The evidence comes from the remains of a creature that lived some two hundred thirty seven million years ago and stood just ten seven meters tall, which was much smaller than the dinosaur found in brazil in nineteen ninety nine. IT may also help reveal origins of flying creatures at the time of the dinosaurs. Christian camera from the north CarOlina museum of natural sciences said that there's a general idea of dinosaurs as being creatures of big size, but this new animal is surprisingly small. The small creature found was named on gona fon Kelly. IT was discovered in nineteen nineteen ninety eight in mega by a team of scientists from america. It's origins, that is, early dinosaurs are poorly known, as few early creatures of their type have been found. The shape of the conga fon kelleys teeth suggests that lived on insects rather than leaves or grass. A shift to this kind of diet may have helped this early creatures survived by being different from their mostly meat eating relatives.

Women are, and have always been, essential to innovation. Here we honor 3 women who shaped the world with their imagination, dedication, and perseverance.
Dr. Lin Lanying—Synthesis of Crystals and Semiconductor Materials
Dr. Lin Lanying was born in 1918 in Putian, China. Her family didn’t believe education was important for girls and she wasn’t permitted to attend school, but despite her family’s objections, she eventually obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. Lin returned to China in 1957. There, she and her team synthesized(合成)crystals of aerospace and semiconductor materials. Today, she is recognized as the “mother of aerospace materials” and the “mother of semiconductor materials” in China.
Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi—Saruhashi’s Table
Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi was born in Tokyo in 1920. She earned a degree in chemistry in 1943and was the first woman to receive a Ph. D. in chemistry from the University of Tokyo in 1957. She went on to work at the Meteorological Research Institute and it was there she invented a new way to measure the amount of carbon in the ocean, which became known as Saruhashi’s Table. She was the first woman elected to the Science Council of Japan and the first woman to win the Miyake Prize for geochemistry in 1985.
Anna Modayi Mani—Instruments to Measure the Weather

In 1948, she joined the Indian Meteorological Department where she was responsible for the construction of radiation instruments. Mani created drawings for nearly 100 different weather instruments and started their production. She also set up a network of weather monitoring stations in India to measure solar radiation and help use solar energy.
21. Which word best describes Lin Lanying according to the text?

In the 2010s, 34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a marine biologist. No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: large amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something. Determined to fix the problem at the source, she planned to open a shop that went further than banning plastic bags.
In 2015, she cold-called a Vancouver Patagonia store and, explaining how her mission mirrored that brand’s emphasis on sustainability, convinced its managers to host her first pop-up (快闪店). Her stock consisted of about 10 jars of dried strawberries, locally made chocolate and nuts. She sold out in one afternoon—and knew she was onto something.
In June 2018, after 18 months of successful pop-ups, Miller opened Nada, one of Canada’s first zero-waste grocery stores. Designed for easy zero-waste shopping, it offers free and upcycled containers at the entrance, so customers can choose to bring their own or use the provided ones. Nada sells the food items you’d expect—all 100 percent package-free. Miller also turned to online ordering and delivery. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs (and you can purchase just one, if you’d like) comes delivered in upcycled containers, which are collected (and reused again, of course) with the next round of deliveries.
Those containers do much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller had hoped they would. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,” she says, and then smiles. “If you open someone’s pantry (食品储藏室) and see all of these Nada-branded packages, it’s bound to start a conversation.”
24. What inspired Brianne Miller to take action?
A. Her ambition to establish a zero-waste brand.
B. The plastic pollution threatening marine life.
C. Her passion for sustainable food production.
D. The cooperation offered from Patagonia store.
25. What does the underline word “something” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. A difficult problem to solve.
B. A personal hobby to pursue.
C. A promising business opportunity.
D. A complicated marketing strategy.
26. What is special about Nada?
A. It only sells local products.
B. It aims at zero-waste shopping.
C. It offers free food to customers.
D. It has the largest number of containers.
27. How did Miller expect the containers to influence people?
A. By making them buy more products.
B. By encouraging them to collect stickers.
C. By promoting reflection on environment.
D By teaching them how to reuse containers.
