However, he wasn’t relocating his family; he was shifting snails. Jenner works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet — Hawaii’s native tree snails. Once abundant like Christmas ornaments on trees, these colorful, jewel-like snails are now mostly extinct with more than half of the 750 species vanishing within the span of a human lifetime. Jenner and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources face the monumental task of saving what’s left. To beat extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, are being cared for by humans in an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu. “Most people think of pandas and tigers when they think of endangered species going extinct, but imagine having 40 different species that are all as rare as pandas.” Jenner says. This winter, one species of snail will reach a significant milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure in the mountains of Oahu, which has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural habitat. However, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails remain uncertain. Around the globe, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But with climate change and the spread of invasive species, many have no clear path back to the wild in the near term. This could mean they will remain under human care. In light of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists believe there’s no other option. “These are irreplaceable biological treasures,” Jenner says. “It is now or never. What we manage to preserve on Earth will be what the next generation can reintroduce.” 4. What does the text say about Hawaii’s tree snails? A. They live as long as humans. B. 375 species have disappeared. C. Their population has increased. D. They are close to extinction. 5. How does Lynn Jenner help endangered snails? A By restoring their habitats. B. By studying their behavior. C. By reducing invasive species. D. By moving and caring for them. 6. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To compare snails to pandas. B. To explain snails’ survival in nature. C. To stress a key snail release event. D. To describe why snails are in a trailer. 7. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Popular species should be prioritized. B. Human care is vital for endangered species. C Biodiversity conservation faces uncertainty. D. Climate change alone causes snail extinction. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是夏威夷本土树蜗牛（tree snails）濒临灭绝的现状及保护工作者Lynn Jenner通过转移和照顾这些珍稀物种来拯救它们的努力。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Once abundant like Christmas ornaments on trees, these colorful, jewel-like snails are now mostly extinct with more than half of the 750 species vanishing within the span of a human lifetime.(这些色彩斑斓、如宝石般的蜗牛曾经像圣诞树上的装饰品一样随处可见，但如今大多已灭绝，在人类生命周期内，750个物种中已有超过一半消失。)”可知，以前随处可见的蜗牛，现在大多已经灭绝，由此可知，夏威夷tree snails濒临灭绝。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Lynn Jenner quickly packed up and drove to higher ground as Hurricane Hone approached in 2024. However, he wasn’t relocating his family; he was shifting snails.(2024年，随着飓风霍恩的逼近，林恩·詹纳迅速收拾好物品，驱车前往地势较高的地方。然而，他并不是在转移家人，而是在转移蜗牛。)”以及第二段中的“Jenner and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources face the monumental task of saving what’s left.(詹纳与夏威夷土地和自然资源部的团队面临着拯救剩余物种的艰巨任务。)”和第三段中的“To beat extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, are being cared for by humans in an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu.(为了对抗灭绝，40种蜗牛——每种大约一毛硬币大小——正在由人类在檀香山附近一个不起眼的拖车中照料。)”可知，他的主要工作是通过移动和照料这些蜗牛来帮助它们生存。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This winter, one species of snail will reach a significant milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure in the mountains of Oahu, which has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural habitat.(今年冬天，一种蜗牛将迎来一个重要的里程碑。它将被释放到欧胡岛山区的一个特殊围栏中，这个围栏经过精心准备，旨在为蜗牛在其自然栖息地中提供最佳的生存机会。)”可知，第四段描述了一种蜗牛即将被释放到欧胡岛山区的特殊围栏中，并提到这是为蜗牛提供最佳生存机会的重要里程碑事件，由此可知，这段的目的是强调这一关键的蜗牛释放活动。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读尾段尤其是尾段中的““These are irreplaceable biological treasures,” Jenner says. “It is now or never. What we manage to preserve on Earth will be what the next generation can reintroduce.”(“这些是不可替代的生物瑰宝，”詹纳说道。“现在不行动就再也没有机会了。我们设法在地球上保存下来的东西，将是下一代能够重新引入的内容。”)”可知，面对生物多样性危机，许多野生动物学家认为没有其他选择，只能通过人类的照顾来保护濒危物种，由此可知，人类的照料对濒危物种至关重要。故选B项。 