Eppie's cheeks were flushed with distress."Thank you,sir and madam.But I can't leave
my father."Eppie went back to Silas's chair,and put an arm round his neck,brushing the tears
from her eyes.
Godfrey was extremely annoyed.He wanted to do what he thought was his duty.And
adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past."But,Eppie,you must
agree,"he cried."You are my daughter!Silas Marner,you know,Eppie's mother was my wife
and she is my own child."
Eppie's face went white.Silas,who had been relieved by hearing Eppie's answer to
Godfrey,now answered bitterly,"Then,sir,why didn't you confess this sixteen years ago,
before I began to love her?Why do you come to take her away now,when it's like taking the
heart out of my body?God gave her to me because you abandoned her!And He considers her
mine!"
"I think,Marner,"he said firmly,"that you should consider what's best for Eppie.You
shouldn't stand in her way when she could have a better life."
Silas was silent for a moment.He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right,and that
it was selfish of him to keep Eppie.At last he brought out the difficult words."All right.Speak
to the child.I won't prevent her from going."
Godfrey and his wife were relieved to hear this,and thought Eppie would now agree.
"Eppie,my dear,"said Godfrey,"although I haven't been a good father to you so far,I want to
do my best for you now."
But Eppie did not come forward this time.She stood by Silas's side,holding his hand in
hers,and spoke almost coldly."Thank you for your kind offer.But I wouldn't be happy if I left
father.He'd have nobody if I weren't here.Nobody shall ever come between him and me!"
"But you must make sure,Eppie,"said Silas worriedly,"that you won't be sorry,if you
decide to stay with poor people.You could have a much better life."
"I'll never be sorry,"said Eppie firmly."I don't want to be rich,if I can't live with the
people I know and love."
24.Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back?
A.To please his present wife.
B.To repair his public reputation.
C.To ease his sense of guilt.
D.To make things easier for Silas.
25.How did Silas feel according to paragraph 3?
A.Annoyed.B.Relieved.
C.Surprised.
D.Confused.
26.What made Silas finally let Eppie make her own decision?
A.Pressure from Godfrey.
B.His deep love for her.
C.Fear of legal consequences.
D.His desire for moral superiority.
27.What values does Eppie's decision mirror?
A.Putting personal freedom first.
B.Living up to family expectations.
C.Focusing on material comforts.
D.Valuing emotional bonds over wealth.
Each year,an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica,and they could each be
unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow,according to a new study
published in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon,created when fossil (fuels and biomass are burnt.Black
carbon settles on the snow,causing it to darken in colour.This increases the absorption of heat
from the sun and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness,Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution
compared to other parts of the world.However,the new study indicates that black carbon from
Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy
landscape.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected
from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula.The
researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites
for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula.
The study estimates that,in heavily impacted areas,black carbon pollution is causing
snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year.Altogether,an estimated 4.4
megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of
black carbon from tourism alone-translating to 83 tonnes per visitor.Although these figures
are striking,the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest.
"It is likely that local emissions (account for most of the black carbon content in
samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,"the paper
states.
Ships,aero planes,helicopters,generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon
that can settle on snow.The study authors suggest that tourist cruises()and fuel-powered
equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution
in the study area.That's despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of
Antarctic tourism,such as switching to marine diesel(船用柴油)or deep cycle battery power.
"Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships
in Antarctica,"the authors write.
28.What does the underlined word "culprit"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Main cause.B.Harmful gas.
C.Useful energy.
D.Unexpected result.
29.How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A.From winds blowing in foreign dust.
B.From volcanic activities under the ice.
C.From natural changes in temperature.
D.From fuel use in tourism and research.
30.What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A.They exactly show each visitor's carbon footprint.
B.The impact of human activity may be underestimated.
C.They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned.
D.The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem.
31.What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A.They still show limited effect.
B.They paint a rosy picture.
C.They are a drop in the bucket.
D.They boost Antarctica tourism.

