you’ ll know a good deal when you see it. Don’t fall for fake reviews Review fraud is rampant (猖獗), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information. Don’t put off those payments. “Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay. You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don’t have to wait to get your goodies. But there is a big downside: If you’ re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper, ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans. 1. What additional benefits can membership programs offer? A. Free fast deliveries with no minimums. B. Exclusive early access to new products. C. Personalized shopping recommendations. D. Guaranteed rock bottom prices of all items. 2. How can consumers identify fake reviews more effectively? A. Checking for purchase labels on reviews. B. Using price trackers to analyze review trends. C. Joining loyalty programs for authentic reviews D. Applying tools like Fakespot and ReviewMeta. 3. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To promote membership programs B. To warn consumers of unstable prices C. To provide shopping tips on money saving. D. To discourage customers from shopping online. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要讲述了年末假期购物时省钱的一些建议和方法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Do consider joining a membership program部分中“Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks. (会员还可以享受其他符合条件的订单的快速、免费送货服务，且没有最低消费限制，以及其他福利。)”可知，会员可以享受的额外福利是“没有最低消费限制的快速免费送货”。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Don’t fall for fake reviews部分中“Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information. (Fakespot和ReviewMeta是两个可以帮助你更明智地根据用户评论购物的工具，它们会对产品评分进行评估。这两个网站还会筛选出值得信赖的评论，帮助你找到相关且富有洞察力的产品信息。)”可知，消费者可以使用像Fakespot和ReviewMeta这样的工具来更有效地识别虚假评论。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“This is the season for spending, or so it seems, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money left and right for decorations, presents, food, and on and on. To keep more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts. (这是消费的季节，或者看起来是这样，因为我们期待着年末假期的到来，开始大肆花钱购买装饰品、礼物、食物等等。为了让你口袋里留下更多的钱，请遵循以下该做与不该做的事项。)”可知，文章主要讲述了在年末假期期间，为了帮助消费者省钱，提供了一些购物时应该做和不应该做的事情。因此，本文的目的是提供关于省钱的购物建议。故选C。 B More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go. Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou. It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach to treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said. 4. What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research? A. Creative. B. Comprehensive. C. Conventional. D. Challenging. 5. Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts? A. She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B. She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases. C. She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D. She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of the drug testing. B. The application of YIV-906. C. Effects of the clinical trial. D. The effectiveness of YIV-906. 7. Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao? A. To illustrate the value of botanical drugs. B. To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine. C. To praise Tu’s contributions to drug development. D. To highlight its success in medicine development. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了耶鲁大学癌症药物开发教授郑永齐研究一种新的治疗癌症的方法。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go.( 其他研究人员和专家建议他改变路线，因为开发植物药物太复杂，风险太大。但是郑永齐并没有放弃这个想法)”可推知，研究人员最初认为郑永齐的研究是具有挑战性的。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-ycar-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.( 郑永齐在耶鲁大学实验室的博士后研究员刘淑惠（音译）花了几个小时在耶鲁大学图书馆翻阅中国古代文献，寻找中草药的特性。她带着黄芩汤回来了，黄芩汤是一种有1800年历史的治疗胃病的药物，研究小组以此为基础开发了一种药物，并在1000只老鼠身上进行了测试)”可推知，刘淑惠参考中国古代文献是因为她希望找到治疗疾病的灵感。故选B项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.( 接下来的几年里，科学家们在涉及200多名患者的多项人体研究中，对这种药物对一系列癌症的有效性进行了额外的测试。YIV-906不仅减少了放射治疗的副作用，而且恢复得更快，生存率更长，积极的效果一次又一次地显示出来)”可知，第三段主要讲了YIV-906的有效性。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb ginghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.( 大约三年后，当国际试验的结果公布时，YIV-906可能会成为从天然产物中开发的一长串突破性药物中的下一个，其中包括从中药青蒿中开发的一种治疗疟疾的药物，该药物的发现使化学家屠呦呦获得了诺贝尔奖)”可推知，作者提到中药青蒿是为了说明植物性药物的价值。故选A项。 C In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 9. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work. B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces. C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off. D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们面对看似异常优惠的报价时，因怀疑其真实性而倾向于拒绝的心理现象，并解释了背后的心理学原理。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. (在最初的实验中，近40%的参与者吃了免费提供的饼干，相比之下，提供5美元的参与者中约有20%吃了饼干。另外九项实验，涉及4000多名参与者，使用在线问卷来呈现其他场景。这些条件包括给钱让他们搭车回家，极高的建筑工作工资，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每种情况下，超过某一点，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性。)”可知，实验主要关注人们的决策过程，即“决策制定”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” (该研究的主要作者Vonasch说，这表明，与“标准经济模型”相反，交易也需要被理解为人们试图了解彼此思想的社会互动。“标准经济模型”假设人类总是寻求利益最大化。如果有人似乎违反了公认的规则，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”——想象的后果会降低Vonasch所说的报价的“心理价值”。