Click here to register.(网上登记：所有前往联合国总部的访客必须在抵达前在联合国安全网站上登记。点击这里注册)”可知，访客必须在抵达前在联合国安全网站上登记。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章结尾“Adult: $29.00(成年人：29美元)”和“Child (Ages 5-12): $17.00(孩子（5-12岁）：17美元)”可知，一对夫妇带着一个11岁的孩子需支付29×2+17=75美元，故选C项。 B At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Severe and forbidding. B. Competent and cautious. C. Friendly and energetic. D. Cheerful and approachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in2004 tsunami relief. D Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Resilience matters most. B. Forgetting aids recovery. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述身为应急规划师的伊斯特霍普看似温和，实则曾参与重大灾害救援，此前公众鲜少知晓她。2023年出书后受关注，因读者需求再著书分享经验，她认为应对灾难应关注细微痛苦、铭记灾害影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. (初看之下，伊斯特霍普似乎一点都不像 “卡珊德拉式的人物”。她笑容爽朗，举止亲切又充满母性；若非要说出她的职业，你或许会猜是护士或教师)”可知，伊斯特霍普笑容爽朗，举止亲切又充满母性，一点都不像“卡珊德拉式的人物”。由此推知，“卡珊德拉式的人物”是严肃且不易亲近的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(20年来，公众对这项在幕后进行的至关重要的工作一无所知，尽管她在我们所谓的专业灾难界受到极大的钦佩：她是一种冷静的声音和智慧的源泉。但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《When the Dust Settles》，情况发生了变化。人们对她的所作所为非常感兴趣)”可知，2003年出版的畅销书后让公众对伊斯特霍普的工作有了更多认识。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“我会告诉他们，我并非在恐惧中生活，也会给他们一些基础建议。但这远远不够。”最终，她觉得自己别无选择，只能再写一本书 —— 在这本书里，她会努力将自己所学的一切浓缩提炼，为每一个普通人带来帮助)”推知，作者在第三段引用那些问题的目的是为了展示伊斯特霍普写作的动力。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们，一些看似微小的事 —— 比如生病时脱发、或是有人离世后因情绪波动暴饮暴食 —— 其实都值得关注。她鼓励人们铭记灾害发生时的种种经历，而非选择遗忘，因为这类事件会留下深远持久的影响)”可知，在应对灾难方面伊斯特霍普提醒人们关注细微的痛苦。故选D。 C Facing intense competition for foods, sea otters (海獭) survive with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them break open tougher prey (猎物) that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat. That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters. The findings reveal how this may increase their chances of survival in an uncertain world. Sea otters spend their days looking around for food in kelp (海草) forests. They dive to the bottom to grab tasty food, plus sometimes rocks that they plan to use as tools. They bring these to the surface and float on their backs as they get to work on opening and eating their snacks. “Their preferred food is urchins (海胆),” says biologist Chris Law, who notes that urchins are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But there are areas over-abundance of urchins, where urchins have eaten all the kelp. Since the kelp is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and provide little nutritional value for otters. That’s a matter of life-and-death to otters, so they aren’t interested in consuming them. “So that means otters have to eat alternative foods,” says Law. “Many of them are those super hard prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into.” Law and some co-workers analyzed data on 196 otters in California. It turns out that frequent tool users were able to eat harder and larger prey. This was particularly important for female otters, since they’re smaller than males and aren’t able to bite down with as much force. “They typically wouldn’t be able to break into harder prey,” says Law. “But they use tools more than males, so they’re able to gain access to these novel sources of food items.” Besides, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. The researchers found that tool users had less dental damage from biting hard food items. 8. What can we infer about kelp and urchins? A. Urchins survive kelp. B. Urchins destroy kelp forests. C. Kelp and urchins coexist. D. Kelp restricts urchins’ growth. 9. Why are urchins abandoned by sea otters? A. Urchins offer little nutrition. B. Otters find novel food items. C. Urchins are hard to break apart. D. Otters are tired of eating urchins. 10. What can we know about male otters? A. They prefer to consume soft food. B. They make less use of tools for food. C. Their food chain has been broken. D. Their teeth are easier to get damaged. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Sea Otters’ Favorite Food: Urchins in Kelp Forests. B. The Relationship Between Sea Otters’ Diet and Kelp Forests. C. Differences in Tool Use Between Male and Female Sea Otters. D. Tool Use: A Key to Sea Otters’ Survival in Competition for Food. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海獭在食物竞争中借工具生存及相关生存策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But there are areas over-abundance of urchins, where urchins have eaten all the kelp. (但有些地区海胆数量过多，海胆吃掉了所有的海草)”可知，海胆会破坏海草森林。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Since the kelp is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and provide little nutritional value for otters. That’s a matter of life-and-death to otters, so they aren’t interested in consuming them.(然而，由于海带已经消失，这些海胆不再有充足的食物来源，也就无法为海獭提供多少营养价值。这对海獭来说是关乎生死的问题，所以它们根本无意食用这些海胆)”可知，海獭之所以会抛弃海胆，是因为海胆提供的营养很少。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But they use tools more than males, so they’re able to gain access to these novel sources of food items.(但它们比雄性更喜欢使用工具，所以它们能够获得这些新的食物来源。)”可知，雌性海獭比雄性海獭更多地使用工具来获取食物，即雄性海獭较少使用工具获取食物。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Facing intense competition for foods, sea otters (海獭) survive with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them break open tougher prey (猎物) that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat.(由于食物资源的竞争异常激烈，海獭不得不借助工具来生存——比如石头，甚至还有玻璃瓶——这些工具帮助它们能够击碎更坚硬的猎物，否则它们就无法食用这些猎物)”以及文章开篇点明海獭在食物竞争激烈的情况下借助工具生存，接着阐述了海獭因食物变化不得不食用难获取的食物，而使用工具对它们获取食物、生存以及保护牙齿都有重要作用。故D选项“工具使用：海獭在食物竞争中生存的关键”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 D There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites. America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns. “It’s crossed my mind,” Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact. “Unfortunately, it’s one of those things like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s like we have to meet our basic needs before we can be concerned about the bigger picture.” In 2022, researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run. While some might worry about more waste and carbon foot print that meal kits cause, a 2019 study conducted by Shelie Miller from the University of Michigan found that, comparatively, meal kits could be one of the best options for lower greenhouse gas emissions. The meal kits “did have more packaging overall and more impact associated with that packaging,” Miller says. “But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.” On average, the greenhouse gas emissions for a meal made with ingredients purchased at a grocery store are 33% higher than a comparable prepackaged kit, the study found. 12. Why does the author mention Mr. du Plessis’ kitchen? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To stress a social problem. C. To call on healthy diets. D. To introduce the topic. 13. What concern comes along with the rise of food delivery? A. Poor goods quality. B. Environmental impact. C. Commercial disorder. D. Jammed transportation. 14. What does the underlined word “clustered” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Grouped together. B. Separated individually. C. Delivered randomly. D. Packed tightly. 15. What does Miller’s research indicate? A. Meal kits are delicately packaged. B. Meal kits help with cooking skills. C. Meal kits are efficient in cooking. D. Meal kits comparatively waste less. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国在线食品杂货销售和外卖兴起的现象，同时指出这一趋势引发的环境影响担忧。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites.(杜普莱西夫妇厨房的冰箱上有一块白板，他们用它来计划晚餐。但由于有两个年幼的孩子、全职工作，而且最近的超市也在20分钟车程之外，有时决定吃什么会很有挑战性。为了减轻负担，杜普莱西先生经常使用食品杂货配送服务，而半成品净菜是他们的最爱)”和第二段中“America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout.(美国食品和药物管理局的数据显示，美国人对在线杂货销售的兴趣飙升了50%以上，从2019年的620亿美元飙升至2020年的960亿美元。现在，五分之一的消费者每月至少有一次食品杂货送货上门。与此同时，对餐馆外卖的需求急剧增加)”可推知，作者提到杜普莱西先生的厨房，是为了引出后文关于美国在线食品杂货销售和外卖兴起这一话题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns.(由于食品生产和运输在一个典型美国家庭每年导致气候变化的排放中所占比例高达三分之一，食品行业的这种趋势引发了一些担忧)”和第三段中“‘It’s crossed my mind,’ Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact.(“我想过这个问题，”杜普莱西先生谈到环境影响时说)可知，食品配送兴起带来的担忧是对环境的影响。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run.(这是因为使用配送车辆时，订单通常……，司机在一次行程中不仅会送你的食品杂货，还会给邻居送货)”中“not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run”可推知，使用车辆配送可以将很多订单集中在一起处理，在给你送货的同时也可以给邻居送货。由此推知，划线词clustered意思是订单被“集中在一起”，与“Grouped together(聚集在一起)”意思相近。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Miller的话“But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.(但我们真正看到的是，餐包对食物的利用更高效)”可知，米勒的研究表明餐包对食物的利用更高效，换句话说，相对而言餐包浪费更少。故选D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。 Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative.____16____ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. ____17____ Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. ____18____ If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength.____19____ Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. ____20____ It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨控制并非纯负面，分析其正负作用及产生控制欲的原因。 【16题详解】 上文“However, control isn’t purely negative. (然而，控制并不完全是负面的)”及下文“ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. (它在我们生活中的作用要复杂得多)”说明控制的作用很复杂，空处承上启下，选项F中的“doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes”与下文中的“far more complicated”相呼应。所以F选项“实际上，控制不能简单地归入“好”或“坏”的范畴。”，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 下文“These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. (这些都表明，控制可以成为秩序与进步的推动力)”说明控制是有积极作用的，空处引出下文，选项B中的“positive”与下文中的“a force for order and progress”相呼应。所以B选项“控制有明显的积极应用”，符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. (有些人会使用威胁，甚至暴力来强行推行自己的意志)”及下文“If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial - they can help address the harm. (如果你在他人的行为中识别出这种表现，或自己正经历这种情况，向可信赖的成年人寻求帮助至关重要——他们可以帮助应对由此造成的伤害)”说明控制欲失控，是一种虐待，经历的人应该向别人寻求帮助，空处承上启下，选项A中的“abuse”与下文中的“such behavior”相呼应。所以A选项“这可能是一种形式的虐待。”，符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. (当我们感到不确定，或对生活感到迷茫时，掌控每一个细节的需求就成了应对情绪的一种方式。久而久之，这会形成一个不断强化的负面循环)”说明我们不能放任这种负面情绪不管，选项G中的“it”与上文中的“the need to manage every little thing”相呼应。所以G选项“如果不加以控制，它可能会破坏人际关系并引发压力”，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. (生活中的变化常常会激起控制的需求。身体或情绪上的变化、家庭冲突，或失去所爱之人，都会引发无力感。像开始上新学校或搬到不同城市这样的转变，也会扰乱我们的稳定感)”及下文“It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. (这是对生活不可预测性的一种自然反应)”说明生活中的变化常常会让控制的需求增多，空处承上启下，选项E中的“In such moments”与上文中的“Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one”及“Transitions”相呼应。所以E选项“在这样的时刻，重新掌控的需求会变得强烈”，符合语境。故选E。 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。 Larry was a truck driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly.

