Personally, I was a big fan of the idea from the start. M: Really? W: Yeah. In fact, I’d thought about volunteering before, but it wasn’t easy to fit it in around school time and my weekend job. Now I get to leave school early every Thursday to go to the animal shelter. M: That’s so cool! Do your friends work there with you? W: No, we all do different things. Sarah volunteers at a retirement home, Dan works with disabled kids, and Mike works a shift at a food bank every Friday morning. M: Wow, that’s important work. Food banks feed some of the poorest in our community. W: True. The programme has really opened our eyes to the world's problems, and I think we’re more caring as a result. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. Where will the visitors go? A. A hotel. B.

Please take your seats and let’s get going. I won’t talk for long, as our destination is only a 20-minute bus ride from our hotel here in central Stockholm. Today we’re visiting Skansen, the world’s oldest open-air museum. As a “living museum,” Skansen provides us with a picture of ordinary Swedish life before the Industrial Age. The site features over 150 historical buildings brought to the museum from all over the country. Activities take place each day in both Swedish and English; they are given by actors in traditional costume, which really brings the history to life. Skansen is the world’s only open-air museum with wild animals, and the Nordic Zoo features many types of local wildlife such as deer and bears. There’s also a Children’s Zoo. The Skansen Aquarium also has fish, plus many other creatures such as snakes, insects and monkeys! Unfortunately, this isn’t included in our entry price, but adult tickets cost just 160 kronor — about 20 of your Canadian dollars. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Healthy Eating Plate Use the Healthy Eating Plate as a guide for creating healthy, balanced meals — whether served at the table or packed in a lunch box. Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits. These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating: The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others. It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet. It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Your Plate and the Planet Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources. 21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned? A. Nuts added to a salad. B. Brown rice with beans. C. Steamed fish with vegetables. D. Bacon served with white bread. 22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate? A. To count calories first. B. To follow a low-fat diet. C. To cut carbohydrate intake. D. To focus on diet quality. 23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text? A. To explain how food policies are made. B. To highlight the changes in dietary views. C. To show that the Plate takes official advice. D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“健康饮食餐盘”这一视觉化饮食指南，强调通过均衡摄入各类健康食物、限制不健康食物以及注重饮食质量而非单纯计算热量，来建立健康的日常饮食习惯，并简要提及饮食选择对环境的影响。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片Healthy Eating Plate中右下角HEALTHY PROTEIN部分“avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats (避免熏肉、冷切肉和其他加工肉类)”以及右上角WHOLE GRAINS部分“limit refined grains(like white rice and white bread) (限制精制谷物（如白米饭和白面包）)”可知，培根配白面包因含有不健康的碳水化合物和脂肪，同时违反了“避免加工肉类”和“限制精制谷物”两项建议，是最可能被质疑的选择。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet (建立健康均衡的饮食)”、图片下方第一段“These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating: (这些指南强调了健康饮食中最重要的事情)”以及“The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate,(饮食中碳水化合物的类型比碳水化合物的量更重要)”、“It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet.(它建议消费者避免含糖饮料，这是美国饮食中卡路里的主要来源，通常几乎没有营养价值)”和“It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat.(它鼓励消费者使用健康的油，并且没有对人们每天从健康脂肪来源获得的卡路里百分比设定上限)”可知，文章多处强调饮食质量的重要性，“健康饮食餐盘”的主要信息是关注饮食质量，而非单纯计算热量或限制脂肪。