She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school, which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree. My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we changed places. After opening a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and look inside. “Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones!” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom’s coming!” I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect (怀疑) anything. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled, and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents—again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same. My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us. 4. What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back? A. They bought some Christmas presents. B. They hid Christmas presents under the tree. C. They opened Christmas presents in advance. D. They wrapped the headphones for their mother. 5. How was the author feeling when his mother was coming? A. Grateful and moved. B. Happy and excited. C. Curious and surprised. D. Nervous and frightened. 6. Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling? A. His secret was found out. B. His curiosity wasn’t satisfied. C. A pleasant surprise was lost. D. A festival atmosphere was lost. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He didn’t like the headphones. B. He regretted what he had done. C. He wasn’t satisfied with his mother. D. He couldn’t find his Christmas present. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是出于好奇心，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。可是，当圣诞节清晨打开礼物的那一刻来临时，作者却体会到一种失落感。 4题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work.(那是平安夜，我和姐姐决定在妈妈下班回家之前打开我们的礼物。)”和第三段中的“After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside.(在拆开了几件礼物后，我发现打开礼物的一端往里看会更快。)”可知，出于好奇心，作者和姐姐在圣诞节前夕趁母亲不在时偷偷提前打开了圣诞礼物。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中的“I put the headphones back hurriedly in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick.(我赶紧把耳机放回盒子里，但我的手在颤抖。当我试图把胶带粘住时，我的心跳得更厉害了。)”可知，听到母亲马上要回来，作者双手发抖、心跳加快。由此可推知，作者既紧张又害怕。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段“On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents — again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.(在圣诞节的早晨，当我们再次打开礼物时，我和妹妹微笑着表演了获奖的表演。“耳机！”我叫道。“谢谢，这正是我想要的。”一切都打开后，我和姐姐对视了一下，我们的目光相遇了。我们的秘密是安全的，但不知怎的，圣诞节的早晨感觉不一样了。)”可推知，圣诞节清晨作者打开礼物后假装激动和兴奋，其实那份惊喜是不存在的，可得出那个圣诞节的早晨给了作者一种不同的感觉是因为失去了一个惊喜。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.(我和姐姐再也没有提前打开圣诞礼物了。我不知道是因为第二次拆礼物没有第一次那么有趣，还是因为我们差点被抓住，不想去想妈妈会对我们做什么。)”可知，作者和姐姐从此以后再也没有提前打开过圣诞礼物，作者分析可能原因是第二次打开礼物不再有真正的惊喜和兴奋感。由此判断他对自己之前提前打开礼物的做法是感到后悔的。故选B。 C Tasting good and requiring just a cup of boiling water to prepare, instant noodles (方便面) are one of the most popular foods in the world. But instant noodles often contain sky-high amounts of sodium (钠). Fortunately, food start-up Immi is reinventing the beloved food. The noodles they make are the only 100% plant-based instant noodle on the market, and contain far less sodium than their competitors. The company is set up by Kevin Lee and Kevin Chanthasiriphan. Lee said that seeing instant noodles lovers in their family forsake the food for health reasons drove them to come up with new ones. But the process wasn’t easy. Lee said that the development stage took longer than they expected, as the pair put a lot of effort into developing a recipe (食谱) that still had the same taste as the former noodles. After having thousands of volunteers taste the products and offer their opinions, they finally decide on a unique plant-based mixture. Lee and Chanthasiriphan said their use of high-quality food led to another challenge — high price. People expect instant noodles to be cheap, but because of their good quality, Immi’s noodles must be sold at a higher price. The pair worked hard to make the noodles relatively affordable, even though it would mean costing more than their competitors. Chanthasiriphan said, “Our goal is to do more than just put food into people’s stomachs. We want to make sure this food is also healthy.” Immi’s efforts to create new noodles are extremely important to people who are living with limited kitchen food. People who are looking for an easy-to-prepare meal now have a healthier choice on hand. 8. What is special about Immi’s instant noodles? A. They can be kept for a longer time. B. They use local products. C. They are much healthier. D. They are easier to cook. 9. What does the underlined word “forsake” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Be attracted to. B. Give up C. Depend on. D. Look for. 10. Why did Lee and Chanthasiriphan spend so much time on the development stage? A. They lacked money to do the test. B. They failed to find volunteers at first. C. They tried hard to keep the former taste. D. They had to test environmentally friendly products. 