Ever since my childhood I had believed that books are not for me. I tried, but failed. I borrowed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone from an older cousin at age 12 and couldn’t complete a chapter. I borrowed The Da Vinci Code from another cousin at 15 and, again, failed to understand anything at all. Other than that, I had no interest in reading books. But then my friend had written a piece for a competition and she wanted us to run it through before she handed it in. It was a short story of no more than a hundred words, titled something on the lines of “Meeting a dead man”. As she began reading it out, I experienced something I had never experienced before. I saw myself walking in the park in the foggy morning hours. I saw a man with a grey scarf sitting on an old wooden bench. I felt fear. I felt curious to know his story. That moment, my journey into the world of books began. Over the years I figured out that I’m more of a visual and kinesthetic (动觉的) person. I understand information largely through pictures and feelings. When I read a book, I see the video playing in my head and I feel the emotions in my body. A friend of mine suggested I read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, two masterpieces by Khaled Hosseini. These books fire d an interest in writing for the first time in my life, paving the way for my writing journey. I feel extremely lucky to have read some of the beautiful literary works and my list continues to grow. My heartfelt thanks go out to the writers and readers who inspired me at different stages of my life and introduced me to books that changed and continue to change my life. 4.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己与书的故事。起初作者认为书不适合自己，多次尝试阅读都失败了。后来朋友的一篇短文激发了作者对书的兴趣，从此开启了阅读之旅，哈利勒・胡赛尼的作品还点燃了作者的写作热情。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I borrowed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone from an older cousin at age 12 and couldn’t complete a chapter. I borrowed The Da Vinci Code from another cousin at 15 and, again, failed to understand anything at all.(12 岁时，我从一个表哥那里借了《哈利・波特与魔法石》，但连一章都读不下去。15 岁时，我从另一个表哥那里借了《达・芬奇密码》，结果又是什么都读不懂)” 可知，作者通过列举自己读《哈利・波特与魔法石》和《达・芬奇密码》这两个具体例子，来描述自己最初与书的关系，即尝试阅读但失败。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But then my friend had written a piece for a competition and she wanted us to run it through before she handed it in. It was a short story of no more than a hundred words, titled something on the lines of “Meeting a dead man”. As she began reading it out, I experienced something I had never experienced before. I saw myself walking in the park in the foggy morning hours. I saw a man with a grey scarf sitting on an old wooden bench. I felt fear. I felt curious to know his story. That moment, my journey into the world of books began.(但后来我的朋友为一场比赛写了一篇文章，她想在提交之前让我们先过目一遍。那是一篇不超过一百字的短篇小说，标题大概类似于《遇见一个死人》。当她开始朗读这篇小说时，我体验到了一种前所未有的感觉。我仿佛看到自己在雾气弥漫的清晨走在公园里。我看到一个围着灰色围巾的男人坐在一张旧木凳上。我感到恐惧。我又好奇地想知道他的故事。就在那一刻，我开启了走进书的世界的旅程)” 可知，是朋友写的一篇文章改变了作者与书的关系，让作者开始对书感兴趣。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A friend of mine suggested I read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, two masterpieces by Khaled Hosseini. These books fired an interest in writing for the first time in my life, paving the way for my writing journey.(我的一个朋友建议我读哈利勒・胡赛尼的两部杰作《灿烂千阳》和《追风筝的人》。这些书第一次点燃了我对写作的兴趣，为我的写作之旅铺平了道路)” 可知，哈利勒・胡赛尼的作品激发了作者对写作的兴趣。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。作者讲述了自己与书的故事。起初作者认为书不适合自己，多次尝试阅读都失败了。后来朋友的一篇短文激发了作者对书的兴趣，从此开启了阅读之旅，哈利勒・胡赛尼的作品还点燃了作者的写作热情。选项 A “我的阅读经历”适合作为文章最佳标题，故选A。 C At the end of the last ice age, Scotland was a truly wild place, where the Highland tiger, a distinctly banded wildcat, and many other animals lived among Caledonian pine forests. But over time, humans cleared the land for wood, fuel, and agriculture. By the turn of the 20th century, only 5 per cent of Scotland’s land area was covered by forest. Now the country is experiencing a moment for rewilding—in essence, the rebuilding of ecosystems to their natural uncultivated states. No one can quite agree when the rewilding movement officially began, but one popular perspective sets it in the late 1980s. That’s when environmental charity Trees for Life moved the conversation from protecting individual species and specific habitats to restoring ecological processes on a larger scale. Today, Trees