Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake. POTATO CHIPS One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant. TOFU Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good. CHEESE PUFFS Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs! 21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese. B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking. C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air. D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China. 22. What do the three foods have in common? A. They are the results of complaints. B. They were not created on purpose. C. They weren’t originally made for people. D. They are all popular throughout the world. 23. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To compare the features of some foods. B. To inform readers of some foods. C. To recommend some foods. D. To introduce the origins of some foods. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍薯片、豆腐和芝士泡芙三种常见食物的偶然发明过程。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle.(豆腐于2000年前在中国被偶然发明，当时一位厨师往豆浆里加了海藻，使豆浆发生了凝固)”可知，豆腐在中国已有2000年历史。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Some of our favorite foods were created by accident.(我们喜爱的一些食物是偶然被创造出来的)”，以及后文分别介绍薯片、豆腐、芝士泡芙的发明契机可知，这三种食物的共同点是都非刻意被发明。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.(下面为大家介绍几种常见食物的“意外菜单”，如果不是有人误打误撞，这些食物根本不会存在)”，以及全文对三种食物发明由来的介绍可知，本文的目的是介绍一些食物的起源。故选D。 B Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says. Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family. Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.” 24. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians? A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos. C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information. 25. Why did Rathee make his video about the film? A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data. C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument. 26. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work? A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining. 27. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority. C. Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rathee通过制作视频来教育印度人如何正确使用互联网。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says.(但他很快发现了一个问题。他说：“印度人没有接受过如何使用互联网的培训，他们盲目地相信他们在YouTube或WhatsApp上看到的任何东西。”)”可知，Rathee注意到印度人容易被网络信息误导。故选D。  【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. (今年5月，当一部名为《喀拉拉邦的故事》的电影开始引起轰动时，Rathee制作了一段23分钟的视频，他在视频中辩称，这部电影宣扬了一个错误的理论)”可知，Rathee制作视频是为了阻止错误理论的传播。故选C。   【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says.(因此，在印度北部哈里亚纳邦的一个小镇长大、后来在德国学习机械工程的拉西成为了他所谓的“YouTube教育家”，用印地语制作视频，对印度社交媒体上的热门话题进行事实核查。他说：“我的目标是尽可能简单地呈现事物，用简单的语言分解复杂的问题。”)”可知，Rathee通过制作视频教育人们，他的工作是启发性的。故选B。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that .”(尽管有风险，拉西仍然保持冷静。他制作视频只有一个原因。他说：“我希望他们教会人们宽容、共存、接受彼此的意见，这些是我自己真正看重的价值观。”他补充道：“我很惊讶这么简单的事情却能引起这么多的关注，也许是因为没有人敢这么做。”)”可知，that指代的是前文所说的制作事实核查视频。故选C。 C Today, trees face a serious threat from human activity. Over the past 300 years, 1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in the loss of biodiversity, desertification, and increased flood risks. Deforestation is also linked to a higher likelihood of disease outbreaks due to increased contact between humans and animals. In his book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explores how to best protect and restore forests. He argues that merely planting trees is not enough to fight deforestation. Tree-planting projects have increased dramatically in recent decades. Although trees help prevent soil degradation and fight climate change by capturing carbon, poorly planned tree-planting projects can harm ecosystems. Monoculture, where only one type of tree is planted, reduces biodiversity and makes forests easier to suffer diseases. Robinson advocates for a more informed approach to forest restoration. Regulators must understand the complex connections between trees, people, animals, and even microorganisms. For instance, native people often rely on forests for farming and raising livestock. Therefore, tree-planting projects should take into account local knowledge and the needs of communities to avoid displacing them unfairly. Robinson highlights several forest restoration projects. The Great Green Wall project aims to grow a line of trees across the Sahara Desert to prevent desert expansion and improve local livelihoods. Another project, Western Australia’s Gondwana Link, seeks to reconnect broken forest areas to protect endangered species. These projects emphasize the importance of understanding local ecosystems and investing in the long-term care of young trees. Robinson concludes that natural regeneration — allowing forests to heal themselves — is one of the best methods of restoration. He compares it to a phoenix (凤凰) rising from its ashes, pointing out that a forest can regenerate from its own leftovers. His descriptions and thought-provoking questions add depth to his narrative. He explores how to understand the environment’s fundamental state and examines how animals contribute to forest regeneration. His balanced perspective encourages researchers to develop more effective methods for forest restoration. 