Shan Xinghua is an extraordinary woman. Recently, it was reported that she has received a significant honor. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee has awarded her the title of “Role Model of the Times”.
She is widely recognized as the “Super Brain” behind 12306, which is the crucial railway ticket booking system in China. She has been committed to the research and development of China’s railway ticketing system for more than 20 years. She has presided over the research on railway transportation organization, passenger service, revenue management theory and technology, and led her team to build 12306 system into a super large real-time ticketing system with leading global trading volume, which has made outstanding contributions to the digital and intelligent development of China’s railway.

When 12306 was initially introduced, especially during the busy Spring Festival travel season, the system often faced breakdowns. For instance, in 2012, numerous people trying to purchase tickets overloaded the system. However, Shan Xinghua was not discouraged. She led her team to explore novel solutions. They adopted advanced techniques like asynchronous transaction queuing. As a result, the system has evolved and can now manage a massive volume of ticket transactions daily.
Furthermore, passengers are now able to select their preferred seats and complete ticket purchases via their mobile phones. There are also additional features such as combined air and rail travel options.
Shan Xinghua has dedicated countless hours and immense energy to this project. She frequently worked long shifts and sacrificed time with her family. Her dedication and intelligence have revolutionized train travel in China, making it far more accessible and convenient. She serves as an inspiring role model for us all.
24.What makes Shan Xinghua “Super Brain”?
A.Leading the research team.
B.Fixing computer breakdowns.
C.Meeting travel season challenges.
D.Expanding railway ticketing system.
25.Which challenge did 12306 face when first introduced?
A.Lack of combined air and rail travel.
B.Inability to support mobile phone transactions.
C.Difficulty in training users to operate the system.
D.Collapse of the system during peak travel seasons.
26.What is the feature of the improved 12306?
A.Novel and costly. B.Secure and profitable.
C.Convenient and efficient. D.Reliable and sustainable.
27.What can we learn from Shan Xinghua’s story?

There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don’t think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish (虾虎鱼) and the shrimp (虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it’s still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.
28.How can an elephant help an olive baboon?
A.By offering a shelter. B.By digging a waterhole.
C.By guiding the way. D.By warning it of danger.
29.What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?
A.It never swims far from its home. B.It goes home from time to time.
C.It stays close to the goby fish. D.It uses its antenna for directions.
30.What do the olive baboon and the chital deer have in common?
A.They have good eyesight. B.They have a good sense of smell.
C.They warn their friends of danger. D.They live together with their friends.
31.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Best friends forever B.The International Day of Friendship
C.Love me, love my dog D.Friendships in the animal world

Restaurants can persuade customers to choose healthier foods by adjusting the font size of numbers attached to nutritional information on menus, according to a study headed by Ruiying Cai, an assistant professor at Washington State University. “When restaurants use a larger font (字体) size for the calorie content of healthy foods, and even though the number itself has a smaller value, it will increase consumers’ preference to order the healthier item,” Cai said.
For the study, participants were asked to choose between a less healthy item like a smoked beefburger and a healthier option like a grilled chicken sandwich. They were then randomly assigned to two groups. In the first group, number values and font size rose and fell together. In the second group, the relationship between the numbers’ value and their size was incongruent (不一致的), meaning the font size became smaller as the number values rose while the font size got bigger as the number values fell. The results showed that participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large fonts, were more likely to lean toward the healthier option.
The study is based on the “Stroop effect,” which is described as a delay in reaction time related to stimuli (刺激). For example, if the word “purple” is written in green font, it takes respondents longer to call out which color they’re seeing than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its actual value—as when the number 50 is in a larger font than the number 80. Such mismatch emphasized lower numbers and slightly slowed customers’ decision-making processes, guiding them toward healthier menu options.
“Restaurants have an interest in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. “However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect, as people may assume ‘healthy’ food does not taste good. By promoting changing font sizes, we’re trying to provide restaurants with subtle cues, rather than saying it out loud.”
32.What does Cai’s study focus on?
A.Various fonts of menus. B.Restaurants’ marketing strategies.
C.Customers’ eating choices. D.Nutritional value of healthy foods.
33.In terms of research design, the two groups of participants differed in ________.
A.food preferences B.food types provided
C.whether the calorie content of food was given D.whether number values and font size matched
34.What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.An explanation of the study results. B.Supporting evidence for the study results.
C.A suggestion for future studies. D.Potential application of the study findings.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Healthy labels can’t lead to healthy choices. B.Customers may prefer taste over health.
C.Healthy food may not be widely available. D.Large fonts will replace healthy labels.

