In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
4. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.
5. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”?
A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter.
C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive.
6. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea?
A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
7. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. B

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer.

It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法。从厨师的刀锋上像雪一样落下的鱼片,在锅里闪闪发光的热中跳舞的肉片,在蒸笼里膨胀的小米或大米。它是在陶制的酱菜缸或酒缸中大量使用微生物,是在狭小的厨房里创造出一百种口味,是将天然原料转化为多种形式。从鸭子的舌头到橘子皮,它都在寻找让人愉悦的方法。它是人类智慧和创造力的最高表现之一)”可推知,作者通过提供更多的例来进一步解释她的观点。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.(但随着时间的推移,我开始明白这是什么意思。现在,我总能感觉到,当一个中国人开始喜欢我的时候,因为他们开始过度担心我的身体需求,催促我吃或喝,穿暖和,休息。当一脸严肃的厨师叫着让我早餐再吃点包子,或者李逼着我再吃一口她的红烧肉时,我知道他们给了我一个可食用的拥抱)”及第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法)”和最后一段“Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.(最重要的是,它将我们联系在一起,使我们成为人类)”可推知,作者通过文章传达的信息是食物即文化,文化即食物,强调食物在文化中的重要性和连接性。故选B项。
C
Marine communities traveled to Antarctica during the Earth’s warmest phase in 66 million years, long before a major extinction occurred.
Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs.
The study implies that plankton (浮游生物) relocated to cooler places to escape the tropical (热带的) heat, leaving only the most highly specialized species to survive. These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions.
Dr Adam Woodhouse from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, explained: “Considering three billion people live in the tropics, this is not great news. Biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed in the last 66 million years, but no one had explored it on a global, spatial scale through the lens of a single database.” “We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.” Adam added.
The fossil record of marine plankton is the most complete and extensive document of ancient biological changes available to science. By applying advanced computational analyses to this document, researchers detailed global community structure of the oceans since the death of the dinosaurs, revealing that community change often precedes the extinction of organisms.
The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models.
8 What is the major finding of the study?
A. Tropical plankton adapted to extreme heat. B. Marine life responds earlier than expected.
C. Fossil records predict future climate change. D. Warming causes immediate biodiversity loss.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. Fossil fuel use must be stopped immediately.
B. Ocean shipping traffic need stricter regulation.
C. Gene editing of plankton makes for their heat tolerance.
D. Monitoring marine community structure should be enhanced.
10. What role did the Triton dataset play in the research?
A. Predict future climate models. B. Track species’ extinction timelines.
C. Compare tropical and polar ecosystems. D. Reveal spatial responses to global warmth.
11. What will the research team investigate next?
A. Causes of tropical extinctions. B. Forms of the Ice age community.
C. Samples of other groups and models. D. Adaptation strategies of human beings.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现,6600万年前地球最热时期,海洋生物群落迁徙至南极。这表明群落结构变化先于生物灭绝,故需加强监测海洋群落结构以预测未来灭绝,团队还将研究更多浮游生物群。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs.(最近,一组研究人员对生物多样性和全球生物群落结构进行了比较研究,他们发现,生物群落往往会比生物多样性丧失发生早数百万年就对气候变化做出反应)”可知,这项研究的主要发现是海洋生物的反应时间比预期的要早。故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions.(这些发现表明,群落规模的变化会在物种灭绝之前很久就显现出来,并且应当投入更多精力去监测海洋群落的结构,以期能够预测未来的海洋物种灭绝情况)”可知,应当加强对海洋生物群落结构的监测。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.(我们利用我在博士期间创建的Triton数据集,为如何从空间角度观察生物多样性对全球气候变化的响应提供了新的见解,尤其是在与未来全球变暖预测相关的全球温暖时期)”可知,Triton数据集揭示了全球变暖对空间环境的影响。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models.(该团队计划将类似的策略应用于其他海洋浮游生物群落。此次研究仅考察了浮游有孔虫类;然而,还有众多其他微化石类群在海洋食物网中发挥着关键作用,有待进一步研究。他们还必须利用历史和当前的模式,结合新的气候模型来预测未来的群落结构)”可知,研究团队接下来将要探究其他群体和模型的样本。故选C。
D
Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could deny the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词)of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The theoretical basis of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The methodology of the study.
13. Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher, says no matter what.
B. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
C. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Learning from their own experience. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Declining complex concepts. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
B. To clarify a misunderstanding about children’s learning ability.
