B
My uncle George, a mentally disabled man, enjoys a simple life-no smartphones, no Internet - so communication is limited to in person or old-style phone calls.
I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year.
Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B. J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.”
“So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time.
This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls.
4. What can we know about George?
A. He is a life guide just like me. B. He tries to keep in touch with me.
C He is a physically disabled man. D. He wants an advanced smartphone.

A. End up. B. Bring up. C. Show up. D. Pick up.
7. What does the passage intend to tell us?

A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been released to help many people deal with their anxiety when making a speech. Dr Chris Macdonald, who created the online platform, said the approach was an attempt to reduce the lengthy waits or high costs people often face when seeking help.
The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform is based on the idea that facing fears directly can help reduce them. It is combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and control the fear response. People using the technology can practice speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom or small audience of virtual figures who feel bored and sleepy, to a stadium of 10,000 viewers, with the option to add distractions such as flashing cameras and loud noises.
A recent study suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 volunteers from China, who each finished a 30-minute session in which they switched between using the VR system and practicing a simple breathing exercise. After that, they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of students who said they were anxious public speakers fell from 65% before the experiment to 20% after the presentations, while the percentage who described themselves as confident rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform.
But Cella, a psychologist and leader of the virtual reality lab at King’s College London, who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk that overdependence on the platform could increase people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,” he said. “As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.”
8. Who may find this platform useful?
A. A graduate preparing for a job interview. B. A delivery driver taking a road safety test.
C. A coach planning athletes’ training workouts. D. A programmer giving instructions to a computer.
9. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To offer advice on using VR. B. To explain the reason for exercise.
C. To describe how the platform works. D. To show how to overcome speech anxiety.
10. What can we learn from the research?
A. The number of users rose dramatically. B. The platform improved users’ English ability.
C. The platform contributed to users’ presentation. D. The users practiced breathing exercise every day.
11. What’s Cella’s attitude to the platform?
A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. A

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Cella所说的话“There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,(在我们的社会中,数字创新者们有很多热情和解决问题的精力来应对心理健康挑战。但不幸的是,由于发展迅速且证据有限,许多像这个平台这样的产品利用率低且寿命短)”以及“As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.(与任何新兴技术一样,评估其实际影响、人们如何使用它、它是否真的能提高信心和减少焦虑,以及可能产生哪些意想不到的影响,这些都至关重要)”可知,Cella指出了平台存在的潜在问题和需要评估的方面,体现出他对该平台是担忧的。故选A。
D
You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, full and satisfied, but only take a look at the dessert menu and you decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.
Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more. Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. In the first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice extra regular food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.
In the mice, researchers monitored the activity of neurons (神经元) that are associated with feelings of fullness. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.
Researchers say the follow-up studies on this neural reward system could throw light on how sugar overconsumption may contribute to the development of obesity.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test new diets for mice B. To improve dessert quality.
C. To help people eat healthily. D. To explain the urge for sweets.
13. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the research?
A. The process. B. The result C. The basis. D. The subject.
14. What may lead to humans’ sugar overconsumption?
A. The feeling of being full. B. The blocking of certain neurons.
C. The release of a chemical. D. The presence of pleasure sensors.
15 What is the best title for this passage?
A. What Makes Mice Prefer Sugar B. Why There’s Always Room for Sugar
C. How We Resist the Temptation of Sugar D. Whether Consuming Sugar Causes Obesity
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究解释人饱餐后仍想吃甜食的原因:实验显示高糖食物激活相关神经元释放化学物质,带来愉悦奖励,驱动继续进食,后续研究或助于了解肥胖。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.(为什么你会例外地给自己来一份甜食呢?毕竟你已经吃得太饱了,根本吃不下第二口了。多亏了最近的一项研究,科学家们现在对这种欲望的起源有了更深入的了解)”可知,研究人员开展这项研究是为了解释对甜食的渴望。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more.

