Here are some ideal sleep music apps to choose from. Calm Calm is one of the most popular sleep music apps and its large library of relaxing and sleep-causing tracks is largely responsible for that. This app offers a free version, but to really take advantage of what Calm has to offer, you had better choose the paid version, which costs $ 69.99 for one year. A lifetime membership is $ 399.99. Relax Melodies Relax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises. Though its free version provides a great introduction to the idea of sleep music, the paid version unlocks a larger library of sounds. Consider paying for it if there're particular sounds or features that really attract you. Headspace Headspace is a feature-rich app designed in a simple way that makes it quick and easy to use its library of sleep-specific music. The Sleep icon at the bottom of the app is easy to identify and leads to a library of options that include Sleep Music and Sleep Radio. It's worth noting that nearly everything in Headspace's Sleep Library requires an extra subscription. Headspace costs $ 69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month. Pzizz Pzizz offers sleep music tracks you can use at naptime, bedtime, or to improve focus. One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration（旁白）option. If you find the presence of a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you. Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm. It has a free version but you should pay for extra subscriptions. 21．Which app allows you to combine sleep music with breathing exercises? A.Calm. B.Headspace. C.Pzizz. D.Relax Melodies. 22．How much should you pay at least for the one-year subscription of Headspace? A.$12.99. B.$69.99. C.$155.88. D.$399.99. 23．What is special about Pzizz? A.Its voice for narration is fixed. B.It provides low and calm music. C.It offers voice narration options. D.Its focus is sleep-specific music. B When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art standardized （标准化） exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open： I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling （乱画）. In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo （禁忌） high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so convincing that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being determined. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24．What did the author think of her drawing before the standardised exam? A.Discouraging. B.Meaningless. C.Satisfying. D.Empowering. 25．In her 30s, the author ______. A.avoided oil painting practice B.searched for a painting career C.took oil painting seriously D.began water colours as a hobby 26．What attracted the author to oil paintings at last? A.Her ambition. B.Her dream. C.Her grade. D.Her taboo. 27．What can we learn from this passage? A.Practice makes perfect. B.It never rains but it pours. C.Dreams are the reflections of realities. D.Strong will can move mountains. C Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate （振动） once it makes contact with liquid in the user's stomach and makes him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University. VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioElectronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus （下丘脑） to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid （胃液） breaking down the coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste. The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it. "Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leads to fullness," said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. "The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will be needed to explore the physiological effects of the device before it's available for patients." Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials on humans. 28．What is the outcome of taking the pill? A.Liquid production. B.Food storage. C.A sensation of fullness. D.Recovery of users. 29．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2? A.Its working principle. B.Its intelligence. C.Its testing history. D.Its side effect. 30．What is the researchers' ultimate goal of the device? A.To produce gastric fluid with it. B.To destroy the coat around it. C.To fix it in the human body. D.To remove solid waste from it. 31．What is Giovanni Traverso's attitude towards the future of the device? A.Worried. B.Cautious. C.Doubtful. D.Confused. D Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting — a main part of modern-day life — is risky to your health, even if you exercise regularly. Based on these findings, doctors advise all adults to sit less and move more. But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long? Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want: What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting? Now a study by Columbia University exercise physiologists has an answer. Unlike other studies that test one or two activity options, the study tested five different exercise "snacks", or short bursts of activity after a period of time’s sitting： one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes, five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and no walking. The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes. This was the only amount that greatly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, this walking routine had an impressive effect on how the participants responded to large meals, reducing blood sugar spikes （峰值） by 58% compared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes for one minute also provided modest benefits for blood sugar levels throughout the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either for one minute or five minutes, provided no benefit. What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine. While that may sound impractical, the findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the work day can greatly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic （慢性的） illnesses. 