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).(通过这种方式，健康饮食餐盘建议与美国农业部（USDA）几十年来推广的低脂信息相反)”可推知，提及USDA是为了突出饮食观念的变化，即从低脂转向关注健康脂肪和碳水化合物类型。故选B项。 B Recently, I’ve been on a memory trip. The memories were actually my mother-in-law’s. She’d always wanted to revisit the town in Tavistock, where she was born and grew up, even though she’d once rushed to leave it. But such nostalgic trips can be disappointing. So much has changed. Is it worth the risk? My wife had tried to arrange visits to two houses. How would people react when they got a letter from a total stranger asking to bring her elderly mother round just because she’d lived there as a girl? The letters were a shot in the dark. The only reply was a rejection from a lady whose husband had just broken both feet. Well, we’d paid for the trip, so why let the opportunity go to waste? No reply had come from the second house, number 17, so we decided just to look at it from the outside. Except: “Are you sure it was number 17? It says number 12 here.” The houses had been renumbered — my wife had written to the wrong house. Then, as we stood outside number 12, a message arrived from number 17: “Anytime tomorrow morning would be fine. Look forward to seeing you.” And there was I thinking how house numbers made life easier for postal workers than charming old names like Honeysuckle Cottage and Holly-Tree House. We knocked at number 12. Another disappointment: no one home — only two cats on armchairs. But we returned the next morning. This time, the owner welcomed us in, happily showing us pictures of the renovations he’d done to this 18th-century house. A letter sent to the wrong address rarely leads to a happy ending. In both stories and life, a simple misdirection can cost dearly-a dream job lost, or a long — awaited reunion missed. But our story did end happily, and I take my hat off to the people of Tavistock. We were perfect strangers, but they were perfect hosts. 24. What does “a shot in the dark” in paragraph 2 mean? A. An attempt with little hope. B. A risky request. C. An invitation with no response. D. A careless decision. 25. What caused the confusion when the author’s family visited the second house? A. The owner’s refusal to meet. B. An error in the letter’s address. C. A change in house numbers. D. The mix-up of old house names. 26. Why does the author contrast their story’s ending with typical outcomes of misdirection? A. To stress the cost of mistakes. B. To show they were just lucky. C. To argue for careful trip planning. D. To highlight the kindness they met. 27. How did the author’s feelings about the trip change? A. From being a bit nervous to pretty excited. B. From feeling worried to pleasantly surprised. C. From having no interest to becoming curious. D. From hoping for a lot to accepting fairly little. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者陪岳母回出生地怀旧，写信登门希望渺茫，又遇房屋重编号找错地址，最终却获房主热情接待，暖心结局凸显当地人的善良。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“My wife had tried to arrange visits to two houses. How would people react when they got a letter from a total stranger asking to bring her elderly mother round, just because she’d lived there as a girl?(我的妻子曾试图安排去两家人家做客。当他们收到一封来自一个完全陌生人的信，信中请求带她年迈的母亲去那两家人家做客，仅仅是因为她小时候曾在那里生活过时，人们会作何反应呢？)”以及“The only reply was a rejection from a lady whose husband had just broken both feet.(唯一的回应是一位女士的拒绝之词，她的丈夫刚刚双足骨折了)”可知，前文妻子给两户人家写信，心里没底——陌生人突然请求登门只因老人曾住过，不知对方会如何反应，后文也只收到一封拒绝信，说明此举希望渺茫。故意思是“一种几乎毫无希望的尝试”。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The houses had been renumbered — my wife had written to the wrong house.(这些房子的门牌号都被重新更改了——我妻子寄错了地址)”可知，当作者的家人去第二处房子时，房子的门牌号发生了变化所以引起混淆。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A letter sent to the wrong address rarely leads to a happy ending. In both stories and life, a simple misdirection can cost dearly-a dream job lost, or a long — awaited reunion missed. But our story did end happily, and I take my hat off to the people of Tavistock. We were perfect strangers, but they were perfect hosts.