M: I don’t even have words.
W: See, I told you it was good.
M: I have got to say, or I’m not normally into romance novels, not because I don’t think they have their value, but more because I’m a very impatient reader and I hate it when authors take their time getting to the point. And it’s the same reason I don’t like literary fiction. But I prefer science fiction.
W: I don’t think I agree with you about romance novels. Literary fiction, yes, for sure, it tends to be flashy and difficult. But romance novels are a type of fiction that appeal to a wider range of audience and, as such, they need to use simpler language.

【解析】
【原文】 M: Hi, everybody! I’m delighted to see so many of you here today for my introductory talk about the university music society. The society was originally set up fifty years ago by a group of tutors in the music department. They ran it themselves for the first ten years, and then handed over the organization of the society to students, and it has stayed that way ever since. We invite experts to give talks on various different subjects throughout the year — we’ve had speakers telling us about pianos through the ages, and how to make drums. The first one of the term is this evening, and it’s all about violins. And next Wednesday, you’ll have a chance to hear our jazz group playing in a concert. Do you remember where the King’s Hall is, where you had your first-year welcome talk yesterday? Well, the concert will be in the slightly smaller Union Hall, just opposite. We have a competition every year for young composers. It took us a bit of time choosing a theme this year — in the past we’ve covered topics from nature to dance — the committee finally agreed it would be poetry, so we’ll see how that goes!

At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration.
In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job.
Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two.
“Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original.
Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration.
With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said.
24. What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration?
A. Her passion for cultural heritage protection.
B. Her determination to challenge herself.
C. Her desire to apply her college major.
D. Her curiosity about the job posting.
25. According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”?
A. Matching the original paper color.
B. Safely separating stuck-together pages.
C. Using historical binding techniques correctly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly.
26. What key advice does Li give to new restorers?
A. Evaluate their restoration ability before starting.
B. Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly.
C. Continue working even while in a bad mood.
D. Always ask experienced restorers for help.
27. Why does Li share restoration videos on social media?
A. To bring ancient books into everyday life.
B. To teach the public basic restoration skills.
C. To promote her studio’s restoration services.
D. To show the challenges of restoration work.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job. (一天,她看到一家文化科技公司在招聘古籍修复师。该公司为没有经验的人提供培训。出于好奇,她提交了申请并得到了这份工作。)”可知,李阳阳最初对这份招聘启事的好奇促使她追求古籍修复的工作。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Book bricks’ is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. (‘书砖’是修复人员给那些变得像砖头一样硬书的绰号。有些书非常潮湿,书页粘在一起,即使是第一步——展平书页——也可能需要一整天的时间。一个错误的举动就可能把书页撕破。)”可推知,修复“书砖”的主要挑战是安全地将粘在一起的书页分开。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. ‘Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,’ she said. (李说,初学者需要保持冷静,尊重工作。‘在开始修复之前,你必须问自己:我的技能能处理这个问题吗?如果不能,最好向有经验的修复人员寻求帮助,而不是冒险让事情变得更糟,’她说。)”可知,李给新手修复师的关键建议是在开始修复前评估自己的修复能力。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin to promote this work. ‘I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,’ Li said. (自今年2月以来,她一直在小红书和抖音上分享视频,以推广这项工作。‘我希望古籍能成为日常生活中更常见的一部分,这样更多的人就能体验到它们,’李说。)”可知,李在社交媒体上分享修复视频是为了让古籍融入日常生活。故选A。

