We were seven hours past sun-up, but you never would have known that on Thursday afternoon as the roosters-adult male chickens began to crow. The noise started just after 2 p. m. and by the time it stopped, the dozen or so roosters would stretch open their mouths, extend their necks and cry out more than 100 times collectively in this event, which is one of the oldest contests at the Kentucky State Fair. Kentuckians, young and old, bring their roosters to the fair to see who can crow the most in a 15-minute stretch. The winning rooster’s owner takes home a bag of chicken feed.
It was about half an hour until the crow-off began when I settled into a seat across from a small stage full of cages. That’s where I met John Ball the fair’s crowing organizer, who talked excitedly about the whole affair to come. “The only real rules are you have to bring a rooster and that you can’t egg it on during its 15 minutes in the spotlight,” he said.
I wondered how a rooster was trained to crow in the afternoon, and fortunately, nine-year-old Ben Miller had some insight to share. When I introduced myself to him, he was already covering his rooster’s eyes gently with his hand. “Now, it thinks it’s dark,” Ben told me. Part of the trick was to make his rooster believe the sun hadn’t risen yet. That way, it would be ready to cry out as soon as it saw the light.
As I looked around, I saw that a few other roosters had joined us. One by one they were placed in the cages in front of the audience. The crowing continued for the full 15 minutes. After Ball’s timer went off, Sam Lamb, 15, and his rooster won the contest. It’d crowed 37 times, just a little more than half of the 67 crows from a few years before.
4. What can we say about the contest?
A. It centers around six roosters. B. It lasts for a total of half an hour.
C. It is organized on a weekend afternoon. D. It is a tradition at the Kentucky State Fair.
5 What did John mean by saying “you can’t egg it on” in paragraph 2?
A. You can’t leave it on an egg. B. You can’t motivate it to crow.
C. You can’t stop it from crowing. D. You can’t interrupt it with an egg.
6 What was Ben’s trick with his rooster?
A. He made it confused about the time. B. He showed it some chicken feed.
C. He trained it to react to the timer. D. He left it alone in a dark room.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The science behind rooster crowing B. The history of the Kentucky State Fair
C. An occasion where roosters take center stage D. A day when John Ball shows up in a contest.
C
A new, flexible film (薄膜) with tiny sensors is going to make brain surgery safer and more accurate for problems like brain tumors and severe epilepsy (癫痫). This film looks like a thin plastic sheet and is put on the brain to record how brain cells work with much better detail than what we have now, says Shadi Dayeh, the main engineer from a university in California.
The sensors on the film are very sensitive, each being much smaller than a human hair, allowing for an incredibly detailed brain map. Dr. Ahmed Raslan, a brain doctor at another university and also a maker of this film, says this new thing will make it easier to understand how the brain works during surgery. When people are awake during surgery, they do different things that make their brain work in different ways. The film’s sensors indicate which areas of the brain are active during these tasks, helping surgeons to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue.
The device has proven effective in animal studies, and in May, it received FDA approval for human trials. The development team is already working on a wireless version of the film that could be implanted for up to 30 days, potentially allowing patients with severe epilepsy to be monitored at home.
Looking ahead, the researchers imagine the film serving as a brain-computer interface for individuals who cannot communicate or move, enabling them to convert their thoughts into actions. This represents a milestone in both diagnostic capabilities and patient care, in agreement with the goals of the federal BRAIN Initiative, which aims to develop innovative tools for understanding and treating brain disorders. Despite recent funding cuts, the progress made with this sensor film is an evidence of the initiative’s success and the rapid advancement of brain technology.
8. What’s the function of the film mentioned in the text?
A. Performing brain surgery. B. Tracking the activity of brain cells.
C. Monitoring brain surgery. D. Activating the function of brain cells.
9. How does the film assist doctors according to Dr. Ahmed Raslan?
A. By keeping the patients awake.
B. By showing active parts of the brain.
C. By enhancing the efficiency of brain work.
D. By telling healthy tissue and unhealthy one.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. The ongoing development of the film.
B. The effect of the film in animal studies.
C. The potential of a cure for severe epilepsy.
D. The announcement of the development team.
11. Who might benefit directly from the film in the future?
A. The disabled with brain disorders.
B. The patients with poor mental health.
C. Those used to working with computers.
D. Those in wheelchairs yet capable of thinking.
D
Sodium dehydroacetate (SDHA脱氢乙酸钠) is a preservative, particularly effective against molds (霉菌) and yeasts (酵母菌). It has been widely used in the food industry to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, research has indicated potential health risks associated with long-term and high-dose consumption. Animal studies have suggested that SDHA can cause a decrease in food intake, weight loss, coagulation ability decline, and changes in liver and kidney tissues.