C
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out to be wrong.
A recent study finds that the woman in the famous painting is actually gazing 15.4 degrees to the right of the viewer—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. The study’s author, Horstmann said, “She’s not really looking at you, which is kind of funny because people often think the subject’s gaze in artworks or photos seems to follow them around. This is called the ‘Mona Lisa effect’. Even if someone is painted looking straight, viewers from different angles still feel they’re being looked at.”As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the “Mona Lisa effect” occurs.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. They put a ruler between the screen and the viewer. They asked the people to see where Mona Lisa’s eyes met the ruler. They moved the ruler to measure Mona Lisa’s gaze. They found that most people thought Mona Lisa wasn’t looking directly at them, but a bit to their right.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first came up with the name “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
28. What gaze range in a painting will cause the “Mona Lisa effect”?
A. B. C. D.
29. Why did Horstmann conduct the experiment?
A. To confirm Horstmann’s new discovery.
B. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.
C. To prove Mona Lisa is looking straight back.
D To explain how the “Mona Lisa effect” can be applied.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The position of the ruler will determine the viewers’ judgement.
B. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to invent the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
C. The “Mona Lisa effect” contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
D. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Positive Effect of “Mona Lisa”
B. The Magical Gaze of “Mona Lisa”
C. The Measurement of Mona Lisa’ Gaze
D. The Application of the “Mona Lisa effect”

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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all been there — dinner is over, but your stomach (or is it your mind?) is calling you back to the kitchen. Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). ____32____. But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings.
Identifying triggers (诱因)
After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. ____33____. Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively.
____34____
The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must.
Boosting protein and veggies
Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. ____35____.
Engaging in after-dinner movement
____36____. It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings.
A. Reshaping your habits
B. Eating properly-portioned meals
C. They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals
D. They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay
E. Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits
F. Including a protein source at each meal, you feel the less urge to snack later on
G. Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking

I took my first trip to the Republic of Georgia last year. Every traveler I met spoke about a hike in the Greater Caucasus mountains that I absolutely couldn’t ____37____. The hike from Kazbegi town to Gergeti Trinity Church is a short one, but based on the church’s location atop a mountain, I knew it was going to be a ____38____ climb — especially after six weeks of traveling around and ____39____ khachapuri, the country’s famous “cheese pie”.
I arrived in Kazbegi on a cold, foggy afternoon and reluctantly (不情愿地) ____40____ early the next day with the idea to hike to the church that morning. Luckily, a chance encounter over the breakfast table at my guesthouse ____41____ me. I got chatting with a couple who had done the hike the ____42____ day and had a crucial tip for me, “Don’t follow the main trail. ____43____, take the path on the left side of the mountain.” As it turned out, the main route — the trail everyone else was taking — was impossibly rough, but the lesser-walked path was a ____44____ trail along a mountain stream.
Had I tried to take the main path, I would never have ____45____ the walk; however, following this gentler route, I experienced something totally ____46____: A hike I actually enjoyed! I felt so accomplished by the time I reached the ____47____. I’ve since moved to Georgia and have ____48____ myself to many other hikes in the Greater Caucasus. But if it weren’t for that first introduction to hiking in Georgia, I don’t think I would have had the ____49____ to attempt any other trails.
“____50____” means something different to everyone, but I think there’s a bold traveler inside all of us. Often it takes one____51____experience to prove to yourself what you’re really made of.
37. A. plan B. miss C. forget D. expect

Teamwork Lights the Way
For weeks, the class buzzed with excitement for the handmade craft show. Each group needed a unique, good-looking and useful craft for the school art fair. Lily teamed up with decisive Sophia and Jake who had an eye for details. Thrilled yet a bit nervous about perfection, they started working.
Their first get-together was in the sun-filled art room. Sophia’s eyes sparkled as she proposed, “What if we make a lamp from plastic bottles?” Jake was attracted by the idea but voiced a concern, “Sounds amazing, yet dealing with lights and ensuring a steady structure? We’re complete beginners at that.” Lily picked up one of the empty bottles and examined it. She said that those could work, adding that they would need a solid base and safe battery-powered LED lights.