C If humans attempt to establish communities on the moon or other planets, what will they eat? A new experiment has begun to determine if meat cells can grow in space. Even on Earth, growing meat from cells is challenging. Cow cells(though any animal’s meat could be used) are fed essential nutrients like amino acids and carbohydrates. These cells multiply until muscle tissue forms, eventually creating consumable meat through a process called “cultivation(培养)”. This method involves growing meat in tanks that resemble brewery setups more than traditional farms, bypassing the life-cycle of animals raised for meat— birth, life and kill. “Animal cells grow slowly,” explains David Humbird, a chemical engineer. “If bacteria were to get into the cultivation, it would multiply more rapidly than the animal cells, effectively taking over and halting animal cell production. You end up with a culture of bacteria instead, which is useless and must be discarded.” he adds. Humbird further clarifies that cells cultivated on consumable materials primarily consist of sugar, amino acids and water. Consequently, the caloric value of these lab-grown cells will always be lower than the input materials. At the best case one could probably recover 25% of the calories for consumption. This raises the question: “why transport all those calories into space just to waste 75% of them?” Karen Nyberg, a former astronaut, emphasizes the crucial role of food in space missions. “Food like powdered milk and that sort of thing comes as a regular source for astronauts, but space-grown meat is a novelty we lack. Any advancement in this area significantly boosts our morale and eases our pressure.” For extended missions away from Earth, access to fresh produce becomes essential for maintaining crew health. Indeed, if humanity intends to establish a presence on Mars, how to provide astronauts with nutrient-rich food that doesn’t spoil— and tastes good— is a crucial yet complex puzzle that must be addressed. 8. What is a key challenge in cell-based meat production? A. High cost of nutrients. B. Difficulty in keeping tanks. C. Lack of suitable cells. D. Slow cell growth rate. 9. What does David Humbird think of growing meat in space? A. It is resource inefficient. B. It is promising. C. It is cost-effective. D. It is unethical. 10. Why does Karen support growing meat in space? A. It reduces the cost of transporting food from Earth. B. It provides diverse food choices for astronauts. C. It facilitates long-term medical development. D. It tastes much better than powdered milk. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Will Lab-grown Meat Help Feed Astronauts? B. Will Astronauts like Cell-Cultured Meat? C. Food Revolution: From Tube to Table D. The Rise of Bioengineered Food 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了在空间中培养肉类的可能性、挑战以及对宇航员的意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段的句子““Animal cells grow slowly,” explains David Humbird, a chemical engineer. “If bacteria were to get into the cultivation, it would multiply more rapidly than the animal cells, effectively taking over and halting animal cell production. You end up with a culture of bacteria instead, which is useless and must be discarded.” he adds.(“动物细胞生长缓慢，”化学工程师大卫·汉伯德解释说。“如果细菌进入培养皿，它会比动物细胞繁殖得更快，有效地接管并停止动物细胞的生产。你最终得到的是细菌培养物，这是无用的，必须被丢弃。他补充道)”可知，细胞生长缓慢是细胞培养肉生产的一个关键挑战。故选 D 项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子“Humbird further clarifies that cells cultivated on consumable materials primarily consist of sugar, amino acids and water. Consequently, the caloric value of these lab-grown cells will always be lower than the input materials. At the best case one could probably recover 25% of the calories for consumption. This raises the question: “why transport all those calories into space just to waste 75% of them?”(Humbird进一步阐明，在可消耗材料上培养的细胞主要由糖、氨基酸和水组成。因此，这些实验室培养的细胞的热值总是低于输入材料。在最好的情况下，可能可以恢复25%的卡路里消耗。这就提出了一个问题：“为什么把所有这些卡路里都送到太空，却浪费了其中的75%呢？”)”可知，David Humbird认为在太空中培养肉会浪费75%的卡路里，因此这是资源低效的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段的句子“Food like powdered milk and that sort of thing comes as a regular source for astronauts, but space-grown meat is a novelty we lack. Any advancement in this area significantly boosts our morale and eases our pressure.(像奶粉这样的食物是宇航员的常规食物来源，但太空种植的肉类是我们所缺乏的。这方面的任何进展都能极大地鼓舞我们的士气，减轻我们的压力。)” 可知，Karen支持在太空中培养肉，因为它能提供多样化的食物选择，从而提升宇航员的士气和减轻压力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章主要探讨了在空间中培养肉类的可能性、挑战以及对宇航员的意义。根据第一段的句子“If humans attempt to establish communities on the moon or other planets, what will they eat? A new experiment has begun to determine if meat cells can grow in space.(如果人类试图在月球或其他星球上建立社区，他们将吃什么？一项新的实验已经开始确定肉细胞是否可以在太空中生长。)” 和最后一段的句子“Indeed, if humanity intends to establish a presence on Mars, how to provide astronauts with nutrient-rich food that doesn’t spoil— and tastes good— is a crucial yet complex puzzle that must be addressed.(事实上，如果人类打算在火星上定居，如何为宇航员提供营养丰富、不变质、味道鲜美的食物，是一个必须解决的关键而复杂的难题。)” 可知，文章的核心问题是实验室培养的肉类是否能帮助宇航员进食。所以，用A项“Will Lab-grown Meat Help Feed Astronauts?(实验室培育的肉类能养活宇航员吗？)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选 A 项。 