for Life is also responsible for a world first in rewilding. Beginning in spring 2023, visitors who travel to Glenmoriston, a valley in the Scottish Highlands, are able to experience the immersive Dundreggan Rewilding Centre. Located in pinewoods on Trees for Life’s 10, 000-acre estate, the campus has been developed to showcase the ambitious project. This area is now home to 4, 000 native plant and animal species. The hope is that visitors will be inspired to reengage with nature in new ways. For full immersion, the rewilding centre, with exhibitions and classrooms, will house a 40-bed complex for researchers and volunteers. In a landscape where nature-based tourism accounts for nearly 40 per cent of all visitor spend, according to government agency NatureScot, new ecotourism projects are being driven by other reintroduced species. Visitors arrive to “come to the end of the road, to connect to the environment, and to feel spiritual,” as Paul Lister, a conservationist, puts it. For now, Scotland is not as it once was. While it’s appealing to see a visit to its rewilding area as a journey back in time, it’s more accurately a visit to a place with a more positive future. 8. What can we learn about Scotland’s rewilding movement? A. It aimed to recreate the scene of the ice age. B. It officially began in the early 20th century. C. Trees for Life played a key role in starting it. D. Trees for Life solely funded it in the late 1980s. 9. What do the underlined words “This area” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Caledonian pine forests. B. Dundreggan Rewilding Centre. C. Valleys in the Scottish Highlands. D. The headquarter of Trees for Life. 10. What can visitors probably do in the rewilding centre? A. Enjoy a hunting trip. B. Engage with exhibitions. C. Learn about the history of Scotland. D. Support urban development projects. 11. What is the author’s attitude to Scotland’s rewilding projects? A. Hopeful. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Disappointed. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了苏格兰的生态恢复行动。曾经因人类活动，苏格兰森林覆盖率大幅下降，如今该国开展生态恢复行动，重建生态系统。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“No one can quite agree when the rewilding movement officially began, but one popular perspective sets it in the late 1980s. That’s when environmental charity Trees for Life moved the conversation from protecting individual species and specific habitats to restoring ecological processes on a larger scale.(没有人能确切认同生态恢复运动正式开始的时间，但一种普遍的观点认为它始于 20 世纪 80 年代末。就在那时，环保慈善组织‘生命之树’将话题从保护单个物种和特定栖息地转移到更大规模地恢复生态过程)” 可知，“生命之树” 组织在开启这场运动中发挥了关键作用。故选C。 【9题详解】 指代猜测题。根据第三段“Beginning in spring 2023, visitors who travel to Glenmoriston, a valley in the Scottish Highlands, are able to experience the immersive Dundreggan Rewilding Centre. Located in pinewoods on Trees for Life’s 10, 000 - acre estate, the campus has been developed to showcase the ambitious project.(从 2023 年春季开始，前往苏格兰高地格伦莫里斯顿山谷的游客，将能够沉浸式体验邓德雷根生态修复中心。该中心位于 “生命之树” 组织拥有的 1 万英亩土地上的松林之中，这片场地经过开发，用于展示这一宏伟项目)” 以及第四段“This area is now home to 4, 000 native plant and animal species.(这个地区现在是 4000 种本地动植物物种的家园)” 可知，“This area” 指代的是前文提到的邓德雷根生态恢复中心。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For full immersion, the rewilding centre, with exhibitions and classrooms, will house a 40 - bed complex for researchers and volunteers.(为了让游客完全沉浸其中，这个生态恢复中心设有展览区和教室，还将为研究人员和志愿者提供一个有 40 个床位的综合设施)” 可知，游客可能在生态恢复中心参与展览。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While it’s appealing to see a visit to its rewilding area as a journey back in time, it’s more accurately a visit to a place with a more positive future.(将对其生态修复区域的参观视为一次时光回溯之旅固然很吸引人，但更确切地说，这是对一个拥有更光明未来之地的探访)” 可知，作者认为生态恢复区域有着积极的未来，对苏格兰的生态恢复项目持充满希望的态度。故选A。 