Since I turned 13, a bunch of red roses would be delivered to my home every New Year’s Day. There was never a card or note accompanying them. The cash purchase made in vain my effort to uncover the mysterious sender. But I never quit.
My father often joined me in my imaginings. He would contribute some ideas like — if there was someone to whom I’d done a special kindness and who might be expressing gratitude. Maybe it was the neighbor I’d assisted when she was unloading a car full of groceries. Or perhaps it was the playmate with whom I spent a memorable childhood. But I’d have more fun, as a teenage girl, assuming it might be a boy I had crush on or who harbored feelings for me.
When I was 17, I tried out for the cheerleading team but failed. That night, I cried myself to sleep, feeling like a complete loser. The next morning, when I woke up to have breakfast, I noticed a beautiful, shiny crown placed on the table. Next to it was a note written in my dad’s familiar handwriting. It said, “The queen will not weep over her fallen crown.” I stared at it for so long.
One month before my high school graduation, my mom suddenly passed away due to a heart attack. I was overcome with grief, a sense of abandonment, fear, and intense anger. I lost all enthusiasm for my upcoming graduation, the senior class play, and the prom (舞会) — events I had been working hard for and looking forward to.
But my dad, despite his own grief, wouldn’t let me miss out on any of those things. The day before the prom, I found a beautiful dress — in the perfect size — hanging over the living room sofa.
Years later, my dad passed away when I was 23, just ten days after my wedding. That was the year red roses stopped coming to me on New Year’s Day.
24. Who did the author expect the sender to be the most?
A. Her father who was loving. B. The playmate in her childhood.
C. A boy having affection for her. D. The one she gave a special favor.
25. Why did Dad give the author a crown when she lost the tryout in paragraph 3?
A. To be the best father. B. To comfort and encourage her.
C. To stop her from crying. D. To show the result is unfair.
26. What words can best describe Dad’s love for the author?
A. Enormous but strange. B. Deep but reserved.
C. Strong but impatient. D. Deep but unreasonable.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Mystery of the Red Rose B. Great Power of the Red Rose
C. The Road to a Queen D. My Growth with Dad’s Company
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者成长过程中父亲默默的爱与陪伴。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But I’d have more fun, as a teenage girl, assuming it might be a boy I had crush on or who harbored feelings for me.(但作为一个十几岁的女孩,我会更有乐趣地假设,它可能是一个我暗恋的男孩,或者一个对我有感情的男孩)”可知,作者最期待送花人是一个喜欢她的男孩。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When I was 17, I tried out for the cheerleading team but failed. That night, I cried myself to sleep, feeling like a complete loser. The next morning, when I woke up to have breakfast, I noticed a beautiful, shiny crown placed on the table. Next to it was a note written in my dad’s familiar handwriting. It said, “The queen will not weep over her fallen crown.”(我17岁的时候,参加了啦啦队选拔,但失败了。那天晚上,我哭着睡着了,觉得自己是个彻头彻尾的失败者。第二天早上,当我醒来吃早餐时,我注意到桌子上放着一个漂亮、闪亮的皇冠。旁边是一张用我父亲熟悉的笔迹写的纸条。上面写着:“女王不会为她的王冠陨落而哭泣”)”可推知,爸爸在作者选拔失败后给了她一个皇冠是为了安慰和鼓励她。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章中父亲在作者 13 岁起每年送红玫瑰却不留名,在作者遇到挫折时给予鼓励和支持,在作者妈妈去世后尽管自己悲痛仍不让作者错过重要活动,从这些可以看出父亲对作者的爱是深沉的且不轻易表露的,是含蓄的。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文及第一段“Since I turned 13, a bunch of red roses would be delivered to my home every New Year’s Day. There was never a card or note accompanying them.(从我13岁起,每年新年都会有一束红玫瑰送到我家。从来没有卡片或纸条)”以及最后一段“Years later, my dad passed away when I was 23, just ten days after my wedding. That was the year red roses stopped coming to me on New Year’s Day.(几年后,我爸爸在我23岁的时候去世了,就在我结婚10天后。那一年,新年那天红玫瑰不再送到我这里)”可知,作者从13岁起每年元旦收到红玫瑰,一直想找出送花者,中间穿插了作者成长中父亲对她的关爱,最后父亲去世红玫瑰不再出现,全文围绕红玫瑰展开,故A项“红玫瑰之谜”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。
C
“The Art of the Brick”, a touring exhibition currently in Berlin, is the work of Nathan Sawaya, a former lawyer. His chosen medium? Lego bricks.
