For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days.
This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence.
Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more.
Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.
4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?

B. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken.
C. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken.

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing. For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles.
Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize. The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced. Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind. But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly. Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas. They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air.
Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts. The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling. However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical.
The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials. This practice should be adopted more widely. The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations. By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced. Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals. Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection.
8. What is the main concern about electric vehicles?
A. Their high production costs.
B. Their limited driving range.
C. Their potential negative environmental impact.
D. Their competition with traditional gasoline- powered cars.
9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The environmental benefits of EVs are already fully realized.
B. The environmental advantages of EVs depend on the source of electricity.
C. renewable energy currently accounts for most of the electricity used for EV charging.
D. EVs have no impact on reducing air pollution in urban areas.
10. Which solution is more practical to maximize the environmental benefits of EVs?
A. Achieving a fully renewable power grid globally immediately.
B. Banning the use of fossil-fuel-powered power plants.
C. Optimizing the location of charging stations near renewable energy sources.
D. Encouraging consumers to buy more gasoline-powered cars in the short term.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Electric Vehicles: A Sure-Fire Solution for the Environment
B. The High Cost of Electric Vehicle Batteries
C. Electric Vehicles: A Threat or a Hope for the Environment?
D. The Future of Traditional Gasoline-Powered Cars

Social media influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for brands to reach consumers. Influencers with their large followings and the ability to engage audiences, are seen as powerful tools for promoting products and services. However, while influencer marketing shows great potential, its effectiveness metrics, mainly centered around follower count, engagement rate, and reach, have significant limitations.
These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example, an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand’s products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.
This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense. But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer’s reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading, as some influencers may use tactics like “like-for-like” exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn’t consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.
To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer’s true value, several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer’s audience demographics in more detail. Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing behavior of an influencer’s followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer’s audience aligns with their target market.
Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer’s ability to generate business results. Additionally, brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to identify the most effective approaches.
While these effectiveness metrics alone can’t ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns, implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.
12. What function can the current effectiveness metrics of influencer marketing serve?
A. They can help brands accurately measure sales growth.
B. They can assist in identifying influencers with broad reach.
C. They can guarantee a high return on investment for brands.
D. They can effectively distinguish high-performing influencers.
13. What can be inferred from an influencer having a high engagement rate?
A. Their audience is highly interested in the promoted products.
B. They are definitely capable of driving significant sales.
C. The engagement rate might not reflect real influence.
D. They have a large number of loyal and active followers.
14. What contributes to a more accurate evaluation of an influencer’s value?
A. Focusing solely on the follower count and reach.
B. Relying on the engagement rate as the main criterion.
C. Analyzing the demographics and conversion rates of the audience.
D. Conducting surveys about the influencer’s personal reputation.
15 What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To compare different influencer marketing strategies.
B. To expose the false data in influencer marketing metrics.
C. To present the advantages of influencer marketing.
D. To propose improvements for influencer marketing effectiveness metrics