Alongside the crisps in the snack aisle,supermarkets are now stacking shelves with
1
roasted chickpeas,cheese bites,and beef jerky.An array of high-protein alternatives is
appearing alongside low-fat and low-sugar foods.Dairy sections are packed with
hard-to-pronounce fare such as skyr and kefir.High-protein diets have become mainstream.
On social media,food and fitness influencers recommend protein.Celebrities have made it
trendy to look strong,rather than skinny.A trend is close to an obsession.Google searches for
"high-protein diet"reached their highest point ever in January.Some 64%of Americans want
to increase the amount of protein they eat.In Britain,Ocado,an online supermarket,figures
over 40%of consumers have increased their protein intake over the past year.So what explains
the constant appetite?
Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades.More recently the less
strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while feeling fuller for longer.
Juergen Esser at Danone,a French dairy giant,says hunger for protein first took off among
youngsters who want to look muscular.It soon spread to older people eager to stay strong and
healthy.The pandemic got people worrying about their health and increased demand.
High-protein products are helping firms expand.Revenues at Danone increased by 4.3%
in 2024,driven by high-protein yoghurts and drinks.The question is whether the trend has gone
too far.The World Health Organisation recommends 0.83 grams a day per kilogram of body
weight.By that measure,the average American or Briton consumes too much.
For food firms already,struggling to meet multiple requirements,it is yet another
challenge.Consumers do not only want more protein and less ultra-processing,but also more
plant-based food and anything good for the gut )The Curators,a British snackmaker,has
a balancing act to perform.When the firm began making soya and lentil chips,it settled on ten
grams of protein per bag.Recipes with more were not as tasty.And as food crazes come and go,
a pleasant flavour may be the most enduring requirement of all.
32.What can we learn about high-protein diets?
A.High-protein foods on supermarket shelves are always low in fat and sugar.
B.Their popularity was largely driven by social media and celebrity influence.
C.The majority of Google users are obsessed with adopting high-protein diets.
D.The consumption of high-protein diets in America is higher than that in Britain.
33.How does the author develop the idea in Paragraph 3?
6
A.By presenting a series of statistical data.
B.By tracing the spread of the trend over time
C.By analyzing the benefits through expert opinions.
D.By comparing the attitudes across different groups
34.What is the main challenge food companies face in the high-protein market?
A.Ensuring that high-protein products satisfy nutritional guidelines.
B.Reducing the costs of protein-rich products to remain competitive.
C.Balancing the dietary preferences and health concerns of consumers.
D.Convincing consumers that high-protein diets are universally healthy.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Fueling the Future:The Science Behind the Protein Obsession
B.Protein Revolution:Whether Modern Diets Have Gone Too Far
C.The Rise of Protein:How Demand Reshaped Consumer Behavior
D.from Gym to Shelves:A Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets

No matter how scheduled your life may be,there's always that feeling of never having
enough time at home.Life goes by too quickly.36Could we slow down and enjoy a
simpler,freer,and happier home life?Absolutely!Here are several ways to create a "culture of
slow”in your home.
Identify your reasons to rush.
Begin observing your patterns of rushing.When do you usually tend to rush?Maybe it's
when you're about to leave the house,or maybe it's in a time-pressured situation.Then,slow
down by using an inner reminder like "The hurry only hurts",really observe the situation,and
breathe.Identify what's most important to you during that moment.37
Practice digital minimalism.
_38Technology is most likely to take our attention away from what we are doing in
our homes.Creating a "culture of slow"means concentrating your online time on a small
number of carefully selected activities that support what you value.And then being okay with
missing out on everything else.
●Take more walks.
Nature moves at a slow pace,and the more you spend time in the outdoors,the more your
pace also slows.39It also provides opportunities to slow your thoughts and refocus them
on what matters.For a healthier lifestyle,take more walks.
Practice one rest day a week.
Choose one day a week for rest and leisure.Consider it a"do-nothing day",where work is set
aside and relationships are renewed.40 Maybe you take a family hike,cook together,or
enjoy a cozy reading session on the sofa.Rest days,when taken seriously,dramatically slow
7
the pace of life.
A.Make time and space to just be together.
B.Schedule your outdoor activities properly.
C.Every day can feel like rush hour on repeat.
D.Use that as motivation to move more slowly.
E.Simple,slow living is basically a matter of focus.
F.Being outside has a unique power to reset the mind.
G.Take this a step further by practicing mindfulness.