32．What does the study by Columbia University focus on? A.What adults should do to keep exercising regularly. B.When and where we need to sit less and move more. C.Why longtime sitting every day is risky to our health. D.How often and how long we need to walk from our chairs. 33．What does the underlined word "counteract" in paragraph 2 mean? A.Cancel out. B.Give up. C.Add to. D.Benefit from. 34．Which walking pattern is the most useful for health according to the text? A.One minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting. B.Five minutes of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting. C.One minute of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting. D.Five minutes of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting. 35．What does the last paragraph show? A.The risks of heart disease and other illnesses. B.The daily exercise routine suitable for everyone. C.The suggestions on the health of the office staff. D.The ways of moving regularly at work every day. 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。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. 36                          Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally. What we eat reveals our roots. Families pass down recipes like treasures, keeping traditions alive. The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. 37                          These habits show how geography shapes diets. In Singapore, many families cook special dishes during festivals to remember their history. 38                          Just as Japanese tea ceremonies build friendship, sharing meals creates cross-cultural bonds. Mixed communities often mix food styles, like adding spices to traditional dishes. This explains why tasting local food tops travelers’ to-do lists — it opens doors to meaningful interactions with locals. Familiar tastes instantly transport us home. Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad, proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot. 39                          From family kitchens to international restaurants, food carries cultural stories. Its power to both unite people and protect traditions makes it special. Food and food habits serve as a cultural channel of display of affection and emotional association, meanwhile, sharing delicious and nutritious food undoubtedly signals a bridge of closeness or acceptance. 40                          A．Eating habits are hard to change once formed. B．It has many key roles in human life beyond basic nutrition. C．By valuing food cultures, we build more inclusive societies. D．Such moments turn simple eating into emotional connections. E．Food traditions, however, sometimes require careful protection. F．Furthermore, exploring local cuisine helps travelers understand new cultures. G．For example, coastal people eat fish daily while mountain villages often use more grains. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ms. Brooks was a high school teacher in a less developed town in Mexico.

They were headed for a well-deserved vacation from their candy store, and Carly had promised them she'd be able to run it by herself. Her parents didn't quite agree, however, so they gave in to each other by having Carly's aunt Maggie come over and help. Her parents often called her aunt "uniquely creative", but it didn't matter； Carly always had fun when her aunt was around. Maggie blew into the store happily. "All right, Carly my love, what do we do first?" she smiled at her niece. Carly knew clearly the main job was to serve customers, so she could hardly wait to make her best candies. Seeing them on display, Aunt Maggie took a bite of the chocolate mint-flavored candy. "It's good, but... unoriginal," commented her aunt. "We can do better. " Before Carly could question what Maggie meant, the woman had gone to investigate the kitchen in the back. Shortly she came back , hands full of items." We need to add some of these to better that basic taste. " "Brussels sprouts（球芽甘蓝）?" Carly looked at her aunt, surprised and puzzled. She couldn't be serious！ But she was. Carly's eyes grew wide as she watched her aunt mix them together. " And some spicy sauce? That's definitely an ice cream flavor. The cold will perfectly make candies less spicy！" Carly shook her head as Maggie continued her strange candy combinations： lemonade-flavored candy, barbecue-flavored candy... Carly looked up as the bell over the front door rang, which announced some customers. Three boys came in and approached the counter." Try something new！" insisted Maggie, offering the first boy a piece of the Brussels sprout candy she had made, the second boy a spoon of the hot sauce one... Puzzled, but too polite to argue, the boys left the store. "There go our customers. Nobody will want to shop here！" Carly said to herself. The store was quiet. Carly sat behind the counter, not knowing what to wait for. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1：     With the sound of the bell again, the boys came back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：     Carly had never seen the shop so busy! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。We can go to the theater tonight, or would you rather eat at a restaurant?

Listen to the next question. If you only need to travel a short distance, the quick kest way to travel in most cities is on foot during working hours between approximately nine am and five o'clock pm, monday through friday.