In the small town of Millfield, at Cedarwood Middle School, Jake, a lanky and soft-spoken boy with thick glasses, was an easy target for bullies. His passion for astronomy set him apart from his peers. Instead of playing football or video games, he spent his free time stargazing and reading books about galaxies and constellations. Every day at lunch, as Jake sat alone at a corner table, devouring a homemade sandwich and scribbling notes about the latest celestial event he’d read about, a group led by Mark, the school’s self- proclaimed “cool kid,” would pass by.
Mark, tall with a confident swagger, loved the attention he got from his friends. With a smile on his face, he’d lean over Jake’s table and pick up his astronomy notebook. “What’s this? More of your space nonsense?” he’d sneer, waving the notebook in the air. His friends would snicker, and Jake would blush, reaching out timidly to get his notebook back. “Leave me alone,” Jake would mumble, his voice barely above a whisper. “Or what? You’ll call your alien friends to attack me?” Mark would laugh, and the group would walk away, leaving Jake feeling humiliated.
Ms. Thompson, Jake’s science teacher, noticed the situation but could only do so much to stop it during class. “Boys, be respectful,” she’d say whenever she caught Mark teasing Jake. But once out of her sight, the bullying continued.
One day, the school announced a science fair with the theme “Innovation s for the Future.” Students were encouraged to create projects that could change the world. Mark, seeing it as a chance to show off, immediately started planning a project with his friends. Jake, on the other hand, decided to combine his love for astronomy with his dream of making a difference. He began working on a model of a sustainable space colony, spending hours after school in the science lab, building and perfecting his creation.
When the day of the science fair arrived, students and parents crowded into the gymnasium to view the projects. Mark’s group presented a flashy but rather simplistic model of a self- driving car. Jake, nervous but determined, set up his space colony model, complete with detailed explanations of how it would generate energy and recycle resources.
As the judges walked around to evaluate the projects, Mark and his friends watched with smug expressions, convinced they would win. But when the results were about to be announced, everyone held their breath in anticipation.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days.
This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence.
Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more.
Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars. However, concerns about their actual environmental impact are growing. For instance, the production of EV batteries requires large amounts of rare earth metals, the mining of which can lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Additionally, the electricity used to charge EVs often comes from power plants that burn fossil fuels, emitting substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Some studies suggest that in regions heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the carbon footprint of EVs during their operation may not be much lower than that of conventional vehicles.
Nevertheless, these concerns might be overstated. In fact, EVs may have a much greater potential for environmental benefits than many people realize. The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) predicts that as the share of renewable energy in electricity generation increases, the environmental advantages of EVs will become more pronounced. Currently, only about 20% of the electricity used for EV charging in some regions comes from renewable sources like solar and wind. But as the world transitions to cleaner energy, this percentage is expected to rise significantly. Moreover, EVs contribute to reducing air pollution in urban areas. They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which directly improves local air quality and reduces the health risks associated with breathing polluted air.
Automakers and policymakers face the challenge of maximizing the environmental benefits of EVs while minimizing their negative impacts. The ideal solution would be to rapidly increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power grid and improve the efficiency of battery recycling. However, since achieving a fully renewable power grid globally is still a long-term goal, focusing on three more immediate measures is more practical.
The first measure is promoting battery recycling. Starting in 2027, some countries will require automakers to take back used EV batteries and recycle at least 70% of the materials. This practice should be adopted more widely. The second measure is optimizing the location of charging stations. By strategically placing charging stations near renewable energy sources, the environmental impact of charging can be further reduced. Third, automakers must invest more in research and development to improve battery technology, making it more energy-efficient and reducing the need for rare earth metals. Strengthening these approaches would help transform EVs from potential environmental concerns into powerful tools for environmental protection.
8. What is the main concern about electric vehicles?
A. Their high production costs.
B. Their limited driving range.
C. Their potential negative environmental impact.
D. Their competition with traditional gasoline- powered cars.
9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The environmental benefits of EVs are already fully realized.
B. The environmental advantages of EVs depend on the source of electricity.
C. renewable energy currently accounts for most of the electricity used for EV charging.
D. EVs have no impact on reducing air pollution in urban areas.
10. Which solution is more practical to maximize the environmental benefits of EVs?
A. Achieving a fully renewable power grid globally immediately.
B. Banning the use of fossil-fuel-powered power plants.
C. Optimizing the location of charging stations near renewable energy sources.
D. Encouraging consumers to buy more gasoline-powered cars in the short term.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Electric Vehicles: A Sure-Fire Solution for the Environment
B. The High Cost of Electric Vehicle Batteries
C. Electric Vehicles: A Threat or a Hope for the Environment?
D. The Future of Traditional Gasoline-Powered Cars

Social media influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for brands to reach consumers. Influencers, with their large followings and the ability to engage audiences, are seen as powerful tools for promoting products and services. However, while influencer marketing shows great potential, its effectiveness metrics, mainly centered around follower count, engagement rate, and reach, have significant limitations.
These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example, an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand’s products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.
This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense. But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer’s reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading, as some influencers may use tactics like “like-for-like” exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn’t consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.
To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer’s true value, several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer’s audience demographics in more detail. Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing behavior of an influencer’s followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer’s audience aligns with their target market.
Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer’s ability to generate business results. Additionally, brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to identify the most effective approaches.
While these effectiveness metrics alone can’t ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns, implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.
12. What function can the current effectiveness metrics of influencer marketing serve?
A. They can help brands accurately measure sales growth.
B. They can assist in identifying influencers with broad reach.
C. They can guarantee a high return on investment for brands.
D. They can effectively distinguish high-performing influencers.
13. What can be inferred from an influencer having a high engagement rate?
A. Their audience is highly interested in the promoted products.
B. They are definitely capable of driving significant sales.
C. The engagement rate might not reflect real influence.
D. They have a large number of loyal and active followers.
14. What contributes to a more accurate evaluation of an influencer’s value?
A. Focusing solely on the follower count and reach.
B. Relying on the engagement rate as the main criterion.
C. Analyzing the demographics and conversion rates of the audience.
D. Conducting surveys about the influencer’s personal reputation.
15. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To compare different influencer marketing strategies.
B. To expose the false data in influencer marketing metrics.
C. To present the advantages of influencer marketing.
D. To propose improvements for influencer marketing effectiveness metrics