Runners in a relay race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It was used from about 200 B.C. to about 1,400 A.D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of the hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe and sound.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized commodity. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were commonly found in the Central Asia and East Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from Central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this technology on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow apples. Trading along the Silk Road led to worldwide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.
The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion.
28. What was required to be traders along the Silk Road?
A. Knowing the making of goods.
B. Receiving certain special training.
C. Dealing with a lot of difficulties.
D. Remembering the entire trade route.
29. Why did the Silk Road become less important?
A. Sea travel provided new routes.
B. Silk trading became less popular.
C. It was made up of different routes.
D. People needed fewer foreign goods.
30. How could the new technology travel along the Silk Road?
A. People learned from one another.
B. People made a living by traveling.
C. People shared each other’s beliefs.
D. People traded goods along the route.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning
B. The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers
C. The Silk Road: the Past and the Present
D. The Silk Road: the East Meets the West
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍丝绸之路的历史、贸易商品、路线特点及在文化技术交流中的作用。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of the hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe and sound. (这些路线穿越山脉和沙漠,面临烈日、厚雪甚至战争等诸多危险。只有经验丰富的商人才能安然返回。)”可知,要成为丝绸之路上的商人,需要应对大量的艰难险阻。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was used from about 200 B.C. to about 1,400 A.D., when sea travel offered new routes. (它的使用时间大约从公元前200年到公元1400年,此后海上航行提供了新的路线。)”可知,丝绸之路变得没那么重要的原因是海上出行出现了新的路线。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Chinese had learned to graft different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this technology on to others, including the Romans. (中国人学会了将不同的树木嫁接以培育新型水果,并把这项技术传授给了包括罗马人在内的其他人。)”可知,新技术是通过人们之间相互学习的方式在丝绸之路上传播的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的 “Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Central Asia and East Asia. (欧洲的黄金、白银和玻璃制品大量出现在中亚和东亚地区)” 以及 “Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from Central Asia to Rome. (中国商人交易的纸张对西方产生了直接影响,苹果从中亚传入罗马)” 可知,丝绸之路实现了东西方商品的互通有无。根据第三段中的 “The Chinese had learned to graft different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this technology on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow apples. (中国人学会了嫁接不同树木来培育新型水果,并将这项技术传授给包括罗马人在内的其他人,罗马人利用嫁接技术种植苹果)” 可知,丝绸之路促进了东西方农业技术的传播与交流。根据第四段中的 “The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion. (丝绸之路上的人们不仅交换商品,还分享信仰,丝绸之路为知识传播、外交往来和宗教交流提供了通道)” 可知,丝绸之路承载了东西方文化与思想的交融。综上,文章从商品、技术、文化等多个维度,展现了丝绸之路作为东西方文明交汇桥梁的核心价值,因此 The Silk Road: the East Meets the West “丝绸之路:东西方的交汇融通”是最契合全文主旨的标题。故选D项。
D
Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones.
When fruits and vegetables are picked from plants, they still do things like “breathing”, and over time, their vitamins start to break down. That’s just how nature works. Before fruits and vegetables get to supermarkets or local markets, they have to be carried, stored, and then finally brought to people’s homes. This whole trip often takes a long time, and during this period, their vitamins slowly disappear.
But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -8℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help.
Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked.
For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true.
32. What does the underlined word “nutritious” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Popular. B. Healthy. C. Beautiful. D. Delicious.
33. What do we know about picked fruits and vegetables?
A. They begin to protect peels. B. They stop breathing quickly.
C. Temperatures affect their vitamins. D. Sellers care about their appearance.
34. What do experts and scientists find about frozen produce?
A. They lose vitamins once cooked. B. They are more helpful to humans.
C. They have more types of vitamins. D. They are delicious for a short time.
35. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality? B. Frozen Food: Less Safe Than Fresh?
C. Storing Vegetables: Tips for Freezing. D. Markets: Selling More Frozen Foods.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比冷冻与新鲜果蔬的维生素保留情况及引用专家研究,说明冷冻果蔬与新鲜果蔬在营养价值上差异不大,反驳了“冷冻果蔬质量更低”的观点。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones. (许多人认为,因为冷冻然后解冻食物会破坏维生素,所以冷冻蔬菜和水果一定比新鲜的蔬菜和水果营养少。)”可知,人们认为冷冻会破坏维生素,所以觉得冷冻蔬果不如新鲜蔬果有营养,即健康,故nutritious意思是“有营养的 / 营养丰富的”,即是健康的。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -18℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help. (但是对于冷冻水果和蔬菜来说,在采摘后,它们会立即在-18℃下快速冷冻。在这个温度下,“呼吸”几乎停止,微小的生物无法生长。冷冻有助于保护水果和蔬菜中的维生素——它不会损害它们,甚至可能有所帮助。)”可知,温度会影响采摘后的蔬果的维生素。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked. (美国农业部的专家研究了水果和蔬菜中的常见物质,如维生素C、B族维生素、多酚和类胡萝卜素。他们检查了市场上销售的产品,发现虽然冷冻蔬菜和新鲜蔬菜在某些方面可能存在微小差异,但总体来说,它们并没有太大不同。事实上,有时候冷冻水果和蔬菜比新鲜的水果和蔬菜保留更多的维生素。英国谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学的科学家研究了37种食物,发现冷冻青豆和新鲜青豆在煮熟后都含有高水平的β-胡萝卜素。)”可知,专家和科学家发现冷冻产品对人类更有帮助。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true. (基于这些原因,国际健康组织表示,冷冻水果和蔬菜以及新鲜水果和蔬菜都是可以接受的。“冷冻水果和蔬菜质量低劣”的旧观念不再正确。)”结合文章主要探讨了冷冻蔬果与新鲜蔬果在营养方面的对比,指出冷冻蔬果并不一定比新鲜蔬果营养少,国际健康组织也认为两者都是可接受的。可知,A选项“Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality?(冷冻与新鲜:质量相似吗?)”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在加拿大高中成绩被用作进入学院或大学的主要标准。然而,科学家的一项研究表明,近75%的学生成功是由其他因素决定的。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,科学家的一项研究表明,近75%的学生成功是由其他因素决定的。设空处为非谓语,修饰名词investigation,名词与make构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填made。
【57题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:同上。设空处为谓语,主语与谓语构成被动关系,陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态,主语nearly 75% of student success,谓语第三人称单数,故填is decided。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些因素通常被描述为21世纪的技能。设空处后跟名词作宾语,表示“被描述为”应用be described as,故填as。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:在学生阶段成功完成高等教育的重要因素是良好的学习习惯和压力管理。修饰动词finishing应用副词 successfully,作状语,故填 successfully。