D Eggs have long been recognized as a nutritional powerhouse by dietary specialists, offering high-quality protein at relatively low cost. Despite recent price changes caused by bird flu outbreaks, they remain more economical than most meats and seafood. Their various cooking methods and portability make them particularly suitable for beginners in the kitchen. Cardiologists (心脏病医生) frequently encounter questions about eggs’ cholesterol (胆固醇) content. A single egg contains 207mg of dietary cholesterol, nearly triple that found in a typical breakfast sausage. However, Dr. Martha Gulati of Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute clarifies that dietary cholesterol doesn’t directly translate to blood cholesterol levels. “The liver produces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (低密度脂蛋白) primarily in response to saturated fat (饱和脂肪) intake, not dietary cholesterol,” she explains. With only 1.6g saturated fat per egg compared to 3.7g in a sausage link, eggs present a healthier choice. This understanding prompted the 2015-2019 dietary guideline revisions, with both U. S. nutrition authorities and the American Heart Association removing cholesterol limits while emphasizing moderation. Nutritional analysis reveals eggs’ unique advantages. Each 70-calorie egg delivers 6.3g complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids (氨基酸) that humans must obtain from food. Moreover, they rank among the richest natural sources of choline (胆碱) —169 mg per egg, addressing 31% of adults’ daily requirement. This nutrient also supports crucial development of unborn babies, making adequate intake vital for pregnant women. “While choline deficiency is uncommon, over 90% of expectant mothers fall short of recommended levels, ” notes dietitian Razan Hallak from Ohio State University. Safe consumption practices include thorough cooking and pairing strategies. Nutritionists recommend using heart-healthy oils like olive oil instead of butter, and combining eggs with vegetables or whole grains rather than processed meats. “The problem often lies not with eggs themselves, but with their typical high-fat companions like bacon,” cautions Dr. Philip Greenland of Northwestern University. Current research supports moderate consumption of 1 egg daily or 2 every other day as part of balanced diets. 12. What primarily causes increased LDL according to Dr. Gulati? A. Dietary cholesterol intake. B. High blood cholesterol levels. C. Nutritionally balanced diets. D. Liver’s response to saturated fat. 13. Which statement agrees with revised dietary guidelines? A. Eggs should be completely avoided by heart patients. B. Saturated fat control outweighs cholesterol concerns. C. Strict cholesterol limits remain essential for consumers. D. The maximum daily egg consumption must be made clear. 14. What cooking advice do experts emphasize? A. Using butter for better flavor. B. Combining with processed meats. C. Prioritizing vegetable pairings. D. Consuming raw for maximum nutrition. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To discuss the cholesterol content in eggs. B. To warn people about cholesterol dangers. C. To compare the pros and cons of different protein sources. D. To explain eggs’ nutritional value and proper ways to eat them. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鸡蛋的营养价值、胆固醇对健康的影响、当前饮食指南的建议以及安全的鸡蛋食用方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“‘The liver produces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (低密度脂蛋白) primarily in response to saturated fat (饱和脂肪) intake, not dietary cholesterol,’ she explains.(‘肝脏产生低密度脂蛋白（LDL）主要是对饱和脂肪摄入的反应，而不是膳食胆固醇，’她解释说。)”可知，Gulati博士认为，导致LDL增加的主要原因是肝脏对饱和脂肪的反应，而非膳食胆固醇的摄入。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“This understanding prompted the 2015-2019 dietary guideline revisions, with both U. S. nutrition authorities and the American Heart Association removing cholesterol limits while emphasizing moderation.(这一认识促使了2015-2019年饮食指南的修订，美国营养机构和美国心脏协会都取消了胆固醇的限制，同时强调适度摄入。)”可知，修订后的饮食指南取消了胆固醇的限制，同时强调适度摄入，这意味着对饱和脂肪的控制比对胆固醇的担忧更为重要。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Nutritionists recommend using heart-healthy oils like olive oil instead of butter, and combining eggs with vegetables or whole grains rather than processed meats.(营养学家建议使用橄榄油等有益心脏健康的油，而不是黄油，并将鸡蛋与蔬菜或全谷物搭配，而不是加工肉类。)”可知，专家们强调在烹饪鸡蛋时，应优先与蔬菜搭配，而不是使用黄油或与加工肉类搭配。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Eggs have long been recognized as a nutritional powerhouse by dietary specialists, offering high-quality protein at relatively low cost.(长期以来，鸡蛋一直被营养专家视为营养丰富的食物，以相对较低的成本提供高质量的蛋白质。)”、最后一段中的“Nutritionists recommend using heart-healthy oils like olive oil instead of butter, and combining eggs with vegetables or whole grains rather than processed meats.(营养学家建议使用橄榄油等对心脏健康有益的油代替黄油，并将鸡蛋与蔬菜或全谷物混合，而不是加工肉类。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了鸡蛋的营养价值、胆固醇对健康的影响、当前饮食指南的建议以及安全的鸡蛋食用方法，文章的主要目的是解释鸡蛋的营养价值以及正确的食用方式。故选D项。 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。 