The Power of Greenery It’s rather common for people to liven up their workplace by adding houseplants to it. Or to long for the desk or office with the window that looks out onto the nearby park or wooded area. Some organisations dislike such things, ____1____(prefer) instead greater consistency, but by and large, plants (and green views) in the workplace are sought after and appreciated by employees. Why, though? Why would we, as a society, put so much time and effort into constructing buildings that keep nature out, only ____2____ (keep) bringing bits of it inside them constantly? It’s not just for decorative reasons; it ____3____ (turn) out that plants and other types of greenery are actually good for productivity. This has been supported by many studies ____4____ report increases in productivity when plants are introduced into the workplace. This happens, at least in part, thanks to the process of attention restoration, sometimes ____5____ (call) ‘fascination’. The problem is, ____6____most modern human environments, there are things that ‘actively’ attract our attention. Screens, writing, numerous colours and shapes, an ever-changing variety of people, and more. Our brains like all these things, sure, but ____7____invariably have to work hard to pay attention to them all, to process the sensory information they’re providing, and so on. However,____8____ we noted earlier, our brains have limited resources for these tasks, and eventually, those resources will be exhausted. However, this doesn’t seem to happen when we look at plants and similar elements. When we look at natural greenery, it seems our brains ____9____ (occupy) without being overburdened. It’s like giving your mind a break by relaxing with a good book; it’s engaging, but in a restorative and non-demanding way. This is _____10_____greenery is helpful for productivity. It restores your brain’s resources. So if you feel that you need to go for a walk to ‘clear your head’, you’re probably being more literal than you realise. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. adaptation B. address C. applied D. claims E. compete F. dominating G. public-interest H. reemerging I. responded J. survival K. transformed Big Tech Shouldn’t Rescue the Newspaper Industry In the early 17th century, London’s St Paul’s Cathedral was a hub for news and gossip, where entrepreneurs sold handwritten “letters of news” to wealthy subscribers. Today, a similar subscription model is ____11____ in the newspaper industry, marking the end of an era when newspapers relied on mass markets and advertising for profits. For decades, newspapers sold their content below production costs to attract readers for advertisers. The old saying—“If you’re not paying, you are the product”— ____12____ as much to newspapers as it does to modern tech platforms. However, the internet has ____13____ this business model. Over the past two decades, newspaper ad revenues in America have dropped by 80%, and circulation has halved. Digital advertising hasn’t made up for these losses, with giants like Google and Facebook ____14____ the market. In the UK, for instance, Google controls over 90% of search ad revenue, while Facebook____15____ half of all display ad revenue. Faced with these challenges, newspapers are turning to governments for help, arguing that their ____16____ is vital for democracy. Recent efforts in countries like Australia and France aim to force Google and Facebook to pay for news content, while in the U.S., Congress has considered allowing newspapers to negotiate collectively with tech platforms. Google and Facebook have ____17____ with financial support. Google promised $1 billion over three years to pay publishers for selected content, and Facebook agreed to usage fees with some publishers. Yet, these payments are minimal compared to the earnings of tech giants and hardly ____18____ the deeper economic challenges of the newspaper industry. The real issue isn’t tech giants exploiting newspapers but newspapers losing control of content distribution. Unlike video and music industries, newspapers have struggled to adapt. Nonetheless, some have found success through subscriptions. The NewYorkTimes, for example, now boasts over 6.5 million subscribers, showing resilience through digital ____19____. The future of _____20_____ journalism should rest on sustainable business models, not on government funding or tech donations. Newspapers must innovate to create content readers value and are willing to pay for — just as they did centuries ago. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. When I was a child, mealtimes were treasured family moments. My favorite dish was spaghetti pomodoro, simple pasta in tomato sauce. Our meals ____21____ fresh vegetables, fruits, and, in our teenage years, a glass of red wine. Occasionally, I enjoyed a few slices of prosciutto (熏火腿) , and outdoor sports kept me active. This traditional Mediterranean diet, rooted in centuries of cultural heritage, kept me healthy and proved to be beneficial for the ____22____ well-being as well. In 2020, the Mediterranean diet celebrated its tenth anniversary as a UNESCO-designated “Cultural Heritage of Humanity.” Yet, surprisingly, Italians are ____23____ this healthy lifestyle. Fast food consumption is rising, portions are growing, and fewer families sit down for ____24____ together. Alarmingly, Italian children now rank among the most overweight in Europe, according to a World Health Organization study. This issue extends beyond Italy to become a(n) ____25____ crisis. Malnutrition is a(n) ____26____ problem: while hunger is rising globally, with 821 million people undernourished, two billion people are overweight. ____27____, one-third of all food produced is wasted.

