Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) This year’s United Nations Prize for Research in the Life Sciences（UNPRLS）goes to a Chinese scientist, Tu Youyou, for the discovery of artemisinin（青蒿素）and its use in the treatment of malaria（疟疾）—a medical advance that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world. Tu’s pioneering work on malaria began on May 23, 1967 when the Chinese government started a program aimed at finding a cure for the deadly disease. Tu combed the Chinese traditional medicine texts for possible treatments, and by 1972, had made 380 extracts（提取物）from 200 herbs. Her team then tested the extracts one by one on the malaria-infected mice. One of the extracts from Qinghao—or sweet wormwood—sharply reduced malaria growth in the animals. At a March 1972 meeting of the project’s key participants, Tu reported that the natural plant extract wiped out the malaria in mice and monkeys. Later that year it proved effective in treating human patients. The first English-language scientific journal（期刊）mentioning successful clinical trials for artemisinin appeared in late 1979 and two years later, Tu presented her discovery at an international meeting at the World Health Organization（WHO）and it was immediately recognized as a breakthrough. In 2015, she was finally awarded the Nobel Prize for her discovery. Artemisinin is still the most powerful anti-malarial drug presently available, and an artemisinin-based drug combination is now the standard drug for the disease. The WHO lists artemisinin and related drugs in its catalog of “Essential Medicines” “It is clear that Tu’s work has saved millions of lives, particularly in the developing world, and continues to bring about long-term medical benefits in the ongoing fight against this deadly disease,” the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）prize committee writes in a statement published today. 46.

Her discovery has helped to save millions of lives in the world. 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了今年的联合国生命科学研究奖颁给了中国科学家屠呦呦，因为她的“用青蒿素治疗疟疾”这一发现拯救了全球数百万人的生命。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Tu combed the Chinese traditional medicine texts for possible treatments, and by 1972, had made 380 extracts（提取物）from 200 herbs. Her team then tested the extracts one by one on the malaria-infected mice. One of the extracts from Qinghao—or sweet wormwood—sharply reduced malaria growth in the animals.”（屠呦呦梳理了中医文献，寻找可能的治疗方法，到1972年，从200种草药中提取了380种提取物，她的团队随后在感染疟疾的老鼠身上逐个测试这些提取物，发现青蒿的提取物能显著降低动物体内疟疾的发展）可知，屠呦呦这一发现的灵感来源是她广泛阅读中医文献，故D项正确。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At a March 1972 meeting of the project’s key participants, Tu reported that the natural plant extract wiped out the malaria in mice and monkeys. Later that year it proved effective in treating human patients.”（在1972年3月该项目主要参与者的一次会议上，屠呦呦报告说，青蒿的提取物可以消除老鼠和猴子身上的疟疾，那年晚些时候，它被证明在治疗人类病人方面是有效的）及第五段中的“The first English-language scientific journal（期刊）mentioning successful clinical trials for artemisinin appeared in late 1979 and two years later, Tu presented her discovery at an international meeting at the World Health Organization（WHO）and it was immediately recognized as a breakthrough.”（1979年底，英文科学期刊首次提到青蒿素临床试验的成功，两年后，也就是1981年，屠呦呦在世界卫生组织的一次国际会议上介绍了她的发现，并立即被认为是一项突破）可知，从1972年第一次报告青蒿素可以治疗疟疾到1981年在国际上得到正式认可共历时9年的时间，故C项正确。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Artemisinin is still the most powerful anti-malarial drug presently available”可知，青蒿素仍然是目前最有效的抗疟疾药物，故B项正确。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““It is clear that Tu’s work has saved millions of lives, particularly in the developing world, and continues to bring about long-term medical benefits in the ongoing fight against this deadly disease,” the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）prize committee writes in a statement published today.”（世界教科文组织颁奖委员会在今天发表的一份声明中写道：很明显，屠呦呦的工作挽救了数百万人的生命，特别是在发展中国家，并继续为正在进行的防治这种致命疾病的斗争带来长期的医疗效益）可知，今年的联合国生命科学研究奖颁给屠呦呦是因为她的这一发现帮助拯救了世界上数百万人的生命，故D项正确。 (B) Holiday Plus Need a break?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了三个度假地点（Mountain Lodge、Pelican Resort、Cedar Lodge ）的相关信息，包括位置、价格、住宿时长、餐饮、特色活动、交通以及儿童票价等情况。