I'm not known to be a particularly lucky person.Raffles )t-shirt cannons,radio
calls,random roommate selections-none of these ever seem to work out in my favor.But my
fortune seemed to hit an all-time low last Monday
The day started nice enough.I went to work,got off at five and decided to head to the
beach.It was sweltering hot,and I knew the cool waters of Lake Michigan would help wash
away my sweat.The first sign of trouble was when my cellphone navigation stopped working
properly and showed the wrong directions.I was new to the area and didn't quite know my way
around yet,so I ended up taking a wrong turn and driving through a web of neighborhoods,
turning a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute one.
But fine,I get lost often.I made it to the beach eventually.Took a quick dip in the water,
had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier.I made it back to my car,pulling some
clothes out to change into.As I headed to the restroom,I realized I had forgotten a shirt.So I
walked back,tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the
passenger seat of my car.
I called AAA(American Automobile Association).As it turns out,I don't have an AAA
membership.I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their
card,while my phone battery was at 21%and dropping.
I called AAA again,and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a
half,which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car.The sun was lowering
in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out.I heard thunder,and I saw people exiting the
beach at an increasing rate.When I checked my weather app,I saw an alarming update:a heat
advisory ()a 100%chance of a lightning storm,and a tornado warning.

Eppie's cheeks were flushed with distress."Thank you,sir and madam.But I can't leave
my father."Eppie went back to Silas's chair,and put an arm round his neck,brushing the tears
from her eyes.
Godfrey was extremely annoyed.He wanted to do what he thought was his duty.And
adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past."But,Eppie,you must
agree,"he cried."You are my daughter!Silas Marner,you know,Eppie's mother was my wife
and she is my own child."
Eppie's face went white.Silas,who had been relieved by hearing Eppie's answer to
Godfrey,now answered bitterly,"Then,sir,why didn't you confess this sixteen years ago,
before I began to love her?Why do you come to take her away now,when it's like taking the
heart out of my body?God gave her to me because you abandoned her!And He considers her
mine!"
"I think,Marner,"he said firmly,"that you should consider what's best for Eppie.You
shouldn't stand in her way when she could have a better life."
Silas was silent for a moment.He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right,and that
it was selfish of him to keep Eppie.At last he brought out the difficult words."All right.Speak
to the child.I won't prevent her from going."
Godfrey and his wife were relieved to hear this,and thought Eppie would now agree.
"Eppie,my dear,"said Godfrey,"although I haven't been a good father to you so far,I want to
do my best for you now.”
But Eppie did not come forward this time.She stood by Silas's side,holding his hand in
hers,and spoke almost coldly."Thank you for your kind offer.But I wouldn't be happy if I left
father.He'd have nobody if I weren't here.Nobody shall ever come between him and me!"
"But you must make sure,Eppie,"said Silas worriedly,"that you won't be sorry,if you
decide to stay with poor people.You could have a much better life."
"I'll never be sorry,"said Eppie firmly."I don't want to be rich,if I can't live with the
people I know and love."
24.Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back?
A.To please his present wife.
B.To repair his public reputation.
C.To ease his sense of guilt.
D.To make things easier for Silas.
25.How did Silas feel according to paragraph 3?
A.Annoyed.
B.Relieved.
C.Surprised.
D.Confused.
26.What made Silas finally let Eppie make her own decision?
A.Pressure from Godfrey.
B.His deep love for her.
C.Fear of legal consequences.
D.His desire for moral superiority.
27.What values does Eppie's decision mirror?
A.Putting personal freedom first.
B.Living up to family expectations
C.Focusing on material comforts.
D.Valuing emotional bonds over wealth.