By 2050, the global population is expected to ____29____ by 2.3 billion, intensifying the demand for meat. Since the mid-20th century, the food system has prioritized quantity over quality, ____30____ vast food waste. A fundamental shift is urgently needed to focus on producing healthier, more sustainable food. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals offer a roadmap to end hunger, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. ____31____ these goals requires governments to support sustainable farming practices, reduce food waste, and ensure healthy food is both accessible and affordable. Taxing unhealthy food is not enough; fruits and vegetables must become both profitable for farmers and ____32____ for consumers. Companies must also ____33____. At Barilla, we work with farmers to sustainably grow durum wheat, combining traditional crop rotation with modern tools like advanced weather forecasting. This improves efficiency, lowers costs, and enhances quality. ____34____, sustainability must be joyful, not punitive. Food should remain colorful, appetizing, and social. The Mediterranean diet reminds us to ____35____ vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, reduce meat consumption, and enjoy meals together. By embracing these habits, we can nourish our health and protect the planet for generations to come. 21. A. offered B. matched C. featured D. listed 22.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Cleaning can be a therapeutic activity for many people, offering a sense of calm and control during stressful or chaotic times. The act of tidying up a room or scrubbing surfaces to shine can feel like meditation in motion, temporarily pausing life’s stressors. However, when cleaning becomes compulsive or interferes with daily life, it may signal a deeper issue that needs attention. For some, cleanliness provides an immediate sense of relief and accomplishment. A University of Connecticut study led by Martin Lang revealed that in high-stress situations, such as the anticipation of public speaking, people often resort to repetitive cleaning behaviors. This reaction stems from an instinct to regain control in an unpredictable moment. Cleaning offers a way to mitigate surprises and create a safer, more predictable environment. The benefits of cleaning during anxious periods include creating a calming physical space and providing a sense of achievement. However, this behavior can become problematic when it crosses into compulsive perfectionism, disrupting other areas of life. While cleaning can reduce anxiety, it becomes an issue when it interferes with daily functioning. For example, if someone avoids socializing, is frequently late, or neglects other responsibilities because of cleaning rituals, this behavior may indicate a problem. Compulsive cleaning doesn’t necessarily point to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but could signal a need to address underlying anxiety. If you suspect your cleaning habits are becoming excessive, consulting a therapist is a helpful first step. Professionals can help identify triggers and suggest healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes can complement therapy and promote overall well-being, like exercise regularly, prioritize sleep, adopt a healthy diet and limit alcohol consumption. While cleaning can provide comfort, it’s essential to ensure it doesn’t serve as a substitute for avoiding deeper emotional issues. Life’s unpredictability cannot be eliminated with a spotless home. Seek feedback from trusted friends or family about your habits, and don’t hesitate to consult a mental health professional for guidance. Recognizing the line between constructive cleaning and compulsive behavior is key to maintaining a balanced, healthy life. With the right support and strategies, you can manage stress effectively while embracing life’s inevitable messiness. 36. What did Martin Lang’s study find about cleaning behavior? A. Cleaning reduces energy levels in stressful situations. B. Cleaning offers control during high-stress situations. C. Cleaning distracts people from focusing on stress. D. Cleaning increases anxiety during stressful periods. 37. What does compulsive cleaning often indicate? A. A desire for a minimalist lifestyle B An underlying issue like anxiety C. A preference for structured routines D. A natural tendency for perfectionism 38. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To promote cleaning for mental clarity B. To describe the benefits of cleaning C. To discuss cleaning as a stress-coping mechanism D. To explain cleaning’s impact on physical health 39. What is a suggested way to manage excessive cleaning habits? A. Schedule daily cleaning sessions for better focus B. Avoid cleaning entirely to prevent stress triggers C. Consult with friends for alternative cleaning tips D. Develop an exercise routine to reduce anxious energy (B) 40. According to the passage, what is one significant impact of customer-centricity reported by 1 in 2 senior executives? A. It increased customer loyalty immediately. B. It helped reduce operational costs on a large scale. C It impacted their organisation’s business model. D. It replaced traditional marketing strategies. 41. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Customer input is reshaping product design to a great extent. B. Firms are becoming more customer-focused due to competition. C. Technological advances are the biggest business challenge worldwide. D. Rising customer expectations are changing business models and decisions. 42. Imagine you are a manager at a company facing declining customer satisfaction. Based on the passage, what strategy would best help your company respond to this issue? A. Focus on cutting operational costs to improve profits. B. Use customer feedback to innovate and adjust business models. C. Wait for competitors to make the first move and follow their lead. D. Limit customer input to avoid confusion in product development. (C) Two billion people already eat bugs as part of their regular diet, according to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Most people in Europe, however, reject the idea of entomophagy, the technical term for the human consumption of insects. If citizens of Europe are going to have to start eating insects to fight world hunger, as the FAO has suggested, somebody will have to persuade them that it is a good idea. The main barrier to the proposal is consumer disgust. A plate of locusts (蝗虫) in a salad, where they look as if they are about to jump up at you, is more likely to put European diners off their food than encourage them to try it. One approach to dealing with this obstacle is to hide the insects contained in the food by making them into a powder to make ‘protein flour’. This process is already underway at an insect farm in Malaga, Spain, which makes fish meal for fish farms on the Andalusian coast. However, there are those who would rather see insects served in their original shape and form. Rene Redzepi, chef and co-founder of the world’s most fashionable restaurant, Noma in Copenhagen, regularly includes insects on the menu. Redzepi’s research unit, Nordic Food Lab, does experiments into insect ‘deliciousness’. Researchers at the lab believe that eating bugs is part of a wider move towards diversifying the food supply. The fact that a prestigious establishment like Noma serves bugs to its diners, who pay around €200 a head for the tasting menu, goes some way in dispelling the myth that insects are just meat for those who don’t have money. Despite the dislike for insects, economics and demographics make it all but inevitable that the Western world will ultimately start eating them. Insect marketers are looking to sushi for inspiration. In the UK, people initially had problems with it because they weren’t used to eating raw fish. But in thirty years, it has gone from being relative unknown to being available in every supermarket. If the same can be done with insects, then the battle against world hunger may be won. However, this will only be achieved if the top chefs can come up with recipes for using this cheap source of food in dishes that appeal to the general public. 43. What is one method mentioned in the passage to make insects more acceptable to European diners? A. Serving them raw like sushi. B. Processing them into a powder. C. Cooking them with expensive spices. D. Mixing them with fish in salads. 44. Where does Rene Redzepi’s restaurant, Noma, source its research on insect ‘deliciousness’? A. The United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization. B. An insect farm in Malaga, Spain. C. Nordic Food Lab. D. Supermarkets in the UK. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the nutritional value of insects and fish. B. To explore why Europeans prefer sushi over insects. C. To explain how Noma became the world’s most fashionable restaurant. D. To discuss challenges and solutions for promoting insect consumption in Europe. 46. Based on the passage, why might insect marketers look to sushi for inspiration? A. Sushi is made from insects and has become popular worldwide. B. Sushi’s rise in popularity shows how unfamiliar foods are accepted. C. Sushi is much cheaper to produce than insect-based dishes. D. Sushi chefs have already started using insects in their recipes. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Looking In Looking in is about self-assessment. You need to discover who you are and to make the most of your uniqueness. Knowing your strengths, likes, learning styles and values can help you find direction on your career journey. ____47____ Knowing what you want and keeping it in mind can give you the motivation you need. Find out what you love to do and what you’re good at by developing your interests. The sky is the limit. Try a variety of activities in order to discover your passions and to develop different skills and talents. Whether you try your hand at cooking, rock-climbing or blogging, the skills you develop will be useful when the time comes to strike out on your own because it will help you to better understand yourself. ____48____ For example getting involved in the school play allows extroverts the chance to perform on the stage, while introverts can stay behind the scenes on the technical team, creative types will enjoy the chance to design sets and costumes. The possibilities are endless. Keep in mind that with every experience you can learn something about yourself and that this knowledge will help you to find your way. ____49____ Although it may sometimes be difficult, saying what you want and expressing your opinions, thoughts and ideas is an important step in developing your personality and your values. When you feel strongly enough about something to voice your opinion and to fight for it, the real you is shining through. You are telling others that you have something worth saying; that you want to be heard. There are many opportunities to express yourself. Play an active role in the decision-making at home and at school. ____50____ If you want to improve your communication skills, build self-esteem and self-confidence, get involved in projects at home, at school and in your community that allow you to voice your opinion about issues that have an impact on your happiness and your future. A. A part-time job will teach you how to be part of a team and possibly even to become a team leader. B. Fantasizing about your future can help you to understand what you really want in life. C. Having a destination gives you direction, but the key to a successful career path is to pay attention along the way. D. Learn to say what you think and how you feel about something. E. Once you begin to recognize that inner voice, listen to it. F. You should recognize that an activity can present different opportunities to different people. III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Science Fiction Science fiction has long attracted readers with its imaginative worlds, futuristic technologies, and bold visions of what might lie ahead. But beyond entertainment, science fiction holds a deeper value: it offers a unique lens through which we can explore the future. Although science fiction is often set in distant futures, its real strength lies in its reflection of present-day issues. Sci-fi writers explore topics like artificial intelligence, ecological collapse, and shifting social norms. By projecting current concerns into speculative futures, these stories stretch our imaginations and reveal where today’s paths might lead. For instance, the rise of Chinese science fiction offers subtle commentary on national identity and societal change, giving readers a glimpse of the hopes and fears shaping one of the world’s most influential nations. Science fiction is also increasingly used as a strategic tool. Organizations ranging from government defense agencies to tech firms have turned to sci-fi writers to help them envision unlikely or overlooked scenarios. This practice, sometimes called “design fiction,” allows planners to stretch their thinking and break free from conventional models. As Eliot Peper noted, science fiction helps people “reframe our perspective” and see past the limits of today’s assumptions, making it a valuable resource for decision-making in uncertain times. Perhaps the most visible impact of science fiction is its ability to inspire real-world innovation. Many of today’s most transformative technologies began as ideas in sci-fi novels or shows. From mobile phones modeled on Star Trek communicators to brain-computer interfaces like those imagined in Neal Stephenson’s books, science fiction provides a vision of what could be—and motivates inventors to make it real. Science fiction may not always predict exactly what’s to come, but its influence on the future is undeniable. