Palazzo grew up in the countryside of Brazil, where her early exposure to agriculture inspired a lifelong passion to further explore the subject. A key chapter in her journey was her experience in China, a major agricultural powerhouse.
Palazzo earned a full scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in Chinese studies at the Agriculture School of Renmin University of China. During field trips with her international classmates, Palazzo was deeply impressed by China’s agricultural creation. In a village in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, she was amazed by how local family farms maximized small spaces for production using advanced technology, rather than relying on large pieces of land. She also noticed the wide variety of agricultural products from different regions of China available in supermarkets.
“One similarity between China and Brazil is that both countries focus on improving land productivity” she said. With a degree in agriculture and a strong background in agribusiness, Palazzo believes that agricultural production is not just about farming — it’s deeply connected with economics, politics, culture, logistics, and marketing.
Palazzo currently leads the agri-inputs department at a company in Brazil, where she is actively involved in the agribusiness sector and works closely with many Chinese companies. “My study experience in China gave me a whole new perspective on the industry,” she said. It helped her better understand the dynamics of the Chinese market and how to work with Chinese entrepreneurs (企业家).
She believes there is huge potential for partnership between China and Brazil in terms of industry and agriculture. With growing China-Brazil ties and China’s expanding influence in the global economy, Palazzo has made cooperation with China a key part of her future career plans.

Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it’s logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody didn’t say “thanks,” we often think, they must not have been very grateful. And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual.
But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Thankfulness suggests that no, we do not.
The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha’palaa, Murrinhpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange.
The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist! In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connection.
Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you.” “When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”
8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Figure out. D. Mix up.
9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study?
A. By saying thanks directly.
B. By making social agreements.
C. By using body language.
D. By helping and cooperating.
10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives?
A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance.
C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust.
11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph?
A. Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness.
B Thankfulness might not be expressed in words.
C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends.
D. The negative effects of thanking should be avoided.

For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each semester, we’ve asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists. Students’ favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap (重叠).
Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them.
Some young people feel that AI generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the“Top-40” artists. However, AI generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open.
Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others?
Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending ofa TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004?
If AI is, indeed, contributing to the transformation of teenagers’ shared listening experiences, then AI playlists are more than a convenient way to discover their next favorites. They are a revolution worth paying attention to.
12. What makes teenagers’ music listening experiences more private?
A. The popularization of music education. B. The lack of interaction among teenagers.
C. The easy access to musical instruments. D. The extensive use of electronic devices.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about concerning AI generated playlists?
A. Their advantages. B. Their accessibility.
C. Their limitations. D. Their development.
14. What challenge may AI generated playlists present?
A. They result in the decline of network TV. B. They prevent teens choosing similar songs.
C. They make identifying oneself impossible. D. They provide less for teens to communicate.
15. Why does the author mention Friends in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the potential social influence of AI.
B. To tell us the predictability of new technology.
C. To explain people’s willingness to accept AI.
D. To emphasize its popularity among Americans.

Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you.” “When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”
8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Figure out. D. Mix up.
9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study?
A. By saying thanks directly.
B. By making social agreements.
C. By using body language.
D. By helping and cooperating.
10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives?
A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance.
C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust.
11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph?
A. Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness.
B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words.
C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends.
D. The negative effects of thanking should be avoided.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现不同文化表达感激的方式有差异,很多语言甚至无“谢谢”一词,且普遍表达靠互助合作 。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段第二句“So it’s logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness.(所以,说英语的人倾向于把表达感激之情和感激之情本身conflate,这是合乎逻辑的)”以及下一句“If somebody didn’t say ‘thanks,’ we often think, they must not have been very grateful.(如果有人没有说‘谢谢’,我们常常会认为,他们一定不是很感激)”可知,说英语的人常把说“谢谢”这种表达感激的方式和内心真正的感激之情弄混了。conflate意思是“混淆,混为一谈”,与Mix up(混淆)意思相符。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm.(研究结果表明,表达感激之情的普遍方式不是通过说谢谢,而是通过参与一种社会约定,在这种约定中,相互帮助和合作是常态)”可知,普遍表达感激的方式是通过相互帮助和合作。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“In India, for example, people-especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends-tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist!(例如,在印度,人们 —— 尤其是当他们是你的长辈、亲戚或亲密朋友时 —— 往往会觉得,感谢他们会削弱你与他们的亲密关系,并制造出本不该存在的正式感和距离感!)”可知,印度人认为向亲戚表达感谢会削弱他们之间的联系。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for ‘thank you.’ ‘When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.’(这项研究的首席研究员尼克・恩菲尔德表示,世界上6000到7000种语言中,大多数都没有‘谢谢’这个词。‘当我们考虑到感谢亲密关系的负面影响,以及许多语言是在非常小的社区中使用的,在这些社区中,说话的人很可能彼此认识这一事实时,这种说法就开始显得相当合理了。’)”可知,尼克・恩菲尔德暗示,很多语言中没有“谢谢”这个词,结合前文提到不同文化中表达感谢的方式不同,可推断出感激之情可能不是通过语言来表达的。故选B。
D
For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each semester, we’ve asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists. Students’ favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap (重叠).
Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them.
Some young people feel that AI generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the“Top-40” artists. However, AI generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open.
Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others?
Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending ofa TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004?
If AI is, indeed, contributing to the transformation of teenagers’ shared listening experiences, then AI playlists are more than a convenient way to discover their next favorites. They are a revolution worth paying attention to.
12. What makes teenagers’ music listening experiences more private?
A The popularization of music education. B. The lack of interaction among teenagers.
C. The easy access to musical instruments. D. The extensive use of electronic devices.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about concerning AI generated playlists?
A. Their advantages. B. Their accessibility.
C. Their limitations. D. Their development.
14. What challenge may AI generated playlists present?
A. They result in the decline of network TV. B. They prevent teens choosing similar songs.
C. They make identifying oneself impossible. D. They provide less for teens to communicate.
15. Why does the author mention Friends in Paragraph 5?
A. To show the potential social influence of AI.
B. To tell us the predictability of new technology.
C. To explain people’s willingness to accept AI.
D. To emphasize its popularity among Americans.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能生成播放列表,为青少年提供了更广泛的音乐选择。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them.(的确,如今听音乐是一种非常私人和个人的体验,随着iPod和智能手机的推出,这种体验更是如此。当青少年通过流媒体听音乐时,人工智能和社交媒体平台会联合起来,为他们推荐个性化的播放列表)”可知,电子产品的使用和普及使听音乐更加个性化,故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Some young people feel that AI generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the“Top-40” artists. However, AI generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think their AI influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or sharing playlists. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open.(一些年轻人认为,人工智能生成的播放列表让他们接触到一些无聊的东西。他们的播放列表中充斥着他们从未听说过的歌曲和艺术家,但它们听起来都很相似。在过去,他们可能没有注意到这种情况。他们的音乐消费被“前40名”歌手勉强占据。然而,人工智能生成的播放列表改变了这一点,因为有更广泛的音乐可供选择。如果他们认为人工智能影响的播放列表没有吸引力,他们仍然有能力搜索新的音乐。仅仅因为人工智能可以推荐歌曲,这并不妨碍它们自己研究和发现音乐,或者分享播放列表。他们能找到任何存在的东西。这家商店一直营业)”可知,第三段通过比较的方式,主要强调了AI生成式歌单的优点,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity, while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI generated playlists have the potential to challenge this transition. So does AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others?(音乐聆听和音乐偏好在年轻人从童年到成年的过渡过程中扮演着重要的角色,这是两个看似对立但至关重要的过程:形成一个独特的身份,同时成为一个社区的一部分。然而,人工智能生成的播放列表有可能挑战这种转变。那么,人工智能是否让我们更容易区分自我,但却更难与他人建立联系?)”可知,AI生成式歌单可能呈现的挑战是让青少年之间的联系更加困难,减少了共同讨论、交流的话题的机会,故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending of a TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004?(对新技术的恐惧是司空见惯的。例如,定期电视网络的衰落抹去了许多讨论的共同基础,那么5000万美国人还会像2004年看《老友记》那样,收看电视节目的结局吗?)”可知,AI可能造成的社会影响,故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些最好的团体志愿服务的想法。
【16题详解】
前文“Group volunteer opportunities are multi-person service projects that improve volunteers’ towns, regions, or even the world. (团体志愿者机会是一种多人参与的服务项目,可以改善志愿者所在的城镇、地区甚至是世界)”提到团体志愿者的机会影响广泛,后文“and that will encourage them to contribute to the broader community (这将鼓励他们为更广泛的社区做出贡献)”进一步指出某一群体如何被影响,因此E项“These projects can give teammates a shared purpose (这些项目可以给团队成员一个共同的目标)”符合语境,讨论了这些项目如何影响团队成员,承前启后,其中的These projects指代前文的multi-person service projects,而a shared purpose是后文that指代的对象。故选E。
【17题详解】
