This humble grain, grown in over 10o countries, is a primary food source for more than half of the world's population As one of the oldest cultivated crops, rice has played a central role in shaping cooking traditions, economies, and cultures around the world. Archaeological evidence suggests that rice was first grown over 10,ooo years ago in the regions of ancient China and India. It has since spread globally, becoming a necessary part of numerous cultures. The spread of rice cultivatior followed ancient trade routes reaching the Middle East, Africa and eventually Europe and the Americas. In China and India, rice has been a staple food for a thousand years,deeply embedded in both daily life and religious rituals. Rice cultivation techniques and varieties developed in these regions have significantly influenced rice agriculture globally Rice holds a place of great importance in Asian cuisine, serving as a main food and a cultural symbol across many countries in the region. Each Asian cuisine has developed unique ways of preparing and incorporating rice, reflecting the diverse cooking traditions and cultural practices of this vast continent ! Rice is central to Chinese meals, often served plain to complement the variety of other dishes Special dishes like fried rice and rice porridge are also popular. ln Japan, short grain rice is a key component, most famously used in sushi. Rice is also served as a side in most meals and used in dishes like onigiri( rice balls) and sake rice wine) The future of rice in cuisine continues to evolve, as chefs and home cooks alike push the boundaries of creativity, blending traditional methods with modern innovations. Yet the essence of rice, as a fundamental and unifying element of so many cooking traditions,remains unchanged As we continue to explore the endless possibilities of this extraordinary grain, we carry with us a deeper appreciation for the role it plays in connecting us .to different cultures, histories, and to eachother. 28.

How people in different places cook rice D. The history of rice around the world D Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers,fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something,do something or think a certain way.And they're good at it Over the years, theyve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success.But by concentrating on the message itself.theyve missed a crucial component of the process Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion-the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know whats init. Pre-suasion works by focusing people's attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones.In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page.Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft,comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion,a few notable communicators already had an intuitive(直觉的)understanding of it. For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful,boat-like vehicles.The"We're ugly but."campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting(鼓 吹)the auto's strengths such as economy,reliability and simplicity.Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time With considerable success,practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements -great praises, emotional pull last-chance opportunities -in their appeals.Perhaps because of that success, theyve mostly missed an accompanying truth.For maximum impact,it's not only what you do:it's also what you do just before you do what you do 32. What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text? A. The use of psychological strings to influence people. B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge C. The choice of communication channels for more success D.The improvement of message contents to attract buyers 33. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion? A. An online store trumpeting special offers. B.A banker explaining interest rates to customers C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers D.A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season. 34. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s? 5 A. It focused on emotional appeals B. It failed to highlight its strengths C.It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car marke D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product 35. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence? A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion. B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion D.They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively 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。 We tend to think that our success is limited because of lack of money, time, and energy, but this is not necessarily true. Lack of self-worth is often the biggest roadblock on our path to living a fulfilling life. Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world. 36 It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title. or social media popularity. 37 Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, it's more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership respect, and kindness 38 We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact? Is it useful and kind? If the answer is no, then this criticism is not worth paying attention to. You alone are responsible for your self-worth. Regardless of other people's words, thoughts 39 and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself. Don't wait for people to confirm your value. Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions. We all mess up sometimes----it's part of being human. 40 Its easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor. There's no point in worrying about your mistakes or upsetting over the not-so-good decisions from the past Self-compassion is about believing that you are worthy of love regardless of what you do or fail tc do. A. Don't let your inner critic rule your thoughts. B. What matters is what you think about yourself C. All these do not determine your value and self-worth D. But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go E. Treat yourself with the love and care that others give you F. Pay attention to the perceptions about where you should be G. Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项 I whispered to myself,"A five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer."White Cliff was really 41 for an enthusiastic painter like me.But at the 42 of going there alone I had butterflies in my stomach.Later,I dialed my only friend Emily's number, only to discover that she would be otherwise _43 .I sighed and dropped my head.I had really had a hard time jumping 。 into something without 44 faces around. 45 I went outside to draw the Westons' towering pine tree.Sitting on the stairs.I thought about the art camp and wished to feel a little 46 But by the time I started sketching,I had convinced myself that 47 the camp was my content decision I carefully48 the pine's strong trunk, straight and solid,and added the graceful branches.Once lost in my sketching.I 49 noticed the fly buzzing around me.Hence I jumped when Mr. Weston suddenly remarked, "You've captured the essence of the tre's 50 beautifully on paper."Thanks."I smiled,glancing up."If you spread out the roots near the surface, the tree could 51 sufficient water and soar even higher."I noticed the knobby bumps( 疼寥状突起)of roots 52 out of the ground all around the tree.I'd never realized how 53 a tree's roots stretched outward.It struck me that if I wanted to grow,I had to start 54 too.