Lego did not begin with plastic. Its founder, Ole Kirk Kristiansen, started the firm in 1932 as a maker of wooden toys to form its name. He patented (获得专利) his plastic bricks in 1958. Two years on, after a fire destroyed its wooden-toy storehouse, Lego chose to use only plastic bricks.
Over the past 20 years, the company’s profit has grown ten times, reaching $9.7 billion in 2023. In 2023 it opened 147 shops around the world, taking its total to 1,031. Sales in the first half of 2024 were up by 13%, year on year, even as the global toy market contracted.
Can the toymaker maintain its success? “We need to stay connected with kids and adults,” says Niels Christiansen, Lego’s CEO. New sets keep coming; nearly half the products in its range in 2023 were released that year. The firm also makes more than 140complicated sets, some with thousands of pieces, for adult fans of Lego, who now account for one-fifth of sales,
But competing with the online world for time is hard. On average, American children aged 8-12 spend 4-6 hours a day watching screens of various types, from smartphones to televisions, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. That is why in 2022 Lego invested in a partnership with Epic Games to build “engaging digital experiences for kids of all ages”. Their arrangement has proved a big success.
So far, Lego’s attempts to find a green alternative to plastic, the company’s other big challenge, have been less successful. Still, Mr. Christiansen plans to make bricks entirely from sustainable material by 2032. Lego has started producing some pieces with a new plastic made with renewable energy and recycled material. Renewable resin (树脂) is up to 60% dearer than plastic made of fossil fuel, but Mr. Christiansen says he is prepared to absorb the cost. By buying lots of it, he hopes to create a market for the material and push its cost down. He intends to reduce Lego’s carbon footprint by 37% by 2032 and be carbon neutral (中和) by 2050.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了乐高公司的建立及如何通过一系列努力和改革应对市场挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Over the past 20 years, the company’s profit has grown ten times, reaching $9.7 billion in 2023. In 2023 it opened 147 shops around the world, taking its total to 1,031. Sales in the first half of 2024 were up by 13%, year on year, even as the global toy market contracted.(在过去的20年里,公司的利润增长了10倍,2023年将达到97亿美元。2023年,它在全球开设了147家门店,总数达到1031家。尽管全球玩具市场contracted,但2024年上半年的销售额同比增长了13%)”可知,乐高公司在过去20年里,业绩一直快速攀升。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“Sales in the first half of 2024 were up by 13%, year on year(但2024年上半年的销售额同比增长了13%)”可知,2024年乐高业绩再次攀升。划线词前的even as可引导让步状语从句,表示前后之间的转折关系,强调了全球市场与乐高情况相反;根据前文乐高销售额一直上涨,因此可以推断出全球的市场在缩小或缩水。划线词意为“缩水”,故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We need to stay connected with kids and adults,(我们需要与孩子和成年人保持联系)”及第五段中的“That is why in 2022 Lego invested in a partnership with Epic Games to build ‘engaging digital experiences for kids of all ages’.(这就是为什么乐高在2022年投资与Epic Games合作,‘为所有年龄段的孩子打造引人入胜的数字体验’)”可知,乐高致力于守住孩子和成人这两个主要的客户群体。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Still, Mr. Christiansen plans to make bricks entirely from sustainable material by 2032. Lego has started producing some pieces with a new plastic made with renewable energy and recycled material. Renewable resin (树脂) is up to 60% dearer than plastic made of fossil fuel, but Mr. Christiansen says he is prepared to absorb the cost. By buying lots of it, he hopes to create a market for the material and push its cost down. He intends to reduce Lego’s carbon footprint by 37% by 2032 and be carbon neutral (中和) by 2050.(尽管如此,克里斯蒂安森仍计划到2032年完全用可持续材料制造砖块。乐高已经开始用一种由可再生能源和回收材料制成的新塑料生产玩具。可再生树脂比由化石燃料制成的塑料贵60%,但克里斯蒂安森说,他准备承担成本。通过大量购买,他希望为这种材料创造一个市场,并降低其成本。他打算到2032年将乐高的碳足迹减少37%,到2050年实现碳中和)”可知,Mr. Christiansen对乐高公司的环保计划充满决心。故选C项。
D
If current global trends are correct, in 2025, about 41 million people around the world will die from noncommunicable (非传染的) diseases (NCDs) —which include cancer, heart disease, severe mental illness and so on — representing around 74 percent of all deaths globally.