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Cleaning can be a therapeutic activity for many people, offering a sense of calm and control during stressful or chaotic times. The act of tidying up a room or scrubbing surfaces to shine can feel like meditation in motion, temporarily pausing life’s stressors. However, when cleaning becomes compulsive or interferes with daily life, it may signal a deeper issue that needs attention. For some, cleanliness provides an immediate sense of relief and accomplishment. A University of Connecticut study led by Martin Lang revealed that in high-stress situations, such as the anticipation of public speaking, people often resort to repetitive cleaning behaviors. This reaction stems from an instinct to regain control in an unpredictable moment. Cleaning offers a way to mitigate surprises and create a safer, more predictable environment. The benefits of cleaning during anxious periods include creating a calming physical space and providing a sense of achievement. However, this behavior can become problematic when it crosses into compulsive perfectionism, disrupting other areas of life. While cleaning can reduce anxiety, it becomes an issue when it interferes with daily functioning. For example, if someone avoids socializing, is frequently late, or neglects other responsibilities because of cleaning rituals, this behavior may indicate a problem. Compulsive cleaning doesn’t necessarily point to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but could signal a need to address underlying anxiety. If you suspect your cleaning habits are becoming excessive, consulting a therapist is a helpful first step. Professionals can help identify triggers and suggest healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes can complement therapy and promote overall well-being, like exercise regularly, prioritize sleep, adopt a healthy diet and limit alcohol consumption. While cleaning can provide comfort, it’s essential to ensure it doesn’t serve as a substitute for avoiding deeper emotional issues. Life’s unpredictability cannot be eliminated with a spotless home. Seek feedback from trusted friends or family about your habits, and don’t hesitate to consult a mental health professional for guidance. Recognizing the line between constructive cleaning and compulsive behavior is key to maintaining a balanced, healthy life. With the right support and strategies, you can manage stress effectively while embracing life’s inevitable messiness. 36. What did Martin Lang’s study find about cleaning behavior? A. Cleaning reduces energy levels in stressful situations. B. Cleaning offers control during high-stress situations. C. Cleaning distracts people from focusing on stress. D. Cleaning increases anxiety during stressful periods. 37. What does compulsive cleaning often indicate? A. A desire for a minimalist lifestyle B. An underlying issue like anxiety C. A preference for structured routines D. A natural tendency for perfectionism 38. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To promote cleaning for mental clarity B. To describe the benefits of cleaning C. To discuss cleaning as a stress-coping mechanism D. To explain cleaning’s impact on physical health 39. What is a suggested way to manage excessive cleaning habits? A. Schedule daily cleaning sessions for better focus B. Avoid cleaning entirely to prevent stress triggers C. Consult with friends for alternative cleaning tips D. Develop an exercise routine to reduce anxious energy 【答案】36. B 37. B 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕清洁这一主题，探讨了清洁对人心理的影响，如能带来平静感和掌控感，还分析了过度清洁可能存在的问题以及应对方法等。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A University of Connecticut study led by Martin Lang revealed that in high-stress situations, such as the anticipation of public speaking, people often resort to repetitive cleaning behaviors. This reaction stems from an instinct to regain control in an unpredictable moment.(康涅狄格大学由Martin Lang主导的一项研究显示，在高压力情境下（如即将进行公开演讲时），人们常常会诉诸重复性的清洁行为。这种反应源于在不可预测的时刻重新掌控局面的本能。)”可知，研究发现高压力下人们通过清洁行为重新掌控局面。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Compulsive cleaning doesn’t necessarily point to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but could signal a need to address underlying anxiety.(强迫性清洁未必直接指向强迫症（OCD），但可能表明需要处理潜在的焦虑情绪。)”可知，强迫性清洁可能暗示需要处理潜在的问题，例如焦虑。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕“清洁行为与压力应对”展开，首先肯定清洁在缓解焦虑、提供掌控感方面的积极作用，随后讨论其可能演变为强迫行为的风险，并建议通过专业帮助和生活方式调整应对过度清洁。核心在于分析清洁作为一种 “压力应对机制” 的双重性。选项C“To discuss cleaning as a stress-coping mechanism(探讨清洁作为压力应对机制)”涵盖“缓解压力”和“过度使用的问题”，符合全文内容。故选C。 39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes can complement therapy and promote overall well-being, like exercise regularly, prioritize sleep, adopt a healthy diet and limit alcohol consumption.(此外，改变生活方式可作为治疗的补充，促进整体健康，如定期锻炼、保证睡眠、健康饮食和限制饮酒。)”可知，作者建议通过规律锻炼、保证睡眠等生活方式调整来辅助管理过度清洁的习惯。故选D。 (B) 40. According to the passage, what is one significant impact of customer-centricity reported by 1 in 2 senior executives? A. It increased customer loyalty immediately. B.