Here are some ideal sleep music apps to choose from. Calm Calm is one of the most popular sleep music apps and its large library of relaxing and sleep-causing tracks is largely responsible for that. This app offers a free version, but to really take advantage of what Calm has to offer, you had better choose the paid version, which costs $ 69.99 for one year. A lifetime membership is $ 399.99. Relax Melodies Relax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises. Though its free version provides a great introduction to the idea of sleep music, the paid version unlocks a larger library of sounds. Consider paying for it if there're particular sounds or features that really attract you. Headspace Headspace is a feature-rich app designed in a simple way that makes it quick and easy to use its library of sleep-specific music. The Sleep icon at the bottom of the app is easy to identify and leads to a library of options that include Sleep Music and Sleep Radio. It's worth noting that nearly everything in Headspace's Sleep Library requires an extra subscription. Headspace costs $ 69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month. Pzizz Pzizz offers sleep music tracks you can use at naptime, bedtime, or to improve focus. One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration（旁白）option. If you find the presence of a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you. Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm. It has a free version but you should pay for extra subscriptions. 21．Which app allows you to combine sleep music with breathing exercises? A.Calm. B.Headspace. C.Pzizz. D.Relax Melodies. 22．How much should you pay at least for the one-year subscription of Headspace? A.$12.99. B.$69.99. C.$155.88. D.$399.99. 23．What is special about Pzizz? A.Its voice for narration is fixed. B.It provides low and calm music. C.It offers voice narration options. D.Its focus is sleep-specific music. 21．答案： D 解析： 细节理解题。根据Relax Melodies部分"Relax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises."可知,RelaxMelodies不仅提供睡眠音乐,而且向用户分享呼吸练习技巧。 22．答案： B 解析： 数字计算题。根据Headspace部分"Headspace costs $69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month."可知,Headspace一年的订阅费用至少是69.99美元。 23．答案： C 解析： 细节理解题。根据Pzizz部分"One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration（旁白） option. If you find the presenceof a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you, Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm."可知,Pzizz的特别之处是它提供多种旁白音的选择。 B When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art standardized （标准化） exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open： I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling （乱画）. In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo （禁忌） high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so convincing that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being determined. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24．What did the author think of her drawing before the standardised exam? A.Discouraging. B.Meaningless. C.Satisfying. D.Empowering. 25．In her 30s, the author ______. A.avoided oil painting practice B.searched for a painting career C.took oil painting seriously D.began water colours as a hobby 26．What attracted the author to oil paintings at last? A.Her ambition. B.Her dream. C.Her grade. D.Her taboo. 27．What can we learn from this passage? A.Practice makes perfect. B.It never rains but it pours. C.Dreams are the reflections of realities. D.Strong will can move mountains. 24．答案： C 解析： 根据第三段,作者在中学时期非常喜欢艺术,认为自己擅长于此。尽管标准化考试中失败,但在考试前她对自己的绘画能力充满信心,认为自己的作品令人满意,因此选C。 25．答案： A 解析： 第四段提到,作者在30多岁时结识了从事油画的朋友,但自己将油画视为禁忌,避免实践,因此选A。 26．答案： B 解析： 第五段描述作者因一个说服力极强的梦开始尝试油画,因此选B。 27．答案： D 解析： 文章结尾强调决心的重要性,作者通过克服恐惧和冒险实验重新开始创作,因此选D。 C Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate （振动） once it makes contact with liquid in the user's stomach and makes him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University. VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioElectronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus （下丘脑） to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid （胃液） breaking down the coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste. The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it. "Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leads to fullness," said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. "The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will be needed to explore the physiological effects of the device before it's available for patients." Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials on humans. 28．What is the outcome of taking the pill? A.Liquid production. B.Food storage. C.A sensation of fullness. D.Recovery of users. 29．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2? A.Its working principle. B.Its intelligence. C.Its testing history. D.Its side effect. 30．What is the researchers' ultimate goal of the device? A.To produce gastric fluid with it. B.To destroy the coat around it. C.To fix it in the human body. D.To remove solid waste from it. 31．What is Giovanni Traverso's attitude towards the future of the device? A.Worried. B.Cautious. C.Doubtful. D.Confused. 28．答案： C 解析： 理解具体信息。根据第一段中的"once it makes contact with liquid in the user's stomach and makes him or her feel full"可知,一旦吃上这种药片,人就会产生饱腹感,故选C。sensation"感觉,知觉"。 29．答案： A 解析： 推断。根据第二段中的"the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food...After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste"可知,这种革命性的装置的工作原理是激活胃中的牵张感受器,模拟食物的存在。这反过来又使下丘脑增加能使我们感到饱腹的激素水平。振动刺激器由被包裹的电池供电,通过胃液分解药丸周围的涂层,或由被包含的定时器激活。在产生预期的效果后,药丸与其他固体废物一起离开身体。由此可见,本段讲到了该设备的工作原理,故A项正确。 30．答案： C 解析： 理解具体信息。本题问"研究人员关于该设备的最终目标是什么?"。A项"用它产生胃液"；B项"摧毁它周围的覆盖层"；C项"把它固定在人体内"；D项"把它的固体垃圾清理掉"。根据第三段中的"it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it"可知,研究人员希望最终将该刺激器植入体内,从而使人们不必不断吞下它,故C项正确。 31．答案： B 解析： 理解观点、态度。根据倒数第二段中Giovanni Traverso所说的话"future studies will be needed to explore the physiological effects of the device before it's available for patients"可知,在该设备上市之前还需要进行研究以探索其生理效应。据此可以推断,Giovanni Traverso对该设备的前景持谨慎态度,故选B。 D Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting — a main part of modern-day life — is risky to your health, even if you exercise regularly. Based on these findings, doctors advise all adults to sit less and move more. But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long? Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want: What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting? Now a study by Columbia University exercise physiologists has an answer. Unlike other studies that test one or two activity options, the study tested five different exercise "snacks", or short bursts of activity after a period of time’s sitting： one minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute after 60 minutes, five minutes every 30, five minutes every 60 and no walking. The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes. This was the only amount that greatly lowered both blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, this walking routine had an impressive effect on how the participants responded to large meals, reducing blood sugar spikes （峰值） by 58% compared with sitting all day. Taking a walking break every 30 minutes for one minute also provided modest benefits for blood sugar levels throughout the day, while walking every 60 minutes, either for one minute or five minutes, provided no benefit. What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine. While that may sound impractical, the findings show that even small amounts of walking spread through the work day can greatly lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic （慢性的） illnesses. 32．What does the study by Columbia University focus on? A.What adults should do to keep exercising regularly. B.When and where we need to sit less and move more. C.Why longtime sitting every day is risky to our health. D.How often and how long we need to walk from our chairs. 33．What does the underlined word "counteract" in paragraph 2 mean? A.Cancel out. B.Give up. C.Add to. D.Benefit from. 34．Which walking pattern is the most useful for health according to the text? A.One minute of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting. B.Five minutes of walking after every 30 minutes of sitting. C.One minute of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting. D.Five minutes of walking after every 60 minutes of sitting. 35．What does the last paragraph show? A.The risks of heart disease and other illnesses. B.The daily exercise routine suitable for everyone. C.The suggestions on the health of the office staff. D.The ways of moving regularly at work every day. 32．答案： D 解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段"But how often do we need to get up from our chairs? And for how long?"（但是我们需要多久从椅子上站一次?持续多久?）可知,哥伦比亚大学关注的是我们需要多久从椅子上走开一次并且要走多久。故选D项 33．