Each year,an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica,and they could each be
unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow,according to a new study
published in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon,created when fossil (fuels and biomass are burnt.Black
carbon settles on the snow,causing it to darken in colour.This increases the absorption of heat
from the sun and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness,Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution
compared to other parts of the world.However,the new study indicates that black carbon from
Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy
landscape.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected
from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula.The
researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites
for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula.
The study estimates that,in heavily impacted areas,black carbon pollution is causing
snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year.Altogether,an estimated 4.4
megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of
black carbon from tourism alone-translating to 83 tonnes per visitor.Although these figures
are striking,the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest.
"It is likely that local emissions account for most of the black carbon content in
samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,"the paper
states.
Ships,aero planes,helicopters,generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon
that can settle on snow.The study authors suggest that tourist cruises()and fuel-powered
equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution
in the study area.That's despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of
Antarctic tourism,such as switching to marine diesel(船用柴油)or deep cycle battery power.
"Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships
in Antarctica,"the authors write.
28.What does the underlined word "culprit"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Main cause.B.Harmful gas.C.Useful energy.
D.Unexpected result.
29.How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A.From winds blowing in foreign dust.
B.From volcanic activities under the ice.
C.From natural changes in temperature.
D.From fuel use in tourism and research.
30.What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A.They exactly show each visitor's carbon footprint.
B.The impact of human activity may be underestimated.
C.They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned.
D.The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem.
31.What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A.They still show limited effect.
B.They paint a rosy picture.
C.They are a drop in the bucket.
D.They boost Antarctica tourism.
Alongside the crisps in the snack aisle,supermarkets are now stacking shelves with
1
roasted chickpeas,cheese bites,and beef jerky.An array of high-protein alternatives is
appearing alongside low-fat and low-sugar foods.Dairy sections are packed with
hard-to-pronounce fare such as skyr and kefir.High-protein diets have become mainstream.
On social media,food and fitness influencers recommend protein.Celebrities have made it
trendy to look strong,rather than skinny.A trend is close to an obsession.Google searches for
"high-protein diet"reached their highest point ever in January.Some 64%of Americans want
to increase the amount of protein they eat.In Britain,Ocado,an online supermarket,figures
over 40%of consumers have increased their protein intake over the past year.So what explains
the constant appetite?
Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades.More recently the less
strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while feeling fuller for longer.
Juergen Esser at Danone,a French dairy giant,says hunger for protein first took off among
youngsters who want to look muscular.It soon spread to older people eager to stay strong and
3
healthy.The pandemic got people worrying about their health and increased demand.
High-protein products are helping firms expand.Revenues at Danone increased by 4.3%
in 2024,driven by high-protein yoghurts and drinks.The question is whether the trend has gone
too far.The World Health Organisation recommends 0.83 grams a day per kilogram of body
weight.By that measure,the average American or Briton consumes too much.
For food firms already,struggling to meet multiple requirements,it is yet another
challenge.Consumers do not only want more protein and less ultra-processing,but also more
plant-based food and anything good for the gut ()The Curators,a British snackmaker,has
a balancing act to perform.When the firm began making soya and lentil chips,it settled on ten
grams of protein per bag.Recipes with more were not as tasty.And as food crazes come and go,
a pleasant flavour may be the most enduring requirement of all.
32.What can we learn about high-protein diets?
A.High-protein foods on supermarket shelves are always low in fat and sugar.
B.Their popularity was largely driven by social media and celebrity influence.
C.The majority of Google users are obsessed with adopting high-protein diets.
D.The consumption of high-protein diets in America is higher than that in Britain.
33.How does the author develop the idea in Paragraph 3?
6
A.By presenting a series of statistical data.
B.By tracing the spread of the trend over time.
C.By analyzing the benefits through expert opinions.
D.By comparing the attitudes across different groups.
34.What is the main challenge food companies face in the high-protein market?
A.Ensuring that high-protein products satisfy nutritional guidelines.
B.Reducing the costs of protein-rich products to remain competitive.
C.Balancing the dietary preferences and health concerns of consumers.
D.Convincing consumers that high-protein diets are universally healthy.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Fueling the Future:The Science Behind the Protein Obsession
B.Protein Revolution:Whether Modern Diets Have Gone Too Far
C.The Rise of Protein:How Demand Reshaped Consumer Behavior
D.from Gym to Shelves:A Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets

No matter how scheduled your life may be,there's always that feeling of never having
enough time at home.Life goes by too quickly.36 Could we slow down and enjoy a
simpler,freer,and happier home life?Absolutely!Here are several ways to create a "culture of
slow”in your home.
Identify your reasons to rush.
Begin observing your patterns of rushing.When do you usually tend to rush?Maybe it's
when you're about to leave the house,or maybe it's in a time-pressured situation.Then,slow
down by using an inner reminder like "The hurry only hurts",really observe the situation,and
breathe.Identify what's most important to you during that moment.37
Practice digital minimalism.
38Technology is most likely to take our attention away from what we are doing in
our homes.Creating a "culture of slow"means concentrating your online time on a small
number of carefully selected activities that support what you value.And then being okay with
missing out on everything else.
●Take more walks.
Nature moves at a slow pace,and the more you spend time in the outdoors,the more your
pace also slows.39It also provides opportunities to slow your thoughts and refocus them
on what matters.For a healthier lifestyle,take more walks.
Practice one rest day a week.
Choose one day a week for rest and leisure.Consider it a"do-nothing day",where work is set
aside and relationships are renewed.40Maybe you take a family hike,cook together,or
enjoy a cozy reading session on the sofa.Rest days,when taken seriously,dramatically slow
7
the pace of life.
A.Make time and space to just be together.
B.Schedule your outdoor activities properly.
C.Every day can feel like rush hour on repeat.
D.Use that as motivation to move more slowly.
E.Simple,slow living is basically a matter of focus.
F.Being outside has a unique power to reset the mind.
G.Take this a step further by practicing mindfulness.

I'm not known to be a particularly lucky person.Raf的es(抽奖),t-shirt cannons,.radio
calls,random roommate selections-none of these ever seem to work out in my favor.But my
fortune seemed to hit an all-time low last Monday
The day started nice enough.I went to work,got off at five and decided to head to the
beach.It was sweltering hot,and I knew the cool waters of Lake Michigan would help wash
away my sweat.The first sign of trouble was when my cellphone navigation stopped working
properly and showed the wrong directions.I was new to the area and didn't quite know my way
around yet,so I ended up taking a wrong turn and driving through a web of neighborhoods,
turning a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute one.
But fine,I get lost often.I made it to the beach eventually.Took a quick dip in the water,
had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier.I made it back to my car,pulling some
clothes out to change into.As I headed to the restroom,I realized I had forgotten a shirt.So I
walked back,tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the
passenger seat of my car.
I called AAA(American Automobile Association).As it turns out,I don't have an AAA
membership.I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their
card,while my phone battery was at 21%and dropping.
I called AAA again,and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a
half,which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car.The sun was lowering
in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out.I heard thunder,and I saw people exiting the
beach at an increasing rate.When I checked my weather app,I saw an alarming update:a heat
advisory ()a 100%chance of a lightning storm,and a tornado warning

One possible version:
Dear Ms Wang,
I'm writing to express my concern over your recent decision to switch to full English
instruction in English class. While it may benefit fluent English speakers, some students might
struggle to comprehend and keep pace with the lessons.
Therefore, I suggest we initially adopt a mixed-language approach and we will gradually
turn to full English instruction. It would also be helpful to provide additional resources and
support during this transition, ensuring every student can benefit from this new teaching
method.
Thank you for considering my suggestions.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer. The wind picked up,
2
whipping sand against my legs, and raindrops began to fall down. Just as panic struck me, a
silver sedan pulled up beside me. The window rolled down to reveal a middle-aged woman
who had kind eyes. “You look like you could need some help,” she said, gesturing for me to get
in. Without hesitation, I piled into her car, my relief drowning out the storm’s fury.
The kind lady drove me through the pounding rain toward a nearby Starbucks. She
chatted calmly about the weather, her voice was steady in the chaos. Once inside, she bought
me a hot coffee and insisted on waiting with me until AAA arrived. As we sat, the tornado
alarm disappeared in the distance, but her presence turned the crisis into a strange, shared
adventure. When the tow truck finally pulled up, she handed me her umbrella and smiled.
“Good luck,” she said. “And maybe tomorrow will be your lucky day.” I watched her drive off,
my heart oddly lighter—proof that even in misfortune, kindness could still shine through.