Fortunately, a number of recent studies in cities across the globe suggest that people who live in greener areas not only present a lower rate of NCDs but also have significantly better physical and mental health.
What is it about green spaces that provides resistance to NCDs? Greater opportunities to exercise, cleaner air, and less heat stress are all reasons. Importantly, there is also scientific evidence that shows that when we directly interact with nature, biochemical pathways are activated in our bodies that result in significant beneficial health impacts.
The good news is that we can obtain similar health benefits in urban green spaces and with indoor plants. Clinical experiments show that something as simple as having a vase of unscented (无香味的) roses on your desk, for instance, can significantly lower your blood pressure and bring about physiological and psychological calming. So too can having leafy plants in your home and office.
According to the clinical experiments, when we breathe in a scent we don’t just breathe it out again: Instead, some of the molecules (分子) that create the smell, called volatile organic compounds (挥发性有机化合物), pass across the lung and into our blood. People who walk in scented forests for two hours, for example, have been shown to have significantly high levels of the scent compound in their blood. Once in our blood, these compounds interact with our biochemical pathways in similar ways to drugs, bringing about positive health outcomes.
This new body of clinical evidence means that, in 2025, doctors will increasingly prescribe (开处方) nature instead of prescribing drugs. Urban planners, on other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as replaceable. Instead, nature will be seen as part of the critical system of a healthy city.
32. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 1?
A. To present NCDs are far from urgent.
B. To show NCDs are growing into a killer.
C. To illustrate NCDs have claimed many lives.
D. To demonstrate NCDs include a wide range of diseases.
33. How can one avoid NCDs from the passage?
A. By working out indoors. B. By purifying surrounding air.
C. By handling stress smartly. D. By taking walks in parks.
34. What happens when we breathe in a scent?
A. Its molecules make little difference to our body.
B. Its molecules work with biochemical pathways.
C. Its molecules only travel from one organ to another.
D. Its molecules can turn into some kind of medicine.
35. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Doctors should prioritize green plants as treatment.
B. Doctors should value the application of clinical experiments.
C. City planners should construct more urban parks and gardens.
D. City planners should co-work with doctors.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C

(如果目前全球趋势正确的话,到2025年,全球大约4100万人将死于非传染性疾病(NCDs)——包括癌症、心脏病、严重精神疾病等——占全球总死亡人数的74%左右。)”可知,作者在第一段列出数字是为了表明非传染性疾病正在成为一个杀手。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Fortunately, a number of recent studies in cities across the globe suggest that people who live in greener areas not only present a lower rate of NCDs but also have significantly better physical and mental health. (幸运的是,全球多个城市最近的研究表明,居住在更绿色地区的人不仅非传染性疾病的发病率较低,而且身心健康状况也明显更好。)”以及第三段中“What is it about green spaces that provides resistance to NCDs? Greater opportunities to exercise, cleaner air, and less heat stress are all reasons. (绿地究竟具备哪些特性,使其能够抵御NCDs呢?更多的锻炼机会、更清新的空气以及更少的热应激,这些都是原因所在。)”可知,通过在公园散步可以避免非传染性疾病。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Once in our blood, these compounds interact with our biochemical pathways in similar ways to drugs, bringing about positive health outcomes. (一旦进入我们的血液,这些化合物就会以与药物相似的方式与我们的生化途径相互作用,带来积极的健康结果。)”可知,当我们吸入一种气味时,它的分子会与生化途径相互作用。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Urban planners, on other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as replaceable. Instead, nature will be seen as part of the critical system of a healthy city. (另一方面,城市规划者将不再认为绿色空间是可以替代的。相反,自然将被视为健康城市关键系统的一部分。)”可知,作者会同意城市规划者应该建造更多的城市公园和花园。故选C。
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。
If your sights are set on achieving specific financial goals in 2025 and you’re determined to be more purposeful with your spending to get there, it might be highly recommended to launch a “low-buy period”. ___36___
Should you decide to give the low-buy approach a try, the first crucial step is to clearly define your motivation. Without a well-thought-out reason, attempting to change your existing spending patterns is likely to be a short-lived effort. You may quickly find yourself losing focus or running out of motivation. ___37___ It could be as straightforward as paying off credit card debt, or boosting your savings or investment capacity, like saving 10, 000 dollars per year.