C. To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.
D. To guide adults to help children avoid wrong ideas about the world.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项发表于《发展心理学》杂志的研究,探讨了儿童如何对待与他们通常想法相悖的观点,以及他们是否会通过实证来检验这些观点,并指出这种实证立场在儿童成长中的意义,同时提出成年人也应从中学习。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.(这项研究涉及来自中国学校的近200名3至8岁的儿童。每个孩子面前都放着五个大小不一的俄罗斯套娃。孩子们自然地认为最小的娃娃最轻,最大的最重。当被要求找出最重的物体时,大多数孩子选择了最大的那个。然后,一个成年人要么同意孩子们的选择,要么声称最小的娃娃最重。研究人员观察孩子们是否会改变主意,或者通过比较娃娃的重量来检验成年人的说法)”可知,本段主要介绍了这项研究的具体方法和过程,包括研究对象、实验材料、实验步骤等。故D选项“The methodology of the study.(研究的方法)”是本段主要内容。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This way of checking, known as the ‘empirical stance,’ is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.(这种检查方式,即‘实证立场’,在孩子们上小学时就很明显了)”和第四段中“However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls.(然而,当有机会探索这些娃娃时,那些听到惊人说法的小学生们会系统地通过比较最小和最大的娃娃来检验这个说法)”可知,实证立场指的是通过实际探索或比较来检验观点或说法。B选项“Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.(艾玛假设西瓜是甜的,然后尝了尝)”中的艾玛先假设西瓜甜,然后通过品尝来验证自己的假设,这符合实证立场的定义。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.(所以,虽然孩子们可能会从成年人那里了解到圣诞老人的魔力,但成年人同样也可以从小学龄儿童身上学到一些东西:我们大多数人都应该比现在更经常地采取实证立场)”可知,作者认为成年人也应该像儿童一样,更多地采取实证立场,即通过自己的经验或实证来检验和更新观点。A选项“Learning from their own experience.(从自己的经验中学习)”符合这一观点,即通过个人经验来学习和验证事物。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.(但成年人同样也可以从小学龄儿童身上学到一些东西:我们大多数人都应该比现在更经常地采取实证立场)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于儿童如何对待与他们通常想法相悖的观点,并如何通过实证来检验这些观点的研究,并指出这种实证立场不仅对于儿童成长有重要意义,成年人也应该从中学习,更多地采取实证立场。所以C选项“To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.(倡导所有年龄层都采取更实证的方法)”是本文的写作目的。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular example of pop-psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). ____16____. And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps!
____17____, as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. ____18____. It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese.
Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy. ____19____. Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviours as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark,“ what would be the point of having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters?” Habits are meant to be difficult to change.
Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV — after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. ___20___. Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy. Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them.
A. This is, of course, nonsense
B. The 21- day rule does have some scientific basis
C. We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower
D. The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs
E. Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes
F. And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick
G. One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了关于习惯改变的一些常见误解,特别是“21天养成一个新习惯”的说法。
【16题详解】
根据前文“We probably owe this particular example of pop- psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). (我们可能要把这个流行心理学智慧的特别例子归功于整形外科医生Maxwell Maltz,他声称自己观察到,失去一条胳膊或一条腿的人平均只需要21天就能适应一条肢体的失去。)”可知,此处陈述了Maxwell Maltz的观点。E选项“Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes(因此,他推断所有大的变化都是如此)”承接前文,选项中的he指代前文的Maxwell Maltz,符合语境。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据前文“And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps!( 因此,改变一个习惯必须花21天,也许,也许!)”以及后文“as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. (如同心理学家Phillippa Lally和她的同事的一项新研究帮助证实的。她的研究对象试图养成新习惯,比如每天吃水果或慢跑,他们平均花了令人沮丧的66天时间才报告说,这些行为已经变成了习惯性的行为。)”可知,Maxwell Maltz认为改变一个习惯必须花21天时间,但是Phillippa Lally和她的同事的一项新研究证实了Maxwell Maltz所提出的观点是错误的。A选项“This is, of course, nonsense(当然,这是无稽之谈)”直接反驳了第一段的观点,this指代前文的观点的内容即改变一个习惯必须花21天,该选项符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文“It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese.( 开始多吃几个苹果不可能像开始每周抽出五个小时学习中文那么容易。)”可知,此处强调多吃几个苹果不可能像每周抽出五个小时学习中文那么容易。F选项“And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick(不出所料,有些习惯比其他习惯更难坚持)”直接指出了不同习惯养成的难易程度不同,照应后文中将吃苹果和学韩语相对比的例子。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21- day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy.(自助文化坚持21天规则的虚构,可能是因为它使习惯改变听起来基本上很容易。)”强调自我帮助文化坚持“21天规则”的虚构,可能是因为它想让习惯改变听起来很容易。G选项“One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard(一个简单得令人沮丧的问题是:改变习惯很难)”可知,该选项指出了坚持21天规则的一个主要问题,即改变习惯很难,对上述观点进行了反驳,指出了改变习惯的真正难度。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV —— after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. (另一个问题是,我们倾向于错误地思考习惯的改变。比如说,我们想停止看那么多电视,但另一方面,很明显,我们也想看很多电视——毕竟,我们一直在看电视。我们深陷希腊人所说的“akrasia”:决定最好的行动方针,然后做其他事情。)”可知,前面提到的是我们在习惯改变上的错误思维方式,即想要做某事(如少看电视),但实际上却继续做其它的事。D选项“The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs(解决这个问题的方法是认识到习惯是对需求的反应)”针对前文的问题提出了解决方案即要理解并满足我们的真正需求,而不是简单地错误地改变某个习惯。故选D。