In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.(研究人员以老鼠为实验对象,试图营造出与上述人类经历相似的情境。他们首先给那些自前一天起就未进食的老鼠提供常规食物。这一“进食”阶段持续了90分钟,老鼠会一直进食直到再也吃不下为止。接下来是30分钟的“甜点”阶段。在第一轮实验中,研究人员为老鼠提供了额外的常规食物作为“甜点”,老鼠的进食量只是比第一轮多了一点点。在第二轮实验中,在“甜点”阶段,他们给老鼠提供了一种高糖食物,持续30分钟。老鼠真的对这种高糖食物情有独钟,摄入的热量是第一轮的六倍)”可知,第二段向我们介绍了这项研究的研究过程。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.(他们发现,当老鼠食用高糖饮食时,其神经元会释放一种与大脑中的愉悦感受器相关的化学物质,从而引发一种奖赏感,使老鼠持续进食。当研究团队阻止这种化学物质的释放时,老鼠便不再靠近糖源。当研究人员对接受含糖饮料的志愿者的大脑进行扫描时,也发现了同样的情况。这使得科学家们得出结论:人类大脑中的神经元活动驱动着对高糖食物的摄入)”可知,导致人类过度摄入糖分的原因可能是一种化学物质的释放。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.(为什么你会例外地给自己来一份甜食呢?毕竟你已经吃得太饱了,根本吃不下第二口了。多亏了最近的一项研究,科学家们现在对这种欲望的起源有了更深入的了解)”结合文章主要说明了研究解释人饱餐后仍想吃甜食的原因:实验显示高糖食物激活相关神经元释放化学物质,带来愉悦奖励,驱动继续进食,后续研究或助于了解肥胖。可知,B选项“为什么总有吃糖的余地?”最符合文章标题。故选B。

Living a happy life begins by caring our eyes. Let’s take action now.

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。
Paco was my soul dog. We had been through a lot. Five years ago, he came with me to look after my granddaughter, Mia. Paco was sweet, affectionate and perfectly behaved, particularly with Mia.
Then, Paco got seriously sick. I had to put him to sleep, yet my feelings did not die with him. I missed him so much that it became unbearable. Therefore, I hid Paco’s collar (项圈), empty bed, and stuffed fox — his favorite toy — under my bed. “No more dogs,” I thought. I couldn’t bear that kind of loss again.
A week after Paco died, Mia talked me into going to the shelter to look for a new pet. “A cat,” I reminded Mia on the road.
“There aren’t any cats available right now,” the lady at the desk told us. Mia was disappointed. Suddenly, we heard “Click, click, click”. Turning to see where the noise was coming from, we found a big black dog. He was old and fat. But that didn’t stop him from dancing on his legs, his toenails tapping the glass in front of him. “Pick me”, he seemed to be saying. “Pick me”.
“Can we take him home, please?” Mia said. “I will walk him and feed him.” The dog wagged his tail, a hopeful smile on his face. I still didn’t want a dog, especially not this old, overweight dog. But I couldn’t refuse my granddaughter. “I guess I don’t mind having him,” I said. “But remember, he’s your dog. I’m not going to take care of him. You are.” “I will!” Mia promised. She named him Eddie.
Eddie was thrilled when he arrived home. He dashed around as if to say, “I’m home! I’m home!” Even I couldn’t help smiling. But I had no intention of getting attached. Eddie had other ideas. Every time I turned around, he was at my side. He found Paco’s stuffed fox and tried to play it with me. He snuggled (依偎) beside me on the sofa whenever I sat down and looked at me fondly with a familiar smile on his face. Still, in my heart he was not Paco.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Eddie didn’t mind that I didn’t return his love.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, it was hard for me to imagine a life without Eddie.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Eddie didn’t mind that I didn’t return his love. He seemed happy just to be with me. He even listened patiently when I told him about Paco. Later, I found him snuggling up in Paco’s bed that I’d hidden away. One evening, when I was watching TV, I held Paco’s collar in my hand for comfort. Eddie, as usual, was right beside me. He sniffed the collar and tried to bury his flat face into it, as if trying to say, “I’m your dog.”
Soon, it was hard for me to imagine a life without Eddie. Whenever I sat on the sofa to read or watch TV, it wouldn’t feel right without Eddie snuggling close, his little front legs next to mine, as if to confirm we belonged together. I grew to love his face, his energy and his company. I was grateful for every minute I had with him. Never again would I push away love because I was afraid of loss. Eddie taught me that love was fearless and asked nothing in return. I love you, Eddie. Thank you for choosing me.
【解析】

My uncle George, a mentally disabled man, enjoys a simple life-no smartphones, no Internet - so communication is limited to in person or old-style phone calls.
I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year.
Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B. J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.”
“So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time.
This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls.