The Laba Festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month in China.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, Kevin’s passion for life was quite contagious (有感染力的). His smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart bigger than the mountain sky. Basketball was the center of Kevin’s life. At practice, he worked so hard. He liked to stand in a certain spot near the free-throw line and shoot baskets. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball, until finally it would pass through the hoop (篮筐). Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season by very large margins (差距). At the end of the season, as the last-place team, they drew the unfortunate spot of playing against the first-place team, the tall, undefeated first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter, Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. “Coach Randy, ” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket. ” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so plans were made. Every time Kevin’s team had the ball, Kevin was to stand in his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball. His first shot missed. Number 17 from the other team took the ball away, scoring two more points. As soon as Kevin’s team had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who obediently (顺从地) stood in his spot. But he missed again. This pattern continued a few more times until Number 17 finally understood the plan of Kevin’s team. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So, Number 17 threw the ball to Kevin who shot and missed again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coach Randy realized the game was already over but everyone was still cheering for Kevin. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】So, Number 17 threw the ball to Kevin who shot and missed again. Soon, all the players were circling Kevin, throwing the ball to him and clapping for him. It took the audience just a little longer to figure out what was happening. Little by little, people started to stand up and clap their hands. The referees stood by the scoring table, cheering and clapping like everyone else. The whole gymnasium thundered with people clapping and repeatedly shouting “Kevin! Kevin!” And Kevin just kept shooting. Coach Randy realized the game was already over but everyone was still cheering for Kevin. Coach Randy was deeply touched by what he saw. Kevin, surrounded by teammates and the other team alike, continued to shoot. With each missed shot, the crowd’s support only seemed to grow stronger. Finally, after countless tries, the ball rolled around the edge of the hoop and went in. Kevin’s arms shot high into the air as he shouted, “I won! I won!” The first-place team remained undefeated. But that evening, everyone left the game truly feeling like a joyful winner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Kevin学东西慢，但热爱生活，尤其热爱篮球。尽管他和球队屡战屡败，但在最后一场比赛中，队友们决定帮他实现投篮得分的心愿，然而他的投篮却屡投不中。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“于是，17号球员把球传给了Kevin，Kevin投篮，但再次没投中。”可知，第一段可描写球员们围绕Kevin传球、鼓励的场景，观众从疑惑到加入欢呼的过程，以及Kevin持续投篮的状态，展现现场氛围的逐渐升温。 ②由第二段句首内容“Randy教练意识到比赛其实已经结束了，但大家仍在为Kevin欢呼。”可知，第二段可描写教练的触动，Kevin在众人簇拥下坚持投篮的细节，进球瞬间的欢呼与Kevin的激动，最后点明比赛结果与众人的内心感受，升华主题：超越胜负的善意与支持让每个人成为赢家。 2.续写线索：球员鼓励Kevin投篮 —— 观众理解并加入欢呼 —— 教练被场景触动 —— Kevin无数次尝试后进球 —— 众人感受超越胜负的胜利 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①围绕：circle/surround ②传球：throw the ball/pass the ball ③鼓掌：clap one’s hands/applaud 情绪类 ①被深深感动：be deeply touched/be profoundly moved ②快乐的：joyful/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】It took the audience just a little longer to figure out what was happening.

I borrowed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone from an older cousin at age 12 and couldn’t complete a chapter. I borrowed The Da Vinci Code from another cousin at 15 and, again, failed to understand anything at all. Other than that, I had no interest in reading books. But then my friend had written a piece for a competition and she wanted us to run it through before she handed it in. It was a short story of no more than a hundred words, titled something on the lines of “Meeting a dead man”. As she began reading it out, I experienced something I had never experienced before. I saw myself walking in the park in the foggy morning hours. I saw a man with a grey scarf sitting