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到“standard economic model”是为了进一步解释实验，帮助读者理解人们的决策过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. (当下以外的因素可能会起作用。英国雷丁大学的心理学家雷切尔·麦克洛伊说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”研究人员还展示了如何mitigate这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由。)”可知，理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿，简单地提供一个交易的理由是为了减轻这种影响，因此mitigate在这里的意思是“减少，减轻”。A. Analyse分析；B. Improve改进；C. Measure测量；D. Lessen减少，减轻。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” (在《人格与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常高的薪水或可疑的廉价服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们面对看似“好得令人难以置信”的报价时的心理反应，即因为担心存在隐藏的代价而拒绝接受。选项C“Phantom costs: Why ‘too good to be true’ scares people off (幻影成本：为什么“好得令人难以置信”会吓跑人们。)”准确地概括了文章的主旨，符合题意。故选C。 D In recent years, to monitor biodiversity and perceive how changes in ecosystems affect migratory (迁徙的) routes, researchers and conservationists have focused on tracking migratory bird populations worldwide. These birds, which travel thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering grounds, face numerous threats, including habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. Using state-of-the-art satellite technology, scientists have managed to collect large datasets on bird movements, providing crucial insights into their migratory patterns and paternal risks. However, despite the abundance of tracking data, a recent study from the University of Cambridge underscores that significant gaps in our understanding of many species still exist. “While we have a vast amount of tracking data, we often overlook smaller migratory species or those that travel less popular routes,” explains Dr. Emma Lewis, the study’s lead author. “Our reliance on satellite tags has also led us to focus mainly on larger species that can carry the weight of the tracking devices, leaving smaller birds, which are often just as vulnerable, underrepresented in our data.” The study examined data from over a million tracking records of migratory birds and identified several areas with limited information. Birds from remote areas, for instance, were much less likely to be tracked due to accessibility issues. Additionally, there was a strong bias (偏见) toward species that are already of high interest to the public, such as eagles or storks, rather than smaller, less prominent birds. Dr. Lewis and her team believe this bias could lead to conservation resources being disproportionately allocated to certain species while neglecting others that may be equally at risk. To address these issues, Dr. Lewis suggests expanding tracking efforts to include more diverse bird populations. “By collaborating with local researchers and investing in lighter, more efficient tracking technology, we can gather data on a broader range of species,” she explains. “Encouraging birdwatchers to report sightings of less common migratory birds could fill current data gaps and offer a more comprehensive image of global migratory patterns.” This combined approach could ensure that future conservation efforts are better informed and more inclusive, ultimately contributing to the protection of all migratory bird species. 12. What’s the main issue with current migratory bird tracking? A. Heavily relying on large databasets. B. Ignoring short-distance migrations. C. Primarily tracking larger bird species. D. Focusing on migration in breeding seasons. 13. What contributes to data gaps in migratory bird tracking? A. Inaccurate public sightings. B. Expensive tracking devices. C. Lack of conservation funding. D. Limitations of tracking technology. 14. What is the researchers’ concern about conservation resources? A. Desperate shortage in popular routes. B. Uneven allocation to certain species. C. Rare accessibility to larger bird species D. Irresponsible overuse in remote habitats 15. How does Dr. Lewis suggest improving bird migration data? A. Limit resources to high-profile species. B. Launch new programs for endangered species. C. Enhance tracking methods for prominent bird species. D. Engage the public in observing underrepresented birds. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了近年来科学家和研究人员使用先进的卫星技术追踪候鸟迁徙，以监测生物多样性和了解生态系统变化对迁徙路线的影响，但仍然存在一些问题，比如数据缺口和偏见，并探讨了解决方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our reliance on satellite tags has also led us to focus mainly on larger species that can carry the weight of the tracking devices, leaving smaller birds, which are often just as vulnerable, underrepresented in our data. (我们对卫星标签的依赖也导致我们主要关注能够承受跟踪设备重量的大型物种，而在我们的数据中，往往同样脆弱的小型鸟类的代表性不足。)”可知，当前候鸟追踪的主要问题是主要追踪大型鸟类，而体型较小、同样脆弱的鸟类在我们的数据中代表性不足，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Birds from remote areas, for instance, were much less likely to be tracked due to accessibility issues. Additionally, there was a strong bias (偏见) toward species that are already of high interest to the public, such as eagles or storks, rather than smaller, less prominent birds. Dr. Lewis and her team believe this bias could lead to conservation resources being disproportionately allocated to certain species while neglecting others that may be equally at risk. (例如，由于可及性问题，来自偏远地区的鸟类被追踪的可能性要小得多。