11. What probably stops Immi’s noodles attracting people? A. The quality. B. The service. C. The effect. D. The affordability. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由Kevin Lee和Kevin Chanthasiriphan创立食品初创公司Immi正在重新发明方便面，他们制作的方便面是市场上唯一的100%植物基方便面，钠含量远低于竞争对手，尽管价格较高，但Immi致力于让人们拥有更健康的选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The noodles they make are the only 100% plant-based instant noodle on the market, and contain far less sodium than their competitors.(他们制作的方便面是市场上唯一100%植物性方便面，其钠含量远低于竞争对手)”可知，Immi的方便面特别之处在于更健康。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the food for health reasons drove them to come up with new ones(因为健康原因……了这种食物，促使他们想出了新的方便面)”可知，家人因为健康原因而不再吃方便面，促使他们想出了新的方便面。故划线词意思是“放弃”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Lee said that the development stage took longer than they expected, as the pair put a lot of effort into developing a recipe (食谱) that still had the same taste as the former noodles.(李说，开发阶段比他们预期的要长，因为两人花了很多精力来开发一种仍然和以前的面条一样味道的配方)”可知，Lee和Chanthasiriphan在发展阶段花费了许多时间是因为他们努力保持原来的味道。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The pair worked hard to make the noodles relatively affordable. even though it would mean costing more than their competitors.(两人努力工作，使面条相对便宜。即使这意味着比他们的竞争对手花费更多)”可知，价格负担能力可能阻止Immi的方便面吸引人们，故选D。 D If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 12. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 14. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C. What Makes You More Imaginative? D. How Exercise Improves Your Mood? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，介绍了体育活动如何影响我们的大脑以及创造力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise.( 许多研究表明，我们的大脑会对体育活动做出反应而发生变化，因为在锻炼过程中，我们的大脑会吸收更多的血液、氧气和营养，从而产生比不锻炼的人更多的新脑细胞)”可知，体育活动通过产生更多的脑细胞来改变我们的大脑。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.(为了进一步了解活跃如何影响创造力，格拉茨大学的研究人员追踪了一组健康成年人的正常活动。他们给这些志愿者配备了5天的活动追踪器。然后他们请他们参观实验室。然后，研究人员根据他们的创造力和其他指标对他们的产出进行评级。志愿者还完成了关于他们情绪的标准化问卷)”可知，本段详细描述了研究过程，包括给志愿者配备活动追踪器、让他们访问实验室、对创造力和其他指标进行评分以及完成标准化情绪问卷等。因此，本段重点介绍了研究的过程。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. (然而，活动、创造力和情绪之间的联系并不紧密。这表明，对创造力有更大影响的不是情绪的改善，而是体育活动)”可推知，运动在塑造创造力方面发挥着更重要的作用。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. (根据一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，如果你经常锻炼，你很有可能变得更有创造力)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕体育活动与创造力之间的关系进行阐述，介绍了相关研究及其发现。因此，B项“运动能让你更有创造力吗？”最能概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hug a Tree We know that spending time in nature reduces stress and improves our mood. We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. ____16____ That’s exactly what hugging a tree does! Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree! Take a Fresh Breath ____17____ So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment. You are also more likely to be breathing in fewer pollutants, especially if the forest or woods are away from a main road or air line. Improve Heart Health One study found that when we experience nature — whether by hiking in nearby mountains or simply looking at trees and birds on the way to work — we can increase our heart rate variability. ____18____ Fight Against Depression Trees’ positive effects on our mental health have been well documented. Researchers are even calling trees nature’s Prozac. They note that feeling grounded or connected to nature can reduce anxiety and depression. When you hug a tree, you become grounded to its powerful roots, receiving energy that can help to fight seasonal affective disorder or depression year-round. ____19____ Trees are one of nature’s greatest stress-reducers. It works by connecting you to the environment and allowing you to feel grounded in both space and time. When you hug a tree, you receive grounding energy through its roots. This has proven effective for people who have high levels of anxiety or fear, or those who suffer from nervousness and worry. If you don’t have a tree in your yard, go visit the local park or the botanic gardens or hike in the closest woodlands. Find a tree that speaks to you or is impressive in its appearance. Go give it a hug. ____20____ So what if passers-by laugh at you? The hug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit. A. Reduce stress. B. Receive more energy. C. Get over your fear of embarrassment. D. Both methods require little effort or time. E. It is well known that trees produce oxygen. F. Combining the two can create even greater effects. G. This can lower the risks of many heart-related diseases. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是拥抱树木对人类身心健康的各种益处，包括减轻压力、改善心情、提升能量及对抗抑郁等积极影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“We know that spending time in nature reduces stress and improves our mood. We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. (我们知道，花时间在大自然中可以减轻压力并改善我们的心情。我们同样知道拥抱自己或另一个生物的行为能够改善我们的福祉)”可知，此处描述的是花时间在大自然中和身体接触对个人都有正面影响，结合空后的“That’s exactly what hugging a tree does! Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree! (这就是拥抱树木的作用！继续阅读以了解更多关于拥抱树木的好处！)”可知，上下文都在强调在自然中度过时间以及与自然实体进行身体接触所带来的益处，此空应为讲述结合两者好处的内容，F选项“Combining the two can create even greater effects. (结合这两种行为能产生更强大的效果)”讲述的是将接触自然和身体接触相结合可以创造更大的效应，其中的the two指的是上文中所提到的“spending time in nature”和“the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing”。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Take a Fresh Breath(呼吸新鲜空气)”可知，本段讲述的是拥抱树木能呼吸到新鲜空气，结合空后的“So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment. (因此，当你靠近森林中的树木并拥抱它时，你自然处于一个更加富氧的环境中)”可知，此空应为说明树木如何影响周围环境的氧气含量，因为该句解释了为何靠近树木能够改善呼吸质量，E选项“It is well known that trees produce oxygen. (众所周知，树木产生氧气)”讲述的是树木是氧气的生产者，与本段的主题吻合，且与空后的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“One study found that when we experience nature — whether by hiking in nearby mountains or simply looking at trees and birds on the way to work— we can increase our heart rate variability. (一项研究发现，当我们体验自然时——无论是徒步附近的山脉还是仅仅是在上班路上看树和鸟——我们都可以增加心率变异性)”可知，此处描述的是接触自然对心率变异性的影响，结合空后的“This can lower the risks of many heart-related diseases. (这可以降低许多心脏疾病的风险)”可知，此空应为解释心率变异性增加所带来的健康益处，G选项“This can lower the risks of many heart-related diseases. (这可以降低许多心脏疾病的风险)”讲述的是心率变异性增加对心脏健康的积极影响，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处为本段的主题句，结合其它段落的主题句为祈使句可知，此空也应为祈使句，根据空后的“Trees are one of nature’s greatest stress-reducers. It works by connecting you to the environment and allowing you to feel grounded in both space and time. When you hug a tree, you receive grounding energy through its roots. This has proven effective for people who have high levels of anxiety or fear, or those who suffer from nervousness and worry. (树木是自然界最大的减压器之一。它的工作原理是将你与环境联系起来，让你在空间和时间上都有脚踏实地的感觉。当你拥抱一棵树时，你通过它的根部接收接地能量。事实证明，这对那些高度焦虑或恐惧的人，或者那些紧张和担心的人是有效的。)”可知，此空应为解释拥抱树木如何帮助人们减压，A选项“Reduce stress. (减少压力)”为祈使句，且讲述的是树木作为减压工具的作用，概括了本段的主题，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“If you don’t have a tree in your yard, go visit the local park or the botanic gardens or hike in the closest woodlands. Find a tree that speaks to you or is impressive in its appearance. Go give it a hug. (如果你的院子里没有树，去拜访当地的公园或植物园，或者徒步到最近的林地。找到一棵对你说话或外观令人印象深刻的树。去给它一个拥抱)”可知，此处描述的是鼓励读者即使在家里没有树木也可以寻找机会去拥抱树木，结合空后的“So what if passers-by laugh at you? The hug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit. (所以如果路人嘲笑你呢？你给予的拥抱不仅是给树的，也是给自己的精神的)”可知，此空应为鼓励读者不要在意他人的眼光，勇敢地拥抱树木，因为这里提到了面对可能的社会尴尬应该采取的态度，C选项“Get over your fear of embarrassment. (克服尴尬恐惧)”讲述的是鼓励读者克服可能的社交尴尬，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Lucky was a homeless dog that lived on the streets.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt lonely, struggling against the challenges of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand him, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone. One day, after class, Ms Lau asked Alex to her office with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with joy. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.” Alex’s heart raced wildly, the thought of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and frightening. He felt worried, unsure if it was a good idea to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s smile gave him the push he needed to make the decision. With Ms Lau’s help, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. After Ms Lau became his Chinese teacher, he learned not only the language but also invaluable life lessons from her. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone. The day of the program arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel shocked as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown. 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。 During their time in China, Alex enjoyed the experience. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back to New Zealand, Alex was a changed person. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: During their time in China, Alex enjoyed the experience.