(寄错地址的信件鲜少能有圆满结局。无论是故事里还是现实中，一个小小的失误都可能代价惨重 —— 错失一份理想工作，或是错过一场久候的重逢。但我们的经历最终迎来了圆满，我由衷敬佩塔维斯托克的人们：我们本是素昧平生的陌生人，他们却待我们如至亲挚友)”可知，作者说地址写错通常难有好结果，会错失良机、错过团聚，而自己的故事却圆满收尾，还夸赞塔维斯托克的人，陌生人却成了贴心主人，对比是为了凸显当地人的善良。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But such nostalgic trips can be disappointing. So much has changed. Is it worth the risk?(但这类怀旧之旅可能会令人失望。因为很多情况都已发生了变化。这样做是否值得呢？)”以及最后一段“But our story did end happily, and I take my hat off to the people of Tavistock. We were perfect strangers, but they were perfect hosts.(但我们的经历最终迎来了圆满，我由衷敬佩塔维斯托克的人们：我们本是素昧平生的陌生人，他们却待我们如至亲挚友)”可知，开头作者担心怀旧之旅会失望、怕登门是冒险，心里满是担忧；后来虽遇门牌号变更、找错房子等波折，却得到房主热情接待，结局圆满，内心是惊喜的。故选B。 C Lions have two types of roar. The newly identified sound is a roar that is mixed in with the recognizable “full-throated roar” of the lions. The study is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Researchers from the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to analyse the roars of animals to determine if there was more than one kind of sound. A total of 1,414 roars were analysed during a two-month study in the Nyerere National Park in Tanzania, which used microphones hidden in trees. Scientists also obtained more than 1,700 roars from collars worn by male lions in the Zimbabwean Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). They found the roar hidden between grunts (呼噜声) and full-throated roars, which was distinct enough to be classified as its own sound. Machine learning methods were able to accurately identify the two roars 95 per cent of the time, data show. “Lion roars are unique and the roaring bout (发作) is an important behaviour,” study author Jonathan Growcott, a PhD student at the University of Exeter, noted. “Not only does it act as a signal to other lions within their pride (狮群) as to where they may be, but, to non-friendly lions, bouts can be used to advertise territorial boundaries. Unfortunately, we are no closer to understanding what the communicative differences of the two roar types may be. But it has long been considered that lion roars may convey information relating to pride size, age or individual.” Lion populations are dwindling. There are around 25,000 animals in the wild in Africa, around half of the number at the start of the century. Mr Growcott added, “Until now, identifying these roars relied heavily on expert judgment, introducing potential human bias. Our new approach using AI promises more accurate and less subjective monitoring, which is crucial for conservationists working to protect. We believe there needs to be a shift in wildlife monitoring and a large-scale change to using passive acoustic (声学) techniques. As bioacoustics improve, they’ll be vital for the effective conservation of lions and other threatened species.” 28. What is the key discovery reported in Ecology and Evolution? A. A distinct type of roar. B. A specific function of roars. C. A territorial marking method. D. A newly discovered “full-throated roar”. 29. How did the researchers distinguish the two types of lion roars? A. By relying on experts’ field observation. B. By applying AI-based analysis to multiple recordings. C. By analysing a number of roars collected in one location. D. By using AI tools to compare roars from different lion prides. 30. What might lion roars act as according to paragraph 3? A. A means intended to aid hunting. B. A signature for identifying a specific lion. C. A tool for expanding the lion pride territory. D. A way to establish a lion’s status in the pride. 31. What does the underlined word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 4? A. On the decline. B. Hard to estimate. C. Under control. D. At a stable level. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现狮子有两种吼声，研究者借人工智能分析多地狮吼录音识别出新型独特吼声，该人工智能方法助力狮子保护，应对其种群数量下降问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Lions have two types of roar. The newly identified sound is a roar that is mixed in with the recognizable “full-throated roar” of the lions. ( 狮子有两种咆哮。新发现的声音是一种吼声，与可识别的狮子“全喉吼声”混合在一起。)”以及第二段中“They found the roar hidden between grunts (呼噜声) and full-throated roars, which was distinct enough to be classified as its own sound. (他们发现这种吼声隐藏在咕噜声和全喉咙吼声之间，这种吼声足够清晰，可以被归类为它自己的声音。)”可知，发表在《Ecology and Evolution》上的研究关键发现是狮子除了已知的“全力吼叫”外，还有一种独特的新吼叫类型。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers from the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to analyse the roars of animals to determine if there was more than one kind of sound. A total of 1,414 roars were analysed during a two-month study in the Nyerere National Park in Tanzania, which used microphones hidden in trees. Scientists also obtained more than 1,700 roars from collars worn by male lions in the Zimbabwean Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). (埃克塞特大学的研究人员使用人工智能来分析动物的吼声，以确定是否有不止一种声音。在坦桑尼亚尼雷尔国家公园进行的为期两个月的研究中，研究人员利用隐藏在树上的麦克风，共分析了1414种咆哮。科学家们还从津巴布韦布拜山谷保护协会（BVC）的雄狮项圈上获得了1700多条咆哮。)”可推知，研究人员通过对多个录音应用基于人工智能的分析来区分这两种类型的狮子吼叫。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it has long been considered that lion roars may convey information relating to pride size, age or individual. (但长期以来，人们一直认为狮子的吼声可能传达了与狮群大小、年龄或个体有关的信息。)”可知，狮子的吼声可能传达关于狮群规模、年龄或个体身份的信息，由此可知，狮子的吼声是识别特定狮子的标志。故选B项。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“There are around 25,000 animals in the wild in Africa, around half of the number at the start of the century. (非洲大约有25000只野生动物，大约是本世纪初数量的一半。)”由此可知，现在的数量是本世纪初的一半，说明数量在减少，故可猜测“Dwindling”意为“逐渐减少的”，和A选项On the decline“在下降”意思一致。故选A项。 D So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense. What do these have in common? They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs (沉没成本)”: the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it. To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke. Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions: Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process? A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile? When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable. Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect? No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost”. Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path. In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day. Not all that has cost is sunk. 32. Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1? A. Boring but beneficial. B. Interesting but worthless. C. Joyful and worthwhile. D. Senseless and regrettable. 33. What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs? A. Focus on the outcome. B. Ignore the future losses. C. Calculate the past cost. D. Pursue the hidden gains. 34. What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Balanced. D. Critical. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sunk Cost Fallacy in Daily Life B. The Unpredictable Journey of Education C. How to Avoid Sunk Costs in Decision-Making D. When Economics Meets Education: Beyond Sunk Costs 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了沉没成本的概念及经济学家的应对建议，还探讨其在教育领域的不适用性，指出教育的投入不能用纯经济成本收益衡量。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense.(你硬着头皮看完了花钱买的电影，无聊透顶。为了那杯奶茶排了长长的队。花大价钱买了奢侈手袋——昂贵的无用品)”可推知，这些例子里的行为都是毫无意义且让人觉得后悔的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away.(为了避免这种情况，经济学家告诉我们，做决定应主要基于未来价值，而非过去的投入。如果持续的成本超过预期收益，就应该及时止损，抽身离开)”可知，经济学家建议我们关注结果来避免沉没成本的影响。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story.(教育显然与商业领域截然不同。孩子的成长无法像制定商业策略那样被规划，它的展开，就像一个独一无二、充满未知的故事)”以及第六段中的“In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day.(在教育中，我们必须坚守这样的信念：为孩子所做的一切都是值得的。每一次爱的付出，都如同给种子浇灌阳光和雨露；虽然我们看不见它的根在地下生长，但我们知道，这颗种子终有一天会绽放)”可推知，作者对教育中的投入持支持的态度。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章先介绍了经济学中的沉没成本概念和应对方法，接着指出生活并非单纯的经济计算，随后重点论述沉没成本理论在教育领域并不适用，教育的投入有其独特的价值，全文围绕经济学与教育的碰撞展开，说明教育领域要超越沉没成本的衡量标准。