【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:例如,一个在高中成绩较低的学生,如果他对自己的未来有明确的目标,他就可以在大学里表现出色。设空处为名词作宾语,goal是可数名词,用复数来泛指很多目标。故填goals。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意;虽然高中成绩将被用来决定学生是否被学术课程录取,但学生们应对中学后世界挑战的能力将决定他们的成功。设空处为非谓语动词,名词ability后一般跟不定式作后置定语。故填to deal。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词,句意:好的高中成绩并不能保证成功:中学和家长可以在帮助培养独立思考的学生方面发挥关键作用,这些学生将能够在中学后取得成功。作介词in的宾语,应用动名词形式。故填helping。

参考词汇:穷游族budget travellers
Travelling on a budget is a fashionable form of travel nowadays.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Travelling on a budget is a fashionable form of travel nowadays. It enables travel lovers to enjoy travelling in a more economical way.
Compared with traditional travel, travelling on a budget is more convenient and the price of it is very friendly. That means travellers arrange the schedule freely and enjoy the journey at a lower cost. Meanwhile travellers have more opportunities to experience local customs and practices. Inviting as it seems to be, accommodation conditions are often far from satisfactory. What’s more, budget travellers’ safety is worrying.
But I still like it very much, because it can provide travellers with chances to develop their problem-solving ability in unexpected situations.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文,主要探讨穷游的优缺点,并阐述作者自己的看法。
【详解】1.词汇积累:

67. 读后续写
Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. “Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt?” I explained that if we were blind to the poor man’s situation he would be freezing. He didn’t have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt.
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was just a matter of a few spoonful of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There are always blessings to count if we open our eyes, and always have the opportunity to be a blessing for someone else.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作为单身母亲的作者,有一个八岁的儿子。有一周,天气骤降,油价上涨,作者和儿子生活拮据,作者想尽办法降低消费,而儿子却想要喝一种作者看来是浪费钱的酸奶。看着儿子渴望的眼神,作者改变了计划给他买了酸奶。但是在回家路上,作者发现路边有一位更加需要帮助的老人。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“儿子看到这一幕,既困惑又惊讶。”可知,第一段可描写儿子感到困惑后会问作者,为什么自己很困难还要帮助别人,以及作者是如何回答孩子的。
②由第二段首句内容“那天,我儿子做了一件大多数成年人都不会做的事。”可知,第二段可描写受妈妈的启发,孩子也帮助了别人。
2.续写线索:经济拮据——降低开支——孩子要酸奶——妈妈不情愿地买酸奶——妈妈帮助穷人——孩子帮助穷人