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。
Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36 Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences.
With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37 It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace.
38 But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.
Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39 If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.
Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40
A.It’s necessary to make early plans.
B.However, we must realize that life changes.
C.This promotes a great sense of achievement.
D.Patience may not always give us what we want.
E.Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger.
F.Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration.
G.With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully.

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。
Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around. “Grandma is seriously ill,” the text read. “We need your help in assisting with her care.”
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
“Tony!” she called to me from her bed, “It’s so good to see you!”
“Grandma,” I sighed, “I’m not Tony, That’s dad, your son. I’m Hank.”
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house — cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits.
Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone’s spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my childhood would somehow help get grandma’s memory of me back, if just for a moment.
Stews (炖菜), chops (排骨), roasts — I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn’t taking grandma out for a walk in her wheel chair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn’t work at all.

Shan Xinghua is an extraordinary woman. Recently, it was reported that she has received a significant honor. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee has awarded her the title of “Role Model of the Times”.
She is widely recognized as the “Super Brain” behind 12306, which is the crucial railway ticket booking system in China. She has been committed to the research and development of China’s railway ticketing system for more than 20 years. She has presided over the research on railway transportation organization, passenger service, revenue management theory and technology, and led her team to build 12306 system into a super large real-time ticketing system with leading global trading volume, which has made outstanding contributions to the digital and intelligent development of China’s railway.
Back in 1996, Shan Xinghua set off on the journey of developing this system. It was a tough road filled with challenges. When 12306 was initially introduced, especially during the busy Spring Festival travel season, the system often faced breakdowns. For instance, in 2012, numerous people trying to purchase tickets overloaded the system. However, Shan Xinghua was not discouraged. She led her team to explore novel solutions. They adopted advanced techniques like asynchronous transaction queuing. As a result, the system has evolved and can now manage a massive volume of ticket transactions daily.
Furthermore, passengers are now able to select their preferred seats and complete ticket purchases via their mobile phones. There are also additional features such as combined air and rail travel options.
Shan Xinghua has dedicated countless hours and immense energy to this project. She frequently worked long shifts and sacrificed time with her family. Her dedication and intelligence have revolutionized train travel in China, making it far more accessible and convenient. She serves as an inspiring role model for us all.
24.What makes Shan Xinghua “Super Brain”?
A.Leading the research team.
B.Fixing computer breakdowns.
C.Meeting travel season challenges.
D.Expanding railway ticketing system.
25.Which challenge did 12306 face when first introduced?
A.Lack of combined air and rail travel.
B.Inability to support mobile phone transactions.
C.Difficulty in training users to operate the system.
D.Collapse of the system during peak travel seasons.
26.What is the feature of the improved 12306?
A.Novel and costly. B.Secure and profitable.
C.Convenient and efficient. D.Reliable and sustainable.
27.What can we learn from Shan Xinghua’s story?

