B Nowadays,people lay everything to heredity ()that is,we reccive our special talents from our ancestors.I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them. My mother's parents did not care in the least about insects.The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot.My illiterate grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright.My own parents did not inspire this love.My mother was illiterate;my father,slightly educated,was too busy for encouragement. Yet I began to observe as a baby.One day,standing on the grassland,I was fascinated by the sun.A question possessed me:did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes?I opened my mouth and closed my eyes:glory disappeared.I opened my eyes and shut my mouth:glory returned.I saw with my eyes!Oh,what a discovery!At home,my grandmother smiled;the others laughed. At nightfall,a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me.Who is making that noise?They spoke of a wolf,but I had to look.After a stubborn watch,I caught the singer-a grasshopper ()I now knew,from personal observation,that the grasshopper sings.I did not tell them my discovery,for fear of the same laughter Later,I went to school.The room served every purpose:school,kitchen, bedroom,even a chicken house and a piggery.Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing against our legs or by the hen and her chicks,or by the smells of cooking.But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself,fueled by the 4 country school's continuous offerings-from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails,catching frogs,and admiring beetles in the fields. Thus,in this chaos,the future observer taught himself. 24.What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story? A.The hardship of rural life. B.His natural passion for insects.

C A recent review of numerous studies reveals that childhood exposure to chemicals in common plastic household items poses significant and lasting health risks,extending well into adulthood.Published in The Lancet Child Adolescent Health,the findings highlight particular concern for three classes of chemicals: phthalates (making plastic flexible),bisphenols (providing rigidity),and PFAS (resisting heat and water). The research,which analyzed data from thousands of pregnant mothers,infants, and children,links these chemicals to a range of long-term health issues.These include heart disease,obesity,infertility,and asthma.Experts explain that these substances can derange hormone function and trigger body-wide inflammation( )Furthermore,early-life exposure is associated with neurodevelopmental problems like autism and ADHD,as well as IQ loss. These chemicals are widespread,found in food packaging,cosmetics,and even paper receipts.As plastics are used,heated,or washed,microplastic and nanoparticles are released and are taken in. The review also suggests practical solutions.Parents can reduce exposure by switching to glass or stainless-steel containers and avoiding microwaving or dishwashing plastic.Healthcare providers are encouraged to guide families toward safer choices. At a policy level,researchers call for stricter regulations,especially for nonessential plastics.This urgency is supported by the ongoing negotiations for the UN Global Plastics Treaty,which aims to establish legally binding limits on plastic production.According to Trasande,the findings in the article support the urgent need for a strong agreement to help protect not only the environment but human health as well. He notes that while the economic value of the plastics industry is commonly raised as a barrier to carrying out regulations,the resulting health care costs from exposure are enormous,with his research estimates reaching roughly $250 billion per year in the United States alone. However,the researchers clarify that their findings do not challenge the essential,life-saving uses of plastic in medical settings.The concern lies primarily with unnecessary use outside of healthcare. 28.The underlined word "derange"in the paragraph 2 most probably means A.disturb B.regulate C.ignore D.fulfill 29.According to the passage,which is NOT the measure to reduce plastic exposure? A.Making policies to limit nonessential plastics. B.Launching campaigns to recycle plastic bottles. C.Avoiding microwaving and dishwashing plastic D.Replacing plastic containers with glass or stainless steel. 30.What is Dr.Trasande's attitude towards plastics regulation? A.Objective. B.Supportive. C.Ambiguous. D.Dismissive. 31.