D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了俄亥俄州消防局长办公室举办的小学生消防安全海报比赛的相关信息，包括比赛目的、规则、流程等。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Engaging people in fire safety and prevention from an early age is crucial, so the State Fire Marshal’s Office is inviting primary school students across Ohio to participate in its Fire Safety Poster Contest.(从小就让人们参与消防安全和预防至关重要，因此俄亥俄州消防局长办公室邀请俄亥俄州各地的小学生参加其消防安全海报比赛。)”可知，俄亥俄州消防局长办公室邀请小学生参加消防安全海报比赛是因为从小让人们参与消防安全和预防至关重要，由此可以推测出，鼓励小学生参加比赛是为了提高他们的消防安全和预防意识。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Contest rules部分中“All artwork must be original. Computer-generated images and clippings from magazines and newspapers will not be accepted.(所有艺术作品必须是原创的。不接受计算机生成的图像和杂志、报纸上的剪报。)”可知，不接受计算机生成的图像，由此可知，使用人工智能工具生成图像可能会导致取消资格。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Contest procedures部分中“Then each of the local departments must select two winning posters — one from each grade category (grades 1-3 and 4-6) and submit them to the State Fire Marshal's Office by November 15. A committee will review all the submitted posters and select six winners in each grade category. Winning entries will be announced next spring.(然后，每个地方部门必须从每个年级类别（1-3年级和4-6年级）中选出两张获奖海报，并在11月15日前提交给州消防局长办公室。委员会将审查所有提交的海报，并在每个年级类别中选出六名获奖者。获奖作品将于明年春天公布。)”可知，每个地方部门必须从每个年级类别（1-3年级和4-6年级）中选出两张获奖海报，然后委员会将在每个年级类别中选出六名获奖者，所以明年春天将宣布12个获奖作品。故选D项。 B “The mountains are calling and I must go” - the famous quote is from John Muir (1838-1914), who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe.” He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!” He is known as the Father of American National Parks. Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.” So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister: September 3rd, 1873 Yosemite Valley Dear sister Sarah, I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible. After my icy experiences, it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate. I will soon be off again, determined to use all the season in carrying through my work - will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains, and in winter work in Oakland with my pen. Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地). I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon. Farewell, with love everlasting. Yours, John 4. What can we learn from John Muir’s self-description in paragraph 1? A. He longed to expand his own career. B. He wanted to find his real advantage. C. He enjoyed his involvement in nature. D. He valued his identity as a poet most. 5. What did Ken Burns mainly talk about? A. Muir’s political influence. B. Muir’s historic significance. C. A documentary film on Muir. D. The social circle around Muir. 6. How did Muir feel when writing the first paragraph of his letter? A. Excited but lonely. B. Worn but content. C. Relieved but regretful. D. Defeated but hopeful. 7 Why must John Muir go into mountains again? A. To go on with his mountain studies. B. To seek freedom from social connection. C. To attend an appointment in Oakland. D. To experience the hardship of wilderness. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍美国作家John Muir及其一句名言和出处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““The mountains are calling and I must go” - the famous quote is from John Muir (1838-1914), who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe.” He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!” He is known as the Father of American National Parks. (“山在召唤我，我必须走了”——这句名言出自John Muir（1838-1914），他被称为“荒野诗人”和“宇宙公民”。他曾开玩笑地称自己为“诗人、地质学家、植物学家、鸟类学家、博物学家等等等等！”他被称为美国国家公园之父)”可知他曾开玩笑地称自己为“诗人、地质学家、植物学家、鸟类学家、博物学家等等等等！”他被称为美国国家公园之父，说明他喜欢亲近大自然。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson - people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.” (著名纪录片导演肯·伯恩斯（Ken Burns）最近说：“当我们了解他时……他是美国最高尚的人之一；我说的是亚伯拉罕·林肯、马丁·路德·金和托马斯·杰斐逊的水平，他们对我们是谁产生了革命性的影响。”)”可知Ken Burns认为John Muir是亚伯拉罕·林肯、马丁·路德·金和托马斯·杰斐逊的水平的人，对我们有革命性的影响，也就是John Muir的历史意义，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据信中的第一段“I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. (我刚刚结束了最长的、最艰难的山区旅行，已经走了五个多星期了。我累，但休息很好；困，但睡的又沉又快；饿，但吃得多)可推断出John Muir写第一段时的感受是疲惫但却很满足，故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据信中的第三段“Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地). (虽然很慢，但总有一天我会把我的山地研究成果以一种形式呈现出来，供你们所有人阅读和评判。