答案： A 解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段"Mounting evidence suggests that longtime sitting — a main part of modern-day life — is risky to your health。"（越来越多的证据表明,即使你经常锻炼,长期久坐——现代生活的主要部分——对你的健康也是有风险的。）及第二段划线单词的句子"Few studies have compared multiple options to come up with the answer most office workers want： What is the least amount of activity needed to counteract the health effects of a workday filled with sitting?"（很少有研究对多种选择进行比较,以得出大多数上班族想要的答案：为了counteract久坐的工作日对健康的影响,最少的活动量是多少?）可知,前文提到久坐对健康有影响,推断出上班族关心的对于抵消工作日久坐对健康的影响最少的活动量是多少,counteract和A项"抵消"意思一致。故选A项。 34．答案： B 解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段"The proper amount of movement, the researchers found, was five minutes of walking every 30 minutes."（研究人员发现,适当的运动量是每30分钟步行5分钟。）可知,根据文章可知对于健康最有用的行走模式是每30分钟步行5分钟。故选B项。 35．答案： C 解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段"What we know now is that for best health, you need to move regularly at work, in addition to a daily exercise routine."（我们现在所知道的是,为了获得最佳健康,除了日常锻炼外,你还需要在工作中定期运动。）可知,最后一段展示出这是关于办公室工作人员健康的建议。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。 As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values. 36                          Food, in the form of recipes, is passed on from one generation to another, both expressing identity and maintaining links ancestrally, geographically, and even emotionally. What we eat reveals our roots. Families pass down recipes like treasures, keeping traditions alive. The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. 37                          These habits show how geography shapes diets. In Singapore, many families cook special dishes during festivals to remember their history. 38                          Just as Japanese tea ceremonies build friendship, sharing meals creates cross-cultural bonds. Mixed communities often mix food styles, like adding spices to traditional dishes. This explains why tasting local food tops travelers’ to-do lists — it opens doors to meaningful interactions with locals. Familiar tastes instantly transport us home. Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad, proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot. 39                          From family kitchens to international restaurants, food carries cultural stories. Its power to both unite people and protect traditions makes it special. Food and food habits serve as a cultural channel of display of affection and emotional association, meanwhile, sharing delicious and nutritious food undoubtedly signals a bridge of closeness or acceptance. 40                          A．Eating habits are hard to change once formed. B．It has many key roles in human life beyond basic nutrition. C．By valuing food cultures, we build more inclusive societies. D．Such moments turn simple eating into emotional connections. E．Food traditions, however, sometimes require careful protection. F．Furthermore, exploring local cuisine helps travelers understand new cultures. G．For example, coastal people eat fish daily while mountain villages often use more grains. 答案： B；G；F；D；C 解析： 36根据上文As a basic human need, food connects people worldwide while showing unique cultural values.(作为人类的基本需求，食物在全球范围内连接着人们，并展现了独特的文化价值。)可知，食物除了基本的营养作用外，还有其他的价值。B选项(它在人类生活中除了基本营养外还有许多关键作用。)符合语境。故选B项。 37根据上文The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry.（一个地方的传统饮食涉及到身份和祖先。）可知，传统饮食与身份和祖先有关，下文应进一步解释这一观点。G选项（例如，沿海地区的人每天吃鱼，而山村则经常使用更多的谷物。通过举例说明了饮食习惯与地理位置的关系，进一步解释了上文提到的传统饮食与身份和祖先的联系。故选G项。 38根据下文Just as Japanese tea ceremonies build friendship, sharing meals creates cross-cultural bonds.（就像日本的茶道能建立友谊一样，共享食物能创造跨文化的联系。）可知，本段讲述的是共享食物能创造跨文化的联系。F选项（此外，探索当地美食有助于旅行者了解新文化。）与下文相呼应，进一步说明了共享食物在跨文化交流中的作用。故选F项。 39根据上文Migrants cook childhood dishes to fight loneliness abroad, proving food’s power to comfort. Shared meals express love worldwide, whether through a mother’s homemade soup or friends gathering around a hotpot.（移民在国外烹饪童年的菜肴来对抗孤独，这证明了食物安慰人心的力量。无论是通过母亲做的家常汤还是朋友们围坐在火锅旁，共享食物在全球都表达着爱。）可知，本段讲述的是共享食物在表达情感方面的作用。D选项（这样的时刻将简单的进食变成了情感的连接。）总结了上文提到的共享食物在表达情感方面的作用，承接上文。故选D项。 40根据上文Food and food habits serve as a cultural channel of display of affection and emotional association, mean while sharing delicious and nutritious food undoubtedly signals a bridge of closeness or acceptance.（食物和饮食习惯是表达情感和情感联系的文化渠道，同时，分享美味和营养的食物无疑象征着亲密或接受的桥梁。）可知，本段讲述的是食物和饮食习惯在文化交流中的作用。C选项（通过珍视食物文化，我们建立了更加包容的社会。）总结了上文提到的食物和饮食习惯在文化交流中的积极作用本文是一篇应用文。文章就如何让和家人在一起的时间更愉快、更充实提出建议。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ms. Brooks was a high school teacher in a less developed town in Mexico.