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To call for a total ban on plastic production. B.To stress the essential role of plastics in medicine. C.To reveal risks of plastic exposure and urge actions. D.To assess the economic cost of plastic-related diseases. D New research led by Brian Meier,a professor of psychology,provides convincing evidence of humans'deep-rooted preference for products labeled as "natural",demonstrating how this bias significantly influences real-world 6 decision-making even when potential risks are involved. Prior studies have shown that the bias extends across various fields.However, many of them relied on self-reported preferences in hypothetical scenarios( )leaving a gap in our understanding of how the bias influences actual behavior. Therefore,Brian and his colleagues conducted three experiments to test participants' choices and performances in different contexts. The first experiment involved 174 college students who were led to believe they were testing a strength-enhancing drink described as either natural or synthetic )When asked to choose between the two options before repeating a grip strength test,an overwhelming 84%selected the natural-labeled drink,despitc both being identical water samples. In the second experiment,98 students were offered chocolate described as containing either natural or synthetic cocoa,with researchers introducing an element of risk by mentioning potential stomach discomfort.Remarkably,84%still chose the natural option,maintaining their preference even when facing possible adverse effects. The third experiment extended the research beyond laboratory scttings, approaching 200 passers-by on a street.Participants evaluated stickers described as using natural or synthetic ink,then selected one to keep.Results showed 66% preferred natural-labeled stickers,which they also rated as higher quality and more appealing than their synthetic ones. "The vast majority of subjects exhibited a clear behavioral preference that was influenced solely by the 'natural'label across all three experimental contexts," Meier stated.The research,which spanned diverse settings and product categories, revealed remarkably consistent results,strongly confirming the profound impact of naturalness branding on consumer decision-making. Based on these convincing findings,Meier and her research team have outlined several promising areas for further investigation.Their future work aims to explore deeper into the underlying cognitive and emotional mechanisms of this"naturalness bias",unlocking its potential applications in strategic marketing and the formulation of public policy. 32.How did Brian Meier's research differ from earlier studies on naturalness bias? A.It explored completely new fields. B.It repeated experiments for accuracy C.It tested people in real-life situations. D.It focused more on data comparison. 33.What can be inferred from the three experiments mentioned in the passage? A.Rigks lower the preference B.The bias depends on product type. C.The synthetic option tasted better. D.The bias works despite no real difference. 34.What might be a direction of future research according to the research team? A.Bchavioral bias. B.Consumer behavior. C.Product labeling strategies D.Hidden psychological mechanisms. 35.What might be the best title for the passage? A.The Power of "Natural":How Labels Shape Our Decisions B.The Risks of Natural Products:A Psychological Analysis C.Natural VS Synthetic:Consumer Choices in Everyday Life D.Beyond the Label:New Research in Consumer Psychology 第二节（供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能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两 项为多余选项。 Are you able to cook a healthy meal?Are you able to manage your money well? Are you able to sew on a button?36 This highlights a significant gap in modern education,which heavily prioritizes academic achievement and strict testing, often at the expense of practical life skills. Schools have done well in preparing us to be academic achievers in school,but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills.37 For those without these basic skills,the pandemic lockdown was a rude shock.With restaurants closed and home services stopped,it would have been satisfying to cook a meal or fix a light bulb.It's a shame that schools produce scholarly individuals who are unprepared for simple home tasks. 38 For example,financial management fosters responsibility and caution, while lessons on investment teach wealth growth.Equipped with this literacy, students can better discuss financial goals with parents,and budgeting knowledge can steer them away from overspending.Thus,in our complex world,schools must teach beyond academic subjects. After all,all the responsibility cannot be transferred to the home.The argument for parents teaching practical life skills overlooks modern realities.Many working parents lack the time,and some may not possess the proficiency themselves.39 Sandra Carey,a writer,puts it appropriately:"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living;the other helps you make a life."School is not simply a place to pass knowledge and prepare us for a career.40 A.Thus,a balanced approach is needed early on. B.For instance,many communities offer evening classes for adults C.Instead,it equips us with the wisdom to construct a fulfilling life. L.Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions E.Consequently,the central role in bridging this gap must fall to our schools. F.By integrating practical skills,schools can teach a more complete set of life values. G.Yet,practical skills such as cooking and housekeeping are essential in the real world. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共四节，满分45分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