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cedar Lodge的介绍“A mixture of casual atmosphere and rich rainforest surroundings for those over 25 (为 25 岁以上的人提供休闲氛围和丰富的雨林环境)”可知，Cedar Lodge不欢迎年幼的孩子，因为它明确是针对 25 岁以上的人群。故选C项。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cedar Lodge的介绍“Free bikes and tennis courts; horse-riding extra (免费自行车和网球场；骑马额外收费)”以及Mountain Lodge的介绍“Free canoeing (免费划独木舟)”可知，Cedar Lodge没有提到免费提供划独木舟，且文中说的是在Mountain Lodge免费提供划独木舟。故选D项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mountain Lodge的价格“$330”以及“Children 4 -11 years are 50%. Children 4 years and under are free (4至11岁儿童半价。4岁及以下儿童免费。)”可知，一对夫妇的费用是$330×2 = $660；12岁的双胞胎女孩费用是$330×2×100% = $660；3岁的男孩免费。所以总费用是$660 + $660 = $1320 。故选C项。 (C) Here’s the deal: you’re as hungry as a horse and you want a delicious meal from a fine restaurant, but you’re a little low on funds. So what do you do? If you happen to live in Europe, the answer is as easy as pie: you pull out your smart phone or tablet, and tap Too Good To Go, Europe’s most popular app. Approximately 23,000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost. Why all this incredible generosity? Unbelievably, one-third of the world’s food is thrown away, and nearly one billion people don’t have enough to eat. Besides, burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. That’s why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones, tablets, and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it. After a long day at work, Anne, a 34-year-old student, pulls out her smart phone and chooses a noodle dish —pasta with mushrooms. Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River, where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a spoon of free icecream, which is a reward for bringing her own container. Indeed, there are many programmes serving the same mission around the world. In America, people are using an app called Food for All. One hour before a restaurant closes, its staff can post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices. The app also allows customers to donate leftover meals to others. In the Netherlands, 77,000 people have downloaded an app called No Food Wasted. This programme allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expiration dates with customers who might need them. Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a step further. France and the Czech Republic, for example, have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocery stores from throwing away food. Instead, workers are required to donate that food to charity. So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables. The planet will thank you. 53. Why are such apps as Too Good To Go created? A. They are created to show the generosity of some eco-minded companies. B. They are created to offer delicious meals to those who live on a tight budget. C. They are created to call for people to not waste food and to reduce harmful emissions from burning wasted food. D. They are created as a publicity tool for restaurants and companies. 54. Which is not a way mentioned in the passage to save food or protect the environment? A. Make laws and regulations to ban the waste of food. B. Share products approaching their expiration dates with those who might need them. C. Post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent discounts. D. Offer consumers a free meal as the reward for bringing their own container. 55. What is this passage mainly about? A Companies are designing environment-friendly apps for poor people. B. Restaurants enable their staff to sell leftover meals at a low price on apps. C. Apps are designed to provide leftover food for people in need to choose from. D. Apps are designed to appeal to the public to treasure food and donate food to people in need. 56. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A. more methods are needed to help solve the problem of leftover food B. more applications should be created to help restaurants sell food C leftover food will pose a great danger to the environment D. the applications already designed cannot ensure a good use of leftover food 【答案】53. C 54. D 55. C 56. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了一些旨在为有需要的人提供剩余食物的应用程序。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“So what do you do? If you happen to live in Europe, the answer is as easy as pie: you pull out your smart phone or tablet, and tap Too Good To Go, Europe’s most popular app.