Once you’ve identified your purpose, the next step is to establish a practical time frame. You can start small. It’s wise to begin with a relatively short period, like a week or a month. This allows you to ease into the process and get a feel for it. As you become more comfortable, you can always extend the duration of your low-buy period. ___38___ These serve as check-in points where you can assess your progress and celebrate small victories. These mini-achievements can provide the motivation needed to keep you on track.
___39___ For instance, if experiences are what you cherish, don’t completely remove purchasing event tickets. ___40___ Focus on a few events that you’re genuinely excited about or choose more affordable seating options. The key is to direct your spending towards things that offer high value and bring you genuine pleasure. Avoid restricting your spending merely for the sake of restriction; instead, make intentional choices in line with your values and financial goals.
A. You need to mind your choices, instead.
B. Along the way, it’s essential to set landmarks.
C. It’s of great importance for you to avoid the following traps.
D. The possible drivers for you to step forward could vary widely.
E. This approach could be a game-changer for your financial well-being.
F. Lastly, sometimes you need to go beyond restrictions to make progress.
G. Finally, take the time to determine what weighs most for your spending.
【答案】36. E 37. D 38. B 39. G 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在新的一年合理规划支出,理性消费。
【36题详解】
上文“If your sights are set on achieving specific financial goals in 2025 and you’re determined to be more purposeful with your spending to get there, it might be highly recommended to launch a “low-buy period”. (如果你的目标是在2025年实现具体的财务目标,并且你决心要更有目的性地花钱来实现这一目标,那么强烈建议你启动一个“低购买期”。)”表示建议启动一个“低购买期”,E选项“This approach could be a game-changer for your financial well-being. (这种方法可以改进你的财务状况。)”中的low-buy period就是指的this approach,并且game-changer强调低消费期的好处。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文提到了理性消费的动力不足问题,而下文“It could be as straightforward as paying off credit card debt, or boosting your savings or investment capacity, like saving 10, 000 dollars per year. (它可以像还清信用卡债务一样直接,或者增加你的储蓄或投资能力,比如每年节省1万美元。)”是在举例一些解决方法,D选项“The possible drivers for you to step forward could vary widely.(维持动力的方法其实有很多。)”承上启下,符合语境。故选D。
【38题详解】
根据下文“These serve as check-in points where you can assess your progress and celebrate small victories. (这些都是你可以评估你的进步和庆祝小胜利的签到点。)”可以推断出,these指代的东西具有阶段性评价的功能。B选项“Along the way, it’s essential to set landmarks.(在这个过程中,设置里程碑很重要。)”表明里程碑能够进行阶段性评价,符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】
此句属于段落主旨句。根据下文“The key is to direct your spending towards things that offer high value and bring you genuine pleasure. Avoid restricting your spending merely for the sake of restriction; instead, make intentional choices in line with your values and financial goals.(关键是要把钱花在高价值的东西上,给你带来真正的快乐。不要仅仅为了限制而限制你的支出;相反,要根据你的价值观和财务目标做出有意识的选择。)”本段着重讲述理性消费,通过衡量花费的价值,做出合理判断。G选项“Finally, take the time to determine what weighs most for your spending.(最后,花时间确定哪些是你开销中最重要的部分。)”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上下文可知,本句是过渡句。上文“For instance, if experiences are what you cherish, don’t completely remove purchasing event tickets.(例如,如果经历是你所珍惜的,不要完全取消购买活动门票。)”举例如果你重视体验,那就不要完全杜绝购买门票。下文“Focus on a few events that you’re genuinely excited about or choose more affordable seating options.(专注于一些你真正感兴趣的活动,或者选择更实惠的座位。)”则指出需要选择真正感兴趣的活动以及更有性价比的座次。由此可以推断出本句是提出解决方法。A选项“You need to mind your choices, instead. (然而,你需要注意自己的选择。)”符合语境。故选A。

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, excited to participate in the winter vacation research project. I suggest focusing on “The Consumption Behavior of Middle School Students”.
