In the heart of the Baihe National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, approximately 1,700 wild Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys live happily in their natural habitat. Protecting them day and night are committed rangers.
Leading this effort is Tang Yulin, 56, the team leader of the Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Research and Monitoring Center. His family has a long history with the reserve. His granduncle was one of the first staff members when the reserve was established in 1963, and his father also worked there. Inspired by their dedication, Tang Yulin became a third-generation forest ranger in 1990 at the age of 22.
In his early years, the reserve lacked electricity, and the rough mountain terrain (地形) made patrols difficult. Tang Yulin would wake up at 3:30 am, prepare his meals in the dark, and start his patrols at 4 am to observe the monkeys before they woke up. He spent nearly 200 days each year in the mountains, often building temporary shelters when he couldn't return the same day. Over time, he became an expert on the reserve's plants and animals, helping researchers with their work.
In recent years, the reserve's infrastructure has improved, making patrols easier. The monkeys have also become more comfortable around humans, with over 140 research monkeys relocated to lower-altitude areas near rivers, where they now thrive. Today, the reserve has the highest density of these monkeys in the country, making it a perfect place to observe them in the wild.
Inspired by Tang Yulin, his nephew Tang Xiaogang became a ranger in 2019, continuing the family's legacy as fourth-generation guardians. “Seeing the monkeys thrive here is my greatest honor,” Tang Yulin says. “A bond of trust has formed between us.” In the misty mountains, Tang Yulin and his team work tirelessly to protect the harmony between nature and humanity for future generations.
4. What is Tang Yulin's main responsibility in the Baihe National Nature Reserve?
A. To promote tourism in the reserve.
B. To observe and protect the golden snub-nosed monkeys.
C. To conduct scientific research on plants.
D. To manage the reserve's infrastructure development.
5. What challenges did Tang Yulin face in his early years as a ranger?
A. Lack of funding and resources. B. Lack of electricity and rough terrain.
C. Frequent encounters with dangerous animals. D. Limited interaction with the monkeys.
6. What has made Tang Yulin’s patrols easier in recent years?
A. The monkeys have become more aggressive.
B. The reserve has been opened to tourists.
C. The number of monkeys has significantly decreased.
D. The reserve has developed better infrastructure.
7. Which of the following can best describe Tang Yulin?

Coleus (彩叶草) is truly a standout in the plant world. Its leaves display an astonishing variety of colors, making it a game-changer in garden design, much like how the right decoration elements can transform a living space. Chris Baker, an enthusiast coleus breeder, has a long-standing bond with these plants. His journey with coleus traces back to the cuttings his grandmother was nurturing on the kitchen window, their vivid colors leaving a lasting mark on him.
Baker’s path to becoming a coleus breeder was far from straightforward. After his ambitions of a music career faded, he took on different jobs. Eventually, a job in a greenhouse led him to his true calling. The sight of seedlings emerging from self-sown seeds inspired him to study hybridization. At first, he painstakingly used magnifying glasses (放大镜) and paintbrushes for pollination, but later discovered that bees could do the job just as well, if not better.
The International Coleus Society has documented over 1, 800 named plant varieties, with an estimated 400-500 available commercially. Instead of taking the easy way out and sourcing from suppliers, Baker dedicated himself to breeding his own unique varieties. His greenhouse is home to around 50 of his self-developed coleus. Modern breeders, including Baker, focus on more than just leaf color. They’re also interested in traits like leaf size, shape, and the plant’s growth habits. Baker has successfully bred coleus that can tolerate more sunlight and have a denser growth pattern.
Coleus’s genetic diversity provides countless opportunities for gardeners to create stunning displays. Moreover, the unique colors and patterns of coleus can also be used to create eye-catching plant combinations.
For example, pairing a bright red-leaved coleus with some delicate white flowers can enhance the garden’s color contrast. Additionally, coleus plants are relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
8. Why does the author mention “decoration elements” in Paragraph 1?
A. To stress the importance of coleus plants in home decoration.
B. To illustrate coleus’s role in landscaping with a familiar comparison.
C To emphasize the economic value of garden design.
D. To introduce basic requirements for coleus growth.
9. Which of the following statements about Baker is right?
A. His grandmother’s coleus sparked his interest in coleus.
B. His career path was smooth and well-planned.
C. His first choice for pollination is Bees.
D. His reliance on suppliers helped him create unique varieties.
10. What does the underlined word “novice” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. professional B. specialist C. master D. beginner
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of coleus cultivation in garden design.
B. The vital role of bees in pollinating coleus plants.
C. From music to garden design: Chris Baker’s unusual career.
D. Coleus’s gardening value and Chris Baker’s breeding journey.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D

