A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love cracking sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack (裂缝) in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every family was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
4. What did the writer become aware of?

D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
6. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________.
A. negative B. uncertain C. doubtful D. acceptable
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.

In the digital era, where social media floods with ceaseless sharing, 26-year-old illustrator Lina from Hangzhou stands as a striking example. She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits. Lina’s attitude represents a growing trend among today’s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over intensive emotional bonds in the virtual world.
Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of seeking active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of feedback. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow virtual ties. This shift comes from their desire to escape overwhelming pressure from empty digital interactions.
While critics dismiss light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by embracing this approach, young people regain control over their online space — sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others’ expectations. Even social platforms have evolved to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, acknowledging the widespread acceptance of light socializing.
In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement. This trend shows the younger generation’s maturity in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions.
8. What does Lina do on social media?
A. She only posts artworks.
B. She shares life but skips deep chats.
C. She never replies to comments.
D. She focuses on building deep online bonds.
9. According to Min Li, what has social media become for young people now?
A. A center for deep relationships.
B. A platform for personal display.
C. A tool to seek frequent interactions.
D. A space to reduce pressure by virtual ties.
10. What can we infer about “light socializing”?
A. It encourages safe online engagement.
B. It makes young people emotionally cold.
C. It relies mainly on platforms’ silent modes.
D. It abandons social bonds to protect mental health.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Keep Silent Mode On
B. Keep the Digital Distance
C. Social Media: “Self-showcase” Platform
D. Emotional Coldness: Online Life’s Secret

Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
12. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point.
B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background.
D. To present a common partial view.
13. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value.
B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D. Educational significance and cultural value.
14. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Addresses. B. Matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country.
B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.

One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly.

____19____
If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills.
Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
A. Be patient.
B. Get the audience involved.
C. The best messages are often simple.

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。
The Thompson house was always noisy before school. Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell.
“Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get.
As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested.
After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mia’s heart sank.

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love cracking sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack (裂缝) in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.

It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture.

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以26岁的杭州插画师Lina为例,阐述了在数字时代,年轻人在社交媒体上呈现出“轻社交”的趋势,即注重自我表达而非深度情感联系,这种趋势反映了年轻人对心理健康的守护,是一种有前瞻性和深思熟虑的现代社交互动方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits.(她经常在Instagram上发布艺术作品和旅行照片,但很少回复评论或参与私人对话。“我喜欢分享我生活中的片段,但与陌生人建立深厚的联系在情感上让人筋疲力尽,”她承认)”可知,Lina在社交媒体上分享生活,但避免深度聊天。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation(社会学家李敏观察到,社交媒体曾经是发展关系的中心,现在已经变成了年轻一代的“自我展示”平台)”可知,根据李敏的说法,社交媒体现在已经成为年轻人个人展示的平台。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement.(在一个被数字联系紧密束缚的世界里,轻社交在自我表达和隐私保护之间取得了微妙的平衡。这不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求)”可知,轻社交不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求。由此推知,“轻社交”鼓励安全的在线参与。故选A项。

Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
12. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point.
B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background.
D. To present a common partial view.
13. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value.
B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D. Educational significance and cultural value.
14. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Addresses. B. Matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country.
B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了泥炭地从过去被旅行者视为威胁的存在,到Flow Country成为首个入选世界遗产的泥炭地,其认知发生的转变;通过对比英国湖区的入选依据,阐述了Flow Country的入选不仅源于其自然价值与气候益处,更体现了人类对泥炭地乃至自然本身认知的深刻变化。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段开篇提到“Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (长期以来,旅行者们一直害怕被泥炭地吞没。)”,随后引用William Gilpin 1772 年的描述“If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of (要是他脚一滑……可能就再也没人听说过他了。)”旨在生动呈现历史上人们对泥炭地广泛存在的恐惧与负面印象 —— 这种视泥炭地为“威胁”的认知实属片面。第二段紧随其后以but进行转折,指出“now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner (如今该生态系统的形象终于迎来转变)”,形成强烈对比。因此,该处引用的主要目的在于呈现一种曾经普遍存在的片面观念。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. (联合国教科文组织已将福洛地区认定为世界遗产地 —— 这是首个入选该名录的泥炭地 —— 因其具备独特的自然特征:这里栖息着种类极为丰富的动植物。人们还认识到,这些泥炭地并非人类的敌人,而是应对气候危机的重要伙伴。福洛地区的泥炭已形成 8000 年之久,期间一直在固存碳。)”可知,Flow Country入选世界遗产的原因有两点:一是其显著的自然价值,二是其气候益处。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss ( 苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials. (与湖区不同,福洛地区优先关注的并非绵羊,而是苔藓。这种理念契合了日益兴起的“承认自然权利”运动:该运动主张将自然界重新定义为不仅仅是原材料的集合体。)” 可知,Flow Country优先关注苔藓,即自然本身的理念,与“承认自然权利、不将自然仅视为原材料集合”的运动方向是一致的。“aligns with” 在此处意为“符合、匹配”,与“matches”含义相近。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以过去人们对泥炭地的恐惧引出话题,核心围绕Flow Country成为首个泥炭地世界遗产展开,通过对比湖区的文化导向入选依据,强调Flow Country的入选源于自然价值与气候意义,更体现了人类对泥炭地从“敌人”到“伙伴”的认知转变 —— 这意味着泥炭地终于获得了应有的重视。选项C“The long-overdue respect for peatlands (泥炭地迟来的尊重)”概括了文章核心。故选C。
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。
One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. ____16____ There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill.
Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively.
Keep your audience in mind.
Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. ____17____ This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information.
Don’t use ten words when one will do.
Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. ____18____ However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple.
____19____
If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills.
Consider the best method to deliver your message.
If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. ____20____
Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort.
A. Be patient.
B. Get the audience involved.
C. The best messages are often simple.
D. Speak directly to what matters to them.
E. You may be surprised by what your listeners offer.
F. It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.
G. As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。
【16题详解】
上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误,C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文,明确正确沟通方法,即不要“做得太多”,要避免复杂,追求简单,句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众的兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时,他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣,D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法,即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流,与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。
【18题详解】
下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而,他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者,你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折,演讲者自己熟悉内容,但听众是初次接触,同时,句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系,上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。
【19题详解】
下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练,你就会知道,没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法,或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中,B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容,适合作段首小标题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急,考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考,并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处,F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处,与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。

Our oceans, our responsibility
June 8th was named by the UN in 2009 as World Oceans Day...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Our oceans, our responsibility
June 8th was named by the UN in 2009 as World Oceans Day. When it comes to ocean, its pollution is becoming more and more serious. World Ocean Day, falling on June 8th, is aimed at raising awareness of ocean conservation.
Ocean plays a key role in our world. Not only does ocean offer us sufficient food, but also it maintains the balance of nature. Thus, it is imperative to protect ocean. First of all, what we can do is to place importance on our daily actions. For example, garbage can’t be thrown into ocean. What’s more, we can also hand out leaflets to call on more people to protect the ocean. The more people are involved, the better the ocean environment is.
All in all, it is high time that we devoted ourselves to protecting ocean. To protect ocean is to protect ourselves.

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。
The Thompson house was always noisy before school. Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell.
“Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace greatly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get.
As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested.
After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts.

【答案】范文
Mia’s heart sank. She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.
The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.”