A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been released to help many people deal with their anxiety when making a speech. Dr Chris Macdonald, who created the online platform, said the approach was an attempt to reduce the lengthy waits or high costs people often face when seeking help.
The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform is based on the idea that facing fears directly can help reduce them. It is combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and control the fear response. People using the technology can practice speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom or small audience of virtual figures who feel bored and sleepy, to a stadium of 10,000 viewers, with the option to add distractions such as flashing cameras and loud noises.
A recent study suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 volunteers from China, who each finished a 30-minute session in which they switched between using the VR system and practicing a simple breathing exercise. After that, they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of students who said they were anxious public speakers fell from 65% before the experiment to 20% after the presentations, while the percentage who described themselves as confident rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform.
But Cella, a psychologist and leader of the virtual reality lab at King’s College London, who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk that overdependence on the platform could increase people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,” he said. “As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.”
8. Who may find this platform useful?
A. A graduate preparing for a job interview. B. A delivery driver taking a road safety test.
C. A coach planning athletes’ training workouts. D. A programmer giving instructions to a computer.
9. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To offer advice on using VR. B. To explain the reason for exercise.
C. To describe how the platform works. D. To show how to overcome speech anxiety.
10. What can we learn from the research?
A. The number of users rose dramatically. B. The platform improved users’ English ability.
C. The platform contributed to users’ presentation. D. The users practiced breathing exercise every day.
11. What’s Cella’s attitude to the platform?
A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
D
You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, full and satisfied, but only take a look at the dessert menu and you decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.
Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more. Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. In the first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice extra regular food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.
In the mice, researchers monitored the activity of neurons (神经元) that are associated with feelings of fullness. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.
Researchers say the follow-up studies on this neural reward system could throw light on how sugar overconsumption may contribute to the development of obesity.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test new diets for mice B. To improve dessert quality.
C. To help people eat healthily. D. To explain the urge for sweets.
13. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the research?
A. The process. B. The result C. The basis. D. The subject.
14. What may lead to humans’ sugar overconsumption?
A. The feeling of being full. B. The blocking of certain neurons.
C. The release of a chemical. D. The presence of pleasure sensors.
15 What is the best title for this passage?
A. What Makes Mice Prefer Sugar B. Why There’s Always Room for Sugar
C. How We Resist the Temptation of Sugar D. Whether Consuming Sugar Causes Obesity

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。
Paco was my soul dog. We had been through a lot. Five years ago, he came with me to look after my granddaughter, Mia. Paco was sweet, affectionate and perfectly behaved, particularly with Mia.
Then, Paco got seriously sick. I had to put him to sleep, yet my feelings did not die with him. I missed him so much that it became unbearable. Therefore, I hid Paco’s collar (项圈), empty bed, and stuffed fox — his favorite toy — under my bed. “No more dogs,” I thought. I couldn’t bear that kind of loss again.
A week after Paco died, Mia talked me into going to the shelter to look for a new pet. “A cat,” I reminded Mia on the road.
“There aren’t any cats available right now,” the lady at the desk told us. Mia was disappointed. Suddenly, we heard “Click, click, click”. Turning to see where the noise was coming from, we found a big black dog. He was old and fat. But that didn’t stop him from dancing on his legs, his toenails tapping the glass in front of him. “Pick me”, he seemed to be saying. “Pick me”.
“Can we take him home, please?” Mia said. “I will walk him and feed him.” The dog wagged his tail, a hopeful smile on his face. I still didn’t want a dog, especially not this old, overweight dog. But I couldn’t refuse my granddaughter. “I guess I don’t mind having him,” I said. “But remember, he’s your dog. I’m not going to take care of him. You are.” “I will!” Mia promised. She named him Eddie.
Eddie was thrilled when he arrived home. He dashed around as if to say, “I’m home! I’m home!” Even I couldn’t help smiling. But I had no intention of getting attached. Eddie had other ideas. Every time I turned around, he was at my side. He found Paco’s stuffed fox and tried to play it with me. He snuggled (依偎) beside me on the sofa whenever I sat down and looked at me fondly with a familiar smile on his face. Still, in my heart he was not Paco.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Eddie didn’t mind that I didn’t return his love.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, it was hard for me to imagine a life without Eddie.