Scientific community has become increasingly concerned about its long-term health effects. It has been found that excessive (过度的) intake can lead to liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and other health issues. These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products.
In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA. For instance, the new standard GB2760-2024 in China has restricted its use in several food categories, including starch products, bread, pastries, and baking fillings, effective from February 8, 2025. This adjustment reflects a global trend where the use of SDHA is being strictly examined and limited due to potential health risks.
Faced with the new regulations, many manufacturers have to make significant changes to their preservative-based additives, taking into account not only the potential increase in production costs but also the need to upgrade their technological processes. The public, on the other hand, has shown a growing awareness and concern over food additives, which is driving the industry to develop safer and more natural preservatives. This trend is likely to influence the food additives industry’s development, as consumer preference shifts towards products with fewer and more natural additives.
12. What can be learned about SDHA from Paragraph 1?
A. It has recently been proved poisonous.
B. It can keep food fresh for a longer time.
C. It can cause animals increase food intake.
D. It has been widely used in shelf production.
13. What do the research findings cause?
A. Improvement of the SDHA use.
B. Stricter assessment of SDHA’s risk.
C. More concern about the food production.
D. Further investigation of the animals’ health.
14. Why is the new standard GB2760-2024 mentioned?
A. To stress the China’s global influence.
B. To list the food categories harmed by SDHA.
C. To show action is taken to deal with concerns.
D. To highlight the potential health risks of SDHA.
15. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Revisiting SDHA — regulations adjusted
B. Replacing SDHA — technology advanced
C. Researching SDHA — people concerned
D. Restricting SDHA — food industry panicked

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。
Sunlight flooded through the window when Tomas was sitting at the kitchen table, struggling with a literary classic. Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard.
His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, ”You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱), with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. “That’s what I miss most about Merida.”
Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot.
“But I’ve already learned a lot about this new country, Tomas,“ she said. ”For a start, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make a salsa!" She waved a packet of chili spice powder at him, and they both laughed.
Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving.
Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home-especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas’s stomach rumbled at the memories.
He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals.
He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela!
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly Tomas had an idea.

We were seven hours past sun-up, but you never would have known that on Thursday afternoon as the roosters-adult male chickens began to crow. The noise started just after 2 p. m. and by the time it stopped, the dozen or so roosters would stretch open their mouths, extend their necks and cry out more than 100 times collectively in this event, which is one of the oldest contests at the Kentucky State Fair. Kentuckians, young and old, bring their roosters to the fair to see who can crow the most in a 15-minute stretch. The winning rooster’s owner takes home a bag of chicken feed.
It was about half an hour until the crow-off began when I settled into a seat across from a small stage full of cages. That’s where I met John Ball, the fair’s crowing organizer, who talked excitedly about the whole affair to come. “The only real rules are you have to bring a rooster and that you can’t egg it on during its 15 minutes in the spotlight,” he said.
I wondered how a rooster was trained to crow in the afternoon, and fortunately, nine-year-old Ben Miller had some insight to share. When I introduced myself to him, he was already covering his rooster’s eyes gently with his hand. “Now, it thinks it’s dark,” Ben told me. Part of the trick was to make his rooster believe the sun hadn’t risen yet. That way, it would be ready to cry out as soon as it saw the light.
As I looked around, I saw that a few other roosters had joined us. One by one they were placed in the cages in front of the audience. The crowing continued for the full 15 minutes. After Ball’s timer went off, Sam Lamb, 15, and his rooster won the contest. It’d crowed 37 times, just a little more than half of the 67 crows from a few years before.
4. What can we say about the contest?
A. It centers around six roosters. B. It lasts for a total of half an hour.
C. It is organized on a weekend afternoon. D. It is a tradition at the Kentucky State Fair.
5. What did John mean by saying “you can’t egg it on” in paragraph 2?
A. You can’t leave it on an egg. B. You can’t motivate it to crow.
C. You can’t stop it from crowing. D. You can’t interrupt it with an egg.
6. What was Ben’s trick with his rooster?
A. He made it confused about the time. B. He showed it some chicken feed.
C. He trained it to react to the timer. D. He left it alone in a dark room.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The science behind rooster crowing B. The history of the Kentucky State Fair
C. An occasion where roosters take center stage D. A day when John Ball shows up in a contest.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

A new, flexible film (薄膜) with tiny sensors is going to make brain surgery safer and more accurate for problems like brain tumors and severe epilepsy (癫痫). This film looks like a thin plastic sheet and is put on the brain to record how brain cells work with much better detail than what we have now, says Shadi Dayeh, the main engineer from a university in California.