此外，人们对鹰或鹳等公众已经非常感兴趣的物种有强烈的偏见，而不是较小的、不太出名的鸟类。刘易斯博士和她的团队认为，这种偏见可能导致保护资源被不成比例地分配给某些物种，而忽视了其他可能同样面临风险的物种。)”可知，导致候鸟追踪中的数据缺口的原因是追踪技术的局限性，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dr. Lewis and her team believe this bias could lead to conservation resources being disproportionately allocated to certain species while neglecting others that may be equally at risk. (刘易斯博士和她的团队认为，这种偏见可能导致保护资源被不成比例地分配给某些物种，而忽视了其他可能同样面临风险的物种。)”可知，研究人员对资源保护的担忧是分配给某些物种的资源不均衡，故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Encouraging birdwatchers to report sightings of less common migratory birds could fill current data gaps and offer a more comprehensive image of global migratory patterns. (鼓励观鸟者报告看到的不常见的候鸟，可以填补目前的数据空白，并提供一个更全面的全球迁徙模式的图像。)”可知，刘易斯博士建议让公众参与观察代表性不足的鸟类，以改进鸟类迁徙数据，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。 According to scientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol or smoking. “___16___.” says Mueller. “And it’s also a way for the collector to temporarily let go of the burdens in their lives and find joy in the moment.” ___17___. More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for stones, shells, and other useless objects just as they hunted for food. In modern times, while some people collect as a statement of who they are, others collect as an investment or a source of pleasure. Collecting requires attaining knowledge. You have to figure out where you can find the desired items, what they’re worth, and how you will organize and display your collections. Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in its functioning, skills that include working memory, multitasking, and controlling impulse (脉搏). ___18___. On a physiological level, research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that physical objects have unique effects on brain functions specifically related to memory. Meanwhile, visualizing objects stimulates many areas of the brain. Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time, and you can better recall those things because you have a reminder. ___19___. Each item is a clue for your memory. ___20___. Collectors often report that the friendship of other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting. Interacting with sellers, other collectors, or even admirers of your collection can also serve as a foundation for relationship-building. It can develop both a sense of belonging and individuality. A. Of course, collecting is not a new phenomenon B. It is a bit challenging and tiring for us to display C. Collecting can be a form of exercise for the mind D. In that way, collections act as a physical time machine E. Collecting is a way to feel a sense of safety and comfort F. Collecting also seems to hit fundamental relationship needs G. It takes a long time for people to form the habit of collecting 【答案】16 E 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了收藏行为对人类大脑和生活的积极影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“According to scientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol or smoking.(根据科学家雪莉·穆勒的说法，收藏能刺激大脑的快乐中枢，但没有酒精或吸烟的缺点)和下文“And it’s also a way for the collector to temporarily let go of the burdens in their lives and find joy in the moment.(这也是收藏者暂时放下生活中的负担，在当下找到快乐的一种方式)”可知，上下文都在讲述收藏的好处，所以此处也应该讲述收藏的好处。选项E“收藏是一种获得安全感和舒适感的方式”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据下文“More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for stones, shells, and other useless objects just as they hunted for food. In modern times, while some people collect as a statement of who they are, others collect as an investment or a source of pleasure.(10多万年前，我们的祖先在寻找食物的同时，也寻找石头、贝壳和其他无用的东西。在现代，一些人收藏东西是为了表明自己的身份，而另一些人则是为了投资或寻找乐趣)”可知，收藏这种行为由来已久，不是一个新的现象。选项A“当然，收藏并不是一种新现象”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Collecting requires attaining knowledge. You have to figure out where you can find the desired items, what they’re worth, and how you will organize and display your collections. Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in its functioning, skills that include working memory, multitasking, and controlling impulse.(收藏需要获取知识。你必须弄清楚在哪里可以找到想要的物品，它们的价值是多少，以及如何组织和展示你的收藏。这些活动会刺激大脑中与其功能相关的区域，包括工作记忆、多任务处理和控制冲动等技能)”可知，收藏的过程需要大脑参与很多活动，所以收藏是对大脑的一种锻炼。选项C“收藏可以是对大脑的一种锻炼”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time, and you can better recall those things because you have a reminder.(每个物体都与一个人、一段经历或一个时刻相关联，你可以更好地回忆起这些事情，因为你有一个提醒)”和下文“Each item is a clue for your memory.(每一件物品都是你记忆的线索)”可知，空处内容应与收藏品能帮助人们回忆过去有关，选项D“通过这种方式，收藏品就像一台实体的时光机器”符合语境，选项中的“that way”指代上文提到的收藏品与记忆的联系。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Collectors often report that the friendship of other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting. Interacting with sellers, other collectors, or even admirers of your collection can also serve as a foundation for relationship-building.(收藏家们经常报告说，与其他收藏家的友谊是收藏中最有价值的方面之一。与卖家、其他收藏家甚至是你收藏的崇拜者互动，也可以作为建立关系的基础)”可知，本段主要讲述的是收藏可以满足人们对人际关系的需求。选项F“收藏似乎也满足了基本的人际关系需求”符合语境。故选F。 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Each family has a treasure trove (宝藏) of recipes.