28. What does Robinson argue in his book Treewilding? A. Planting trees can pose risks to ecosystems. B. Deforestation has led to a complete biodiversity loss. C. Forests can only be restored via human intervention. D. Planting more trees is the best way to fight deforestation. 29. What does monoculture refer to based on the text? A. A natural process of forest growth. B. A method for restoring ecosystems. C. A practice that enhances forest health. D. A phenomenon harmful to biodiversity. 30. Why does Robinson emphasize the role of communities in tree-planting projects? A. To ensure the projects are cost-effective. B. To make tree-planting projects more digital. C. To protect communities from unjust displacement. D. To encourage modern technology in restoration efforts. 31. Which is the best approach for forest restoration according to Robinson? A. Planting diverse species of trees. B. Encouraging natural regeneration. C. Promoting extensive artificial planting. D. Helping animals tackle forest’s leftovers. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生态学家杰克·罗宾逊在他的书《Treewilding》中探讨了如何最好地保护和恢复森林，介绍了他对种树的一些看法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although trees help prevent soil degradation and fight climate change by capturing carbon, poorly planned tree-planting projects can harm ecosystems. Monoculture, where only one type of tree is planted, reduces biodiversity and makes forests easier to suffer diseases.(尽管树木通过捕获碳有助于防止土壤退化和应对气候变化，但规划不当的植树项目可能会损害生态系统。单一栽培，即只种植一种树木，减少了生物多样性，使森林更容易遭受疾病)”可知，罗宾逊在他的书《树野》中论述了种树会给生态系统带来风险。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Monoculture, where only one type of tree is planted, reduces biodiversity and makes forests easier to suffer diseases.(单一栽培，即只种植一种树木，减少了生物多样性，使森林更容易遭受疾病)”可知，单一栽培指的是对生物多样性有害的现象。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Therefore, tree-planting projects should take into account local knowledge and the needs of communities to avoid displacing them unfairly.(因此，植树项目应考虑到当地的知识和社区的需求，以避免不公平地取代它们)”可知，罗宾逊强调社区在植树计划中的作用是为了保护社区以免被不公正地取代。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Robinson concludes that natural regeneration — allowing forests to heal themselves — is one of the best methods of restoration.(罗宾逊的结论是，自然再生——让森林自我修复——是最好的恢复方法之一)”可知，鼓励自然再生是森林恢复的最佳方法。故选B。 D Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science. Both delicate and sturdy, elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired (仿生) robots. By conducting a high- resolution motion capture analysis of elephants’ trunks, researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes. For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things. “It’s not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening — it’s different parts, relying on what the elephant is doing,” said Milinkovitch, professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant. They used high- resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk, allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant’s muscle groups, skin and connective tissues. The study data will be used to help design an innovative“ soft” robotic arm.“ The data is exceptional, but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,” Milinkovitch said. “We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot’s behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.” The project is also fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D printed for robotic prototypes (原型). The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses. 32. What does the underlined word “sturdy” in paragraph l probably mean? A. Strong. B. Broad. C. Sensitive. D. Rough 33. How does an elephant handle different objects? A. By securing the position of these objects at first. B. By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly. C. By sucking them with all the strength. D. By stretching its trunk based on things’ sizes. 34. Why do researchers translate the biological data? A. To test the safety of the robotic arm. B. To upgrade the appearance of the robot. C. To improve the behavior of the robot. D. To study the structure of muscle tissues. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Elephant Trunks: The Theory of Movement in Robotics B. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiration for Soft Robotics C. “Soft” Robotic Arms: An Innovation in 3D- printed Robots D. “Soft” Robotic Arms: A Major Breakthrough in Material Science 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了象鼻的功能及其对软体机器人设计的启发。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds(象鼻既能抓住一片叶子，也能搬运近600磅的重物)”可知，象鼻既敏锐又强壮，是强壮的。因此“sturdy”在此处应理解为“强壮的”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things.(例如，大象用吸力来捡起轻的物体。然而，为了拿起较重的东西，它们使用吸力来固定物体的位置，并使用躯干包裹来固定和抬起东西)”可知，大象通过灵活结合吸力和象鼻的动作来处理不同的物体。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot’s behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.(我们需要提取一些简化原则，使机器人的行为足够简单，能够有效地适应变化)”可知，研究人员转化生物数据是为了改进机器人的行为，使其更有效并适应变化。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired (仿生) robots.(科学家们认为他们对下一代仿生机器人有着不可思议的启发)”可知，文章主要介绍了象鼻的功能及其对软体机器人设计的启发。所以短文的最佳标题为B选项“象鼻：软体机器人的灵感来源”。故选B。 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。 How to Bring Our Community Together Canada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. ___36___ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.