Customer input is reshaping product design to a great extent. B. Firms are becoming more customer-focused due to competition. C. Technological advances are the biggest business challenge worldwide. D. Rising customer expectations are changing business models and decisions. 42. Imagine you are a manager at a company facing declining customer satisfaction. Based on the passage, what strategy would best help your company respond to this issue? A. Focus on cutting operational costs to improve profits. B. Use customer feedback to innovate and adjust business models. C. Wait for competitors to make the first move and follow their lead. D. Limit customer input to avoid confusion in product development. 【答案】40. C 41. D 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在数字化进程加快和客户期望不断上升的背景下，各大企业正逐渐转向“以客户为中心”的经营模式，以及这种转变对企业业务模式以及决策所带来的影响。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“1 in 2 senior executives report that a greater need for customer-centricity has had a significant impact on their organisation’s business model in the past five years(有一半高级管理人员报告称，对客户中心化的更大需求在过去五年中对其组织的商业模式产生了重大影响)”可知，一半以上的管理者认为客户中心化对其公司业务模式产生了深刻影响。故选C。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据标题“Rising customer expectations are turning companies outside-in(不断上升的客户期望正在使企业从内而外地转变)”可知，不断提高的客户期望正在让公司从外到内进行转变，文章接着阐述了客户期望提高带来的一系列影响，包括公司商业模式受影响、决策更多融入客户意见等。文章核心在于说明客户期望上升正在改变企业的商业模式与决策方式。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“50% of the executives surveyed strongly agree that businesses that do not include customers in innovation processes will fall behind(50%的受访高管强烈认为不将客户纳入创新过程的企业将会落后)”可知，倾听并运用客户反馈来调整和创新业务模式，是应对客户需求的关键策略。故选B。 (C) Two billion people already eat bugs as part of their regular diet, according to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Most people in Europe, however, reject the idea of entomophagy, the technical term for the human consumption of insects. If citizens of Europe are going to have to start eating insects to fight world hunger, as the FAO has suggested, somebody will have to persuade them that it is a good idea. The main barrier to the proposal is consumer disgust. A plate of locusts (蝗虫) in a salad, where they look as if they are about to jump up at you, is more likely to put European diners off their food than encourage them to try it. One approach to dealing with this obstacle is to hide the insects contained in the food by making them into a powder to make ‘protein flour’. This process is already underway at an insect farm in Malaga, Spain, which makes fish meal for fish farms on the Andalusian coast. However, there are those who would rather see insects served in their original shape and form. Rene Redzepi, chef and co-founder of the world’s most fashionable restaurant, Noma in Copenhagen, regularly includes insects on the menu. Redzepi’s research unit, Nordic Food Lab, does experiments into insect ‘deliciousness’. Researchers at the lab believe that eating bugs is part of a wider move towards diversifying the food supply. The fact that a prestigious establishment like Noma serves bugs to its diners who pay around €200 a head for the tasting menu, goes some way in dispelling the myth that insects are just meat for those who don’t have money. Despite the dislike for insects, economics and demographics make it all but inevitable that the Western world will ultimately start eating them. Insect marketers are looking to sushi for inspiration. In the UK, people initially had problems with it because they weren’t used to eating raw fish. But in thirty years, it has gone from being relative unknown to being available in every supermarket. If the same can be done with insects, then the battle against world hunger may be won. However, this will only be achieved if the top chefs can come up with recipes for using this cheap source of food in dishes that appeal to the general public. 