He was the quiet kid in our grade, the one who sat at the back of the classroom with his hood (连衣帽) pulled low over his face. Max rarely spoke to anyone, and when he did, his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood. Rumors (谣言) about him spread like wildfire - some said he got into fights after school, others claimed he had once stolen a teacher’s wallet, l didn’t know if any of them was true, but l stayed away, just like everyone else. Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. A low voice of curiosity spread through the room, and soon enough, theories about his absence started flying. “He got suspended,” whispered a girl next to me. “I heard he struck a guy outside the library. ” I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement. Later that day, I found myself at the park, enjoying the first warm day of spring. That’s when I saw him - Max - sitting alone on the swings. His usual guarded expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t expected: sadness. Against my better judgment, I walked over. “Hey,” I said awkwardly. Max looked up, surprised. “What do you want?” “I…just saw you here and thought I’d say hi.” He gave me a strange look but said nothing. I was about to walk away when I noticed a wrinkled piece of paper in his hand, “What’s that?” I asked. For a moment he hesitated. Then, with a shrug, he handed it to me. It was a hospital discharge form, and the name on it wasn’t his. It was his younger sister’s. I looked at him, confused. “She’s been sick for months,” Max explained, his voice barely heard. “Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ” It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance - he wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood. 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。 The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, things began to change ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. Someone had even started calling him “Mad Max” and the nickname caught on. I couldn’t stand it anymore. During lunch, I stood up in the middle of the cafeteria and shouted, “You guys have it all wrong! Max isn’t what you think. He’s been dealing with stuff none of you know about, so just stop!” The room went silent. I felt every eye on me, and my face burned with embarrassment. But then Max, who was sitting at a corner table, gave me a small nod of gratitude. From that day forward, things began to change. Max still wasn’t an outgoing person, but little by little, more people started talking to him. When someone tried to bring up the old rumors, I was quick to shut them down. Max and I became friends, and he even opened up to me about his sister’s recovery. I realized how easy it had been to judge him based on hearsay, and how wrong we had been. Sometimes, people build walls not to keep others out, but to protect themselves. I never made that mistake again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者为遭受谣言的Max正名，并因此与Max建立友谊，同时也认识到不应仅凭流言蜚语就评判他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“下一个周一，Max回来了，但谣言依旧不断。”可知，第一段可描写Max回到学校后，谣言依旧存在，作者挺身而出为Max辩护。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，事情开始发生变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者为Max辩护后，人们对Max的态度开始转变，作者与Max建立了友谊。 2.续写线索：为Max辩护——Max的感谢——环境改变——友谊建立——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①站起来：stand up/ get to one’s feet/ rise ②喊道：shout/ yell/ call out ③谈话：talk to/ converse with/ engage in conversation with ④制止：shut down/ stop/ prevent 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness/discomfort ②感激：gratitude/ appreciation/ thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He’s been dealing with stuff none of you know about, so just stop!