Adolescence is a critical period when students’ values are taking shape, and their consumption habits reflect this. With the booming economy, their consumption has diversified, yet issues like too much brand-chasing and impulse buying are common. This research is beneficial. It can assist students to develop healthy consumption habits.
I’m eager to carry out this meaningful project. Looking forward to your approval. Thank you!
Best regards,
Li Hua

67. 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。
It all started when the new neighbor across the street moved a Ping-Pong table down the truck and left it in his front yard. He is a college student, and if you live in a college town, you understand that a Ping-Pong table in a front yard is not just a Ping-Pong table. It’s a beer-pong table.
For those unfamiliar, beer pong involves bouncing (弹) balls into an opponent’s cup of beer, thus forcing that person to drink its contents. I wouldn’t know about it if I hadn’t spent years living next door to 27 students, the sounds of beer pong extending late into the night and early into the morning, eventually driving me and my husband away from the old house to where we live now. Of course, I’d rather not hurt anyone. But when I saw that beer-pong table, the memories of drunk and loud college students came flooding back, which reminded me of truth that all neighbors are created equal — at least in theory.
So I walked right up to the student’s house, past that stupid table, knocked on the door and told him that it had to go. I expected him to accept it and give in. Instead, he returned my anger in kind, shouting, “Who are you?” “And what gives you the right to make such a ridiculous demand?” His questions only burned me more. I opened my mouth, trying to respond but my words were caught in my throat. Instead, I stood there, my mind racing. I was so angry that I could hardly think straight. All I knew was that the peace I had fought so hard to build in our new home was at risk.
I escaped. I stormed into my house, not bothering to lock the door behind me. My husband, noticing my stormy expression, looked up from his book. “What happened?” he asked, his tone light, but I could hear the concern. I marched up there, told him the whole story.

Gathering my courage, I pressed my college neighbour’s doorbell, ready to apologize.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My husband finally put down his book, stood up, and walked over to me. “I know you’re upset,” he said, “but is this the way you want to handle it?” His question struck me hard. Suddenly, the soaring rage gradually gave way to a sense of guilt. I realized then that I’d let the past frustrations of living next to those students color my response. The truth was: this beer-pong table hadn’t really committed anything wrong. Rather, I was the one being unreasonable. With my husband’s support, I decided to make up for my mistakes, hoping for his forgiveness.
Gathering my courage, I pressed my college neighbor’s doorbell, ready to apologize. When he answered, I tried hard to keep my voice steady, took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I was haunted by my past nightmare.” The student looked at me and said, “I get it. College can get loud, and I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” I smiled, relieved by his understanding. Finally, we both agreed that being good neighbors meant respecting each other’s boundaries. All neighbors are created — you just need to understand and respect each other equally.

Since I turned 13, a bunch of red roses would be delivered to my home every New Year’s Day. There was never a card or note accompanying them. The cash purchase made in vain my effort to uncover the mysterious sender. But I never quit.
My father often joined me in my imaginings. He would contribute some ideas like — if there was someone to whom I’d done a special kindness and who might be expressing gratitude. Maybe it was the neighbor I’d assisted when she was unloading a car full of groceries. Or perhaps it was the playmate with whom I spent a memorable childhood. But I’d have more fun, as a teenage girl, assuming it might be a boy I had crush on or who harbored feelings for me.
When I was 17, I tried out for the cheerleading team but failed. That night, I cried myself to sleep, feeling like a complete loser. The next morning, when I woke up to have breakfast, I noticed a beautiful, shiny crown placed on the table. Next to it was a note written in my dad’s familiar handwriting. It said, “The queen will not weep over her fallen crown.” I stared at it for so long.
One month before my high school graduation, my mom suddenly passed away due to a heart attack. I was overcome with grief, a sense of abandonment, fear, and intense anger. I lost all enthusiasm for my upcoming graduation, the senior class play, and the prom (舞会) — events I had been working hard for and looking forward to.