由此可知，“经济学与教育的交汇：超越沉没成本”可以概括文章主旨，适合作为文章主题。故选D项。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。 Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket. ____36____ The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line. ____37____ If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less. Whether arriving early shortens my wait depends on when others choose to arrive, and if all tourists follow the same internet advice and arrive an hour early, the lines at opening may be the longest of the day. It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest. ____38____ Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do. ____39____ Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though. By arriving before opening, you get your waiting out of the way when other activities are not yet open. Sure, you might give up an hour of sleep or the chance to have a leisurely breakfast. This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you. ____40____ If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome. A. Only then is queuing up early a good choice. B. Sightseeing joy outweighs breakfast comfort easily. C. But the economist in me is not sure about this advice. D. This is why you are better off considering opportunity cost. E. Opportunity cost awareness improves personal satisfaction later. F. Thinking about opportunity cost can make arriving an hour early seem sensible. G. Your opportunity cost is the enjoyment, work, or wages you give up by waiting. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了经济学中“机会成本”的概念，并通过排队等待的例子说明如何根据机会成本来做出更合理的决策，以最小化等待的总时间。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket.(经济学家对你在等待时必须放弃的东西有一个名称。我们称之为机会成本。例如，你总是要排很长时间的队才能买到音乐会门票。)”可知，前文先定义了机会成本，再用排队买票举例，空处需要具体解释这个例子里的机会成本是什么。G选项(你的机会成本就是你因等待而放弃的乐趣、工作或薪水)承接上文的例子，具体阐释机会成本的内涵，符合语境。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line.(网上关于如何在西斯廷教堂避免排长队的建议通常是早点去，或许在博物馆开门前就去，以确保排在队伍前面。)”以及下文“If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less.(如果我在售票前一小时到达以排在第一位，但如果我在博物馆开门时到达，只需要等四十分钟，那我最终等待的时间反而更长了。)”可知，空处需要表达对网上这条建议的质疑。C选项(但我骨子里的经济学家思维让我对这条建议存疑)承接上文的建议，引出下文对该建议不合理性的分析，符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest.(很难预测什么时候排队的时间真的最短。)”以及下文“Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest, you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do.(与其在你认为队伍最短的时候去，不如在你的机会成本最小的时候去，例如，当你没有（或很少有）更好的事情要做的时候。)”可知，空处需要引出“考虑机会成本”这个解决办法。D选项(这就是为什么你最好考虑机会成本)承接上文“难以预测排队最短时间”的问题，引出下文的解决策略，符合语境。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though.(不过，有时这会增加你等待的总时长。)”可知，空处内容与下文构成转折关系，应该先说明考虑机会成本的好处。F选项(考虑机会成本会让提前一小时到达的做法显得合理)先肯定考虑机会成本的积极作用，再用下文的“though”转折，指出其可能存在的问题，符合语境。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you.(如果计划的活动对你来说有更大的价值，那么这就是值得的。)”以及下文“If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome.(如果你排在博物馆的第一位，你就能参观教堂，还能在罗马充实游览其他景点。)”可知，空处需要表达“提前排队是好选择”的结论。A选项(只有在这种情况下，提前排队才是个好选择)承接上文“活动有更大价值就值得”的观点，引出下文的具体例子，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother was the most horrible cook, unbelievably bad at it.

She thought everything could be ____44____ by a dried apricot (杏). She was extremely experimental but ignored basic ____45____ . So when she died earlier this year, I ____46____ many things would make me ____47____ her, but none of the things would be edible (可食用的) .

It’s just a ____49____ tree, but it produces enough apples to ____50____ an army over a mountain. For three months of every year, I could never go and see her without her saying, “Please take some apples,” and handing me a huge basket. I would say, “No, nobody in my ____51____ likes apples and I don’t even like ____52____ .” and she’d go, “How about just these 37 apples at the top?”, and I’d go, “No.” Of course, this autumn, I’ve been ____53____ by the need to finish them all. I’ve made a lot of things with apples, and I’ve eaten vast amounts of food that are apple-associated.