Over the next days, they worked day in and day out. They referred to books, searched for online advice, and gathered supplies: bottles, a glue gun, wires, and LED lights. However, building the lamp was tougher than they expected. There were moments when they thought they wouldn’t finish in time for the presentation. As the fair neared, late nights heightened their deadline anxiety.
The night before the fair, exhausted yet hopeful, they readied for the final test. Sophia held her breath as Lily inserted the batteries. The LED lights lit up, painting the walls with gentle, liquid light. Then a loud BANG! The lamp crashed onto the table. “No! What’s wrong?” Lily cried, rushing over. Jake knelt, discovering a thin crack (裂缝) in the base, “This base wasn’t thick enough to bear the weight.” Their painstaking creation lay in ruins. With dawn approaching, disappointment washed over them.
Sophia stared at the broken pieces for a moment. Then she grabbed the glue gun, her voice firm. “We’ve put in far too much effort to give up now.” she declared. Her words pulled Lily and Jake out of their hopelessness.

18. What is the main idea of the talk?
A. Some early dinosaurs were very small.
B. Dinosaurs and birds were closely related.
C. Small dinosaurs lived longer than big ones.
19. Where was Kongonaphon kely found?
A. In Brazil. B. In Madagascar. C. In America.
20. What did Kongonaphon kely eat?
A. Grass. B. Insects. C. Leaves.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Dinosaurs are often considered as really big creatures, but new research proves that they started out small. The evidence comes from the remains of a creature that lived some 237 million years ago and stood just 10 cm tall, which was much smaller than the dinosaur found in Brazil in 1999. It may also help reveal origins of flying creatures at the time of the dinosaurs. Christian Kammerer from the North Carolina Museum of Natural sciences said that there’s a general idea of dinosaurs as being creatures of big size, but this new animal is surprisingly small.
The small creature found was named Kongonaphon kely. It was discovered in 1998 in Madagascar by a team of scientists from America. Its origins, that is, early dinosaurs, are poorly known, as few early creatures of their type have been found. The shape of the Kongonap Honkely’s teeth suggests it lived on insects rather than leaves or grass. A shift to this kind of diet may have helped this early creature survive by being different from their mostly meat-eating relatives.

Women are, and have always been, essential to innovation. Here we honor 3 women who shaped the world with their imagination, dedication, and perseverance.
Dr. Lin Lanying—Synthesis of Crystals and Semiconductor Materials
Dr. Lin Lanying was born in 1918 in Putian, China. Her family didn’t believe education was important for girls and she wasn’t permitted to attend school, but despite her family’s objections, she eventually obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. Lin returned to China in 1957. There, she and her team synthesized(合成)crystals of aerospace and semiconductor materials. Today, she is recognized as the “mother of aerospace materials” and the “mother of semiconductor materials” in China.
Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi—Saruhashi’s Table
Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi was born in Tokyo in 1920. She earned a degree in chemistry in 1943and was the first woman to receive a Ph. D. in chemistry from the University of Tokyo in 1957. She went on to work at the Meteorological Research Institute, and it was there she invented a new way to measure the amount of carbon in the ocean, which became known as Saruhashi’s Table. She was the first woman elected to the Science Council of Japan and the first woman to win the Miyake Prize for geochemistry in 1985.
Anna Modayi Mani—Instruments to Measure the Weather
Anna Modayil Mani was born in 1918 in the southern part of India. Mani began her research career at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru. In 1948, she joined the Indian Meteorological Department where she was responsible for the construction of radiation instruments. Mani created drawings for nearly 100 different weather instruments and started their production. She also set up a network of weather monitoring stations in India to measure solar radiation and help use solar energy.