词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Additionally, coleus plants are relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. (此外,彩叶草相对容易照料,是novice和有经验的园丁的绝佳选择)”可知,彩叶草相对容易照料,所以是初学者和有经验的园丁的绝佳选择,故novice意思是“初学者”。故选D。

For over a century, U.S. food manufacturers have added synthetic dyes (合成染料) to their products. They do this to make mass-produced foods seem fresh, natural, or more eye-catching, like the bright blue of a “blue raspberry Slurpee” or the vivid red of “Flamin' Hot Cheetos”. However, this practice has faced ongoing controversy and government regulations. A prime example is the FDA's ban on red dye No. 3 for potential cancer risks, showing how food coloring is a complex issue with diet consequences.
The color of food has a big impact on our eating decisions. Devina Wadhera from Arizona State University says that sight is our first sense when evaluating food. Our initial judgment of food is based on its appearance, making color a key factor in our overall assessment.
Back in the late 19th century, food producers understood the importance of visual appeal in marketing. Synthetic dyes helped solve the problem of color loss during production and made foods more attractive. For example, in the mid-20th century, cake mix companies promoted colorful icing. It made cakes look better and let home bakers show their creativity, demonstrating color's role in enhancing food's marketability.
Our associations between food colors and flavors are learned. Super-red snacks are often thought of as spicy. Also, different cultures have various color associations, and generally, more vivid colors are linked to stronger flavors. Moreover, the context can change how we perceive the connection between food colors and flavors. Charles Spence from the University of Oxford notes that the same-colored liquid can be seen as different things in different settings. The colors related to food presentation also affect our eating behavior, influencing our choices and portion sizes unconsciously.
In short, food color significantly impacts our eating experiences. Recognizing this can help us make better food choices and understand the complex relationship between our senses and diet. We should be more aware of its influence and be more careful when choosing food.
12. According to the passage, why did the FDA ban red dye No. 3?
A. Public concerns over artificial food colors. B. Research findings of its potential cancer risks.
C. Pressure from health-conscious consumer groups. D. Its likelihood of causing various health problems.
13. What can be inferred about the use of synthetic dyes in cake mixes?
A. To reduce production costs. B. To allow consumers to express creativity.
C. To line up with FDA regulations. D. To enhance the taste of cakes.
14. Why might a blue liquid in a plastic cup be perceived as mouthwash?
A. The cup's material affects perception. B. Blue is a common color for mouthwash.
C. Context influences color associations. D. People associate blue with cleanliness.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Synthetic dyes should be banned globally.
B. Food color affects choices via learned associations and context.
C. Cultural views on food coloring are conflicting.
D. The FDA plays a key role in food safety regulation.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国食品制造商在食品中添加合成染料的情况,以及食物颜色对人们饮食决策的影响,包括颜色如何影响人们对食物的判断、与味道的关联以及在不同文化和情境中的差异等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A prime example is the FDA's ban on red dye No. 3 for potential cancer risks(一个主要的例子是美国食品药品监督管理局因潜在的癌症风险禁止使用红色染料3号)” 可推知,美国食品药品监督管理局禁止红色染料3号是因为其潜在的癌症风险研究结果。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, in the mid-20th century, cake mix companies promoted colorful icing. It made cakes look better and let home bakers show their creativity(例如,在20世纪中期,蛋糕预拌粉公司推广彩色糖霜。它让蛋糕看起来更好,也让家庭烘焙师展示他们的创造力)” 可推知,在蛋糕预拌粉中使用合成染料是为了让消费者展示创造力。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Charles Spence from the University of Oxford notes that the same-colored liquid can be seen as different things in different settings.(牛津大学的查尔斯・斯彭斯指出,相同颜色的液体在不同的环境中会被视为不同的东西)”可推知,一个蓝色液体在塑料杯中可能被视为漱口水是因为环境影响了颜色联想。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In short, food color significantly impacts our eating experiences. Recognizing this can help us make better food choices and understand the complex relationship between our senses and diet.We should be more aware of its influence and be more careful when choosing food.(总之,食物颜色对我们的饮食体验有显著影响。认识到这一点可以帮助我们做出更好的食物选择,并理解我们的感官和饮食之间的复杂关系。我们应该更多地意识到它的影响,在选择食物时更加小心)” 可知,短文主要讲述了美国食品制造商在食品中添加合成染料的情况,以及食物颜色对人们饮食决策的影响,包括颜色如何影响人们对食物的判断、与味道的关联以及在不同文化和情境中的差异等。由此可知,本文主要是关于食物颜色通过后天的联想和环境影响选择。故选B。