I never have to eat that peanut soup again, which had an apricot in it.”可知，这是关于母亲糟糕厨艺的具体食物记忆，因此是“与食物相关的”念头。故选A项。 【49题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它就是一棵普通树，但它结的苹果足以为一支军队翻山越岭提供能量。A. huge巨大的；B. tough坚韧的；C. regular普通的；D. beautiful美丽的。根据后文“but it produces enough apples to ____ an army”的转折可知，此处强调虽然树“普通”，但产量惊人。故选C项。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它就是一棵普通的树，但它结的苹果足以为一支军队翻山越岭提供能量。A. follow跟随；B. power为……提供动力；C. defeat击败；D. establish建立。苹果是食物，根据后文“an army over a mountain”可知，此处表示苹果树结的果实很多，多到能为行军提供能量，所以用“power”。故选B项。 【51题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我会说：“不，我家没人爱吃苹果，我自己甚至都不喜欢水果。”她就会接着说：“那只要最上面这37个苹果怎么样？”，我还是会回答：“不行。”。A. company公司；B. school学校；C. town城镇；D. family家庭，家人。根据“nobody”和后文“I don’t even like”可推知，作者为了拒绝母亲的苹果，说家里没有人喜欢苹果。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我会说：“不，我家没人爱吃苹果，我自己甚至都不喜欢水果。”她就会接着说：“那只要最上面这37个苹果怎么样？”，我还是会回答：“不行。”。A. treats款待；B. candy糖果；C. cuisines菜肴；D. fruit水果。根据上文“No, nobody in my ____ likes apples and I don’t even like”以及常识可知，苹果属于“水果”，作者为了强调自己不喜欢苹果，甚至说自己不喜欢任何“水果”。故选D项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当然，这个秋天，我一直被必须吃完所有这些苹果的念头所驱使。A. spared饶恕；B. motivated激励；C. driven驱使；D. rejected拒绝。根据后文“I’ve made a lot of things with apples, and I’ve eaten vast amounts of food that are apple-associated”可知，作者不得不处理大量苹果，所以是被这个“need”所“驱使”。故选C项。 【54题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：随着这个季节接近尾声，我再怎么强调也不为过。A. season季节；B. project项目；C. celebration庆祝；D. festival节日。根据前文“this autumn”以及苹果是秋季产物可知，此处表示这个季节即将结束。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：随着这个季节接近尾声，我再怎么强调也不为过。A. care关心；B. respect尊重；C. stress强调；D. laugh笑。根据下文“enough: eat your mother’s apples while she’s still alive.

On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch. “Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention. As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom. I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner. As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater. I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave. What I did not expect was that Katrina immediately grabbed a small piece of tofu and ate it. And I most certainly did not expect her to encourage the rest of the table to try my lunch. My new friends were going on about how lucky I was that my mom took the time to prepare a cooked meal for me. They were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn’t get to eat any of my mom’s fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude. When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. Answering with a simple “Good,” I pulled out my lunch box from my bag. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time to buy bread or ham yesterday.” But when she noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking “How was the food?” I paused a moment before I replied, “Perfect, mom. If it’s not too much trouble, can I still have fried tofu for lunch tomorrow?” (161 words) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了新学生Emma因担心妈妈准备的中式午餐（炸豆腐）气味大，而在新朋友面前感到尴尬，试图隐藏午餐却最终被发现的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我以为她们会走开——也会把我赶走。”可知，第一段可描写发生了作者意想不到的事情——同学们很喜欢煎豆腐。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我回到家，妈妈问我今天过得怎么样。”可知，第二段可描述作者告诉妈妈新同学都喜欢煎豆腐，并要求妈妈再次做这道菜。 2.续写线索：猜想同学们会离开——同学们品尝煎豆腐——对煎豆腐称赞有加——妈妈询问学校生活——看到饭盒里的食物被吃完——告诉妈妈真相——请求妈妈再次做煎豆腐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/inspire ②回答：answer/reply/respond ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】They were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good.(运用that引导同位语从句) 【高分句型2】But when she noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking, “How was the food?”(运用when引导时间状语从句和that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 郑州四中高二年级期末考试英语学科试卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上 。 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which street is QuikBank on?