The sensors on the film are very sensitive, each being much smaller than a human hair, allowing for an incredibly detailed brain map. Dr. Ahmed Raslan, a brain doctor at another university and also a maker of this film, says this new thing will make it easier to understand how the brain works during surgery. When people are awake during surgery, they do different things that make their brain work in different ways. The film’s sensors indicate which areas of the brain are active during these tasks, helping surgeons to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue.
The device has proven effective in animal studies, and in May, it received FDA approval for human trials. The development team is already working on a wireless version of the film that could be implanted for up to 30 days, potentially allowing patients with severe epilepsy to be monitored at home.
Looking ahead, the researchers imagine the film serving as a brain-computer interface for individuals who cannot communicate or move, enabling them to convert their thoughts into actions. This represents a milestone in both diagnostic capabilities and patient care, in agreement with the goals of the federal BRAIN Initiative, which aims to develop innovative tools for understanding and treating brain disorders. Despite recent funding cuts, the progress made with this sensor film is an evidence of the initiative’s success and the rapid advancement of brain technology.
8. What’s the function of the film mentioned in the text?
A. Performing brain surgery. B. Tracking the activity of brain cells.
C. Monitoring brain surgery. D. Activating the function of brain cells.
9. How does the film assist doctors according to Dr. Ahmed Raslan?
A. By keeping the patients awake.
B. By showing active parts of the brain.
C. By enhancing the efficiency of brain work.
D. By telling healthy tissue and unhealthy one.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. The ongoing development of the film.
B. The effect of the film in animal studies.
C. The potential of a cure for severe epilepsy.
D. The announcement of the development team.
11. Who might benefit directly from the film in the future?
A. The disabled with brain disorders.
B. The patients with poor mental health.
C. Those used to working with computers.
D. Those in wheelchairs yet capable of thinking.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D

Sodium dehydroacetate (SDHA脱氢乙酸钠) is a preservative, particularly effective against molds (霉菌) and yeasts (酵母菌). It has been widely used in the food industry to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, research has indicated potential health risks associated with long-term and high-dose consumption. Animal studies have suggested that SDHA can cause a decrease in food intake, weight loss, coagulation ability decline, and changes in liver and kidney tissues.
Scientific community has become increasingly concerned about its long-term health effects. It has been found that excessive (过度的) intake can lead to liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and other health issues. These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products.
In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA. For instance, the new standard GB2760-2024 in China has restricted its use in several food categories, including starch products, bread, pastries, and baking fillings, effective from February 8, 2025. This adjustment reflects a global trend where the use of SDHA is being strictly examined and limited due to potential health risks.
Faced with the new regulations, many manufacturers have to make significant changes to their preservative-based additives, taking into account not only the potential increase in production costs but also the need to upgrade their technological processes. The public, on the other hand, has shown a growing awareness and concern over food additives, which is driving the industry to develop safer and more natural preservatives. This trend is likely to influence the food additives industry’s development, as consumer preference shifts towards products with fewer and more natural additives.
12. What can be learned about SDHA from Paragraph 1?
A. It has recently been proved poisonous.
B. It can keep food fresh for a longer time.
C. It can cause animals increase food intake.
D. It has been widely used in shelf production.
13. What do the research findings cause?
A Improvement of the SDHA use.