大山在召唤我，我必须走了，我要在我还能工作的时候继续工作，不断地学习)”可推断John Muir又要去山里是继续他的山地研究，故选A。 C If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 8. What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 9. What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 10. Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C. Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books D. Innovating Reading: The Bookloop Initiative 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国一个名为Bookloop的在线图书回购项目。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part.(参加活动的读者必须卖出至少价值5英镑的书)”可知，读者参与Bookloop的要求是出售价值5英镑或以上的旧书。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund.(他们说：“我们很高兴看到这个项目，它感觉是经过深思熟虑的，是重新利用书籍、帮助维持书店和新书购买的好方法。”作者也将从该计划中受益，因为这些二手书销售的版税将通过共享作者基金重新分配)”可知，Bookbag认为Bookloop项目是一个双赢的举措，既重新利用了书籍，又帮助维持了书店的运营和促进了新书的购买。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers.(然而，并不是所有人都对Bookloop的推出持积极态度。布里克斯顿Bookmongers的老板Patrick Kelly等一些二手书商担心，到底有多少书会卖给读者)”可推知，文章提到Patrick Kelly是为了呈现一个与Bookloop项目积极评价相对比的观点，即有人对二手书的销售数量表示担忧。故选C。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books.(现在英国有了一个完美的解决方案：Bookloop。这是一个与现有书商合作的在线回购项目，读者可以用他们已经读过的书换取信用或更多的二手书)”可知，文章主要介绍了英国的一个在线二手书回购项目Bookloop，该项目旨在通过给书籍第二次生命来减少浪费，并建立一个重视可持续性和支持书店的读者社区，C选项“Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books(Bookloop：二手书的第二次生命)”能很好地概括文章主要内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 D The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13. Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. “We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, “While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated. Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different. 12. According to paragraph 1, what does the study tell us? A. Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet. B. Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness. C. Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences. D. Children become more particular about food with age. 13. What did Dr Zeynep Nas suggest? A. Parents should be blamed for children’s food fussiness. B. Food fussiness is mainly caused by genetic factors. C. Children should be forced to eat various foods. D. Parents should avoid eating with their children. 14. According to Dr Clare Llewellyn, which of the following is important for young children’s eating habits? A. Having meals with family. B. Making more friends. C. Eating a variety of foods. D. Exercising regularly. 15. What is the limitation of the study? A. It only focused on children in England and Wales. B. It didn’t consider the influence of environment. C. It had a small number of participants at age 7. D. It didn’t distinguish between different genders. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项关于孩子挑食的研究，介绍了研究的发现以及局限性等情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. (研究小组发现，在这段时间里，食物挑剔的平均水平相对稳定，在7岁左右达到顶峰，之后略有下降。)”可知，这项研究指出7岁的孩子对食物的挑剔程度最高。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” (“我们希望，挑食在很大程度上是天生的这一发现，可以帮助减轻父母的指责。这种行为不是父母教育的结果。”)”可知，泽内普·纳斯博士指出挑食主要是由遗传因素引起的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. (这表明，帮助孩子吃更广泛的食物的干预措施，比如定期让孩子反复接触同样的食物，并提供各种水果和蔬菜，可能在很小的时候就最有效)”可知，根据克莱尔·卢埃林博士的说法，吃各种各样的食物对幼儿的饮食习惯很重要。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. (在研究的局限性中，研究人员指出，与其他时间点相比，7岁时的参与者较少，而且与英格兰和威尔士的普通人口相比，研究样本中有很大比例的英国白人家庭具有较高的社会经济背景。)”可知，本研究的局限性是只有一小部分7岁的参与者。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to overcome travel anxiety Stress and anxiety around documents and procedures of travel is common.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A fly er for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers… By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down — to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. I paused my drawing, the pencil hovering above the paper. Roots don’t grow down, but out... As I continued sketching the pine tree’s needles on the paper, Mr. Weston’s comment lingered in my mind. It was as if he was giving me a piece of advice without directly speaking about the art camp. 注意： 1.续写词数应为100左右； 2.