She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Severe and forbidding. B. Competent and cautious. C. Friendly and energetic. D. Cheerful and approachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Resilience matters most. B. Forgetting aids recovery. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. C Facing intense competition for foods, sea otters (海獭) survive with the help of tools — like rocks and even glass bottles — that let them break open tougher prey (猎物) that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to eat. That’s according to a new study of sea otters in Monterey Bay, California, which took a look at the tool use of individual otters. The findings reveal how this may increase their chances of survival in an uncertain world. Sea otters spend their days looking around for food in kelp (海草) forests. They dive to the bottom to grab tasty food, plus sometimes rocks that they plan to use as tools. They bring these to the surface and float on their backs as they get to work on opening and eating their snacks. “Their preferred food is urchins (海胆),” says biologist Chris Law, who notes that urchins are relatively easy for otters to break apart. But there are areas over-abundance of urchins, where urchins have eaten all the kelp. Since the kelp is gone, however, these urchins no longer have a good food supply and provide little nutritional value for otters. That’s a matter of life-and-death to otters, so they aren’t interested in consuming them. “So that means otters have to eat alternative foods,” says Law. “Many of them are those super hard prey items that really require some kind of external force to break into.” Law and some co-workers analyzed data on 196 otters in California. It turns out that frequent tool users were able to eat harder and larger prey. This was particularly important for female otters, since they’re smaller than males and aren’t able to bite down with as much force. “They typically wouldn’t be able to break into harder prey,” says Law. “But they use tools more than males, so they’re able to gain access to these novel sources of food items.” Besides, using tools protected the otters’ teeth. The researchers found that tool users had less dental damage from biting hard food items. 8. What can we infer about kelp and urchins? A. Urchins survive kelp. B. Urchins destroy kelp forests. C. Kelp and urchins coexist. D. Kelp restricts urchins’ growth. 9. Why are urchins abandoned by sea otters? A. Urchins offer little nutrition. B. Otters find novel food items. C. Urchins are hard to break apart. D. Otters are tired of eating urchins. 10. What can we know about male otters? A. They prefer to consume soft food. B. They make less use of tools for food. C. Their food chain has been broken. D. Their teeth are easier to get damaged. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Sea Otters’ Favorite Food: Urchins in Kelp Forests. B. The Relationship Between Sea Otters’ Diet and Kelp Forests. C. Differences in Tool Use Between Male and Female Sea Otters. D. Tool Use: A Key to Sea Otters’ Survival in Competition for Food. D There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites. America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns. “It’s crossed my mind,” Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact. “Unfortunately, it’s one of those things like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s like we have to meet our basic needs before we can be concerned about the bigger picture.” In 2022, researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run. While some might worry about more waste and carbon foot print that meal kits cause, a 2019 study conducted by Shelie Miller from the University of Michigan found that, comparatively, meal kits could be one of the best options for lower greenhouse gas emissions. The meal kits “did have more packaging overall and more impact associated with that packaging,” Miller says. “But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.” On average, the greenhouse gas emissions for a meal made with ingredients purchased at a grocery store are 33% higher than a comparable prepackaged kit, the study found. 12. Why does the author mention Mr. du Plessis’ kitchen? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To stress a social problem. C. To call on healthy diets. D. To introduce the topic. 13 What concern comes along with the rise of food delivery? A. Poor goods quality. B. Environmental impact. C. Commercial disorder. D. Jammed transportation. 14.

Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative.____16____ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. ____17____ Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. ____18____ If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength.____19____ Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. ____20____ It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 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。 Larry was a truck driver, but his lifelong dream was to fly.