From the moment she found out that she was to give birth to a son with a cleft (唇裂), she protected him, loved him, and dreamed of the day his lip would be healed. Anita lives in a small village about two hours from Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines. She already had six children when they found out she would have Aljay, her seventh. When the doctor performed an ultrasound (超声波扫描检查) in Anita’s seventh month of pregnancy (妊娠期), he saw that her unborn child had a cleft. “He told me to get rid of him” Anita said, tears pouring down her cheeks. “I told him that you don’t just give birth and then give it up. I told him I want this child.” When Anita showed her new baby to her neighbors, they were horrified. “Your son looks like a monster.” they told Anita, “Get rid of him.” In many places around the world there is widespread and severe social stigma (耻辱) associated with cleft conditions. Hearing her son being ridiculed (嘲笑) was not the worst of it. “When I tried to feed him, the milk came out of his nose. I was worried that he could die.” Aljay survived and loved school, but the pain he endured from the other children was hard to bear. They teased him, laughed at him, and called him a monster. When the teasing became too much, Anita would take Aljay to the cornfields so he was hidden from view and nobody could tease him anymore. When the family heard that Operation Smile was coming to Cagayande Oro, they began saving money to afford transport to get to the city. At the medical mission Anita finally received the news she was waiting for: Aljay was healthy enough to receive surgery. After just over 45 minutes his lip was repaired and his life was transformed. Today Aljay is a happy and cheerful boy who loves going to school and playing with other children. 81.

What was Anita’s response when hearing what the doctor said? ___________________________________________________ 83. What did the neighbors think of the new baby? ___________________________________________________ 84. Why did Anita hide Aljay in the cornfield? ___________________________________________________ 85. Why is Aljay a happy and cheerful boy today? ___________________________________________________ 【答案】81. She protected and loved him, wishing him to be healed. /She tended him with care and tried to cure him. 82. She was sad but determined to give birth./She cried but refused to follow the doctor’s advice. /She cried but refused the doctor’s advice./She shed tears and decided not to give up. 83. They thought it was a monster. 84. To help him avoid being teased/laughed at/ ridiculed./(Because) She wanted him to avoid being teased. 85. His lip was successfully repaired. (加了successfully就不是原句)/They managed to approach Operation Smile./His mother made him what he is today./Because he has a great mother./Because he has friends and can play with other children. /Because he can live a normal life after operation. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是一个伟大的母亲费劲千辛万苦把患有唇裂的儿子抚养大的故事。安妮塔是个很疼爱儿子的母亲。从她发现自己将生下一个唇裂儿子的那一刻起，她就保护他，爱他，梦想着他的嘴唇能愈合的那一天，忍受痛苦、嘲笑、折磨。