M: Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Funny Facts! Have you ever met any British people
with rather strange or funny family names? Well, in the UK, hundreds of family names are
5
no longer used, but the six funny family names we’ll talk about are still used. ⑰The first
one, “Gotobed”. The first recorded person to have this family name was John
Gotobedde of Cambridge in 1269. It is said that this family name came from people who
had a bed, which was rare back in the 12th century. The second one, ⑱⑳“Onions”. This
family name, which was first popular in France and Ireland before coming over to the
UK, dates back to 1279. It was used to describe a person’s job. They were either a seller
or a grower of the vegetable. The third one, “Nutter”. Nutter informally means a crazy
person, but it’s really a family name that originates from Yorkshire and Lancashire. ⑲The
fourth one, “Smellie”. Although it sounds a lot like “smelly”, it has nothing to do with
a bad smell. Only 400 people in the UK still have this family name today. The fifth one,
“Hardmeat”. You might have guessed that “Hardmeat” must have something to do with a
family that sells meat. Actually, it might just have been a misspelling of the village that the
name came from, which was “Hardmead” in England. Finally, ⑳“Greedy”. It’s not
meant to describe people who have an insatiable appetite. In fact, the name originated
in Ireland and was originally spelt “Gready”.

兴趣与参与。)”可知,文章以正式口吻介绍比赛目的、要求及背景,包含明确的参与指
引,符合官方公告的特征。故选 B项。
阅读 B 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Godfrey想认回 Eppie,但 Eppie选择留在养
父 Silas身边的故事。
24. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty
about his past.(收养埃皮会让他对自己的过去少一些内疚感)”可知,Godfrey想要认回Eppie
是为了减轻他的内疚感。故选 C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Silas, who had been relieved by hearing Eppie’s answer to
Godfrey, now answered bitterly, “Then, sir, why didn’t you confess this sixteen years ago,
before I began to love her? Why do you come to take her away now, when it’s like taking the
heart out of my body? God gave her to me because you abandoned her! And He considers her
mine!”(西拉斯听了埃皮对戈弗雷的回答后松了一口气,现在却愤怒地回答道:“那么,先
生,你为什么不在十六年前,在我开始爱她之前承认这一点呢?你为什么现在来把她带
走,这就像把我的心从身体里掏出来一样?上帝把她给了我,因为你抛弃了她!上帝认
为她是我的!”)”可推知,Silas此时很生气。故选 A。
26. 推理判断题。根据第五段“Silas was silent for a moment. He was worried that perhaps
Godfrey was right, and that it was selfish of him to keep Eppie. At last he brought out the
difficult words. “All right. Speak to the child. I won't prevent her from going.”(西拉斯沉默了
一会儿。他担心也许戈弗雷是对的,他留住埃皮是自私的。最后,他艰难地说出了这些
话。“好吧。和孩子谈谈。我不会阻止她离开的。”)”可知,Silas 是因为深爱着埃皮,担
心自己因为爱她而留住她对 Eppie不好,所以才让埃皮自己做决定,是他对埃皮深深的爱
让他这样做。故选 B。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’ll never be sorry,” said Eppie firmly. “I don’t want to be
rich, if I can’t live with the people I know and love.”(“我永远不会后悔,”埃皮坚定地说。“如
果我不能和我认识和爱的人生活在一起,我就不想变得富有。”)”可推知,Eppie 的决定反
映了她重视情感联系胜过财富的价值观。故选 D。
阅读 C 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明南极旅游活动通过黑碳排放加速雪
层融化,目前的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染,研究者呼吁加强减排行动。
28.词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and
they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according
to a new study published in Nature Communications. (每年约有 5.3万名游客到访南极。根据
《自然·通讯》发表的最新研究,每位游客可能无意中导致 83吨积雪融化)”指出前往南
极的游客会导致积雪融化,画线词的下文“Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to
darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. (黑