前文“According to an official report, more than three million individuals are now homeless in North America. (根据一份官方报告,现在北美有300多万人无家可归)”提到了北美无家可归的人数量庞大,后文“However, you can help the homeless by volunteering. (然而,你可以通过志愿服务来帮助无家可归的人)”有转折,提到可以志愿帮助无家可归的人,因此D项“Unfortunately, many people overlook this situation (不幸的是,许多人忽视了这种情况)”符合语境,指出无家可归的问题常被忽略,承接前文,和后文构成转折。故选D。
【18题详解】
空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式;后文“This volunteering idea might be perfect for your team if you have members crazy about planting vegetables. It is a great way to connect with nearby residents and enjoy the great outdoors. Plus, you’ll get to share the fruits of your labor with the whole community. (如果你的团队中有喜欢种菜的成员,那么这个志愿活动的想法可能非常适合你的团队。这是与附近居民联系并享受户外活动的好方法。此外,你还可以与整个社区分享你的劳动成果)”讲的是种植蔬菜和与社区分享劳动成果,这与社区花园有关,因此A项“Grow a garden for the community (为社区种植一个花园)”符合本段主旨,契合后文内容。故选A。
【19题详解】
前文“Community clean-up events bring people together to improve their environment while strengthening social bonds between neighbors and volunteers. These activities can make the community look beautiful and contribute to a healthier environment. (社区清洁活动将人们聚集在一起改善环境,同时加强邻居和志愿者之间的社会联系。这些活动可以使社区看起来更漂亮,并有助于一个更健康的环境)”讨论了社区清理活动的好处,因此F项“They also encourage a sense of pride and responsibility among locals (它们还能激发当地人的自豪感和责任感)”符合语境,进一步阐述了积极的影响,承接前文。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“If you are looking for a way to gather pet food, then visit pet businesses in your neighborhood, or ask for donations from family and friends. (如果你正在寻找一种收集宠物食品的方法,那么就去附近的宠物店看看,或者向家人和朋友索要捐赠)”介绍了收集宠物食品的一种方法;后文“so the team members can clean animals for a bag of pet food in this activity (所以在本次活动中,团队成员可以通过清洁动物获得一袋宠物食物)”指出清洁动物也是获得宠物食物的方法,因此C项“You could also organize a “Pet Wash” (你也可以组织一次‘宠物清洗’)”符合语境,介绍另一个与宠物有关的活动,承接前文,后文是其结果。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秋分代表的意义及秋分的一些习俗。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:秋分位于秋天的中点,把秋天分成相等的两部分。分析句子成分和句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词lies,无连词,可推断这是一个简单句,所以设空处是非谓语动词;divide与逻辑主语Autumn Equinox之间是主动关系,表示主动要用现在分词。故填dividing。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:在这一天之后,阳光直射的位置移向南方,使得北半球的白天变短,夜晚变长。根据句中的并列连词and及后面的longer可知,设空处要填比较级。故填shorter。
【38题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:古书中说,秋分这天,阴阳处于平衡状态。分析句子成分和句子结构可知,___3___ is said in the ancient book充当系动词is的主语,所以这是一个主语从句;分析主语从句句子成分可知,从句缺少主语,所以要用疑问代词;根据句意可知,设空处指代“古书中说的内容”,所以要用what。故填What。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:古书中说,秋分这天,阴阳处于平衡状态。设空处位于名词power前面充当定语,与被修饰名词power之间是被动关系,所以要用过去分词形式。故填balanced。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:到了秋分,中国大部分地区都进入了凉爽的秋天。根据时间状语by+现在的时间点可知,句子要用现在完成时;句子主语most of the areas为复数,所以助动词用have。故填have entered。
【41题详解】
考查副词作状语。句意:气温也经常下降。设空处修饰动词drops,所以要用副词形式。故填frequently。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:将鸡蛋竖着,这是中国的传统习俗,在这一天做被认为是最好的。custom为可数名词单数形式,所以前面要有限定词;此处没有特指,且traditional为辅音音节发音的单词,所以要用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。句意:但曾经有人质疑,把蛋竖起来和时间有什么关系。分析句子成分和结构可知,句中的whether引导主语从句,it是形式主语;根据once可知,此处描述的是过去的事件,所以要用一般过去时;主语it与question之间是被动关系,所以要有一般过去时的被动语态。故填was questioned。
【44题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:用这种方法,诀窍就是把鸡蛋拿着,直到蛋黄尽可能地下沉。根据句意可知,设空处意为“直到……为止”,应用until引导时间状语从句。故填until。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:为此,你最好选择大约4或5天的鸡蛋,这种蛋的蛋黄很可能下沉。此处是非限制性定语从句;分析定语从句句子成分可知,设空处代替先行词egg,充当定语,所以要用whose。故填whose。
第三部分 书面表达(共三节满分50分)
第一节 单词拼写。请使用必修第二册Unit 4-5及必修第三册Unit 1-2范围内单词作答。(共10题,每题1分,满分10分)

【答案】generous
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:他在时间上很慷慨,对此我很感激。根据汉语提示可知,空处需要形容词generous“慷慨的,大方的”,在句中作表语。故填generous。
47. Once upon a time, a king lived in a castle _______ (围绕) by wonderful scenery. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】surrounded
【解析】