Building a Healthy and Balanced Diet The Healthy Eating Plate presents a simple visual guide to building a healthy meal. By showing different food groups on one plate, it stresses balance, choice, and everyday eating habits. These guidelines highlight what matters most in healthy eating: The type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) in the diet is more important than the amount of carbohydrate, because some sources — like vegetables (other than potatoes), fruits, whole grains, and beans — are healthier than others. It advises consumers to avoid sugary drinks, a major source of calories — usually with little nutritional value — in the American diet. It encourages consumers to use healthy oils, and it does not set a maximum on the percentage of calories people should get each day from healthy sources of fat. In this way, the Healthy Eating Plate recommends the opposite of the low-fat message promoted for decades by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Your Plate and the Planet Just as different foods can have different impacts on human health, they also have different impacts on the environment. Food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and it places an enormous demand upon our earth’s natural resources. 21. Which food choice would be most likely questioned? A. Nuts added to a salad. B. Brown rice with beans. C. Steamed fish with vegetables. D Bacon served with white bread. 22. What is the main message of the Healthy Eating Plate? A. To count calories first. B. To follow a low-fat diet. C. To cut carbohydrate intake. D. To focus on diet quality. 23. Why is the USDA mentioned in the text? A. To explain how food policies are made. B. To highlight the changes in dietary views. C. To show that the Plate takes official advice. D. To support the idea of limiting fat consumption. B Recently, I’ve been on a memory trip. The memories were actually my mother-in-law’s. She’d always wanted to revisit the town in Tavistock, where she was born and grew up, even though she’d once rushed to leave it. But such nostalgic trips can be disappointing. So much has changed. Is it worth the risk? My wife had tried to arrange visits to two houses. How would people react when they got a letter from a total stranger asking to bring her elderly mother round, just because she’d lived there as a girl? The letters were a shot in the dark. The only reply was a rejection from a lady whose husband had just broken both feet. Well, we’d paid for the trip, so why let the opportunity go to waste? No reply had come from the second house, number 17, so we decided just to look at it from the outside. Except: “Are you sure it was number 17? It says number 12 here.” The houses had been renumbered — my wife had written to the wrong house. Then, as we stood outside number 12, a message arrived from number 17: “Anytime tomorrow morning would be fine. Look forward to seeing you.” And there was I thinking how house numbers made life easier for postal workers than charming old names like Honeysuckle Cottage and Holly-Tree House. We knocked at number 12. Another disappointment: no one home — only two cats on armchairs. But we returned the next morning. This time, the owner welcomed us in, happily showing us pictures of the renovations he’d done to this 18th-century house. A letter sent to the wrong address rarely leads to a happy ending. In both stories and life, a simple misdirection can cost dearly-a dream job lost, or a long — awaited reunion missed. But our story did end happily, and I take my hat off to the people of Tavistock. We were perfect strangers, but they were perfect hosts. 24. What does “a shot in the dark” in paragraph 2 mean? A. An attempt with little hope. B. A risky request. C. An invitation with no response. D. A careless decision. 25. What caused the confusion when the author’s family visited the second house? A. The owner’s refusal to meet. B. An error in the letter’s address. C. A change in house numbers. D. The mix-up of old house names. 26. Why does the author contrast their story’s ending with typical outcomes of misdirection? A. To stress the cost of mistakes. B. To show they were just lucky. C. To argue for careful trip planning. D. To highlight the kindness they met. 27. How did the author’s feelings about the trip change? A. From being a bit nervous to pretty excited. B. From feeling worried to pleasantly surprised. C. From having no interest to becoming curious. D. From hoping for a lot to accepting fairly little. C Lions have two types of roar. The newly identified sound is a roar that is mixed in with the recognizable “full-throated roar” of the lions. The study is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Researchers from the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to analyse the roars of animals to determine if there was more than one kind of sound. A total of 1,414 roars were analysed during a two-month study in the Nyerere National Park in Tanzania, which used microphones hidden in trees. Scientists also obtained more than 1,700 roars from collars worn by male lions in the Zimbabwean Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). They found the roar hidden between grunts (呼噜声) and full-throated roars, which was distinct enough to be classified as its own sound. Machine learning methods were able to accurately identify the two roars 95 per cent of the time, data show. “Lion roars are unique and the roaring bout (发作) is an important behaviour,” study author Jonathan Growcott, a PhD student at the University of Exeter, noted. “Not only does it act as a signal to other lions within their pride (狮群) as to where they may be, but, to non-friendly lions, bouts can be used to advertise