D The next time you’re feeling down or frustrated with the world, consider whether you’ve really been dealt a poor hand. That’s one key conclusion from a recent study on entitlement, a personality characteristic marked by exaggerated (夸张的) sense of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to ongoing disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that individuals with high levels of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get what they think they deserve, leaving them more likely to have unmet expectations. Those unfulfilled expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people keep telling themselves they are special. While this temporarily boosts their mood, it ultimately starts the cycle anew. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also often struggle with poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “Entitlement is largely about competition— being better or more deserving than others,” she told Health.com. “It really sets individuals at odds with society, leading to isolation.” “It’s challenging for true narcissists (自恋者) to recognize their own behavior, or change their mindset.” Exline admits. However, she believes that for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be managed. “Conditioning yourself to think about others and what they deserve — and also being willing to acknowledge your own faults and weaknesses — can help foster better connections with others.” she suggests. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are negative or unhealthy: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting what we truly deserve just to be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self that is causing annoyance or conflict with others, it’s definitely worth trying to address. 12. What does the underlined part “you’ve really been dealt a poor hand” in Paragraph1 mean? A. You’re bad at playing cards. B. You’re unable to handle emotions. C. You indeed face unfortunate circumstances. D. You should complain more about your situation. 13. Which statement reflects an entitled person’s mindset? A. “Deadlines don’t apply to me — I’m too important.” B. “I’m grateful and will contribute to my team.” C. “I always listen to others’ opinions.” D. “I’m willing to work my way up.” 14. How does the entitlement cycle affect emotions? A. It increases aggression. B. It constantly boosts mood. C. It causes frequent frustration. D. It enhances emotional stability. 15. What does Exline suggest entitled people do? A. Seek approval for their superiority. B. Blame their faults on external factors. C. Admit their mistakes and value others. D. Take full responsibility for all outcomes. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是关于特权感如何导致持续失望及其对情绪和人际关系的影响，并提供应对建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句子前的“The next time you’re feeling down or frustrated with the world(下次当你感到沮丧或对世界感到失望时)”可知，自己感到沮丧或者对世界感到失望的时刻，也就人们可能遭遇了不幸，结合下文的“That’s one key conclusion from a recent study on entitlement, a personality characteristic marked by exaggerated (夸张的) sense of deservingness and superiority.(这是最近一项关于“特权感”的研究得出的一个关键结论。特权感是一种人格特征，表现为夸大的应得感和优越感。)”可知，此处描述的是特权感的一种人格特征，表现为夸大的应得感和优越感，由此可知，此处应是建议思考是否真的遭遇了不幸，而不是一味地认为自己受到了不公。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“First, they don’t always get what they think they deserve, leaving them more likely to have unmet expectations. Those unfulfilled expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people keep telling themselves they are special. While this temporarily boosts their mood, it ultimately starts the cycle anew.(首先，他们并不总是能得到自己认为应得的东西，这使得他们的期望更可能无法实现。这些未满足的期望随后被视为不公，导致愤怒和悲伤等情绪。最后，为了证明这些情绪的合理性，有特权感的人不断告诉自己他们是特别的。虽然这暂时提升了他们的情绪，但最终又重新开启了这一循环。)”可知，具有特权感的人通常认为自己比别人更特殊、更有资格，甚至可能无视规则或他人的需求，由此可知，具有特权感的人会认为自己很重要。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“First, they don’t always get what they think they deserve, leaving them more likely to have unmet expectations. Those unfulfilled expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people keep telling themselves they are special. While this temporarily boosts their mood, it ultimately starts the cycle anew.(首先，他们并不总是能得到自己认为应得的东西，这使得他们的期望更可能无法实现。这些未满足的期望随后被视为不公，导致愤怒和悲伤等情绪。最后，为了证明这些情绪的合理性，有特权感的人不断告诉自己他们是特别的。虽然这暂时提升了他们的情绪，但最终又重新开启了这一循环。)”可知，当特权感的人的期望没有得到满足时，他们将这种未达预期视为个人不公，从而产生愤怒和悲伤的情绪，为了证明这些情绪，他们暂时强化自己的特殊感，但这只会重新开始循环，由此可知，整个过程会让有特权感的人频繁感到沮丧和失望。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““Conditioning yourself to think about others and what they deserve — and also being willing to acknowledge your own faults and weaknesses — can help foster better connections with others.” she suggests.(她建议：“训练自己去思考他人以及他们应得的东西——同时愿意承认自己的错误和弱点——有助于与他人建立更好的联系。”)”可知，Exline建议特权者承认自己的错误并重视他人。故选C项。 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。 