There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don’t think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish (虾虎鱼) and the shrimp (虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it’s still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.
28.How can an elephant help an olive baboon?
A.By offering a shelter. B.By digging a waterhole.
C.By guiding the way. D.By warning it of danger.
29.What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?
A.It never swims far from its home. B.It goes home from time to time.
C.It stays close to the goby fish. D.It uses its antenna for directions.
30.What do the olive baboon and the chital deer have in common?
A.They have good eyesight. B.They have a good sense of smell.
C.They warn their friends of danger. D.They live together with their friends.
31.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Best friends forever B.The International Day of Friendship
C.Love me, love my dog D.Friendships in the animal world
D
Restaurants can persuade customers to choose healthier foods by adjusting the font size of numbers attached to nutritional information on menus, according to a study headed by Ruiying Cai, an assistant professor at Washington State University. “When restaurants use a larger font (字体) size for the calorie content of healthy foods, and even though the number itself has a smaller value, it will increase consumers’ preference to order the healthier item,” Cai said.
For the study, participants were asked to choose between a less healthy item like a smoked beefburger and a healthier option like a grilled chicken sandwich. They were then randomly assigned to two groups. In the first group, number values and font size rose and fell together. In the second group, the relationship between the numbers’ value and their size was incongruent (不一致的), meaning the font size became smaller as the number values rose while the font size got bigger as the number values fell. The results showed that participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large fonts, were more likely to lean toward the healthier option.
The study is based on the “Stroop effect,” which is described as a delay in reaction time related to stimuli (刺激). For example, if the word “purple” is written in green font, it takes respondents longer to call out which color they’re seeing than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its actual value—as when the number 50 is in a larger font than the number 80. Such mismatch emphasized lower numbers and slightly slowed customers’ decision-making processes, guiding them toward healthier menu options.
“Restaurants have an interest in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. “However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect, as people may assume ‘healthy’ food does not taste good. By promoting changing font sizes, we’re trying to provide restaurants with subtle cues, rather than saying it out loud.”
32.What does Cai’s study focus on?
A.Various fonts of menus. B.Restaurants’ marketing strategies.
C.Customers’ eating choices. D.Nutritional value of healthy foods.
33.In terms of research design, the two groups of participants differed in ________.
A.food preferences B.food types provided
C.whether the calorie content of food was given D.whether number values and font size matched
34.What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.An explanation of the study results. B.Supporting evidence for the study results.
C.A suggestion for future studies. D.Potential application of the study findings.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Healthy labels can’t lead to healthy choices. B.Customers may prefer taste over health.
C.Healthy food may not be widely available. D.Large fonts will replace healthy labels.

Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36 Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences.
With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37 It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace.
38 But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.
Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39 If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.
Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40
A.It’s necessary to make early plans.
B.However, we must realize that life changes.
C.This promotes a great sense of achievement.
D.Patience may not always give us what we want.
E.Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger.
F.Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration.
G.With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully.

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。
Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around. “Grandma is seriously ill,” the text read. “We need your help in assisting with her care.”
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
“Tony!” she called to me from her bed, “It’s so good to see you!”
“Grandma,” I sighed, “I’m not Tony, That’s dad, your son. I’m Hank.”
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house — cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits.

W: Yep, I get it. So what is the point of doing this job?
M: The point really is the connection you make with your audience. When you make a tiny movement they tend to explode with laughter. And it’s that interaction between the audience and the performer that’s really what it’s all about.
W: And what is the secret of being a good living statue?
M: Firstly, never try and perform on an empty stomach. If you get hungry, you can start to feel light-headed, so you always need to eat something first. Well, good stomach muscles are key, too. You need to have them to hold those positions.