territorial boundaries. Unfortunately, we are no closer to understanding what the communicative differences of the two roar types may be. But it has long been considered that lion roars may convey information relating to pride size, age or individual.” Lion populations are dwindling. There are around 25,000 animals in the wild in Africa, around half of the number at the start of the century. Mr Growcott added, “Until now, identifying these roars relied heavily on expert judgment, introducing potential human bias. Our new approach using AI promises more accurate and less subjective monitoring, which is crucial for conservationists working to protect. We believe there needs to be a shift in wildlife monitoring and a large-scale change to using passive acoustic (声学) techniques. As bioacoustics improve, they’ll be vital for the effective conservation of lions and other threatened species.” 28. What is the key discovery reported in Ecology and Evolution? A. A distinct type of roar. B. A specific function of roars. C. A territorial marking method. D. A newly discovered “full-throated roar”. 29. How did the researchers distinguish the two types of lion roars? A. By relying on experts’ field observation. B. By applying AI-based analysis to multiple recordings. C. By analysing a number of roars collected in one location. D. By using AI tools to compare roars from different lion prides. 30. What might lion roars act as according to paragraph 3? A. A means intended to aid hunting. B. A signature for identifying a specific lion. C. A tool for expanding the lion pride territory. D. A way to establish a lion’s status in the pride. 31. What does the underlined word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 4? A. On the decline. B. Hard to estimate. C. Under control. D. At a stable level. D So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense. What do these have in common? They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs (沉没成本)”: the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it. To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke. Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions: Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process? A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile? When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable. Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect? No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost”. Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path. In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day. Not all that has cost is sunk. 32. Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1? A. Boring but beneficial. B. Interesting but worthless. C. Joyful and worthwhile. D. Senseless and regrettable. 33. What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs? A. Focus on the outcome. B. Ignore the future losses. C. Calculate the past cost. D. Pursue the hidden gains. 34. What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Balanced. D. Critical. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sunk Cost Fallacy in Daily Life B. The Unpredictable Journey of Education C. How to Avoid Sunk Costs in Decision-Making D When Economics Meets Education: Beyond Sunk Costs 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。 Economists have a name for what you must give up while you wait. We call this your opportunity cost. For example, you are always queuing a long time for a concert ticket. ____36____ The advice you can find on the internet for beating the lines at the Sistine Chapel often involves going early, perhaps before the museum opens, to secure a spot toward the front of the line. ____37____ If I arrive an hour before tickets go on sale to be first in line, but the wait would be only forty minutes long if I arrived when the museum opened, I end up waiting longer, not less. Whether arriving early shortens my wait depends on when others choose to arrive and if all tourists follow the same internet advice and arrive an hour early, the lines at opening may be the longest of the day. It is hard to predict when the wait will actually be the shortest. ____38____ Rather than going when you think the lines might be the shortest you can go when your opportunity cost is the smallest-for example, when you have nothing (or little) better to do. ____39____ Sometimes, it increases the total amount of time you wait, though. By arriving before opening, you get your waiting out of the way when other activities are not yet open. Sure, you might give up an hour of sleep or the chance to have a leisurely breakfast. This is worthwhile if the planned activities hold greater value for you. ____40____ If you’re first in line at the museum, you can see the chapel and still enjoy a packed day visiting other sites in Rome. A. Only then is queuing up early a good choice. B. Sightseeing joy outweighs breakfast comfort easily. C. But the economist in me is not sure about this advice. D. This is why you are better off considering opportunity cost. E. Opportunity cost awareness improves personal satisfaction later. F. Thinking about opportunity cost can make arriving an hour early seem sensible. G. Your opportunity cost is the enjoyment, work, or wages you give up by waiting. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother was the most horrible cook, unbelievably bad at it.

On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch. “Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention. As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom. I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner. As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater. I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
