Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices. The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the“CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company's own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese“CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the“CCC”mark cannot be sold in China. Other marks are also important. The French“FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The“RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守).Codes like“SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market. Below is a product label: 21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe? A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHs. D. CE. 22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product? A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking. 23. What can be learned about this product according to the label? A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone. C. Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China. 英语试题 第4 页(共12页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 B On my fiftieth birthday, surrounded by celebration, I looked in the mirror and felt a letdown. Despite a successful career and family, something was missing. I feared how I would be remembered would be as“unfinished business”. The next decade saw me chasing new identities—— entrepreneur, sports team owner——but I felt I was playing a role, becoming a what rather than a who. I constantly asked myself,‘What are you running from?” Turning sixty changed everything. Family health issues and selling my companies jolted me off my hamster wheel. With more time to reflect, I realized I was a work in progress. Irevisited that question of my life meaning. My new hope was to be remembered for“a life well lived.” To achieve that, I started searching for simple joys. I began daily meditation, finding peace and reflection. This spiritual practice slowed my heart rate and my life, clarifying what truly matters. My next step was a diner across the street. I, a very private person, forced myself to sit at the counter among strangers. Initially uncomfortable, I learned to listen and engage without agenda. I found unexpected companionship and freedom, finally being just me. People always said I needed a hobby. I had two, but had turned them into work. I read newspapers only for business insights, skipping interesting articles. I rushed through caring for my chickens and pigeons. I rediscovered the joy in both by doing them for pure pleasure, not purpose. Taking time for myself has made me happier, more relaxed, and a better family man.I even started a charitable foundation. Making time for me has benefited others too. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, I always had the power. It just took me sixty years to learn there is no shame in taking time for me. 24. What did the author think of himself when pursuing various roles? A. A man who chased greater wealth. B. A person who became his job titles. C. A man who tried to escape mistakes. D. A person who valued internal recognition. 25. The phrase“jolted me off my hamster wheel” suggests the author . A. started a new hobby B. stopped his busy life C. engaged in more exercise D. decided to make more money 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 26. How did the author change the way he enjoyed hobbies? A. He replaced his old hobbies with new ones. B. He used his hobbies to support his business. C. He began doing them simply for enjoyment. D. He asked his family to join him in his hobbies. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Family companionship outweighs professional achievement. B. Taking time for oneself leads to personal fulfillment. C. You should think twice before making a decision. D. Fortune and fame are equally important in life. C When were the“good old days”? Podcaster Jason Feifer devoted an episode to this question in his program, noting many idealize the 1950s. Yet historians confirm that decade was heavy with issues: uncontrolled individualism, racial and class tensions, and nuclear fears. Meanwhile, people in the 1950s thought the good old days were to be found in the1920s, when experts warned that rising divorce rates then threatened the family. However,those in the 1920s romanticized the Victorian era, when families were strong and children respected their elders. This kind of nostalgia is sometimes useful —— it gives us a sense of stability and predictability —— and can also be a source of strength in difficult times. But, why are human beings always so nostalgic for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them? One explanation is that we survived the dangers of the past, so they seem smaller now. In contrast, we can never be certain that we will solve the problems facing us today. Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often coloured by personal nostalgia. When people identify the“good old days”, they frequently fall on the time of their youth, for research shows that we create more memories during adolescence and early adulthood than in any other life period.When we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. While some things were genuinely better in the past, our instinctive nostalgia can lead to dangerous consequences. Longing for the past and fearing the future can be a barrier to what drives progress. As inventor William Petty observed,“When a new invention is first put forward, in the beginning every man objects... not one of a hundred (inventor) outlives this torture.” This was true for vaccinations (疫苗) and railroads, which all met strong resistance,just as anxieties now surround innovations like AI. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Not all fears are unfounded; new technologies can cause accidents and disrupt societies.However , the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce their risks is through trial and error. The future will not be perfect, but neither were the good old days. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. People value family relationships. B. People are ignorant of historic facts. C. People feel bored with their current life. D. People tend to remember the past as perfect. 29. Why do“good old days” happen to be the time of people's youth? A. It is colored by historical context. B. We face less problems during youth. C. It is the most memory-rich stage of life. D. People have a better memory when young. 30. Why does the author quote William Petty's words? A. To prove that fears about innovations are unfounded. B. To show that opposition to inventions repeats. C. To stress that inventors often suffer criticism. D. To imply that nostalgia drives development. 