续写部分为一段，请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Perhaps I could learn something valuable from the pine tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Perhaps I could learn something valuable from the pine tree. Just like the tree needs to spread its roots to grow tall, I had to spread my own roots outward, toward the challenge and the sunlight, so that I can truly grow. Encouraged by Mr. Weston’ s words, I decided to reassess my approach to life and started branching out. The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. Once I was there, I discovered that I didn’t have to be like Emily. Each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention that I had never experienced before. Delightedly, I began to make friends with other kids. It was here that I truly flourished, drawing my own way to reach out for a whole new world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者因艺术营传单既兴奋又失望，因不擅长交友而想放弃。画松树时，从韦斯顿先生处得知松树扎根向外生长的习性，他的话让作者若有所思。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由续写句首内容“也许我可以从松树身上学到一些有价值的东西。”可知，本段可以描写作者从松树身上获得启示，在韦斯顿先生的鼓励下付诸行动报名参加夏令营，结交了新朋友，最终在全新的环境中茁壮成长，用属于自己的方式探索并拥抱一个崭新的世界。 2.续写线索：学习松树——报名参加夏令营——获得认同——结交朋友——用自己的方式拥抱新世界 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 扎根拓展：spread roots/expand roots outward ② 重新审视：reassess/re-examine/review ③ 报名参加：sign up for/register for/enroll in 情绪类 ① 受鼓舞的：encouraged/inspired/heartened ② 高兴地：delightedly/gladly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention that I had never experienced before.

The contest is held annually to engage young minds, emphasizing various issues related to fire safety education. Contest rules ·Posters must include a fire prevention theme. ·Posters must display positive behavior statements of what students can do to prevent a fire at home. ·Posters must only be on 8. 5 × 11-inch paper. ·Any colors may be used; however, a white or light-colored background is preferred. ·Crayons, markers, pencils and similar tools can be used. ·All artwork must be original.

Then each of the local departments must select two winning posters — one from each grade category (grades 1-3 and 4-6) and submit them to the State Fire Marshal's Office by November 15.

B “The mountains are calling and I must go” - the famous quote is from John Muir (1838-1914), who is described as “the wilderness poet” and “the citizen of the universe.” He once jokingly referred to himself as a “poet-geologist-botanist and ornithologist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!” He is known as the Father of American National Parks. Famed documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we got to know him… he was among the highest individuals in America; I’m talking about the level of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Jefferson — people who have had a transformational effect on who we are.” So where is the quote from? Well, John Muir was a productive writer. Whether he was writing poetry or simply letters to his family, John Muir was always putting pen to paper. The quote is from within one of his many letters written to his sister: September 3rd, 1873 Yosemite Valley Dear sister Sarah, I have just returned from the longest and hardest trip I have ever made in the mountains, having been gone over five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mountains without blankets and with little to eat on account of its being so inaccessible. After my icy experiences, it seems strange to be down here in so warm and flowery a climate. I will soon be off again, determined to use all the season in carrying through my work - will go next to Kings River a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe and surrounding mountains, and in winter work in Oakland with my pen. Though slow, someday I will have the results of my mountain studies in a form in which you all will be able to read and judge them. The mountains are calling and I must go, and I will work on while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地). I will write again when I return from Kings River Canyon. Farewell, with love everlasting. Yours, John 4. What can we learn from John Muir’s self-description in paragraph 1? A. He longed to expand his own career. B. He wanted to find his real advantage. C. He enjoyed his involvement in nature. D. He valued his identity as a poet most. 5. What did Ken Burns mainly talk about? A. Muir’s political influence. B. Muir’s historic significance. C.