第二节 读后续写 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ballet is a way of life in my family. My elder sister Serena is now dancing at a top theater and I am also a good ballet dancer at my school. Though my mom always wants me to follow in my sister’s footsteps, my love for ballet has been fading over the years and I have been eager for a new challenge.
One day when I left the dance studio after school, I walked past a gym and was attracted by the boxers (拳击手) who were fighting inside the boxing ring. I was deeply impressed by how hard they fought and how fast they moved.
“That is what I really want!” I told myself.
It was not a decision made on the spot. In fact, I had long been attracted to boxing. I even had the Oakwood High school Boxing Competition sign-up sheet in my backpack for two months. That was what I really wanted to have a try. But I was afraid to disappoint my parents, who had such high expectations of me when it came to ballet.
Tired of trying to keep up with my sister, I made up my mind to carve my own path. The next day, I gathered my courage and told Serena about my decision. At first, Serena thought I was just joking. But when she saw that I was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right? Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Make best use of your strength, Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” I insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
“You will learn what it exactly means soon enough!” Serena replied impatiently. “I will stick to my own passion no matter what it is!” I shouted back.
Touched by my determination, Serena gave in and promised not to tell my decision to our parents.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It turned out that serena was absolutely right.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the big day came, the Oakwood High school Boxing Competition!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 It turned out that Serena was absolutely right. The boxing gym was filled with boys, all of whom were tough and strong. I felt somewhat out of place, being the only girl there. The initial training sessions were challenging, both physically and mentally. My ballet-trained body was flexible but lacked the power and endurance required for boxing. However, I persevered, driven by my passion. I knew that mastering boxing would not happen overnight. With each training session, I felt myself becoming faster and stronger.
Finally, the big day came, the Oakwood High School Boxing competition! Standing in the ring, I reminded myself why I was there. As the bell rang, I moved quickly, utilizing the footwork I had honed in ballet to maintain balance and timing. My initial nervousness melted away, replaced by focus and determination. When the final round ended, I was exhausted but delighted. I had given it my all, and that was what mattered most. Later, I received word that I had won third place. More importantly, I had found my own path and embraced my true passion.

In the heart of the Baihe National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province, approximately 1,700 wild Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys live happily in their natural habitat. Protecting them day and night are committed rangers.
Leading this effort is Tang Yulin, 56, the team leader of the Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Research and Monitoring Center. His family has a long history with the reserve. His granduncle was one of the first staff members when the reserve was established in 1963, and his father also worked there. Inspired by their dedication, Tang Yulin became a third-generation forest ranger in 1990 at the age of 22.
In his early years, the reserve lacked electricity, and the rough mountain terrain (地形) made patrols difficult. Tang Yulin would wake up at 3:30 am, prepare his meals in the dark, and start his patrols at 4 am to observe the monkeys before they woke up. He spent nearly 200 days each year in the mountains, often building temporary shelters when he couldn't return the same day. Over time, he became an expert on the reserve's plants and animals, helping researchers with their work.
In recent years, the reserve's infrastructure has improved, making patrols easier. The monkeys have also become more comfortable around humans, with over 140 research monkeys relocated to lower-altitude areas near rivers, where they now thrive. Today, the reserve has the highest density of these monkeys in the country, making it a perfect place to observe them in the wild.
Inspired by Tang Yulin, his nephew Tang Xiaogang became a ranger in 2019, continuing the family's legacy as fourth-generation guardians. “Seeing the monkeys thrive here is my greatest honor,” Tang Yulin says. “A bond of trust has formed between us.” In the misty mountains, Tang Yulin and his team work tirelessly to protect the harmony between nature and humanity for future generations.
4. What is Tang Yulin's main responsibility in the Baihe National Nature Reserve?
A. To promote tourism in the reserve.
B. To observe and protect the golden snub-nosed monkeys.
C. To conduct scientific research on plants.
D. To manage the reserve's infrastructure development.
5. What challenges did Tang Yulin face in his early years as a ranger?
A. Lack of funding and resources. B. Lack of electricity and rough terrain.
C. Frequent encounters with dangerous animals. D. Limited interaction with the monkeys.
6. What has made Tang Yulin’s patrols easier in recent years?
A. The monkeys have become more aggressive.
B. The reserve has been opened to tourists.
C. The number of monkeys has significantly decreased.
D. The reserve has developed better infrastructure.
7. Which of the following can best describe Tang Yulin?
A. Ambitious and competitive. B. Compassionate and adventurous.
C. Dedicated and diligent. D. Curious and independent.