21. Which word best describes Lin Lanying according to the text?
A. Emotional B. Inflexible
C. Determined D. Creative
22. What do Saruhashi and Anna Modayi Mani have in common?
A. They were both awarded international prizes.
B. They both specialized in semiconductor material research.
C. They were both the first women to earn a Ph. D. in their countries.
D. They both brought innovations crucial for scientific measurements.
23. Where is the text most probably taken from?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文简要介绍了三位在不同科学领域做出重要贡献的女性科学家,她们在各自的研究领域取得了显著成就,为世界的科学发展做出了重要贡献。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据Dr. Lin Lanying部分中,尤其是“Her family didn’t believe education was important for girls and she wasn’t permitted to attend school, but despite her family’s objections, she eventually obtained her Ph.D.(她的家人认为女孩受教育不重要,不允许她上学,但尽管家人反对,她最终还是获得了宾夕法尼亚大学的博士学位。)”这一部分可以看出,Lin Lanyin在面对家庭阻碍时表现出了坚定的决心,最终取得了博士学位并在科研上做出了重要贡献。C选项“Determined(坚定的)”符合题意。故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Dr. Katsuko Saruhashi 部分中“She went on to work at the Meteorological Research Institute, and it was there she invented a new way to measure the amount of carbon in the ocean, which became known as Saruhashi’s Table.(她继续在气象研究所工作,正是在那里,她发明了一种测量海洋中碳含量的新方法,这一方法后来被称为“Saruhashi’s Table”。)”以及Anna Modayi Mani部分中“Mani created drawings for nearly 100 different weather instruments and started their production. She also set up a network of weather monitoring stations in India to measure solar radiation and help use solar energy.( Mani为近100种不同的气象仪器绘制了图纸并开始了它们的生产。她还在印度建立了一个气象监测站网络,用于测量太阳辐射并帮助利用太阳能。)”可知,Katsuko Saruhashi发明了测量海洋中碳含量的新方法(Saruhashi’s Table),而Anna Modayi Mani则设计了近100种不同的天气仪器并建立了天气监测站网络。这两项成就都对科学测量产生了重要影响,是科学测量领域的重要创新。因此,可以推断出她们的共同点是都为科学测量带来了至关重要的创新。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Women are, and have always been, essential to innovation. Here we honor 3 women who shaped the world with their imagination, dedication, and perseverance. (女性一直是创新的关键。在这里,我们向三位用想象力、奉献精神和毅力塑造世界的女性致敬。)”以及接下来的内容分别介绍了这三位女性科学家的成就和贡献。因此,可以判断这篇文章最有可能来自对女性成就的回顾或评论。D选项“A review of women achievements.(对女性成就的回顾)”符合题意。故选D。
B
In the 2010s, 34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a marine biologist. No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: large amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something. Determined to fix the problem at the source, she planned to open a shop that went further than banning plastic bags.
In 2015, she cold-called a Vancouver Patagonia store and, explaining how her mission mirrored that brand’s emphasis on sustainability, convinced its managers to host her first pop-up (快闪店). Her stock consisted of about 10 jars of dried strawberries, locally made chocolate and nuts. She sold out in one afternoon—and knew she was onto something.
In June 2018, after 18 months of successful pop-ups, Miller opened Nada, one of Canada’s first zero-waste grocery stores. Designed for easy zero-waste shopping, it offers free and upcycled containers at the entrance, so customers can choose to bring their own or use the provided ones. Nada sells the food items you’d expect—all 100 percent package-free. Miller also turned to online ordering and delivery. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs (and you can purchase just one, if you’d like) comes delivered in upcycled containers, which are collected (and reused again, of course) with the next round of deliveries.
Those containers do much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller had hoped they would. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,” she says, and then smiles. “If you open someone’s pantry (食品储藏室) and see all of these Nada-branded packages, it’s bound to start a conversation.”
24. What inspired Brianne Miller to take action?
A. Her ambition to establish a zero-waste brand.
B. The plastic pollution threatening marine life.
C. Her passion for sustainable food production.
D. The cooperation offered from Patagonia store.
25. What does the underline word “something” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. A difficult problem to solve.