B. Stricter assessment of SDHA’s risk.
C. More concern about the food production.
D. Further investigation of the animals’ health.
14. Why is the new standard GB2760-2024 mentioned?
A. To stress the China’s global influence.
B. To list the food categories harmed by SDHA.
C. To show action is taken to deal with concerns.
D. To highlight the potential health risks of SDHA.
15. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Revisiting SDHA — regulations adjusted
B. Replacing SDHA — technology advanced
C. Researching SDHA — people concerned
D. Restricting SDHA — food industry panicked
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A

【16题详解】
根据前文“Most dog owners understand the importance of picking up their dogs’ waste, so it can be especially frustrating to see dog owners that obviously refuse to perform this duty.(大多数狗主人都明白捡狗屎的重要性,所以看到狗主人明显拒绝履行这一职责时,会特别令人沮丧。)”以及后文“but by asking them the right way, informing them of the risks and consequences of not picking up after their dogs, and providing them with the right collection tools, you may be able to get them to change their ways.(但是,通过询问他们正确的方式,告知他们不收拾狗屎的风险和后果,并为他们提供正确的收集工具,你可能能够让他们改变自己的方式。)”可知,此处强调让狗主人明白捡拾狗屎的重要性,可是有时候狗主人会明显拒绝这个行为。G选项“Figuring out how to convince these owners to change their ways can be difficult(弄清如何说服这些主人改变他们的方式可能很困难)”中的these owners指代前文的大多数拒绝收拾狗屎的主人,同时该选项与后文but构成转折,即虽然说服这些狗主人改变他们的方式可能很困难,可是通过正确的方式是可以让他们改变的。故该选项符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Maybe they think no one notices or that their actions don’t directly affect those around them. (也许他们认为没有人注意到,或者他们的行为不会直接影响到周围的人。)”可知,此处强调,可能很多狗主人认为没有人注意到,或者他们的行为不会直接影响到周围的人,所以这些狗主人就不会收拾狗的粪便,此处解释了狗主人不收拾粪便的原因。F选项“There are many reasons people don’t pick up after their dogs(人们不收拾狗狗的粪便有很多原因)”引起下文,人们不收拾狗狗的粪便有很多原因,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Yelling at them may make them defensive and angry. (对他们大喊大叫可能会让他们产生抵触情绪和愤怒。)”可知,此处强调不要对狗主人们大喊大叫去解决问题,这样容易产生抵触情绪。后文应该承接这样做的其他后果。D选项“And they will likely do more harm than good, too(而且它们也可能弊大于利)”承接前文,指出大喊大叫的解决方式会弊大于利,导致事情更糟糕。符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据后文“give them a reason why you want them to do so.(给他们一个你想让他们这么做的理由。)”可知,此处强调让狗主人清理狗屎的话,需要给他们一个想让他们做的理由。E选项“When you ask them to pick up their dogs’ waste(当你让他们捡起狗的粪便时)”可知,当你要让狗主人捡狗屎的时候,需要给他们一个想让他们做的理由。该选项中pick up their dogs’ waste与后文的so形成呼应,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
本空为本段段旨,根据后文“When facing someone on this issue, don’t exaggerate (夸大)the truth or make up reasons they should comply with your request.( 在这个问题上面对别人时,不要夸大事实或编造他们应该遵守你的要求的理由。)”可知,此处强调在与狗主人沟通的时候,不要夸大事实或者编造理由,而是要强调符合事实即要诚实。A选项“Be honest(要诚实)”概括本段段旨,符合语境,故选A。

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我非常幸运地穿越了苏州和南京,这两个城市都让我着迷于它们真正令人印象深刻的地方,并渴望进一步探索。动词left后接复合宾语,动词long和宾语me之间是主动关系,应用其现在分词作宾语补足语。故填longing。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了融入当地的工业氛围,我选择了一家位于“工业园区”的酒店,在这里,先进的制造业与自然美景的共存最为明显,因为它坐落在风景秀丽的湖边,周围环绕着充满活力的景观。根据句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“为了”。句首字母大写,故填To engage。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Sunlight flooded through the window when Tomas was sitting at the kitchen table, struggling with a literary classic. Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard.
His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, ”You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱), with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. “That’s what I miss most about Merida.”
Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot.
“But I’ve already learned a lot about this new country, Tomas,“ she said. ”For a start, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make a salsa!" She waved a packet of chili spice powder at him, and they both laughed.
Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving.
Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home-especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas’s stomach rumbled at the memories.
He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals.
He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela!
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。
Suddenly Tomas had an idea.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a box arrived from Mexico.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Suddenly Tomás had an idea. Why not turn to Abuela for help? Seized by the increasing eagerness to contact his grandmother, he wolfed his supper once it was ready. Right after dinner, Tomás raced to the computer before he had even had his favourite dessert, leaving his mother in curiosity. The moment he got through to his grandmother via the video chat, he lowered his voice, whispering, “Abuela, I need your help!” After Tomás poured out his idea, Abuela clapped her hands, promising, “Excellent! You’ll receive what you want!” Beside himself with joy, Tomás waved goodbye to Abuela, expectantly waiting for the package.
A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. Bubbling over with excitement, Tomás invited his mother to open the box together. Unfolding before their eyes were a sealed package of dried habanero peppers and a colorful packet of seeds. “That’s what I miss most! A taste from HOME!”, blurted out his mother, her lips curving into a broad beam and eyes glittering in amazement. Never had Tomás seen his mother so cheerful in weeks. Moments later, his mother was preparing a salsa using the peppers, chopping tomatoes and humming a merry tune. Outside the kitchen window, a big pot containing the seeds gleamed in the sunlight.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tomas一家因为父亲的工作离开了家乡,Tomas听了母亲说思念家乡的辣椒,想到他们可以每天晚上与祖母通电话,Tomas想到一个办法安慰思乡的母亲的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然Tomas有了一个想法”可知,第一段可描写Tomas与奶奶通电话寻求帮助的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,来自墨西哥的盒子到了。”可知,第二段可描写Tomas和母亲打开盒子后的情景,母亲吃惊而欣喜,非常高兴。