on an old wooden bench. I felt fear. I felt curious to know his story. That moment, my journey into the world of books began. Over the years I figured out that I’m more of a visual and kinesthetic (动觉的) person. I understand information largely through pictures and feelings. When I read a book, I see the video playing in my head and I feel the emotions in my body. A friend of mine suggested I read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, two masterpieces by Khaled Hosseini. These books fire d an interest in writing for the first time in my life, paving the way for my writing journey. I feel extremely lucky to have read some of the beautiful literary works and my list continues to grow. My heartfelt thanks go out to the writers and readers who inspired me at different stages of my life and introduced me to books that changed and continue to change my life. 4. How does the author describe his first relation with books? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 5. What changed the author’s relationship with books? A. A talk with an old man. B. The life story of a man. C. A special writing competition. D. A piece of writing by his friend. 6. How did Khaled Hosseini’s writings influence the author? A. They aroused his interest in writing. B. They showed him how to express emotions. C. They taught him ways to understand information. D. They helped him figure out his favorite book type. 7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. My Experience of Reading B. The World’s Best Reads C. My Change from Reading to Writing D. Reading: A Source of Knowledge C At the end of the last ice age, Scotland was a truly wild place, where the Highland tiger, a distinctly banded wildcat, and many other animals lived among Caledonian pine forests. But over time, humans cleared the land for wood, fuel, and agriculture. By the turn of the 20th century, only 5 per cent of Scotland’s land area was covered by forest. Now the country is experiencing a moment for rewilding—in essence, the rebuilding of ecosystems to their natural uncultivated states. No one can quite agree when the rewilding movement officially began, but one popular perspective sets it in the late 1980s. That’s when environmental charity Trees for Life moved the conversation from protecting individual species and specific habitats to restoring ecological processes on a larger scale. Today, Trees for Life is also responsible for a world first in rewilding. Beginning in spring 2023, visitors who travel to Glenmoriston, a valley in the Scottish Highlands, are able to experience the immersive Dundreggan Rewilding Centre. Located in pinewoods on Trees for Life’s 10, 000-acre estate, the campus has been developed to showcase the ambitious project. This area is now home to 4, 000 native plant and animal species. The hope is that visitors will be inspired to reengage with nature in new ways. For full immersion, the rewilding centre, with exhibitions and classrooms, will house a 40-bed complex for researchers and volunteers. In a landscape where nature-based tourism accounts for nearly 40 per cent of all visitor spend, according to government agency NatureScot, new ecotourism projects are being driven by other reintroduced species. Visitors arrive to “come to the end of the road, to connect to the environment, and to feel spiritual,” as Paul Lister, a conservationist, puts it. For now Scotland is not as it once was. While it’s appealing to see a visit to its rewilding area as a journey back in time, it’s more accurately a visit to a place with a more positive future. 8. What can we learn about Scotland’s rewilding movement? A. It aimed to recreate the scene of the ice age. B. It officially began in the early 20th century. C.