当这家人听说“微笑行动”要来卡加扬德奥罗时，他们开始攒钱买交通工具去城里。经过治疗儿子的嘴唇得到了修复，他的生活从此改变。儿子变得快乐开朗，喜欢上学，喜欢和其他孩子一起玩。 【81题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段的“From the moment she found out that she was to give birth to a son with a cleft (唇裂), she protected him, loved him, and dreamed of the day his lip would be healed.(从她发现自己将生下一个唇裂儿子的那一刻起，她就保护他，爱他，梦想着他的嘴唇能愈合的那一天。)”可知，Anita保护儿子，爱他，希望他能痊愈。她悉心照料他，希望治好他的病。故答案为She protected and loved him, wishing him to be healed. /She tended him with care and tried to cure him. 【82题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段的““He told me to get rid of him” Anita said, tears pouring down her cheeks. “I told him that you don’t just give birth and then give it up. I told him I want this child.”(“他让我放弃他，”Anita说，眼泪顺着脸颊流下来。“我告诉他，你不能有了孩子就放弃。我告诉他我想要这个孩子。”)”可知，当Anita听到医生的话时，她很伤心，但她拒绝了医生的建议，决心要把孩子生下来，故答案为She was sad but determined to give birth./She cried but refused to follow the doctor’s advice./She cried but refused the doctor’s advice./She shed tears and decided not to give up. 【83题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段的““Your son looks like a monster. ” they told Anita(“你儿子看起来像个怪物。”他们告诉Anita。)”可知，邻居们觉得这个新生儿像个怪物，故答案为They thought it was a monster. 【84题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段的“When the teasing became too much, Anita would take Aljay to the cornfields so he was hidden from view and nobody could tease him anymore.(当取笑太多的时候，Anita就会把Aljay带到玉米地，这样他就藏起来了，没有人能再取笑他了。)”可知，Anita把Aljay藏在玉米地里是为了让他不被人取笑，故答案为To help him avoid being teased/laughed at/ ridiculed./(Because) She wanted him to avoid being teased. 【85题详解】 考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段的“When the family heard that Operation Smile was coming to Cagayande Oro, they began saving money to afford transport to get to the city. At the medical mission Anita finally received the news she was waiting for: Aljay was healthy enough to receive surgery. After just over 45 minutes his lip was repaired and his life was transformed.(当这家人听说“微笑行动”要来Cagayande Oro时，他们开始攒钱乘坐交通工具到那个城市。在医疗任务中，Anita终于得到了她一直在等待的消息：Aljay足够健康，可以接受手术。45分钟后，他的嘴唇得到了修复，他的生活从此改变。)”，和最后一段的“Today Aljay is a happy and cheerful boy who loves going to school and playing with other children.(今天的Aljay是一个快乐开朗的男孩，他喜欢上学，喜欢和其他孩子一起玩。)”可知，Aljay今天是一个快乐的男孩是因为他的嘴唇被成功地修复了，或者他们设法参加了“微笑行动”，因为他母亲使他成为今天的样子，他有一个伟大的母亲，他有朋友，可以和其他孩子一起玩，手术后他可以过正常的生活。故答案为His lip was successfully repaired. (加了successfully就不是原句)/They managed to approach Operation Smile./His mother made him what he is today./Because he has a great mother./Because he has friends and can play with other children./Because he can live a normal life after operation. 第五部分 写作（满分15分） 86. 假设你是高中生李华，刚看完一部电影《Harry Potter at Hogwarts》，对其中的特效印象深刻，向你的高中英文报《English Evening》投稿。 内容包括：1. 具体的特技及其效果。 2. 表扬电影背后默默工作的演职员。 题目：Behind the scenes of Harry Potter 注意： 1. 字数：80。 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Behind the scenes of Harry Potter ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Behind the scenes of Harry Potter I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student.

Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that never would have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake. POTATO CHIPS One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant. TOFU Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good. CHEESE PUFFS Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs! 21. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese. B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking. C. Hot wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air. D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China. 22. What do the three foods have in common? A. They are the results of complaints. B. They were not created on purpose. C. They weren’t originally made for people. D. They are all popular throughout the world. 23. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To compare the features of some foods. B. To inform readers of some foods. C. To recommend some foods. D. To introduce the origins of some foods. B Rathee discovered YouTube in 2014, a time when cheap smartphones and cellular (蜂窝) data led to a boom in internet access in India. Inspired by videos he watched online, Rathee, now 28, started a travel vlog. But he soon noticed a problem. “People in India weren’t trained on how to use the internet and blindly trusted whatever they saw on YouTube or WhatsApp,” he says. So Rathee, who grew up in a small northern Indian town in the state of Haryana and later studied mechanical engineering in Germany, became what he calls a “YouTube educator”, making videos in Hindi that fact-check topics that are trending on Indian social media. “My aim is to present things as simply as possible and break down complex issues in simple words,” he says. Rathee’s work is incredibly popular — he’s accumulated nearly 13 million subscribers, making his YouTube channel one of the most-viewed in the country. It has also led to conflicts. When a film called The Kerala Story began making waves in May, Rathee made a 23-minute video in which he argued that the film promoted a false theory. Though Rathee used the government’s data and international sources to make his counterclaim, his fact-checking led to consequences, including threats sent to his family. Despite the risks, Rathee remains calm. He makes videos for one reason. “I hope they teach people tolerance, coexistence, and accepting each other’s opinions, values that I myself really value,” he says. “I’m surprised doing such a simple thing can bring so much attention,” he adds, “maybe because no one tries to dare to do that.” 24. What problem did Rathee notice with Indians? A. They blindly subscribed to vlogs. B. They were addicted to online videos. C. They had limited access to the Internet. D. They were easily misled by online information. 25. Why did Rathee make his video about the film? A. To attract views and attention. B. To correct government data. C. To stop the spread of a false theory. D. To support his previous argument. 26. Which word could best describe Rathee’s work? A. Confusing. B. Enlightening. C. Disappointing. D. Entertaining. 27. What does the underlined word“that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Raising various opinions. B. Challenging the authority. C Making fact-checking videos. D. Critisizing traditional values. C Today, trees face a serious threat from human activity. Over the past 300 years, 1.5 billion hectares of forest have been lost, resulting in the loss of biodiversity, desertification, and increased flood risks. Deforestation is also linked to a higher likelihood of disease outbreaks due to increased contact between humans and animals. In his book Treewilding, ecologist Jake Robinson explores how to best protect and restore forests. He argues that merely planting trees is not enough to fight deforestation. Tree-planting projects have increased dramatically in recent decades. Although trees help prevent soil degradation and fight climate change by capturing carbon, poorly planned tree-planting projects can harm ecosystems. Monoculture, where only one type of tree is planted, reduces biodiversity and makes forests easier to suffer diseases. Robinson advocates for a more informed approach to forest restoration. Regulators must understand the complex connections between trees, people, animals, and even microorganisms. For instance, native people often rely on forests for farming and raising livestock. Therefore, tree-planting projects should take into account local knowledge and the needs of communities to avoid displacing them unfairly. Robinson highlights several forest restoration projects. The Great Green Wall project aims to grow a line of trees across the Sahara Desert to prevent desert expansion and improve local livelihoods. Another project, Western Australia’s Gondwana Link, seeks to reconnect broken forest areas to protect endangered species. These projects emphasize the importance of understanding local ecosystems and investing in the long-term care of young trees. Robinson concludes that natural regeneration — allowing forests to heal themselves — is one of the best methods of restoration. He compares it to a phoenix (凤凰) rising from its ashes, pointing out that a forest can regenerate from its own leftovers. His descriptions and thought-provoking questions add depth to his narrative. He explores how to understand the environment’s fundamental state and examines how animals contribute to forest regeneration. His balanced perspective encourages researchers to develop more effective methods for forest restoration. 