Apart from that, he enjoyed a lot of Chinese delicious food, among which he liked the Beijing Roast Duck best. Most importantly, to his happiness, he made a lot of Chinese friends who were friendly and kind to him. Back to New Zealand, Alex was a changed person. He was no longer shy and quiet. He became much more confident and outgoing. As soon as he went back to school, he was glad to tell his classmates about his wonderful experience in China. He studied even harder and was also brave to express opinions and ideas in the class, which won him popularity among teachers and students. More and more classmates made friends with Alex, which made him happier and more optimistic towards life and future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物的转变为线索展开，讲述了害羞孤独、在高中生活中挣扎的Alex，遇到了如光般的中文老师Lau女士。Lau老师组织到中国的文化交流项目，邀请Alex参加。Alex在Lau老师的帮助下做准备，对中国文化深入了解。到中国后，他体验丰富，爱上中国，结交很多中国朋友。回到新西兰后，他变得自信外向，乐于分享经历，努力学习且勇于表达，收获大家喜爱，对生活和未来更乐观。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在中国的这段时间里，Alex很享受这段经历。”可知，第一段可描写Alex在中国的各种所见所闻，以及结交了很多友好的朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到新西兰，Alex完全变了一个人。”可知，第二段可描写Alex变得自信外向，和他人相处得更融洽，勇于表达个人观点，也因此得到了积极的反馈，变得更快乐和乐观。 2. 续写线索：享受中国的经历——所见所闻——交朋友——回到新西兰——各种转变——积极的反馈 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①爱上：fall in love with/be in love with/become attached to ②参观：visit/pay a visit to/make a visit to ③回到：go back to/get back to/return to ④表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled/exhilarated ②高兴：happiness/joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] He felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China.

She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a look (偷看) at the gifts under the tree. My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we changed places. After opening a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and look inside. “Cool! Mom and Dad got me headphones!” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom’s coming!” I put the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart beat faster as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect (怀疑) anything. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled, and gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents—again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same. My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us. 4. What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back? A. They bought some Christmas presents. B. They hid Christmas presents under the tree. C. They opened Christmas presents in advance. D. They wrapped the headphones for their mother. 5. How was the author feeling when his mother was coming? A. Grateful and moved. B. Happy and excited. C. Curious and surprised. D. Nervous and frightened. 6. Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling? A. His secret was found out. B. His curiosity wasn’t satisfied. C. A pleasant surprise was lost. D. A festival atmosphere was lost. 7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He didn’t like the headphones. B. He regretted what he had done. C. He wasn’t satisfied with his mother. D. He couldn’t find his Christmas present. C Tasting good and requiring just a cup of boiling water to prepare, instant noodles (方便面) are one of the most popular foods in the world. But instant noodles often contain sky-high amounts of sodium (钠). Fortunately, food start-up Immi is reinventing the beloved food. The noodles they make are the only 100% plant-based instant noodle on the market, and contain far less sodium than their competitors. The company is set up by Kevin Lee and Kevin Chanthasiriphan Lee said that seeing instant noodles lovers in their family forsake the food for health reasons drove them to come up with new ones. But the process wasn’t easy. Lee said that the development stage took longer than they expected, as the pair put a lot of effort into developing a recipe (食谱) that still had the same taste as the former noodles. After having thousands of volunteers taste the products and offer their opinions, they finally decide on a unique plant-based mixture. Lee and Chanthasiriphan said their use of high-quality food led to another challenge — high price. People expect instant noodles to be cheap, but because of their good quality, Immi’s noodles must be sold at a higher price. The pair worked hard to make the noodles relatively affordable, even though it would mean costing more than their competitors. Chanthasiriphan said, “Our goal is to do more than just put food into people’s stomachs. We want to make sure this food is also healthy.” Immi’s efforts to create new noodles are extremely important to people who are living with limited kitchen food. People who are looking for an easy-to-prepare meal now have a healthier choice on hand. 8. What is special about Immi’s instant noodles? A. They can be kept for a longer time. B. They use local products. C. They are much healthier. D. They are easier to cook. 9. What does the underlined word “forsake” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Be attracted to. B. Give up C. Depend on. D. Look for. 10. Why did Lee and Chanthasiriphan spend so much time on the development stage? A. They lacked money to do the test. B. They failed to find volunteers at first. C. They tried hard to keep the former taste. D. They had to test environmentally friendly products. 11. What probably stops Immi’s noodles attracting people? A. The quality. B. The service. C. The effect. D. The affordability. D If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 12. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 14. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A.