Despite recent price changes caused by bird flu outbreaks, they remain more economical than most meats and seafood. Their various cooking methods and portability make them particularly suitable for beginners in the kitchen. Cardiologists (心脏病医生) frequently encounter questions about eggs’ cholesterol (胆固醇) content. A single egg contains 207mg of dietary cholesterol, nearly triple that found in a typical breakfast sausage. However, Dr. Martha Gulati of Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute clarifies that dietary cholesterol doesn’t directly translate to blood cholesterol levels. “The liver produces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (低密度脂蛋白) primarily in response to saturated fat (饱和脂肪) intake, not dietary cholesterol,” she explains. With only 1.6g saturated fat per egg compared to 3.7g in a sausage link, eggs present a healthier choice. This understanding prompted the 2015-2019 dietary guideline revisions, with both U. S. nutrition authorities and the American Heart Association removing cholesterol limits while emphasizing moderation. Nutritional analysis reveals eggs’ unique advantages. Each 70-calorie egg delivers 6.3g complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids (氨基酸) that humans must obtain from food. Moreover, they rank among the richest natural sources of choline (胆碱) —169 mg per egg, addressing 31% of adults’ daily requirement. This nutrient also supports crucial development of unborn babies, making adequate intake vital for pregnant women. “While choline deficiency is uncommon, over 90% of expectant mothers fall short of recommended levels, ” notes dietitian Razan Hallak from Ohio State University. Safe consumption practices include thorough cooking and pairing strategies. Nutritionists recommend using heart-healthy oils like olive oil instead of butter, and combining eggs with vegetables or whole grains rather than processed meats. “The problem often lies not with eggs themselves, but with their typical high-fat companions like bacon,” cautions Dr. Philip Greenland of Northwestern University. Current research supports moderate consumption of 1 egg daily or 2 every other day as part of balanced diets. 12. What primarily causes increased LDL according to Dr. Gulati? A. Dietary cholesterol intake. B. High blood cholesterol levels. C. Nutritionally balanced diets. D. Liver’s response to saturated fat. 13 Which statement agrees with revised dietary guidelines? A. Eggs should be completely avoided by heart patients. B. Saturated fat control outweighs cholesterol concerns. C. Strict cholesterol limits remain essential for consumers. D. The maximum daily egg consumption must be made clear. 14. What cooking advice do experts emphasize? A. Using butter for better flavor. B. Combining with processed meats. C. Prioritizing vegetable pairings. D. Consuming raw for maximum nutrition. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To discuss the cholesterol content in eggs. B. To warn people about cholesterol dangers. C. To compare the pros and cons of different protein sources. D. To explain eggs’ nutritional value and proper ways to eat them. 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。 The Laba Festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month in China.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, Kevin’s passion for life was quite contagious (有感染力的). His smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart bigger than the mountain sky. Basketball was the center of Kevin’s life. At practice, he worked so hard. He liked to stand in a certain spot near the free-throw line and shoot baskets. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball, until finally it would pass through the hoop (篮筐). Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season by very large margins (差距). At the end of the season, as the last-place team, they drew the unfortunate spot of playing against the first-place team, the tall, undefeated first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter, Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. “Coach Randy, ” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket. ” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so plans were made. Every time Kevin’s team had the ball, Kevin was to stand in his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball. His first shot missed. Number 17 from the other team took the ball away, scoring two more points. As soon as Kevin’s team had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who obediently (顺从地) stood in his spot. But he missed again. This pattern continued a few more times until Number 17 finally understood the plan of Kevin’s team. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So, Number 17 threw the ball to Kevin who shot and missed again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coach Randy realized the game was already over but everyone was still cheering for Kevin. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