31. What is the author's attitude to nostalgia for“good old days”? A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Dismissive. D. Appreciative. D Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you' re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology. The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant's chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体)present on nociceptors —— the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it's been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger? The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system. Initially,the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a form of“benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger—— now under our command—— becomes an internal part of the pleasure. Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one's TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain's predictive system becomes more accurate. So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat- soluble,water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions—— the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away. 32. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling? A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger. C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body's temperature. 33. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food? A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes. C. Exploring the Antarctic. D. Watching a horror film. 34. What does building a high spice tolerance involve? A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation. C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Capsaicin's Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover's Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain C. The Body's Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon. The 21- year- old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor. 36 “He literally told me to go touch grass.” she recalls. MacMahon was skeptical at first, but she 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 was surprised to discover how well —— and quickly —— it worked. MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine: doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients. Scott Kaiser, is one of these doctors. Here are some common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients' health. 37 Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. To take it to the next level, head to a nature preserve, forest, botanical garden, mountain or lake and engage in“forest bathing”. Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking. 38 And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits. Dr. Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable.“It's about finding what works for each person. For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean,” says Dr. Kaiser.“ 39 Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.” Dr. Kaiser puts it like this: When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you can't fit one more thing in, that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription. You' ll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life. 40 A. It's worth it. B. The options are almost limitless. C. Sensory walks are an easy way to get started. D. Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging. E. But the recommended treatment was much of a surprise. F. Yours might be watching the sunset from your backyard. G. To begin, integrate gentle physical activities into your routine. 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，从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We headed down a yellow dirt track, but there was no sign of what Claire had recommended —— the secret beach. For the last fifteen minutes, only a lone goat and a few dancing swallows(燕子) 41 us before we reached a dead end. I checked my phone,only to find that Google Maps showed nothing. We were in a completely 42 place. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Sabrina recalled that Claire had 43 a right turn, so we 44 along the dusty yellow path, and spotted a narrow path covered with colorful wildflowers. The swallows wheeled above us, bees hummed around our ankles, and the 45 of reaching the dead end slowly faded. No longer upset about being lost, I closed my eyes for a moment, letting a brief moment of 46 settle over me. Then, Sabrina shouted with joy—— she'd found the 47 beach. The view of the greenish-blue water was amazing. We sat quietly until a couple wandered in. They looked 48 , and then smiled. “So you know this beach too?” We nodded, raising our hands as if to promise the secret was 49 with us. On the way back, the sunlight shifted, and the path felt strange, as if the hillside had already 50 its treasure. The goat had disappeared, and the swallows were 51 , leaving only the rustle of wildflowers. That silence didn't feel empty, and the memories about the beach would 52 in our minds— not just because of its beauty, but the simple 53 of finding it. No maps or social media posts led us there. Everything had to be found on our own. When we finally 54 the main road that took us here, Sabrina smiled.“The best things in life cannot be 55 —— it had to be experienced.” 41.

It was the first time she had decided to go for a run before the sun was up, and the cold air was already making her doubt her choice. On such a cold day, no one would come out for a run like me, Emily thought to herself as she ran. But the rustling sound from afar still caught Emily's interest, and she wanted to see who her other companion was. Yet as she ran, the morning's cold wind turned her hands numb, and her cotton coat proved useless against the biting cold. “Well, I'd better head back early,” Emily started to turn around. Just then, a woman called out to her. “Hey, young lady, watch your step！” Shocked, Emily realized she had stepped onto a pile of leaves, making the carefully gathered pile messy. “Oh... sorry！ I didn't mean to...” Emily was ready for a scolding (指责), but instead, the woman holding a broom looked at her with kind eyes. “It's alright, but you should be careful when running alone.” Blushing, Emily nodded and gazed at the wrinkled woman whose hands looked red from the cold. “Do you get up this early for work?” Emily's heart ached as she looked at the woman.She had expected her to complain or express some bitterness, but instead, the woman wrapped in a scarf, broom in hand, smiled and said proudly. “Yes. Getting the streets cleaned early means everyone can start their day with a nicer sight, don't you think?” Seeing the energy and kindness in the woman's eyes, a warmth and deep respect welled up inside Emily. She looked down the street again and noticed a neat pile of leaves at each corner. It was this woman's work —— the clean street was all thanks to her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的对应位置作答。 “Anything I can do for her?” Emily thought to herself.