Relieved but regretful. D. Defeated but hopeful. 7. Why must John Muir go into mountains again? A. To go on with his mountain studies. B. To seek freedom from social connection. C. To attend an appointment in Oakland. D. To experience the hardship of wilderness. C If you are an enthusiastic reader, you may not have enough room to store all the books you read. And the cost of buying books keeps rising. Now there is a perfect solution in the UK: Bookloop. It is an online buy-back project in partnership with existing booksellers, where readers can trade books they have already read for credit or more pre-owned books. Readers can scan (扫描) and upload their books to an online valuation system, and then drop them off at a collection point or have them picked up from their own home, in exchange for credit to be used on other books. Readers must sell at least £5 worth of books to take part. Eric Gagnaire, co-founder of Bookloop, said, “By giving books a second life, we are not only reducing waste but also building a community of readers who value sustainability and support bookshops.” Bookbag, a bookseller that has joined the program, describes it as “a social space” that gathers a global range of fiction and non-fiction writing. “We’re glad to see this program, which feels well-thought-through and a great way of repurposing books and helping sustain bookshops and new book purchase,” they said. Authors will also benefit from the program, as royalties from these secondhand book sales will be redistributed through a shared author fund. Reception to the launch of Bookloop hasn’t been universally positive, however. Some secondhand booksellers like Patrick Kelly, owner of Bookmongers in Brixton, raise concerns about how many books will actually be sold on to readers. Kelly argued that most secondhand books should be recycled. “They are either no longer relevant, overly produced, or are left in bad condition,” he said. In response, Bookloop stated that only 2% of collected books end up not being resold-most of the unsold books are donated to local charities, with less than 0.5% recycled. “Getting pre-owned books to new readers while benefiting both bookshops and authors feels extremely positive,” said Gagnaire. “It’s a really sustainable way of getting books into the hands of more people, without cost being a barrier.” 8. What is a requirement for readers to participate in Bookloop? A. Trading their credit for new books. B. Selling used books worth £5 or more. C. Dropping off their books at a local library. D. Uploading personal information to the system. 9. What does Bookbag think of Bookloop? A. It is a win-win initiative. B. It boosts interest in reading. C. It is a well-planned book fair. D. It encourages authors to write. 10. Why is Patrick Kelly mentioned? A. To clarify a misunderstanding. B. To suggest a brand-new resolution. C. To present a contrasting viewpoint. D. To highlight an unusual phenomenon. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Secondhand Book Trading B. Reducing Waste, Building a Reputation C. Bookloop: A Second Life for Used Books D Innovating Reading: The Bookloop Initiative D The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13. Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. “We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, “While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated. Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different. 12. According to paragraph 1, what does the study tell us? A. Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet. B. Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness. C. Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences. D. Children become more particular about food with age. 13. What did Dr Zeynep Nas suggest? A. Parents should be blamed for children’s food fussiness. B. Food fussiness is mainly caused by genetic factors. C. Children should be forced to eat various foods. D. Parents should avoid eating with their children. 14. According to Dr Clare Llewellyn, which of the following is important for young children’s eating habits? A. Having meals with family. B. Making more friends. C. Eating a variety of foods. D. Exercising regularly. 15. What is the limitation of the study? A. It only focused on children in England and Wales. B. It didn’t consider the influence of environment. C. It had a small number of participants at age 7. D. It didn’t distinguish between different genders. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to overcome travel anxiety Stress and anxiety around documents and procedures of travel is common.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A fly er for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?” Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers… By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down — to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.” With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. I paused my drawing, the pencil hovering above the paper. Roots don’t grow down, but out... As I continued sketching the pine tree’s needles on the paper, Mr. Weston’s comment lingered in my mind. It was as if he was giving me a piece of advice without directly speaking about the art camp. 注意： 1.续写词数应为100左右； 2.续写部分为一段，请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Perhaps I could learn something valuable from the pine tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