But my dad, despite his own grief, wouldn’t let me miss out on any of those things. The day before the prom, I found a beautiful dress — in the perfect size — hanging over the living room sofa.
Years later, my dad passed away when I was 23, just ten days after my wedding. That was the year red roses stopped coming to me on New Year’s Day.
24. Who did the author expect the sender to be the most?
A. Her father who was loving. B. The playmate in her childhood.
C. A boy having affection for her. D. The one she gave a special favor.
25. Why did Dad give the author a crown when she lost the tryout in paragraph 3?
A. To be the best father. B. To comfort and encourage her.
C. To stop her from crying. D. To show the result is unfair.
26. What words can best describe Dad’s love for the author?
A. Enormous but strange. B. Deep but reserved.
C. Strong but impatient. D. Deep but unreasonable.
27. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Mystery of the Red Rose B. Great Power of the Red Rose
C. The Road to a Queen D. My Growth with Dad’s Company
C
“The Art of the Brick”, a touring exhibition currently in Berlin, is the work of Nathan Sawaya, a former lawyer. His chosen medium? Lego bricks.
Lego did not begin with plastic. Its founder, Ole Kirk Kristiansen, started the firm in 1932 as a maker of wooden toys to form its name. He patented (获得专利) his plastic bricks in 1958. Two years on, after a fire destroyed its wooden-toy storehouse, Lego chose to use only plastic bricks.
Over the past 20 years, the company’s profit has grown ten times, reaching $9.7 billion in 2023. In 2023 it opened 147 shops around the world, taking its total to 1,031. Sales in the first half of 2024 were up by 13%, year on year, even as the global toy market contracted.
Can the toymaker maintain its success? “We need to stay connected with kids and adults,” says Niels Christiansen, Lego’s CEO. New sets keep coming; nearly half the products in its range in 2023 were released that year. The firm also makes more than 140complicated sets, some with thousands of pieces, for adult fans of Lego, who now account for one-fifth of sales,
But competing with the online world for time is hard. On average, American children aged 8-12 spend 4-6 hours a day watching screens of various types, from smartphones to televisions, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. That is why in 2022 Lego invested in a partnership with Epic Games to build “engaging digital experiences for kids of all ages”. Their arrangement has proved a big success.
So far, Lego’s attempts to find a green alternative to plastic, the company’s other big challenge, have been less successful. Still, Mr. Christiansen plans to make bricks entirely from sustainable material by 2032. Lego has started producing some pieces with a new plastic made with renewable energy and recycled material. Renewable resin (树脂) is up to 60% dearer than plastic made of fossil fuel, but Mr. Christiansen says he is prepared to absorb the cost. By buying lots of it, he hopes to create a market for the material and push its cost down. He intends to reduce Lego’s carbon footprint by 37% by 2032 and be carbon neutral (中和) by 2050.
28. What can we learn about Lego?
A. It was named after one of its toys. B. It invented plastic bricks in the early 1950s.
C. It developed quickly in the past two decades. D. It gained profit due to the use of plastic bricks.
29. What does the underlined word “contracted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Developed. B. Shrank. C. Withdrew. D. Transformed.
30. What action has Lego taken in face of challenges?
A. It stuck closely with its major customers.
B. It established a game company to attract more children.
C. It replaced plastic with a greener and cheaper material.
D. It managed to turn into an environmentally-friendly company.
31. What is Mr. Christiansen’s attitude towards Lego’s green plan?
A. Cautious. B. Indifferent. C. Determined. D. Objective.
D
If current global trends are correct, in 2025, about 41 million people around the world will die from noncommunicable (非传染的) diseases (NCDs) —which include cancer, heart disease, severe mental illness and so on — representing around 74 percent of all deaths globally.
Fortunately, a number of recent studies in cities across the globe suggest that people who live in greener areas not only present a lower rate of NCDs but also have significantly better physical and mental health.
What is it about green spaces that provides resistance to NCDs? Greater opportunities to exercise cleaner air, and less heat stress are all reasons. Importantly, there is also scientific evidence that shows that when we directly interact with nature, biochemical pathways are activated in our bodies that result in significant beneficial health impacts.