An AI-generated image posted online shows a modern-day Donald Trump hugging late Elvis Presley tightly. Upon seeing those funny but mindless pictures, people seem to be drawn into a strange circle. They can’t help but repeatedly view similar pictures and enjoy the process, as if addicted. You could say that this is harmless. But what is it adding to the world? ___16___ The term has been named Oxford’s Word of the Year 2024. Brain rot is when someone’s mental or intellectual state gets worse, especially as a result of overconsuming low-quality, low-value online content, which is considered trivial. ___17___ Initially gaining attraction on social media platform, brain rot is now seeing more widespread use. The term increased in usage frequency by 230% between 2023 and 2024. ___18___ As Oxford University Press notes on its website, the first recorded use of brain rot is found in Thoreau’s 1854 book Walden. Thoreau criticizes society’s tendency to devalue (使贬值) ideas. ___19___ “While England tries to cure the potato rot, will no effort be made to cure the brain rot, which is much more widespread and deadly?” The line between our digital and real lives has faded over time — arguably for the worse. ___20___ The best thing we can do is see this blended existence as life itself, and know that whatever feeling we are dealing with is a version of what Thoreau dealt with 170 years ago. Only slightly more stupid. A. Now it is all but gone. B. This content causes “brain rot”. C. He sees it as a sign of mental decline. D. Online-offline distinction strengthens over time. E. It originates in meaningless and soulless content. F. Though seemingly modern “brain rot” dates back to Henry David Thoreau. G.

She wasn’t strong enough to lift them herself, but she could at least help drag them into place. The machine chattered noisily while it carried the bales up to the hayloft, where Callie’s dad stacked them. All was quiet when Callie went inside to feed the horses. But as she filled the water buckets, she thought she heard a faint meow from the hayloft. She climbed the steps to the loft and listened. The sound seemed to be coming from behind the bales. She ran to get her dad and Briggs. Briggs cocked his head. “It’s coming from outside,” he determined. “Just a bird in a tree.” Callie’s dad agreed. “How do you know for sure?” Callie said. “I guess we’ve just got better ears than you,” Briggs joked. But Callie wasn’t convinced. She checked the hayloft again after supper. “Are you stuck in there, kitty?” she said, pressing an ear to the bales. Callie raced back to the house. “I heard it again, Dad! Will you please listen once more?” “All right, Cal,” her dad said, turning off the TV. “I’ll go check while you get ready for bed.” A few minutes later, Dad poked his head into Callie’s room. “The only thing I heard out there was a screech owl,” he said. “So stop worrying.” “OK, Dad,” Callie said. “Thanks for checking.” But she woke in the night thinking about what she’d heard. What if a kitten was trapped behind the bales? She lay on her back, wondering what to do. Finally, she grabbed a flashlight and crept into the barn. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight’s beam toward the ladder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight's beam toward the ladder. Her heart pounding, Callie climbed up to the hayloft. She moved carefully between the hay bales, listening intently. Suddenly, she heard a faint meow coming from a far corner. Excited but cautious, Callie inched her way towards the sound, moving hay bales aside one by one. As she neared the source, the meowing grew louder and more desperate. Finally, behind the last bale, she spotted a tiny black and white kitten, its eyes wide with fear. Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. She cradled it gently in her arms, the little kitten shivering all over. It snuggled against her, seemingly relieved to be found. Callie carefully made her way down the ladder and rushed back to the house. She woke her father and brother, proudly showing them the kitten and explaining how she had trusted her instincts. Her family was amazed and proud of her persistence. She decided to name the kitten“Lucky” and vowed to care for it until they could find its owner or, if necessary, give it a permanent home on their farm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以寻找小猫为线索展开，讲述了Callie在帮助父亲和哥哥做农活的时候，听到小猫的叫声，但哥哥和父亲却说听到的是鸟叫声，但是Callie后来又听到了小猫的叫声，而父亲认为听到的是猫头鹰的叫声，让Callie不用担心，但是半夜醒来后，Callie仍然不放心地去谷仓看看并发现一只小猫的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一进谷仓，她就把手电筒的光束照向梯子。”可知，第一段可描写Callie进入谷仓后怎么做的，又发现了什么。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，Callie从草垛的角落里抱起了受惊的小猫。”可知，第二段可描写Callie发现的小猫的情况以及Callie接下来又是怎么做的。 2.