B. A personal hobby to pursue.
C. A promising business opportunity.
D. A complicated marketing strategy.
26. What is special about Nada?
A. It only sells local products.
B. It aims at zero-waste shopping.
C. It offers free food to customers.
D. It has the largest number of containers.
27. How did Miller expect the containers to influence people?
A. By making them buy more products.
B. By encouraging them to collect stickers.
C. By promoting reflection on environment.
D. By teaching them how to reuse containers.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了海洋生物学家布丽安·米勒因为发现海洋塑料污染严重而决定采取行动,她开设了加拿大首批零废弃杂货店之一——Nada。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: large amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something.(无论地点多么偏远,她都做出了同样令人震惊的发现:大量的塑料垃圾污染了水域,威胁着海洋生物。米勒知道自己必须做点什么。)”可知,是海洋塑料污染威胁海洋生物这一情况激发了Brianne Miller采取行动。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“In 2015, she cold-called a Vancouver Patagonia store and, explaining how her mission mirrored that brand’s emphasis on sustainability, convinced its managers to host her first pop-up (快闪店). Her stock consisted of about 10 jars of dried strawberries, locally made chocolate and nuts. She sold out in one afternoon—and knew she was onto something.(2015年,她给温哥华巴塔哥尼亚店打了一通冷电话,解释了她的使命与该品牌对可持续性的重视不谋而合,并说服了店长举办她的第一家快闪店。她的存货包括大约10罐草莓干、当地制作的巧克力和坚果。一个下午就卖光了,她知道自己发现了什么。)”可知,她的存货包括大约10罐草莓干、当地制作的巧克力和坚果。一个下午就卖光了,因此她知道自己发现了商机,所以“something”指的是“一个有希望的商机”。C选项“A promising business opportunity.(一个有前景的商业机会。)”与划线词指代内容相同。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In June 2018, after 18 months of successful pop-ups, Miller opened Nada, one of Canada’s first zero-waste grocery stores.(2018年6月,在成功经营了18个月的快闪店后,米勒开设了Nada,这是加拿大首批零废弃杂货店之一。)”可知,Nada的特别之处在于它旨在实现零废弃购物。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Those containers do much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller had hoped they would.(这些容器的作用不仅仅是减少浪费。它们让人们有了更宏大的思考,正如米勒所希望的那样。)”以及后文“They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,(它们贴有 Nada 标签,这样您就能看到这个容器被使用过多少次。)”以及“If you open someone’s pantry (食品储藏室) and see all of these Nada-branded packages, it’s bound to start a conversation.(如果你打开某人的食品储藏室,看到里面全是“Nada”牌的包装,那肯定会引发一番交谈。)”可知,“贴有Nada标签的容器”和“看到所有这些带有Nada品牌的包装,一定会引起人们对于(环境的)交谈,因此Miller希望这些容器能促进人们对环境的反思。故选C项。
C
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out to be wrong.
A recent study finds that the woman in the famous painting is actually gazing 15.4 degrees to the right of the viewer—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. The study’s author, Horstmann said, “She’s not really looking at you, which is kind of funny because people often think the subject’s gaze in artworks or photos seems to follow them around. This is called the ‘Mona Lisa effect’. Even if someone is painted looking straight, viewers from different angles still feel they’re being looked at.”As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the “Mona Lisa effect” occurs.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. They put a ruler between the screen and the viewer. They asked the people to see where Mona Lisa’s eyes met the ruler. They moved the ruler to measure Mona Lisa’s gaze. They found that most people thought Mona Lisa wasn’t looking directly at them, but a bit to their right.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first came up with the name “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
28. What gaze range in a painting will cause the “Mona Lisa effect”?
A. B. C. D.
29. Why did Horstmann conduct the experiment?
A. To confirm Horstmann’s new discovery.
B. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.
C. To prove Mona Lisa is looking straight back.
D. To explain how the “Mona Lisa effect” can be applied.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The position of the ruler will determine the viewers’ judgement.
B. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to invent the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
C. The “Mona Lisa effect” contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
D. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Positive Effect of “Mona Lisa”
B. The Magical Gaze of “Mona Lisa”
C. The Measurement of Mona Lisa’ Gaze
D. The Application of the “Mona Lisa effect”
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了所谓的“蒙娜丽莎效应”,即人们常认为艺术作品或照片中的人物似乎在注视他们,即使人物的目光并未直接对准观众。研究者通过实验证实了这一点,并探讨了人们为何会普遍产生蒙娜丽莎在注视他们的错觉,推测可能是因为人们有被注视的渴望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the ‘Mona Lisa effect’ occurs. (只要观察者的目光偏离画面中心的位置不超过约 5 度(左右方向),就会出现“蒙娜丽莎效应”。)”可知,只要观察者的目光偏离画面中心的位置不超过约 5 度(左右方向),就会出现“蒙娜丽莎效应,即感觉画中人物在注视自己。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. (Horstmann和他的合著者正在研究这一效应在人工智能虚拟头像创建中的应用,这时霍斯特曼仔细端详了《蒙娜丽莎》,并意识到她并没有看着自己。为了确保不只是他一个人的错觉,研究人员让24个人在电脑上观看《蒙娜丽莎》的图片。)”可知,Horstmann在观察“蒙娜丽莎”时发现她并没有看着自己,为了确认这一点,他进行了实验。这表明其进行实验的目的是为了验证他自己的新发现,即“蒙娜丽莎”的目光并不是直视观众的。故选A。
30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. (他说,人们可能渴望被注视,所以他们觉得这个女人在直视他们。)”这表明人们感觉被“蒙娜丽莎”注视可能是出于对关注的渴望。因此,选项D“Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention. (感觉被蒙娜丽莎注视可能是由对关注的渴望引起的)”符合题意。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要介绍了“蒙娜丽莎效应”和Horstmann通过实验验证这一现象的过程,同时探讨了人们为何会有这种感觉的原因。选项B“The Magical Gaze of ‘Mona Lisa’(蒙娜丽莎的神奇目光)”准确地概括了文章的主旨,突出了“蒙娜丽莎效应”的核心内容,即蒙娜丽莎的目光似乎能够跟随观众,给人一种被注视的错觉。故选B。
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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all been there — dinner is over, but your stomach (or is it your mind?) is calling you back to the kitchen. Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). ____32____. But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings.
Identifying triggers (诱因)
After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. ____33____. Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively.
____34____
The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must.
Boosting protein and veggies
Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. ____35____.
Engaging in after-dinner movement
____36____. It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings.
A. Reshaping your habits
B. Eating properly-portioned meals
C. They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals
D. They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay
E. Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits
F. Including a protein source at each meal, you feel the less urge to snack later on
G. Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking
【答案】32. C 33. G 34. B 35. D 36. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四条抑制餐后食欲的建议。
【32题详解】
根据前文“Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). (我们很多人都经历过餐后食欲的诱惑。)”强调我们很多人都经历过餐后食欲的诱惑。C选项“They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals (它们似乎与我们的健康目标不一致)”中的they指代前文的“cravings”,形成呼应,自出这些欲望与健康目标不一致,符合语境,故选C。
【33题详解】
根据前文“After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. (餐后的渴望可能源于真正饥饿的心理需求。)”此处强调餐后的欲望来自于真正的心理需求,后文“心理需求”进行解释。G选项“Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking (压力或无聊可能会让你误以为自己饿了,导致你吃不必要的零食)”中的stress和boredom与前文的“心理需求”形成呼应,强调压力或无聊可能会让你误以为自己饿了,导致你吃不必要的零食,符合语境。故选G。
【34题详解】
设空处为本段段旨,同时也为本段小标题。根据后文“The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. (你的饭量会显著影响饭后的渴望。一天中没有摄入足够的卡路里,尤其是在晚餐时,会引发一夜之间的饥饿感,因为你的身体会寻求给自己补充能量。)”可知,本段阐述的是每天要合理的安排和分配膳食。B选项“Eating properly-portioned meals (合理分配膳食)”概括本段主要内容,符合语境。故选B。
【35题详解】
根据前文“Include protein and vegetables in your meals. (在你的膳食中加入蛋白质和蔬菜。)”此处强调的是饮食中蛋白质和蔬菜的重要性。D选项“They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay (它们是很好的组合,可以帮助你控制食欲)”中的combinations与前文的“蛋白质和蔬菜”形成呼应,强调二者的组合能够控制食欲,符合语境。故选D。
【36题详解】
根据本段段旨“Engaging in after-dinner movement (参加餐后活动)”可知,本段建议餐后参加锻炼运动。E选项“Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits (轻微的身体活动,比如散步,有双重好处)”强调饭后散步以及轻微的身体运动的好处,符合语境。故选E。

73. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Teamwork Lights the Way
For weeks, the class buzzed with excitement for the handmade craft show. Each group needed a unique, good-looking and useful craft for the school art fair. Lily teamed up with decisive Sophia and Jake who had an eye for details. Thrilled yet a bit nervous about perfection, they started working.