The good news is that we can obtain similar health benefits in urban green spaces and with indoor plants. Clinical experiments show that something as simple as having a vase of unscented (无香味的) roses on your desk, for instance, can significantly lower your blood pressure and bring about physiological and psychological calming. So too can having leafy plants in your home and office.
According to the clinical experiments, when we breathe in a scent we don’t just breathe it out again: Instead, some of the molecules (分子) that create the smell, called volatile organic compounds (挥发性有机化合物), pass across the lung and into our blood. People who walk in scented forests for two hours, for example, have been shown to have significantly high levels of the scent compound in their blood. Once in our blood, these compounds interact with our biochemical pathways in similar ways to drugs, bringing about positive health outcomes.
This new body of clinical evidence means that, in 2025, doctors will increasingly prescribe (开处方) nature instead of prescribing drugs. Urban planners, on other hand, will no longer consider green spaces as replaceable. Instead, nature will be seen as part of the critical system of a healthy city.
32. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 1?
A. To present NCDs are far from urgent.
B. To show NCDs are growing into a killer.
C. To illustrate NCDs have claimed many lives.
D. To demonstrate NCDs include a wide range of diseases.
33. How can one avoid NCDs from the passage?
A. By working out indoors. B. By purifying surrounding air.
C. By handling stress smartly. D. By taking walks in parks.
34. What happens when we breathe in a scent?
A. Its molecules make little difference to our body.
B. Its molecules work with biochemical pathways.
C. Its molecules only travel from one organ to another.
D. Its molecules can turn into some kind of medicine.
35. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Doctors should prioritize green plants as treatment.
B. Doctors should value the application of clinical experiments.
C. City planners should construct more urban parks and gardens.
D. City planners should co-work with doctors.

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。
If your sights are set on achieving specific financial goals in 2025 and you’re determined to be more purposeful with your spending to get there, it might be highly recommended to launch a “low-buy period”. ___36___
Should you decide to give the low-buy approach a try, the first crucial step is to clearly define your motivation. Without a well-thought-out reason, attempting to change your existing spending patterns is likely to be a short-lived effort. You may quickly find yourself losing focus or running out of motivation. ___37___ It could be as straightforward as paying off credit card debt, or boosting your savings or investment capacity, like saving 10, 000 dollars per year.
Once you’ve identified your purpose, the next step is to establish a practical time frame. You can start small. It’s wise to begin with a relatively short period, like a week or a month. This allows you to ease into the process and get a feel for it. As you become more comfortable, you can always extend the duration of your low-buy period. ___38___ These serve as check-in points where you can assess your progress and celebrate small victories. These mini-achievements can provide the motivation needed to keep you on track.
___39___ For instance if experiences are what you cherish, don’t completely remove purchasing event tickets. ___40___ Focus on a few events that you’re genuinely excited about or choose more affordable seating options. The key is to direct your spending towards things that offer high value and bring you genuine pleasure. Avoid restricting your spending merely for the sake of restriction; instead, make intentional choices in line with your values and financial goals.
A. You need to mind your choices, instead.
B. Along the way, it’s essential to set landmarks.
C. It’s of great importance for you to avoid the following traps.
D. The possible drivers for you to step forward could vary widely.
E. This approach could be a game-changer for your financial well-being.
F. Lastly, sometimes you need to go beyond restrictions to make progress.
G. Finally, take the time to determine what weighs most for your spending.

67. 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。
It all started when the new neighbor across the street moved a Ping-Pong table down the truck and left it in his front yard. He is a college student and if you live in a college town, you understand that a Ping-Pong table in a front yard is not just a Ping-Pong table. It’s a beer-pong table.
For those unfamiliar, beer pong involves bouncing (弹) balls into an opponent’s cup of beer, thus forcing that person to drink its contents. I wouldn’t know about it if I hadn’t spent years living next door to 27 students, the sounds of beer pong extending late into the night and early into the morning, eventually driving me and my husband away from the old house to where we live now. Of course, I’d rather not hurt anyone. But when I saw that beer-pong table, the memories of drunk and loud college students came flooding back, which reminded me of truth that all neighbors are created equal — at least in theory.