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一列中欧班列从青岛出发,使中欧班列总开行量破 11 万列及其意义。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:据中国国家铁路集团(该服务的运营商)称,周二上午,一列满载家用电器的货运列车从中国东部山东省青岛市出发,使中欧货运班列总数超过11万列。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“on Tuesday morning”可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,所以谓语动词为departed“出发”为。故填departed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据中国国家铁路集团(该服务的运营商)称,周二上午,一列满载家用电器的货运列车从中国东部山东省青岛市出发,使中欧货运班列总数超过11万列。空处作结果状语,push与逻辑主语之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式,表示前面事件自然而然的结果。故填pushing。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:据中国国家铁路集团(该服务的运营商)称,周二上午,一列满载家用电器的货运列车从中国东部山东省青岛市出发,使中欧货运班列总数超过11万列。根据空后“operator of the service”可知,空处需用定冠词the特指中国国家铁路集团。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这列火车载有55个集装箱,装满了价值近2000万元人民币(275万美元)的液晶显示器和冰箱等货物,将开往莫斯科,预计17天后抵达。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The train,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这列火车载有55个集装箱,装满了价值近2000万元人民币(275万美元)的液晶显示器和冰箱等货物,将开往莫斯科,预计17天后抵达。空处作后置定语修饰名词goods,value“估价”为及物动词,和名词goods为被动关系,应用过去分词形式作定语。故填valued。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:这列火车载有55个集装箱,装满了价值近2000万元人民币(275万美元)的液晶显示器和冰箱等货物,将开往莫斯科,预计17天后抵达。be bound for为固定短语,表示“开往”,所以空处应用介词for。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:很明显,这一事件标志着中欧铁路服务的一个重要里程碑。空处引导主语从句,从句结构和句意完整,应用连接词that引导从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填That。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自2011年开通以来,通过中欧货运运输的货物累计价值已超过4500亿美元。空处为谓语,根据时间状语“Since the services began in 2011”可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语为value,助动词应用has。故填has exceeded。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:由于该服务是“一带一路”倡议的旗舰项目,它凸显了铁路连接的高需求和弹性。分析句子逻辑关系可知,前后句之间为因果关系,前句为原因,应用连词 as/since(由于)引导原因状语从句,句首单词首字母需大写。故填As/Since。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:迅速扩张的中欧货运服务网络已成为全球供应链中的关键环节。此处应用非谓语动词;且逻辑主语“China-Europe freight service network”与动词expand之间为主动关系,且表示正在进行的动作,应用现在分词作定语。故填expanding。

47. 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。
In the small town of Millfield, at Cedarwood Middle School, Jake, a lanky and soft-spoken boy with thick glasses, was an easy target for bullies. His passion for astronomy set him apart from his peers. Instead of playing football or video games, he spent his free time stargazing and reading books about galaxies and constellations. Every day at lunch, as Jake sat alone at a corner table, devouring a homemade sandwich and scribbling notes about the latest celestial event he’d read about, a group led by Mark, the school’s self- proclaimed “cool kid,” would pass by.
Mark, tall with a confident swagger, loved the attention he got from his friends. With a smile on his face, he’d lean over Jake’s table and pick up his astronomy notebook. “What’s this? More of your space nonsense?” he’d sneer, waving the notebook in the air. His friends would snicker, and Jake would blush, reaching out timidly to get his notebook back. “Leave me alone,” Jake would mumble, his voice barely above a whisper. “Or what? You’ll call your alien friends to attack me?” Mark would laugh, and the group would walk away, leaving Jake feeling humiliated.
Ms. Thompson, Jake’s science teacher, noticed the situation but could only do so much to stop it during class. “Boys, be respectful,” she’d say whenever she caught Mark teasing Jake. But once out of her sight, the bullying continued.
One day, the school announced a science fair with the theme “Innovation s for the Future.” Students were encouraged to create projects that could change the world. Mark, seeing it as a chance to show off, immediately started planning a project with his friends. Jake, on the other hand, decided to combine his love for astronomy with his dream of making a difference. He began working on a model of a sustainable space colony, spending hours after school in the science lab, building and perfecting his creation.
When the day of the science fair arrived, students and parents crowded into the gymnasium to view the projects. Mark’s group presented a flashy but rather simplistic model of a self- driving car. Jake, nervous but determined, set up his space colony model, complete with detailed explanations of how it would generate energy and recycle resources.
As the judges walked around to evaluate the projects, Mark and his friends watched with smug expressions, convinced they would win. But when the results were about to be announced, everyone held their breath in anticipation.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: The principal stepped onto the stage and cleared his throat. “And the winner of the science fair is...”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: That night as Jake lay in bed, looking out at the stars, he heardknock on his front door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1: The principal stepped onto the stage and cleared his throat. “And the winner of the science fair is... Jake Thompson!” A wave of murmurs swept through the crowd, and Mark’s confident smirk faded into disbelief. Jake’s eyes widened as the judges applauded, impressed by the creativity and depth of his space colony model. He walked up to the stage, his heart pounding, and accepted the trophy with trembling hands. Ms. Thompson beamed proudly, and even some of his classmates cheered. Mark avoided eye contact, clearly stunned by the outcome. As Jake returned to his spot, he felt a shift — perhaps for the first time, he wasn’t just the quiet astronomy boy; he was someone who had built something extraordinary.
Paragraph 2: That night, as Jake lay in bed, looking out at the stars, he heard a knock on his front door. He got up, puzzled, and walked downstairs. His parents were already opening the door, revealing Mark standing there, looking unusually serious. “Can we talk?” Mark asked, his voice quieter than usual. Jake hesitated but nodded. Sitting on the porch steps, Mark cleared his throat. “I... I just wanted to say your project was really cool. I didn’t realize how much thought you put into it.” Jake was surprised but managed a small smile. “Thanks,” he said softly. It wasn’t an apology, but it was a start. Above them, the stars shimmered like possibilities, and for the first time, Jake felt like he wasn’t so alone.