(那么你会怎么做呢?如果你碰巧住在欧洲，答案很简单:拿出你的智能手机或平板电脑，点击欧洲最受欢迎的应用程序Too Good to Go)”及下一段“Unbelievably, one-third of the world’s food is thrown away, and nearly one billion people don’t have enough to eat. Besides, burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. That’s why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones, tablets, and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it.(令人难以置信的是，世界上三分之一的食物被扔掉了，近10亿人没有足够的食物。此外，燃烧浪费的食物释放有害的二氧化碳排放到大气中，这有助于气候变化。这就是为什么世界各地有环保意识的公司都在为手机、平板电脑和其他智能设备开发应用程序，把没吃过的食物和想要或需要它的人联系起来)”可知，Too Good To Go这样的应用是为了呼吁人们不要浪费食物，减少燃烧废弃食物产生的有害排放物。故选C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River, where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a spoon of free icecream, which is a reward for bringing her own container.(然后她去了施普雷河畔的一家餐馆，老板给她准备了晚餐，还给了她一勺免费的冰淇淋，作为对她自带容器的奖励)”可知，老板奖励Anne一勺冰淇淋，并没有提到奖励免费的一顿饭。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Here’s the deal: you’re as hungry as a horse and you want a delicious meal from a fine restaurant, but you’re a little low on funds.(事情是这样的：你饿得像一匹马，你想在一家高级餐厅吃一顿美味的饭，但你的资金有点不足)”及第二段“Approximately 23,000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost.(大约有2.3万家餐馆和食品销售商在这款应用上发布他们剩下的食物，价格是平时的一半)”及第五段“Indeed, there are many programmes serving the same mission around the world.(事实上，世界各地有许多服务于同样使命的方案)”可知，本文介绍了一些旨在为有需要的人提供剩余食物的应用程序。故选C。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables. The planet will thank you.(所以想想你没吃的蔬菜是否有更好的用途。地球会感谢你的)”可推知，文章最后一段提及自己剩余的食物也可以利用起来，因此，剩余食物的问题不仅仅反映在餐馆上，也反映在个人上，需要更多的方法来帮助解决剩余食物的问题。故选A。 Section C(8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It’s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. ____57____ Hunger kills more people per year than disease such as AIDS, malaria and TB (肺结核) combined. The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous continent. ____58____ Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat. ____59____ They include wars, droughts, floods and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessman for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008. Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. ____60____ The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat. A. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. B. There are many reasons for world hunger. C. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger. D. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger. E. Those places need far more food than they actually get. F. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat. 【答案】57. F 58. A 59. B 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过详细的数据和分析，揭示了全球饥饿问题的严重性、分布情况、成因以及可能的解决办法。 【57题详解】 根据空格前“In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It’s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.(2009年，全球饥饿人口首次达到10亿。世界上超过七分之一的人没有足够的食物，这一事实很难不让人感到震惊。)”可知，空格处的句子应该接着说食物不足造成的后果。所以，F项“By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.(到今年年底，将有超过3500万人因食物不足而死亡。)”填入空格处，符合语境，且与下文的句子“Hunger kills more people per year than disease such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined.(饥饿每年导致的死亡人数超过艾滋病、疟疾和肺结核的总和。)”是顺接关系。故选F项。 【58题详解】 根据空格前的句子“The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous continent.(联合国估计，世界上近三分之二的饥饿人口在亚洲，亚洲当然是世界上人口最多的大陆。)”和空格后的“Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people.(虽然这个地区的人口比亚洲少得多，但它的饥饿人口比例却是最高的。)”可知，此处需补充另一个饥饿人口集中的地区。A项“More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.(超过四分之一在撒哈拉以南的非洲。)”填入空格处，符合语境，补充说明了饥饿人口的分布情况。故选A项。 【59题详解】 空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“They include wars, droughts, floods and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessman for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.(它们包括战争、干旱、洪水和耕地的过度使用。所有这些因素都会影响粮食生产。许多人还指责贪婪的商人推高了全球市场上基本食品的价格。但最重要的原因，很简单，是贫困，由于2008年的金融危机，贫困最近有所增加。)”可知，该部分主要讲述的是导致世界饥饿的原因。B项“There are many reasons for world hunger.(世界饥饿有许多原因。)”填入空格处，符合语境，引出了后文对具体原因的列举。故选B项。 【60题详解】 根据空格前的句子“There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.(世界上有许多地区的民众通常拥有远超过实际所需的食物供应。)”可知，空格处的句子应该是对这些地区食物过剩情况的进一步说明。D项“In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.(在那些地方，肥胖是一个比饥饿更大的问题。)”填入空格处，符合语境，说明了这些地区食物过剩导致的问题。故选D项。 IV.