Coleus (彩叶草) is truly a standout in the plant world. Its leaves display an astonishing variety of colors, making it a game-changer in garden design, much like how the right decoration elements can transform a living space. Chris Baker, an enthusiast coleus breeder, has a long-standing bond with these plants. His journey with coleus traces back to the cuttings his grandmother was nurturing on the kitchen window, their vivid colors leaving a lasting mark on him.
Baker’s path to becoming a coleus breeder was far from straightforward. After his ambitions of a music career faded, he took on different jobs. Eventually, a job in a greenhouse led him to his true calling. The sight of seedlings emerging from self-sown seeds inspired him to study hybridization. At first, he painstakingly used magnifying glasses (放大镜) and paintbrushes for pollination, but later discovered that bees could do the job just as well, if not better.
The International Coleus Society has documented over 1, 800 named plant varieties, with an estimated 400-500 available commercially. Instead of taking the easy way out and sourcing from suppliers, Baker dedicated himself to breeding his own unique varieties. His greenhouse is home to around 50 of his self-developed coleus. Modern breeders, including Baker, focus on more than just leaf color. They’re also interested in traits like leaf size, shape, and the plant’s growth habits. Baker has successfully bred coleus that can tolerate more sunlight and have a denser growth pattern.
Coleus’s genetic diversity provides countless opportunities for gardeners to create stunning displays. Moreover, the unique colors and patterns of coleus can also be used to create eye-catching plant combinations.
For example, pairing a bright red-leaved coleus with some delicate white flowers can enhance the garden’s color contrast. Additionally, coleus plants are relatively easy to care for, making them a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
8. Why does the author mention “decoration elements” in Paragraph 1?
A. To stress the importance of coleus plants in home decoration.
B. To illustrate coleus’s role in landscaping with a familiar comparison.
C. To emphasize the economic value of garden design.
D. To introduce basic requirements for coleus growth.
9. Which of the following statements about Baker is right?
A. His grandmother’s coleus sparked his interest in coleus.
B. His career path was smooth and well-planned.
C. His first choice for pollination is Bees.
D. His reliance on suppliers helped him create unique varieties.
10. What does the underlined word “novice” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. professional B. specialist C. master D. beginner
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of coleus cultivation in garden design.
B. The vital role of bees in pollinating coleus plants.
C. From music to garden design: Chris Baker’s unusual career.
D. Coleus’s gardening value and Chris Baker’s breeding journey.

For over a century, U.S. food manufacturers have added synthetic dyes (合成染料) to their products. They do this to make mass-produced foods seem fresh, natural, or more eye-catching, like the bright blue of a “blue raspberry Slurpee” or the vivid red of “Flamin' Hot Cheetos”. However, this practice has faced ongoing controversy and government regulations. A prime example is the FDA's ban on red dye No. 3 for potential cancer risks, showing how food coloring is a complex issue with diet consequences.
The color of food has a big impact on our eating decisions. Devina Wadhera from Arizona State University says that sight is our first sense when evaluating food. Our initial judgment of food is based on its appearance, making color a key factor in our overall assessment.
Back in the late 19th century, food producers understood the importance of visual appeal in marketing. Synthetic dyes helped solve the problem of color loss during production and made foods more attractive. For example, in the mid-20th century, cake mix companies promoted colorful icing. It made cakes look better and let home bakers show their creativity, demonstrating color's role in enhancing food's marketability.
Our associations between food colors and flavors are learned. Super-red snacks are often thought of as spicy. Also, different cultures have various color associations, and generally, more vivid colors are linked to stronger flavors. Moreover, the context can change how we perceive the connection between food colors and flavors. Charles Spence from the University of Oxford notes that the same-colored liquid can be seen as different things in different settings. The colors related to food presentation also affect our eating behavior, influencing our choices and portion sizes unconsciously.
In short, food color significantly impacts our eating experiences. Recognizing this can help us make better food choices and understand the complex relationship between our senses and diet. We should be more aware of its influence and be more careful when choosing food.

Ballet is a way of life in my family. My elder sister Serena is now dancing at a top theater and I am also a good ballet dancer at my school. Though my mom always wants me to follow in my sister’s footsteps, my love for ballet has been fading over the years and I have been eager for a new challenge.
One day when I left the dance studio after school, I walked past a gym and was attracted by the boxers (拳击手) who were fighting inside the boxing ring. I was deeply impressed by how hard they fought and how fast they moved.
“That is what I really want!” I told myself.
It was not a decision made on the spot. In fact, I had long been attracted to boxing. I even had the Oakwood High school Boxing Competition sign-up sheet in my backpack for two months. That was what I really wanted to have a try. But I was afraid to disappoint my parents, who had such high expectations of me when it came to ballet.
Tired of trying to keep up with my sister, I made up my mind to carve my own path. The next day, I gathered my courage and told Serena about my decision. At first, Serena thought I was just joking. But when she saw that I was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right? Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Make best use of your strength, Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” I insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
“You will learn what it exactly means soon enough!” Serena replied impatiently. “I will stick to my own passion, no matter what it is!” I shouted back.
Touched by my determination, Serena gave in and promised not to tell my decision to our parents.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It turned out that serena was absolutely right.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the big day came, the Oakwood High school Boxing Competition!