There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don’t think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.
An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.
In the sea world, the goby fish (虾虎鱼) and the shrimp (虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it’s still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.
The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.
28.How can an elephant help an olive baboon?
A.By offering a shelter. B.By digging a waterhole.
C.By guiding the way. D.By warning it of danger.
29.What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?
A.It never swims far from its home. B.It goes home from time to time.
C.It stays close to the goby fish. D.It uses its antenna for directions.
30.What do the olive baboon and the chital deer have in common?
A.They have good eyesight. B.They have a good sense of smell.
C.They warn their friends of danger. D.They live together with their friends.
31.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Best friends forever B.The International Day of Friendship
C.Love me, love my dog D.Friendships in the animal world
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.C 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大自然中互相帮助的友好动物。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty.(大象用它的门牙在沙子上挖一个水坑,当它口渴的时候,它让东非狒狒从这口“井”里喝水。)”可知,一只大象通过挖个水坑,让狒狒喝水,以此来帮助东非狒狒。故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“You see, the goby has great eyesight (视力) and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna(须) from time to time to make sure it's still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.(你看,虾虎鱼有很好的视力,且离虾保持很近。当虾四处移动时,虾不时用它的须感觉到虾虎鱼,以确保它还在那里。如果虾虎鱼感觉到危险,它会回到住所,虾也会跟着。)”可知,当虾在海里游动时,它离虾虎鱼保持很近。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.(作为回报,当危险来临的时候,狒狒会告诉大象。它爬上树梢大声叫喊,让它的朋友知道是时候离开了。)”和最后一段中的“And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.(作为回报,当猴子从树上下来的时候,鹿会重重地放下它的脚,来告诉猴子它是否感觉到危险。)”可知,东非狒狒和花鹿的共同点是,它们会警告它们的朋友有危险。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.( 看看这些在自然界中互相帮助的友好动物吧。)”以及下文所讲述的三对动物之间的友谊可知,本文介绍了动物界的友谊,故D项“Friendships in the animal world(动物世界的友谊)”可作本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D
Restaurants can persuade customers to choose healthier foods by adjusting the font size of numbers attached to nutritional information on menus, according to a study headed by Ruiying Cai, an assistant professor at Washington State University. “When restaurants use a larger font (字体) size for the calorie content of healthy foods, and even though the number itself has a smaller value, it will increase consumers’ preference to order the healthier item,” Cai said.
For the study, participants were asked to choose between a less healthy item like a smoked beefburger and a healthier option like a grilled chicken sandwich. They were then randomly assigned to two groups. In the first group, number values and font size rose and fell together. In the second group, the relationship between the numbers’ value and their size was incongruent (不一致的), meaning the font size became smaller as the number values rose while the font size got bigger as the number values fell. The results showed that participants in the second group, who saw low calorie counts printed in large fonts, were more likely to lean toward the healthier option.
The study is based on the “Stroop effect,” which is described as a delay in reaction time related to stimuli (刺激). For example, if the word “purple” is written in green font, it takes respondents longer to call out which color they’re seeing than if the word and the color match. Similarly, the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its actual value—as when the number 50 is in a larger font than the number 80. Such mismatch emphasized lower numbers and slightly slowed customers’ decision-making processes, guiding them toward healthier menu options.
“Restaurants have an interest in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said. “However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect, as people may assume ‘healthy’ food does not taste good. By promoting changing font sizes, we’re trying to provide restaurants with subtle cues, rather than saying it out loud.”
32.What does Cai’s study focus on?
A.Various fonts of menus. B.Restaurants’ marketing strategies.
C.Customers’ eating choices. D.Nutritional value of healthy foods.
33.In terms of research design, the two groups of participants differed in ________.
A.food preferences B.food types provided