Their first get-together was in the sun-filled art room. Sophia’s eyes sparkled as she proposed, “What if we make a lamp from plastic bottles?” Jake was attracted by the idea but voiced a concern, “Sounds amazing, yet dealing with lights and ensuring a steady structure? We’re complete beginners at that.” Lily picked up one of the empty bottles and examined it. She said that those could work, adding that they would need a solid base and safe battery-powered LED lights.
Over the next days, they worked day in and day out. They referred to books, searched for online advice, and gathered supplies: bottles, a glue gun, wires, and LED lights. However, building the lamp was tougher than they expected. There were moments when they thought they wouldn’t finish in time for the presentation. As the fair neared, late nights heightened their deadline anxiety.
The night before the fair, exhausted yet hopeful, they readied for the final test. Sophia held her breath as Lily inserted the batteries. The LED lights lit up, painting the walls with gentle, liquid light. Then a loud BANG! The lamp crashed onto the table. “No! What’s wrong?” Lily cried, rushing over. Jake knelt, discovering a thin crack (裂缝) in the base, “This base wasn’t thick enough to bear the weight.” Their painstaking creation lay in ruins. With dawn approaching, disappointment washed over them.
Sophia stared at the broken pieces for a moment. Then she grabbed the glue gun, her voice firm. “We’ve put in far too much effort to give up now.” she declared. Her words pulled Lily and Jake out of their hopelessness.

【答案】The team decided to fix it together. Sophia’s eyes widened with urgency as she and Jake rushed to gather extra materials, their footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. Meanwhile, Lily crouched down carefully to inspect the broken lamp using orc bottles they could find, they rebuilt the base, strengthening every joint with layers of glue. Sophia adjusted the LED lights to distribute the weight evenly. Jake, with his steady hands, reconnected the wires. As the sun peeked through the windows, their lamp stood whole again, looking even more beautiful.
The next day the students were excited as each team presented their crafts. When it was their turn, Lily, Jake and Sophia exchange d a confident glance, carrying their lamp to the front. As the light sprang to life with a soft glow, it cast delicate shadows across the room. The audience gasped in admiration, then thunderous applause swept over the fair. Their hard work paid off, and they truly understood that in teamwork, each person’s strength combined could turn failure into success. The lamp wasn’t just a craft--it was a symbol of their united efforts.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lily、Sophia和Jake三个同学为了学校的手工艺展览会合作制作一个由塑料瓶制成的台灯的故事。在制作过程中,他们遇到了许多困难,甚至在展览前一天晚上灯台摔坏了。但他们没有放弃,而是连夜修复,最终在展览上成功展示了他们的作品,并赢得了观众的赞赏。这个故事体现了团队合作的力量,证明了每个人的努力汇聚在一起可以将失败转化为成功。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“团队决定一起解决这个问题。”可知,第一段可描述团队成员决定共同修复损坏的台灯的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,学生们兴致勃勃,每支队伍都展示了他们的手工艺品。”可知,第二段可描写展览当天的情况,以及他们的感悟:努力得到了回报,团队合作中每个人的力量汇聚在一起可以将失败转化为成功。这盏台灯不仅仅是一件工艺品,更是他们团结努力的象征。