This semester, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of short-sighted students around me, coupled with a decline in physical fitness. Many students frequently fall ill and take leave, or struggle to keep up during long-distance running. The possible reasons behind this situation are multifaceted. Firstly, excessive screen time significantly contributes to eye strain and reduces physical activity. Secondly, academic pressure has led to a lack of regular exercise and sufficient sleep, further weakening students' immune systems. To address these issues, I suggest that the school implement a series of measures. These could include organizing more outdoor activities to reduce screen time and introducing mandatory physical education classes focused on enhancing overall fitness. I sincerely hope that the schooltake action to improve the current situation.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) This year’s United Nations Prize for Research in the Life Sciences（UNPRLS）goes to a Chinese scientist, Tu Youyou, for the discovery of artemisinin（青蒿素）and its use in the treatment of malaria（疟疾）—a medical advance that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world. Tu’s pioneering work on malaria began on May 23, 1967 when the Chinese government started a program aimed at finding a cure for the deadly disease. Tu combed the Chinese traditional medicine texts for possible treatments and by 1972, had made 380 extracts（提取物）from 200 herbs. Her team then tested the extracts one by one on the malaria-infected mice. One of the extracts from Qinghao—or sweet wormwood—sharply reduced malaria growth in the animals. At a March 1972 meeting of the project’s key participants, Tu reported that the natural plant extract wiped out the malaria in mice and monkeys. Later that year it proved effective in treating human patients. The first English-language scientific journal（期刊）mentioning successful clinical trials for artemisinin appeared in late 1979 and two years later, Tu presented her discovery at an international meeting at the World Health Organization（WHO）and it was immediately recognized as a breakthrough. In 2015, she was finally awarded the Nobel Prize for her discovery. Artemisinin is still the most powerful anti-malarial drug presently available, and an artemisinin-based drug combination is now the standard drug for the disease. The WHO lists artemisinin and related drugs in its catalog of “Essential Medicines” “It is clear that Tu’s work has saved millions of lives particularly in the developing world, and continues to bring about long-term medical benefits in the ongoing fight against this deadly disease,” the Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization（UNESCO）prize committee writes in a statement published today. 46. What has served as the major inspiration for Tu’s discovery？ A. The English-language scientific journals. B. Exchanges with scientists at international meetings. C. Her malaria-fighting experience in the developing countries. D. Her extensive reading of the Chinese traditional medicine books. 47. How long has it taken Tu to get her first official international recognition of her achievement? A. About 6 years. B. About 7 years. C. About 9 years. D. About 43 years. 48. What can we know about the artemisinin？ A. It has to be taken from the natural plants in China. B. It is still the most effective drug in curing malaria. C. It must be combined with other drugs for treatment. D. It is the only anti-malarial medicine used in the world. 49. Why was Tu given this year’s UNPRLS according to the UNESCO prize committee？ A. Her pioneering work has rid the world of malaria. B. Her drug has promoted the use of natural herbs. C. Her team discovered artemisinin and tested it successfully. D. Her discovery has helped to save millions of lives in the world. (B) Holiday Plus Need a break? Choose from these three wonderful holidays!

So what do you do? If you happen to live in Europe, the answer is as easy as pie: you pull out your smart phone or tablet, and tap Too Good To Go, Europe’s most popular app. Approximately 23,000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost. Why all this incredible generosity? Unbelievably, one-third of the world’s food is thrown away, and nearly one billion people don’t have enough to eat. Besides, burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. That’s why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones, tablets, and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it. After a long day at work, Anne, a 34-year-old student, pulls out her smart phone and chooses a noodle dish —pasta with mushrooms. Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River, where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a spoon of free icecream, which is a reward for bringing her own container. Indeed, there are many programmes serving the same mission around the world. In America, people are using an app called Food for All. One hour before a restaurant closes, its staff can post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices. The app also allows customers to donate leftover meals to others. In the Netherlands, 77,000 people have downloaded an app called No Food Wasted. This programme allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expiration dates with customers who might need them. Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a step further. France and the Czech Republic, for example, have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocery stores from throwing away food. Instead, workers are required to donate that food to charity. So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables. The planet will thank you. 53. Why are such apps as Too Good To Go created? A. They are created to show the generosity of some eco-minded companies. B. They are created to offer delicious meals to those who live on a tight budget. C. They are created to call for people to not waste food and to reduce harmful emissions from burning wasted food. D. They are created as a publicity tool for restaurants and companies. 54. Which is not a way mentioned in the passage to save food or protect the environment? A. Make laws and regulations to ban the waste of food. B. Share products approaching their expiration dates with those who might need them. C. Post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent discounts. D Offer consumers a free meal as the reward for bringing their own container. 55. What is this passage mainly about? A. Companies are designing environment-friendly apps for poor people. B. Restaurants enable their staff to sell leftover meals at a low price on apps. C. Apps are designed to provide leftover food for people in need to choose from. D. Apps are designed to appeal to the public to treasure food and donate food to people in need. 56. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A. more methods are needed to help solve the problem of leftover food B. more applications should be created to help restaurants sell food C. leftover food will pose a great danger to the environment D. the applications already designed cannot ensure a good use of leftover food Section C(8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It’s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. ____57____ Hunger kills more people per year than disease such as AIDS, malaria and TB (肺结核) combined. The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous continent. ____58____ Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat. ____59____ They include wars, droughts, floods and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessman for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008. Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. ____60____ The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat. A. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. B. There are many reasons for world hunger. C. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger. D. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger. E. Those places need far more food than they actually get. F. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat. IV.