43. What is one method mentioned in the passage to make insects more acceptable to European diners? A. Serving them raw like sushi. B. Processing them into a powder. C. Cooking them with expensive spices. D. Mixing them with fish in salads. 44. Where does Rene Redzepi’s restaurant, Noma, source its research on insect ‘deliciousness’? A. The United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization. B. An insect farm in Malaga, Spain. C. Nordic Food Lab. D. Supermarkets in the UK. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the nutritional value of insects and fish. B. To explore why Europeans prefer sushi over insects. C. To explain how Noma became the world’s most fashionable restaurant. D. To discuss challenges and solutions for promoting insect consumption in Europe. 46. Based on the passage, why might insect marketers look to sushi for inspiration? A. Sushi is made from insects and has become popular worldwide. B. Sushi’s rise in popularity shows how unfamiliar foods are accepted. C. Sushi is much cheaper to produce than insect-based dishes. D. Sushi chefs have already started using insects in their recipes. 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. D 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在欧洲推广食用昆虫的障碍和潜在解决方案，并指出随着人口和经济压力，西方接受昆虫食品可能是必然趋势。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One approach to dealing with this obstacle is to hide the insects contained in the food by making them into a powder to make ‘protein flour’. (解决这一障碍的方法之一是将昆虫制成粉末，加工成“蛋白粉”，从而隐藏食物中的昆虫成分)”可知，让昆虫更容易被欧洲食客接受的一种方法是将它们加工成粉末。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Rene Redzepi, chef and co-founder of the world’s most fashionable restaurant, Noma in Copenhagen, regularly includes insects on the menu. Redzepi’s research unit, Nordic Food Lab, does experiments into insect ‘deliciousness’. (哥本哈根全球最时尚餐厅Noma的主厨兼联合创始人Rene Redzepi定期将昆虫列入菜单。他领导的研究机构北欧料理实验室正在进行昆虫“美味性”的相关实验)”可知，Rene Redzepi的餐厅Noma在北欧料理实验室对昆虫的“美味性”进行了研究。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“If citizens of Europe are going to have to start eating insects to fight world hunger, as the FAO has suggested, somebody will have to persuade them that it is a good idea. (如果欧洲民众真要按照联合国粮农组织的建议，通过食用昆虫来应对全球饥饿问题，那么必须有人能说服他们接受这个主意)”可知，文章围绕欧洲人对食用昆虫的抵触和解决方案展开，介绍了制成粉末、高端餐厅推广、借鉴寿司的接受过程的解决方法，核心目的是探讨推广昆虫食用的挑战与对策。故选D项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Insect marketers are looking to sushi for inspiration. In the UK, people initially had problems with it because they weren’t used to eating raw fish. But in thirty years, it has gone from being relative unknown to being available in every supermarket. (昆虫食品推广者正从寿司中寻找灵感。在英国，人们最初难以接受寿司，因为他们不习惯食用生鱼。但三十年间，寿司从鲜为人知变得随处可见——如今每家超市都能买到)”可知，此处以寿司为例，说明英国人最初不习惯生鱼，但30年后寿司已普及，其流行轨迹印证了陌生食物如何被大众接受，因此昆虫食品营销者可以从中获取灵感。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

Find out what you love to do and what you’re good at by developing your interests. The sky is the limit. Try a variety of activities in order to discover your passions and to develop different skills and talents.(明确自己想要什么并牢记于心，能为你提供所需的动力。通过培养兴趣，找出你热爱做的事和擅长的领域——你的潜力无可限量。尝试各种活动，以此发现自己的热情所在，并培养不同的技能和才华)”指出要明确自己想要什么并牢记于心，因为这能为自己提供所需的动力。选项B“Fantasizing about your future can help you to understand what you really want in life.(幻想你的未来可以帮助你理解你真正想要什么)”与后文内容相呼应，强调了想象未来对于理解自己真正需求的重要性。故选B。 【48题详解】 空后“For example getting involved in the school play allows extroverts the chance to perform on the stage, while introverts can stay behind the scenes on the technical team, creative types will enjoy the chance to design sets and costumes.(例如，参与校园戏剧演出时，外向者有机会在舞台上表演，内向者可以在幕后加入技术团队，富有创意的人则会享受设计场景和服装的机会)”举例说明不同性格的人在同一活动（校园剧）中承担不同角色。选项F“You should recognize that an activity can present different opportunities to different people.(你应该认识到，一项活动能为不同的人带来不同的机会)”概括了例子的核心逻辑，即通过多样化活动发现自我。故选F。 【49题详解】 下文“Although it may sometimes be difficult, saying what you want and expressing your opinions, thoughts and ideas is an important step in developing your personality and your values.