碳沉降在雪面上,导致雪的颜色变深。这会增强对太阳热量的吸收,从而加速冰雪融化)”
7
说明黑碳对雪层的影响机制,因此这里是指黑碳是积雪融化的诱因。由此猜测,画线词
意思应该是“主要原因,主因”。故选 A项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the new study indicates that black carbon from
Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy
landscape. (然而,这项新研究表明,南极旅游和科研活动产生的黑碳仍对这片冰雪景观产
生了显著影响)”可知,黑碳是由旅游和研究中使用的燃料产生的。故选 D项。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段中“The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black
carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether,
an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to
the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. (研究表
明,在污染严重的区域,黑碳污染导致积雪每年减少多达 23毫米。仅旅游活动产生的黑
碳影响,就导致每年约 440万吨积雪在夏季加速融化——相当于每位游客造成 83吨的积
雪消融)”可知,这些数据表明黑碳污染导致的积雪融化量非常巨大,暗示了人类活动的
影响可能被低估了。故选 B项。
31.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the
environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or
deep cycle battery power. (尽管近年来已采取多项措施来减少南极旅游的环境足迹——例
如改用船用柴油或深循环电池供电——但问题依然存在)”和最后一段中该研究的作者们
所说的话“Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism
and ships in Antarctica (我们的研究结果表明,要减少旅游活动和船舶对南极洲的影响,仍
需付出更多努力)”可知,现有的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染,需要更多的努力来解
决这一问题。由此可知,作者们认为这些努力的效果仍然有限。故选 A项。
阅读 D 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了高蛋白饮食的流行趋势、原因以及食品公司
面临的挑战。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“On social media, food and fitness influencers recommend
protein. Celebrities have made it trendy to look strong, rather than skinny. (在社交媒体上,美
食和健身达人推荐蛋白质。名人们让看起来强壮而不是瘦弱成为一种潮流。)”可知,高
蛋白饮食的流行很大程度上是由社交媒体和名人效应推动的。故选 B。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段“Gym enthusiasts have been wolfing down protein for decades.
More recently the less strong have also realised that protein can help them build muscle while
feeling fuller for longer. Juergen Esser at Danone, a French dairy giant, says hunger for protein
first took off among youngsters who want to look muscular. It soon spread to older people
eager to stay strong and healthy. The pandemic got people worrying about their health and
increased demand. (几十年来,健身爱好者一直大量摄入蛋白质。近年来,体力较弱的人
群也意识到,蛋白质既能帮助增肌,又能让人更长时间保持饱腹感。法国乳业巨头 Danone
的 Juergen Esser表示,对蛋白质的需求最初在渴望拥有肌肉线条的年轻人中兴起,很快
蔓延到渴望保持强健体魄的老年人。疫情更让人们担忧健康,进一步推高了需求。)”可
8
知,作者通过追溯高蛋白饮食趋势在不同时间段和人群中的传播来展开论述的。故选 B。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Consumers do not only want more protein and
less/ultra-processing, but also more plant-based food and anything good for the gut (肠道). (消
费者不仅想要更多的蛋白质和更少的/超加工食品,还想要更多的植物性食品和对肠道有
益的任何东西。)”可知,食品公司在高蛋白市场面临的主要挑战是平衡消费者的饮食偏
好和健康关注。故选 C。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中“On social media, food and fitness
influencers recommend protein. Celebrities have made it trendy to look strong, rather than
skinny. (在社交媒体上,美食和健身达人推荐蛋白质。名人们让看起来强壮而不是瘦弱成
为一种潮流。)”可知,文章主要讨论了高蛋白饮食的流行趋势、原因以及食品公司面临
的挑战,特别是关于高蛋白饮食是否已经过度的讨论。D选项“from Gym to Shelves: A
Growing Appetite for High-Protein Diets (从健身房到货架:对高蛋白饮食日益增长的需求)”
既体现了高蛋白饮食的流行,又隐含了对其是否过度的思考,适合作为本文的标题。故
选 D。
七选五 本文围绕如何在日常生活中放慢节奏、创造一个平和的家庭环境提出具体的建议,
帮助人们来实现“慢生活”。
36.C 空白处前提到 feeling of never having enough time ,Life goes by too quickly

段”,直接引出话题,符合上下文逻辑。

everything else 表明本部分围绕专注度展开:减少电子设备的使用,提高专注度,进而

39.F 空白处前提到,在室外待得越久,生活节奏就越慢。F项中 Being outside 顺承上
文 in the outdoors,而 reset the mind 与下文 slow your thoughts and refocus them
on what matters 相呼应,符合语境。

后举例体现了一家人“共处”的场景,A项 Make time and space 与 one rest day 呼
应,just be together 和空白处后一家人“共处”的场景呼应,故 A项承上启下,符合
语境。