C.whether the calorie content of food was given D.whether number values and font size matched
34.What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.An explanation of the study results. B.Supporting evidence for the study results.
C.A suggestion for future studies. D.Potential application of the study findings.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Healthy labels can’t lead to healthy choices. B.Customers may prefer taste over health.
C.Healthy food may not be widely available. D.Large fonts will replace healthy labels.
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.A 35.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,该研究关注了通过在菜单上以不同方式和字体展示食物卡路里值以影响消费者对健康食物的选择。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段首句“Restaurants can persuade customers to choose healthier foods by adjusting the font size of numbers attached to nutritional information on menus, according to a study headed by Ruiying Cai, an assistant professor at Washington State University.(华盛顿州立大学助理教授Ruiying Cai领导的一项研究表明,餐馆可以通过调整菜单上营养信息的字体大小来说服顾客选择更健康的食物。)”可知,Cai领导的研究是关于通过调整菜单上营养信息的字体大小来影响顾客选择更健康的食物,由此推知,Cai的研究重点应该是如何影响顾客的饮食选择。故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据题第二段“In the first group, number values and font size rose and fell together. In the second group, the relationship between the numbers’ value and their size was incongruent…(在第一组中,数值和字体大小同时上升和下降。在第二组中,数字的值与其大小之间的关系并不一致……)”可知,第一组数值与字体大小同步变化,第二组不一致(如低卡路里大字体),因此可知,两组实验设计的差异在于数值与字体是否匹配。故选D项。
34.主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“The study is based on the ‘Stroop effect’, which is described as a delay in reaction time related to stimuli.(这项研究基于“Stroop效应”,指的是与刺激相关的反应时间延迟。)”和尾句“Such mismatch emphasized lower numbers and slightly slowed customers' decision-making processes, guiding them toward healthier menu options.(这种不匹配强调了较低的数值,并略微减缓了顾客的决策过程,引导他们选择更健康的菜单。)”可知,该段首句提及了该研究结果使用的原理,同时在后文详细解释了该原理在该研究中的具体应用。因此可知,该段主要是关于对研究结果的解释。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect, as people may assume ‘healthy’ food does not taste good.(然而,简单地给食物贴上健康的标签可能不会产生预期的效果,因为人们可能会认为‘健康的’食物味道不好。)”可知,只是给食物贴上健康标签不一定产生预期的效果,因为人们可能认为“健康的”食物味道不好,由此推知,顾客可能会更偏重味道而非健康。故选B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。
Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36 Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences.
With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37 It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace.
38 But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.
Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39 If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.
Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40
A.It’s necessary to make early plans.
B.However, we must realize that life changes.
C.This promotes a great sense of achievement.
D.Patience may not always give us what we want.
E.Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger.
F.Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration.
G.With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully.
【答案】36.E 37.F 38.D 39.B 40.G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章强调耐心是一种美德,能培养内在力量和明智判断,帮助我们冷静面对挑战,专注于长期目标。耐心让我们在挫折中保持乐观,改善人际关系,减少冲动和愤怒。感恩和接受变化是耐心的关键。耐心虽需努力培养,但能让生活更美好。
36.上文“In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions.(在一个常常让人感到匆忙和要求苛刻的世界里,能够冷静等待并容忍延迟的能力,真的赋予了我们做出明智决策的力量。)”提到耐心能让我们冷静等待,避免冲动决策,E项“保持耐心可以帮助我们避免因愤怒而采取行动。”符合语境,进一步说明耐心如何帮助我们避免因愤怒而做出错误行为,与上下文逻辑紧密相连。故选E。
37.前文“With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan.(有了耐心,我们能够以冷静的头脑应对挑战。它帮助我们专注于长期目标,而不是短期的挫折。事情并不总能按计划进行。)”说明了耐心的现实意义,有耐心让我们冷静面对挑战,专注长期目标,F项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”引出耐心的另一个现实意义——耐心并不总能让我们得到想要的结果,但即便如此,它依然能帮助我们保持积极的心态,与下文“It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic.( 但它赋予了我们保持乐观的力量和决心。)”形成对比和呼应。故选F。
38.由下文的转折“But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.(但我们仍然可以保持冷静、平和和快乐。耐心在我们与他人的互动中发挥着最重要的作用。有了耐心,我们不会轻易对别人发火。我们会努力收集更多信息,寻找解决方案。)”可推断,空处总结上文提到的耐心在面对挑战时的作用,即帮助我们更好地应对挫折和困难,因此推断D项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”与下文是转折关系。故选D。
39.前文“Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient.(耐心的另一个关键是感恩。而不是专注于我们现在想要什么,我们专注于感激我们已经拥有的。当我们感激我们所拥有的,我们提高了耐心的能力。)”此句引出耐心与接受生活变化之间的关系,因此推断B项“然而,我们必须认识到生活是变化的。”与下文“But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.(但如果你接受生活的保证之一就是变化,你就会放松下来。)”接受变化能减少不耐烦形成因果关系,说明耐心与接受现实之间的联系。故选B。
40.此句为最后一句,总结全文,呼应开头“Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment.(耐心是一种美德,因为它能培养内心的力量和健全的判断力。)”耐心是一种美德,强调耐心带来的积极影响,即让生活变得更加美好。因此推断G项“有了耐心,你会发现生活会变得更加美好。”符合语境,故选G。