【37题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:周五在英国巴斯举行的“和谐茶”文化沙龙旨在庆祝5月21日的国际茶日,并向参与者承诺有机会体验中国中部湖北省的茶和文化。分析可知,此处表示“旨在”,应用动词短语aim at。故填at。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:周五在英国巴斯举行的“和谐茶”文化沙龙旨在庆祝5月21日的国际茶日,并向参与者承诺有机会体验中国中部湖北省的茶和文化。分析句子可知,此处为修饰名词opportunity,应用不定式作后置定语,opportunity to do“做……的机会”为惯用表达。故填to experience。

【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今天下午,我们英国人来到巴斯,这是最重要、最优雅的下午茶目的地。分析句子可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Bath,指物,应填关系代词which,作定语从句的主语。故填which。

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。
I’m not known to be a particularly lucky person. Raffles (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 (预警), a 100% chance of a lightning storm, and a tornado warning.
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。
Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The kind lady drove me through the pounding rain toward a nearby Starbucks.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer. The wind picked up, 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.

In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.
It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.
Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.
Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.
4. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning?
A. To compare the difference in two cultures.
B. To introduce how Chinese express their love.
C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be.
D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness.

C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods.
7. What message does the author intend to convey through the text?
A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Marine communities traveled to Antarctica during the Earth’s warmest phase in 66 million years, long before a major extinction occurred.
Recently, a team of researchers compared biodiversity and global community structure, and they discovered that the community frequently responds to climate change millions of years before biodiversity loss occurs.
The study implies that plankton (浮游生物) relocated to cooler places to escape the tropical (热带的) heat, leaving only the most highly specialized species to survive. These findings suggest that changes on the community size will be visible long before extinctions, and that greater effort should be put into monitoring the structure of marine communities to potentially forecast future marine extinctions.
Dr Adam Woodhouse from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, explained: “Considering three billion people live in the tropics, this is not great news. Biodiversity among marine plankton groups has changed in the last 66 million years, but no one had explored it on a global, spatial scale through the lens of a single database.” “We used the Triton dataset that I created during my PhD, offering new insights into how biodiversity responds spatially to global changes in climate, especially during intervals of global warmth relevant to future warming predictions.” Adam added.
The fossil record of marine plankton is the most complete and extensive document of ancient biological changes available to science. By applying advanced computational analyses to this document, researchers detailed global community structure of the oceans since the death of the dinosaurs, revealing that community change often precedes the extinction of organisms.
The team intends to apply similar strategies to additional marine plankton groupings. This study only looked at planktonic foraminifera (有孔虫类); however, there are numerous additional microfossil groups that play key roles in marine food webs to be investigated. They must also use historical and current patterns to anticipate future community organization with new climate models.
8. What is the major finding of the study?
A. Tropical plankton adapted to extreme heat. B. Marine life responds earlier than expected.
C. Fossil records predict future climate change. D. Warming causes immediate biodiversity loss.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. Fossil fuel use must be stopped immediately.
B. Ocean shipping traffic need stricter regulation.
C. Gene editing of plankton makes for their heat tolerance.
D. Monitoring marine community structure should be enhanced.
10. What role did the Triton dataset play in the research?
A. Predict future climate models. B. Track species’ extinction timelines.
C. Compare tropical and polar ecosystems. D. Reveal spatial responses to global warmth.
11. What will the research team investigate next?
A. Causes of tropical extinctions. B. Forms of the Ice age community.
C. Samples of other groups and models. D. Adaptation strategies of human beings.