You are telling others that you have something worth saying; that you want to be heard.(尽管有时可能困难，但说出你想要什么，表达你的观点、想法和见解，是塑造个性和价值观的重要一步。当你对某件事有足够强烈的看法，敢于发声并为之争取时，真实的你便会闪耀光芒。这是在告诉他人：你有值得分享的观点，你希望被倾听)”主要讲述的是要表达出自己想法。选项D“Learn to say what you think and how you feel about something.(学会表达你的想法和对事物的感受)”与下文内容相符。故选D。 【50题详解】 空前“Play an active role in the decision-making at home and at school.(在家庭和学校的决策中积极发挥作用。)”建议读者在家庭和学校决策中积极参与；而空后“If you want to improve your communication skills, build self-esteem and self-confidence, get involved in projects at home, at school and in your community that allow you to voice your opinion about issues that have an impact on your happiness and your future.(如果你想提升沟通能力、建立自尊和自信，请参与家庭、学校和社区的项目，这些项目能让你就影响自身幸福和未来的问题发表见解。)”则讨论了提升沟通能力、建立自信的方法。选项A“A part-time job will teach you how to be part of a team and possibly even to become a team leader.(一份兼职工作会教会你如何成为团队的一员，甚至可能让你成为团队领导者。)”是对“参与实践”的具体举例，且“团队合作、领导力”属于能力提升范畴，与上下文衔接自然。故选A。 III. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Science Fiction Science fiction has long attracted readers with its imaginative worlds, futuristic technologies, and bold visions of what might lie ahead. But beyond entertainment, science fiction holds a deeper value: it offers a unique lens through which we can explore the future. Although science fiction is often set in distant futures, its real strength lies in its reflection of present-day issues. Sci-fi writers explore topics like artificial intelligence, ecological collapse, and shifting social norms. By projecting current concerns into speculative futures, these stories stretch our imaginations and reveal where today’s paths might lead. For instance, the rise of Chinese science fiction offers subtle commentary on national identity and societal change, giving readers a glimpse of the hopes and fears shaping one of the world’s most influential nations. Science fiction is also increasingly used as a strategic tool. Organizations ranging from government defense agencies to tech firms have turned to sci-fi writers to help them envision unlikely or overlooked scenarios. This practice, sometimes called “design fiction,” allows planners to stretch their thinking and break free from conventional models. As Eliot Peper noted, science fiction helps people “reframe our perspective” and see past the limits of today’s assumptions, making it a valuable resource for decision-making in uncertain times. Perhaps the most visible impact of science fiction is its ability to inspire real-world innovation. Many of today’s most transformative technologies began as ideas in sci-fi novels or shows. From mobile phones modeled on Star Trek communicators to brain-computer interfaces like those imagined in Neal Stephenson’s books, science fiction provides a vision of what could be—and motivates inventors to make it real. Science fiction may not always predict exactly what’s to come, but its influence on the future is undeniable. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Science fiction helps us think about the future by exploring today’s problems, inspiring creative planning, and encouraging new inventions.