Don't worry. We'll take care of everything！" Carly waved at the front door of the shop as her parents drove off. They were headed for a well-deserved vacation from their candy store, and Carly had promised them she'd be able to run it by herself. Her parents didn't quite agree, however, so they gave in to each other by having Carly's aunt Maggie come over and help. Her parents often called her aunt "uniquely creative", but it didn't matter； Carly always had fun when her aunt was around. Maggie blew into the store happily. "All right, Carly my love, what do we do first?" she smiled at her niece. Carly knew clearly the main job was to serve customers, so she could hardly wait to make her best candies. Seeing them on display, Aunt Maggie took a bite of the chocolate mint-flavored candy. "It's good, but... unoriginal," commented her aunt. "We can do better. " Before Carly could question what Maggie meant, the woman had gone to investigate the kitchen in the back. Shortly she came back , hands full of items." We need to add some of these to better that basic taste. " "Brussels sprouts（球芽甘蓝）?" Carly looked at her aunt, surprised and puzzled. She couldn't be serious！ But she was. Carly's eyes grew wide as she watched her aunt mix them together. " And some spicy sauce? That's definitely an ice cream flavor. The cold will perfectly make candies less spicy！" Carly shook her head as Maggie continued her strange candy combinations： lemonade-flavored candy, barbecue-flavored candy... Carly looked up as the bell over the front door rang, which announced some customers. Three boys came in and approached the counter." Try something new！" insisted Maggie, offering the first boy a piece of the Brussels sprout candy she had made, the second boy a spoon of the hot sauce one... Puzzled, but too polite to argue, the boys left the store. "There go our customers. Nobody will want to shop here！" Carly said to herself. The store was quiet. Carly sat behind the counter, not knowing what to wait for. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1：     With the sound of the bell again, the boys came back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：     Carly had never seen the shop so busy! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案： Paragraph 1：     With the sound of the bell again, the boys came back.But this time there was a crowd of kids with them. A line was forming out of the door! The silence was replaced with chats. The kids were laughing, pointing at the candies with new flavors, and pulling a handful of coins from their pockets. "I’ll have a lemonade one, please!" "Give me two pieces of Brussels sprout candies, please!" "The hot sauce ice cream, please!"... Carly and her aunt were occupied(in) serving all the customers, and more lined up at the door every minute. Paragraph 2：     Carly had never seen the shop so busy! It seemed that the customers could not get enough of Maggie's crazy candy combinations. Incredibly! When they finally sent the last Customer out and hung up the "Closed" sign, they were exhausted but in extraordinarily high spirits. That was the craziest day, ever. Giving her aunt a thumbs-up, Carly said" smilingly, "Aunt Maggie, you're a genius." "I know," grinned her aunt, winking at Carly (with the usual sweet smile on her face). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