Many people have wondered why children believe in things like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, thinking that children’s minds are easily fooled. However, developmental psychology offers a different perspective.
A study published in Developmental Psychology explores how children react to ideas that go against what they usually think and if they check these ideas against what they expect. This way of checking, known as the “empirical stance,” is apparent by the time children reach elementary school.
The study involved nearly 200 children aged 3 to 8 from Chinese schools. Each child was presented with five differently-sized objects made from painted Russian dolls. The children naturally assumed that the smallest doll was the lightest and the largest the heaviest. When asked to identify the heaviest object, most children chose the largest one. An adult then either agreed with the children’s choice or made a claim that the smallest doll was the heaviest. The researchers observed whether the children would change their minds or test the adult’s claim by comparing the weights of the dolls.
Initially, children seemed to trust the adult’s word, with only a small percentage insisting on their original belief. However, when given the opportunity to explore the dolls, elementary school children who had received the surprising claim systematically tested it by comparing the smallest and largest dolls. This exploration allowed them to generate evidence that could deny the adult’s claim.
These findings suggest that while children are willing to trust an adult’s surprising claims, their acceptance is temporary. By elementary school, they systematically test such claims by seeking new evidence, which they then use to update their beliefs.
The study’s implications extend beyond childhood Most adults accept complex concepts, such as the existence of electrons, based on the testimony(证词)of others rather than personal experience.
So while children may learn about the magic of Santa Claus from adults, adults might similarly have something to learn from elementary school children: most of us would do well to adopt an empirical stance more often than we currently do.
12. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The theoretical basis of the study. B. The conclusion of the study.
C. The significance of the study. D. The methodology of the study.
13 Which child’s response matches the empirical stance?
A. Taylor believes what the teacher, says no matter what.
B. Emma assumes the watermelon is sweet and then tastes it.
C. Jordan thinks the earth is flat because his father says so.
D. Maya suspects there are monsters living in trees as the story says.
14. What lesson could adults learn from children?
A. Learning from their own experience. B. Never trusting anyone.
C. Declining complex concepts. D. Counting on others’ testimony.
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To highlight adults’ role in children’s education and growth.
B. To clarify a misunderstanding about children’s learning ability.
C. To advocate for a more empirical approach across all ages.
D. To guide adults to help children avoid wrong ideas about the world.

Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular example of pop-psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). ____16____. And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps!
____17____, as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. ____18____. It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese.
Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy. ____19____. Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviours as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark,“ what would be the point of having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters?” Habits are meant to be difficult to change.
Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV — after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. ___20___. Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy. Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them.
A. This is, of course, nonsense
B. The 21- day rule does have some scientific basis
C. We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower
D. The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs
E. Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes
F. And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick
G. One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard

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。
I’m not known to be a particularly lucky person. Raffles (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 (预警), a 100% chance of a lightning storm, and a tornado warning.
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。
Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer.