To keep more of your money in your pocket, follow these dos and don’ts. Do consider joining a membership program. Programs from Amazon, Walmart and others can get you more than discounts and rewards. Membership also gets you fast, free deliveries on other qualifying orders with no minimums, plus other perks. Do buy low. Price trackers help you time your purchases so you can pounce (抓住机会) when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. At the very least, these tools can give you pricing information so you’ ll know a good deal when you see it. Don’t fall for fake reviews. Review fraud is rampant (猖獗), and it could get a lot harder to spot fake user reviews, thanks to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Two tools that can help you shop smarter with user reviews are Fakespot and ReviewMeta, which rate product ratings. Both sites also tease out trustworthy comments to help you find relevant and insightful product information. Don’t put off those payments. “Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options are advocated by companies like Affirm and Afterpay. You can pay in installments (分期付款), and you don’t have to wait to get your goodies. But there is a big downside: If you’ re struggling with debt, BNPL payments can dig your hole deeper, ending up raising your interest rates on mortgage and car loans. 1. What additional benefits can membership programs offer? A. Free fast deliveries with no minimums. B. Exclusive early access to new products. C. Personalized shopping recommendations. D. Guaranteed rock bottom prices of all items. 2. How can consumers identify fake reviews more effectively? A. Checking for purchase labels on reviews. B. Using price trackers to analyze review trends. C. Joining loyalty programs for authentic reviews D. Applying tools like Fakespot and ReviewMeta. 3. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To promote membership programs B. To warn consumers of unstable prices C. To provide shopping tips on money saving. D. To discourage customers from shopping online. B More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go. Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou. It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach to treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said. 4. What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research? A. Creative. B. Comprehensive. C. Conventional. D. Challenging. 5. Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts? A. She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B. She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases. C. She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D. She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of the drug testing. B. The application of YIV-906. C. Effects of the clinical trial. D. The effectiveness of YIV-906. 7. Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao? A. To illustrate the value of botanical drugs. B. To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine. C. To praise Tu’s contributions to drug development. D. To highlight its success in medicine development. C In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 9. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work. B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces. C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off. D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives. D In recent years, to monitor biodiversity and perceive how changes in ecosystems affect migratory (迁徙的) routes, researchers and conservationists have focused on tracking migratory bird populations worldwide. These birds, which travel thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering grounds, face numerous threats, including habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. Using state-of-the-art satellite technology, scientists have managed to collect large datasets on bird movements, providing crucial insights into their migratory patterns and paternal risks. However, despite the abundance of tracking data, a recent study from the University of Cambridge underscores that significant gaps in our understanding of many species still exist. “While we have a vast amount of tracking data, we often overlook smaller migratory species or those that travel less popular routes,” explains Dr. Emma Lewis, the study’s lead author. “Our reliance on satellite tags has also led us to focus mainly on larger species that can carry the weight of the tracking devices, leaving smaller birds, which are often just as vulnerable, underrepresented in our data.” The study examined data from over a million tracking records of migratory birds and identified several areas with limited information. Birds from remote areas, for instance, were much less likely to be tracked due to accessibility issues. Additionally, there was a strong bias (偏见) toward species that are already of high interest to the public, such as eagles or storks, rather than smaller, less prominent birds. Dr. Lewis and her team believe this bias could lead to conservation resources being disproportionately allocated to certain species while neglecting others that may be equally at risk. To address these issues, Dr. Lewis suggests expanding tracking efforts to include more diverse bird populations. “By collaborating with local researchers and investing in lighter, more efficient tracking technology, we can gather data on a broader range of species,” she explains. “Encouraging birdwatchers to report sightings of less common migratory birds could fill current data gaps and offer a more comprehensive image of global migratory patterns.” This combined approach could ensure that future conservation efforts are better informed and more inclusive, ultimately contributing to the protection of all migratory bird species. 12.

He was the quiet kid in our grade, the one who sat at the back of the classroom with his hood (连衣帽) pulled low over his face. Max rarely spoke to anyone, and when he did, his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood. Rumors (谣言) about him spread like wildfire - some said he got into fights after school, others claimed he had once stolen a teacher’s wallet, l didn’t know if any of them was true, but l stayed away, just like everyone else. Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. A low voice of curiosity spread through the room, and soon enough, theories about his absence started flying. “He got suspended,” whispered a girl next to me. “I heard he struck a guy outside the library. ” I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement. Later that day, I found myself at the park, enjoying the first warm day of spring. That’s when I saw him - Max - sitting alone on the swings. His usual guarded expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t expected: sadness. Against my better judgment, I walked over. “Hey,” I said awkwardly. Max looked up, surprised. “What do you want?” “I…just saw you here and thought I’d say hi.” He gave me a strange look but said nothing. I was about to walk away when I noticed a wrinkled piece of paper in his hand, “What’s that?” I asked. For a moment, he hesitated. Then, with a shrug, he handed it to me. It was a hospital discharge form, and the name on it wasn’t his. It was his younger sister’s. I looked at him, confused. “She’s been sick for months,” Max explained, his voice barely heard. “Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ” It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance - he wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood. 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。 The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day forward, things began to change ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CBAAC 6-10 BBBAC 11-15 ACBAC 16-20 ABCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