Similarly, by the end of 2022, designers 59 (restore) the Bamboo Craft village near Chengdu, preserving the construction traditions to build an extremely 60 (impress) roof. Seen from above, the shape of this building is like a figure “8” or the infinity sign“∞”.

【答案】
56. located 57. incredibly 58.and 59. had restored 60. impressive 61.which/that 62.with 63. inviting 64.richness 65.an
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国农村被遗弃的房产正在复苏,并介绍了三家独特的酒店,这些酒店结合了传统中国设计和现代生活的丰富元素,为游客提供了难忘的体验和完美的度假胜地。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:以下三家引人注目的酒店都位于中国偏远的城镇,远离城市的喧嚣。分析句子可知,“Each ________ (locate) in remote Chinese towns”是独立主格结构,locate(把……安置在/建造于)是非谓语动词,逻辑主语Each与located之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填located。
57.考查副词。句意:江西省的江西婺源天净沙古民居驿站,原本是一座被忽视的拥有 300 年历史的豪宅,在保留其地方建筑特色 “天井”(一种狭窄高耸的庭院,能将阳光引入室内)的同时,令人难以置信地恢复了昔日的辉煌,还引入了现代舒适元素。提示词修饰动词restored,用副词incredibly作状语,意为“令人难以置信地”。故填incredibly。
58.考查连词。句意:江西省的婺源天净沙古民居驿站,原本是一座被忽视的拥有 300 年历史的豪宅,在保留其地方建筑特色 “天井”(一种狭窄高耸的庭院,能将阳光引入室内)的同时,令人难以置信地恢复了昔日的辉煌,还引入了现代舒适元素。根据句意,maintaining its regional architectural feature tian jing和introducing elements of modern comfort是并列关系,用连词and连接。故填and。
59.考查时态和语态。句意:到 2022 年底,设计师们已经修复了成都附近的竹艺村,保留了建筑传统,建造了一个令人印象极其深刻的屋顶。分析句子可知,restore(修复)是句中谓语动词,与主语designers之间是主动关系,根据时间状语by the end of 2022可知,动作发生在“过去的过去”,应使用过去完成时态。故填had restored。
60.考查形容词。句意:到 2022 年底,设计师们已经修复了成都附近的竹艺村,保留了建筑传统,建造了一个令人印象极其深刻的屋顶。提示词作定语,修饰名词roof,用形容词impressive,意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
61.考查定语从句。句意:浙江省的树蛙部落特色是房屋被一片竹林环绕,为游客提供舒适的私人空间。分析句子可知,“______ are surrounded by a sea of bamboo trees”是限制性定语从句,先行词是houses,指物,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which或 that引导,故填 which或that。
62.考查介词。句意:浙江省的树蛙部落特色是房屋被一片竹林环绕,为游客提供舒适的私人空间。这里考查provide...with...,是固定搭配,意为“给……提供……”。故填with。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:值得注意的是,自由形态的屋顶模仿了自然流畅的线条,优雅地将绿色景观引入私人空间。invite在句中是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语the free-form roof之间是主动关系,用现在分词表示主动。故填inviting。
64.考查名词。句意:这些酒店将中国传统设计的魅力与现代生活的丰富性相结合,一定会为您提供一次难忘的体验和一次完美的度假之旅。提示词作宾语,与名词charm是并列关系,用名词richness,意为“丰富”,为不可数名词,符合句意。故填richness。
65.考查冠词。句意:这些酒店将中国传统设计的魅力与现代生活的丰富性相结合,一定会为您提供一次难忘的体验和一次完美的度假之旅。可数名词experience在句中表示“(一次难忘的)经历”,为可数名词,表泛指,unforgettable发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around. “Grandma is seriously ill,” the text read. “We need your help in assisting with her care.”
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
“Tony!” she called to me from her bed, “It’s so good to see you!”
“Grandma,” I sighed, “I’m not Tony, That’s dad, your son. I’m Hank.”
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house — cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits.
Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone’s spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my childhood would somehow help get grandma’s memory of me back, if just for a moment.
Stews (炖菜), chops (排骨), roasts — I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn’t taking grandma out for a walk in her wheel chair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn’t work at all.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I decided to make something simple.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name — my actual name.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then I decided to make something simple. What came to my mind was a sandwich. When I was a child, my grandma always made me a sandwich for breakfast. It was the most delicious sandwich in the world. Since then, I have dreamt about being a chef. The sandwich made by my grandma has two layers, the first layer with ham, and the second layer with vegetable salad. So I made a sandwich the way my grandmother did. Then I gave it to my grandma, hoping it could help her remember me.
After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name-my actual name. I was so excited that I hugged her, saying “Finally, you remember me!” “My dear, you come back. I miss you so much.” My grandma said happily with tears rolling down her face. In the following days, I accompanied my grandma and took care of her. Soon she recovered. It is not only the sandwich but also grandma’s love for me that helps her recover.