28. What does Robinson argue in his book Treewilding? A. Planting trees can pose risks to ecosystems. B. Deforestation has led to a complete biodiversity loss. C. Forests can only be restored via human intervention. D. Planting more trees is the best way to fight deforestation. 29. What does monoculture refer to based on the text? A. A natural process of forest growth. B. A method for restoring ecosystems. C. A practice that enhances forest health. D. A phenomenon harmful to biodiversity. 30. Why does Robinson emphasize the role of communities in tree-planting projects? A. To ensure the projects are cost-effective. B. To make tree-planting projects more digital. C. To protect communities from unjust displacement. D. To encourage modern technology in restoration efforts. 31. Which is the best approach for forest restoration according to Robinson? A. Planting diverse species of trees. B. Encouraging natural regeneration. C. Promoting extensive artificial planting. D. Helping animals tackle forest’s leftovers. D Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth, and understanding them better could lead to big scientific breakthroughs in science. Both delicate and sturdy, elephant trunks (象鼻) can grasp a single leaf but can also carry nearly 600 pounds. Scientists think that they are an incredible inspiration for the next generation of bio-inspired (仿生) robots. By conducting a high- resolution motion capture analysis of elephants’ trunks researchers found elephants have a set of simple movements that they can integrate freely to handle objects of various shapes and sizes. For example, elephants use suction (吸力) to pick up lightweight objects. However, to pick up heavier things, they use suction to secure the position of the objects and trunk wrapping to hold and lift things. “It’s not the whole trunk that is lengthening or shortening — it’s different parts, relying on what the elephant is doing,” said Milinkovitch, professor of the physics of biology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Researchers also performed CT scans and MRIs on the trunk of a dead elephant. They used high- resolution cameras to create a 3D model of a trunk, allowing them to better understand the structure of an elephant’s muscle groups, skin and connective tissues. The study data will be used to help design an innovative“ soft” robotic arm.“ The data is exceptional, but now the effort is to translate this biological data into some engineering specifications,” Milinkovitch said. “We need to extract some simplifying principles that can make the robot’s behavior simple enough to be effective and adaptable to changes.” The project is also fueling advancements in material science, as researchers have developed a new material similar to the useful properties of elephant skin and can be 3D printed for robotic prototypes (原型). The new materials may be commercialized for a wide range of uses. 32. What does the underlined word “sturdy” in paragraph l probably mean? A. Strong. B. Broad. C. Sensitive. D. Rough 33. How does an elephant handle different objects? A. By securing the position of these objects at first. B. By combining suction with trunk movements flexibly. C. By sucking them with all the strength. D By stretching its trunk based on things’ sizes. 34. Why do researchers translate the biological data? A. To test the safety of the robotic arm. B. To upgrade the appearance of the robot. C. To improve the behavior of the robot. D. To study the structure of muscle tissues. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Elephant Trunks: The Theory of Movement in Robotics B. Elephant Trunks: The Inspiration for Soft Robotics C. “Soft” Robotic Arms: An Innovation in 3D- printed Robots D. “Soft” Robotic Arms: A Major Breakthrough in Material Science 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。 How to Bring Our Community Together Canada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. ___36___ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.

From the moment she found out that she was to give birth to a son with a cleft (唇裂), she protected him, loved him, and dreamed of the day his lip would be healed. Anita lives in a small village about two hours from Cagayan de Oro in the Philippines. She already had six children when they found out she would have Aljay, her seventh. When the doctor performed an ultrasound (超声波扫描检查) in Anita’s seventh month of pregnancy (妊娠期), he saw that her unborn child had a cleft. “He told me to get rid of him” Anita said, tears pouring down her cheeks. “I told him that you don’t just give birth and then give it up. I told him I want this child.” When Anita showed her new baby to her neighbors, they were horrified. “Your son looks like a monster.” they told Anita, “Get rid of him.” In many places around the world there is widespread and severe social stigma (耻辱) associated with cleft conditions. Hearing her son being ridiculed (嘲笑) was not the worst of it. “When I tried to feed him, the milk came out of his nose. I was worried that he could die.” Aljay survived and loved school but the pain he endured from the other children was hard to bear. They teased him, laughed at him, and called him a monster. When the teasing became too much, Anita would take Aljay to the cornfields so he was hidden from view and nobody could tease him anymore. When the family heard that Operation Smile was coming to Cagayande Oro, they began saving money to afford transport to get to the city. At the medical mission Anita finally received the news she was waiting for: Aljay was healthy enough to receive surgery. After just over 45 minutes his lip was repaired and his life was transformed. Today Aljay is a happy and cheerful boy who loves going to school and playing with other children. 81.