In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job.
Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two.
“Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original.
Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration.
With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said.
24. What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration?
A. Her passion for cultural heritage protection.
B. Her determination to challenge herself.
C. Her desire to apply her college major.
D. Her curiosity about the job posting.
25. According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”?
A. Matching the original paper color.
B. Safely separating stuck-together pages.
C. Using historical binding techniques correctly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly.
26. What key advice does Li give to new restorers?
A. Evaluate their restoration ability before starting.
B. Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly.
C. Continue working even while in a bad mood.
D. Always ask experienced restorers for help.
27. Why does Li share restoration videos on social media?
A. To bring ancient books into everyday life.
B. To teach the public basic restoration skills.
C. To promote her studio’s restoration services.
D. To show the challenges of restoration work.

Runners in a relay race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It was used from about 200 B.C. to about 1,400 A.D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of the hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe and sound.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized commodity. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were commonly found in the Central Asia and East Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from Central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this technology on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow apples. Trading along the Silk Road led to worldwide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.
The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion.
28. What was required to be traders along the Silk Road?
A. Knowing the making of goods.
B. Receiving certain special training.
C. Dealing with a lot of difficulties.
D. Remembering the entire trade route.
29. Why did the Silk Road become less important?
A. Sea travel provided new routes.
B. Silk trading became less popular.
C. It was made up of different routes.
D. People needed fewer foreign goods.
30. How could the new technology travel along the Silk Road?
A. People learned from one another.
B. People made a living by traveling.
C. People shared each other’s beliefs.
D. People traded goods along the route.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning
B. The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers
C. The Silk Road: the Past and the Present
D. The Silk Road: the East Meets the West

Many people think that because freezing (冰冻) and then unfreezing food will break down vitamins (维生素), frozen vegetables and fruits must be less nutritious than fresh ones.
When fruits and vegetables are picked from plants, they still do things like “breathing”, and over time, their vitamins start to break down. That’s just how nature works. Before fruits and vegetables get to supermarkets or local markets, they have to be carried, stored, and then finally brought to people’s homes. This whole trip often takes a long time, and during this period, their vitamins slowly disappear.
But for frozen fruits and vegetables, right after they’re picked, they will be quickly frozen at -8℃.At this temperature, the “breathing” almost stops, and tiny living things can’t grow. Freezing helps keep vitamins in fruits and vegetables safe — it doesn’t hurt them, and it might even help.
Experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture looked at common things in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin C, B vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids. They checked products sold in markets and found that while frozen and fresh vegetables might have small differences in some things, overall, they’re not that different. In fact, sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables keep more of these vitamins than fresh ones do. Scientists from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK studied 37 kinds of food and found that both frozen green beans and fresh green beans have high levels of beta carotene after being cooked.
For these reasons, international health groups say that both frozen fruits and vegetables and fresh ones are acceptable. The old idea that “frozen fruits and vegetables are low quality” is no longer true.
32. What does the underlined word “nutritious” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Popular. B. Healthy. C. Beautiful. D. Delicious.
33. What do we know about picked fruits and vegetables?
A. They begin to protect peels. B. They stop breathing quickly.
C. Temperatures affect their vitamins. D. Sellers care about their appearance.
34. What do experts and scientists find about frozen produce?
A. They lose vitamins once cooked. B. They are more helpful to humans.
C. They have more types of vitamins. D. They are delicious for a short time.
35. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Frozen vs. Fresh: Similar Quality? B. Frozen Food: Less Safe Than Fresh?
C. Storing Vegetables: Tips for Freezing. D. Markets: Selling More Frozen Foods.

Yoghurt
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It's just yoghurt. What's the big deal?” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then — bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn’t have done.