续写线索：进入谷仓——听到猫叫——发现小猫——抱回屋内——家人感受——最后决定 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①(心脏)跳动：pound/beat ②缓慢前行：inch one’s way/move slowly ③快速返回：rush back to/return rapidly to/dash back 情绪类 ①受惊吓的： scared /frightened ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Lynn Jenner quickly packed up and drove to higher ground as Hurricane Hone approached in 2024. However, he wasn’t relocating his family; he was shifting snails. Jenner works with some of the rarest endangered species on the planet — Hawaii’s native tree snails. Once abundant like Christmas ornaments on trees, these colorful, jewel-like snails are now mostly extinct with more than half of the 750 species vanishing within the span of a human lifetime. Jenner and his team with Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources face the monumental task of saving what’s left. To beat extinction, 40 species of snails, each about the size of a dime, are being cared for by humans in an unremarkable trailer near Honolulu. “Most people think of pandas and tigers when they think of endangered species going extinct, but imagine having 40 different species that are all as rare as pandas.” Jenner says. This winter, one species of snail will reach a significant milestone. It will be released in a special enclosure in the mountains of Oahu, which has been painstakingly prepared to give the snails the best chance of survival in their natural habitat. However, the outlook for Hawaii’s snails remain uncertain. Around the globe, plants and animals are being brought into enclosure as a last-ditch effort against extinction. But with climate change and the spread of invasive species, many have no clear path back to the wild in the near term. This could mean they will remain under human care. In light of the biodiversity crisis, many wildlife biologists believe there’s no other option. “These are irreplaceable biological treasures,” Jenner says. “It is now or never. What we manage to preserve on Earth will be what the next generation can reintroduce.” 4. What does the text say about Hawaii’s tree snails? A. They live as long as humans. B. 375 species have disappeared. C. Their population has increased. D. They are close to extinction. 5. How does Lynn Jenner help endangered snails? A. By restoring their habitats. B. By studying their behavior. C. By reducing invasive species. D. By moving and caring for them. 6. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To compare snails to pandas. B. To explain snails’ survival in nature. C. To stress a key snail release event. D. To describe why snails are in a trailer. 7. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A.

C If humans attempt to establish communities on the moon or other planets, what will they eat? A new experiment has begun to determine if meat cells can grow in space. Even on Earth growing meat from cells is challenging. Cow cells(though any animal’s meat could be used) are fed essential nutrients like amino acids and carbohydrates. These cells multiply until muscle tissue forms, eventually creating consumable meat through a process called “cultivation(培养)”. This method involves growing meat in tanks that resemble brewery setups more than traditional farms, bypassing the life-cycle of animals raised for meat— birth, life and kill. “Animal cells grow slowly,” explains David Humbird, a chemical engineer. “If bacteria were to get into the cultivation, it would multiply more rapidly than the animal cells, effectively taking over and halting animal cell production. You end up with a culture of bacteria instead, which is useless and must be discarded.” he adds. Humbird further clarifies that cells cultivated on consumable materials primarily consist of sugar, amino acids and water. Consequently, the caloric value of these lab-grown cells will always be lower than the input materials. At the best case one could probably recover 25% of the calories for consumption. This raises the question: “why transport all those calories into space just to waste 75% of them?” Karen Nyberg, a former astronaut, emphasizes the crucial role of food in space missions. “Food like powdered milk and that sort of thing comes as a regular source for astronauts, but space-grown meat is a novelty we lack. Any advancement in this area significantly boosts our morale and eases our pressure.” For extended missions away from Earth, access to fresh produce becomes essential for maintaining crew health. Indeed, if humanity intends to establish a presence on Mars, how to provide astronauts with nutrient-rich food that doesn’t spoil— and tastes good— is a crucial yet complex puzzle that must be addressed. 8. What is a key challenge in cell-based meat production? A. High cost of nutrients. B. Difficulty in keeping tanks. C. Lack of suitable cells. D. Slow cell growth rate. 9. What does David Humbird think of growing meat in space? A. It is resource inefficient. B. It is promising. C. It is cost-effective. D. It is unethical. 10. Why does Karen support growing meat in space? A. It reduces the cost of transporting food from Earth. B. It provides diverse food choices for astronauts. C. It facilitates long-term medical development. D. It tastes much better than powdered milk. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Will Lab-grown Meat Help Feed Astronauts? B. Will Astronauts like Cell-Cultured Meat? C. Food Revolution: From Tube to Table D. The Rise of Bioengineered Food D The next time you’re feeling down or frustrated with the world, consider whether you’ve really been dealt a poor hand. That’s one key conclusion from a recent study on entitlement, a personality characteristic marked by exaggerated (夸张的) sense of deservingness and superiority. Entitlement may lead to ongoing disappointment, say researchers from Case Western Reserve University. The authors reached these conclusions after analyzing more than 170 academic papers. They found that individuals with high levels of entitlement consistently fall victim to a three-part cycle: First, they don’t always get what they think they deserve, leaving them more likely to have unmet expectations. Those unfulfilled expectations are then perceived as injustices, leading to emotions like anger and sadness. Finally, to justify those emotions, entitled people keep telling themselves they are special. While this temporarily boosts their mood, it ultimately starts the cycle anew. At extreme levels, entitled people repeatedly expose themselves to the risk of feeling frustrated and disappointed with life. They also often struggle with poor relationships, interpersonal conflicts, and depression, says co-author Julie Exline, PhD, a professor of psychological sciences at Case Western Reserve. “Entitlement is largely about competition— being better or more deserving than others,” she told Health.com. “It really sets individuals at odds with society, leading to isolation.” “It’s challenging for true narcissists (自恋者) to recognize their own behavior, or change their mindset.” Exline admits. However, she believes that for many well-intentioned people, feelings of entitlement can be managed. “Conditioning yourself to think about others and what they deserve — and also being willing to acknowledge your own faults and weaknesses — can help foster better connections with others.” she suggests. We should be also aware that not all feelings of entitlement are negative or unhealthy: We shouldn’t just lower our standards or stop expecting what we truly deserve just to be happier. But if you do notice that you’ve developed an overblown sense of self that is causing annoyance or conflict with others, it’s definitely worth trying to address. 12. What does the underlined part “you’ve really been dealt a poor hand” in Paragraph1 mean? A. You’re bad at playing cards. B. You’re unable to handle emotions. C. You indeed face unfortunate circumstances. D. You should complain more about your situation. 13. Which statement reflects an entitled person’s mindset? A. “Deadlines don’t apply to me — I’m too important.” B. “I’m grateful and will contribute to my team.” C. “I always listen to others’ opinions.” D. “I’m willing to work my way up.” 14. How does the entitlement cycle affect emotions? A. It increases aggression. B. It constantly boosts mood. C. It causes frequent frustration. D. It enhances emotional stability. 15. What does Exline suggest entitled people do? A. Seek approval for their superiority. B. Blame their faults on external factors. C. Admit their mistakes and value others. D. Take full responsibility for all outcomes. 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。 An AI-generated image posted online shows a modern-day Donald Trump hugging late Elvis Presley tightly.

She wasn’t strong enough to lift them herself, but she could at least help drag them into place. The machine chattered noisily while it carried the bales up to the hayloft, where Callie’s dad stacked them. All was quiet when Callie went inside to feed the horses. But as she filled the water buckets, she thought she heard a faint meow from the hayloft. She climbed the steps to the loft and listened. The sound seemed to be coming from behind the bales. She ran to get her dad and Briggs. Briggs cocked his head. “It’s coming from outside,” he determined. “Just a bird in a tree.” Callie’s dad agreed. “How do you know for sure?” Callie said. “I guess we’ve just got better ears than you,” Briggs joked. But Callie wasn’t convinced. She checked the hayloft again after supper. “Are you stuck in there, kitty?” she said, pressing an ear to the bales. Callie raced back to the house. “I heard it again, Dad! Will you please listen once more?” “All right, Cal,” her dad said, turning off the TV. “I’ll go check while you get ready for bed.” A few minutes later, Dad poked his head into Callie’s room. “The only thing I heard out there was a screech owl,” he said. “So stop worrying.” “OK, Dad,” Callie said. “Thanks for checking.” But she woke in the night thinking about what she’d heard. What if a kitten was trapped behind the bales? She lay on her back wondering what to do. Finally, she grabbed a flashlight and crept into the barn. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight’s beam toward the ladder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
